I have a Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket. Everytime I unplug my headphones/auxiliary cord from my phone and plug it back in, the media volume gets lowered to about 60%, system-wide, regardless of media player. As much as I appreciate that Android is looking out for my hearing, I don't want it to do this. Any way to prevent the phone from lowering the volume of its own accord?

Maybe have a look in the settings of your media player. And more details would be helpful like: which media player? which phone? – masterjo Dec 11 '11 at 23:09

There is a setting "Limited Headphone Volume" or something it should prevent too loud sound. You can toggle it in Settings->Sounds, i'm using CM10 but i'm not sure if it works on other ROMs(ie Touchwiz) – wayback Sep 13 '12 at 15:21
@wayback no such luck on default ROM. – jm2 Sep 13 '12 at 15:43

I'd say this is solvable with an automation tool like Tasker, Llama & Co. Rawly described profile:

Condition: Headphones plugged
Action: Set audio level to X

Where "audio level" in many cases (at least with Tasker) can be defined more specific (e.g. different levels for notification, alert, incoming call...) -- and "X" being the specific level you'd like it to have.

This done, everytime you plug your headphones in, you'll have the same media volume you've defined.
