Volume goes up when opening a game

[Jesus Delgadillo]

So I just noticed that when I'm listening to music with my earphones on and I open a game, any game, the volume goes up as soon as the game opens. Is this a feature ooor a bug? Anybody else noticed this? It does it with or without Dolby Atmos.

*sigh* pretty much my only annoyance of this device so far! When I'm listening to music (which is most of the time!) whether it be wired or BT, when someone calls me, the volume will go ALL THE WAY UP. So I have to manually lower it without getting my ears blasted by the caller. Then when my call is over.....the volume to my music is lowered even though the volume on the device is at 75-80%. I have to disconnect (wired or BT) in order for everything to go back to normal. Very annoying!! I'm hoping its a bug that Samsung will take care of with a future update.

Can you explain in which exact, detailed scenario this happens, so that I can try it on mine and see if I have the same issue?

Its not that complicated. Just listen to your music at any volume and have someone call you. First thing you'll notice is that the caller volume is all the way up. Then when they hang up, you'll notice that the volume for music has gone down. If you unplug (or disconnect if on BT), you'll see that volume will go back up to where you originally had it.

Yeah I noticed that yesterday while on BT on my car. Not a good experience, hopefully it gets fixed

Kind of surprised not many people have chimed in with this issue. Grinds my a gears a bit.

Same here. It's either they dont play games while listening to music or they just dont care to bring it up lol.

I did actually. It wasn't Android or Samsung though. It was a setting in my Poweramp app that was lowering the volume. The setting was called 'Smooth Equalizer/Tone Gains'. There are so many freakin settings in this device that its dizzying and annoying as hell!

 

[Jesus Delgadillo]

I don't have that app and it still does it

It might be a setting....somewhere....in that VAST SEA of digital space that is your device....lol.

I had this issue and luckily found the solution.

Go to Settings - Sounds and Vibration - Advanced Sound Settings - Sound Quality and Effects - and disable DOLBY ATMOS for Gaming - that fixed it when I was playing Wordscapes while listening to Google Play Music. Try that out and let me know.

Thanks for the steps! Turning off Dolby Atmos for Gaming resolve the fluctuation in volume that I was experiencing when I would open a game.
