I've noticed that sometimes the max volume of the ringer isn't what is normally the max volume.
I think there is something on the phone that is altering the volume, then when you exit that app, the phone thinks that the lower volume is now the maximum volume.
For example,
I boot the phone and volume is ok.
I run the FM radio, and lower the volume.
I then turn off the radio, and return the phone to max volume.
The max volume is now nowhere near where it used to be, and doesn't go back to normal until I do a reboot of the phone.
I'm not suggesting it is the radio doing this, its just an example, I need to try all my apps to see what might be doing it.
Anyone else experienced this? Maybe its an easy fix, or am doing something wrong myself.
Edited to add:
This is something to do with the radio. Phone on max volume, plugged in the headphones and launched the radio. Lowered the volume using the rocker. Unplugged the headphones and went back to the home screen. Tried increasing the volume and already as max, but much lower than it was before launching the radio.
I had a similar experience last week, the volume on the notifications was so low I could barely hear it sitting at my desk with the phone in front of me. But I rebooted and never saw the issue again. I do use the radio, so maybe it's related.
i to have knoticed this, ive turned the volume down for something then its also turned the ringtone volume down
I mailed support about it.
Also managed to crash the phone just by maxing out the ringer, plugging in the headphones, then lowering the ringer. The volume adjustment window just stayed on screen and didnt respond to pressing the rocker, even though I could see the sound profile widget changing in the background to vibrate and silent when i reached those points. Removing the headphones didnt do anything, with headphone icon still showing in notifcations bar.
Tried to reboot, but wouldn't even respond to that. Had to remove battery.
I have also experienced this issue. Being one of those who had the DHD from 18th October, I have noticed that the audio volume does indeed get affected when using the FM radio or the HTC Music app. Also Vplayer app caused this issue as well as actually 'crashing' my audio all together - sometimes after using Vplayer I had no audio at all unil I restarted.
I now solely use Car Tunes app for my audio and have had no problems at all. Also using Quick settings with everything turned up to Max I think the audio isnt too bad. Previously I thought there was a serious issue with audio, but Im starting to think it maybe just down to specific apps - I now use CoPilot also and have to turn the volume down as it so loud (in another thread I noted that SatNav was unusable because of not being able to hear anything)
Got a response from HTC, although it reads like a default 'do a hard reset' reply, which I'm not happy about doing.
What the hell is this problem now? Will problems about DHD not end one day?
I've had this problem once.. and come to think of it, it happened when I just got the phone, and I did use fm radio just to play around with it.. not another bug surely?

Also got this issue. Dont even need to lower the volume during radio playing. Just on/off radio and the main volume is "set" low. Quotes because the volume control didnt changed...
Reboot is working but its not the best solution :/
I'm having a similar problem.
Yesterday i putted my volume to zero while i was eating with my mom.
After increased it to max, the sound while typing an sms is very low.
Rebooting doesn't help, all volume settings are set to max, but the sms sound while typing is lower then it was before.
The tricks in this topic also couldn't solve the problem.
Sorry for my bad English
I know of this issue. Dolby/srs has been enabled on your phone. It should disable when you unplug your headphones but for done reason it doesn't always disable. It can be disabled manually but can't for the life of me remember the menu path for this.

i got the same problem today, had to put rockplayer into mute (lowest media volume) but then somehow (after several hours till i noticed) , notifications (sms,emails) went mute too
anyone found a solution to this yet ? cos this is annoying tbh
Why don't you use tasker to automatically set the volume to max after exiting said music applications? Should work as a short term fix anyway.
This issue happened with me as well. I set the volume to max when playing angry birds but noticed it was nowhere near as loud as i remember it being before. Rebooted the phone and fixed. This is a strange issue. I wonder when HTC will roll out a fix.
Hi All,
I had kind of a similar problem, i noticed that the keypad tones was very low and the screen lock 'click' was almost silent. However, sound settings were at Max.
I downloaded Quick Settings from Android Market and found that System Volume was at 2 of 7. I increased this to 7 of 7 and all is ok now.
Maybe this will work for some.

