Boost Headset Volume - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to increase the headset volume on a GT7510? I want to plug my tab into my AV receiver to play songs from Pandora and my Google music library. Unfortunately, the maximum headset volume from the Tab is much lower than most of the other audio inputs going into my receiver. I have to increase the receiver volume quite a bit when using the Tab. If I forget to lower the volume when switching to another input source, I get a big surprise.
Is there a setting or app that will solve this problem. My Tab is rooted and running Task 10.
Thanks for any help.

Check and see which kernel you have.(settings then about device) If you didnt flash any kernels after flashing galaxy task 10 then you have pershoots kernel. Pershoots kernel does do some weird things with the audio and the best way to fix that is to download voodoo sound control from the android market. There should be a free one that works fine or you can buy the paided one to donate to the developer. Once you have voodoo installed open it up and check the "Map Volume Keys hack". Once that is done you should be able to crank up the volume of your tab again.
The other option is flash the stock kernel and lose your overclocking ablilites.

I can't find Voodoo Sound in the market. There is one called Voodoo Louder but it does not work with the GT7510. There is another app called Voodoo Control Plus, (paid), but it is not clear to me if this app will do the job. The screen shots show something called "Headphone Amplifier" so there is a good chance that it might work. This app only costs $1.30 but since many other apps that I have already tried falsely claim to be able to amplify the headphone sound, I am a little sceptical. Has anyone tried this app?

It's just called "voodoo control." It's free:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.controlapp&hl=en
If you have pershoot's kernel then it's a must have (and like the other guy said, if you have galaxy task--you have pershoot's kernel). If you don't have pershoot's kernel then get it (you didn't say if you were rooted or what ROM you're running, but it requires root). This is the only solution I know of to increase the volume.

I followed the link and tried to install it on my GT7510. The app says that it is incompatible with my device. Any other ideas?

[Q] Louder Volume Hack

Hi, which version of Louder Volume Hack works on Xperia X10 and if there is, How can I apply the codes into my phone .
thanks in advance
It doesn't. You have to install a custom kernel with that particular fix. Loud volume hack wont work on our phones and if u look at the description where you download it it says does not support Sony Ericsson phones. U could try dsp manager though
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
I have been looking for something to address the same issue. Which froyo or gingerbread roms that are fully working address the volume issue? Also, what is DSP manager, where can I get it, and how does it address the volume problem? Thanks!

dsp manager is a global equalizer for your phone.. its awesome.. made my x10 10x louder.. and in the case of headphones, i actually prefer listening music via x10 rather than my ipod after applying dsp manager.. lol..
you can download the apk from here
if the apk dosent work then try flashing the attached zip file via xrecovery..!!
but make sure you are on a froyo or a gingerbread rom cause it works only on 2.2 and above..

Sound promising, what do I have to do to activate louder sound?
is there any special way or codes to have the DSP Manager work on my X10 , or what's the tutorial for the installation
thanks

Start DSP manager and choose for example "phone speaker". Tick "Enabled" and raise the equalizers up. I think if you raise up the last 3 bars it will be just fine.
You can do the same for "Headset" and the "Bluetooth device".

Many thanks,
I finally made this work for me
Dsp is the best but I have a question, on a gingerbread rom, thinkin its rendeiro or rdannar's one but not trip, Ive found DSP manager with the bass boost option, since Ive turn it back my phone to froyo, using wolf's rom, DSP manager doesn't have the bass button, wondering if there is different versions of DSP Manager.
Btw im using wolf rom on bb55, stock kernel, x10a, 2.1.0.435 I think

Trying to search for other DSP versions, but couldn't find any other than v.1.0.
The best settings I found for volume/clarity with DSP Manager for the phone speaker is to set values (left to right) at 4.0, 4.5, 5.5, 6.0, 5.5 These setting boost the whole range but keep distortion down on the high and low.
Sent From My *Super Fly X10*
If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!
I never set the first higher than two cost the bass distorts too much. The rest I set at 6 tho and it sounds fine. Maybe twice as loud as previously. At least I can hear my phone from my back pocket now lol
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Same with me. I played some music on the player, same time i went to DSP and play with the bars. Last 3 up and the first two at about 2 was the best setting and sound clariry.
The settings of the "headset" is other thing though. The bass there is raised more.

[Q] Low volume fix?

