I have searched and found many threads about in-call volume etc but none seem to cover what i'm about to ask
I have powerAmp full edition, love it - but even with the EQ boosted, when i connect to my car via bluetooth and play music my phone is still at least 25% less volume than my wife's HTCDesire - and she just uses the native music player...
I have read on some threads that you can purchase the "louder Volume Hack"
But it clearly states that it does not support "Any SE devices"
lastly there is "DSP" (i think its called!) which works with the 2.2+ custom Roms.
So - the questions are:
can anyone confirm that the volume hack works with x10i 2.1 - and if so, does it compliment the EQ in power amp (i.e - will i see an improvement over and above poweramp)
Is dsp available for 2.1 (i have the flashable zip from Wolfbreaks cm 4.3 but am not sure if it is 2.1 compatible) and again - does it compliment PowerAmp?
I will happily pay the extra for an app that can improve my music experience - but am not willing to "wing-it"!!! Any advice greatly appreciated

I can confirm that DSP didn`t work with my ears. I´ve posted almost the same question a few months back, and most of the users say that improves a little the volume. so i can confirm that i must had wax in the ears cause i didn`t see any difference
I Don`t think that will work on 2.1 android versions but not sure.
Don`t really know a REAL good app/tweak/whatever that will improve sound on X10 until bootloader is cracked

Does anyone have problems with the volume 30 step mod? Like you would keep upping the volume and the volume would sometimes increase and decrease? It's hard to explain but you'll know what I mean if you have it.
Would the original 2.3.5 framework.jar work for Darkside rom?
Does anyone have this original framework.jar or maybe even the original darkside framework.jar unmodded?
Thanks.

Some people said they have problem with poweramp.
Try other music app like google music app or playerpro.
Its a problem with poweramp only as far as I have experienced. You can go to its settings and uncheck direct volume to fix it but that makes poweramp sound quality a bit bad.
I switched to playerpro; problem solved.
Well that sucks that I can't use Poweramp, because I actually paid for it.
Guess I have to disable direct volume since all of Nottaches latest ROMs support this mod.
I'll check out playerpro.
Will this problem ever be addressed? Can't seem to find a solid player that supports FLAC.
I've already looked around at various options for boosting the volume on the phone, and I've run into issues at every point:
I've seen people reply to these threads saying that it's the headphones at fault: My headphones are fine. I'm comparing volume to an HTC Desire, and the SGS2 is distinctly lacking. And yes; I have plugged my headphones in fully
Another common reply seems to be that MIUI volume is higher than Stock so there is no issue. There is an issue: it's quieter than an HTC Desire!
Using *#197328640# to access Service Menu -- I'm running MIUI and therefore do not have the stock dialer, so codes don't seem to work. I could flash the stock ROM, do the code, fix the volume, but apparently the setting is lost after reboot -- so flashing MIUI after that is certainly going ot lose any settings.
I had a go with a couple of apps off the market, with low expectations, and they didn't work either.
I'm rooted (of course) and reasonably tech-savvy so I'm quite comfortable with a Linux system and ADB, quite happy to hack and patch. Is there any (permanent) fix I can apply to increase the volume? I'd prefer something fairly elegant, like applying the Service Menu options manually (somehow) at boot.
Have you tried Voodoo Louder?
Great tip, I wonder how I didn't find a reference to Voodoo before... I just bought the app and it seems to be working as expected!
Thanks a lot I'll test it through the day!
try the fix that in my signature then if u like to use voodoo louder u ear will blown lol
^^
+10000000000000 this ;-) Have been using Yahyoh's fix for a while now, have tried Voodoo Louder but this little app increases volume much more & also gives a "fuller"/less hollow sound.
Thanks for this info yahyoh, it's quite interesting that it's using
Code:
# alsa_amixer sset Headphone 31
I had a quick look (via BTEP) and found the names of the devices:
Master
Headphone
Speaker
Side Tone (NB. my previous research suggests playing with this will create echos in phonecalls -- so probably don't play with it!)
There are a bunch of others; I got the list via
Code:
# alsa_amixer | grep '^Simple mixer'
I am slightly wary of this solution, however, since it sounds like it keeps executing these "sset" commands on a regular basis (every second or so) and it doesn't seem like that elegant a solution. I'll stick with Voodoo for now, and if it isn't enough, I'll revisit this modification of the ALSA settings.
I'll pay special attention to the warmth of the sound, too, as I've installed the CyanogenMod DSP Manager, so thanks for the tip MistahBungle

Does that fix work on MIUI ROMs?
OP says he's running that, fix says for AOSP ROMs.

Yeah it will; MIUI is AOSP, as is CyanogenMod (which MIUI is based upon).

As I found out after clicking on link
Apologies - I'm stupid today - bloody toothache
Yea the volume is way to low. I would love a fix. No programs
There is no fix without a program. That little app of Yahyoh's doesn't work with ICS, Voodoo Louder will give you up to 6dB extra volume with headphones/headset.
Does this increase system volume also?
would like to know this as well
the sgs2 just becomes picker with headphones - you gotta go with low impedance models. something like < 20ohms
I've Searched much about it before thinking open a thread, but I got nothing wich could help me.
Is there a way to boost music volume when using BT Headphones ? I'm on android 4.3 ProBam v4.4.2. tried few kernel ( like boeffla to adjust the sound volume but it doesn't seems to affect BT Sound)
Tried also alot of others version and roms 4.2.2 and 4.1.2 still no good.
the mod wich actually boost a little the volume was Viper4Android. but I got just a "little up" from the level I was.
My question is... is there anything I could do to boost the volume up using BT Headphones ?

Try Volume+ from market
See new Sound guide in General.

There is little you can do about bluetooth volume. Unlike Speaker, Wired headphones etc, these are not limited to the kernel. It is limited by the bluetooth module and it is controlled independently. Whetever you have now, is what you're stuck with pretty much.
in DSP manager on AOSP roms, it's possible with a few tweaks to the EQ, you may be able to simulate a louder volume. People advised me to try things with modified DSP managers. Such as MegaBeats. It increased bass, but didnt give more volume.
Yeah, i was kinda exprectin that.
but yet, thank you guys for your help
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.
Hello everyone!
So I've come across an annoying issue, which is why audio plays back differently on different ROMs. For example, I'm currently on miui 8, and the playback volume gets loud to where the bass is distorted (using viper4android). Now if I have the same setup on a different ROM, the audio seems to be suppressed(namely, the bass). So I've been searching to see why this is so, but no results. Clearly I know it has nothing to do with hardware, and this is a software thing. So my question is, how do I fix this? (Without installing an equalizer or volume Booster)
Thanks!
If I need to be more specific as to what I'm talking about, lemme know.
Anyone?
What type of roms you flash :Roms based on AOSP or other modified like funtoch, miui ?
For aosp like roms stick to a sound mod (divinebeats, aural maximizer etc.) It will provide same audio experience i hope..
Yeah I use a sound mod for aosp roms and miui. (I'm on MIUI) Issue I'm facing is that there seems to be a cap on the volume after I increase it past 75%. I've tried to look for a file called "audio_mixer.xml" but such file doesn't exist.
So I've tried volume boosters and other players, and the limit is still apparent. Also this is a software thing, because MIUI doesn't have the issue, but other roms do
