Very annoying when using a speaker with its own volume. Because of course I want to have phone loud for optimal signal, and set the volume at the end of the chain instead of amplifying weak signal.
Thanks for the warning I guess??

I don’t have this anymore, using CalyxOS.

This and the “Are you still listening” pause EVERY OTHER SONG on my playlist is just so helpful. Helpful, that is, if the intent is to give me a fucking aneurysm.

Like that stupid ass notificstion ‘internet disabled for this appliation. Go to settings to re enable it. Press ok to continue’. I know, i’m the one who disabled it in the first place, get lost.

This warnings gets so annoying on iOS. It’s as if Apple doesn’t understand that AUX and high impedance headphones are a thing and need to be put in max volume to even be audible. At least there’s a way to disable it in Settings
sploosh@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
If you have high impedance headphones and you’re not using a headphone preamp you’re not getting everything you paid for out of those cans.

meanwhile i wish mine would still warn me. sometimes i pop in my IEMs and then press play, and my phone is like “you were full volume with the bluetooth speaker, does this mean… you want the IEMs full blast, too?”
urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 1 day ago
your phone doesnt change it back when you disconnect Bluetooth? that’s harsh.
Kichae@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
Mine warn me only when it’s purposeful. As you say, if I change output devices, and the sound is too loud, it says nothing. It literally only interferes with me doing something I’m purposefully choosing to do, and failing to protect me from shit I’m doing accidentally.
realitista@lemm.ee 1 day ago
This is the real issue. The same volume is totally different on different devices. If they want to implement this feature correctly they need to measure the actual output of the headphones.

Emerald@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
It’s a Samsung “feature”. If you turn the volume up high enough, it warns you about hearing loss. Even if what you are listening to is super quiet so you have to turn it up to hear, and even if you are connected to a speaker.

FireRetardant@lemmy.world 1 day ago
This makes me irrationally angry. I don’t need my phone babysitting my ears and the notification doesn’t happen nearly frequently enough to matter anyway. It can be a distraction, especially while driving, i always think i need to pull over to answer a call but nope, just a half assed hearing protection measure.
Does anyone know of any apps or ways to disable the feature on android?

There’s an app for that: github.com/zacharee/Tweaker
You’ll need to use adb to grant special permissions that an app can’t request on its own.

Ideally disable all the nanny features and block forced updates. If I fucking want an update, I will prompt it myself.
ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 1 day ago
Every device that does this can only reach lower levels of volume than most of the ones that don’t (PCs, Walkmans…)
It’s like that “save electricity, unplug charger” popup that I only ever saw on phones with switching power supplies, whose zero-load power is several orders of magnitude less than the heavy transformer ones. Or the constantly-moving 🔇 icon on LCD TVs, although it takes many days of a static picture to burn them in as opposed to CRTs and OLED ones.

I have never once seen this message I’m my adult life, using Pixel phones since the pixel 1.
Although I do try to be respectful of my ears since I have fairly loud tinnitus already so maybe I just don’t listen to music loud enough to trigger the message.

Mine just caps sound to a maximum safe level by default,
I can go in the settings to disable this but why would i?
Hearing damage is no joke, and as a music lover it’s one of my worst fears.
pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 1 day ago
If you’re connected to a device that has independent volume management, then you can max out the phone volume and still have it be too quiet.
I most often run into this with my speaker setup in my workout room if I forget to turn up the volume on the receiver before hopping on the treadmill.
But, the other reason to not go too high is the audio can start degrading if the volume is too high on your phone.
SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 1 day ago
Your dependent upon the recording you’re listening to having been set to a decent volume to begin with. I will occasionally come across videos or music with significantly quieter sound than usual. I know what a good volume for my need at the moment is, while this warning is a dumb automatic pop-up based solely upon the single factor of the master device volume control setting - without any consideration for the actual decibels being output.
exu@feditown.com 1 day ago
If you have your own music collection, I can really recommend normalising everything to a LUFS value of your choosing. (A common value is -14 LUFS for most streaming services Source)
Note there are two types of normalising, dynamic and linear. Linear is what you want as it’ll only move the average loudness to your target, preserving the difference between the quietest and loudest parts. Dynamic normalization squashes the quietest and loudest parts into a narrower range.
webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 1 day ago
For some reason i stopped having this problem ever since i started caring about audio quality and started to collect flacs only.
Technically official music can have differences but the only times i ever recall it being problematically different is If it from yucktube.
cmhe@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I have a USB-C to audio jack adapter/sound card, which doesn’t provide enough amplification for my headphones at “normal” levels, so I have to raise it beyond what android considers “save” in order to even hear voices enough to understand them, if the environment around me is a bit noisy itself. At maximum level it is still not really loud.
MutilationWave@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I just learned about the setting in this post and I’m happy to have it. My work truck doesn’t have Bluetooth so I have a really shitty Bluetooth to radio converter. It’s often way too quiet.

limelight79@lemm.ee 10 hours ago
I agree with the concern you’re raising, but most of the time I ran into it, I was using bluetooth to a radio that had its own volume control. The phone was just reacting to the volume setting, not listening and knowing it was too loud.
I haven’t seen that happen in a long time, though. I saw elsewhere in the thread there was a way to disable it, so I might have done that, but I don’t recall seeing it at all on the newer Samsung S24 I got early this year.

I’ve been listening well above recommend levels for years, I’ve done work operating industrial machinery and my hearing tested among the best for my age. Just use hearing protection, and don’t go nuts on the volume.

Not the same by the sound of it, my hearing is exceptional for my age and career path.
Sorry to hear your hearing has deteriorated to such a degree, I hope you’re able to tune it out/sleep through it.

my phone at 80% vol is fairly quiet with my earbuds.
I’ve also noticed that this warning’s timing is quite random.
I always listen to music on my commutes and they’ve been the same commute for 2 years and Ive only seen this warning like four or five times completely out of the blue.

dingus@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Weird! I’m on Android 14 and I can blast the volume as loud as I want without any sort of notification. All it does is the volume slider turns red when it goes beyond like 80% or something, but it doesn’t say anything to me about it. I have a Samsung phone. My last phone was a Motorola phone and I don’t recall it nagging me either.

thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 1 day ago
yeah lol, I’m often plugging in slightly high impedance headphones that it just can’t drive very well. it’s never seemed worth it run run a dac or get a special pair of phone headphones. i rarely use it that way anyway.
but yeah, pretty much every time i plug them in i have to confirm i want to hurt myself before it will allow them to be set to a useable volume.
and yes, i do still have a headphone jack, they are still out there if you’re willing to not get a super expensive phone.
unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 1 day ago
I held on to the 3.5mm jack for so long but i just could resist the fairphone anymore. I need my replaceable battery and ports and stuff. Changing a screen or usbc port in less than 10 minutes is just a gamechanger if anything ever breaks.
jbk@discuss.tchncs.de 1 day ago
maybe it’s just not possible with the current (probably ancient to not break older devices) protocols
unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 1 day ago
Nah its just analog signals, no protocol. There is no way for a phone to be aware of what analog audio device its connected to.
