I use wavelet for YouTube music. After I clear and wipe the musicfx system app which seems to automatically tune itself to some preset settings I don't like and then disable, I install wavelet. I then turn on it's notifications and set the buffering to prefer latency over clipping. Set my settings and off I go. But periodically I will notice my volume and sound will become dulled again and the sound will go back to being lower. I'll push the power button in wavelet and will discern no difference it anything. I'll change settings in the middle of a song and nothing. Can anyone please help me and tell me a way I can keep wavelet working?
Sorry, I don't have an answer to get it working - Even I had similar issues in Wavelet and couldn't get it work as intended. Then I gave a try for Poweramp Equalizer.

How's that compared to wavelet? I like the results of wavelet. Just a pain in the ass to keep it functional.

Is MusicFX a system app? I don't have this on my Pixel.
According to the website, most pre-installed music apps lack support for audio processing.
Or they require additional configuration.

Yup it's a system app. I got the regular pixel 6. As far as I know it should be there. You can access it thru YouTube music. Go to settings, playback, equalizer. It's off unless you turn it on and when you do the already dubious volume gets even lower. Some bull**** if you ask me.

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?
Sent from my EVO using XDA
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.
Since the ICS update, I've been having some issues with the built in music player.
First, playing music, when a notification is received and you have a notification sound set, music pauses, notification sound plays, then music plays at the notification sound level until you adjust the volume. Not sure if this is an ICS bug or HTC music player bug.
Second, playing music, when google navigation speaks a direction, the audio volume is not lowered and/or paused like on GB. Basically means you can't listen to music and navigate, as music drowns out any navigation directions.
Google play music does lower the volume properly when navigating, but it can't use the HTC SRS WOW filter or Beats filter. Same applies to any other third party app, so they aren't acceptable solutions. Generally, I prefer the HTC music UI anyways.
Anyone experiencing the same problems/have workarounds/etc?
I haven't tried this so I will see if it happens to mine. You could always try flashing the beats mod that allows beats to work with all apps. It would be a band aid in effect

I get the increased volume after a notification too. Not sure if there is a setting to block out notification sound when music is playing like in CM. Haven't really hunted around yet. As for the other issues I don't play music during navigation so don't know about that.
Its not a reset issue I believe its a flaw built into Sense. Probably a line of code written wrong for the notification volume while music is playing on HTC's music player. I believe other players have options to mute notifications sounds but I haven't checked to be sure.

Yes. Sort of took the ota while unlocked and totaled my install. So wiped everything quite a few times.
Re: disabling notification sound. I actually prefer to hear it; disabling it isn't a good solution. I suspect it's a bug in sense and/or the music player.
Flashing the beats mod would be no good as I only use beats when using headphones. I disable it when using speakers as it sounds like crap over them - the HTC SRS filter sounds better. It's my understanding that the beats mod is not easily disabled on the fly, either.

As a temporary solution I've set the volumes for notifiactions and ringtones to the same as media to see if that at least alleviates the problem of having to lower my sound volume when the mysic player is running. Now I just need to find a way to test it out.
Edit: It didn't work, I sent an email to myself from my pc while I was listening to music thru the phones headphones and the volume increased as usual. I went into settings and the notfications volume had actually increased on it own, its like it resets itself to some default voulme after a notification. The media volume I had set hadn't increased at all but the volume was definetly louder. Its as if the media volume switches to using that of the notification and ringtones setting.
I included some pics as to whats happening. Volume 1 is what I set before the notification was sent and volume 2 is where the settings were after a notification came in. However the phone doesn't appear to even be using these settings as the music is much louder than the settings in either photo.

Yeah, any sort of volume adjustment fixes the level, after the notification.
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.
I find I can't lower the notification volume and ringtone volume low enough.
Does anyone know how to change the volume steps? I have sound assistant but it only works for media volume...
I'm rooted if it helps and I've tried the AOSP based rom solution of changing the build prop but with no success.
Thanks for any help!
Have you tried "sound assistant" app. It is from Samsung and has function you are looking for.

Ah my bad, don't know how I missed it. It is possible in two ways:
01- Get a custom kernel with volume modification support. I use a Galaxy S7edge with Surround sound, this makes the sound loud and more immersed but it has a drawback. The low threshold of volume is too high same as yours. I usually have a problem with the in-call earpiece audio which is too loud for me. I use MoroKernel and luckily a recent update brought the feature of MoroSound providing fine control over gains of 2-microphones, earpiece, and main speaker. You can also look for a kernel with such features for your device.
02- Manually modifying the sound configuration files. That is a bit difficult but good research with a bit of experimenting will eventually get you there.

Any chance you know how to mod the sound config files on an S21? Unfortunately there are no custom kernels yet for the Exynos version

Yes, go to /etc/mixer-gains.xml and edit it. Drawback is your device entire volume range will be affected like for media and stuff. One more way and probably the more practical one just hit me.
Find your ringtone and notification tone from /system/media/audio/ or download them from google and use a software like Audacity or Adobe Audition to reduce their volume.
You reduce your phone's volume to the lowest and match pc's volume with it. Then reduce the audio gain in the software until you feel comfortable with it. Export it and use it.
For anyone interested. My solution ended up being the following, with my end goal being too optimize my audio with Dolby and have the volume still be lower (but optimized) on the phone speaker.
I tried a ton of different apps, a few magisk volume steps modules, ViperFX with Dolby and finally I found a good solution.
Turn off the default Dolby stuff on the phone.
Install Dolby Atmos ZTE A2019 PRO for magisk (google it and find it on GitHub).
Reboot.
Install JamesDSP from ZackPTG5's website.
Reboot.
Install Audio Modification library to use Dolby and JamesDSP at the same time.
Reboot.
Create a custom equalizer in Dolby and try max things out as much as possible with it still sounding great.
Open JamesDSP, go to Speaker, set limiter threshold to -5, go to post gain and set it to -10. Turn on the master switch. Leave everything else unless you want to change any Bluetooth or headphone settings. Hide the persistent JamesDSP notification.
Reboot.
Install Audio Compatibility module with all the recommended settings.
Reboot.
Result, Dolby Atmos handles all the audio, increases the volume, applies optimizations system wide. However because volume steps are tricky to change on this phone we are stuck with the phone speaker volume being too loud even on the lowest setting. JamesDSP lowers the volume to the built-in speakers but we still get the Atmos experience we want. Everything else I assume you want to be louder anyway, like Bluetooth and headphones.
Audio Modification Library makes James and Dolby work together.
Audio Compatibility Patch fixes some issues with certain apps not using the sound mods.
Success! You get Dolby Atmos everywhere, but it doesn't max out the phone speaker volume, but it will still max out everything else. Oh and you can also change whatever other settings you want in JamesDSP.
I have searched through here for hours now... I'm trying to figure out how to boost the volume on my Google pixel 6. Does anyone know how to make the volume louder coming out of the speaker?
I use the Wavelet app to increase volume, makes a huge difference. I turn on Legacy Mode, Graphic Equalizer & Limiter.
In Graphic Equalizer, use Personal Preset & turn up everything.
In Limiter, zero everything (threshold can be -2) & increase Post-gain to max.

I tried out wavelet as an experiment with my pixel 6 unrooted, and the limiter regardless of the post gain settings causes too much distortion for my ears. Root your phone and install Viper, then you can gain it to max, with zero distortion.
isnt there volume boost in accessibility?
