Good morning all, I had a question ocncerning the ring/notification volume on my MAXX HD. Right now the lowest volume setting is extraordinarily high, way way too high for an office setting or even anywhere besides outside on a runway. The highest setting is nearly painful. Is this some sort of weird bug on my phone or are others noticing this as well? Can someone possibly recommend a solution without a third party app? Or at least a functional 3rd party app?
Thanks,
MF

Android is very poor at managing various volume levels. I use and suggest AudioManager. Its free, the paid version lets you save presets...very useful.
This topic has been brought up before somewhere here on the boards. It's the phone, not just you.
The issue is that the volume button only deals with the ring tone and vibrate. You need to change the notification sounds under settings then sounds

Even then it's loud on the lowest setting. Especially in a quiet room or at night.

I have the same issue. I guess it is the phone. Maybe the JB update coming soon will fix this Here's hoping...
I'm going to try the AudioManager app suggested by dreamliner.
I confirm jb solve this issue.

Good to know. AudioManager doesn't really fix the problem.

Just got just Nexus S 4G today, and have experienced during all calls a staticy buzzing sound when the person in the other end is speaking. The best way to explain it is , it sounds as if there is gain on their voices are the louder points.
I so don't want to exchange, but curious if any One else has seen this.. or heard this.
I'm going to mess with voodoo sound tomorrow to see if it helps any. I'm rooted with netarch's kernel, but it was happening before this.
Thanks!

I'm on the European Version of the Nexus S - I9023 and I'm getting that too... I want to think that it's not the phone itself but I don't know... This buzzing only happens if the volume is over 50% and sometimes even at lower volume levels...
Does anybody know what this might be? Is it a software issue where, for example, the pitch on the calls is to loud and maybe te Voodoo sound would fix it, or is it definitely a hardware issue?

I spoke today with a guy that fixes phones for a living and he told me that the issue is the filter from the earpiece. The phone might've suffered a bump at the store when the people there handled it and that messed with the filter. He said that I can take it to the Samsung service to get it fixed or I can leave it like this... He said it doesn't get worst in time if the issue doesn't get resolved...
Hi,
Just converted to android from iphone.
When listening to music via earphones, im noticing the volume isnt that loud even when ive turned it up to the max (15).
Ive seen other posts explaining how to get into service mode and amend some volume settings, but this only applies to in call volume. Im looking to increase the volume when listening to music.
The current volume is def too low.
Bump.. Need help!
Using sennheiser cx180, getting amazing sound quality
any fix for this yet? really annoying!
bump
that makes two of us now. please someone nut this out
Bump. Same problem
Same problem here.
And another one here with same problem.
When I increase "Media volume" it only increases volume until it gets to about 50% on the bar, after that nothing happens when I continue to raise it to a full bar.
Bump same problem here, up full its about 3/4 the volume of my iPhone, its fine in quiet environments but and ambient noise at all and you hear it over this. Its just one of the many frustrations of this phone when it comes to music. Seriously thinking about eBaying it,
Cyanogen and MIUI teams are looking into porting their ROMs to the Galaxy S 2. That should fix everything
Hey guys is there a fix for this yet?? I am running lite'ning Rom and even before this the volume from music through the headset is so so low!!! In ambiant places like the bus or walking through the city u can forget talking to anyone or listening to music!!!
Is there anything that can boost it??? On my old iphone when i jailbreaked it i got an app that mad it very loud that i could not put it On full lol... Pls guys if anything please reply!!!! :-(
Anyone with any solotion to this please??? its the only real fault with the phone

Had the same problem...
Hey, I had the same problem with my unlocked Galaxy S II, The volume would not go up even at 15, same level of sound on all numbers. All I did was reboot it and now it works fine. you should try it too
seriously this is the phone that is apparently the 'best of 2011', yet it has such a huge glaring bug like this? To shock new buyers who were told this phone was great?
This is a dealbreaker. Volume on a phone matters. Why hasn't a solution been offered, or rather why is this such a concealed ill-discussed problem?
I don't think it's quite a bug or Samsung's fault. I've been using original Ipod earbuds from the Apple Store and they work like a charm. But when I try to use some sony headset, the sound is all noisy and it's quality sucks. I think that there may be a problem like drivers or something on how the signial is sent to the terminal.

BUMP!!
Same problem here, what is going on here??
I shouldn't have to root and mod my phone to be able to hear a call on the street or to listen to music. Which isn't a solution anyway.
WTF??
had anybody contacted samsung support?
Still nobody knows what is wrong?
My other media players, computers, hifis all play at ok volumes, so the problem is with the phone..
Any input appreciated

Can try this by SuperCurio. VoodooLOUDER is for SGSIIs but it is paid* and also Root.
*From Market Description
Only after its fully confirmed by a wizard that the application will work on your device, you're allowed to purchase it.
Simple answer: it's a commercial app accessible via a free compatibility detection.

