This generally happens the most in netflix and music. Is there anything that can be edited in the build.prop that would possibly increase the volume? Thanks.
My speaker often doesnt go loud although sometimes it does...Havin issues.
Speaker Volume Increase
If you download "Equalizer" from the market, you can increase the volume significantly. However, realize that the louder the volume, the higher the chance of you blowing out your speaker.

Good tip on this app, I like that it integrates with google music.

Hello XDA! This is my first post, although I am an avid daily reader. If this is not the right place to post this then I apologize in advance.
I am working on a custom boot animation. I have everything working, including the audio file I'd like to hear as it runs. My problem is that the volume of the audio file during the custom boot animation is VERY low (~30%). I looked at the stock AT&T boot animation and there is an audio file commented out in desc.txt (#s blahblahblah.ogg). I "uncommented" it and ran it with the stock boot animation to see if the volume was the same, and indeed it was! I opened up sql editor and have looked in every database file I can find (I think) and have found nothing referencing volume upon boot up.
Is there indeed a database file that references this, and if so, what do I need to modify so the the volume is at a respectable level? Is there something (a line of code) that I need to add to the desc.txt file that will modify the volume? In a nutshell, how do I increase the volume of the audio file that I would like to be played with my custom boot animation?
Thank you for reading my post. Any/all help would be greatly appreciate!!

This problem is driving me nuts. Does anybody have any info at all that might point me towards a resolution?? I've extensively researched it and haven't found any info.
Thanks!

Bump.....sorry everyone. I've tried everything I an think of and need some help. =(
amp up the sound of your file. i don't know why it would play it lower than "normal". i had to amp up one of mine.
How do I do that??
I actually had the same problem with the "Aperture Laboratories" custom boot. Audio was very low

use an app like Audacity to see if it makes a difference.
I fixed my problem by using a program (mp3gain pro) to increase the overall volume of the audio file by ~20%. All works perfectly now. Thanks!!
Please close this thread.
I have tried using mp3gainpro which actually works with the file, but the volume doesnt have any affect on the phone during the animation. I dont know how to increase it. I think we have to mess with the codes to change some prefrences, but i dont know how
You can increase the db level, but you will at a certain point induce clipping and the sound quality will go downhill fast. Best thing to do is find an audio source for the same file which was ripped at a higher quality.
This is not a coding problem. Its a source problem.

I disagree. I have used files that are excellent sound quality and volume, and the boot animation sequence plays the .mp3 at a greatly reduced volume.

How is that going to help? I do music, so I am well aware of what a quality sound wave looks like. I have an MT4G, and I have run multiple different files for the boot sounds and they all play at a low volume.

Ok, you do music smartypants. Figure it out yourself then. (I can make my audio play loud btw, but then I don't do music so obviously I have no clue). Bye!

My point was simply that sending you the .mp3 was not going to help. If you want to act all high and mighty about it that's on you lol
Personally it's not that big of a deal.

On my phone, the ringer volume seemed to directly affect the volume of the boot sound. Maybe it's the media sound level or something and by coincidence the ringer volume was the same, but whatever the case one of those made it louder and then quieter and also muted depending on the volume level I had going. Because I've changed nothing as far as the sound file itself

Hello guys, I'm new here and very new to the android platform. I got rid of my iphone for the amaze but the first thing i noticed was how quiet the music players volume is. I like to listen to my music really loud. Is there anyway to increase the volume. i've tried an app volume + but that didn't really do much. Any help would be appreciated.

I recommend going to the MARKET and downloading an app called POWERAMP. You can download the free trial that last about 2 weeks before it expires (you can uninstall the app and reinstall it every time to refresh the trial) or you can help out the devs and buy the pro version for about $5.99. Poweramp has a bunch of different settings for sound gaining, treble, bass, preamp etc. I definitely recommend it!

Thanks for the reply but i tried that app. That app just has a bunch of different EQ setting's to make the music sound louder but it also makes the music sound bad. I use playerpro which has the same settings with the dsp pack. Any way to increase the main sound? Like directly from the audio server.

