The search feature was not working otherwise I would of hopefully found this answer. But is there anyway possible to make the headphone out sound louder? I use the g tab for my everyday listening in car and it is much quieter than my old ipod. If anyone knows of any solutions to this please help.
Thanks yall!
You could try using the attached DSP Manager to raise output levels. It works with many builds of Android on phones, but I don't have the tablet handy to test.
Edit: Others on the forum have reported loss of sound after tinkering with DSP Manager and had to reload their ROM. Not much testing has been done so proceed at your own risk.

just tried it and it says "there is a problem parsing the package"
Thanks though. Anyone else?
I just wanted to say that I tried dsp manager a while back, as I had it on my Evo as well with no issues.
Only after tinkering with it for a few minutes and a reboot or two i did in fact lose all sound. I wouldnt mess with it on the tab, unless theres a modified version for us.
Good thing for backups!
thanks for the heads up
anyone else have any ideas?

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

Why does almost every rom include this app? I dont see what is so great about it. To me it is just taking up RAM.
Am I missing something?
You can just remove it if you don't want it. To my knowledge, it is an equalizer for your phones speaker and earpiece. You can change it to how you want..but if you don't want it, just remove it. No need to get all feisty ;p

If used correctly you can dramatically improve sound quality with speaker headsets and bluetooth

Increases functionality and customization of your sound output on your phone's 4 different output methods (earpiece, speaker, BT, and headphone jack I believe as well)
Every time I opened it it would force close, so I removed it.

because there's a serious low volume issue on the 3D
we need everything possible to try to make the sound louder
I like the EQ, it comes in handy with apps like tune in and other apps where a little sound boost is needed.

If you already have an equalizer or other volume increasing app, it will conflict with dsp manager and vice versa. You can only have one. If you don't have anything conflicting with it like that and want to try it, maybe someone can help you get the apk to install manually. It really does make things sound great. Though I liked Equalizer from the market better.

Thanks. I'll have to look around and see what else is on my phone. I already have an apk of it, I just didn't want to install it again and have the same issues.
Sent from the great mind of Young Sinema
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 have had this problem with the mic volume, while in-call, i sounded too soft on the other line. Barely audible at times. The microphone records great in other apps, but audio gets distorted when capturing video (for example at a live concert), however it is the least of my concern. I used to run bionix 1.3.1 then ran cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1 and now im running Slim ICS 2.8.
I really want to resolve this issue, I have perused through countless threads and have found no solution. Could this be an issue with the kernel? I honestly have no clue what to do. Help me pls! thanks in advance.
I figured it out! So if anyone else has this issue I hope this may do the trick if its relevant.
Since DSP Manager is installed on my phone I figured the answer may lie in there. And.. it did! It was the tuned audio clock setting, it was 'checked' , even though it says it helps with the sound (which is why I linda ignored it before) but turning it off drastically changed my sound when in call. Now I can be Howard clearer. Hope if anyone has this issue it helps or possibly have a similar setting you can set off that says it "helps with the sound"

Hi there.
How to manage DSP on Cianogen 9 ROM?
I tried DSP manager and Awesome Beats but they don't work...
Tks!!
DSP Manager works fine for me as long as I'm running CM9 kernel. If you use another kernel chances are it won't work unless it's supported on the kernel side. If you're using Siyah, don't expect CM9 DSP Manager to work anytime soon; Gokhan is too busy to get it working.
Edit - If you're using a music app with it's own EQ/plugins, you probably won't notice DSP Manager unless you have EQ set to flat & any settings which 'colour' the music off.
Further edit - With Beats, I doubt you'll notice DSP Manager no matter what you do given how ridiculously bassy they are.
I'm using CM9 ROM and it doesn't work...

try clearing data/cache of that app and see if it wrk's
Already done, no luck for me...
Just use fe. PowerAMP for music and/or Equalizer for overall eq...
Got them, but i can say the result will never be like using the DSP, dynamics and frequency range are so much limited...
Rubbish. Clean your ears out.
Poweramp's EQ & other settings you can use to colour music are much better than DSP Manager. And get some decent headphones as well, that might help
Dear, I've been using Poweramp and Equalizer for years.
1st there's no compression, and compression is mandatory to get something good off the worst yamaha this mobile integrates.
Then, all effect are not so deep like with DSP, it seems that DSP uses some hardware aids.
I use Bose in-ear, except for low frequencies they're not so bad...
Common sense says if you have a problem with CM9, you ask in the CM9 discussion thread. But if you want to sit in this thread & hope someone comes along & helps you with a problem that seems to be only happening for you, be my guest.

Well, you're right.
I asked before directly on Cyanogen forum, but no solution at the moment...

can yu please explain what yu meant by ''dsp using hardware aids '' ??
I mean hardware DSP...
I've tried many different dspmanager apks and libs and never managed to get any working apart from DSP Manager V1 which if I remember correctly was included in the release candidates of CM9. That still works if you take the apk from one of the RC builds and overwrite the one in CM9.1 and possibly other CM9 related ROMs.
A better solution though was to flash this instead - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709497
Even though this is for a different model of phone, it gives you the latest version of DSP Manager on CM9.1 on the SGSII and it works perfectly.
Give it a try but remember...do a backup first before flashing!
