This is an issue that's been affecting my device from the beginning. Sometimes the volume feels louder than usual: to prove it's not just my imagination, if I pause the device (or switch to another song), after resuming the volume is sensitively lower, although I assume the latter is what is supposed to be the regular volume. In order to restore the 'louder' volume, I need to unplug and quickly replug my headphones, yet it doesn't always seem to work.
I've been wondering if it may be related to the volume limiter included in the drivers that gets somehow disabled and then enabled after I pause and resume.
Did anybody experience this?
I'm using the Uk version of the Yp-GI1, it mounts a stock rom (rooted) and my music player is Poweramp.

I have similar issues, but it doesn't occur often enough for it to bug me.
My symptoms are that sometimes after starting playing audio (I mostly listen to podcasts using DoggCatcher), I can barely hear the audio at all. Unplugging the headphones and plugging them back in fixes the issue.
I always thought that it was a slight defect in my headphone jack causing this. I know when I wiggle the headphone plug when it is plugged in, the audio cuts in/out. As such, I have always kind of figured the defect was associated with the mechanism in the headphone jack that detects when headphones are plugged in (or something else in the jack).
The other audio shift that I notice is associated wtih podcasts that are recorded at a low volume level. When I listen to these, I have to crank the volume. When I pause and then resume the podcast, the player reverts to a lower volume automatically, which I then have to turn up. I have assumed this was by design so that you don't blow your ears out!
I agree that podcast are recorded at a lower volume, I'm a big listener too, but my issue is slightly different. First off it occurs with every pair of headphones/earphones I plug into the device, none of which is faulty. Besides, I don't know how the louder volume is triggered, but I do know that pausing and resuming, or switching to another song turn the volume down of 20-30% and it stays lower until I unplug and plug the headphones again...

During music play, has anyone else noticed small amount of static when changing volume. This happens to me particularly when increasing the volume control. However, it is very inconsistent. When I say static, I mean there is a volume increase (or decrease) with some amount of "other" sound added in. This was not something I noticed with my ipod touch and was just curious if anyone else has this or it's a hardware or software issue.
Do you see when playing music through the speaker only, or with earphones as well?
Speaker is not clear enough to hear if there is any audible noise during volume increase or decrease. . . also hear it when using other music players such as cubed. Also, I was listening through my earphones to Avatar and even though the audio is very clear, when increasing and decreasing the volume I still hear what I guess is better described as a small pop instead of static. That might be a better description for the music noise as well.
Static, crackle, pop
I've been listening to audio books on my Vibrant lately and I've noticed this happening a lot. I've heard it through headphones and I have even heard popping / crackling on the speaker when it plays notification sounds.
Did this turn out to be a defect or is it an issue that everyone has occassionally but just ignores?
Thanks
Does this happen when using the on-screen volume control in the music app or only the rocker button?
Mine will actually crackle even when I'm not touching it.

