Volume Control Apk

I can just agree. I just had a really terrible zoom meeting, where one person was very quiet or her sound was not adjusted properly/wrong sound input chosen, and i constantly had to change the volume if she said something. Otherwise I could have chosen between ignoring here or hearing the others screaming.
Absolutely agreed, since 5.0.3 was released, we have been really struggling to do our weekly music show in Zoom, and it has interfered with our professional meetings. An audio mixer, or some sort of audio control interface would be a huge hit, and is urgently needed.
New to Poweramp.
Can someone please explain (in layman's terms), what the options in the screenshots mean? The reason I'm asking is because I noticed that the volume from my Bluetooth earbuds seems to be a bit on the low side (although, probably loud enough for most people). A user elsewhere told me to try toggling "Direct Volume Control" on and off.
The first screenshot is with my earbuds turned off and the second screenshot is with my earbuds turned on. I'm not sure why Poweramp is saying that DVC is available when my earbuds are turned off, but not available when they're turned on. And also, why the toggle for "Enable Direct Volume Control" is enabled if It's not available.
Again, my primary reason for investigating this settings section is because I wanted to increase my earbud volume which seems to be accomplished if move the "No DVC Headroom Gain" slider all the way to the right. But this settings section says not to do so if DVC is off, but I don't even know if It's on or off. I dunno, this settings section seems very confusing to me and I'm more or less guessing here.
DVC stands for "direct volume control". It's an android-specific option. When activated Poweramp transfers its output directly to the DAC ( digital analog converter ), thereby bypassing android's equalizer, sound effects and volume control. The volume setting is in this case done by multiplying the desired volume to the music inside Poweramp.That's the reason for the name DVC.
Reduce Headroom Gain is only needed if you have DVC turned off (in which case Android is handling more of the audio processing). If you leave no extra gain spare, and then you also increased the EQ controls, you could push the internal volume levels beyond the maximum possible as thus cause distortion. Hence the Headroom Gain, which reduced the volume a bit before applying EQ controls. If you don't boost any EQ or Tone settings at all, you can leave the Headroom setting off which will give you more overall volume.

DVC is enabled by default and I haven't tweaked the EQ settings. So.... I should be able to increase the Headroom Gain all the way to the right (to 100%) without distortion? I do notice that when DVC is enabled and I slide that bar all the way to the right, the volume increases.
And when DVC is disabled I can also slide the Headroom Gain all the way to the right (to 100%) without distortion? It's only when I disable DVC and tweak the EQ that I need the -6.0dB gain?
Then there's "No DVC for Bluetooth Absolute Volume" "Disable DVC for Bluetooth when Absolute Volume/Media Volume Sync is detected (or always, if status is unknown.) Really, I wish the developers would figure out a better way to explain these options, because It's hella confusing to someone who isn't an audio buff. My needs are basic. I just wanna hear my music as loud as It'll go without major distortion. Don't cuck my maximum volume by default if It's not needed and in this case it wasn't needed (based on what you're saying and via my testing). Normally I'd uninstall an application for much less than this. If PA is concerned that adjusting the EQ is going to cause distortion with DVC off and no extra gain spare, then just drop a disclaimer on the EQ that users can see when adjusting. And really, if someone is experienced/knowledgeable enough to know to go into the audio settings and manually disable DVC AND manually increase the headroom gain, they likely already know that this will/could cause distortion issues should they mess with the EQ.
If you don't boost any EQ/tone settings, you should be fairly safe in disabling any extra headroom settings - and anyway, if you can't actually hear any distortion then realistically it doesn't matter to you anyway and you've got the volume that is more important to you.
Hi... I started using a DAC with volume controls going direct to a power amplifier and did not like the sound quality. I was running between -20 to -40db and noticed the bit reduction was impacting (greatly) the sound quality.However, every DAC and power amplifier combination may offer different results so I suggest you test these combinations yourself.
