When i listen to music with Apollo or any apps with DSP Manager enable sometime I've a problem.
There nothing happen, no effect at all.
Then I change a track... its gone BOOM! media volume get to maximize level (Yeah... when I'm on a headphone, it was a freaking pain )
When I lower my volume then its jump back to normal level.
Like these > I set media volume to 5 >Listen to my awesome music > Enable DSP > No Effect > Skip track > Boom it go to level 15 > Lower a volume via volume rockr one click > Back to Level 5
I don't know what really happen there as I've said above "sometime" But after the 1st error this problem still persist.
I've Clear Data Of DSP apps,Fix permission, Factory Reset. Nothing seem to fix.
I've Try some Rom, like CM9.0//CM9.1//CM9 b20121028//Rootbox ICS 1.8//Some other ROM (I can't remember)
mostly on Siyah and Dream Kernel.
And for Rootbox thats used MusicFX, Its give me unsatisfied result (sometime its same problem.No effect But no media volume jump)
So if there any fix for this problem? or I'm need to stuck with Sammy Rom forever (And I hate Touch-Wiz )
And sorry for my English, If it gave you a headache (LOL)
!BUMP!

SOLUTION FOUND - TESTING -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411317
I'll provide a better tutorial for those interested when im done testing it ;-) seems i can build a custom Framework.jar with edited volume increments.
I'm running cm7 from cm9, I listen to alot of music during the day and night but I find the volumes at the high end of the range perfect but the volumes down the low end to stark.
The gaps between 0 and 1 is no sound and then considerably loud in a quiet environment, is this a kernel related volume incriment or set by the code in cm7 somewhere?
I can't find an app to add what I'd call analouge volume control ( finer increments in DB from 0 to MAX)
Any ideas guys?

not to threadjack but how do you even use the high volume? at a volume level of 1 with my TripleFi 10 Pros is as loud as I wanna get.
I plug my SGS2 into the car and I can't go anywhere above 1/4. It's as loud as my Nexus S on FULL, and same with my iPod touch. the sound output is ridiculously loud.

This is a well known (and annoying because I use a rom that's a CM derivative) issue. I've learned to live with it & don't really want to run a standalone app just to give me fine control of volume levels, however, I found this on my travels recently. I haven't tried it, but this might be a good starting point for apps to try.

Nice find I tried about 8 apps last night, also considered a voodoo sound esque fix but we know the sgs2 has not got the correct hardware.
unless there is a voodoo sound kernel for cm7 out there but all kernels I try with cm7 give me a corrupt boot to the boot logo and then crashes and I have to hard reset.
CM7 is horrid for 3rd party Kernel support.

Since I started using the app in my sig, I only need volume on around 25-30% thru in-ears. Before that I'd have it on 80% or so. SGS2 (maybe not all, could be manufacturing variations .
Thats what i see manufacture variations .
Stock phone stock headphones no sound change apps volume level at 50% is far to high on my phone . Its an original day one released phone .

Supercurio has released Voodoo Louder for SGS2 which also boosts headphone/headset volume (by 6dB), but it doesn't give you that fine volume control.
And as JJE said in his post, with the experiences reported by SGS2 owners on here, this volume issue would appear to be a manufacture issue/dependent on which 'batch' your phone came from.

I'd like to call that unreliable information, as I never had this issue with Cognation ROM, its only become a issue with the Current CM7.1.
I'd take a look into this but I have no experience into editing the android system short of using command sin Terminal Emulator and ADB.
There must be a scale somewhere that relates to the number of volume increments and the DB output, after all there is a law regarding maximum volumes of devices in the EU and OEM's adjust there in their hardware dependant on Region, so the DB values can be adjusted some how, I just need to know where i can find it.
EDIT : This works on some handsets not my SGS2 !
Dial in *#*#197328640#*#*
Next, tap your finger onto the following, in the following order:
[5] Audio
[1] Handset
[1] Volume
[1] SRS Speech RX Volume
next notice the following defaults that pop up.
[0]0_lvl:63
[1]1_lvl:68
[2]2_lvl:73
[3]3_lvl:78
[4]4_lvl:83
[5]5_lvl:88
This basically means, that your volume up and down keys have 5 clicks, starting from the lowest setting, and click your volume up 5 times, takes you through the sequence of volumes listed above. You can change each click to be a new volume setting. For me 1-4 are fine, I just wanted max volume, which is click number 5, to be something higher. The phone does not let you to put in half increments, meaning 88.5 is not possible. So you have to use increments of 1. Please please do this carefully, dont suddenly jump to 95, you could blow out your speaker possibly. So I tried just 1 increment above 88, went to 89, and perfect, much louder now! okay so this is how you do it:
Once you get the list above, do the following:
Click your finger on [5]5_lvl:88
Next, a screen pops up asking for input. On the bottom of your phone, tap the menu button, this is the button next to the little home button.
Next tap "key input"
Next tap 1 increment at a time, lets start off with 89 so where it says enter value, tap this, your keyboard pops up, type in 89
Next Tap your menu button again
Next Tap "end"
you are now finished, make a phone call and see how 89 works for you, when your volume is set to max
Remember this volume adjustment seems to reset after you reboot the phone. Some people online are saying you can also make the volume higher by playing with the hearing aid settings, I personally haven't tried this yet.

