What? Is this a volume control limit, then? I thought it was just a parental feature that caps how often they can listen to music on their earbuds (which seems absolutely insane to me), but I guess volume control would make a bit more sense.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 month ago
earbuds are the most damaging type of headphone except maybe bone induction. i would want volume control for me if i would use earbuds (hell no, i use cans. trying out some boners with my bike but they’re a hard maybe).

Of course. It’s another thing to use for pity points.

helps to mitigate a lot of the bullshit people say and drowns out the stupid TV commercials at the gas pumps.

What app is that?
lauha@lemmy.world 1 month ago
That’s not an app. That’s a cat.
QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
it’s my pixel phone settings app, iirc it’s only for the google pixel buds

Like the max volume warning on Android since forever?
Harvey656@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Only ever used android since smartphone were a thing, never saw this once.

I’ve never seen that. Is it a US regulatory thing?
Agent641@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Please drink verification can to increase volume

I have seen this hundred times yet it still makes me chuckle.

What even is this limit? I’ve never seen this before?

Take care of your hearing, people.

AI Assistant: I am sorry, but you headphone volume cannot be turned up unless you get a note from your audiologist. Would you like for me to put on some soothing AI interpretive jazz?

Rock is best loud, who listens to queen on vol level 3
Jomega@lemmy.world 1 month ago
If they were really concerned about me damaging my ears, why not make the maximum volume lower than that?
MartianSands@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
I get really irritated when my phone limits volume with a notification like this, because the phone has no idea what hardware I have playing the sound. They’ve made some unfounded assumption about how loud 80% volume actually is, and interrupt whatever I’m doing to complain about it
autriyo@feddit.org 1 month ago
One of my past phones had that feature, but you had to turn it on. I guess it would be a good function if you always listen via the same hardware. Or maybe per Bluetooth device at least.
MartianSands@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Agreed, perfectly reasonable precaution so long as it’s possible to calibrate it per device
0ops@piefed.zip 1 month ago
I have it now, and as far as I can tell it can’t be turned off. Really annoying when volume level doesn’t sink with the Bluetooth head unit in my car and this feature suddenly halves my volume
Dentzy@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
My current phone has it turned off, so I constantly get notifications about how the high volume could be bad and recommending me to enable the feature… It drives me crazy, I have it at max volume because it is connected to my car’s audio jack and I use the car’s controls to manage the volume…
apex32@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yup! I use an aux cable in my car and then all of a sudden I’m driving in silence. I tried settings and developer settings, but this behavior persists.
FinalRemix@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Mine fucking resets every few months… it just decides I need to re-up the “I understand I’ll go deaf” notification while I’m in the middle of a drive.
CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
And the output from the phone is so quiet even with my phone at Max volume I have to crank my stereo up on order to hear it. Switching input from Aux to anything else without lowering the volume first is what’s going to damage my hearing.
AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
I dont have this problem because i have extremely sensitive hearing but still, seeing my phone say im “listening to 20db” for example, really got me thinking about how the hell would it know that.
boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 month ago
Ios lets you mark a Bluetooth device as a car stereo and it stops doing that. Maybe other device types too. Just make sure it’s not set as headphones.
I’m sure Android has a way out too
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yeah also, they don’t understand that I’m fucking hard of hearing. Yes my audio is loud, that way I can hear it
stupidcasey@lemmy.world 1 month ago
TBF, if you’re doing it properly you should be using any exrarnal audio at line level and amplify it outside your phone to keep all audio devices at a standard level, it prevents some devices from playing too loud and some playing too quiet it also prevents clipping.
MartianSands@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
That’s pure wishful thinking. The vast majority of users wouldn’t even know what line level is, and you can’t expect end users to have audio engineering expertise. You also can’t expect anyone other than an audiophile or actual audio engineer to be able to get alll of their consumer electronics conform to such a standard
CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
Using an Aux cable I have to crank my stereo up to be able to hear it even with my phone set to max volume. It doesn’t have an output level that’s a reasonable volume.
echodot@feddit.uk 1 month ago
I have this issue with my soundbar on my TV. The volume has to be like 95% or it’s too quiet. But if you disconnect the soundbar and just use the TV speakers you get absolutely blasted out of the room by normal speech.
Measuring sound as percentages is meaningless.

This would always happen right at the start of a long motorcycle ride. Suddenly the music stops and all I can hear is the engine. 30 minutes later and stop and investigate and it’s a pop up warning that the audio level is too loud.
