Whenever I am home and on my network that contains a MusicCast preamp, the volume slider on my phone defaults to MusicCast. I can find no setting anywhere on the phone or within MusicCast app to fix this. When watching a video on the phone, if I try to adjust volume with aide buttons, it defaults to changing MusicCaat volume everytime. Want to turn down ringer, defaults to MusicCast. You get the picture. Anyone else experiencing this and know of a fix? I currently have an S7 Edge on latest software. Did it on older Android version also

I have never seen that on my Android tablet (cheap Huawei)...
With iOS you can turn it off... have you gone into the advanced settings on your preamp to see if it can be switched off?
Also, are you running a MusicCast widget? If so, nuke it.

This industry is not getting cheaper and cheaper, we're simply convincing ourselves that we have to push the cheapest option to customers.

No widgets. Looked in advanced settings and all other MusicCast settings and see nothing. I should add that this happens when the preamp was powered on and then off. The volume hijack occurs for an extended period after the preamp has been powered off and eventually the MusicCast slider will disappear from the phone. I am not sure how long, but it usually takes overnight before this happens. It seems as though the preamp stays active on the network for a period of time.

Visible, sure- affecting anything else, not sure about that. Have you turned off the app? Can you even do that on an Android?

Closed out app. Phone shows nothing for app being open. But, if you go into app manager and force close, the volume slider will disappear, so the app is staying open in the background. The only setting I see that might affect this is network standby, but disabling this will result in not being able to power the system on from the app.

Have you turned the phone off, left it off for a few minutes and turned it on again? I have had a few instances where I couldn't control the MusicCast, but as soon as I turned WiFi off in my phone and restarted it, I had normal control.

Try reducing the lease time on your router, that may help things?

There's gotta be a setting. It's insane. Today I had the system on while we were doing some weeding after work. I bent down to pull a weed out of the ground and my phone was in my pocket. The volume ramper up all the way.

I’m not an Android guy, but out of the screenshots I’ve seen. I see some have a settings symbol next to the slider, a gear inside a box. Or an arrow pointing down indicating an option screen. Does yours have either?
Also have you removed the app from the phone... test it before reinstating it just to be sure. Then reninstall the app?

I just looked in my MusicCast settings- press on the Settings gear, look for App Settings and scroll down- mine shows 'Control volume with iOS buttons' (I have an iPhone 6).

I guess Apple stuff really IS special. Apple doesn't give you control of what the volume button controls. Android allows you to select volume for ringtone, media, notifications, system sound...The problem I am having is it's defaulting to MusicCast.
