Android Question Why the MediaPlayer vuolume is always high?

[CyclopDroid]

Although I set volume to a minimum on my Haier W910 smaphone the volume always feels high.
I write:

Dim Musica as MediaPlayer
musica.Initialize2("musica")
musica.Load(File.DirAssets,"Musica.mp3")
musica.Looping=True

musica.SetVolume(0.2,0.2)
    If Main.NoSound=False Then musica.Play

...if I change the value into SetVolume (1,1 or 0.1,0.1, etc), nothing change, and the sound play at the same height.
Why? How do you wrong?
Thanks

Try changing the MUSIC channel volume with Phone.SetVolume.

Thanks Erel,
I already use the Phone.SetVolume using the keys + and -:

Sub Activity_KeyPress(KeyCode As Int) As Boolean
Dim temp As Int
'Intercetta il volume e lo regola
  Select KeyCode
  Case KeyCodes.KEYCODE_VOLUME_DOWN
  temp = Main.Phone1.GetVolume(Main.Phone1.VOLUME_MUSIC)
  If temp > 0 Then temp = temp - 1 Else temp = 0
  Main.Phone1.SetVolume(Main.Phone1.VOLUME_MUSIC, temp, True)
  Return True
  Case KeyCodes.KEYCODE_VOLUME_UP
  temp = Main.Phone1.GetVolume(Main.Phone1.VOLUME_MUSIC)
  If temp < Main.Phone1.GetMaxVolume(Main.Phone1.VOLUME_MUSIC) Then
  temp = temp + 1
  Else
  temp = Main.Phone1.GetMaxVolume(Main.Phone1.VOLUME_MUSIC)
  End If  
  Main.Phone1.SetVolume(Main.Phone1.VOLUME_MUSIC, temp, True)
  Return True
   End Select
   End If

Return True
End Sub

but I've three MediaPlayer sound (two special effect and one music sound background).

If I change the Phone.SetVolume, I do not lower all the volumes at the same time?

Phone.SetVolume will change the volume of all media players.

MediaPlayer.SetVolme should change the specific media player volume. I don't know why it doesn't work on your device. You can try to use SoundPool for the shorter sounds. It also allows you to change the volume.

Thaks Erel, but the SoundPool not working propelly. Into emulator, the MediaPlayer, it's Ok... only in my Smartphone have a problem
I think to continue at use MediaPlayer and, when my game is complete, I want to test from other SmartPhone.
