Hi guys,
With new rooms comming around for our x10i, I ask to someone if knows a way to increase earphone and louderspeaker.
I know that is a problem with this equipment but, with new software coming around, certainly there is a way to change settings for that.
In my work I can't use headphone, so this solution is not good for me.
Can anyone help me, or is a problem that no has solution.
Is there any dev that could make a apk to make this possible?
Does I have to buy a new smartphone?
Regards

Any ROM's based on CyanogenMod should have DSP Manager included. You could use that to increase the volume.
Edit:
You could also try looking for Louder Volume Hack in the android market. It's a paid app and I'm not sure if it'll even work with our phone.
DSP Manager do not really increase volume, just have Equalizer and Bass boost
Also louder volume hack will not make much difference as we do not have a custom kernel. However, DSP Manager does make a little bit of difference with the equalizer set right

I've been looking at playback volume issues. I notice that the Android maximum volume on the gen8 is lower than the maximum alsa-supported volume. So one can boost the maximum playback volume a bit by using alsa mixers.
I have a little script that does that, but it uses a modified version of amixer from the alsa-tools package. Unfortunately, I haven't yet found a way to build amixer outside of the giant gen8 buildroots package, which means that due to GPL issues the only way I can redistribute is by including the giant gen8 buildroots. That's annoying. If anybody has a better solution, that would be welcome.
trust me, you don;t want to boost the volume due to the speaker of gen8 is very weak and fragile, even the default maximum volume could break it without much time. I RMA once due to play music at maximum volume, and a lot of other people experience the same thing.
How about the headphones? Can one play through them at max volume? The archos ones seem very quiet.
You could always get one of these (or similar):

True. But a software solution is preferred.
I might just tweak my little hack so it boosts only headphone volume, not internal speaker volume.
A smarter procedure would be to do digital range compression within alsa, and boost the apparent volume without actually boosting the maximum sound output. There are alsa filters for that, but I don't know how easy it is to insert an alsa filter.

If you're able to do this, would you post how?

Sure, but because of the GPL issues mentioned in my original post, it might not be helpful to you unless you've got the Archos Gen8 build environment installed.
This problem has been talked about some time, but I'm not able to find a real solution:
I'm using CM9 with Siyah-kernel. When I use a wired headset, the in-call volume is extremly low. Even at max I cannot understand the other party when I'm outside.
Now, some solutions have been proposed:
* Use STweaks to boost headset volume. That works but also increases the music volume. If I boost it enough so that in-call volume is good, music volume gets hard to control.
* Use the service menu. On my phone I cannot access the audio menu. As I understand, I could flash a different modem (e.g. XXKI3). Can anyone tell me where to download it? All links I found were dead. And anyhow, as I understand these settings are reset on boot. So it's not really a permanent solution.
Is there anything else someone could think of?
I'd really appreciate any ideas.
Best regards
Ole
Folks,
I am experiencing low mic volume output after installing cm-10.1-20130411-EXPERIMENTAL-p5110-M3 on a Samsung Galaxy Tab p5113. The application we are testing is video and in this case the mic volume is really low. This is a tablet to tablet skype like video session. Here the other end perceived very low Audio coming from the Tab with the CM-10.1-20130411-EXPERIMENTAL-p5110-M3. Stock ROM mic levels were fine. I read through a bunch of the forum and saw some folks noting this issue with other older CM builds.
Is there any file/value that I can modify at the OS level to manipulate the Volume output of the Mic?
Any other ROM's that you might recommend that handle mic volume/Audio/Video better than the ROM mentioned above?
Thanks in advance.

Just a follow up, This may help someone..
I was able to install the Alpha Widget app and it has a mic gain control function. Does anyone know what this gain control actually manipulates within the Android OS/Kernel? It would be great to manually manipulate this mic gain at OS / CLI level.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I bought this device to replace a recently deceased Zune HD 64, but I'm finding the audio output really, really poor. It's so quiet.
At the moment I'm running the stock ROM 2.2.2, but I'm looking to improve this as using PowerAmp and it's Replay Gain setting just makes everything sound awful. The best solution I've found is to turn off EQ/Tone/Limit in Poweramp and disable Replay Gain
Is there some way to improve this? Installing a certain ROM for example? Is Direct Volume Control available on other ROMs and does it make any difference at all?
Not sure whether to install another ROM/Root the device as I'm looking for suitable performance & battery life.
Thanks for any replies/help received.

Other than that, disable "Direct Volume Control" in Poweramp. As a result, the maximum volume will stay the same, but the output of the voulme bar will be remarkably more gradual before the maximum is reached. Also, turning the EQ off might help if you want to listen to your music on a "flat" setting, though my advice is to switch to "loud": if distorsion occurs, lower the preamp bar.
I own another Samsung device, but if you browse through the forum I'm sure you can find custom roms containing audio tweaks.

Really? That's odd. When I was just using PowerAmp alone on my 4.0 it made everything sound great (I turned off limit), and yes DVC does make quite the difference. However, my solution is to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223 Viper4Android. You can easily increase the audio output without losing sound quality. However, you need to update your Android OS to at least version 2.3. If you have the Galaxy Player 4.0. You can root it, install a custom kernel and install Voodoo Sound https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.controlapp&hl=en which also can increase the audio output on the player.
