Hey, is this only me or everybody is facing such issue
Whenever i play mp3 files in lg music player or even power amp in full volume, after some seconds volume automatically turns down displaying a dilogue for very short interval "media volume automatically turned down to protect your ears"
Because of this i am unable to enjoy mp3 files in full volume.
Do anybody has a fix for this?

Did you try turning it back up after the phone turned it down? Usually that message comes up the second I start playing music but I just turn the volume up after and it works fine

Yes, for some/very less tracks it works but for some it does not and always keeps on turning down( may be for those tracks whose default volume is just ok or quite high) but its really annoying to have the same problem in ligit songs.
What i have noticed is that in this handset the volume is already very low, so whats the point of Lg worring about hearing damage and trolling us

As I manage my mp3s in folders, I use Poweramp and Music Folder Player, which both have a sound engine capable of squeezing sufficient extra volume out of the phone.
You can control volume with the app "Headset Button Controller". However , JB reserves the long button press, so i configured a quadruple click for "volume up" when discovering this negative aspect of the JB upgrade.

Well, that too didn't worked for me. I wonder why its only me who is facing such problem, and nobody else is worried about it.
I am facing this in both mentioned player also however they are really capable of boosting the volume, BUT LG is far more capable of decreasing it.

Hey,
im facing the exact same Problem. Just flashed CM 11 to my LG lp p760 (beacuse CM 10.2 had the same problem) and still have to deal with it. I tried Poweramp and Appolo.
Phone Speakers/Headset are working just fine but as soon as i plug in my Aux-Stereo-Speakers the volume just goes down to about 50% but the display says its already on full volume and i cant turn it up.
CM 11 has in "kernel settings" the option to activate "headset boost" and if i activate it, the volume is very nice and loud but after like 30 seconds it turns down to even less than before, like 30% of the volume i want. i can then deactivate and activate the boost again to reach 100% volume but it keeps going down. Sometimes the Mediaplayer even crashes and the Music wont come out of the Aux-Speakrrs but the Handy instead.
Does anybody know any solutions? The problem did not occur without a Custom Rom.

I often use my phone to listen to the bible and listen to other things. But i really want to be able to turn on some background music with low volume and turn up the voices of my bible app.
Is there any app put there that could allow me to do better mixing?

I am looking to solve a similar problem.. I often use google navigation and google play music at the same time while driving; i don't like the music extremely loud, but if i set the music at a reasonable volume, I often cannot hear the navigation voice prompts clearly.
Will the above app let me turn up just the navigation voice prompts without affecting the music that is playing in the background at the same time? I think that both are outputed on the media audio channel, so if the app is just changing the volume at the level of the media channel it probably wont work.
Any ideas / experience is appreciated..
Thanks!
App volume can manage only the media stream, actually is not possible to separate per app streams with app volume app ...

It'd be awesome if some developer could manage to add the app's icon and volume slider to the default android volume bar upon expanding it..
just use automateit or tasker...

Here's what worked for me.
VLC media player has an equalizer that allows you to lower the volume of a song. Play songs on that at a lower volume and then find another application that allows you to run a separate media track to play audio tapes at a higher volume (my Lyrics Mania app works for this).
I just downloaded an app that worked:
App Volume Manager (for Android)
It is a relatively new app. You set the start up volume for the different apps. I just started using it. There are two issues with using this app:
1. I think it is a 21 day trial
2. I havn't been able to change volume realtime using the app.
For me it works because I just set the start of volume to what I am looking for. It is made to set the start volume not the real time volume.
Could you please shared the play store link?
I cannot figure out to find it.
Thank you

I believe this is the app referred to above:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jappstudio.appvolumemanager&hl=en
..haven't had time to try it, but the description indicates the free version is limited to three applications, but can be unlocked for about a dollar.
with 'App Volume Control' you can choose the volume for each app
non of this propositions work for me, but i know it is possible because when i start soundcloud and after flytube then soundcloud volume is decreased over the flytube.
Hi,
I m looking for the same, did you find it?
Thanks
Sorry to bring up an old thread but I am looking for the same thing. App Volume Control does not work for what the OP was asking for. What we want is something that will adjust volume settings per app under one main setting ie; Media, Ringtone, System etc. Example. I'm playing a game that requires sound on for certain things but also want to listen to Spotify while I play. Both use the Media setting. Is there an app that will adjust boths volume to ones desired levels. App Volume Control does not do this and even states it's not possible.
Dont think it can be done on android as of yet.
It all gets played through "media".
Example playing a podcast in background while playing a game, and you want the game volume lower.
On pc's one way around this is virtual cables and virtual mixers, so if someone was able to funnel each apps audio virtually (with ability to set each individually with a slider) before it gets sent to the "media" sound slider would be a great idea.
Having download Poweramp, because it allows you to play sound simultaneously with other music player, lower the sound of what you need to play using the equalizer function. That way, you have the main music player, playing what you want on a high sound and power amp playing music on a low sound.
SoundAssistant by Samsung lets you control the volume of app running at the same time I use it to have 2 things playing over each other. It works perfect!
I think it only works with galaxy phones though.
Wow achieved it Samsung Sound Assistant. Thanks.
I m shocked there is still not a solution for non galaxy devices.
in my use case I would also be happy with just muting one specific app while allowing the other to be controlled by the media stream. Anyone know if this is possible?

