IOS quantizes volume increments of 5 (0-5-10) Way to loud.

[Raphie]

When using the Spotify app volume can only increase in steps of 5

so 4,5,6,7 is rounded to app value 5. 8,9,10,11,12 is rounded to app value 10.

basically leaving 3 volumes available on the speaker device 0,5,10 where 0 is no volume, 5 is to soft, 10 is LOUD, 15 is crazy stupid breaking your device loud. This needs fixing. It renders the IOS app USELESS.

naturally the volume intervals are fine for the onboard iphone / ipad speakers, but none of the 3rd pty speaker (in my case KEF LS50 and samsung 2022 soundbars) scale well.

PLEASE NOTE: As soon as the IOS app is closed, volume works as intended on the the device itself. Just to be very clear, it’s the IOS app overuling only allowing and quantizing to these values of 0,5,10,15 etc. USELESS, please fix.

i.e. Starting playing via app, the volume is 5, closing app, manually set volume to 7 on device, the apps pull is the back to 5 as soon as app is started. Closing app again, setting volume manually to 9, starting app pulls it to 10. Ridiculous that this passes QA testing. 😞

easy fix, update app volume increments in steps of +/-1 (100 steps to go from 0% tot 100%) rather than -/+5 (20 steps to go from 0% to 100%)

or create a tickbox to let the user choose between the 2 volume scaling schemes)
