User volume control when switching from one external input port to another is provided. Once a user request to switch from one input port to another is received by an electronic user device, a determination may be made as to whether there is a stored user-defined default volume level that corresponds to the user requested or selected input port. If so, this previously-stored user-defined default volume level may be retrieved from memory and used to adjust the current volume setting of the electronic user device. Once the volume level has been adjusted in accordance with the user-defined default information, the user electronic device may then switch to the requested input port in accordance with the user's request.