I'm looking for this too in other forum and got the answer that at this time Sound Assistant from Samsung just can do this thing.
I've had my TFP for 2 days now, very happy in general about the device. The on thing that does bother me though is the speaker volume. When I play the same youtube video on both my TFP and iPhone 4 (aiming the iPhone speaker away from me just like the TFP speaker is) the volume on the TFP is considerably lower than on the IP4. To be honest, and I am far from deaf, some youtube video's are just impossible to watch because of this low volume. MKV files in bsPlayer or Dice are very low in volume as well.
Is this normal?
edit: Two other q's:
2. Unlocking the device by keyboard using the mouse buttons/unlock key just stopped working, anyone else had this?
3. Is there a keyboard key to get into the Task Switcher/Recent Apps?
I honestly can say that my Prime is lovely and loud, never any issues with volume. Check all your volume levels in Settings > Sound > Volumes, mine are all at max. I assume you've probably already done that though.
Yea everything is set to max. I know there are apps in the store with which you can boost you volume, but im not sure how safe these are for the speaker. Since I don't know anyone with a TFP I have no one to compare my device with. It just seems strange to me that the TFP seems to have lower max volume than my phone.
I am using an app called Volume+. It works great at increasing the sound volume and customizing the bass, mids, treble.
And you are not afraid Volume+ will mess up your speaker forever?

+1 for this app, I've been using it on my nexus s since may and have had no issues. You can set it pretty high before it starts distorting your volume--as long as you don't set the volume to max all the time, it shouldn't do anything to your speakers. Just make sure the max volume isn't distorting anything
Volume+ is the ultimate app to boost volume. My prime sounds very loud n clear now. It works. Checkout the thread on it in themes n apps section.
I've had select youtube videos be lower than others, but the prime's sound is usually pretty loud. Its loud enough to turn to about 85% and it play music in a crowded room and everyone still be able to hear the music (e.g. hotel room party). I haven't used Volume+, but I I just installed it and will use it now.

Make sure to follow the instructions. Best to use thread in themes n apps section as a reference. This also boosts headphone volume also if you check it off. After you installed n set it up, make sure to go into prime settings, then sound, then music fx. Make sure the volume+ one is checked off n press OK. Might have to press OK a couple times if it tries to throw up an error. Whatever you do, don't go trying to Max everything out in volume +. Best to leave sound on "good" quality.
I got one of those fancy vibration-technology speakers (trupulse.net) for Christmas, but regardless of the ROM I've tried (Super Jelly, JellyBam, & others) I get a noticeable crackle when playing music through bluetooth on it. Seems to be connected some to what I do on my phone while music's playing (opening apps, rotating the screen, etc), but it also happens randomly too. I had my wife try it on her stock LTE with Jellybean and it works correctly. I'm also confident it's bit the speaker itself because my TouchPad and my bro-in-law's iPhone worked fine too.
Anybody got any ideas what the issue might be?
P.S. I noticed I have 2 bluetooth share apps, so I froze them individually in TiBu but do still had the issue.
I notice crackle when multitasking or when i press power button on my phone. It only lasts a second though. Running pacman rom.
Is it a constant crackle? Also, have you tried turning volume down on your phone and up on the speaker?

Thanks for your reply. The speaker I'm using doesn't have its own dedicated volume, only adjusted using whatever's connected to it. It's not consistent in that it's every 5 seconds or anything, but like you said when multitasking (and almost EVERY time the screen rotates) it happens. And sometimes it'll last several seconds at a time.
This has been an issue since launch with the phone. The only thing that I found to work was increasing voltages with a kernel app but I don't believe this to be possible yet. HTC majorly screwed up with BT Audio on this thing.
Alrighty. I searched around and found this question asked a few times around the net, but never answered. Same question is also asked over in the Sprint note2 q&a with no replies...
The question is this..
How the heck do you disable the automatic reduction in volume when plugging something in the 3.5mm jack?
I switch between by car's cd player and a line-in cable to use streaming audio through my phone a lot and am incredibly annoyed with having to turn my phone's volume back up when i plug in the cable. I also dont like being chided like a 10 year old with the "don't listen to loud music" message each time i turn the volume back up... i don't need a nanny. i just want to listen to my music without having to keep fiddling with volume settings.
Anyone know where this "feature" is and how to disable it?

