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 :

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?

Not sure if I'm just getting old, but dang the volume seems way too loud when I try and use headphones on my GT 10.1 Wifi. Even on the lowest level. Any way to lower the default volume level for headphones?
Yes, this is a volume level software defect stupid Samsung engineers screwed up. Its mind boggling how they tested this and thought to themselves "Yes, this is good".
Going from mute to the lowest volume level is ridiculously loud in a quiet room when using either the speakers or head phones. The funny thing is going to the next 2 or 3 steps up barely increases the volume. Its all screwed up.
It really does suck and Im not sure Samsung has any plans on fixing this.

If you rooted flash a kernel that supports voodoo sound, then download voodoo control or voodoo control plus and lower the headphone amplifier.
That does not work. Voodoo control does not work to lower the volume. Yes there is an option to lower the gain on the amplifier but it does not work and its very buggy when you map the hardware volume buttons to the voodoo gain control. I tried it.

Voodoo control works for me. Rooted with Starbust UEKME and pershoot's kernel. I have custom IEMs with an input sensitivity of 119dB at 1mW. I have to set it to -55 dB on Voodoo.
ya but thats just for headphones. Does not change the speakers volume.
But it would work for the op as he was talking about headphones

For some reason I don't have this problem. I have never used lower volume then about 25%, usually it's at about 50%. BTW my hearing is just fine. I use a-JAYS Three headphones.
I think the impedance of the headphones plays a role in this. Headphones with lower impedance are louder.
Yes impedance definitely plays a role but the problem is with standard headphone impedance the volume is WAY too loud.
This is a big problem with the tab 10. Speakers play way too loud at the lowest volume setting....you hear me Samsung!! You hear me!!!!!
I just tried the built in speakers, one step up from muted and i can hear that it's playing very quietly if i hold the tablet normally. I need to put my ear next to the speaker to really hear enough to understand what song is playing.
So clearly my tablet doesn't have this problem.
On a standard UK rom here and my speakers appear to be fine, not too loud. Odd.

There is nothing odd about it. Your unit is exactly the same as ours. Different people have different hearing sensitivity. My hearing is excellent and above average so I can hear the music play too loud even on the lowest setting. Others will figure it is fine as hearing sensitivity varies.
The volume levels are simply all screwed up. You can see for yourself as turning the volume from 1 to the next 2 levels and the volume barely increases. Going from 1 to 2 almost does not even increase the volume at all. Going to 3 only increases it slightly then 4 and up increase at too high of levels to make up for the lack of volume increase going from 1 - 2 and 2 - 3. The levels are all screwed up. Horrible job by samsung.
I also have this issue!! The volume can' t be changed when using headphones and the volume is too loud for normal use
You can buy headphones with a volume control or a in-line volume control adapter for headphones but that still does not resolve the issue for the output to the speakers.
One thing I have noticed on most cell phones lately is that the volume level is horrible. Makes it hard to watch a video and enjoy it. So to those with the rezound, how is the volume?
The volume is very nice. I'm guessing due to the beats audio.

Very nice, loud even.
I've never had an Android phone that got loud enough, I've actually had to turn down the in call volume, and the speaker phone volume. No distortion.

There is even an option to have call volume boosted for hearing aids. I'm not that old, so I haven't used it, but it is louder than I need without it.

just want to squash this rumor, since ive been hearing it here and there.
Beats ONLY works with headphones plugged in AND in only in the HTC music player or Video player.
IF you dont see the "beats" icon, its no utilizing beats.
That being said, the external speaker is very good, volume is great, especially if you put the phone down on a flat surface like a table.
I am very happy with the audio level, especially coming from my Inc which was louder than most phones.
Is the volume for the speakerphone loud as well? I use my speakerphone feature a lot, usually am several feet away from my phone.
Honestly the volume is great. It's refreshing to not have to turn it up all the way through my car AUX.

My comment above was for the phone and speaker phone volume. Rather amazingly good.

Back when I originally got my SGS2 I came across a program that allowed me to basically pump up the volume for my headset output by a rather large amount. I'm fine with the audio through the built in earpiece as well as the back speaker. The volume via a wired headset (not a fan of BT) is very low though.
Anyone care to tell me if they're using anything to achieve this? For the life of me I can't find it...
Maybe volume +?

Did you manage to find the software you were looking for? I'm interested in something just like that.

Sorry! My bad! I didn't understand that volume+ is an actual app!
Yeah it was the Audio Boost program below. I have it set to volume level 86 and it works perfect for what I need.

I've got a couple of requests, both audio related. Hoping ROM and/or kernel developers might be able to help out...
1. A global gain setting/boost for the headphone jack. For those that use the headphone jack with, say, an Aux In to a car stereo, you really have to crank the stereo to get decent volume. It's probably a good 20-25% lower output than my iPhone 4. The Play Store boost options are unreliable and only work for apps that don't include their own built-in EQ.
2. Toggle to disable the LG feature that turns the volume down automatically "to save your ears" when you plug something into the jac. It's a good feature for headphone users, but a real annoyance for those using Aux In on another device. Plug in, crank the LGOG, crank the stereo and you've got a listenable signal.
Thanks.

If volume plus doesn't do it for you then Idk what to tell you. Other than it works fine over bluetooth and drives my giant sennheisers via 3.5mm with aplomb (w/volume plus)

I noticed mine sounds fine with headphones but when using the aux cable its super low.. not just volume but sound quality is definitely lacking... has anyone tried DSP on their rooted G yet?

Again, the booster apps only work for apps that don't include their own EQ. So it's fine for Pandora but not for, say, Subsonic.
Best way to do this would be with a system-level tweak. I had a Nook Color and they had extremely low audio levels. A dev added this feature and all worked great.
Clearly I'm not alone in being annoyed by this issue.

In the interim you could just not use subsonic and use a simpler music app...

I tried today with my Tones, didn't change a thing. None of the settings changed anything.
I'm pretty down about the volume issues too.., my only real beef with this bad Larry..I'm on base 0.7, running well, w/custom kernel too. One weird thing that got me confused is a few apps, all "audio" related, power amp(very few issues in 2+yrs) volume+ and 2-3 more won't open, nothing happens, been through every step that should be needed for fixin this, kinda boggled. Oh, I gotta check but on linpack, base .05, stock kernel, my phone killed it and snagged 4th and like 19th highest overall, the 19th was under clocked too multi thread, /Rob/Boston

Well,I found a fix for #2 in my original post. I wanted to find an app that would let me use the iPhone volume and track buttons on my workout headphones. I grabbed Headset Button Controller.
Turns out that it works great and includes a feature to automatically put the headphone jack to any specific volume level when something is plugged in. Perfect.

Anyone finding the BT volume too low? I'm using Jaybird Runs, and the max volume is substantially lower on the V30 than on my 1+5 with the same headphones. Anyone else find the same?

I've noticed this too. The difference between the V30 and every other phone I've owned is that the BT volume control doesn't change the device's volume but the phone's volume output information.
Try raising the volume on the headseat itself until it's maxed out then use the phone volume (i.e. two separate volumes).
Thanks @Charlie, great advice! That worked. To anyone else with this issue, on the Jaybird Runs you need to use the app to get to the alternate controls to raise volume.
