I have found the correct settings in Alsamixer to finally listen to my music at full volume on my LS970 but every time I disconnect the headphones the setting in HPHL/HPHR (the settings i found that alter the volume without distortion) reverts back to the default setting of 7 instead of the max of 12. I would really like for this configuration to stick throughout a reboot and disconnecting of the headphones. Any help would be appreciated, except for posts telling me to get another app without proof that it works properly on LS970.
Edit: I am running all stock, except for being rooted obliviously. I do not wish to install another rom as my experiences with other roms on this phone are terrible.

Hi,
I've been having consistent problems with volume, specifically being too low, and especially while connected to a bluetooth headset. I also noticed some odd, and likely related, behavior with the volume in general.
Here's how I see it: Start some music playing. Go to Menu > Settings > Sound > Volume and scrub the Media volume slider back and forth from 100% to 0% and back (and repeat).
On my Atrix, the max sound gets consistently lower each pass until it's silent, even at 100% setting. I think this is part of the issue with the media volume. As I adjust it up and down it loses some peak volume each time. I can bring it back up with a lot of tinkering (mostly through the OS volume controls and in PlayerPro), but I have not found the formula to deal with this in a normal way.
Has anyone else seen this, or can suggest a way to prevent or restore these volume anomalies? Running GB and rooted. Thanks!
I haven't seen this specific issue, but if you think the Atrix has volume problems, go try to use the Infuse without voodoo sound.
Are you saying I should try an Infuse ROM? I'm not sure what you're instructing me to do. Sorry for the extra clarification needed.
No, I'm just saying that your issues could be worse. The Infuse is another phone. Disregard my post if it confuses you.
I use PlayerPro also and have no issues over BT. I start my music playing, turn media volume up full via the volume up button, then control volume level after that with my headset.
I never go into the volume in settings, as it is greyed out for me. I am set on silent and vibrate always as I spend a lot of time in meetings.
My issue is not with PlayerPro or even BT (though it is more noticeable with it), the problem is that the audio gets progressively lower as I raise/lower the volume. PlayerPro does have some volume settings, which is why I mentioned it here.
I found an app called Volume+ that works fine with my rooted Atrix. It boosts the bluetooth audio. I still have the problems I listed above, but this one app may enough to get me over the hump.
I still would like to know what causes the strange volume behavior I'm experiencing above.
I use my phone to connect to my cars bluetooth. I've had since the phone since July and it sounded really good up until about three days ago. For some reason the audio lowered and doesn't sound as crisp as it used to. I know it is not the car stereo because my other devices still play perfectly. I have to turn my radio up to the point where the music will sound distorted.
Example = s4 on bluetooth turned to 25 - sounds great
s4 on bluetooth now turned to 25 - can barely hear it.
Is there a setting or even an equalizer that I can use to maybe fix this issue? Also is there any setting in the phone ( running stock ) that I might've pressed that decreased my volume?
Look into a custom rom, I know Hyperdrive has a volume hack slight/loud which works for me. Hopefully someone has an easier way to accomplish this.
Unfortunately I can't root this phone because it was given to me for work purposes.
Sometimes I have this problem, idk how busy you are, but hangouts will sometimes lower volume for me to make a notification sound and forget to put it back, try making your phone give you a notification sound and see if puts it back

Hi there does anyone know how to assign a app to use a different volume level? The problem i have is i use the pumpkin DAB+ app (i have attached to post) to listen to the radio and use tom-tom for navigation but the DAB app volume is much louder that the tom-tom volume so even when set to mute DAB when instructions are played it is too quiet to hear the instructions.
i have tried playing with the volumes in factory setting but it looks as if the DAB and tom-tom volumes are both affected by the system volume, if i lower the radio volume in factor menu and listen to the red radio app and use tom-tom then the instruction are much louder.
so my question is they a way to make the DAB app use the red radio app volume level.
Thanks in advance
You can go in the factory settings menu and change up the volume on 'system' to something like 15 (I tried 20 today and it almost made me jump out of the car when the directions came on!)
OK, back on this thread, which I know I posted a response to. But I didn't quite read the OP right.
I have the same issue that my GPS voice when radio is on is pretty quiet (even with the volume turned up), but when on DVD/streaming it is very loud. Is there a way to make them more equivalent.
Any ideas?
Hi , I have the same issue. When playing music over a music player such as poweramp , dvd or whatever the gps , either sygic or navigon, is perfect. As soon as I use the radio the gps volume is very quiet in both navigation apps. Im using the latest Malaysk ROM.
Thanks
Have you tried head unit system/gps/switching-mixing control ?
Sorry for not updating after my last post, what I have done is in the factory settings menu turned the radio right down (to 1 or 2), DVD down a bit (to 4 I think), system up to about 13 and the volumes are much better mixed. Its only a bit loud when doing Music from USB now so I'm getting there. Basically you need to turn some volumes down, and others up in the factory settings to get something to work for you.
Here's the fix if you have been struggling with this issue

Set the volume levels of correction for each full-time applications. When you switch to the application volume will be increased by the correction value, and at the exit reduced. So I solved the problem of the insufficient level of application volume "Music" in comparison with "Radio";