Need Help Free Volume booster ?
Just as the Subject states anyone know of a good FREE app to boost volume. the default max volumes is not loud enough through head phones...
look at the volume+ thread. its the only app that truly boosts volume, bass, n sound quality. its not some glorified equalizer either. allows you to boost speaker, headset, BT speaker or headset. look at the thread. its a paid app on the market but the creator says if you go to his website you can get it for free. make sure to follow instructions exactly that he gives. this will dramatically increase sound volume as my prime is loud as? !#& now..lol
here is the direct link to the developer website where you can get it for free. http://androidaudiohacks.com/?p=158
still look at the volume+ thread here in this section for reference and tips. also after you installed and followed directions. go into prime settings. then sound. then music fx. make sure to click the volume+ tab
Audio Manager
You can also try out audio manager, you can adjust actual volumes with it too, there is a free and a paid version.
I used this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hr.podlanica
In the equalizer putting all the frequency knobs all the way up increases the volume above normal.
Volume plus is AMAZING! I boost the volume on all my devices, but be VERY carefully! I personally witnessed an idiot blow thee speaker on his Sensation, then blame me because he didn't pay close attention to my warning. Lol
Anyone know a way to define the output for the volume levels? Basically when you turn the volume from 0 to the first bump up (I.e. supposed to be very quiet), I find it to be uncommonly loud. Any thoughts?

I am curious about this as well. Seems to be more noticeable when streaming video from the web browser.
I've noticed this also. Since all the ROMs so far are bases off of stock, it has affected each ROM I try as well
I've tried lowering sound in equalizer and looking for quiet apps, but not-so-shockingly no one wants an app to make their phone quieter, only louder. As for now, I either connect to a Bluetooth speaker and play that audio quietly or headphones.
I haven't tested this myself yet (but I will soon because it's such a problem) but I've heard that editing the build.prop (relatively easy to do) can adjust the volume levels. There's another thread somewhere around here that discusses doing this. I'll post back if/when I get it to work.
i used to complain how speakers was low on my previous phones,But dna it super loud on low.Like this beast of a phone have bose built in.
Same problem here. The lowest ringer volume level is still way too loud for work.
And with Sony xloud you can make it louder

I also noticed this problem. The first bump of volume is way too loud. Hopefully someo f the custom roms can tweak this to be more reasonable.
Now that we have root for our Z3v's... I've been playing around with trying to find/edit the files that control our phones speaker volumes (both in call earpiece volume and speaker phone volume). I don't necessarily need to increase the speaker volume for playing music because most of the time I'm using bluetooth, but I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in that as well.
I'd like to be able to just modify the phones system files rather than use some sort of booster app.
From what I'm been able to find, the file located in /system/etc/ called mixer_paths.xml is what our device uses to control volume parameters. I've seen where other devices have had these types of files modified in order to boost max volumes.
Is this something we can do with our phones? The in call volume, both earpiece and speaker phone are just TOOOO quite for me.
This is about as far as I can comfortably go as I'm not a developer/programmer.
Anyone out there comfortable helping out with this idea? Is it possible.

I also would like to know how to increase the volumes
I think it's almost comical how low the audio levels out of the headphone jack are. I don't know if this can be fixed or what but even playing at full volume it seems too low.

I've been using the Sound Mod from Z3 Development version 3.3 with Dolby Digital Plus (I think it has beast audio) & the volume on the headphones is so loud at the second click up. They even have a way to go back to stock.

Sorry to dredge up an old thread.... You say you're using the sound mod. Did you flash that in recovery?
Checking this out first, just got root today and don't want a shiny new paperweight anytime soon

I did flash the sound mod through recovery but it only boosted speaker volumes, not in call volumes. I used the one without Dolby.

Wow so we can flash .zip files in recovery now? Again just making sure, just rooted and there isn't a ton of info out there for our device atm. Thanks in advance
I flashed it in the dual recovery as well. Just make a backup first because the zip they have to take it back to stock isn't for our phone. In other words if you ever want to go back you should wipe & reload the backup. And make sure you don't install the lollipop version.
