Of course, you can turn the sound back up right after you’ve plugged your headphones in, but this can be inconvenient because you’ll have to do this every time you plug in headphones. So what is the solution for this issue? This post may help you stop “android automatically lowers volume” error, follow us!

Why your phone volume is automatically going down?

There are three main reasons that the sound volume automatically lowers itself:
 
The first one that most people may be not aware of is headphone compatibility. This means some headphones are going to work better for some certain phones, so you need to know which of headphones is most compatible with your phone, otherwise, your phone’s quality can be affected. Moreover, sound lowering on Android phones is also commonly caused by low-quality headphones that you bought from untrusted sources. If this problem is happening to you, simply try a different pair of headphones. Also, look for headphones that specify Android compatibility on the package.
Another reason for “volume turns down by itself” issue is that some Android phones aim to add a feature to protect your ears against too loud of a volume. You can now if your phone has the automatic volume limitation if there is a warning pop-up warning you about potential risks while you’re turning up the volume. Even if you bypass the warning, the pop-up automatically appears every 24 hours. How annoying it is, right? but think further, this may be “safe” for you.

Last but not least, make sure that the volume button on your device isn’t impinged by something such as poorly designed cases, hard objects to avoid the problem of “volume turns itself down”.
