I think I just about destroyed my hearing this morning starting up some tunes on TCPMP. With volume level at 1, it was so loud that my ears are in pain right now. I can never seem to get the volume to work properly with the headphones that came with the device.. either the music is too loud, phone too soft, system noises too loud, etc.. Has anyone had this issue? Also, what's up with only 6 volume level settings? Is there some kind of a 3rd party volume control around that might fix some of my problems?
normalise them with any wav/mp3 editors 1st...
have you tried adjusting your headphone volume? Probably it's set to too loud thats why even at volume 1 it's blasting.
1)Use the volume slider on the headphone cable
2)Set TCPMP not to use the system volume. That way I always have the system sound at max setting, and then set between TCPMP's setting and the headphones' one.
TCPMP volume etc.
I have the system volume disabled and use the pre-amp's volume on TCPMP, which, incidentally, you can set at 0%, 25%, 75% and 100%. 25% is MORE than adequate when watching movies etc. I only use MORTPLAYER for music and I also don't use the system volume.
I leave system volume at 100%.
I'm using HD2 with a Jabra BT3030 bluetooth headset and the problem is that even with the lowest volume setting on Jabra the volume is too loud making my ears hurt.
I can work around this by editing the audio files' volume on my computer before transferring them to my phone but that means some extra work so I was wondering if it's possible to change the volume through some registry tweaks on HD2?
I found the bluetooth settings at HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth but can't seem to find anything regarding volume levels.
Is changing the volume possible at all?
Same here! HD2 + BT3030. Voicecall volume is ok, by pressing the volume button on BT3030 the volume control on HD2 is popping up and works as it should.
But if ur listening to music, the BT3030 internal volume control gets back in action, and the lowest setting is still too loud. Changing volume with hardware buttons on HD2 is showing the volume bar but doesnt change the volume.
Any solutions?
I do have the same problem. After testing my HD2 one day with BT3030 I would say all is prefect apart from this issue mentioned and unfortunately this is currently a NO-GO to me. I love my BT3030 and don't want give it away.
A little bit of tweaking maybe will bring some light at the end of the tunnel
Cheers,

I have the opposite issue with a Plantronics headset: the volume is too too low!
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance
I have the Philips BT Headset.
Volume is very high to start with.
The volume buttons don't respond very well ... but if you hold them down, the volume does eventually change to a sensible level. It will go up and down ... just need to be patient.

Have to push this thread because this problem is killing me. I have a Sony-Ericsson HBH-IS800 headset and everything worked perfect with my Touch HD, but now it's useless for me if I can't change the Music volume.
Any solutions for this problem???
Just found out that the volume controls of the CorePlayer can change the volume
Tried it also with Nitrogen, Windows Media and the Manila Music Player, but CorePlayer is the only one that can change the volume for my Bluetooth headset
/HKLM/software/widcomm/plugin/av >> all the volume settings should be there. try to play with it.
Only found one interesting point: DisableRcVolumeControl. Setting it to 0 ends in a message "the connected BT-headset doesn't support volume control. control the volume on the headset itself".
That's BS, i can control the volume over headset in phonecalls and even if no application is opened it controls the system volume. So still no solution found

I guess you managed in:
menu>tools>settings>Audio page
the Volume and Preamp settings???
How did you set them?
I have a HD2 and BT3030.. Same problem with volume level.
I have tried with Coreplayer as suggest. I cannot turn down the volume on the BT3030, but turning it down in Coreplayer will lower the volume level.
I really hope for a tweak here.
It seems to be the bluetooth connections/software interface that is doíng something wrong.
still playing around with it...
If Coreplayer is player with low volume it will be low volume in the BT3030.
Pressing Play on the BT3030 will start manilla, with low volume as well... unfortunately with the sound from both coreplayer and manilla player. As long as coreplayer is playing (not running) manilla volume will be low. As soon as coreplayer is munted or stopped the volume on the manilla will go up.
Hope this can help some smart tweakers....
I found a similar thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-424565.html
they tweaked with theres files:
Using a registry editor, I've changed the following key values:
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config\music_pl ayer_volumn --> 20 (default: 100)
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Information\vol umn --> 20 (default: 100)
It seems that the default volume level of the HTC player (aka manilla player; I am not right?) is too loud.
I will try and play with this within the next couple of days..

