Google wants to reduce hearing loss with Android 14's latest safety feature - Lemdro.id

While I like the concept, I don’t think it’s going to be very useful

A given volume, e.g. 50% can be vastly different on different headphones/earbuds. Only really useful on 1st party products

For me personally, I connect my phone to my car and always have my phone’s volume at 100% for the Bluetooth because I control the volume with the physical knob in the car.
Man, I hate that BlueTooth doesn't have an equivalent of "line-out" that isn't affected by the host devices' volume settings. It's so annoying when I can barely hear my music because I turned the volume way down on my phone while watching a video late last night.
Poweramp plus allows you to set audio profiles for different devices, I have never gotten it to work properly between my bluetooth, wired headphones, and android auto.
There’s a setting in developer options to disable Bluetooth absolute volume. That can remove the sync from the media volume of your smartphone.
