Separate media volumes for speaker, headphones, and bluetooth

[rcpa]

I'm very happy to see that Jelly Bean maintains separate media volumes for the speakers, headphones, and bluetooth. When I connect to bluetooth A2DP, I need the volume at max to sound good in my headphones or through my bluetooth FM transmitter. However, when using just the speakers, I want the media volume low so I'm not making a lot of noise. And for wired headphones, I want it at about 50%.

For my Galaxy Nexus ICS and older phones, I used Tasker to set my volumes when bluetooth or the wired headphones connected/disconnected. However, when I put the Jelly Bean ROM on my Nexus, it was behaving unpredictably.

After a lot of playing around with it, I discovered that Jelly Bean remembers separate volumes for each of the modes. So if I turn up the bluetooth volume to 100%, then disconnect and set the speaker volume to 20%, when I reconnect to bluetooth, it remembers the 100% volume setting, and when I disconnect it goes back to 20% for the speakers. Same thing with wired headphones. No more need for Tasker to do it for me.

Does Jellybean remember your volume with your headphones like ios does?

Yup, as stated in the OP:
