I use DSPManager to boost my speaker volume by sliding all the equalizer bars all the way up, and it gives a noticable boost in speaker volume.
My question is, is it safe? Will it blow out the speaker because of the increased volumes?
One of the biggest shortcomings of the X10 is the not so loud speaker, this fixes it, but not sure if it's safe.
Thanks for any help.
can't find it on the market, could you post the link here or pm me to it so i could try it out?
The DSP Manager is a fair safe software. Wolf even included it in some flavors of his amazing ROM and nobody complains about losing the speaker (none that I know of).
I use the DSP Manager whenever I want with no trouble at all.
On the other hand I do think you're right about avoiding excesses. The wisdom teach us to keep the balance and don't misuse equalizers and LED flashes.
In my opinion, the best way to listening music in the X10 is still the earphone.

Thanks, but I was thinking more along the lines of the increased volume will be used for the ringer, when the phone rings, because it's really soft right now and I can't hear it from the other side of my house. DSPManager fixes that. I do use headphones for my music. I'm just worried that too much ringing might damage the speaker because of the increased volume that comes thanks to DSPManager.

Anyone else have issues using DSP Manager at high volumes? The issue happens when using the phone speaker or headphone jack (didn't test bluetooth) and setting volume to ~85% or higher. The resulting sound is a lot of high pitch squealing that I imagine would be similar to what you would hear with a decoder issue.
To replicate the issue:
1) Launch DSP Manager, choose Headset (if you choose headset, I wouldn't put your headphones on for this test...or if you're running a line out to a stereo receiver, turn your volume all the way down) or Phone Speaker and disable all effects or select Menu, Reset.
2) Play any mp3 or streaming audio (ie Slacker, Pandora), adjust the volume to be within 1-4 clicks of max.
3) Go back to DSP Manager, enable Equalizer, and then adjust the low frequency slider (leftmost slider) to be above 0.
4) At this point, the sound issue should be noticeable if you're experiencing the same issue I am.
If someone can please test this and confirm they have the same issue I would appreciate it. I didn't find any other reports of this issue, but if it's a known problem, can someone please point me in the right direction to resolve the issue? I've tried this on 4 different ROMs (I think they may all be Cyanogen based) and I have the same problem with all of them.
Thanks in advance for any input.
Sorry man I couldn't replicate it on Nonsensikal 8.8. Used Pandora, set volume to within 2 clicks of max, and set <100 hz to .2 .4 and .6. Didn't get any kind of squealing. This was on phone speaker. I have had weird DSP issues in the past though. Just didn't care enough to try it on all the froyo roms.

I have the same exact problem. I cant even move anything without it going crazy. im running CELBFROYO 2.9
Thanks for your feedback guys, I'm going to try out Nonsensikal 8.8, will report back later.
Edit: I tried Nonsensikal 8.8 and still had the audio issues. Did a little research and I thought maybe I was experiencing "clipping". I don't consider myself an audiophile so I wasn't really sure if this was an accurate diagnosis of my issue. This lead me down the path to try out the Mixzing app since it has a built in EQ. Since the Mixzing EQ only functions on audio thru the Mixzing player, it's not an end-all solution since I find myself pulling up Slacker when I want a change of pace from the mp3s I have on my SD card, and the Mixzing EQ does not function for streaming music.
Anyway, I found the EQ in Mixzing to be quite helpful as it appears to actually detect when clipping is occurring and notifies you by change the EQ bands to red. The clipping I experienced thru Mixzing is not comparable to what I hear when using DSPManager. The Mixzing clipping results in the audio cutting out for a given frequency range - for example when clipping occurs when a bass drum is playing, you don't hear the full range of sound of the bass drum, the low frequency is cut off. What's also noteworthy here is that thru Mixzing, I was able to rectify the clipping issue by simply re-adjusting the sliders to their previous positions and the sound output was corrected. Whereas with DSPManager, resetting the sliders didn't fully resolve the audio issue, I was still able to discern a high pitch whine especially during quiet portions of a song until either the song ended, or I disabled the EQ. If this were related to a clipping issue, I presume the squealing I hear would go away when I reset the sliders to their previous positions, since the squealing persists, I think it's probably a decoder issue.
Something else I learned here, perhaps already evident to other users, is that for each frequency band you adjust in Mixzing, it requires additional processor resources. This might explain why the Eris (not sure if this plagues other phones) struggles here. And on that note, I was using my Eris to test the waters and help me determine if it's worth rooting and dropping a custom ROM on my Incredible. Since this sounds like it can potentially be a resource issue, and I haven't found other users on different phones experiencing this issue, I guess I'll take the plunge and try a custom ROM on my Incredible.
Hey People.
How can i increase the volume of the speaker? Safely and without distortion, by Editing and not with apps running on the phone all the time.
It's like these, i'm using Gingersony v06 ( yes i got back to Gingersony after 3 days of being on the Original Stock Eclair, that Blue color on all the Stock Eclair is very annoying :S ), and people tell me that they can't hear me clearly when we are in a Call, and i don't hear people as well ( at least not loud enough ).
So that's why i wanted to increase the volume in order to hear loud and for the others to hear me loud 2.
Good answers will always get a Thanks press button
Ps: just an add, if someone knows how to get better audio quality as well ( because when hearing music, i can hardly hear clear the vocals ) then please tell me

I don't see the download anywhere in that thread, and it says it's for Mini, mine is Mini Pro, will it work?
But by the name 'Beats', i guess that must be the Xloud+Beats thing.
I used that thing some time ago but in that time i didn't see any change in the sound at all, but maybe i had a wrong version of it, because some players didn't work with that installed.
You know where i can get the fully working version?
Ps: that beats mod, did it change your sound quality at the point that you can hear the vocals clearly when playing music?, because it's a bit annoying to hear great/loud Instruments and then the voice looks like it's far away from the song :S xD

Try DSP-Manager with eq 'vocal boost' preset enabled, or play around with the viper4android APP (the best sound quality/loudness enhancer APP in my opinion ).

