No need to root. Many apps will let you turn down the volume precisely. The volume slider uses increments so even at its lowest, it’s nowhere near 1%. This app is what I use, it works well
Any way you can add more granular volume steps like this app that has 100 increments https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume
Precise Volume and App Volume Control might be helpful. However, It is not possible to set a background app and a foreground app with different volume levels. It is a limitation in Android, for now.
You should use the app Precise Volume. It also defaults you to the media volume and doesn't drain your battery.
Edit: It does mention slight battery drain, so I'm guessing it uses the same method.
Try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume
It has 100 increments. But be careful first to open the app and adjust volume before playing media because volume will start at 100%.
Also, those granular volume adjustments only work when you're inside the app. Outside the app or when screen is off, Android volume adjustments will take over. You can create presets for multiple occasions.
Precise Volume can increase your volume to 100% (or more) when a headphone jack is plugged in.
Meet Precise Volume -- the app that goes beyond Android's volume limits and gives you precise control over your volume.

I got precise volume https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume&hl=en for more steps, no root required.
Honestly, it's a little annoying sometimes because it fights with the default audio manager, so when you want to use it, you have to change volume inside the app, not with the buttons, and if you use the buttons, you go back to device audio. But since I don't use the buttons often anyway, I deal with it.
> Is there an app that could control the volume 1% per step
- Might need to: Settings -> Developer options -> "Disable absolute volume"
- Might need to: restart phone
I believe the app Precise Volume will allow you to create a volume preset that mutes different volumes on the device, check it out.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume this app helped me with the Low Sound of my xz premium but it will not fix your problem. maybe complete reset of your phone or waiting for a new update. my xz permium has some problems with pie too
You can try an app called Precise Volume.
I haven't been using the Essential PH-1 as a music player very much, so I don't have the app installed. On my previous non-Essential phone, that app was wonderful for getting the exact volume I wanted.
It'd depend on the content. Most in-ear earphones/buds are on the quiet side anyway but if you need something quieter, then something like Precise Volume is recommended.
This is what I use for sound tuning, and my setting is here, mostly just a tweak of the low end:
One of the comments in that video say that this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume&hl=en_CA
Fixes the issue by locking the volume.
I just ordered a refurbished pair of the arctis pro.
I know right! I always wanted more control for both speaker and headphone volume. I have to use Precise Volume (+ EQ/Booster) when I want 1% or 5% volume. I rather not use this buggy third party app...
According to Both apps, They take the Volume Control from the Host (the one giving the bluetooth signal)
assuming you are using a phone, you can try these apps to lower the volume a little bit at a time:
(due note, this isnt a guarantee. and there are no endorsements for either of these apps.)
<Android>
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume
<IPhone>
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/volume-control-pro/id1499421410
Okay, so basically you want more volume steps, right? Download Precise Volume - this overrides the default 15 step volume control and gives you 100 levels. This app also comes with EQ and booster, so you have more controls over your volume.
Well if it is of any help then you could try something like this Precise Volume if changing properties manually is difficult or inaccessible for you. IDK if this is allowed in this sub. If in case it isn't then I apologize.
Just got these headphones and having the same issue. Tried many different things after researching Reddit. Only thing that's worked for me us what this one user posted in another thread:
>for me this worked:
1)download this app "Precise Volume (+ EQ/Booster)" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume&amp;hl=en_CA
2)go to "lock volume buttons to media"
3)check "lock volume buttons to media">
I was frustrated too but this app has worked at least for separating notification and ringtone volume, and it looks like you can do system volume too if you turn on "split ringer" in settings. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume
This app was listed as an alternative to Samsung's SoundAssistant which gives you more control over the audio of your phone. You should be able to achieve what you want from the looks of it. I haven't used this app. Hope it helps.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume
If you have the Google Play Store installed (there's a few guides around on how to do this) then this app will solve your problem:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume&hl=ja
Turn on the equalizer and drag all the levels down - problem solved.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume
Use this app, you can adjust the volume by each %!
Ooooh, didn't know about this. I have the same problem as OP and this looks promising at first glance. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume
Edit: not sure if it actually works. Still too loud on further testing :/
i found a fix for this i found this app "Precise Volume (+ EQ/Booster)" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume&hl=en_CA
1)download it
2)go to "lock voume buttons to media"
3)check "lock volume buttons to media"
i have done some testing and so far this has fixed it for me
for me this worked:
1)download this app "Precise Volume (+ EQ/Booster)" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume&hl=en_CA
2)go to "lock volume buttons to media"
3)check "lock volume buttons to media"
disabling absolute volume didn't work for me but this did:
1)download this app "Precise Volume (+ EQ/Booster)" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume&hl=en_CA
2)go to "lock volume buttons to media"

