Increased volume precision

[cowwoc]

I just changed my phone from a Samsung Note 4 to a S9+. All of a sudden, my morning alarm is super loud (to the point of being unusable) even at a volume setting of 1/15. It turns out that this is a very common complaint for the newer Samsung phones (Google "samsung alarm too loud") and there are numerous applications that work around the problem in software.

One such software that worked very well for me is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume.

The problem is that PhoneProfilePlus and PreciseVolume don't mix well. Every time I activate a profile using PhoneProfilePlus it undoes the volume correction of PreciseVolume.

Ideally I shouldn't have to use PreciseVolume at all. Is it possible for PhoneProfilePlus to provide extra-precise volume controls like PreciseVolume does so I can just skip the latter? Alternatively, is there a way to make PhoneProfilePlus respect whatever magic mojo PreciseVolume is doing behind the scenes?

I suggest downloading PreciseVolume yourself and checking out what it does? I start an alarm, then go into PreciseVolume and adjust the volume live. You can configure the volumes with 10-20x more precision than you can with the built-in volume controls.
