[Q] (Q) volume button only for media volume

Is there a way to get the buttons to only adjust media volume. Now it's always calling volume and only when playing media it will switch to media volume.
I like it to always be media volume, bcs I'm always on vibrating
thnx in advance

[BUG] boosted volume outside app

Nexus 6p / stock and not rooted 6.0.1
I got the app, started using it but afterwards the volume for everything was boosted to +100% making the lowest volume setting equal or higher than the former maximum my phone was capable of.
Podcasts are distorted slightly but enough to make me go without in most cases. Nevermind that the volume is loud even at the lowest possible setting.
Actions I have taken:
Turn off volume boost
Lower volume in mx player
Uninstall
Reinstall
Other odd items
When adjusting volume with physical buttons the slider jumps down or up seeming to account for the expanded 30 step volume but never reaches the original minimum.
While adjusting volume on my Bluetooth headset the media volume adjusts as well in increments of 5, it did not do this previously.
Hoping for a swift resolution as my phone is completely useless for listening to music or podcasts while this persists. Any ideas are welcome.

Unpaired my bt headphones, LG 730, and re-paired. No effect, everything from OP still present.
My Bluetooth stereo on my car is not effected, volume works normally.

Hmm, I would try enabling the system volume panel in options, then adjusting the volume with that enabled, so that MX explicitly changes the system volume as well, see if that will reset anything.

Is there a way to make all notification sounds (ringtone, text, etc) same volume?

so basically when i use up/down keys on the side of the phone to lower ringtone volume, it ONLY lowers ringtone volume, i literally have to adjust everything else in the drop down menu up at the top. its very annoying.
any way to make it so that when i press up/down in the volume buttons everything else goes up and down in volume and not just the ringtone??
i looked in settings and couldn't find squat.

Oneplus 6 Pie update Volume Control

Hi all
I saw an earlier thread on this but can't believe that it's not a bug that needs fixed.
My phone has no apps open, I unlock it and press the volume buttons and up pops a little window showing me that I am adjusting the media volume. This functionality used to be context sensitive, ie, in this case it would adjust the ringer, in a call it would adjust the call volume and when playing media it would adjust the media volume.
Now it's just the media volume and a few screen actions to adjust the ringer.
Surely this is a backwards step and a bug?
Does anyone know of a way to change this, or an app that can be associated with the volume controls to make it work properly?
Thanks
Michael

I don't know that there's a way to revert it to a previous Android way of handling it as it's the way Google built Pie's volume control to work.
FWIW, they did it for the millions out there who don't ever want to change the volume for their ringer/notifications once they get it set, especially if they start adjusting volume for something like a call before the context has kicked in, so you inadvertently adjust ringer volume instead of in-call volume. At least, that's what I assume it is because that's what happened with me. I have set my phone to vibrate as soon as it's out of the box, and with the new way of handling volume, I no longer have to deal with changing it off of that setting until I reset the phone. I love it.

Thanks for the reply, and the explanation Seamonkey. I have to say though I still don't get why they didn't just make this a user selectable option. Pick the default volume to adjust or leave it as context sensitive.
For some of us the phone is still a device for phone calls first and everything else second!
All the best

Notification volume?

I'm getting desperate about the notification volume thing. I'm using volume butler but it's not reliable, especially when switching to DND mode and back. Sometimes my ringtone is very soft while the notifications are really loud.
Looking for a final fix for this, my phone is rooted. Is there some build.prop that can be enabled or a magisk mod?

Hello, you can use Button Mapper here in XDA.
You have the option to use ringtone volume instead of media volume with the + - button.
You can also make applications exceptions. I use that with play music while I use Chromecast.
That's work without root.
Regards.

I used Tasker and set up tasks that sets levels for everything in four different volume conditions... Vibrate, Low, Medium and High. Within each task, I set Alarm Volume, Media Volume, Notification Volume and Ringer Volume. I also created a pop-up to tell me what profile I just set.
Then, I created individual widgets on the screen that are simply shortcuts to the tasks - one for each volume condition. Tasker comes with that widget built in. When I want to change the volume on my phone, I just tap the icon for the volume I want.
It doesn't override DND and it sets the volumes exactly as you want them every time.
