Has anybody heard of a mod that would both lower the minimum volume while allowing a sufficiently high max volume. Either having the steps between have a greater effect, or having more steps? I can use Viper to lower the minimum volume sufficiently, but then the max volume is not enough. I've tried the mixer_paths.xml mods, but that just increased the volume all around.

Thanks

There is nothing like this, since you are asking for a mod which will dynamically adjust the gain. Current solution is only a fixed value on the volume gain - e.g. if you use higher gain, you'll get louder volume all around, if you use a lower one, you'll get the opposite.

I'm on Kangy8 and I don't know if this issue is related to all ICS roms.
So when I adjust the media volume while listening to music I basically get this more or less:
- |..|..|..|..|..|..|......|.........| +
where some of the steps seem to be mapped to more than one volume level.
What the ... I don't even get it.
I want something like this:
- |..|..|..|..|..|..|..|..|..|..|..| +
I also don't understand the Voodoo Control Plus audio settings.
Current amplifier is a negative number. Why? So what I understand is, that it's amplifying the current volume?
I saw that CodenameAndroid comes with a 30 step volume addon but as far as I know this will conflict with voodoo sound.
I don't have that volume issue in the stock ROM on my i9023, possibly a kangy bug.
The amplifier level is simple and useful once you understand it. I'll give you some background first and some general numbers.
dB (decibel) is a unit, in an audio sense, which measures the pressure of sound waves. It is a logarithmic scale and requires a reference level to compare to. Basics with audio decibel values:
1dB : Threshold of noticing a volume change
3dB : A little louder
6dB : Double the sound pressure
10dB : We perceive sound approximately twice as loud
Now that's out of the way; the analog control tells the amplifier inside the phone how much it should amplify the sound. Using 0dB as a reference, which is generally the loudest it goes safely, how much less (in dB) would you like it to amplify. If you want it to halve the perceived volume, you'll drop it down to -10dB (effectively half as loud as full blast). The reason why you would want to do this is generally if there is excessive noise generated by the amp, lowering the amplifying power and raising the software volume will give you the same volume and power, but lower additional noise as the amp is working below it's limit. Higher quality DACs of course can reach their max amp capabilities and add no noticeable noise to the earphones/speakers, of course.
Hope that made sense
The lowest volume setting when using headphones is just slightly too loud for me. I am using Vsonic VSD5S headphones which have an impedance of 45 Ohm. Is there anyway to lower the minimum volume? If possible, I would like to avoid rooting or installing any apps.
Unfortunately, there's not a way without root or installing apps, maybe the next OTA will solve the issue.
You have to root the device to do anything about it.
Have you tried going into the settings of the supplied music player to see if you could alter the audio settings.
Most music apps have preamp of replay gain settings to help this some what, but so far I found all of them suffer from terrible snr at low volume (aside from stock music player). I get around this with an external amp like the fiio e5 which had it's own volume control.
With power amp alpha you can also change the volume steps to 100, that may allow you to go lower than the default volume step can
When I listen to music in a quiet room, even on the lowest volume it's way too loud (using earphones). I know there are tweaks to boost the volume above the hardware default, but is it possible to do the opposite?
What I've tried:
- Increasing the number of steps on the volume slider but the lowest volume is still the same.
- "Fine Volume App" - didn't work either
Any ideas?
I'm running Resurrection Remix on 6.0.1.
Thanks!

Read the thread on manually boosting the volume, it states exactly what changed, just lower those settings and test, rebooting each time

Thanks for the response.
Doesn't this only change the maximum possible volume though, not the lowest possible volume?

I'm pretty sure it's like a multiplier... if you change it from 90 to 84 the total volume will lower over the entire range, at least that is what I thought.
The notification slider definitely needs fine volume control. By default it only has 7 steps (8 if you include zero) so notifications can still be quite loud and not discreet at all even on step 1.
Apparently with root this is something that can be adjusted?
How can I increase the number of volume levels?
Is it possible to increase the number of steps in the volume control? I'd like a finer grained control over the volume level. I have a Galaxy Nexus. Note: I don't want to boost the volume just cha...

There are a few too many options there to transport them all into a post.
You may also want to search in Magisk, since you need that to override the build.prop in Android 11 anyway.
Hi. I am on linageos 18.1 with root
Is it generally possible to reduce the lowest volume of the loudspeakers even further?
Maybe with a tool or. is it possible to change the lowest setpoint in the rom?
