I use skype daily for business. I can't live without. Ever since the recent Honey Comb update from Dell my volume is full blast while in skype talking to someone using the OEM headset/mic. If I use the regular mic and speaker volume controls go normal.
It is just skype voice communication that this happens. While skype is open I can do other things on my tablet and volume is adjusted to how I set it for device.
Has anyone else experienced this since upgrading? Any solutions?
Thanks
Last time I used it with video, I did not noticed this. Are you using video call or voice call? I will test it tonight and let you know.
Just voice thanks for checking.
ok I tested and confirmed your problem. I cannot change the volume also. It must be a bug. But there's a simple solution. Use a headset with a volume control. I have tested it and a headset with a volume control will allow you to turn down the volume. One drawback is that the preset volume is the Max volume, you cannot increase the volume beyond the preset volume without power amplification. However, the preset volume is more than loud enough, too loud for my hearing.
I hope this helped you and others who may have run into this problem.
Thanks again for confirming. I was at the conclusion of the volume controlled headset as well. Hope they fix it soon. I really like my portable skype phone.

I am not an experienced programmer so do not expect to much. By going into sound and notifications and setting screen taps and hardware buttons to loud dramatically increased the volume on my itech stereo headset volume. The volume was doubled what it was for voice calls via headset and louder when using the headset for A2DP. I do not know the reasoning for this but it worked for me. If anyone knows why it worked please enlighten below. Hope this works for other people. Can others who have this problem test this on there kaiser and let me know if this works for them?
another way is to tap the speaker icon in the taskbar when A2DP is active & turn up the left volume slider.
headset volume
thanks for your response..but prev i was experiencing low volume and tried the usual things including this. I was curious to know why changing notification and button taps to loud would increase volume on headset. I know you have experimented a lot with a2dp when i had my hermes on that forum and thought someone like you might know why
Is there a possibility to adjust volume more precise. If I listen to music in the evening its always pretty loud and i would like to have more volume steps, espially at lower loudness.
Does anybody know how to do?
Thanks
Are you using the HTC Audio Player to listen music? I have the same porblem. I just regedit the value of HTC Audio Player to make it lower. But I have to face another problem, the ringtone volume is still lound! Everytime I listen music, when there is a incoming call, the ringtone is very loud compare with the music. I have ask the question before (not at here) but no one can solve it....
I have the same problem
when I press volume key down, it will down 3 level, why it can't just adjust 1 level
when I press 1 time
You can use your fingers/stylus to adjust volume by one bar only. Also don't forget the top arrow to tab between ringer and application volume slider.
how about trying out AD2P?
using a bluetooth headset will sounds much better than the wired one...
and volume control can be done on the headset itself.
Same problem here.
The question is not to use AD2P, or to do it with your fingers.
We would like to do it using the volum up/down buttons, but they increase/decrease volume by 20% every time, wich does not allow a precise config.
I have exactly the same requests:
- control with hardware buttons by 1 bar
- decrease audio volume: it's too loud to listen music!

How do you do that?
I have the same problem. The System Volume can only be set in 20% steps. For listening to music that is just not exact enough.
Does anyone know if there is a Registry-key what defines this behavior?
Still no solution for this?
Did anyone find a solution for that?

HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config\
Set music_player_volumn = 80
Example 80% of volume
soft reset and N'joy.

what exactly does this do?
This sets the volume to 80%?
What we want is that the hardware buttons change the volume more precise...
not a predefined volume...

Oops! sorry to get it wrong.
Yes this set's the maximum vol to 80%. It's for the music player of TouchFlow 3D
I.e. when the phone speaker volume is 100% then the music player's volume is 80%
There must be someone who can figure this out
I have this problem too
Still no solution for this?
Me too, I'd love to be able to change the volume more precisely. Anyone know how to do it?
i also have this problem.
me too, it's very annoying when I think I should be able to adjust the adjust precisely with the volume buttons while my Diamond in my pocket...
Anyone?
Me too !! I have exactly the same problem ...
Hi all ,
there is any chance to increase the volume of the speaker ?
he is very weak.. (and his volume is on maximum)
tweak or smting will help.
thanks !
No tweaks really available for this. There are like one or two tricks (one of which requires hacking your phone up) that apparently work.
Look around, there are tons of threads in regards to this topic.
Yes the speaker is crap on the diamond. Sooner or later you will get used to it and live with it
do not forget that you have three volume settings.
first system volume, second ringtone volume and third incall volume.
the last you can only set during a call. when in a call, turn on your screen and then press the volume up button. now you can change the volume during a call.
for me this fixed al the volume problems.
offcourse if you want to use your speaker for handsfree or as an mp3 player: don't. the speaker is not intended for this use and you will just irritate people around you. use a headphone instead.

I also thought that the volume during a call is way too low despite having the volume at maximum. Since I installed Phone Weaver which lets you control the incall volume via profiles it blows my ears away. Last time the speaker was too loud during the call but I couldn't turn it down with the volume keys?! It only changed the master (system?) volume but not the incall. What did I wrong?
I have found that the loud-speaker volume is very low during movie playback, what setting deals with this?
Use Advanced Config and enable all Audio Booster options. This maybe helps...
Also Diamond Tweak, maybe disable 100 db Sound Limitation...
However, these are I think for headset, I haven't tried if they affect the external speaker.
One thing that works for sure is setting equalizers to max in In Core player, but I don't know if the core player works on Diamond...
Don't you love it how I actually haven't helped you at all?
I am gonna test all these and edit this post ))))))

Increase the volume of the movie player if its not already 100%?
Personally my speaker is very loud. During calls, at around 50% volume its still so loud I have to keep it a little from my ear.

i think you have to be in the phone menu. when i press the volume during a call, it changes the call volume. maybe phone weaver assigns a different function to you volume button.

Coreplayer shows volume at 100% already, but the volume is so low I can barely hear a thing...
Anyone? It's weird because when I put calls on loudspeaker it's fine, but when playing a movie it's inaudible...

think carefully before doing this
One of my gripes with the Nexus 6 is the fact that whenever my phone rings it does so in an escalating fashion. Rather than ringing at full volume like a normal device it goes from a low volume and slowly picks up to the loud volume. The same happens with Voice Calls as well on Speaker and it is very frustrating.
Is there anyway I can disable this? Perhaps a mod to disable this system so I can have regular full volume rather than escalating volume? I keep almost missing phone calls due to this, and voice calls have been redundantly frustrating.
I was wondering the same thing!
Hopeful that there will be a rom / kernel that will change this. IIRC, Seems like I remember a tweak on some of the Gnex ones that did it.
I use a app called "Disable Increasing Ring" on my Samsung Note 2.
Don't know if it is working for Nexus 6... (don't have one, but want one)
It's in the Play store
Willem
Headset to speaker phone
The volume also does the ascending thing from headset to speaker phone which I'm not really a fan of.
the app
Worked briefly on the Nexus 6 then stopped
Any new info on this going to try the app described above and see if it works for me.
Anyone else finding that no matter what type of headphones you plug in when making and receiving calls the minimum volume is still too loud. It is so loud that I got a ringing in my ears after trying for the first time! Presently I am not able to wear headphones for voice calls which is a problem when I am trying to use the phone for hands free when in a conference call. Interestingly the volume is fine for media use. Anyone get any ideas of how to lower the voice call volume level?
I have found this with my Redmi Note 4. There's nothing you can do without a rooted phone by the looks. I've contact Xiaomi support and they say the minimum volume is set by design. Well its a painful volume level with their own bloody headsets. Will be rooting and changing the config else i'll be looking for another phone.
