About this app

Precise Volume is a fully-featured Equalizer and audio control utility. It is filled with helpful features with the goal of allowing you to customize your audio to sound exactly how you like it.

NOTE: Returning users, try turning on Legacy mode. This may get the app working for you again. Go to Settings -> Equalizer Settings -> Legacy mode

This app overrides Android's default 15-25 volume steps and allows you to set a fully custom number. Other apps may give the illusion of having more volume steps, but this app actually has them.

Help
Documentation/help can be found at https://precisevolume.phascinate.com/docs/

Modern science tells us that the volume of our music can be just as important as anything else for connecting emotionally. When volume is too loud or too soft for a given song, emotional connection can be lost.

But Precise Volume doesn't just give you more volume steps. It also contains tons of automation features and customization options, such as:

Fully-Featured Equalizer
- Graphic EQ is your standard (but powerful) 10-band Equalizer
- Auto EQ can automatically adjust sound for your specific headphones (compiled by jaakkopasanen - you rock, dude)
- Bass/Compressor boosts bass!
- Reverb creates a simulated environment around your head
- Virtualizer creates a highly immersive surround sound effect
- Volume Booster can be found under Graphic Eq as "post-gain"
- L/R Balance lowers the volume of the left/right channels
- Limiter boosts volume as it safeguards your audio from going above a certain level, while keeping quality

Volume Booster
- Careful with this!

Automation
- Apps Automation (activate presets when apps are opened/closed)
- Bluetooth Automation (activate presets when Bluetooth is connected/disconnected)
- USB DAC Automation (activate presets when your USB DAC is connected/disconnected)
- Headphone Jack Automation (activate presets when headphone jack is plugged/unplugged)
- Date/Time Automation (activate presets at specific dates/times, repetition options included)
- Boot Automation (activate presets when device boots)

Volume Presets
- Pre-define volume and other settings to apply later (can be used with automation, etc). Create specific presets for all of your headphones, for your car, etc.

Equalizer Presets
- Pre-define Equalizer settings for use later (can be used with automation, etc). Create specific presets for your every mood (or headphones!)

Media Locker

No Root Required

Not What I Expected because the volume steps are still too coarse*. Has a decent equalizer that integrates well with Y/T music and some other apps that I have. Most other EQs have no effect at all. I thought I was getting "precise volume" finer volume step graduation. Apparently not. The volume controls could use about double the resolution. UPDATE: The higher res is in the premium version. Also, there are sophisticated volume profiles that are user calibrated in all versions. Revised rating! +

Excited: To finally find an app which would fix the bug with S22+ (makes the lowest bluetooth vol setting extremely loud.) People in the comment section said it fixed it! I expected to open the app, give a few permissions, press vol up / down keys to control Bluetooth and actually make sound lower. Instead, I find a puzzle of confusing settings, most do nothing. Yes - I gave it all permissions, even the scary ones. No, I won't pay for pro, to see if locked settings control Bluetooth vol.

Hmm, sorry to hear that. I've just pushed out an update (beta-05) that may address this. In particular, I've made Better Audio Detection (the part that needs the scary permissions) more aggressive with an "aggressive mode" feature. You may find that it helps. As always, I will seek to improve the app even more. Thanks for the feedback.

I used this app for years! Mostly for precise volume with my Bluetooth speaker that is a little too loud. Though I don't like the new update. Very confusing and I have to relearn where everything is. The Help guide is good though, and the developer(s) seem very nice and responsive. Good job!
