Please drink verification can to increase volume
I have seen this hundred times yet it still makes me chuckle.
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
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.
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.
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.
Mine too, and I am connected with Bluetooth! My car has a warning telling me to set my phone to max volume as radio controls are separate.
Every few months I am left wondering why the volume is so low and having to look at my phone’s tiny text and touch the screen at the right place to hit the right one.
Yeah also, they don’t understand that I’m fucking hard of hearing. Yes my audio is loud, that way I can hear it
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
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.
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
Devices used to have a dedicated line out you were never supposed to use headphone ports on external devices so technically you are just working outside of the standard, so technically your device is incompatible with all those external devices you are using, what we really need is a new protocol that is designed to keep everything at the same level on external devices.
Given that we’re discussing the behaviour of phones, I’m quite certain that there was never a time when they generally had line out ports. Also, I can’t imagine people are connecting their Bluetooth speakers to the wrong interface.
What you’re describing is still wishful thinking, because there’s no world where every consumer device is going to have accurately calibrated volume regardless of whether there’s a protocol which specifies it.
If we’re discussing Bluetooth that is entirely on the manufacturer to make sure it is seen as an external device instead of headphones if your device is showing as an external device and you are still getting that message then it is a bug with your phone.
But anyway you look at it a head phone port was designed for headphones exclusively and using it in any other way is incorrect , we have a work around it’s called line out and it should never go above line level line out is lower than a headphone port so the audio warning should not affect it at all if it does you are either not amplifying your audio correctly or the manufacturer made it incorrectly.
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.
Take care of your hearing, people.
AI Assistant: I am sorry, but your headphone volume cannot be turned up past this point unless you get a note from your audiologist. Would you like for me to put on some soothing AI interpretive jazz?
i listen to YouTube videos essentially the entire day (yesterday 8 hrs) and here’s my levels:
here’s my cat
What app is that?
That’s not an app. That’s a cat.
/usr/bin/catit’s my pixel phone settings app, iirc it’s only for the google pixel buds
Cute cat 👍
People yearn for tinnutus and hearing loss
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEyou’ll have to speak upEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
MAWP MAWP
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.
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).
Why would bone conduction be more damaging than other types of headphones?
I don’t know, but they’re new. Hardly any research has been done
helps to mitigate a lot of the bullshit people say and drowns out the stupid TV commercials at the gas pumps.
What even is this limit? I’ve never seen this before?
Rock is best loud, who listens to queen on vol level 3
If they were really concerned about me damaging my ears, why not make the maximum volume lower than that?
