Nexus 6p / stock and not rooted 6.0.1
I got the app, started using it but afterwards the volume for everything was boosted to +100% making the lowest volume setting equal or higher than the former maximum my phone was capable of.
Podcasts are distorted slightly but enough to make me go without in most cases. Nevermind that the volume is loud even at the lowest possible setting.
Actions I have taken:
Turn off volume boost
Lower volume in mx player
Uninstall
Reinstall
Other odd items
When adjusting volume with physical buttons the slider jumps down or up seeming to account for the expanded 30 step volume but never reaches the original minimum.
While adjusting volume on my Bluetooth headset the media volume adjusts as well in increments of 5, it did not do this previously.
Hoping for a swift resolution as my phone is completely useless for listening to music or podcasts while this persists. Any ideas are welcome.
Unpaired my bt headphones, LG 730, and re-paired. No effect, everything from OP still present.
My Bluetooth stereo on my car is not effected, volume works normally.
Hmm, I would try enabling the system volume panel in options, then adjusting the volume with that enabled, so that MX explicitly changes the system volume as well, see if that will reset anything.

I have Droid Charge/Infinity
Also, have VoodooControls Plus. By Supercurio.
Here's best I can do description of the issue:
1. turn Tunewiki or Pandora on
2. plug in aux cable to connect to stereo
3. press volume button up
4. 2 green slides show on the screen - one for device volume and one, at the bottom, for analog volume, which is Voodoo volume.
5. both show 100% volume. actual output volume is quite low
6. stream music for about 25 minutes (that's what I found after weeks of observing it). during this time, you can press volume button up, volume does not change. as in it does not get louder
7. after 25 or so minutes, press volume button up
8. at this point, 2 green volume gauges on the screen will show: upper, device volume, at full; lower, analog, or Voodoo volume, will be at 75%. this happens by itself, without actually lowering volume with the phone volume button
9. press phone volume button up, and it will go back to 100% on analog, except that this time, it will be really loud.
normally, because of this, I start streaming with car stereo set to 21 on volume. after 25 minutes, I have to turn it down to about 13, so much difference it makes.
can't explain it any better. what it is, is like as if volume voodoo amplifications starts at "choked" level, without being brought to full power, and then, after about 25 minutes, it goes full throttle, loud, good bass, very powerful. been like this ever I installed your pgm, which is about what - 2 mths or so? Had it reinstalled few times too, when I changed ROMs on the phone. it's the same problem regardless of ROM.

As usual, no ETA
Anyone knows, how to fix that lag? It's extremely annoying and distracting, as I use it only when streaming music driving.
Is it possible to make the volume rocker *only* control the media volume? I keep my phone on vibrate, so I never need to change the ringer volume, but I find myself accidentally adjusting it fairly often when I want to change the media volume. I'm running rooted stock 4.1.1, and I do not want any widget solutions. Is there anything I can do?
I thought media volume was only able to be adjusted while media is playing and through the sounds section in settings. Only time notification volume gets adjusted is when media isn't playing.
I have a problem with the volume of the sound, what happens is when I use my headphones the gap between sound volume when I press the volume buttons is too high.
When it's low it's fine but as soon as I press the sound key to make it higher it gets very high.
The solution would be to have between these two levels of sound a level I could also select.
I could do that with Volume++ it could add a different scale for my volume, the thing is it's not functioning right on the JB.
Do you know any app that could do just that, change the volume scale and add more options when you change the volume? I don't want a volume booster or equalizer though.
Cheers
When i use my BT headphone and try to adjust the volume, the player shows the changed volume, but in the system it doesn't change and it remains the same. To be more accurate, it works for the first time in every session, but only can change 1-4 on it (depends on how fast i swipe). It happens both if i change the volume with the swipe gesture and if i try it with the volume buttons on the phone. In this case i only can change the volume with the buttons on my headphone.
Hi all
I saw an earlier thread on this but can't believe that it's not a bug that needs fixed.
My phone has no apps open, I unlock it and press the volume buttons and up pops a little window showing me that I am adjusting the media volume. This functionality used to be context sensitive, ie, in this case it would adjust the ringer, in a call it would adjust the call volume and when playing media it would adjust the media volume.
Now it's just the media volume and a few screen actions to adjust the ringer.
Surely this is a backwards step and a bug?
Does anyone know of a way to change this, or an app that can be associated with the volume controls to make it work properly?
Thanks
Michael
I don't know that there's a way to revert it to a previous Android way of handling it as it's the way Google built Pie's volume control to work.
FWIW, they did it for the millions out there who don't ever want to change the volume for their ringer/notifications once they get it set, especially if they start adjusting volume for something like a call before the context has kicked in, so you inadvertently adjust ringer volume instead of in-call volume. At least, that's what I assume it is because that's what happened with me. I have set my phone to vibrate as soon as it's out of the box, and with the new way of handling volume, I no longer have to deal with changing it off of that setting until I reset the phone. I love it.

Thanks for the reply, and the explanation Seamonkey. I have to say though I still don't get why they didn't just make this a user selectable option. Pick the default volume to adjust or leave it as context sensitive.
For some of us the phone is still a device for phone calls first and everything else second!
All the best
