Yes! I feel the exact same. surely there's an easy way to tweak the max headphone volume.
Is it noticeably lower after 2.2 instal than it was with 2.1?
hmm..
Okay im not the only one feeling that.
But what can we do? is there a way to boost the volume? I have tried a few apps that would boost the volume but non worked..
Anyone know how to boost the volume?
Anyone have a solution?? This is driving me crazy!! The volume is set to max and the speakers are screaming, but the music is not loud at all.
Same here and im surprised that no one else thinks this is an issue? My Bose noise cancelling muffs are kinda useless with this.
2.2 318 with perf fix.
Download powerAMP from the market. this will boast up your volume and it has EQ as well as bass & treble.
They balls it up, then you have to pay for an app to sought it out Another reason (YET ANOTHER REASON) not to downgrade to 2.2

Agreed I use mixzing, but the equalizer doesnt do much without distortion. Does anyone know if the louder volume hack apps work? I thought i read that djsteve boosted volume? Or maybe just a dream. LoL

What excactly do the designers at dell do whilst planning the next release?
Visit forums like this.
There a lot of owners using the streak as a mp3 player: OK we'll put a stop to that by removing any decent volume
Ok there's a lot of owners using rebel sim to bypass the unlock: we'll put a stop to that with 2.2
There's a lot of 1.6 users utilising the 5' screen size: we'll put a stop to that with 2.1 and design it so you can fit less icons on a screen
And when we release 2.2 we'll release it with something called stage which wastes even more of the 5' screen size

Lol. Now that's a rant.
I haven't had the streak all too long but it's a fantastic device. . The volume control is really low. But I'm sure Dell will fix it if we head on over to their forums or something. Possibly put in a ticket? I'm going to open a support ticket this week because there are a ton of apps on the market that give me an error 18 message which pisses me off. But I guess I'll open a ticket for this too. Haha.

Gutted, just bought a 2nd gen xmi mini speaker, it sounds truly unbelievable with any other audio device but can hardly hear it with the streak. It's like they've put some avls volume limiter on to save our ears using headphones, it sucks.
Does anyone know of any way to over ride this?

From what I understand through extensive research on the matter, the only way app based volume boosters will work is if you are running a rom which has kernel changes to allow the apps to modify sound.
Louder Volume Hack needs to root!
thought my headphones were buggered. looks like its the streak instead.
Did this ever get fixed? Can't find anythng positive in search.
The pathetic volume from the earphone jack makes the Streak useless as a media tablet - one of its prime selling features!

Yes I noticed this as well. For evo we used DSP manager but im not 100% if we can transfer it over without root, but idk. There are a few apps in the market you could try...
Thanks i don't feel like trying out every app in the market either if someone knows of 1 that does work or have to wait on root but really the media sound is very low when on full.

I just checked the market and it seems we are gonna have to wait for root for any volume hacks to work. But its good the issue has been addressed!
Same here, i noticed that the volume in other apps such as tango and qik video are low too.
Well ill hope when we get root that a rom has a sound hack to boost it.
I tired the 2 on the market they did nothing.HTC really dropped the ball on the sound of the media because i mean they made a 3d phone and to watch movies on it and such and made the sound so low ugggh
It's low for sure.
Anyone else either think all media stuff netflix.youtube etc volume even when maxed is way to low?
And has anyone found any type of fix? if not i guess we wait till root.But man HTC really could have gave a little more volume.
Where's that option I saw in one of the reviews, the setting for SRS?? I'm actually trying to find that review now. hMMm
*Edit* I think you need the headphones for that but still...where is the setting?
Ive been looking but not able to find it but this thing is low even when full so something will need to be done.

I think the SRS is only available when using the default HTC player. When you start up a video you have saved on your device/sd it will have the icon for SRS on the bottom left corner. You touch that to toggle SRS off or on. It does increase the volume to turn it off, but not very much.
Also, even with the EVO4G, I tried every app I could find on the market, and only ever found 1 that increased the volume, and it did so very insubstantially; almost not even a noticeable difference. DSP Manager is the only thing I've seen that actually worked. Root is required, and not sure that it would work on the E3D regardless.
We'll just have to wait it seems.
Important and accurate thread. Any chance this could be fixed via a firmware update from HTC?
And i know this is a little off topic but isn't Android sort of SUPPOSED to be open-source-y? So why the run around and root wars? I dream of a world where you can press 1 button for root access but must sign a waiver/void I'd warranty to do so. Have to do it un-store so not a bunch of idiots will just click w/o reading.
Of course even in that world a lot of us would obviously STILL try to do a root under the radar...
Stock EVO and stock evo3d are so far apart in media sound.Same youtube video on both first the evo i have to almost turn it down from full and with the evo 3d i have to hold it near me to even hear it.Worlds apart.

Well,then your OG Evo had a blown speaker in it or something. Because this thing is night and day compared to the Evo 4G.
Sent from that EVO3D Thingy...I need an asprin.
I thought I was crazy when I needed to put my ear up to the phone when playing back a message from Google Voice as I didn't think it was actually coming out of the back speaker. It sure was.
Man we need a fix!
Hello,
I am glad I am not the only one who has noticed this. The EVO 4G could get quite loud almost on par with many Tablets I have seen, the 3D does not get nearly as loud.
SRS is a simulated surround Codec and have not noticed a huge change when using it. At first, I thought it might be the Otterbox Defender, but I took it out and the volume is still awfully low.
Cheers,
JJ
im afraid there prob. isn't a fix for this,its just a small speaker..I think if it gets pumped up it will blow...The quality coming out of it as it is is already on the verge of crackling
I went into the sound settings, turned off pocket mode, then moved the sound sliders all the way up. This seemed to help with my low volume issue.

