Hi everybody!
Have bought Galaxy S II yesterday.
Everything's fine except maximum volume level in headphones. Is there the way for increasing maximum vol level?
My headphones is Koss PortaPro Limited Edition.
Thanks!

I found that galaxy S2's volume using earphones (stock ) is very low when playing songs & movies ...
Also in call volume using the stock earphones is also very low . ( Volume is maxed )
The speaker volume seems to be comparitively louder than earphones but it is also not very loud .
I also own an iPhone 4 & made some tests ....
I used the stock samsung earphones on iPhone 4 , and volume for songs/movies was very loud , but the same earphones used on GS2 had a low volume .
Also , i used iPhone earphones on galaxy S2 , but they also were low .
I played an avi movie on iPhone , & the earphone max volume was very good .
But the same movie when played on GS2 , the max volume was very low ( when comparing it to the iPhone it was very low ).
Why is this so .??
Is it a harware limitation of SGS2 .? Does it have a bad audio chip .?
Or is it just a FW ( ROM ) issue , where volume is capped .??
Also are there any custom ROM's that have better volume than stock ROM's .??
there is a few threads discussing on how to improve the volume and tone, do a search, to help you along, maybe you can try audio boost from market or equalizer or power amp. hope this helps

I doubt it. Because in CM7.1 ROM just few volume + clicks make it to loud enough.

Does volume + works on stock ROM .??
Also which is better volume + or audioboost .??
Hello everybody! I have noticed that the sound that come out of the side speakers on my new rooted Galaxy Tab 10.1 on the maximum level are a little on the weak side. So I was wondering, is there anyway that you can make the volume louder beyond what is set as the max volume? Thanks!
May be your headphones. I've had a similar problem when using BOSE Noise cancelling headphones, the volumn seemed really low especially on a flight, whereas with regular in ear headphones I had no problem and actually had to keep the volumn down!
Hey bro, I think this app from the market works well.
Volume Control+ http://market.android.com/details?id=com.cb.volumePlus
Turn up the media volume all the way.

Hey thanks for the input, but I was asking about the actual built in speakers on the sides of the GT 10.1, not headphones. Thanks anyway!

Turning up the media volume all the way in the app was the same thing as using the volume rockers and putting the volume all the way up. I was actually asking if it was possible if we can go beyond the maximum volume.

It would probably have to baked into the kernel then I'm assuming. My speakers are quite loud. Maybe louder than stock. I'm using Galaxy Task 6.3 with latest pershoot kernel. Hope you figure it out.

Another thing I figured out is get an equalizer app from the market. Like this one :
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer
Turn all frequencies to the Max. Whew now they are earsplitting!
Yes, you have to have pershoot's kernel for Voodoo app to work properly.

Hello! Would you mind telling me how to use the Voodoo app to raise my speaker volume?
Like to check with all here, are S3 headset audio output volume consider to be on the low side?
The reason I ask this was, 2 days ago just got my car AUX line in cable replaced the L/R RCA adapter casing cracking and hollow sound immediately or after sometime of playback. The AUX cable are plugged into headset output of a Sony MW600 stereo bluetooth that connected to my S3, iPad2/new iPad.
During the diagnost by the car mechanic, he uses AUX cable directly plugged to an iPhone4, the volume come from it was much higher compare to plugged with S3 headset jack. Both iPhone4 & S3 was at max volume but can say it's around 6~10dB different or 250% volume gain with iPhone4. Never did I reliaze this different as most of the time I was using my stereo bluetooth to feed my car stereo AUX line.
Next thing I'd tried, out of convenience for MP3 playback through my car stereo I've decided to purchase a cheap China made Nano5 MP3/4 player (with camera), the one look like the long & slim old iPod Nano with small screen. Playing it through my TDK BA200 iem the SQ was mediocre and with much lesser bass than S3 or iPad3. But to my suprise, when connecting it to my car stereo, the max sound volume was even higher than eiher S3 and iPad3., not to mentioned the bass are also more punchy than the other 2.
With 2 different results,
1. S3 audio playback through TDK BA200 iem, SQ and bass are super, loud and fuller, but through my car AUX line are otherwisely low bass & volume.
2. MIC MP3 playbakc through TDK BA iem, SQ are mediocre, lower bass & volume, but through my car AUX line SQ are good, loud and good bass.
So now I am confused. Should I considered S3 headset output consider low volume? Or it was because of compatibility or impedance issues? Hope anyone good in audio experiences can explain/advice me on the S3 different audio output behaviour. Many thanks!
Btw, my car was Renault Laguna III 2.0A Turbo with original head unit and 8 Pioneer components speakers.

