SoundAssistant for Samsung Galaxy gives you app-specific volume controls
SoundAssistant by Good Lock Labs is a free sound application for Samsung Galaxy devices. The main feature of the app gives you control over the sound volume, including options to change the volume of individual apps.
Sound controls on Android lack flexibility on many devices. Want to turn off the sound for one app while keeping sound enabled on another? Good luck with that. Imagine listening to a podcast or music while playing a game. Muting the audio of the game only is challenging and may require the installation of apps that give you better control over sound on the device.
If you have a Samsung Galaxy device, you may download SoundAssistant for that purpose. The app is free to use and includes that option and several others.
Plenty of options are displayed when you start the app. A tap on "Individual App volumes" opens a new page in the app. Here you may add apps with a tap on the plus button and the selection of the app from the list of installed ones. Once an app has been added, you may change the default volume using the slider attached to it. T
Volume can be set to a value between 0 and 100, with 100% being the default. To mute an app, move its slider to the 0%. Everything else is handled by the application automatically in the background.
The ability to change the volume of individual Android apps is just one of the features of SoundAssistant.
There is an option to adjust the volume changing rate. By default, the volume is increased by 10 steps up or down, depending on your selection. You may change the steps value to change how volume is incremented or decremented when you activate the volume controls on the device. Set it to 1 to gain full control over the volume or to any other value between 1 and 10.
Multi sound is another useful feature. Use it to select apps that may play sound on the device regardless of other apps that may play sound. Just activate the feature and add apps that are installed on the device to the allow list.
Another useful feature gives you control over alerts when using headphones. The default has notifications enabled, but you may remove these or add ringtones and alarms to the mix. Don't want to be disturbed when using headphones? Turn notifications off in that case to achieve that.
The application supports the creation of custom vibration patterns for notifications and the ringtone. These custom patterns are added by the user by tapping on the screen. The app picks the taps up and turns them into vibration patterns.
SoundAssistant includes a number of extra features that you may enable. Enable the voice changer to apply effects to the microphone, or the ability to sync Bluetooth sound for videos.
Options to customize the volume panel, download volume panel colors or create your own color set are also provided, but some of these require the installation of a theme package.
SoundAssistant is a useful app for Samsung Galaxy devices that gives you more control over sound playback and the volume on the device. The app is only available for Galaxy devices, unfortunately.
Now You: do you use sound apps on your devices?
Uhh, this has already been possible – I am not sure how but remember my brother telling me about it. I’m not a whatsapp user so not sure of the specifics, but something about sending the image as a file and somehow bypassing the default compression settings that are applied to inbound photos.
He has also used this to share movies to whatsapp groups, and files 1Gb+.
Like I said, I never used whatsapp, but I know 100% this isn’t a “brand new feature”, my brother literally showed me him doing it, like… 5 months ago?
Martin, what happened to those: 12 Comments (https://www.ghacks.net/chatgpt-gets-schooled-by-princeton-university/#comments). Is there a specific justifiable reason why they were deleted?
Hmm, it looks like the gHacks website database is faulty, and not populating threads with their relevant cosponsoring posts.
The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk that it’s about to be deleted from my ‘daily reads’.
It’s really like “Press Release as re-written by some d*ck for clicks…poorly.” And the subjects are laughable. Can’t wait for “How to search for files on Windows”.
> The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk…
Sadly, I have to agree.
Only Martin and Ashwin are worth subscribing to.
Especially Emre Çitak and Shaun are the worst ones.
If ghacks.net intended “Clickbait”, it would mark the end of Ghacks Technology News.
Ghacks doesn’t need crappy clickbaits. Clearly separate articles from newer authors (perhaps AIs and external sales person or external advertising man) as just “Advertisements”!
We, the subscribers of Ghacks, urge Martin to make a decision.
because nevermore wants to “monetize” on every aspect of human life…
“Threads” is like the Walmart of Social Media.
How hard can it be to clone a twitter version of that as well? They’re slow.
Yes, why not mention how large the HD files can be?
Why, not mention what version of WhatsApp is needed?
These omissions make the article feel so bare. If not complete.
Sorry posted on the wrong page.
such a long article for such a simple matter. Worthless article ! waste of time
I already do this by attaching them via the ‘Document’ option.
I don’t know what’s going on here at Ghacks but it’s obvious that something is broken, comments are being mixed whatever the article, I am unable to find some of my later posts neither. :S
Quoting the article,
“As users gain popularity, the value of their tokens may increase, allowing investors to reap rewards.”
Besides, beyond the thrill and privacy risks or not, the point is to know how you gain popularity, be it on social sites as everywhere in life. Is it by being authentic, by remaining faithful to ourselves or is it to have this particular skill which is to understand what a majority likes, just like politicians, those who’d deny to the maximum extent compatible with their ideological partnership, in order to grab as many of the voters they can?
I see the very concept of this Friend.tech as unhealthy, propagating what is already an increasing flaw : the quest for fame. I won’t be the only one to count himself out, definitely.
@John G. is right : my comment was posted on [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/23/what-is-friend-tech/] and it appears there but as well here at [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/07/08/how-to-follow-everyone-on-threads/]
This has been lasting for several days. Fix it or at least provide some explanations if you don’t mind.

Firefox did this long before Safari.
Basically they’ll do anything except fair royalties.