Think right now that is about all that you will get w/o hardware hacks or something directly from Samsung.
I use Voodoo Control App on my GS1 with a Voodoo kernel and it works like a charm.
Voodoo + PowerAmp + Bose in-ears = Pure Sonic Enjoyment.
There are from what i know a few fixes for this (i think)
If you are running Cyanogenmod7.1 you have the DSP Equalizer that helps to boost the volume of your device.
Ive heard of a App on the market Called Volume plus (never used it but from searching on the internet ive heard of this)
And then if you are using Power Amp you can have full control of adjusting volume through the settings in the music player
Does anyone know where the M8 pulls the low battery sound from? With my last phone, I was able to disable this sound by deleting LowBattery.ogg in \system\media\audio\ui but that is not working here. i.e. the file is there, but that's not the one it's using. I've tried searching for other areas where custom ui sounds could be located, but I haven't hit the jackpot.

I did not. However, now that I've had the phone a while and don't tinker constantly with settings, running the battery down that far is quite rare for me. I guess it's not an issue for me anymore, but it would still be nice to disable it.

Hi everyone!
I'm noticing after some days that there's a strange sound coming out from the right speaker, the part wich is in the right side of the tablet.. It mostly happens (and it's louder) after a tap on the screen, when touching something makes a *click* of the system ui... I always have the brightness at a more or less 65%, and the sound set to more than 50%, don't know how much exactly.. , And it happens more frequently when wifi is on. The problem is that the sound continues even when the screen is off, and there's no music playing...
Please, can sombody go to place without noises and check if that happens also to you? Just to know if this is a fault of my device or if it happens to everyone
Thanks!!
Nobody has this issue?? I've tested it again today and I can still hear that sound
I have it too and many other people as well. I have seen a thread about it few days ago on Official Shield Tablet Board...

Thanks! So it looks like a normal sound from the SoC... Is there anyway to make it sound less? I think it could broke the speaker, by being constantly "in use", without stoping..
May I ask you what firmware version you are using (did you update via OTA to 1.2.1)?

Yep, I think the tablet was in 1.1, and I received the 1.2.1 a week ago, so I updated it...
Same thing is happening to mine and it's on the latest firmware

Could anyone possibly running a custom ROM confirm if this still happens? If not maybe it could mean that it can be software issue (just hoping)

On mine the sound disappears when I turn off the screen and when I am on home screen not doing anything for few seconds I can hear that speakers do turn off... But I am on software 1.0 (didn't update because no problems other than that)
So this may be software related...

Hello! I never had a problem with my Google Pixel until now.
I downloaded and installed the official Android 8.0 update for my Pixel. As soon as it booted, I did what I normally do and I opened up my audiobooks player to play my 4 hour long MP3 that I listen to. I noticed immediately that the audio was stuttering and crackling, like the way a very old PC would do when you had too many things running while you tried to listen to music.
It is not a bluetooth issue because it happens with wired headphones and even with the internal speaker. It does it whether or not my phone is rooted (does not make a difference). I do not have a lot of apps installed. Again, this did not happen at all on Android N.
The issue is not just with my audio book player app. While it does not happen in Youtube, it also happens if I try to play a video in a web browser. The same horrible audio lagging/stuttering.
I did not see anyone complain about this, so I am at a loss for what it could possibly be. Anyone with any pointers I would greatly appreciate them! It is driving me crazy!
It happens to me too, I have to clear all apps from the background and reboot. Then the audio go back to normal.

It goes back to normal for me after a reboot but it comes right back after not too much time. Why did Google officially release Oreo with this kind of issue?

I had it on nougat also, but it happens a lot more frequently on Oreo.
Has anyone found a fix?
It is some sort of weird RAM issue. I downloaded a RAM cleaner, and even though I have lots of free RAM, cleaning the RAM fixes it (until it eventually comes back). What is going on?

I heard it's hardware. No one else is having these issues. Do an RMA and be done with it.

Where did you hear this? And if it's a hardware issue why isn't it there in Android Nougat?
How did you "hear it's a hardware issue" but never heard of anyone else having this problem? Don't those statements contradict each other?

I just got the issue after updating, never had it before. It doesn't happen often and a reboot fixes it every time. Which leads me to believe it's software.

Yeah, you're probably right. I'm beginning to think that perhaps an app that's installed is conflicting with either ram usage or the audio drivers. Unfortunately, in order to find out what it is, a clean system would be needed at this point. No apps installed, test out the audio. If it works then you're in for a long day adding each app one at a time. If it still doesn't work I'd try another set of headphones, although that seems ludicrous. Lastly, since you're rooted you can go back to N if it's that important to you and report the heck out of it to Google. Good luck guys.
Not that it matters to you that much, but I listen to the headphones every day, Spotify, Pandora, Sports Gold and not a single issue on any of them. Bluetooth is another story, but wired static is rare. Search Google issues see if you come up with anything.

I have no issues with streaming services which is probably why you don't have the issue. It only happens to me in audio playing from a web browser or local audio files.
