Mine just caps sound to a maximum safe level by default,
I can go in the settings to disable this but why would i?
Hearing damage is no joke, and as a music lover it’s one of my worst fears.
I am not sure how it measures how loud the volume is but i have yet to experience the maximum not being loud enough.
If you're connected to a device that has independent volume management, then you can max out the phone volume and still have it be too quiet.
I most often run into this with my speaker setup in my workout room if I forget to turn up the volume on the receiver before hopping on the treadmill.
But, the other reason to not go too high is the audio can start degrading if the volume is too high on your phone.
You're dependent upon the recording you're listening to having been set to a decent volume to begin with. I will occasionally come across videos or music with significantly quieter sound than usual. I know what a good volume for my need at the moment is, while this warning is a dumb automatic pop-up based solely upon the single factor of the master device volume control setting - without any consideration for the actual decibels being output.
If you have your own music collection, I can really recommend normalising everything to a LUFS value of your choosing. (A common value is -14 LUFS for most streaming services Source)
Note there are two types of normalising, dynamic and linear. Linear is what you want as it'll only move the average loudness to your target, preserving the difference between the quietest and loudest parts. Dynamic normalization squashes the quietest and loudest parts into a narrower range.
For some reason i stopped having this problem ever since i started caring about audio quality and started to collect flacs only.
Technically original distributed media can have volume differences but the only times i ever recall it being problematically different is if its audio from yucktube.
I have a USB-C to audio jack adapter/sound card, which doesn't provide enough amplification for my headphones at "normal" levels, so I have to raise it beyond what android considers "save" in order to even hear voices enough to understand them, if the environment around me is a bit noisy itself. At maximum level it is still not really loud.
I just learned about the setting in this post and I'm happy to have it. My work truck doesn't have Bluetooth so I have a really shitty Bluetooth to radio converter. It's often way too quiet.
