I'm looking to get move volume options on my rooted Captivate 2.2.
Right now the system sounds are too loud for me....even after replacing the selection sounds...still too loud. The volume levels are stock 1-7...I want lower sound than the current lowest of 1.....Is there any way?.
I enjoy the feedback of sounds ...but the current sound level 1 is just too high
Thanks
Jim

You can barely hear level 1. Do you live in a library or what?
assonance 5.2
I think he is talking about when he plugs in headphones into his Captivate. I agree with him, it's way too loud. And I haven't found a way to make it softer either.
On my Captivate level 1 is still too loud for the system "click" sound...I like it more subtle. My HTC Aria gives me much more control over the system sounds and I just want to get the same on the captivate.

I too am annoyed by the system sounds...the "clicking" when navigating through the menus. I like the feedback and setting the volume low for the system sound works great for me (I don't normally use headphones). The problem is, every so often, the volume gets turned back up. Why is it doing this? And how do I get it to "stick". I haven't really found a rhyme or reason -- I can reboot and the volume will still be set how I had it....other times I can just turn the screen on and the volume will be turned back up.
Ghosts?
I believe if you dial *#*#197328640#*#* it gets you into a menu where #5 is audio. It's possible you can mess around in there and adjust the volume levels
why not just turn the system volume down and leave the others at regular volume high ?
External Speaker to loud
Does anyone know of a mod or adjustment to decrease the external speaker volume? On the lowest setting it’s loud. I like to listen to slacker at night before going to sleep. I have the Galaxy 4G with the following:
[ROM][ODIN] Stock DEODEXED KD1 [Root][EDT][5.4.2011]
[KERNEL] Bali [VoodooSnd / BLN / BFQ / no OC] "Extended Battery Life" [5/24/2011]
Thank you
Get voodoo control. You can adjust the speakers volume through that.
Thank you for the fast reply. Voodoo control will control the speaker on the phone? I don't mean the head phones the speaker on the back.
Yes it definitely will. I increased my volume over the limit on the speaker atm.
Where's the speaker ATM setting? I have voodoo control plus 1.0.7.3 I don't see that option? Thank you
I just changed the volume limit. That should work. If it doesn't I dunno what to tell you.
OK thank you for trying. Maybe someone else has an answer. Just to be clear one more time. I'm talking about the speaker on the phone not any headphones. When I listen to the phone speaker it's to loud on the lowest setting. I would like to adjust the volume to a lower level. I don't see that option in voodoo sound only for the Headphone amplifier.
Voodoo works. On home screen long press the home screen, choose shortcut, choose voodoo. That will let you adjust the volume. The more -DB will decrease your volume. Hope that helps
Oops sorry. That's only for headphones =P

Does no one have an answer for my request? Thank you
I don't want to point out what might be obvious but when I use the speakerphone for calls and music alike (both from external speaker on back of phone) I just start the call or song and then use the volume rocker on the side of the phone. Does this help?

Thank you for pointing out the obvious , but no that doesn't help. Ok using the volume rocker on the side the external speaker on back of phone is too loud on the lowest setting when playing music at night. Example when playing slacker I use the volume rocker on the side of the phone this is adjusting media volume. The question " Is there a way to adjust the gain to a lower value on the lowest setting so the volume is lower?" One of the developers should know a way to adjust the gain in maybe the kernel or somewhere?

Let me answer your question since it appears you need a straight forward response.
NO there is nothing to change the external speaker volume.
Additionally,.... TOO LOUD? The put some cloth on the speaker, put it on a pillow, do something to muffle the sound, but please, you have your answer... now let it die.
The op came here with a problem and was looking for a legitimate answer. Please don't get curt with posters because you think that their question isn't worth your time. I find that muffling the sound of the phone with a pillow to be unacceptable. Hopefully the op finds the answer that he needs before people like you tarnish the reason why open forums are here.

If there's a way to control alsa that may be the way to go .

Thank you I'm glad someone supports what I have to say and not be rude about it. I hope that someone could come up with a fix. I'll be patiently waiting an answer fingers crossed. Oh by the way the pillow does work but it's not a fix I like. Thank you everyone!

Bro you must have the hearing of a f'n bat cause even with the back speaker all the way up its still not loud to me. But I would say I have selective hearing( only hear what you want when you want and tune the other BS out). As for getting a lower volume try elixir app in the market it gives you 1 or 2 more options on volume. I would try turning system and music down once you have the app. Hope this helps

Thank you GDofWR420 for introducing me to the Elixir App. Unfortunately it didn’t resolve my issue. I guess my speaker is extra loud or something. Anyways under music “which is the same as media volume” it has 1/15 on settings 1 being the lowest with a percentage of 7% percent. It would be nice to change that to maybe 3%. This must be hard coded somewhere in a file. This app will not set it to a lower value. I also downloaded SamServMode went through all the options and still no change. It’s a pretty cool app to change system settings. Thank you so much GDofWR420 for trying.

Ok, I don't know if anybody else has noticed this, but for some reason when using any music app that has a equalizer function, when you max out the loudness it slowly lowers the volume back to a predetermined level.
if you wish to recreate this, follow these steps.
1.download poweramp trial or the equalizer app.
2. after installing, play some music. Make sure that your volume level is maxed.
3. while the track playing, if using poweramp, go to the preamp and raise the left slider all the way up. You will hear the volume raise, and it should gradually lower back to the way it was before you raised the slider.
If you are using the equalizer app, go to the custom level screen and click maximum level for all the sliders. The same effect will happen as with poweramp.
4. For further proof, after putting it at the maximum boost that you can, lower it back to the normal levels. The volume will be very low, and then slowly raise back the max that it was before.
This basically makes the equalizers useless. I'm wondering why HTC added this feature, because its very annoying...
Bump?

When i try to change the volume when I am playing this game it doesn't just change the media volume. If I try to turn up the volume while my phone is in vibrate mode, it will switch my phone into silent and into the loud volume (just as if I were at the homescreen trying to change the volume). Once it turns to the loud volume, THEN it will start adjusting the media volume instead of my phone's volume.
So basically, I can't change the volume within the app unless my phone is in silent / vibrate. It will change those settings to take it out of silent / vibrate before adjusting media volume.
Anyone know a fix for this, or is anyone else seeing the same problem?
Edit: The developers have just emailed me back and here is what they said --
Dear Anthony,
I'm sorry but the current function about the sound, in app volume and device's media volume is not co-working, is specification needed in some devices. Thus we can't remove it now. It is still possible that we'll change the function in the future, but we can't guarantee it. Anyway thanks for indicating the point of improvement. I hope you'll contact us again if there're any good ideas or issues.
Sincerely,
KEMCO_GAMES

Well let's hope that they decide to fix it soon then!

Hello,
Isn't there a sound when we adjust the volume of the tablet with the buttons?
I think there is, and I cannot listen to it..while all notifications work fine (new email etc, alarm etc) and tablet isn't at mute mode..
What is wrong?
I never had a beep sound when I adjusted the volume on my TF700t. Maybe there is a way to change this in the settings. Otherwise find an app for it.

Funny. I also thought there is, but now I tried it and there is no sound. Maybe you confuse it with your phone (just as I apparently did).
I am(..probably was) above 55% sure that there is a sound :/
I've installed audio manager and as I was using the levels there(increasing them) --after each try I used the volume buttons to check for the sound--, I heared the sound..but now nothing again
That's weird
And yes I am sure I have one at my phone but I think(/thought ) there was one at my tablet, as well..
