Are there any system files that you guys know about that can easily be tweaked (maybe plain text files?) where we can set a louder maximum volume?
I'm now on CM7 this phone now sounds so quiet. Doesn't matter if I'm using the earpiece or the speaker. Both are so low that I can barely hear people when I'm in the car.
On a side note:
People on the other end of the conversation say they can hear me louder and clearer than ever. So, I guess that's a plus.

One day, after I took my X10 out of silent mode, the "boop" sound for volume adjustment wasn't clear. Tried music and it was quite obviously distorted. Sound through the headphones remained perfectly clear!
Music distortion is one thing, but this makes my ringer much quieter
If the headphones are clear, it seems like it can't be the internal amplifier.
Does anybody know where a replacement speaker can be found?
if i'm not mistaken, a speaker of that size cannot possibly give you the type of sound you would find on a desktop computer.
and if i'm not mistaken as well, speakers of all phones are really horrible, compared to using the headphones. so it's a normal thing.
i believe there are speaker accessories for the x10. look at SE's global website
To clarify:
The phone had clear sound for months.
One day, the sound was distorted.
It has remained distorted, even at low volumes.
The headphone sound is still clear.
Therefore, I suspect the speaker is damaged.
I don't want external speakers, I want to hear my ringtone when I get a call!!!
(bump)
Any sources for X10 parts???
why don't you send it to se that they repair it for you ?
here is a page with spare parts:

call me crazy, but blow (using your mouth!!) into the speaker holes. My old C905 had the same thing and it turned out to be dust/sand/junk that was stuck in the speaker hole - causing the speaker to distort!
worth a shot hey!
Okay, I'm on Liberated 2.2.2 because I can only hear phone calls after school with that ROM! (Using the hearing option default)
And I can never hear anybody on CM7....anybody know any apps or mods to modify that? DSP Manager only works for the outside speaker, and the 3.5mm jack.
i have noticed that even though the speaker is not all that loud, it is clear, so if you listen close enough i have found that even n a loud room you can hear what they are saying.
NOW that being said i wish there was a way to make it louder too. :/
i ve noticed today that on maximum volume the speaker on the phone is kind of distorted. not on all sound, some sound good, some sound distorted. it happens in everything but u can hear it well in music player.
dont get me wrong, its not that bad but u can hear some sound distortions like buzzing and wheezing on some tones i also have an s2 and that is fine.
had any of u noticed this?
anyone?
Yea I get it but i don't really notice it that much
I have the same problem.
On maximum vlume settings I hear sound distortion.
Is it hardware or software problem?
I have the same problem.
I tried different ROM AOSP, AOKP, Samsung based rom, I tires different Kernel.
I also order a new speaker from ebay.
Problem won't disappear.
I think the internal speaker amplifier is defective.
Headphone sound is clear.
Phone speaker OK.
Ringer speaker distortion even at very very low volume. It's even more noticeable a low volume.
hi guys i find the xperia s volume low even at max when i listen to music on the headphones. i have installed many different apps such as volume+ to make it louder and have the dre beats file also installed but it still isnt loud enough for me. i have also flashed the AC!D files but i am still not satisfied. i love volume to be extremely loud on headphones to the point where your ears hurt a bit. so if there are any files you guys can recommend that i can flash or whatever to make the headphone volume super loud that would be awesome! thanks in advance
Loudspeaker on this particular device is apparently low than any other. Me myself faced the problem after i purchased it. U really cant do much with it coz apps/mods can only tweak the hardware to it's highest potential. If so, u might need to open it up and change the speaker. Now will u do that? .. Guess not. Btw, try using stock apps before u try any mod like AC!D or so and if can, do buy the sony smart headset. I bought one and its extremely loud with clear bass and sound. Music turns awesome in this pair of headset =)

You realize you only get one pair of ears and you'll have to spend the rest of your life with them? How about turning the volume a little less high but being able to enjoy it longer. I understand where you're coming from, I used to be 16 as well. But if you ever get permanent tinnitus, you'll curse yourself thinking about stuff like this.
But being the helpful guy I am: are you using proper headphones? With my headphones I can easily hurt my ears with the volume on maximum. Either you're using headphones with a low output or you've already damaged your ears. Don't use the stock headphones because those always are rubbish. I use Philips earplugs but in-ear earplugs might go louder. Good sound quality costs a bit. You can also use the stock equalizer to bump the audio volume a bit, just put all the sliders on top.
AC!D will work the opposite of what you want, it'll make the sound less loud but with higher quality. At least that's what I've read about it. Personally I think the Xperia S has the best sound of any smartphone/mp3 player/discman I've ever used without messing with mods, just the equalizer. The call volume on the ear speaker is too low though, not usable in loud environments. Putting the phone in just the right way above your ear helps, but I often have to move to a quieter spot.

open with root explorer system/build.prop and find phase not sure exactly but like this "ULP low power audio ........." and just after that down you will see that this option is set to =1 it means its enabled so set it for =0 and you will have some better/louder sound and even with AC!D and all when this stay ON it just block all other i find it on my Xperia U on ICS and i think that you have this in build too,heheh HIT THANKS IF I HELP YOU
My Xperia Z2 has a low in-call volume.
I can barely hear others when talking on phone, though the speakers works fine.
I have searched a lot but just found most of the mods are about speakers and earphones.
Is there anyway to fix the in-call volume or like which part of the mixer_paths.xml should I modify to increase the volume?
Thanks in advance.
I have the exact same problem, cant be a hardware defect because when playing music everything is fine loud over the speakers. So i am not sure whats wrong, everyone has told me my unit must be defective but i cant see how, if the speaker were bad then music wouldnt be loud. Its just in call volume for me thats terrible
