What is the point of media volume sync?

[PaulQ]

Maybe it's obvious but I don't get it? And it can turn off adapt sound.

The point of media sync volume I believe this to sync up the volume levels between your Bluetooth headset and your phone's media volume level.

I should have been more clear.

I know what it does but why would you want to use it? What's the benefit?

So that when you adjust the volume on your headset it also adjusts the media volume on your phone and vice versa. Without media volume sync they are both independently adjusted and it can get confusing.

Correct, medium pass Android phones you would have two different volume levels and the phone could be lower than the Bluetooth headphones could be. Hear they're both identical and the media volume controller which is your Bluetooth that's closer and more convenient to your hands is the one that's always controlling things.

Hmm. I need to think about whether or not this is a good thing. I may have the volume turned up high when I'm using a Bluetooth speaker but low on the phone for when I play something in public. I guess with this setting on, the media volume control would remain high. So that means if I played a YouTube video after disconnecting the Bluetooth device, it would blast loudly.... right?

Yes correct. I personally love the media sync volume setting.

You can disable media sync, if you want.

I believe the media volume sync is tied to a specific device. The phone speaker and the bluetooth are different devices.
