Volume too low after update to 921 - Solved

[bamsekram]

After update to build 921, the volume is way too low, significantly lower than before.
In other apps, the volume is normal, considerably higher than in Poweramp.

I'm using Samsung Galaxy S21 (Android 12 latest build) and Samsung Galaxy Buds2.
I've tried this: restarting the phone, unpairing the earbuds and pairing them again - no use.

I've never touched the settings for Direct Volume Control, but I restored them to default, just to be sure. That didn't help either.

Poweramp is basically unusable to me right now, because of the low volume.

UPD: I found a fix - in Android Settings/Apps/Poweramp, I cleared cache and data, now the volume is normal. Still you should have a look at this, seems like a bug to me.

@bamsekram by default it will just check if absolute volume is enabled or not and disable DVC automatically.

Low volume is indication of DVC + absolute volume, these two won’t work together and or another should be disabled.

Galaxy buds do support volume control on them so I recommend disabling abs. volume to have DVC enabled for the greater equalization range.
