Volume turns up to max by itself constantly

[andywhite890]

I have Spotify premium family membership. As of today the volume keeps shooting up to max constantly by itself on all my familys accounts. It's super annoying any help would be great.

Oh and 2020 wrapped still ain't working.

Did you find any solution to this? I have the same problem, only at 1 AM. 😬

[Maemimus]

Is this ever going to be resolved? It's been years of this tread and I'm tired of listening to my music on a calm low volume only to have it spike to 100 without my doing. @Spotify it's not a user issue- this is clearly an app issue please fix

I've been having this problem past month. In my case, I think (?) it's related to 2 ppl logged in to the same account under our Family plan (sometimes accidentally, sometimes on purpose). We both have the Spotify and Sonos apps installed on our phones. When one member (let's call them the less technically literate one) raises their phone volume for some other purpose, it turns it up in the house. 

I'm not sure though if it's a Spotify or a Sonos problem. I think we'll test that next.

Either way, should be easy to understand separation between a controller and selected listening devices and either prompt (are you sure?) or outright prevent this when too far apart.

Could there be some 

[Skallagrimsson]

Thank you so much for responding. I don't have any other users on my account, and this is happening on my phone. Typically in the middle of the night, and of course I wake up immediately, and have problems falling to sleep again. 😑

We also have this behavior and we also have Sonos.  Now it just happened when having both app working.  In the Spotify app, hit next song then pressed the lock button on the android phone - immediately went to 100% with the screen locked.  Happened many times over the course of a few years.

Then it's the struggle to unlock the phone etc..  actually I came to believe when I hit the lower volume button it spikes right up!  

What a freaking annoying behavior.  It sure can damage pur ears AND VERY COSTLY EQUIPMENT!

Why not have a built in routine that prevents such thing within Spotify?  Or a max 70% volume setting that insure if the behavior is there or anyone accidentally zoom the volume to infinity it won't go higher than a set volume %?  They make billions and can't even figure something that simple?  Jeez.  It's just commen sense!  A health security feature.

I have this issue both on my iPhone and iPad. If I have Spotify playing via the app in my sound system,  and I have another app or feature open in my device, for example timer to do physical exercise, and the timer runs to zero and the timer signal goes off and I press the screen to turn it off, music volume shoots to max and my ears are gone. Same thing if I’m filming a video with my phone or pad and turn it off, the music may jump to full volume. It doesn’t do it always, so it’s nerve wrecking. To prevent this I’m using Spotify and nothing else on a given device. So I have Spotify on in the iPad and timer on my phone, for example. Multitasking on one device seems to cause my issue.

Spotify please review and fix your code. You are damaging Hi-Fi equipment !!

I fixed it by deactivating the equalizer, on my phone, on my computer, on my tablet.. Then clear cache, new reinstall and the problem was gone

[111uminati]

Can confirm reinstalling Spotify fixed the issue for me

[communityname]

I experience this on iOS with Spotify's app, especially when using a bluetooth speaker. When opening Spotify, switching between apps or pausing/playing music Spotify will often seem to not stay consistent with the device's volume. The Spotify app will ignore the speaker's hardware button volume adjustments or any prior volume adjustment in iOS, start playing at max volume and only the phone's side button volume controls will work to turn it down.

My Question or Issue

Le son de spotify augmente très fort de manière aléatoire lorsque j'avance la musique pareil lorsque je change de musique, lorsque je touche au bouton volume le son se remet dans son état normal d'utilisation

[RVHS]

Not for me. It didn't help.

[Rockeros]

Reinstal didn't help - while listening quiet on headphones I move slider forward or backwar volume goes max. Even if in OS Android is set to mute. Android is muted, but Spotify is max level loud until I move phone volume. Then it comes set propetly, until I move the song forward/backward again, Then it goes max again. Help... 

[ProbablyHaystack]

I had this problem, solved by going to Settings>Playback>Equaliser and turning it off (with the slider on the upper right corner).

I never had it on my Bluetooth speakers, but had it on my Poco X3 Pro using the internal speakers since I updated to MIUI 13 (Android 12). It would happen maybe once every 6-8 times when I move the slider around or click on another line in the lyrics to jump around in the song. It would also happen sometimes when a song ends and another one begins. The volume shoots up to max and pressing the volume up or down button resets the volume to the previous level (or maybe one higher/lower than the previous, but it's not maxed out anymore).

Please leave a like if you had the same problem and turning the equaliser off solves it for you. A comment saying "turning the equaliser works for me" or "doesn't work for me" would also help the developers figure out if there are multiple similar problems or not.

Imagine being a multi billion dollar music player company who can do all kinds of fancy AI stuff but fails to keep volume at a constant level or won't let you adjust the playback speed
