Hey guys, i'm looking for an app (or even built in functionality) which switches audio profiles dependent on what is plugged in the phone. Case in point, I have my ringer at max volume usually (noisy surroundings) but sometimes when I plug in my headphones to listen to music I forget to switch the ringer and when someone calls I get deafened. Very very annoying (yes my own fault but still), I was wondering if there's a way for the phone to switch profiles based on the fact that headphones are plugged in. Thanks!

I was just having the same issue as you, and i installed this. Works perfect so far with FroYo on N1..
the problem here, I plug 3.5mm jack into two things... car stereo and my headphones. car stereo requires 100% volume where headphones need only 20% max.
I simply installed Quick Profiles and added few profiles, out of which these control the volume: "Sound - Vibrate", "Sound - Headphones", "Sound - Full".
Takes care of the problem, and is easy to use.
Are there any Equalizer apps that allow you to save multiple custom profiles?
I use my phone for music... A LOT. I've got 3 different ways I run audio through the headphone jack.
1: Klipsch Image S4 in ears
2: Bowers & Wilkins P5 headphones
3: aux cord in my car
Each one sounds different and requires different EQ settings to sound correct, and changing the EQ settings manually when I switch from headphones to IEM's for jogging to my car is a PITA.

I'm surprised nobody has a faced similar quest.
I do find that PlayerPro allows multiple presets, but Volume+, DSP Manager, Equalizer, don't seem to allow more that one custom profile.
So i have been using my Tone+'s for a while now and love them.
as soon as i upgraded my G-nex to 4.4 i had rediculously loud volume over BT. thought it was just a big in the build.
get my N5 yesterday, and i am having the same issues. i know the headset controls the volume now, but at its lowest setting, it is still pretty loud (louder than i would like)
am i the only one that has this problem? just curious
i have tried wired headphones and they are normal, i also tried a Jabra clipper BT headphone set and it was also normal.
how do 2 LG products not play perfectly together is beyond me.
Having the same issue here. For now, I'm using an equalizer and just lowering all the frequency bands to -13dB. Hopefully this gets fixed soon...
Same issues here. It's very frustrating as I also bought a wireless charging bad so I could be completely wireless at work.
It is Kit Kat issue on all devices that use the default Google Bluedroid Bluetooth stack, meaning Nexus devices and Google Play versions (other devices running a modified stack may not be affected).
Supposedly, it is an extension to Bluetooth AVRCP 1.3 that enables Bluetooth audio devices to directly control Android's system volume. It seems some genius thought two independent volume levels (headphone volume and handset bluetooth level) was too confusing for folks. Clearly they did not think about (or test) that some Bluetooth audio devices with their own volume controls might default to a very high or low level, and control of only the handset's bluetooth level would not provide sufficient range of adjustment.
So once again we have Goofle googing up bluetooth in Android. Please share your disappointment in the following threads so that we might see a fix ASAP. Guessing they are facing law suits for hearing damage if it is not addressed quickly.

I own the Tone (700) and tone+ and only the Tone+ have this issue. No issue when connected Bluetooth to my car to listen to music too

Does your older tone and car support a avrcp 1.3?
In my car, it's just the opposite. I now have to turn the level on the phone to max to hear anything. Before 4.4 I could leave it halfway.
I have used tone+ on my s4 and n5. Both are often too loud. I have always had to adjust the headset volume, handset volume and then the equalizer in poweramp to get things just right. I love them for music but if I get a call it is always way too loud.

I am unsure what what is to be honest. But if it has to do with showing the songs/artist etc on the screen, then yes it does that. Does it with my S2, N5 and will do it with an iPhone (work). Car is a Honda 2012
The issue with the Tone + is that it powers up at medium volume level, and when connected to an audio source, Android 4.4 now maps the volume control on the Tone to system volume.
As a work around I have found that, after powering up the Tone +, if you press the front most volume rocker repeatedly until you hear the low pitch tone you can lower the volume. Then when you connect to your audio source it is not so loud.
I hope Google fixes this soon, but I have low expectations based on other Bluetooth issues of the past.
Have you tried changing the sound type on the Tone+? (Holding down both volume buttons at the same time) I know if I have it on normal, high base or high treble they all have different volumes. This may help.
I mainly listen to podcasts, so I always set the EQ profile to the 3rd one (treble up).
It looks like 4.4.1 update fixed the battle between headset volume and handset volume. I'm a happy LG owner!
I was surprised that a phone advertised for its stereo speakers does not come with an option to adjust L/R balance. My old Samsung and HTC all do.
I would rather not go the Viper4 route since L/R balance is the only option I need from Viper4 and don't want to root just for this. Also I thought Viper4 is for phones with mono-speaker but Oneplus7Pro has stereo speakers so surely audio L/R should be adjustable at higher level?
Some music apps do come with its own L/R balance adjustments but no streaming services does AFAIK (Netflix and Spotify don't). Also no video playing app does either.
Also me
Are you trying to adjust the balance of the built in speakers? If so, it's not going to work since they are different strength drivers and have different frequency ranges
I have mild to mod hearing loss. I have hearing aids but there are cases where wearing them is not possible or desirable, a key one being when using NC headphones. So to compensate I have searched high & low for an Equalizer app or any other audio amplification category type app that can boost on-board/streaming volume by frequency. Basically it "should" be as simple as an Equalizer app that has the abiity to boost up to say 30-40dB (or more) but the highest I've ever seen is 18dB. Most apps only run 6-10 band to max 10 or 15dB. Even Neutralizer that appears to sort of fit this need can only boost to 10!
There seems to be an abundance of apps that target hearing impaired but they are either hearing aid paired apps & just control the aides or they try to substitute for aides & amplify ambient sound - ie amplify microphone input. One of these Petralex goes to 30dB, which makes me think it is technically possible.
So bottom line is I have to wonder if it is technically just not possible; Android doesn't allow that level/power of amplification or is that there is just not enough perceived need for something along these lines. I could see it as an add for the headphone makes but again - eg: Sony MX headphones companion app has an Eq but only boost to 10dB - meant for taste not hearing loss.
I have a DEV background but have worked in sys admin for 10+ years now - IF it is possible I may entertain the idea of giving it a shot myself even if only for my own use.
