How To Unlock/Rmove the Volume Lock of the HiBy R1

  • November 2, 2024
  • kesobie

VIDEO TUTORIAL:

Due to regulations in EU and China on audio/visual communication devices, HiBy has locked the volume of the R1 (and other music players) to just 54. Most people who listen at a reasonable volume should find the volume adequate, but this will not be enough for high volume listeners

Thankfully, I found a way to unlock this by unlocking the developer’s option of the DAP

In order to unlock the volume;

STEP 1: Head to the About Section of the R1

STEP 2: Spam the HiBy logo until it says that you’re a developer

STEP 3: Go back to the main page

STEP 4: Go to the settings

STEP 5: Scroll down until you find developer settings and press it

STEP 6: Untick the volume lock

You should be able to go beyond 54 volume on your R1 freely. 

Enjoy your high-volume listening! (please take care of your ears)
