digital volume displays
When I’m listening to a radio with a digital volume display, I can’t listen with the volume at an odd number. I don’t know why, exactly— it’s as though the volume is uneven. A volume of 15, clearly, means the volume will be 8 on the left speaker and 7 on the right. And the right speaker will make up for the lack of volume with a shrill whydon’tyoulikemeasmuchastheleftspeaker? sound. I assume. I’ve never actually left the volume uneven long enough to find out.

I have to have the volume at 1, 3, or multiples of 5. I’m beginning to get over it, though.
I do this, too! But in my mind, multiples of five are okay, too. But I can’t listen to anything ending in 1, 3, 7 or 9.
I also must have the volume displaying an even number, on the radio … the TV … my winamp player … if someone else turns the volume up or down in my car while I’m driving I have to check right after they do it that it’s set to an even number …
Sometimes I manage to overcome this … but mostly I think it’s just easier giving in.
I just posted the exact same thing! I only listen on volumes that end with 0,2,5, and 8.
Me too. My sister, completely independently, only allows odd numbers. That doesn’t make any sense.
my friend does that also; whenever I am driving, and change the volume, he reaches for the radio right after me to “set things right”. If he is sitting behind and he can’t reach the radio for some reason, he asks that someone sets it to an even number. If it isn’t done quickly, he really gets upset.
I can only deal with numbers that are factors of three.
My volume has to be a either multiple of five, or two, eight, or thirteen; it depends what the thing is.
Thank God!! There are others like me. My volume has to be in increments of 5, or even numbers only.
