    iPhones will do this even when you’re connected to an external device. Like I’m using you as a source, I want high signal-to-noise ratio, not constant nannying nonsense

      Tell the iPhone that the output isn’t headphones and it’ll stop warning you. Plug it in, then head to Settings -> Sound and Haptics -> Headphone Safety -> USB Audio Accessories.

        Mint, thank you! It stops doing it for a while, then decided it needs to warn you every time god a while, and so on. It’ll be great not to have that!

        Way too deep (as usual in todays world).
        Just yesterday I was wrangling my phone because my passwort manager stopped showing inline overlays for passwords.

    On my old-ass Samsung, you cannot turn down the volume while that message is shown. So when your phone is in a pocket and you increase the volume but don’t notice that the message appeared, you cannot save your ears when the next song actually is much louder.

    I like this warning. Many young people already suffer from hearing loss due to excessive volume. But I cannot understand why they don’t measure how loud the song actually is right now. I have many songs in my library that just are not mixed as loud, or start quietly and then ramp up. Why do I get the ‘your music is too loud’ message for those?

      The phone manufacturer can only guess how loud it actually is to your ears. Every pair of headphones outputs at a different volume, and more expensive ones tend to be quieter for reasons I forget.

        Because expensive headphones tend to have drivers with higher impedance, meaning they produce less volume at the same current versus a lower impedance set.

      While at it, they could also add option to decrease minimum volume. Often it’s too loud, at least for me. One dumb phone I planned to use as MP3 player has this same issue.

      Actually, I feel like it’s most phones. Thankfully the music app I use has equalizer to tune it down.
      Hell, even many separate music players. Only stuff with analog volume control is basically always OK.

    Yes. I flippin HATE that “feature”. I own you. You do what I tell you!

    source
    • starman2112@sh.itjust.works ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I would like this feature, if there was any customizability. Let me set my own limit, and let me change it per device (headphones should have limits, speakers shouldn’t)

      • Nindelofocho@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Usually there is! Though I think itd should be togglable from the alert on every device

      Their manufacturers think they do own us.

        I’m pretty sure the EU mandated this feature.

        Precisely why I use as open hardware as I can, which isn’t much in the world of phones : (

      What? I can’t hear you. Try speaking up a little.

    Is this a Samsung thing? My S9+ used to do this all the time and it annoyed the fuck out of me, never had it happen on my Pixel

    source
    • Chee_Koala@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      All three of my pixels had it. Maybe it’s a region thing?

      • Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        at least the EU mandates the warning

    Mine will just turn it down in the middle of a song, I don’t need your bullshit samsung. I plug it into the car and control the volume from there so every once in a while I have to turn it back up because fuck me I guess.

    What in the Android 11 is this

    • als@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      yep, android 11. my phone is fine but the manufacturer no longer updates the software so I’m left with this. No lineage OS either :/

      Yeah, same here.

    Should be a way to tell ur phone that you already have a loss of hearing and that’s why you need it to stop reminding you

    source
  • 2fm@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Aaaaaand even after having played through a few tunes before randomly deciding it’s time to warn you about a loud limit, while limiting the volume.

    Why does this look like an ancient android version?

    source
  • Treczoks@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I had to design a volume-limiting system for one of our devices that uses headphones. We know that the users turn the volume up to unhealthy levels - more often than not because their hearing is already damaged from listening for years or decades to systems that had no limitation. They are still able to turn the volume up with the (analog) amplifier, but we measure the signal, and if it exceeds the legal limit, we scale it down digitally.
