Hi All,
Volume Media Control allows you to control the media volume instead of ringer volume when you press the volume buttons.
This app aims to fix an annoying issue with Android where volume controls act differently depending on if media is being played or not. For example, when you are using Netflix, the volume control should adjust media volume and not the ringer volume.
Volume Media Control allows you to specify apps for which the volume controls will always result in adjusting media volume and not the ringer volume.
Volume Media Control makes use of accessibility service to control volume button behaviour. No other data is stored or transmitted. Volume Media Control doesn't require any permission and the app is open source and available on Github.

Download from Google Play

The release on play store is paid, if you want a free APK, head over to GitHub releases page or download the APK attached below.
Let me know if you have any suggestions or feedback.

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.
Is there an app that allows you to set the volume control (media volume) by app?
My problem is media volume is turned up for listening through my headphones but when I switch to my CCTV the volume is then at full blast coming out of the phones speakers!!

I have a phone with very customized ROM (Flyme) and I'm trying to find a way to force volume buttons to control Ringtone/Notification volume instead of Media volume.
I know there is a way to perform this, thanks to an Xposed module, but my phone can't be rooted. Can it be done without root and without one of those many volume controlling apps that show a widget or a persistent notification with different profiles? I just need to press hardware buttons to control those volumes.
[If you ask me why I need this is because ROM devs are stupid (at least Flyme devs, but I know Oreo "benefits" from this great feature) and didn't think that Media volume should change only if some Media is playing. If no Media is playing, why someone would need to change Media volume? I thought these are smartphones, not dumbphones and I was expecting to do smart things, like detecting when Media is playing and changing the volume accordingly. I guess I was wrong...]
You can get noyze volume panel that works with accessibility controls, you can fins the app on github or google noyze volume panel (no root required), it has extended panel in options which makes sense for android as even pie has the worse volume controls than kitkat.

Thanks a lot, it works as needed!
I'm getting desperate about the notification volume thing. I'm using volume butler but it's not reliable, especially when switching to DND mode and back. Sometimes my ringtone is very soft while the notifications are really loud.
Looking for a final fix for this, my phone is rooted. Is there some build.prop that can be enabled or a magisk mod?
Hello, you can use Button Mapper here in XDA.
You have the option to use ringtone volume instead of media volume with the + - button.
You can also make applications exceptions. I use that with play music while I use Chromecast.
That's work without root.
Regards.
I used Tasker and set up tasks that sets levels for everything in four different volume conditions... Vibrate, Low, Medium and High. Within each task, I set Alarm Volume, Media Volume, Notification Volume and Ringer Volume. I also created a pop-up to tell me what profile I just set.
Then, I created individual widgets on the screen that are simply shortcuts to the tasks - one for each volume condition. Tasker comes with that widget built in. When I want to change the volume on my phone, I just tap the icon for the volume I want.
It doesn't override DND and it sets the volumes exactly as you want them every time.
Hi guys on oneplus 6 by pressing the buttons on the volume bialnciere and you can only control the volume of the multimedia ... do you know an app that lets you decide whether to control multimedia or even system audio without having to go through the settings?
