Remap the maximal volume range of the soundbar through the app

[PezSound]

Hello,

I recently got my hands on the new soundbar Q950A (HW-Q950AWWB-1011.1) and discovered that I can only use the volume range between 1-15. Increasing the volume beyond that level is too loud and could potentially damage my ears. I understand that the option of having a broader range of volume is necessary for different setups but for my standard setup, I find the current range of volume more than enough. I have tested the soundbar by connecting it to my phone and Mac using Bluetooth.

Dear Samsung development team, I believe that no one will use the volume above 30. Hence, could you add a feature to your app, which would help users to adjust the soundbar's range of volume or limit its maximum volume. As a parent, I am concerned about my kids playing with the volume control on the soundbar and I am worried that it may have a negative impact on their hearing.

It would be great if the app could help to remap the maximum volume level of the soundbar. This way, when I adjust the soundbar's volume to its highest level, let's say 100%, it would only reach 30% of the actual volume. This would enable me to have a more precise way of adjusting the volume. Because otherwise, we increasing the volume by 1%, the sound increases a lot.

Thank you.

I just bought Q990d and volume level 12 seems high enough. Level 15 is way too high. 

Please help remap the levels. Sometimes level 11 seems a bit low and level 12 seems too high. High wish I had levels between 11 and 12!

I am now scared that we accidentally set the level too high and blast our ear drums. Please give me a was to limit volume ( or I am considering returning and getting a simple low rated sound bar)

+1 same issue here. It would be a huge win to remap the maximum volume level. Especially for applications that only use a slider (like Spotify, when casting), it's extremely hard to adjust the volume in a fine-grained manner in the 5-12 range.

I agree, there needs to be a remap or at least a max treshold setting equal to Sonos-settings.

How is this still an issue? The soundbar supports volume from 0 to 100, but anything above 15 is just unusable loud.. Adding a sound curve or implementing a different scale should not take years to implement into firmware..

+1 At this moment, using Spotify Connect is dangerous. Volumes above 30-40 destroy hearing.

+1 this needs to be implemented

HELLO SAMSUNG! Please implement this in the next firmware update. This is very needed! For us lvl8 is too quiet, lvl9 is WAY TOO LOUD. Very annoying.

I would also like this. The volume is insane, and would be a reason to get something else.