I've already looked around at various options for boosting the volume on the phone, and I've run into issues at every point:
I've seen people reply to these threads saying that it's the headphones at fault: My headphones are fine. I'm comparing volume to an HTC Desire, and the SGS2 is distinctly lacking. And yes; I have plugged my headphones in fully
Another common reply seems to be that MIUI volume is higher than Stock so there is no issue. There is an issue: it's quieter than an HTC Desire!
Using *#197328640# to access Service Menu -- I'm running MIUI and therefore do not have the stock dialer, so codes don't seem to work. I could flash the stock ROM, do the code, fix the volume, but apparently the setting is lost after reboot -- so flashing MIUI after that is certainly going ot lose any settings.
I had a go with a couple of apps off the market, with low expectations, and they didn't work either.
I'm rooted (of course) and reasonably tech-savvy so I'm quite comfortable with a Linux system and ADB, quite happy to hack and patch. Is there any (permanent) fix I can apply to increase the volume? I'd prefer something fairly elegant, like applying the Service Menu options manually (somehow) at boot.
Have you tried Voodoo Louder?
Great tip, I wonder how I didn't find a reference to Voodoo before... I just bought the app and it seems to be working as expected!
Thanks a lot I'll test it through the day!
try the fix that in my signature then if u like to use voodoo louder u ear will blown lol
^^
+10000000000000 this ;-) Have been using Yahyoh's fix for a while now, have tried Voodoo Louder but this little app increases volume much more & also gives a "fuller"/less hollow sound.
Thanks for this info yahyoh, it's quite interesting that it's using
Code:
# alsa_amixer sset Headphone 31
I had a quick look (via BTEP) and found the names of the devices:
Master
Headphone
Speaker
Side Tone (NB. my previous research suggests playing with this will create echos in phonecalls -- so probably don't play with it!)
There are a bunch of others; I got the list via
Code:
# alsa_amixer | grep '^Simple mixer'
I am slightly wary of this solution, however, since it sounds like it keeps executing these "sset" commands on a regular basis (every second or so) and it doesn't seem like that elegant a solution. I'll stick with Voodoo for now, and if it isn't enough, I'll revisit this modification of the ALSA settings.
I'll pay special attention to the warmth of the sound, too, as I've installed the CyanogenMod DSP Manager, so thanks for the tip MistahBungle

Yeah it will; MIUI is AOSP, as is CyanogenMod (which MIUI is based upon).

As I found out after clicking on link
Apologies - I'm stupid today - bloody toothache
Yea the volume is way to low. I would love a fix. No programs
There is no fix without a program. That little app of Yahyoh's doesn't work with ICS, Voodoo Louder will give you up to 6dB extra volume with headphones/headset.
Does this increase system volume also?
would like to know this as well
the sgs2 just becomes picker with headphones - you gotta go with low impedance models. something like < 20ohms

[Q] wanamlite volume issue

I have an issue of volume being very soft when using a earpiece or playing music compared to stock. Anybody have this issue or any solution to it?

Maybe try Voodoo Louder from Google Play. Gives you up to 6dB extra volume thru headphones/headset.

Any other way except 3rd party? Like copy audio lib from stock etc??

Probably not.
There was a little app (free) that used to work on AOSP GB roms that played with the ALSA settings to increase the volume on headphones/headset (a lot; much more than Voodoo Louder does), but it doesn't work with ICS. At all.
Voodoo Louder really is the only option that will give you a nice kickup in volume without reducing the sound quality (I've seen people claim some other apps increase volume more, but tend to mess the SQ up).
I guess you could try copying the audio libraries from stock, but good luck getting them to work. They're obviously not going to work on any AOSP based rom, and you'll likely have a lot of problems getting them to work on non-stock Samsung based roms as well.

Jellybean, Audio output issues

I've tried the Jellybean builds, I've noticed the audio output is very low. I use my phone for music in my car through my auxiliary cord. With the samsung roms music is a lot louder. I did download VOODOO louder which did work well on CM9/AOKP builds but I can't find a solution for Jellybean.. I've tried extweaks with siyah jellybean kernel and jacked up the audio to 6DB but it doesn't do much at all.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

I had the same issue. AOKP JB as secondary ROM with Siyah 4.1, all the way up to the update ont he 9th. I installed DSP Manager, and it makes marginal changes maxing out the equalizer. Today I downloaded EX Tweaks to figure out how to tinker witht he CPU (locks up when 1600 max selected by the way, 1400 is the highest I've gotten working, but haven't bothered with 1500 since it's running great), and noticed it had audio options, and it only goes to +3, but it's a massive difference. Maybe uninstalling everything wipe, and fix permissions, then try with just Ex Tweak, and if it's not that different, put DSP on there. That might be the combination that's working for me. Not much of any significant increase in battery drain. Though I have an extended battery anyway so if it did it wouldn't bother me. Either way, try it out. Used to have my car volume at 22, to listen womehat loud/enjuyable, bumping it up to 26 for the 'good songs'. When I put JB 28 was the ok with like 35 being the good songs. Now, 18-20 is just right. Just for reference I guess. Just search for DSP manager in google for the apk. Hope this helps. I'm a f***'n savage noob so all I can to is trial and error.

go to the market and search for Beats audio. Do a Nandroid backup then run the app installer. It puts the drivers on your phone. It works and definitely increases the sound. My 2/15 is more like 10/15 stock. I've had to download Fine Volume Control to allow me to get the music to a volume that isnt too loud.

[Q] CM9 Very Low Volume

After installing the latest CM9 built on my P7510 I noticed that the sound coming from either the speakers or the headphones is very low compared to the official ICS ROM. I tried to adjust it with the DSP Manager but I cannot bring it to the levels of the official ROM. This is a problem particularly when watching movies because even at maximum level the audio is low. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is the a fix? I use pershoot`s CM9 built of 29/09/20212.

lol ...... I have the opposite problem for ganbarou v1.0 as the volume seems to be too high even when I have it at lowest with my headphones which is why I use vodoo sound to decrese the sound while I listen to music. U an use vodoo sound to bring up the sound too beyond default Max ....... so yeah, just install it from play store and give it a try!

I've used an app called Volume+ but it distorts the sound. As for Voodoo, it says that the kernel should have a patch which allows its use but I am not sure if the kernel in CM9 supports that.

OK, I installed the Voodoo volume app and I managed to get a proper sound level. The strange thing though is that the DSP Manager already has this functionality installed but it does not affect the sound. The standalone app however works properly.
