Why not give finer level of control?

Also a bit unrelated, but the lowest volume earphone output on many devices I had was just too damn loud. My current phone included, at least I can fix it with the music player’s EQ.

Edit: Probably shouldn’t have used “and/or” in this case, but just “or”. Oh well…

Edit 2: Fixed. Hopefully the new image gets loaded too.

    Just got a new car and the sound system volumes are really confusing.

    5 is for very quiet listening when you still want to hear vehicle and outside sounds while windows and roof are closed.

    8 is loud enough to make you miss outside and some vehicle sounds but you can still talk to people in the vehicle albeit kinda louder than casual conversation.

    10 is not different enough from 8 unless it’s a quieter song that needs the bump up.

    12 is loud enough to get listening fatigue on long drives and drown out most vehicle sounds. Yelling required to talk to passengers.

    15 is noticeably distorted and gets dangerous for more than a few minutes.

    20 is blown out and not recommended ever.

    The maximum volume of the system is 99.