Hello! I've searched everywhere for answers and fixes about my problem, but unfortunetly I didn't find anything.
Problem 1: Since I installed the latest update to Oreo [RNE-L21I 8.0.0.332 (C432)] I have problem with the stock EQ, and others from the Play Store - when bass boost is turned on, the sound from headphones is awful. When bass boost is turned off this issue disappears, but is annoying since I really enjoyed the sound before installing this update. I tried different pairs of headphones, different EQ apps, restarting, Hard resseting, etc. no fix unless I turn off bass boost.
Problem 2: When I connect my phone via AUX cable to my car, home subwoofer or anything like that music play normally for 2-3 mins then somehow volume is turned down (and when I check is turned to the max, so it's not that the volume is turned down to protect the hearing) and the only fix is to get out the cable and insert it again. This is also really annoying, because I can't listen to one song normally. Yes, I tried different cable (like I already said it happens to different devices), hard resseting and etc. And yes, the problem is still on when I use the stock music app, YouTube and other apps, so it's not an issue with the app. I also found out that my dad has the same issue with his Huawei Y5 II.
I really look forward to any fix since I really enjoy this phone, it's been only a month since I bought it and yes, it is in warranty but I want to try anything that I can do to fix this before I send it.
On a galaxy tab s7+, the tablet's volume control only changes the audio level for the right Bluetooth earbud (Bose quiet comfort).
The left earbud is stuck at a medium volume. The right earbud follows the media volume adjustments normally. In other words, it can be either louder or quieter than the left depending on how I set it. Of course, what I actually want is for both ears to stay equal across all volume settings.
Only the tablet is affected. The earbuds don't have this problem with other devices such as my android phone.
The tablet 's internal speakers work normally and stay balanced at all volumes.
Cold rebooting the tablet did not fix it. Neither did unpairing, resetting, and re-pairing the earbuds. Both the tablet and earbuds are up to date. The audio balance setting is normal in the Accessibility settings, and has never even been touched.
What a strange problem, isn't it? I've tried searching extensively, but all the results that show up are for audio entirely failing to come out of one side, or for people asking how to change the balance. This problem is totally different. Hopefully someone here is familiar with solving an issue like this! Any help is appreciated.
Try a network reset.
Clear system cache.
Try in safe mode.
Try a hard reboot.
Double check all audio settings... all of them.
If those don't work clear data on all associated apks. Try going back to their factory load versions.
Try updating them if still not working.
A hidden setting may have been alter. Poorly written 3rd party apps can do this. The issue may not appear until after the app is uninstalled.
It is preferable to find the root cause than do a factory reset as the issue is likely to reoccur.
Probably not a hardware issue.
Try reverse stereo and mono output if available and see how it behaves. It will give you clues to the cause.
If you factory reset be very careful which 3rd party apps you load. Load one at a time and test.
Thank you for your help! I've investigated it some more and found out more about the problem.
Once the headset is connected, three of the four volume sliders in the system audio controls no longer work as expected, and one of them is questionable. These are the results of testing the four sliders. (Each one plays a test sound through its own channel. I don't think channel is the right word, but I can't remember the right one.)
Ringtone: The test sound plays in both earbuds, as well as the internal speakers. It follows the volume slider perfectly, so no bug there. Still, I don't know whether it's normal to route the sound to both the headset and speaker outputs simultaneously.
Media: This channel has the volume bug. The test music plays at an unchangeable volume in the left, but it follows adjustments correctly in the right. The internal speakers are silent, as they should be.
Notifications: This volume slider has no effect, and the test sound's behavior is strange:
It plays through the left earbud at the unchangeable medium volume, but it plays through the right earbud at whatever level the Media slider is set. Internal speakers are silent, as they should be.
System: Same issue as Notifications.
Once bluetooth is disconnected, all sliders properly control the internal speakers.
What a rabbit hole this is turning out to be. I'm really hoping to avoid the hassle of a factory reset, but the following fixes have not worked:
Network reset, Clearing system cache, Safe mode, Hard reboot, Going over all audio and accessibility settings with a fine toothed comb, Muting and unmuting, Mono audio. (Even in mono, the left is unchangeable and the right obeys the Media slider.)
As for clearing the right apk data, I don't think it's even displaying the relevant apks. I don't see any of the ones I'd consider relevant if this were my Pixel phone. I looked for the option to display system apps, but all I found was a "Samsung apps" list with nothing that seems specific to bluetooth or audio.
My next move is uninstalling anything that plays media, though that'll probably be later this week. In the meantime, any more ideas on how to find and fix the root cause would be much appreciated! I'm hoping the info from the volume sliders can help narrow down the problem.
Update: fix found! I did both a network reset AND accessibility settings reset, then reconnected the headset. I'm thinking it was probably the accessibility reset that did it, but I'm mentioning both together in case that's the secret.
Do some Goggle searches.
Backup critical data. Unistalling apps is probably a waste of time. Play with for a bit until you fix or are tired of playing with it.
Factory reset. If that doesn't get it, it's either firmware or hardware.
Generally firmware doesn't get corrupted unless there's a hardware failure.
It's entirely possible you missed something. It's taken me a week or more sometimes to track something down. Give it some more thought.
When did it start?
What preceded it?
What codec is running when it works?
Try changing the codec and look at the bt options in Developer Options.
