Was listening to spotify on my brand new S3 and i though the volume was a bit low and the sound was not always 100% clean. I previously had the iphone 4 and the sound of that one is punching compared... Is there something wrong with my S3 or do i need to do something?

Try to see if the equalizer of the GS3 is set to normal or else change it back to normal.
Also, if you want, there are plenty of kernels that offers improvements to sound and boost of volume.
See more of "Siyah kernel" "Francesco Kernel" and "N.E.A.K".
You need to root to flash the kernel.
i haven't had/heard any audio problem in mine S3 compared to the pc sound with headset. (Mac).

I've had my TFP for 2 days now, very happy in general about the device. The on thing that does bother me though is the speaker volume. When I play the same youtube video on both my TFP and iPhone 4 (aiming the iPhone speaker away from me just like the TFP speaker is) the volume on the TFP is considerably lower than on the IP4. To be honest, and I am far from deaf, some youtube video's are just impossible to watch because of this low volume. MKV files in bsPlayer or Dice are very low in volume as well.
Is this normal?
edit: Two other q's:
2. Unlocking the device by keyboard using the mouse buttons/unlock key just stopped working, anyone else had this?
3. Is there a keyboard key to get into the Task Switcher/Recent Apps?
I honestly can say that my Prime is lovely and loud, never any issues with volume. Check all your volume levels in Settings > Sound > Volumes, mine are all at max. I assume you've probably already done that though.
Yea everything is set to max. I know there are apps in the store with which you can boost you volume, but im not sure how safe these are for the speaker. Since I don't know anyone with a TFP I have no one to compare my device with. It just seems strange to me that the TFP seems to have lower max volume than my phone.
I am using an app called Volume+. It works great at increasing the sound volume and customizing the bass, mids, treble.
And you are not afraid Volume+ will mess up your speaker forever?

+1 for this app, I've been using it on my nexus s since may and have had no issues. You can set it pretty high before it starts distorting your volume--as long as you don't set the volume to max all the time, it shouldn't do anything to your speakers. Just make sure the max volume isn't distorting anything
Volume+ is the ultimate app to boost volume. My prime sounds very loud n clear now. It works. Checkout the thread on it in themes n apps section.
I've had select youtube videos be lower than others, but the prime's sound is usually pretty loud. Its loud enough to turn to about 85% and it play music in a crowded room and everyone still be able to hear the music (e.g. hotel room party). I haven't used Volume+, but I I just installed it and will use it now.

Make sure to follow the instructions. Best to use thread in themes n apps section as a reference. This also boosts headphone volume also if you check it off. After you installed n set it up, make sure to go into prime settings, then sound, then music fx. Make sure the volume+ one is checked off n press OK. Might have to press OK a couple times if it tries to throw up an error. Whatever you do, don't go trying to Max everything out in volume +. Best to leave sound on "good" quality.
I`ve a problem with listening to music on my L9. I use Poweramp player. When I set the volume full to show the information about a fact that is not healthy blah blah blah ... and after a few minutes of listening to disconnect the headphones. Plug it in again, I set the volume almost full, and again the same problem. Headphones work fine. In winamp I do not have this problem. How do I fix this?

Ahh, I am guessing English is not your primary language.This may be bad headphones, bad application, or a bad phone. Try another pair of headphones and try the youtube app.

No, it`s not. I tried on other headphones and it is still the same. At maximum volume phone stops see headphones-I do not know how to precisely call it. Just disconnects. On the polish android forum I've seen that not only I have a problem with that, however, no one can find a solution.

AW: Problem with music listening
Headphones should work, also the crappy Headset coming with the phone.
I encountered similar problems with a headset and a multimedia headphone adapter for Symbian phones.
Gesendet von meinem Commodore 64 mit BTX Decoder
First thing first.....How is built-in LG Music is doing? Is it working fine with speakers and headphones, etc?
Maybe he's talking about the volume limiter? Whenever you plug in something to the headphone jack, it pops up a notice about restricting volume and/or listening to volume at high levels can cause injury. I know that when plugging the L9 into something as a line-out, I have to crank the volume to max AND crank the volume of whatever speaker/device it's attached to.
For comparison, running the same app and music via a bluetooth media device the volume is equal to that of my iPhone. AKA: it sounds "normal." So it's using some sort of volume limiter on the 3.5mm out as far as I can tell, and I haven't been able to find a way around it. Though I haven't been looking too hard.
There´s this auto-volume-down mechanism, which allows to re-up the volume to max afterwards. But also the phone (P760) seems to follow the EU regulation, which is obligatory for toys only. Volume set to max is still not loud enough for me, as with my Nokia phones. But with Poweramp and Music Folder Player you can get a bit of extra juice, which is sufficient to me. For rooted devices there´s an app to directly control the Linux ALSA sound interface, but I won´t need that.
I've Searched much about it before thinking open a thread, but I got nothing wich could help me.
Is there a way to boost music volume when using BT Headphones ? I'm on android 4.3 ProBam v4.4.2. tried few kernel ( like boeffla to adjust the sound volume but it doesn't seems to affect BT Sound)
Tried also alot of others version and roms 4.2.2 and 4.1.2 still no good.
the mod wich actually boost a little the volume was Viper4Android. but I got just a "little up" from the level I was.
My question is... is there anything I could do to boost the volume up using BT Headphones ?

There is little you can do about bluetooth volume. Unlike Speaker, Wired headphones etc, these are not limited to the kernel. It is limited by the bluetooth module and it is controlled independently. Whetever you have now, is what you're stuck with pretty much.
in DSP manager on AOSP roms, it's possible with a few tweaks to the EQ, you may be able to simulate a louder volume. People advised me to try things with modified DSP managers. Such as MegaBeats. It increased bass, but didnt give more volume.
Yeah, i was kinda exprectin that.
but yet, thank you guys for your help
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.

Does this mod increase speaker volume in general? Like listening to music?
this device is awesome but there is something that i litterally got annoyed by...
i was using iphone 5s before this phone and it gave sound to headphones like a charm. when you tried to increase the sound it indeed was increasing it
but this phones headphone performance is ****!!! litterally when bass comes in, the sound drops so hard. and when i try to listen a music GAIN is somewhat weird it is good at normal points of the music
then the drop comes and sound gets decreased.. a lot!
how can i fix this
Audio performance of this device is a joke. I hope that it is a software problem and not hardware but i doubt it is...
It is indeed software

After experimenting so much with apps and settings i do now confirm that this issue is caused by the default settings because in "dj" apps after changing gain and messing with eq along with the sound settings the cracking is %99 gone and the sound level increased as it started to hurt my ears (but im using apple headphones)

Are You Using The Equalizer Or 3D Audio?
The device can only reach it's highest audio performance if you have it set to 3D Audio, but sometimes the Equalizer can sound better. Also, what music player are you using?