First of all, I'll point out that you can slide the slider that appears when you touch the music buttons.
​
What phone do you have? If it is a Samsung device, you can install soundassistant from galaxy apps. From that app, you can adjust how much each press on the volume buttons change the volume, set different sound levels for different apps and adjust other sound-related options.
​
Alternatively you can use [Precise volume]( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume ) on all phones.
Great. That's why I included the developer. Sorry, it didn't occur to me to provide a link. Here it is, just in case... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume
Let me know if that works for you.
Its an Android thing and can be quite annoying. I noticed this when I swapped between iOS and android. You can get apps to allow for finer control but they are a bit of a PITA. Test it with a friends apple device.
Something like this may help
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume&hl=en_GB
So, I'm still farting around with this. Found this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume
It allows you to separate out System Sounds from the other sounds. It makes the sounds we talked about normal again. Thing is, the app has to be running all the time and you have to change volumes inside it. Pro version may be different, but I didn't buy it.
So having said that, there has to be a setting somewhere the I can change that the app is changing. I'm rooted running stock 8.1, so I have access to everything. Just need to find what file to modify.
I'm using this app for lowering lowest volume:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume&hl=en
It's a bit inconvenient, but at least it works.
I haven't tried this, but it seems promising:
No Root Required!
Max Volume - Change the number of volume steps. You can change it to anything between 0 and 1,000,000! By default, Android comes with just 15!
Hi everyone! Just wanted to share with you an app I released a couple days ago called Precise Volume. Thanks to /r/android, I was even able to add a few much-requested features!
If you didn't already know, most Android devices only have 15 volume levels.
This becomes a huge problem when you just can't seem to find a perfect volume. It's either too loud, or not loud enough.
As someone who listens to a lot of music on several different pairs of headphones, this really irritated me.
So I set out to change it.
Precise Volume overrides Android's default number of volume steps, (15 on most devices) giving you 100 (or more) different volumes.
Features:
Gain More Precise Volume Control
- Override Android’s 15 volume steps, giving you much more fine control over your volume.
Create Custom Presets
- Create special presets for use with certain headphones, speakers, apps, etc.
Limit Headphone Volume
- Limit volume while using headphones.
Lock Volume Buttons to Media
- Force volume buttons to use Media by default instead of Ringer. (Go to Advanced Settings to turn this on.)
No Root Required
PRO Features:
Volume Control Notification
- You can enable an ongoing notification that provides quick access to a Precise Volume slider.
Screen Off Override
- Get precise volume even with the screen off.
Automatic Volume
Headphone Automation lets you make it so that when you plug in headphones, a dialog pops up asking you which preset to activate. You can set up a preset for each pair of headphones you own and have it ask you which headphones to use when you plug something into your headphone jack.
Bluetooth Automation lets you activate presets automatically when you connect to a Bluetooth device.
App Automation lets you activate presets as soon as an app is opened. I use it for Google Assistant. I usually keep my volume pretty low but when I use Google Assistant I want my volume to be at the max. I setup a preset for Assistant and set it to revert my volume back to the level it was at before once I leave Assistant again.
Max Volume
- Make volume even MORE precise. For example, 200 is 2x as precise as 100.
Volume Button Increments
- The amount of volume changed when the volume buttons are pressed.
Dark App/UI Theme
- Dark theme for use at night. Also includes an AMOLED black theme.
Audio Curve
- Change how slowly or quickly volume goes from minimum to maximum
Combine All Volumes
- Change all of your volumes at once!
Thanks for checking out my app! I hope it helps someone out. I know it has seriously made music a lot better for me.
I use this one. It does the same thing.

I haven't personally tried it, but this might be something that would help you.
Install this
Hi Reddit! Just wanted to give a little update on my app, Precise Volume! When it initially got popular on Reddit, a lot of people were disappointed to see that it didn't in fact have a good way to control volume precisely while outside of the app using your device's volume buttons. There was always a volume control notification, but for some people that was a hassle. This was due to a lot of limitations in Android itself, and there wasn't really a good way of doing it. I think I've found a pretty decent method of doing it now! It's now in the app, under "Volume Button Override [ALPHA]" - note that it's a PRO feature however, but there are still a ton of features in the app that are completely free.

Hi Reddit! Just wanted to give a little update on my app, Precise Volume!
I released it just 2 weeks ago and thanks to the support of Reddit and a few other communities, the app is now on its way to getting the 100,000 downloads badge on Google Play! I'm speechless.
Since it was released, I have added a lot of new features, such as: Wi-Fi Automation, a full-blown fully-functional Equalizer with a bass boost, surround sound setting, and amplifier, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember right now!
Bottom line, the suggestions help a ton and the app wouldn't be where it is now without them!
Now for my little spiel where I describe the app:

Tons of useful features. I don't want to annoy anyone, so just check the app description! :)
Have you tried this? Note: I have not tried this, but appears to be what you're looking for (if it works).
Check out Precise Volume
You can always use a third party app, personally I use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume
I use Precise Volume: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume
Been using this one for years for precisely that reason...

Precise Volume is a more modern app that achieves the same.
This app works for my pixel 3a, I don't know about the 4 but here's the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume
I found this app that seems to be able to do it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume
I found this app that seems to work for quieting notification noises specifically! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume
I finally found an app that works, at least for separating ringtone and notification, here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phascinate.precisevolume
This can help you temporarily:

Yeah, this doesn't sound fun. Thanks for the input!
I've found this, however, that looks promising.
It's not a podcast app but a volume normalizer app for any app.

Have you tried Precise Volume? I'm using it on my Note 8 for music in the evening so I don't deafen myself.