I've just changed the volume at the lower right corner of the home screen of CorePlayer.
Btw it's the same setting as menu>tools>settings>Audio page>Volume.
Preamp is 0, and Volume is at 30.
I am also having a problem controlling the volume when using my SE HBH-DS200 bluetooth headset. Coreplayer's volume control works, but s2p's does not.
It looks like Coreplayer has its own independent volume control, seperate from the system volume. The other media players (s2p, and at a guess all the others mentioned in this thread) use the system volume.
the problem seems to be that the bluetooth audio connection is ignoring the system volume setting. Anyone have an idea of how we can fix this?
Would like to find a solution as well.
I have a Samsung WEP420 BT headset and the volume is too low. I can barely hear the other calling party specially with some surrounding noise.
We need to approach HTC on this issue, it is a obvious bug in the Widcomm bluetooth stack, I had previous Widcomm based HTC phones with the same headsets that had no issues.
This is a copy of my email to HTC, feel free to email them and add any pertinent info:
There is a serious bug with the Widcomm Bluetooth Stack on the HTC HD2. It is impossible to change the volume of any Bluetooth Stereo headset from the phone.
This is critical as most bluetooth stereo headsets do not have a built in volume control and they rely on the phone for volume adjustment.
This makes my HD2 useless as the volume on my bluetooth headset (Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800, or Jabra BT3030) is at %100 all the time.
Please address this issue with a software patch or a system firmware update.
My HTC Nexus One does not suffer from this issue, and previous Widcomm based HTC phones I have owned did not suffer from this bug.
Thanks
Great. Thanks. Hope HTC will really come out with a patch soon!
Here is HTC's reply:
Hello G, I understand how frustrating it can be when a device does not function as expected. I have tested this complaint and found that our test device exibits the same behavior. Adjusting any volume levels on the device itself does not affect the volume output of the headset, with the exception of setting the Windows Media Player Mobile volume to 0%, which will stop audio from coming out of the headset all together. There are no planned patches for the HD2 at this time, but I will submit your concern on this issue to our feedback department for condsideration in any updates that may enter development in the future. If you have any further questions or concers, please feel free to contact us again or check www.htc.com as well. We also invite you to participate in our feedback survey at survey.htc.com/worldwide. We enjoy getting feedback from our customers and look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Joseph
We need to step this up if we ever want it fixed, everyone needs to send a suport request to HTC so that they understand that this is a major issue.

Hello,
I have a problem with volume when listen music with Pocketmusic (and with any other music player too).
I'd like to use volume button on the side to control volume (when dispay is off), but there is too big difference between two nearby levels - the lowest = off, the one above is too loud (with headphones).
Is there a way to determine difference between two nearby levels of volume? Ideal would be percent-by-percent volume control.
Thanks for any idea.
I am currently using the MaxdBAtten registry key to adjust the overall system (ringer, notification, device speaker) volume but what I've noticed that (even without this hack) the Bluetooth streaming media volume is so low that I have to crank up the volume in my car just to hear anything at all.
Is there a different, separate registry key to control the volume of the Bluetooth streaming media volume. BTW, Bluetooth _call_ volume is just fine.
Does anyone know how to increase the bluetooth volume and the in-call volume.
I use the same bluetooth headset that I used to have on my s7 and I find the bluetooth volume way too low even though the slider is at the max setting.
Also the in-call volume is low as well.
Is there any service mode where we can change the default volume value or any hidden setting.
I have the original firmware without root G950W

I have this same issue on my note 8 did you get it resolved?
Actually I am not sure if it is completely resolved.
Are you using a lot of bluetooth headsets?
Try to use another headset, put the volume half way, unpair the bluetooth that you are having the problem and then repair it.
I think sometimes I have a bit higher volume.
