csmyka97 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I've been using Poweramp on my lgv40 and have noticed low volumes with Bluetooth and aux. Is there any way to fix this? I've only noticed this issue recently. Thanks in advance, Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Please enable DVC + disable Absolute Volume (for Bluetooth). See Settings / Audio / Direct Volume Control for the details - UNCHECK No DVC for Bluetooth Absolute Volume - provided you disabled Absolute Volume in developer settings. Thanks!

csmyka97 Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 Thanks for your reply. When I check the disable absolute volume for Bluetooth in developer settings it doesn't seem to change anything in the Poweramp settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will unchecking No DVC for Bluetooth Absolute Volume damage earbuds or cause clipping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewilley Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Using DVC and Bluetooth Absolute Volume at the same time can cause issues, hence Max's suggestion to turn on the "Disable BT Absolute Volume" control in the Android Developer Settings menu.

Andre I just want to make sure that I'm not doing any damage because when I do turn it off, the music gets very loud lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's now too loud, just turn it down with the volume control, or reduce the preamp setting in the Equaliser, or use ReplayGain if your songs have RG data embedded.

andrewilley Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 You do have a volume control. Just because it goes up to 11 doesn't mean you have to push it up that far. If you are playing music at such a high level that you are worried about damaging your audio equipment, heaven help your ears... Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre I usually max the volume on my phone and adjust the volume on my output device as necessary. Should I not be doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 That's how I tend to use Bluetooth as well, and indeed most audio signals generally. Full level signal fed between the devices, which on old analogue gear kept the noise floor low, and then adjust the listening volume on the final power amp stage ("power amp" in audio equipment terms, not PA the app).

Andre I see. Well I will be smart about my output device volumes and just not worry about damaging the device with power amp settings.

andrewilley Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 No hardware can be damaged while your audio is in the digital domain, the 'sound' is just a load of ones and zeroes at that stage - it'd be like damaging your device by putting too large a number into a spreadsheet. Once sound becomes analogue via an output device though, very extreme volumes could technically become damaging, but you'd really have to be deliberately stupid about it.