I had this before the 1.28 update, I read somewhere it was to do with the beats sound profiles but it was resolved for me with 1.28. Try turning beats off and see if it continues.

I also had a the crackling sound issue. Whenever I turned the volume up or down I got the crackling sound after the volume slider (on screen) disappeared. I had an equalizer app installed and when I disabled the crackling sound issue disappeared? This phone has a lot of issues and I'm beginning to regret having retired my HD2 :-(

EQ apps don't work to well, I got dpsmanager working without issue (check sig) but you need to flash it in cwm or trying to edit the EQ FC.

So an app you downloaded causes a problem and you blame the phone?
Can you try something?
Mute volume and open twitter or Facebook. Pull the screen down in order to refresh and stick the speaker to your ear. Do you hear that crackling sound?
Hey I used to have this issue too... was really effed up at times it would crackle away like a peanut in the fire after a message tone.
I turned off "quiet ring on pickup" and "pocket mode" in the audio settings.
Then restarted the phone. One of the two caused issues I guess. Neither I see as a feature I must have so that was that.. no more crack!
haha can i suggest something
if the phone is laid down on some surface, raise the phone and try again
if the speaker is covered it makes crazy sounds, guess because of micro holes
ok so the fiss i got through me head phones annoyed me so i turned of beats just used DPS manager and the hiss is almost gone, can't be heard on songs with "quite" bits and only just hearable when volume is right up.
beats seems to make the hiss a lot worse.
Had this once. Restarted and it was gone

First post btw xd
I had this issue. Do any of you have Volume+ installed? I had the 'volume level' set to +20 for the speaker within the app, and upon turning this off it seems to have stopped the popping.
i had this problem for about a day or so.
make sure in the sound settings, that any music effects are turned off, and when you turn on your phone, that no headphones are plugged in. then, when the phone is on, plug in headphones / use any dsp or music effects. for some reason i would get snap / crackles etc. if the headphones were in when i started the phone.
hope that helps!

I have the same problem, but with HTC Desire X and I don't know how to fix this. Problem occurs when screen goes off. I have the latest officialy JB update 4.1.1...Two times I reset the phone to factory settings, tried with clean system without any other installed apps, but audio pop/click/drop/jump randomly occurs and listening music is irritating... I contacted HTC support but no answer... HTC Wildfire, which I had, played music without problem...
The problem lies with beats...beats adjusts sound settings throughout the system, so when there is an extra sound, it cannot be converted to beats mode and so causes these weird sounds..try playing a game while listening to music with beats on, you'll get my point...one solution is to turn off volume completely (put it to silent) before starting music playback...hope that helps

Alright, I hope I'm not tripping, but I'm pretty sure alarm volume (at max) is significantly lower than ringtone volume (also at max).
I'm playing the exact same tune, when I select it as a ringtone, it blows my ears away. When I select it as an alarm it's just... softer... a lot softer. Throwing all of the sound through the bottom speaker but nothing at all through the top speaker. Sounds like a problem to me.
I definitely would like my alarm to be louder so... any suggestion?

It is. And the clowns at HTC told me it is "intended that way". Fawking douchebags. 3rd party alarm apps make no difference either.
Hmm, very strange. My alarm is loud as hell and will tear me out of bed. This is stock clock app with a mp3 as the alarm tone. Definitely loud enough on my end.

Same here my alarm is set at 1/4 volume. It is way too loud even at half volume.
This happens because during notifications, only the bottom speaker is on, at least on my AT&T unlocked version. A coworker who has t-mobile version says that both speakers are working during notifications on his phone. I think it's a bug..
Premise: I know I just opened another topic (but this is a completely different question) and that there are several articles (and potential "fixes") around on XDA and elsewhere, but I see people having the following issues and others not (especially in reviews)
Hi everyone,
I have a simple question: is Mi Max Prime suffering from low sound volume (i.e. below the average)? if yes, is that probleme so severe that - for example - you may not hear the alarm clock or a phone call in speaker mode?
I know there are a couple of fixes around but I also saw many people not solving the issue with those.
Thank you in advance

I would have to test and right now is night here. What sound? music? tone volume?
There is people that with earphones say is too low, but i can't turn up the volume, is too much strong for me.

