Hi guys. I'm wondering if anyone can do a basic check of what their Pixel phone speakers are putting out in Decibels?
Mine doesn't seem very loud. And when I turn it down onlg 2 presses, it seems so very quiet.
Anyway, with volume on full and playing music and using a sound test app, I'm getting a max of 82db. As seen in the attachment.
Just want to confirm what other's may be getting?
???

I've got a problem with my Omnia 7. Inexplicably, plugging in headphones causes the speaker volume to be boosted substantially after the headphones are unplugged, with no change in the actual software volume level. I'm not sure whether this is a software problem or what (it certainly wasn't fixed in Mango, at least). Rebooting the phone is the only way I've been able to fix it (ie, reduce the volume to what it was originally).
I've heard of people complaining about the loudness and lack of volume variation in the Omnia, but I'm not sure if this is linked to that somehow.
If someone can test this out it would be great, if only so I can get my phone replaced if it's specific to my device. Just reboot your phone, and observe the loudness of the lock/unlock sounds before and after headphones are inserted and removed. It doesn't need to be tested on the Omnia 7 specifically, though - if it's a software issue it's likely to be present on other devices as well.
TLDR; all speaker sounds, whether that be from music, games, system sounds, etc, are louder after I use earphones, even if the volume number is the same. Rebooting it fixes it. If anyone with any device could test this it would be a great help.
Does no one else have this issue? I would appreciate it if one of the many Samsung Omnia 7 owners could test it, at least.
I just tested it and I dont see any change or boost in volume on my SO7.. does your music auto stop playing when you pull out your headphones?
Maybe I explained it incorrectly, here's a video of it:

I sounds louder in reality, but hopefully you can see the increase. Thanks for testing it, though
But yes, the music does stop playing when I remove the earphones. The increase isn't limited to music - it affects all sounds.
I tested it again after seeing your video.. mine remains the same, no increase like in your device..
Infact after watching your video I think the first sound is miffed... after you plug in the earphone and out than the sound it makes is the original sound/volume..
Hi guys!
It's well known that Microsoft increased the volume of the speakers with the new update.
But I noticed a pretty annoying problem:
If you set the volume to a low value and watch a movie for example and there's f.e. only a conversation ongoing the speakers turn off when they "think" that they don't have to play anything and don't turn on again quick enough (hard to describe ^^).
The outcome is that it just sounds weird and you have to turn up the volume to make them stay on.
Did anyone else notice that and possibly know how to fix that?

same for me. The only fix where found jet is volume up
Hello fellas.
So i bought S8+ few days ago, and i gotta ask. What the heck is wrong with music volume on headphones ?
I feel like on last 2 steps volume phone turns on like a pop music filter which cuts some details from the sound making it worse.
It's like on the 3rd from the top everything seems ok, and when u turn up by one it's just don't feel the same.
And then when u turn volume down by one from 2 to top to 3 to top u hear like slight 20ms delay in sound, like a some kind of filter disengages, and everything is back to normal.
On the sound settings everything is turned off.
Do u know something about this ?
Which app was playing the music?
Is the default app? Have you tried other apps like Youtube or Spotify?
I use Spotify but this effect is global (tested on samsung player and YT)
Maybe it's the headphones
No, it isn't headphones. Tested on 3 sets. I'll just try get jack-jack cable and record it on pc.
EDIT: Solved be enabling "disable absolute volume" in developer options.
I tested whether I'm not just deaf with my previous phone and it turns out that said phone gives almost a deafening sound through my earphones when the volume is set to max.
On my ZenFone 6 however, I need to set the volume to the max in order to get a proper volume. Apps I've experiencing this issue with are iBroadcast, Podcast Republic and YouTube (vanced).
Especially on podcast republic. Even when the volume is at its max, it barely gives enough sound.
I can't find any sound settings that could solve this issue.
To clarify I'm referring to the sound going through my earphones. My phone is not rooted, nor is the bootloader unlocked.
Hope someone could shed some light on this.
Volume has been excessively low several times even though all the way up. At first I thought it was adaptive sound, but turning off had no effect. Only restarting corrects it. 3 times I've had to restart to have my volumes increase.
Hmm...the only volume issue I'm aware of from a couple of reviews is that the maxed out volume isn't loud enuff. I haven't taken the time to look into it (with my new (free) Pixel Buds A) but I'd think google wouldfix it soon But ur issue is different...are u running any audio mods like viper's etc.?
if you are on A13 Beta, It's known issue..
I have reported same..
