Hello im sorry if someone already posted this before but i had to get it off my chest.
Ive had the motorola triumph since it was introduced and we all know that it has its bugs............especially that sometimes its somewhat low on the volume.
Here are some quick fixes ive come to know and hopefully it will help you guys out:
1. Pause your music for 5 seconds, then play it.
or
2. Take out your earphone plug, wait 5 seconds, plug back, wait another five, then press play.
or(this should work everytime)
3.Start a call, end it, do step 2 or 1.

The above steps should get your volume to ipod levels...if not leave a comment.
Hopefully there will be a permanent fix....till then use the above:)
Update*......it seems that this problem runs across all Android versions from froyo to sandwich.
 
Lol I'm also thinking that the
​
headphones have something to do with how low you experience the volume too. Like I use to have some Sony headphones , and when I experienced the volume bug it would basically force me to do the above steps because I couldn't hear a thing. But now I have a pair of skull candys which barely make a difference in volume wether or not I'm experiencing the bug
 
i made a post about this almost identical to yours about a month back and i listed all the fixes you have, but sometimes i will do all of those and it just won't boost the volume back up and this is really annoying when i'm driving and using my phone to play music. i think it is linked to wifi because if i use wifi the volume won't go back up for about a day, but for sure i know it's linked to notification volume because if you get a notification that plays a sound the music volume will be lowered. i'm very suprised no one has come out with a fix for this bug yet. this one bugs (hehe get it?) me the most out of all of them.

I have a very simple solution... Don't use notification volume. I never experienced the bug, and that's probably because I always have my phone on vibrate and never had the notification sounds on. So if you can just keep your phone on vibrate then you won't have the problem. I understand some people need to have the volume on, but if you don't absolutely need them then don't use them.
 
Putting it on vibrate was a good idea, but I kept missing notifications and texts because the vibration on the triumph isn't very noticeable once in my pocket.................hopefully sometime will come with a blasted fix.

Weird. I have only ever experienced this problem with GB-based ROMs. CM9 and stock-based ROMs have never done this for me. Whenever I have the problem, pausing the music never seems to work. I actually have to STOP the music, then hit play. That has always solved my problem. Whenever I am about to drive, (since I don't look at the screen while driving), I don't care if I miss TXTs or E-mails, so I will just place my phone into silent mode before playing the music. Silent mode has no effect on Media volume.
 
Hello Motorola Triumph Users!!

Ok so I came to this post when I originally purchased my phone and have been using the technique introduced by mikeneo987.

But I often go to my headset so I can jam some music to block out the world and I get the music at about half the volume. And believe me if you are on the bus and some juice head starts yapping about his problems you NEED your music fast before his negative energy completely yanks you down to his level, You need a fix!

So you can unplug your headphones and wait and try again but this doesn't work 100% of the time. Plus as I mentioned, you may only have seconds to get your music playing in time to block out yapping blowhards.

My diagnosis: Any notification, email, text message, phone call etc.. changes the volume setting to some kind of soft, lower, not able to block the world out level.

Solution: I open the little default music widget and hit play. As the music is playing I make a phone call. I use the local movie theater which has an automated answering machine so I'm not bothering anyone. The music will shut off when the call starts. I simply call the number and then hang up. I listen for the low tone beep and the music will resume at the normal level.

I also went into the quick start app menu on the front page. Which is that four by four box button on the bottom left of the phone. Then I clicked the add button to add a shortcut to the home screen. I click the shortcuts and then add a contact to my desktop or wallpaper or whatever they call it.

Then this is the scenario. Rude person starts yapping in front of me. I whip out the headphones. Click play for my favorite jam. Not enough volume no problem. Hit the movie theater contact on the wallpaper. Click call. Music stops. Click end. Volume of music is normal. Crisis is over. Yapper blocked out. I remain in my happy vortex. Thank you world I just solved the problem.

Ok to Motorola. I'm a little disappointed that you made me figure out this work around. But hopefully you are busy developing the next personal high tech gizmo that will give us all joy in the future. So I'll let you off the hook. I'm just so happy I've found a solution because this volume thing was really not pleasant to deal with.

Also people of the internet. If you would be so kind please go to my girl's youtube and subscribe her name is Divamakeupqueen. Thanks that would be nice.

Ok thanks hope this helps. It