Thanks again for your answer.
I'd say, testing any alarm (default one should work) and a pop song music (at your choice).
Here too is night. Feel free to do it when you have a moment
I'm a good guy to ask. Quite deaf, use my phone for an alarm clock. I can hear people when they "force" their voice in close proximity, otherwise break out the pen and paper if I don't have fresh hearing aid batteries.
Alarm clock (alarmy) scares me so bad I try to beat my rise time just to turn it off. Loud, oh hell yea, it's loud.
Talking on the phone I can just make out sounds, without my hearing aids. That's says good things about the phone, because normally I get nothing.
You can always root and edit the mixer_paths in system_ect. Done it many times on my Samsung phones, but as I say, no need (for me) on the Max.
Just got a Mi Max a few days ago, the ring volume I will call it just enough, The only issue is when I hear music with headphone and turn on the Mi Sound effect then the volume will drop a lot, I need to turn off the effect and re-plug the headphone to resume the volume.
The volume has gotten better since Miui 8 and it's good on my RR ROM. YouTube is hit or miss depending on the video you watch. A lot of videos are uploaded with low sound and some with louder sound. Everything else seems okay to me although nothing compares to the sheer loudness of the speakers on my Nexus 6P.
All right once again I have ran into an issue I had can't find any solutions for on the internet. I don't know if anybody has experienced this before I have a very strange issue where if I set a timer the moment the timer goes off my phone just reboots every single time. I am rooted with magisk and I'm on the stock 8.1 ROM. If anybody has experienced this issue or has any guidance or even found any sources talking about it please let me know
Thanks!

Yep, having the same problem on stock, unrooted. Now that I know it's not just me I will contact razer to see if they know about this problem.
Should mention that this has only happened once for me so far, so not sure if it's the same issue as you have. But a log would be useful, to see if it's caused by you having magisk or something.
Which app are you guys setting the timer with? Using Google clock app my timer just goes off after the allotted time. I'm on stock 8.1, rooted with Magisk v17
Peace.

I used the stock Clock app myself, haven't really tried any others. I've been trying to reproduce it ever since, without much luck - so maybe it was just a one time thing. Strange that it happened to the both of us though.

I was also using the stock Clock app
However i downloaded the google clock app and yes it works perfectly I dont know what razer dod to their version to do this but anyway im fine with using google clock app instead, thanks! That at least fixes one of my problems. Now to fix my reminders not working lol
What causes this is the timer volume being 100%, even 99% will make this stop.
This happened to me, on stock unrooted I went into safeode and Uninstalled the app. If you can't uninstall it disable it.
I know what the issue is.

Okay, long story short, this exact thing happened with my Note 4, and my Note Pro 12.2. I know why it's happening.
The device is producing too loud of a sound.
I had ViPER4AndroidFX installed on both of them, and I had increased the output of the sound to the max via software.
This can't be a coincidence. So my conclusion is that if your Android device tries to output an extremely loud sound, it'll just shut itself off and/or reboot.
For example, I watch a dank meme earrape video that produces and extremely loud, dog whistle type sound, all of a sudden and in a single instance, it'll force a panic reboot.
The solution? Don't have an abnormally loud sound as an alarm or ringtone. Loud, high pitched sounds causes devices to do a panic reboot.
Default alarm sound is a high pitched, loud noise, and the meme I watched also was a loud noise.
There's no fix really. You found lower your overall sound output with Viper or not use extremely high pitched noises to prevent it, but that's all I can conclusively say.
Hope this helps.

Im aware of what your saying, but I'm just saying how can the problem be the volume and not the app when I left the volume max and changed the app and the new app with the exact same volume does not replicate the problem with the same max high pitched
volume?