Dsp Manager i personally don't like it because for me it's the same thing as an Normal equalizer, i tried all presets and effects but there's always something wrong, if using effects for more vocals then the sound will loose Power 'instruments will sound with much less power, not very good to hear' to obtain that, about the viper4android i don't know if it's good 'i only used it once in your rom but with a bug of stoping/starting music so i quit' but maybe i'll make another try, sincerely i don't think there's a solution for the vocal problem on the songs without changing the sound itself or having Less Power
this device is awesome but there is something that i litterally got annoyed by...
i was using iphone 5s before this phone and it gave sound to headphones like a charm. when you tried to increase the sound it indeed was increasing it
but this phones headphone performance is ****!!! litterally when bass comes in, the sound drops so hard. and when i try to listen a music GAIN is somewhat weird it is good at normal points of the music
then the drop comes and sound gets decreased.. a lot!
how can i fix this
Audio performance of this device is a joke. I hope that it is a software problem and not hardware but i doubt it is...
It is indeed software

After experimenting so much with apps and settings i do now confirm that this issue is caused by the default settings because in "dj" apps after changing gain and messing with eq along with the sound settings the cracking is %99 gone and the sound level increased as it started to hurt my ears (but im using apple headphones)

hi, can you say what is that application that you use ?, and how did you configure it ?, thanks
Are You Using The Equalizer Or 3D Audio?
The device can only reach it's highest audio performance if you have it set to 3D Audio, but sometimes the Equalizer can sound better. Also, what music player are you using?
bluetooth headset problem and sound problem
i will buy mate 10 lite but still this sound problem bluetooth headset problem continues?
Hey ppol... Many pol are upset with poco f1 for its low volume while playing games like pubg, enemies footsteps are so unheard and u get killed....
Even after setting up the mi sound enhancement nothing seems to be working,
Heres the solution which i have been using successfully,
1) adjust the equalizer and earphones in ur mi enhancement.
2) download volume booster by goodev from google store.
3) before running any app... Related to sound, switch on volume booster, i am using only 10% of the enhancement as thats sufficient for my ears and headphones, as i have noticed till 20% boost it becomes extremely loud... Ahead of that is a persons individual choice.
And vola now u can play pubg, in ur wired or wireless headphones loud and clear. And plz. Dont forget to switch off the volume booster app after u have played the game as without earphones this app also boosts the speakers of the phone (not good for speaker life) and even drains the battery if its running in background.
And the best part no root is required!!!
Kindly note i am not responsible for nything goes wrong or ur phone or ear gets damaged kindly install and use the app at ur own risk and plz. Dont go deaf loud.

I am using 10.1.3.0 itself, there are no changes in this version as well related to sound, in fact i think deep bass has taken a hit in this update.
Anyways its a option i suggested, some ppol need loud earing some ppol... Need low earing, its just the matter if anyone requires lil bit of more loud volume.

We've been discussing general Poco F1 low volume level in another current thread in this forum. I suggested investigating sound booster apps available from the Play Store. I've heard of this problem with other Android devices and people have looked at this route to improve the volume level for music, media, ringtones, etc. I've no idea how well these apps work but it is probably worth looking into as a possible solution to your problem.

Its not a problem i am facing, i have given the solution which is 100% working without any mods required. My friend you have misunderstood the post what have been posted by me.
Okay, So if you have noticed in either Stock or one of the Many Great custom Roms that your Sony Bluetooth Headphones aren't very loud, or as loud as they are when connected to another audio source (PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Smart TV) Then I have a simple fix for you. I literally felt like a dumbf*ck when I figured this out.
There is a separate volume slider in Sony's headphone app, it is supposed to move separately from the phones volume slider. If you don't see that this is the case then you must go into Developer settings and Disable Absolute Volume Control then reboot your phone now you should see the volume sliders move separately, the one in Sony's Headphone app will control the Headphones Volume while your phones Volume slider will control the Output being sent to your headphones.
This should work for any Bluetooth headphones that use Sony's headphone app, I'm currently using Sony WF-1000XM4's with my Sony Xperia 1 Mark 3.
Mind you this should technically work for any Bluetooth Headphones with either Software or Physical Volume control.

To you perhaps but not to all, the reason i got these specific bluetooth headphones was because Best Buy gave me a deal since someone returned them because "they weren't loud enough".
Thank you so much,

You're welcome, and same lol
I noticed after last updates to headphones app sony broke the volume. Well they broke the headphones in general. For me it is not only not as loud as in past, I have also a problem with noise cancelling that is turning off by itself! In the app there is some automatic control, but I do not want any automation, how can I disable it??? XM4 became useless for me with the latest update to sony's crapware app :/
Also, I have volume control on the right headphone. But many times it is not working, do not increase or decrease the volume. I must either reconnect the headphones and turn off/on bluetooth or restart the phone to make it work again. This headphones app is so horrible! Not to mention it does not support my native language... There are probably 300 words max to translate but it's too much $ for greedy sorry to translate it...
