Hello,
So I have a SAMSUNG A41 mobile phone that, when headphones are plugged in, the volume wont go higher then 60%.
Solutions I have tried.
1. Disabling media volume limiter. Tried having it on and off. No luck.
2. Using different wired headphones
3. Restarting phone.
4. Going into recovery mode and wiping cache.
5. Booting into safe mode.
Basically everything was beautiful and then one day im listening to music thru the Samsung Music app and the volume drops to 60%. And no matter what i do, it wont go higher. I can go down, but I cant go up and beyond 60%.
No matter what media i play, mp3, or youtube video, it wont go higher. But if i unplug the headphones, it will allow me to go all the way up. I dont get it.
My phone is up to date with the latest software version for the device!
Phone Model number - SM-A415F/DSN
Thanks in advance for any help.
John

Hi Pete,
No, my headphones dont have a volume control.
I dont want to think about if my music is too loud or not :)) I want the phone to do what I want, I say volume up, it must go up :)))
Thanks for your help though!!

Hi @JohnRambo
I can't guarantee this will help but you could look at the absolute volume setting via developer settings.

Hey @BandOfBrothers
Thanks for the advice. Tried it, on and off, that didnt do anything.
I think tonight is going to be reformat/recovery/start from scratch day :)))
Thanks

@JohnRambo: Although you mentioned that you have already tried this, it does appear to be a Media Volume Limit issue. To double check, please head to Settings > Sounds and Vibration > Volume > Use Volume Keys For Media > On > Tap the 3 dots in the top right > Media Volume Limit, and toggle this option OFF. Now, with your headphones connected, press and hold the Volume Up button on the side of the phone while listening to media. If you are warned about increasing the volume beyond a certain level, press the Volume Up button once again to take it into the 'red', and you should be good to go.

Hey whats up @DAVESHADY
Thanks for trying to help me out with my problem.
Regarding your solution. I will keep that in mind in case it happens again!
I just went ahead and did a straight up recovery on the phone and started from scratch.
Everything is all good again.
Thanks again for helping out!!!