I switched DAC's and the noticed a slightly improved sound quality but not where it needs to be. As a result, I am researching a preamp/DAC.
While it has added benefit of one point volume control (your end BT device), it makes signal processing on phone side less viable, as almost all tracks out there are already using all available dynamic range. So there is no headroom to increase basses and otherwise do signal processing which increases signal amplitudes.
If you don't use Equalizer/Tone or use them moderately you'll be good with no-dvc and the default settings (-6dB headroom by default) or even with no headroom (0dB - so no default decrease of volume). This is fine for e.g. car headunit with own tone controls and DSP.
For headsets, if you're going to use Bass tone or substantial equalization (>6dB) I recommend disabling Absolute volume control (Media sync on Samsungs @Android 8-9). In this case full dynamic range is available to Poweramp with DVC On, and no need for extra headroom, but you'll get 2 points of volume control (phone and end BT device).
Just upgraded to iOS 13 last night. Now, the volume control indicator keeps popping up randomly no matter what I'm doing. It appears on the screen for a second, disappears, and a minute later does the same thing, whether I'm placing a call or looking at my messages. Is this happening to anyone else? Any thoughts on a fix? One thing I have noticed is that it doesn't seem to do it while I'm actually on a call.
Do you have a Bluetooth headset connected? That seems to be my issue. Every time you do something on the screen which the iPhone would make any sort of noise for - eg. starting charging, new email or any other notification - I'm guessing it connects the Bluetooth to play the sound - which then pops up the volume slider for some reason... Very annoying.
Hi. Yes, I've determined that it is the volume of my Bluetooth headset that keeps popping up whenever I do anything on my iPhone 7, even if it doesn't involve sound. Yes, very annoying and neither Apple or Poly (my headset manufacturer) have any solutions. Started happening with iOS 13.
As the OP I have to say that for whatever reason the problem has decreased and now the volume bar only pops up every once in a while while I have my headset connected. Have no idea. It did happen once on my wife's iPhone 7 when I was playing around with a Tile so I think it is any Bluetooth device.
I have the same question. It happens only on iOS with the Voyager Legend BT That I have. Other BT devices like the Sony or other Plantronics models do not present this problem. Very annoying with the volume level indicator showing up at random times
I had an issue similar to this but it was more than just the volume popping up. I could actually watch my volume go to zero after it popped up. I would then use the buttons to turn the volume back up but it would repeat itself about every 10 seconds. And even worse, it would randomly call whatever the last number in my call log was. The random calls happened 3 times in a 10 minute span. Extremely frustrating when 911 was the last number I had called.
I started having this problem over the last 24 hours so I tried thinking back to anything I did in that time frame including Bluetooth devices and app installs. The only thing I could come up with was an expensive set of Bluetooth headphones I had paired at the office the day prior. Even though I was 50 miles away from the headphones I decided to go into the profile and delete (forget) it. Low and behold, my phone immediately stopped the volume pop-up and changes and no more random phone calls. I've had zero issues since.
I have the same issue with my Soundcore Motion+, but only when controlling the volume via:
(1) The volume control buttons on the Soundcore
(2) My Andriod phone (Independent of the app I use to play music).
So, the device is capable of a much more granular control.
Unfortunately not from (1) or (2).
Hopefully this can be fixed (Soundcore engineers?), because it is quite annoying on a for the rest very nice bluetooth speaker.
Edit: I have Absolute Volume Disabled on my Android. That means I can control the volume by my phone and also on the device, but like I said I just leave the device on maximum and turn the phones volume up or down.
I installed ubuntu on my new asus zenbook3 ux390. Nearly everything works fine except the volume controls don't work. The volume is either on or off. I can adjust volume in specific apps or websites (like youtube) successfully, but the internal volume control either wants to be muted or at 100%.
Did you try xfce4-volumed? It's in the AUR and you can try to configure the default channel as shown here
Still, I am in no way sure it will work, it does with Alsa in my system and apparently does so with PA in Xubuntu so maybe worth trying it.