May not be compatible yet. You'll notice other apps as well aren't sized properly yet to fit our higher resolution(SpeedTest). It's not even a week old, give it time. You can try Equalizer from the market for your volume, it has helped a lot. Anyways, congratz on your new phone and lower monthly bill

Once you tweak the EQ's, I believe it's for all volume of the phone. The presets are for media and headphones(I think?) My ringtones do seem louder and even the weather sound effects are louder. It does work, give it a try...it's free
i tried it ..didnt help ...i hope when they root the phone they fix the volume and the battery life and full screen caller id ..these are essential to me ...thx

Look in the development area for this phone to see how to access the volume control of the sound files on the phone. You can make them much louder that way.
For those of you having audio hissing issues I have a suggestion for you. I also noticed the annoying hissing lately and it really bothers me when I'm using my headphones. I tried going to settings, then sound, and adjusting the media effects and it made hissing worse. I found this really neat app that lets you choose preset audio eq defaults and its pure bad assery! No hissing and my headphones and speaker sounds are way better! I use the Latin preset and wow. I'm on the stock rom rooted and it works fine. My buddy is on photon CM7 and he said it works for him too (just like DSP). Try searching the market for equalizer (free).
So when using this to listen to music etc make sure you disable the photons stock eq settings.
I wanted to try the app, but the installation gets stuck at "installing" in Market. My photon is using the stock rom and is rooted. Reboot does not make any difference. This is the first time I had an app not installing for no reason.

Welcome to my world, buddy. The Photon is only great when it works, and this is only another reason why I'm getting a replacement device from Motorola.
@OP, try blowing out your headphone's port, and taking out your battery for 30 secs, sometimes that worked for me, but then it came back. If it bothers you a lot, call Motorola, and they will send you a free replacement, or send you to your nearest Sprint Customer Advantage Repair Center.
Thanks so much that worked great

I never had this issue, probally because the stock one was already disabled? Downloading now.
Edit: Here I go again, telling another man I love him!! I don't know if it was my stupidy (stock EQ disbled) or what, before if I was listening to music and I wanted to lower/higher the volume, I had to wake the phone up to do it. This app just cured that problem!!!! I set it for Hip-Hop and enabled Bass Booster, Nice!!!
Yeah I think I could get a replacement for the hissing but man I really don't want to start over lol. Also I know for a fact mine is brand new they would just give me a dumb refurb. As for now the eq app has eliminated the hissing.

Hello All,
I wanted to buy an SIII but I went to the store and listened to the musice through my apple in the ear headphones. The volume is not quite loud enough for me. I checked the settings and noticed that the were all maxed. My Iphone4 is louder but I want the SIII any network version here in the UK.
I also looked at the HTC One Audio Beats which was perfect, but I really want the SIII.
The audio limiter rules in Europe go against me because of my disabiltiy and I just wish there was a way to make it louder to cover my hearing loss. I wear hearing aids but take them to and use headphones to listen to music.
Do I write off the SIII or is there someway around it?
Grateful to anyone who might be able to help.?

Since you're posting on XDA, I'm assuming you'll be rooting your phone. If so, then yes there is a mod that will greatly increase the phone's volumes for earpiece, speaker, headset, headphones and dock. Mod is located here. It is a popular mod for those of us who prefer a much louder phone, and this fix is even baked into some custom ROMs.

There's a mod called GVM 1.0.2 for S3 Int, if you're rooted. If you root and want warranty work, you need to reset counter to 0 with triangle away and flash stock Rom using mobile odin, then del your root apps like mobile odin etc

Change the kernel to either Siyah or franco.Kernel
They have the voodoo sound in it which can like boost the headphone/earphone volume by a lot.
Another way is to use a headphone amp but seriously using the above method is super loud already.

The only thing is the ringer sound. Before I consider root it, does anyone know where I can get a Old Style Telephone ring ring tone from? Preferably volume maxed?
I cannot hear the supplied tone because of their frequency and the old style ring ring always seems to work best.
I am happy to pay for the ringtone. :laugh:

Read the disclaimer for the qpst. Setting the tab all the way up to four has the potential to blow out your phone's speakers. Three is the best bet. As always you do this at your own risk and nobody is responsible if you mess up your phone. Don't mean to sound like a douche but I had to tell somebody off for smarting off to me about using qpst.
actually if you put your ear RIGHT UP TO THE PHONE it'll sound louder! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!?!?!?!? lol. now if you actually read the manual.. I think it actually says something like you have to hold your phone at least an inch away from your head or you'll die of the rays coming out of your phones. lol! QPST is ****ty software. I'm not paying to use it.
I am only trying to help another xda member. Please do not post replies saying that a question is unintelligent.

I have tried different apps to increase the volume (both speaker and headphone) of my Evo3D, but I never actually felt any difference. Only difference I felt was when I installed Mwakious's Roms with his sound enhancements, there was a bit of an increase, I have to admit. You guys should give it a shot, seems better than those Google Play apps that you need to pay in order to receive... nothing
