[Q] Is boosting your music volume safe? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi mates, I found an app to boost my music volume.
Is it safe to boost our phones max limit volume? If yes, why did Samsung did not include this feature by deafult in the default music player?

what is the name of app ?? where can we download it ??

I found this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.omegacentauri.SpeakerBoost#?t=W10. Don't know if it's safe to use.. But the comments are good for Galaxy S3

Because they want to protect your eardrums.. Anyways long term high volume output may damage your speakers..

In my opinion boosting volume is safe. I'm using Beats Audio app and Poweramp with the pre-amp up full and it's fine.
Having said that I rarely use the loudspeaker on the phone cos despite being loud enough the sound and clarity mostly sucks (as with all phones).

Sucks 10000% worse with beats audio.
Don't talk about "clarity" in the same context as that POS - displays ignorance.
Define "clarity", and how said POS improves it.

Each to their own my angry little nemesis.
Clarity as in, ya know, clear by the way. Through my lovely ears anyway.

Thanks for the reply guys.... So to summarize this app is safe to use if we will use it with large headsets and unsafe if we will use it with the phone speaker..
So I just need to activate this if I will use my sennheiser px-200 II :good:

Something strange in poweramp

When i raise the vol in the player poweramp after few pushes the vol is going down and than again going up...
Is there a way to fix it?
It happens to me only in this player
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda premium
Yes. This happens because of dvc. Its a setting in poweramp that improves the equalizer. To turn it off go to settings/audio engine/advanced and unchecked it.

Go to settings-> audio engine
Set replay gain to apply gain/prevent clipping, source to album, and both preamp settings to some positive value. Depending on the tablet or phone I use between 1.5 to 3.0 dB. That should do the trick, along with having to turn off Direct Volume Control. Not all devices have that weird problem with DVC.
I fix it editing sound tabel. Samsung using 30 value, depend google & Cm 15.
But if u do it other sound ( movie,youtube) have low volume.
Its annoying, btw DVC provide awesome sound.

I didn't notice a difference either till I was in my sisters car and she commented on how much nicer my phone sounded that hers through aux. I didn't notice a difference in my car because I have subs and in car speaker performance isn't noticeable when you have subs blaring lol. We played a song in her car with my phone (same Google music app, equalizer turned off on both phones) then same song with her phone and mine was much cleaner and the bass hit a bit harder through her standard car speakers. It definitely made a difference. Eventually I put the same beats files on her phone and she loves it. She said before she couldn't turn it up too loud because it distorted her speakers. I believe it has more of an effect the louder you go and the quality of the speaker

But we have almost the same thing in settings - sound - media audio effects.
Or is it still better comparing with these? Or with equaliser in power amp for example?
I never tried it and don't believe it much.
Beats is overrated and just a name. Musicfx, dspmanager, and any other application equalizer does the exact same thing.

It is basically an background equalizer. And is nice for people who don't like messing with an equalizer or if my sister, who doesn't understand how an equalizer works. Its a good alternative and really only makes a difference at clearing the sound at high volumes. That's really its only benefit for an average user. Some market equalizers don't do this.
I also found a site once that deeply explain how the beats "driver" worked or compared and it was interesting. Not mind changing but it didn't explain how it is pretty much an equalizer but with a few built-in features only for beats. I'll look it up and post it.

I have the beats installed from the Rocco ROM i use. I also use win amp pro that has an eq so the sound quality is great.. I am sure with just the eq from the win amp it would sound great just the same.

is this Beats really makes any difference, or it's just like any equalizer?

I have been saying this for years now and no one listens. I use free "Equalizer" app from the Market, everyone loves it. And I have my $9.99 SkullCandy headphones and they are great!
Does anyone that flashed the beats audio know if the beats headphones with inline control work once flashed because i was looking at a set and didn't buy them because when i tried them the controls didnt work but when i plugged them into a phone with beats they worked.

Is there any other sound enhancer for motorola razr xt910 exxept beats??

I recommend either use Equalizer with +2 -1 +1 +1 +2 on the equalizer. If you want really good sound however, visit RockoDev's thread with the Beats Audio drivers, and flash the 6.27 version to your phone. The sound is very good, I would not recommend to use an Equalizer with this driver, it's already optimized.

thans a lot...i'll try that
I normally use some combination of stock audio effects (under settings >sound), dsp manager (copy to system >apps, change permissions to rw-r--r--) and the equalizer built into play music app. I play my music as loud as possible at work.

Get a headphone amplifier that has eq options if you want good sound.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
i use SK PRO Carbon... and i found best results using rock equalizer just changing the 10 KHz freq to 8 and 3 KHz freq to 7
I'd suggest looking at the output and the quality of the files you're playing back as well. Get a nice pair of headphones (audio technica, akg,beyerdynamics,sennheiser,etymotic) and a decent amp if you need it. Equalizers and other software effects can only take you so far in terms of improving quality.
Also look at the format/quality of your source. Try higher bitrate/lossless formats as they make a significant difference depending on the genre.
Personally i find the poweramp eq to be more than sufficient for my listening.

I installed BEATS audio yesterday, but still sound is far from ideal in comparison to my old Samsung Galaxy 3... I don't know... in Razor music (even FLAC) sounds to me like it's washed or like i am listening inside bucket. hehe...
A lot people says many good words about razor, but i am dissapointed personally with quality.
Headphones i use are Sennheiser hd202, mostly listening good quality compilations.
Does any one else feels the same or similar way as me?
p.s. I am using PowerAMP player
Try dsp manager....worka good on mine...

There are several types of sound effects in the stock firmware. Please review sound settings, perhaps several of them are enabled which distorts sound.

I have xt912 but sound is probably similar. I always hear hissing/static on every song.
Tried replacement phones, different headphones, to no avail.
Something in hardware or software is amiss.

This might be due to a physical damage to or lint in audio out jack, which is very common. Reviews didn't show anything particularly wrong with RAZR audio:

CM Audio

What can I do to get the equivalent sound to Beats Audio in a CM Rom? I really want to stay on CM but I use my phone as mp3 player and the sound is just too low for me when using my headphones. Yes, I have cheap headphones but they sound really good when I'm using a Sense Rom with Beats Audio. I realize some will say it's just an EQ boost but I can't seem to replicate that in CM or find a replacement. I use Poweramp and I realize it has an EQ settings but doesn't seem to boost the audio enough for me. I like my music loud! LOL
You can try acid audio v7. Here's a detailed writeup regarding flashing and setup.

AC!D+Poweramp+Noozxoide=Pure Effin Win!!!!! Eff Beats in the A!!!
P.S. another tip that might help you volume wise is on Poweramp if you go to your EQ screen the setting all the way to the left is your Preamp level. You can try turning it up as much as needed until you reach the volume you're looking for(hopefully without distortion).

MP3 Boost for Individual Song Files?

Does anyone know of a App that allows you to Customize the Volume Levels of MP3's and then Save them to the SDCARD with the New Adjustments?
If so please let me know...

I think you don't need to do that you can bring your music back to life using this ViPER4Android Audio Effects. It's best sound effect software ever created for Andoid, with the right settings it make your music loud and clear with superb bass and tremble.
