About this app

Precise Volume is a fully-featured Equalizer and audio control utility. It is filled with helpful features with the goal of allowing you to customize your audio to sound exactly how you like it.

NOTE: Returning users, try turning on Legacy mode. This may get the app working for you again. Go to Settings -> Equalizer Settings -> Legacy mode

This app overrides Android's default 15-25 volume steps and allows you to set a fully custom number. Other apps may give the illusion of having more volume steps, but this app actually has them.

Modern science tells us that the volume of our music can be just as important as anything else for connecting emotionally. When volume is too loud or too soft for a given song, emotional connection can be lost.

But Precise Volume doesn't just give you more volume steps. It also contains tons of automation features and customization options, such as:

Fully-Featured Equalizer
- Graphic EQ is your standard (but powerful) 10-band Equalizer
- Auto EQ can automatically adjust sound for your specific headphones (compiled by jaakkopasanen - you rock, dude)
- Bass/Compressor boosts bass!
- Reverb creates a simulated environment around your head
- Virtualizer creates a highly immersive surround sound effect
- Volume Booster can be found under Graphic Eq as "post-gain"
- L/R Balance lowers the volume of the left/right channels
- Limiter boosts volume as it safeguards your audio from going above a certain level, while keeping quality

Volume Booster
- Careful with this!

Ratings and reviews

It's a really impressive app, but I haven't found a way to change volume at an app level with it yet. I like to listen to audio books and play games at the same time. Some games have aggressively high volume and no option to reduce it. Right now I'm getting a lot of pain from final fantasy 8 on Android while listening to audible. I'm hoping there's a way to use this app to reduce the ff8 volume while keeping the audible volume high

Doesn't affect minimum volume. I got the app to lower the volume below my phones default minimum. ie when I use my Bluetooth earpods and lower the volume I can only go so far before volume cuts out entirely. I hoped this app could add steps between that lowest volume and no volume. I tried maxing out steps [1000]. I tried calibration for the device. Neither worked. There was one permission I was unable to grant even following app directions: DUMP, so its possible it might fix the issue. Pro User

Sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. Found a setting/checkbox “Disable Volume Precision” that is sometimes on the ”Precision Volume” screen and sometimes under the three dots menu. This setting/checkbox moves around in the UI and turns itself on/off when using the app with cell phone and BT headphones. I want precise volume from both my phone and headphone buttons but the app turns PV on off depending on which buttons are used. I can’t pay for Pro until this setting is more consistent.
