4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 20, 22, 25, 30, 33, 36, 40, 44, 50, 55, 60, 66, 70, 77, 80, 88, 90, 99
Regardless of if 30, 50 or 100 is max. 13, 14, 16, 18 can be used if absolutely necessary, may get the volume right, but will have to live with the ‘dial’ is unbalanced.
22??? Huh??
Yup. You’re definitely replying to a bot
The odd numbers are the correct numbers. The even numbers are just there to spread out the odd numbers.
What if it’s a multiple of 5?
Obviously that’s ok since it’s an even half of 10.
Ending on a 4 or 6 is as bad as ending on a 1 or 9.
Ending in a 4 is good actually because it invokes the pleasant feeling of writing a 4
Must end in an even number or 5, but cannot end in 4 or 6.
So 2, 5, 8, 0?
Do people really care about this kinda stuff? I just turn it up till I feel like it’s right. I honestly don’t even need the numbers
I don’t see any number or visual cues with the way I got my system setup, it’s great. I would not care either and would just set it where I think the volume is the best, that can definitely be one specific level and not the next or previous.
I like to leave the volume on mersenne numbers if i can.
What if its prime?
I only do prime numbers; even, odds, multiples of fives… nope, those don’t sit right with me, only primes. It just makes sense to me and always has.
I’ll die on this hill…
I don’t use Amazon.
Optimus can do whatever he wants since he’s technically a machine.
1,2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19 are the only volumes.
My soundbar just has lights, so there’s no number to get anal about.
Does it have an even number of them?
The lights each have bright and dim settings, so I guess you could be anal about none of them being dimmed.
The volume should be at 0, that’s how loud it’s intended to be. Fuck the neighbors.
CREATORS INTENT.
I do agree, volume levels should be displayed and adjusted in decibels, straight assed numbers with no actual corresponding scale are asinine. I will die on this hill.
And the decibels should be relative to the reference level, otherwise it’s still meaningless.
Sometimes you need to go to 11 though.
I feel like we are destined to be friends.
This is some autistic shit. I say this as an autist.
I now imagine ad-like comment.
This is very autistic.

My car works perfectly with multiples of 5, so I prefer that. But you guys wanna hear something really fucking sick? I played a game where the volume would increase with DECIMAL POINTS. And it was borderline impossible to get to a whole number. It was always 8.17 or something. The devs were clearly some kind sociopath. Anyway, I noticed in the last update they changed it to whole numbers, so apparently enough people explained that that sort of thing is just insanity.
Why is it insanity?
If that doesn’t feel wrong in your brain, I can’t explain it.
Yes, officer, this guy right here
My new TV maxes out at 120 and I hate it. What sort of scale is that?
Especially considering that anything in excess of about 12 is deafening.
My car uses an even more fucked scale. It tops out at 63, of all numbers.
I was thinking maybe it has to do with 0-63 being 64 numbers which could be a small convenient bit storage. But that’s 6 fucking bits which as far as I know nothing really stores in values lower than a byte. Maybe there is some chip somewhere and 6 bits are used for volume and the other bits are getting used for other things. It’s still a very weird value to have
Even a fucking boolean is stored in a byte.
Hyundai?
Mazda
It’s because the volume is stored in a 2^6
My Corolla goes up one from 63 to “max” , which is a number I’ve never heard of.
120 is way better than 100
It’s a multiple of every number you can count on your hands except for 7 and 9
A direct improvement over 100, which misses out on 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9 (half of them!)
the main reason why feet are 12 inches and great for carpentry math… divisible by 1,2,3,4, and 6
120 has a lot of factors. It’s a good number for a lot of situations. But IDK why it would be desirable to be able to set the TV to one sixth of its max volume when sound doesn’t scale linearly anyway.
This is why the objectively right way to display volume is how most avr’s do it, in decibels.
37 sounds the best. Cope.
35 is for when the kid is in the truck.
45 is for my damaged hearing by myself.
60 is all the way up, bass boost off, most songs don’t distort the sub.