Yes mine too. It will sporadically "skip" in all music players whether I'm using headphones or not.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!
Now I came across a strange issue.
1) While playing Jewel3 (see marketplace) I noticed that during the game the sound levels slowly decrease, sometimes these at once return to the starting volume level, and slowly decrease later on. This happens in minutes, and slowly, so may go by on non attentive listeners.
2) Also I noted at another time when viewing a video fullscreen with the video player, that when the battery warning came on the volume of the notification was higher than the volume of the video playing. Afterwards the volume of the video had increased.
Has anyone else issues like these? It is hard to reproduce but it occurs regularly.
If you are playing music using Nokia music through the external speakers at full volume and get an email notification, the music keeps playing but at a much lower volume. I noticed this today and was hoping someone else noticed this bug. Can you recreate it? Thing is to get the music back to full volume I had to open a few programs and restart Nokia music. I wonder if it can be fixed or if this is related to the poor speaker volume overall.
Sent from my Lumia 800 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
yes, that i notice too. and if, the message volume was higher than the level set of the playing back audio, the audio will after the message audio continue at the message volume level. thus volume levels seem adjusted by messages and maybe other internal settings.
So I've been running Unnamed 2.21 and the latest Entropy's 3/7 DD for it and it's been rock solid for months without issue. This morning, my alarm went off and woke me up. Tonight, the sound no longer works! Or rather, it works only in specific scenarios. If I plug in earbuds or headphones into the jack, I can hear everything and the mic picks up sound (plugged == working). If I unplug the earbuds, the phone produces no sound and doesn't pick up anything with the microphone. However, if I make a call, and then press speaker, then I will get sound and can talk. And if I take it off speaker, it will work normally, but only for that call. After ending the call, the sound and microphone stop working.
Things I've tried so far:
Factory Reset/Data Wipe
Turned off phone, removed battery
Checked for dirt/debris in mic or speaker locations
This is the closest thread I've found to my issue, but it didn't get very far: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520359&highlight=sound+only+works+when+plugged
Any ideas what could have suddenly brought this on? During this morning and this evening I made zero changes (to my knowledge) to the phone. Very frustrating problem, obviously...
Sometimes when you flash stuff some folder permissions get messed up. Try fixing permissions in recovery.
Does your volume button work?
Have you checked your sound settings?
Have you tried resetting your default sounds?
I tried that. No dice. Volume button works. Sound settings checked for idiocy. They're fine, nothing is silent. I suspect something wonky happened or is going on with the headphone jack (phone thinks headphones are plugged in, I think this would explain the weird behavior). I've tried this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix But sadly it didn't seem to help me. I'll give a go to cleaning the headphone jack.
update: ok it looks like the headphone jack is indeed the culprit. if i pull up the music app, plug in headphones, i can hear it. i unplug the headphones, the app pauses the sound, i hit play, it plays and i can hear sound from the phone speaker. however, right now it is only lasting a little while before i imagine it detects the headphones again and the sound cuts. this is pretty repeatable.
Hi all,
I am having problem with Navigon/CoPilot GPS software where the voice volume is very soft. Especially if I am using the phone to play the music as well. It seems like both of this GPS uses the System volume which I've maxed out but it just seems too soft when compare to the media volume.
Sygic seems to work fine as it uses the media volume instead of the System volume. Just that I seems to prefer the routing provided by Navigon.
I've tried using Siyah kernel but it seems even worst due to the fact that Siyah allows you the amplify the media sound which makes the voice from the GPS almost inaudible. Is there anyone else that uses either Navigon or CoPilot that knows anyway or workaround to fix this?
One way I know is to lower the media volume and just turn up the car radio when using Aux input so that both the system volume and media volume are the same but the issue is that sometimes I forget about that and just turn back on to radio without lowering down the volume. Trust me, the sudden increase in volume is not really good for the heart and not to mention the ear.
Hope someone is able to provide me with a better workaround!
Thanks!

I use Siyah here and STweaks to amplify the Speaker volume.
The default value is 57, try to use 59 or 60 it can get pretty damn loud.

Hi,
Thanks for that. But I am using it plugin to my car radio (aux in). This is so that I can listen to the music on my phone at the same time while the GPS is running. WIth the speaker volume, does that works if the output is not on the phone speaker itself?

Speaker volume = Phone's speaker..
In your case, you need to increase the headset volume, also available in STweaks with the same values (57 default).
A lot of times the Bluetooth volume will be very low when I start playing media. I need to turn down the Bluetooth volume down from 100% to about 75%. After doing this the volume will jump up to the correct level that the slider is showing, then I can move it back to 100% to get full volume.
When listening to music with heavy bass, when the bass hits the rest of the music gets almost distorted and a lower volume. I hear this issue when streaming or listening to locally stored music.
Neither of the issues above were present in the stock ROM. I am just wondering if anyone else is seeing this or if there is a fix.
I am on CM10 20121210
Thanks.
I was having similar issues as well. I had problems with sound quality when connected to my car's stereo. I also had issues connecting to the stereo. This is the reason I switched back to Sense, because it was getting annoying. As soon as someone fixes this I'll jump right back to CM10.
