My favorite thing about the V30 is the quad dac because when enabled it gives you volume control in 1% increments. My hearing is sensitive, i will normally listen to music at a volume of 5 or less.
However, after the Oreo update, volume of 1 is too load. I have the quad dac enabled, and have the gain set to -6db (minimum) on both channels. I have tried different "filters" and sounds presets. Didn't help. I have tried disabling the quad dac, this only makes it go loader because now it adjusts in 5% increments.
Has anyone else noticed this change? If no one else had noticed this I will try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, i can go back to using an inline volume slide adjustment to reduce volume.
Thanks!
PS: I know most people will probably be happy about the volume increase and it was probably done for this reason. I understand I am likely an outlier on preferred volume levels.
Just an updated.
This was a fluke. I restarted my phone and the volume levels returned to what they were before instead of being elevated.

Made a post and solved it yourself! Reminds me of the football play where the quarterback threw the ball to himself and got a touchdown.

I've noticed that whenever I plug in my stereo's aux cable to the headphone jack, the Media volume drops immediately to around 3/4 of max, and I have to manually turn it up every time. Is there a setting I can change to disable this, or am I going to have to flash a rom?
Sounds like a feature you would want to keep. Prevent accidental damage to your speakers. I usually control the volume of my stereo through my phone. So 3/4 is about where I keep the volume. But that's me.
There are apps in the market that can 'lock' your volume from being changed like volume control +. Here's a link:

I'm the exact opposite - I leave my phone on max volume and control it with my head unit - it automatically ramps volume up from Zero to the last setting when it turns on.
Thanks for the link, I'll take a look at that app.
Btw, at 3/4 volume on the phone, I'd have to crank the head unit near to max, or crank the gains on my amp, and I'd prefer to do neither.

I noticed when I plug in my headphones in my car (to ye old cassette adapter), the volume goes down to around 60% or so. Raise it up to 100%, unplug & plug the headphones back in & it lowers again.
Anyone know if there is a setting somewhere I'm not aware of?
Just a guess..but that's probably a feature to save your eardrums.

pretty sure this is right
Darn you 'features' for causing me extra steps!!
This annoys me too. I need the volume at 100% for it to sound decent in my car. And where I dock it, the volume keys are face down so it's a hassle to do.
I smiled the first time I saw the "listening at high volumes can damage your hearing" warning that appears when raising the volume to 90-100%.

Same here....
Power amp has a feature to resume volume level when headphones are plugged back in

Nevermind I guess it doesn't
Nobody has figured out how to disable this yet?
When I plugin external speakers, the volume automatically lowers itself down. I raise it up to 15... it lowers it back down to 10 automatically with a pop-up about listening to music too loud. Wtf.

I think jkay volume lock does that
I just got my new EVO LTE. I rooted it and running meanrom 6.0. I've been having trouble with my sound? When I plug it into my car I turn the volume all the way up and its still not that loud and no bass kicks in. When I plug in my EVO 3d I turn the volume all the way up on the phone and you can hear way better. Is there something wrong with my EVO? Or is there a setting preventing it to reach its maximum volume?
I don't think anything is wrong with your phone the volume just sucks. You could try an app volume+ didn't really help me but it might for you.
the headset volume is pretty low, I've played with the settings to see if I can get more of a decent output but it starts to sound distorted. The only thing I can think of is this trend of dropping the volume that's slowly making a return. A few years back advocates complained about kids damaging their hearing and a lot of companies went so far as to build limiter circuits to keep them from reaching certain decibels. Of course that worked a bit differently, you could still get full volume with a few work arounds
Yesterday the speaker was working extremely well. Even had to turn down the volume to the middle. Today, there is very little volume even when set to the highest and the tone is very scratchy. All was well yesterday and usable yet to day it is not even loud enough to hear. I made no other adjustment yesterday except for turning on the speaker which turned out to be great and what I was looking for since at my age, I find it hard to read the messages.
What is the fix or what adjustments do I make to get this back on track?
HELP!
Later today, the ZW2 volume and speaker came back to normal.
Anyone know why this happened and in the future when the issue repeats, it can then be solved.
You can change volume of speaker by press volume up and down on your phone when you are talking with someone by speaker of zenwatch 2.
Thanks for the reply but what is going on is that the Sound changes as described in my original post without adjusting the phone volume.
In the last two days it has been great and clear with a change to crackly and soft to only return again back to great and again today back to bad.
Do I have a defect in my ZW2, is it with the recent update, or is it a settings that can be adjusted.
Love the read out for the phone and want it to stay in the "Great" mode

This does not work for music. Any thoughts on that?
What is strange is that sometimes the sound is fine other times it can hardly be heard. I check phone volume and also OK Google to increase volume to max which it shows but the speaker does not respond to these outside adjustments
I feel like this is only happening to me since after hours of Googling I couldn't find anyone else asking this.
I'm using the ZTE Axon 7, at the moment it's rooted but it worked the same way before the root.
When I use the phone's speakers while inside the Daydream app, the sound volume can go up to 100%. However when I plug the phone's headphones or my surround gaming headset the maximum volume is limited to 50%.
Any ideas why is that?
EDIT: Ok it turns out I just had to increase the volume above 50% while NOT in the VR environment, then I got a message warning me of the risks of hearing too loud and after accepting once I can get up to 100% in VR too.
I guess that's why no one had this issue before, the first thing I tried on my new phone was the VR!
