Earbuds volume level

Olegausany — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 16:57:22 GMT

I use YouTube to listen to audio books in addition to watching videos. I use phone speakers when I am at home and earbuds when I'm out. Often I start while I am at home and continue while outside. So I'm having an issue with the volume level which set to max. When using speakers the volume is loud enough. But if I switch to earphones it is not as loud as using speakers. Absolute volume in development options is turned off but it doesn't help. As a workaround I use a pre-gain setting in Spot31EQ but I want to know what causes the issue and if it is possible to fix it. This issue is not just with S26 ultra but on S24 plus as well. So I want to know if anybody else has it and what can I do to fix it

@Olegausany Bluetooth earbuds or wired earbuds? There are different volume controls for Bluetooth audio and phone media audio. Have you tried adjusting the levels when you are using your earbuds?

Bluetooth earbuds, sorry for forgetting to mention it. Volume is set to max including Bluetooth
