Question Pixel 7 Pro, speakerphone volume control? - Google Pixel 7 Pro

When I switch a call over to the speaker, the volume is extremely loud. The volume slider(s) do nothing! I see the standard slider which can be moved up and down (but does not make any changes to volume), and there is a secondary slider to its left which is faded out and cannot be moved.
1) What is the purpose of this secondary, non-functional slider?
2) How can I gain control of speakerphone volume?

I have the opposite problem. I think the speakers are too soft. Sometimes hard to hear video and music without headphones even on max. Voice calls are ok, but would prefer them a bit louder like I had on other phones.

The way I can adjust speaker volume during a call is by pressing the rocker, then the 3 dots which brings up Sound and vibration menu. There is a menu for call volume which adjusts speaker volume and in-ear volume.

1) I believe that slider is a slider for an Accessibility feature called Switch Access. I had to activate this feature to get my Google Assistant mic-open notification sound to work. I only saw this secondary slider when I set Switch Access up. I never saw it faded out....

2) It seems your slider is not set to call/speaker volume, but ring & notification or media volume. I sometimes get this, but not consistently. You should do as schmeggy929 says and have to specifically set it in the sounds settings menu (3 dots gets you there). Hopefully this bug is addressed...

I found an answer on another site and it worked for me. In the phone app, hit the 3 dots at the top right, go into phone settings, down to "General" then to "Accessibility". Toggle the "hearing aids" on and off......that worked for me.
Hope this helps someone.

Voice Call Volume Control Issue

When I'm on a call (regular headset or speaker phone) and I press the volume buttons on the left of the phone, the display shows volume being changed up and down. But the actual call volume remains the same which is always loud.
The volume control buttons work for everything else (ringtone volume, Youtube, music, etc.), but just don't change the volume during calls. If there's a way to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Volume for calls/notification link together?

Is there anyway to link them together? I sometimes want the volume to be quieter but not off (eg when getting late and room-mate is sleeping).
It's kind of irritating that I have to go into settings and adjust 2 volumes independently
I missed the option of having ringer volume and notification volume linked together too.
On my old DX2 there was a check box to link them.
I bought some NFC tags and set them to various volumes (+ WIFI/bluetooth/etc) home/work/night that way.
No tapping around and adjusting volumes.

Is there a way to make all notification sounds (ringtone, text, etc) same volume?

so basically when i use up/down keys on the side of the phone to lower ringtone volume, it ONLY lowers ringtone volume, i literally have to adjust everything else in the drop down menu up at the top. its very annoying.
any way to make it so that when i press up/down in the volume buttons everything else goes up and down in volume and not just the ringtone??
i looked in settings and couldn't find squat.

Ringer muted. Can't unmute

The other day I adjusted my volumes all to around 80% via the sound and notifications options. A couple of days ago, I noticed that my ringer is muted (the bell shows a diagonal line through it with the volume slider all the way to the left). If I tap on the ringer icon, nothing happens. If I try to slide the volume slider with my finger, it does not react. If I try to adjust it using the volume buttons, nothing happens. The other two volume sliders - alarms and media - work fine. I have DND turned off. I can't figure out why I can't turn my ringer back on. Anybody have any ideas?
Notification slider maybe ?

Above the power button you have a slide button.
It has 3 modes
Top- mute all, no vibrate
Middle- mute sound and vibrate only
Bottom - regular, all sound and vibrations. (this is where u want to have it if you want sound)
Thank You Whizeguy

Got it. Thank you so much. Really thankful.
I'm having the same problem but my slider won't work but I can't unmute my phone
I was having the same problem and didn't know it until I went to a web site that sends an sms. I had to restart the phone to turn ringtones back on.

Thank you so much, I totally forgot about that switch and was getting very frustrated till I read this response.
Thank you so much! I too was having trouble with mine and had not idea what was meant by the slider bar until you said it was above the on/off switch. Much appreciated!
BL
OnePlus7pro ringer muted.
You've got to be kidding lol
I've been walking around for 3 days without my ringer working and it was just the slide button!
Good grief, i must be dumber than a box of rocks?
Shout out to the guy that took the time to answer our dumb question.

Oneplus 6 Pie update Volume Control

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
Michael