JJEgan,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, with normal iem Galaxy S3 headset output considered loud.
My problem was when S3 plugged into my car stereo AUX line in it was otherwisely low volume and light bass.
This is comparing S3 with made in China MP3 player, iPhone4 and the built in CD Player.
I'm still puzzling why was S3 behaved that way.
JJEgan,
Alright, by listening to your advice I've found this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722136
Thank you very much!
It really helps to solved all the hassles.
Now I no longer hunger for alternate cheap iPhone4 or iPod to use with my car stereo AUX line in.

its already loud enough, but there are ways to boost it further. either use siyah kernel (has loads of option for sound) or franco kernel and feel the difference.

its because there is a config issue on the phone. there are ways to fix it but i wouldnt use Volume+ i tried to contract the owner many times and have never had a response. its a waste of money and not fit for the job as it crashes other apps on the device.

Default.conf file can be altered a number of sound output threads on XDA can be read .
Siyah kernel has built in louder vol .

Hi, there's a program on play called 'mixget' which can increased the headphone out gain it doesn't need a rooted phone I used it on the s1 and it seems to work on the s3 under the current jellybean. I love headphones.
having the same issue as i described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105091
i found, without changing kernel or flashing a mod, yu can install AC!D Audio Engine from its official site, it has many audio pluging and conf like Dr.Dre Beats and it should power up/clear/bass boost your audio.
Problem
Now, I've got this very weird problem. When I plug the headphones and play a Midi using the default player (only when using the default player), the volume is low even on 15. BUT this doesn't happen when it plays any other filetype (mp3, etc...) . Also, Midis play louder (as they should) when I open them using another file explorer (ex. Es file explorer) with the default player. Does anybody know how to solve that issue? I can't find anything that can help on the net.
Awesome! Thank you!
Im getting my head round it now.
Would this be a good one to start on my i9300, as this is the main reason im looking into it.

Hey good people,
Please help me with this problem here.
The mic volume when I connect my phone to the car is too feeble.
My current setup:
Phone - Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100)
ROM - NeatRom v8.0
Car Head Unit - JVC KD-R736BT.
Diagnosed that the head unit has no problem at all. It works perfectly with good volume levels with a basic nokia phone.
What I've tried so far to kill the problem on the S2:
Installed Volume+
Tried increasing volume levels in Service mode
All the above are of no use.
Please help with a permanent fix.
Thanks,
Vinay

Could NeatRom team consider having this rectified?
Guys it should have nothing to do with custom rom, since recently i tested the latest official 4.1.2 rom for i9100 with same results. (i'm using a Sony SBH50 bluetooth model).
The mic volume is very low, meaning that when in a call, i can hear great from bluetooth but the listener hears me like i am 10 ft away from mic...
Is there a way to increase the maximum headphones volume ?
Yes buy another headphone i am already on samsung one and soud is awesome
i use Denon AH-C50MA and sound is great
What's you headphones impedance? Mine piston 2's are loud even 3 volume bars @ 16ohm
Well i don't care about my earphones impedance as my previous smartphone (S3) could easily drive these with louder sound.
I think i will probably give a try with Viper4Android.
I also find the Honor 7 volume levels too low. The phone speaker as well as the headset.
Call volume is low as well but you can fix that by setting it into speaker mode.
The low headset volume annoys me the most. (I use HQ headset)
I found the service mode menu and had hoped i could increase headset volume levels there.
https://youtu.be/r0gSdYQ5egw
Sadly, there is no option. I tried some apps from the playstore but they didnt do anything.
I'm currently (officially) participating in the Android 6 Beta so am not rooted or anything.
Is there a way i can increase the level already?
Or maybe once I have the final Android 6, can i root/unlock the phone and increase the volume in another manner? I want to stay on the original roms, dont want to flash something else on my phone.
Anyone else finding this annoying as well and has a fix?
I am running 80ohm sennheiser dt880 and the volume is high enough for me so every mobile headphone with 32ohm should be easily powered to painful volume . Not sure which media you play, but if you need higher volume i suggest a mobile dac as headphone amplifier
