It seems to happen when I enable Player Tracking. I mean this effectively stops YouTube from processing EQ but it works with Spotify and I don't get the random volume boost. Something with the last update is causing it, and a friend also mentioned this is happening to them as well.

I just tried disabling DVC from Settings > Equalizer as well as from the app tracking and it still seems to happen. It doesn't happen all the time but it's noticeable when I have my volume low and I'm browser through youtube search, my volume is low, and the audio from the Youtube app is playing at max volume. document_5181830282587669532.mp4

Hi @maxmp, Are you aware of this bug that I mentioned? It's happening and I had to disable the new pipeline for Pixel 9 which pretty much disables the EQ.

Tried it, it turns off the new pipeline which doesn't process the EQ, just shows the animation. Enabling it works but causes the sound bug again

Hi @maxmp Are you aware of the issue where enabling the new pipeline causes YouTube and Spotify to play the sound at max volume regardless of what the system media volume is set to?

Interesting - for me, disabling "Use new Pipeline Model" solved the issue and the EQ is working fine on Bluetooth not on speaker. EDIT: Actually, the equalizer is showing the animation but it's not processing anything. So it seems to only work with the new Pipeline Model but causes a bug where it's playing audio on max volume.

Over the past few days, my Pixel 9 XL has been randomly playing videos on YouTube, Spotify, and Chrome at full volume, regardless of the phone’s media volume settings. Sometimes adjusting the volume with the buttons works, but other times the sound remains at max volume, forcing me to close the app to stop it. After checking all the settings, I noticed that Poweramp Equalizer was recently updated, around the same time the issue started. Once I disabled Audio Processing in the Equalizer settings, the problem stopped. Has anyone else experienced this issue, or are there known fixes for Poweramp Equalizer causing volume control problems? For context, I have a specific preset set up for the speaker. Any insights would be appreciated. Just to add - I didn't change any settings within the equalizer in the past few days and has been working fine for the past several years including Pixel 5, 7, and now 9. No volume spikes or anything as mentioned by an earlier poster and has been working flawlessly for me. Edit: It’s definitely related to Poweramp Equalizer. I just experienced the issue again on YouTube Shorts. I disabled Poweramp Equalizer, went back to YouTube, and since the media volume was set to 0, the video played quietly. After re-enabling Poweramp Equalizer and returning to YouTube, the Shorts were blasting at full volume again. I disabled it again and played with no sound. Would appreciate you looking into this as I absolute love this equalizer. If there's any way I can assist in providing any logs, please let me know.
