Just got my hdmi cable from monoprice and hooked it up to the TV so the kids could watch a movie on Netflix. I am having a volume issue. I cannot control the volume through my speaker bar so I control the volume off my tablet and Netflix. I have them both all the way done (just before mute) and the sound is still loud.
Is there something I did wrong or am I missing a step? Otherwise the picture looks great with no other issues.
What I noticed on mine is that the player might not control the volume as I used just the stock player and had to adjust everything via the TV. I turned the volume on the tablet all the way down and I still had sound out of the TV. Didn't make a difference. This might be how the audio is being routed through the tablet where it bypasses the tablet's volume control completely. Netflix could be in a category of programs designed to do these bypasses. However, you could try a saved movie or clip via SD card and test with some different players to see if all do it or just some. BS Player I've heard is a good one to try out.

When I play an MP3 file, I get no sound from the phone, or from blue tooth headphones.
The music player is showing the progress as it 'plays'.
Any suggestions?
[EDIT]
Figured it out. I just opened Quick Settings, and found that Media Volume was all the way off. I didn't even know there was a separate volume for that.
If I play music that I've uploaded to my phone, the playback volume is very low. I have to jack it up to 30/30 volume to be able to hear it at a reasonable volume. However if I go onto Pandora, the volume is very loud at around 14/30. What's going on here? It doesn't look like there's been many reported cases of this issue.

to follow up- i found that if i have pandora open and running, then without stopping pandora press the window button, then open music from my phone this will problem occurred.
I just reopened pandora, start, paused, closed it, and opened my music and it worked... also, if I lowered the volume to 00/30, then back up, it seemed to work also.
Info
can we control music with handsfree (I mean load next song or previous song with handsfree?).

Sorry. I cannot reproduce with your steps.

When I made a failed custom handsfree for my windows phone 7 jumped across songs, raised & lowered my volume like a nut. I'll try this with my 8x as well, but being based on wp7, wp8 should act the same.
So I'm 95% sure windows phone supports next song, previous song, pause/play, accept/refuse call, increase/lower volume.
The question here is if the windows phone command parameters match the ones with the headset you want. Example: an iPhone's headset has different locations for microphone/left- /right sound on the jack, than other manufacturers. Specifications may vary.

Headphones designed for iPhone/iPod should work on the 8X.
Play /pause , next track/ previous track, mic and voice commands all work.
However, FF/RW and volume control do not.
Disclaimer: I tested it with my headphones, the Sennheiser IE8i. It might/ might not work for you. I heard of problems with iPhone headphones on Nokia WP, where some headphones worked and others did not.

I have found that sometimes, if I play a video (like YouTube mobile website) and then try to play music, the music is almost completely inaudible at any volume level. A reboot solves this. I have noticed this on 2 different 8X devices, and also on a Lumia 920. It appears to be a problem with WP8 itself. Can you all try to reproduce this? Play some music. Play a video. Play more music. Repeat.
So I ordered the GoGroove Bluegate Bluetooth Receiver from Amazon the other day and my package was delivered today! Woohoo!
I got everything set up in my room and was very impressed. I'm no audiophile, but I noticed no difference in quality between the Headphone jack and BT audio.
So out to my truck I went, got it all wired up the way I like, and started playing some tunes.
On Batakang 1.00 and using DoubleTwist, the volume was WAY TOO LOUD. It was also pretty distorted. So I made sure the stereo, BT volume, and media volume were all at the lowest settings to no avail. Still incredibly loud.
Is this phone just loud as hell? I know the external speaker is louder than most other phones. Is it software or hardware? Is there any way I can force the volume down? (Side note, I miss the expandable volume controls after pressing the rocker in CM9/CM10)
Any help is appreciated!
Use Audio Concert Pro from the play store and it should give you everything you need.
Cheers

It sounds like something in your setup is causing it to bypass the volume settings and just play at max volume. I use my phone all the time for bluetooth audio on 2 blackberry bluetooth gateways (home stereo and office stereo) and a sony bluetooth audio car stereo and I am able to control the volume just fine from both the phone and the stereos.

I think I figured it out. I installed "music volume EQ" from Play and I adjusted all bands to -15 db. This surprisingly made all volumes much more acceptable. I noticed media volume over 8 used to sound the same, like it was maxed out, but it seems much more granular now, and lower volumes are more "normal".
I suggest this fix for anyone who is unhappy with any volumes.

I know this topic is way old, but I know what the problem is. I unlocked and flashed cm10.1, and while the bluetooth takes a few seconds to lock on, it now is at a reasonable volume, the BT volume slider changes volume, and it never jumps to 100% after connection. The Motorola BT drivers must be wonky. Anyway, that's it! Moto screwed up.

Hi,
So first of all I hope I am posting in the right forum! And that the issue has not been addressed already (I couldn't find it via search...)! If I'm wrong on any of these please excuse me
So here's my issue:
I bought a Philips 49PUS7272, which runs on Android TV. I works like a charm, but as most TVs, the speakers are kinda ****ty.
It's an issue for me, as I plan to use it as my main media center, for movies/TV but also music from google play music/youtube...
So I plugged my amplified speakers to it via the 3.5 jack output (my speakers only have RCA or jack input).
It works, but in order to adjust the volume I have to go through the Settings>Sound>Headphone Volume, if I adjust the volume directly with the remote, it only has effect on the TV speaker but none on the jack output
So it is quite annoying to go through about 10 clicks before modifying the volume.
I checked and I have the possibility to disable the TV speakers completely in the settings, so at least they do not annoy me anymore, but still I would like to be able to control the volume on the speakers directly through the volume buttons on the remote...
Anyone has an idea ?
Thanks a lot !
Edit: I don't know and couldn't find what processor is on this TV ...
Hello! I need some help. It seems that my Tanix TX3 Mini-H Android box device turns off audio output when sound volume is low. If I watch a movie and audio dynamic range is high (some scenes are too low volume, you can barely hear them) on low volume parts the sound cuts off with a distinctive click sound. It comes on as soon as the volume gets a bit higher with the same click (crackle, pop) sound, like the audio output is turned back on. In some scenes sound goes on and off for a few times and all you can hear is that clicking, crackling noise. If audio stream in a movie is normalized (low dynamic range, i guess) everything sounds ok. There is no desync or anything. Device has s905w chip, Android Nougat 7.1.2 and is hooked up to a FullHD TV with a HDMI cable and nothing else. I tried different cables and different HDMI inputs on TV, still the same. Changed around audio options (PCM, HDMI Raw, SPDIF Raw) - always the same. Only thing that helps is to amplify the volume of a video in Kodi. I can clearly hear this issue in Android menu, when I am selecting app icons. Before and after every "select sound" (sound Android makes when i select icon with a remote) I can hear that same click. It's like the device turns on it's audio output, plays the sound, then turns it off. At least that's what I think it's happening. First i thought it was the tv but I have an IPTV box hooked up on HDMI for a quite some time now and it never made such a problem. Can I do something to fix this?
