Volume goes down on unplug - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Whenever I unplug anything from the headphone jack the volume goes down once I plug something back in. I want to disable this but the only solution I found when I was searching was to use tasked. Is there another way of doing this?

Which volume goes down when you unplug from the headphone jack (i.e., Settings -> Sound) and how does plugging something back in affect the volume?

The sound for using any music player app. And if you have it at max when you unplug it and plug it back in it lowers the volume to like around 75%. Its very annoying

That's the music player app adjusting volume when it detects your headphones being plugged back in, I figure.
My system volume is at 100% without headphones plugged in, but when I plug them in it goes to 40%, which is where I want it for my headphones so that my ears don't melt and is what I set as volume level within the Neutron Music Player app. Unplugging brings the system volume back to 100% again.

I've tried two music player apps and they both do it. It has to be a system feature but I dont like it because I barely use headphones cause I always use auxiliary cables in my cars

You use AUX to the headphone jack in your car? If so, set the volume after connecting to the car jack and it should restore that setting each time, I'd think.
Likewise, try setting the volume after plugging in a headphone to the same level you desire for your car and that should hopefully be restored across the board.

I've tried that but the phone always defaults back to store and 75% when you go to plug something back in

It's a built in feature of any samsung I've owned. It's a "safety" feature. I haven't run an aosp rom on this device yet, but CM9 on previous devices did not change the volume at all on plug in/plug out. So assume it's a touchwiz thing.

What ROM are you running? I am pretty sure I've seen that setting somewhere on certain ROMs, mainly synergy I think? It is supposed to be to protect your ears so you don't plug in your headphones with volume at 100%.

Im running stock. But im rooted so I was hoping there was a way to get rid of it

Can't find it on synergy, but yeah I have come across it to. It is definitely on cm9. It is in the sound settings "safe headset volume" to be exact. Have not seen it on anything other than aosp.

Turning up the media volume very high with headphones plugged in creates a message that loud volumes can be damaging to hearing, etc. - so, this symptom does appear to be programmed into Touchwiz. It's probably a smart thing, as there have been times I've put on a portable music player with my headphones and forgot that it was most recently playing through my car's AUX input, so the volume was rather high (ouch).
That said, I just tried this free app and it faithfully restored the headphone volume to what I chose after repeated unplugging/plugging events:

App to automatically change volume when headphones are connected

Hello. I'm trying to find an app that will allow me to maintain separate volume settings based on whether I have headphones connected or not.
Basically, when the headphone jack is in use, I want the media volume at 100% (it's actually plugged into my car). When I unplug the headphone jack, I'd like the volume to revert to a much lower setting (around 25%) or to simply return to the setting it was at before I connected the headphone plug.
Does anyone know of an app that can do this?
Thanks
I'm pretty sure Tasker can do this. Great application.
yep

Tasker can do this, it's one of my profiles.
Yep, tasker here as well. It will also pop up a menu with all my audio or video apps when I plug a pair in for me to easily pick.
Kind of pricey, but well worth it. I don't have a link to his site, but it is cheaper there (with a longer trial) than on the market.

[Q] Match notification/ringer and media volume with headphones in

I've no idea where this belongs so I thought I'd go as general as possible.
Is there a way to match my notification/ringer volume with my media volume whenever headphones are plugged in?
I'm constantly deafened when I'm listening to music on low volume and a notification goes off full bore because I've forgot to turn them down. If I remember to turn notifications/ringer down then I tend to forget to turn it back up and l end up with missed calls because I plug the phone into computer speakers to play music and can't hear it ring.
I know the easiest solution to this problem is a good memory but does anyone know of a more reliable option?
Phone details if anyone cares
If it matters I'm using a Telstra HTC one XL (same as the one X on ATT) fully stock, unrooted on 4.0.3. I figured it was more of a general android thing which is why I posted it here. I'd definitely root for a fix but I'd rather not flash a ROM until CM10 or AOKP are almost 100%
Thanks guys!

[Q] Bluetooth Audio Issues

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.

[Q] Bluetooth sound small

Hi, just wondering if anyone know how to make the high bluetooth sound to stick?? Seem to me when it is connected to my car audio, the volume sound is very small.....I have to push the vol up (and it comes with that warning sound) and the volume will play ok. Problem is I have to do this every time it's connected to my car bluetooth. Is there any hack or something that will make it stick by default??? I am already using the sound mod, but to no effect???

I'm not sure if there is a hack for it. It does the same thing to me when plugging in an aux cord or headphones. There may be a hack if you're rooted, but I'm not sure.

I am rooted......so I am really opened to any solution/hack that can keep this option on without the warning or repeating.

Headphone Jack Issues

Anyone else having issues with their headphone jack regularly pausing music? It's not the headphones because they work fine in other devices, and different sets of headphones cause the problem. It's not a Spotify problem because Poweramp causes it too. It doesn't seem to be caused by moving the headphones, because I can wiggle the wires as well as the end of the plug and it doesn't cause it. It seems straight up random and it's driving me crazy.
Not that it'd matter, but stock, unrooted, locker bootloader, Verizon Pixel 128GB.
I think it is the notification system causing audio ducking. Try "vibrate only" for notification/ringtone volume when listening to music on headphones. That's worked for me.

That can't be it because I'm usually always on vibrate or silent, and it still happens on airplane mode with no notifications coming in.
