Hi.
Are there music player apps for android that have an option in the settings that allows the application to set the volume level independent
of other music player apps?
The idea is that I want to play music in one audio player at a relatively low volume, while playing an audiobook in a different audio player
at a higher volume level.
So far most of the apps I've tried only seem able to access the main volume level that applies to all apps (like BSPlayer and jetAudio).
greetings and thanks in advance for any suggestions, Niek
Did you try PowerAmp ?
I'm not 100% sure the volume control is independant tho.

I didn't try poweramp yet, but I'm interested if someone can confirm whether poweramp indeed has an option for this in the
settings that allows the volume of poweramp to be set independent of the main volume.
Maybe I can find out by installing the trial version...

Given that there are so many volume manager apps, you'd expect there to be at least one that offers the capability to manage
the volume of specific apps, rather than managing the generic 'media volume' that applies to all apps.

I can testify that you can do this with PowerAmp. In the EQ settings it has a preamp slide, which will allow you to make it louder or quieter independent of system volume.

That is indeed a kind of partial solution. jetAudio also has preamp slider and that significantly reduces the volume relative to the volume level
of other audio apps, but it doesn't seem the perfect solution, compared to actually having a regular volume slider that only applies to a specific app, because I think that would allow the volume to be set even lower than the preamp slider allows.
Still, good to know poweramp also has such a preamp slider. I guess it can also be used in combination with reducing all the EQ settings to get the volume down even lower.

The media volume in android only has 15 volume levels, 0 being no volume and 15 being max volume. Is there any way to make it so I have say 30 or 100 volume levels so that I can have more precise volume control? Or to add the abbility to change the volume with moving a bar like on the iPhone?
When listening to music it is often the case that one volume level is too quiet and the next one higher is too loud.
Samsung devices can do this in voodoo control. But other device, I'm not too sure.
You can try to use preamp built in music player. Tune the volume yourself.

I'm looking for a OS-wide solution
PowerAMP has this feature with the preamp, but I wanna use the stock app.
Maybe a mod for the stock app which add a volume bar into the user interface?
Anyone else notice that the volume in navigation is extremely low? I have media volume all the way up. I've been streaming iheart radio all day and can hear it well from a good distance so I know the speaker is fine. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Yes. I like the new/sense voice, but the volume seems to max at half or less of the level at which I can listen to other media.
I'd love to see a solution.
I believe the navigation volume is controlled by the system volume. Unfortunately you cant get to system volume easily in the default settings app. I installed quick settings from the market which allowed setting the system volume directly.
Hope this helps

I'm pretty sure its controlled by the media volume. Apps playing music should pause or lower their volume a lot when the Navigation tries to speak, if they do not it is a problem with THAT app.
Pandora and Google Music handle this appropriately, HTC's own music app does not however.
I have recently purchased a Galaxy S Player 5.0, rooted and upgraded the firmware to stock gingergbread.
But i find when using the default music player in my car, the volume is very low, if i use poweramp it increases to the same as my iPod. However i dont want to use poweramp i want to use the stock music player. How can i boost the volume?
I have tried Voodoo but i have a stock Kernel so that doesnt work, is there any way to get into the service menus like on the Galaxy S2 and boost via the codes?
Is it just in the car? Or do you have this problem with speaker and earphones. Also are you using bluetooth to play it from car steros?

Quick Question. Have you tried to Google Play Music app and also have you tried to use any equalizers?
why dont you put the equalizer settings all the way up in the stock player? i have mine set up like that and it boosts the volume a good deal
Headphones are plenty loud enough, its just when i use it in my car. I use the Headphone socket in the car not bluetooth.
Equalizer settings are all the way up and it has made it louder but it is still alot quieter than Power Amp.
I prefer the default app as when you press the home button twice on the lockscreen it has the pulldown menu to change track easily, which is less hassle when driving than unlocking the screen and changing track in Power Amp. Also if i just use Power Amp il have the stock music icon sitting in the dock and not being used, i cant replace it with Power Amp unless i use a different launch can i??
Its not the songs as they are the same songs i have always had and on my old iPod the volume is much much louder.
I havent used google play music as its not available in the UK
Im guessing as there isnt a dialler on the Galaxy Player that the service codes to boost volume cant be accessed?
1.you can change the icon just hold and drag unless its not on the "desktop" then you go into the app drawer and press the menu button and press the edit button and now just hold and drag and i am pretty sure poweramp has equalizer settings that you can put up to and it should have a lockscreen control available.... or not try n7player.... it's pretty good

there is no harm in flashing a kernel if you fell up to it. if not you can go into setting of the main music app and one of the last settings for sound alive is user 1 and user 2. use one of those and drag all the knobs up to the top and that should give you a great deal of difference in sound level

Why don't you use Poweramp's lock screen?
And the icon in the dock can be changed, I changed mine to Poweramp.

+1 Poweramps lockscreen kicks the crap out of the stock.
Also Voodoo sound is for the 4.0, nothing you can EVER do to the 5.0 will make voodoo sound work on it, it uses a different DAC.
Are there any volume or EQ apps or hacks that can work on a specific app (say Spotify) or media only and not affect the whole phone? I often want to listen at a lower volume than the lowest stock phone volume (I've got the tinnitus). Sucks that Spotify removed the inbedded volume control.
I've been using an EQ app (Music Volume EQ) with the settings lowered for listening to music but it affects the whole phone (earpiece, speaker, alerts etc.) and I've slept through an alarm when the EQ was on and I didn't realize it.
My Moto g4 plus has very low volume over headphones/ earphones. I can not even hear the voices in movies having volume raised to maximum.
Any solutions please .. thanks

Don't know whether this will work on your Android OS version:
Tap Settings > Sound & notification, then tap Audio Effects at the very top of the screen. (Yes, that's actually a button, not a heading.)
Make sure the Audio Effects switch is on, then go ahead and touch those five levels, or tap the Equalizer drop-down to pick a preset.
If your device is hooked up to wired stereo speakers, tap the Wired Stereo tab to choose an Effects Profile (such as "3D stereo," "home theater," "live stage," and so on) or a Surround setting (Live, Wide, or Ambient).
Audio effects option is not available in sound and notifications menu.

If you're on Android 4.4+ then try Equalizer FX, is has a loudness enhancer.
Other equalizer apps that come with a loudness enhancer exist, too. GIYF ...
