Radio volume control should be better by now

[Mooeymoose]

I have a gen1 rivian and while I love the car overall, I was hoping they would fix the volume control. My issue is I can not control volume well at the low end. I believe the range goes From 0-40 but by 16 the sound is deafening. Also the step up from 1 to 2 is much greater than I would like for a typical audio control. Basically it seems like the control follows quantum rules and not typical Newtonian physics.

Is there a setting fix or am missing or a fix. Otherwise Rivian can you make a smaller volume change between each number.

Funny thing is that it has gotten better.

When they first added Apple Music, 1 was too quiet even when parked, 2 was too loud for city driving, 3 was too loud for highway driving.

It was like the old clock radio I had as a kid, where turning the volume five arcseconds would go from "can't hear it" to "deafening, bordering on blowing out the crappy speaker."

There was a post the other day on this. Reset your equalizer setting to Default and leave it there until your truck goes to sleep. When it wakes up, the volume regulation is fixed and you can reset you equalizer as you wish.

There have been a number of threads on this topic... yes, most of us agree the volume control (levels) needs refinement. The low end steps are way too coarse. I'd like it to take maybe 5 steps to get to a comfortable level.

I have almost the opposite problem, where it takes a lot of turning of the thumb wheel to get it loud enough to hear. I'm usually set to at least 12 in the city and 17 on the highway. I need at least 20 to feel the base. And no, my hearing is just fine.
Oh, this is a launch edition R1T.
I'm not complaining, because I can always get it where I want it. It's just weird how the systems have such variation between vehicles.

One thing to add to this conversation: the volume jump between 1 and 2 is specifically a gen 1 Elevation audio specific problem. Meridian and gen 2 don't suffer from the same issue. At least from my experience

I posted this apparent fix a few days ago, it appears to have worked for a few others.