Good question. I was wondering the same thing, as well as how to turn off the "soft ring" or whatever it's called where the ringer starts low when you're receiving a call and after a second or two goes to regular volume.
I've looked in the sound settings and in accessibility but can't find any options for those things.
i seem to be having the opposite problem ...
the volume is loud as hell even on the low setting.
maybe its just me ?

Some custom ROMs have it removed...if you are stock or the ROM you are running doesn't have it removed you can install this app in the market to stop it from happening:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...S5zaHVtb2FwcC5kaXNhYmxlaW5jcmVhc2luZ3JpbmciXQ..
It's free. It runs in the background but I've never seen it consume any battery. All you have to do is open the app and it stops the increasing ring from then on. Make sure and follow the instructions if you don't want the persistent notification. I turned it off and the app has never been killed.
Honestly, that increasing ring was irritating, but i never thought about fixing it... i installed that app and we'll see how its works.
Now if we can just get rid of that stupid volume reduction i'll be set!

Hey, everyone! This is my first post here, so be gentle.
I'm having some trouble with Google Navigation on my SGS3 from US Cellular. Now, I understand that the volume has been merged together with the media volume, and that's not really my issue.
When I enter Google Navigation, the media volume reads correctly. (I jacked it up to full volume just to test this out. It reads full volume when I start GN.) But when a turn-by-turn direction reads, the volume is really low. If I hit the volume up button during the TTS directions, it shows that the media volume is set very low. I can turn it up while the direction is speaking, and the media volume does increase. But the next time a direction begins saying something, it's quiet and the volume is reset really low again. I have to keep turning the volume up for each turn-by-turn direction!
When I exit GN, the media volume is back to full blast again, just as it was before I entered the app. So, it's obviously something GN is doing. I just don't get why it won't remember my volume setting when I turn it up.
Any ideas as to why it's doing this? Any thoughts on how to fix this issue? I did a bunch of searching and couldn't find anything that completely fits my problem description.
ETA: I tested this again, and it's only a problem if I have a media player fired up. I use n7. When it kills the volume for the media player, it does so for the navigation, too.
Unfortunately, even if I close n7, the volume is still ruined until I stop and restart my Bluetooth connection. If I start Bluetooth and run navigation without the media player, tts works fine.
Apparently the audio issue where it keeps turning my volume down is only when it's not connected to Bluetooth in my car.
do you even use google navigation? if not just disable it in setings

Well, it's difficult to use it when Navigation keeps messing up my audio. The phone is still pretty new to me. I just got it in January. I'd like to use it as my GPS, but I'm not going to go for a long drive without playing any music in my car. And I'm not going to just use GN anyway, when I'm likely to blow past my next turn because the audio directions don't work properly.
Why would I bother to ask the question if I don't use (or, in this case, want to use) Navigation? It's like you're implying that I'm asking about something I won't bother using anyway.
My workaround for this issue
I have the same issue; both music and nav volume drops during voice turn by turn instructions. I found the media volume is being turned from full to half during the nav/voice output. I use Volume Ace and it has a feature to "lock media volume". I check this box and now when a turn by turn instruction plays the nav/voice speaks at full volume (the media volume setting is no longer reduced to half during voice output) though the music is also playing at full volume in the background. Hope this helps.

That helps a lot. Thanks! I'll have to give this a try and see if it works on my phone.
Do you have to set the media volume lock each time you want to use the GPS? Seems like you'd need to turn it on/off only when you need to use the Navigation app.
Yes i have to turn the media lock on for gps and off for normal use. Its a hack for sure but at least i can hear the gPS voice prompts for now until Google fixes the maps app. Good luck.

Has anybody actually found a proper solution to this problem? I am having exactly the same issue on my new HTC one GE. If I pair my phone to my car via Bluetooth and use Copilot (navigation app) while playing music through the stock play music app, every time there's a voice prompt from copilot the music volume fades down, as it should, but then it doesn't automatically come back up when the prompt ends. I have to manually increase the volume which is both annoying and dangerous. To me it seems something rather simple to do but according to Copilot's customer support it entirely depends on my phone's capabilities, whatever that means. I know that I'll get a lot of grief by saying this, but my iPhone 4 could do this no problem.

I just stopped using my n7 media player and switched to Pandora radio. Pandora doesn't have this issue. It must have a separate volume control built into the app.
