Welcome to the A2DPVolume Wiki!

Active development on this app has stopped. Since Android 9, the need for the original volume adjustment is no longer needed. Some people still find other features of the app useful so I have not removed it from the Play Store but I do not plan any further development on this app. It is open source so feel free to clone/fork and modify if you want.

Read this page https://github.com/jroal/a2dpvolume/wiki/Notification-Reader-Settings to get the notification reader working. Note also that since version 2.12.11 the SMS reader was removed to comply with Play Store policy changes. Now you will need to use the notification reader to read SMS.

See other wiki pages to the right.

Note: If the app crashes this can be due to insufficient permissions. In Android 6.0 and up app permissions are very complex. If you deny this app permissions it may crash. Check your permissions in Android settings -> apps -> A2DP Volume -> permissions. Make sure all are selected. For more explanation of this apps permissions, see this wiki: https://github.com/jroal/a2dpvolume/wiki/Permissions-Explanation

News about the Bluetooth volume management in Android 9.

Volume memory per Bluetooth device: Android 9 will now remember the last volume you set for each of your Bluetooth devices. No more blasting music too loudly when you reconnect to your car or headphones. https://www.android.com/versions/pie-9-0/. Because of this, A2DP Volume had disabled the media volume features to prevent problems. However, due to too many bad reviews, it was added back in to version 2.12.12. However, it is not a good idea to use this feature on Android 9 and up.

You now use Android notification settings to manage how the task bar notifications work instead of A2DP Volume preferences. Here is a wiki explaining how to set it up..
