Integer multiples of prime factors?
I think 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, and 38.
not sure how you arrived at that list or what your question means, was trying to point out that x is a divisor of y when y/x is an integer.
Is that a thing people get upset about? I've just been turning the volume up or down until it sounds right this whole time like a fool 😰
i 3d printed something to cover my car's radio display. it only functions as an aux input to my phone anyway, literally the only thing it does is output audio and have a volume knob. there's no need to have it lit up in my car interior destroying my night vision with its tacky fake VFD-style panel backlit with 2005-cool-tier blue LEDs.
...that was my rationale I came up with for why I made and installed it, which I would give other people who asked. in actuality, it's because I can't see the volume number anymore. what I don't know won't hurt me. I'm free.
Ever since I made an analog audio setup for my computers I have been really happy about not having to worry about volume number niceness
No no no, we're not fools, its the people afraid of odd numbers who are the fools, lol the number 3 can't hurt you, you bloody weirdos.
Multiples of 3. Multiples of 5 is too large a jump on most systems. Multiples of 3 gives satisfying sound and visuals.
The receiver attached to my TV let's me do ½ volume numbers. It's great to raise the volume to 45.5. 😈
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…
That’s so brilliant it seems obvious in hindsight. This isn’t a thing where I live. I’ve now checked SimpleHuman’s product line since it seems like their kinda thing, and nope. Google is telling me it’s a UK and Australia thing? I need one now.
Ah found my family. Usually i watch shows at 17 or 19, but the whispery ones need to go up to 29, or even 31
I'd allow 51 just because it's divisible by 17 and I think that's neat (but my TV only goes up to 50)
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.
I would like TVs to offer a custom scale. Where the minimum and maximum values are reasonable, but the numbers are proportionate.
Legally mandated support for:
- Odds only
- evens only
- primes only
- Gould’s sequence (too quiet? You’ll double the volume at some point)
- Bernoulli Numbers (too noisy outside, the TV will make it quiet)
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.
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
Right? A 6bit number makes so little sense. Where'd the other bits go, what did they do with them, why can't we have a full byte??
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.
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
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.

I now imagine ad-like comment.

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.
Hah. I have to have my volume set to multiples of 8 because I got so used to doing bit conversions and using systems where I octets are used. Even DooM and the old DooM editors used multiples of 8 for things like floor heights and texture sizes.