You can call the volume loudness issue anything you want. But given the experiences of people who have posted here over the past however many months, that is what these experiences suggest.
This is what JJE & I were talking about when we mentioned the manufacture thing.
Not the fine volume issue.
Indeed, that seems to be prevalent on CM based roms. I don't recall having any problems increasing volume in small increments for the < 1 week I ran stock firmware on my phone after I bought it.
As I've said, it's not a big enough deal for me to use a standalone app, so it's definitely not a big enough deal for me to muck around with dialer codes. I saw these codes months ago before I even bought my phone, and never bothered with them. The fine volume control doesn't really bother me, I just thought I'd reply to you OP given you were after an app that enables same, and I'd found the app I gave you a link to recently.

That app did nothing, I used it and it gave me the same options as DSP gives you from CM.
The not high enough volume issue can easily be solved in CM7 but comment about that has hijacked my thread, im looking into how we can edit the fine volume adjustment or edit the increments to go from MAX to MIN volume.
Service codes don't appear to work on my handset ( CM related ? ) but I believe the service mode is built into the framework.
My satnav voice isn't nearly as loud as it used to be on Gingerbread.
I typed Service Mode number *#*#197328640#*#* into the keypad and some menus came up. When I clicked on '[5] Audio' nothing happened, so I think samsung must have locked it?
I've installed the VolumePlus 1.7.0apk, enabled Speaker Modifications, increased the volume level to +8, increased the EQ settings Volume Level to max, but it makes no difference to satnav, or music, volumes are still the same.
edit: ah, I've seen this on the play site "A Cyanogen Mod 7 or MIUI ROM is HIGHLY recommended. Running this app on a Stock ROM/Kernel may result in it not working, being far too quiet, or getting even quieter."
I'm on stock ROM. Any other volume apps for stock ROM?
So I don't know if many or any other people are having or have had this problem(could be related specifically to my car, but unlikely as you'll see later), but I feel like I've heard others mention it. I've now had this issue on multiple roms, from saurom 7.1 GB to now PA cm10 2.0 with flapps OC kernel.
The problem:
When connected to the car stereo via Bluetooth, I'd lose volume control on the dash and only have its control on the phone.
Why does this suck?
Well having to do this to adjust volume can be very annoying for several reasons, like:
1. Having to grab the phone every time you want to adjust the volume
2. Slower volume increases and decreases
3. Depreciating the phone hardware faster
4. Scaling the volume in much bigger, less precise(sometimes it will be either too loud/soft) increments
5. Potentially much lower overall loudness (depending on where the car's own volume was at when it lost control)
6. Potentially more distortion (raising the phone's volume to max to compensate increases distortion regardless of where car volume is at).
What I soon began to realize is that it happens from certain apps, like Pandora (which is usually my go to), but not for the system standard music app like Apollo (which is why I don't think the problem source is related to my car).
So, the work around I figured out for myself is loading both, pausing Pandora, playing Apollo to get volume control, then holding down the back button to kill Apollo(make sure this is enabled in developer options in phone settings), then Pandora should start playing again all by itself and still have volume control. Haven't tested it yet on other music apps, but I suspect it should work the same.
Hope this helps if anyone else had this problem.

This is my first post so bare with me. I have been wanting to use cm10 but I have the same exact problem. In my 2012 scion xb I have bt audio and use spotify and tune in radio for everything. I was using the same method as you to control volume, but when i used synergy rom for my s3 I had the car controls (dash and steering wheel) back. Although I have to re-link the bt every time I Turn my car off.... didn't have to do that with my tbolt, it stayed lined even after i shut my car on and off. Still love my s3 better though lol
Hi,
I am facing an annoying issue with Volume control at Resurrection Remix 3.1.0. (maybe at all AOKP builds). The volume slider does only take somewhere 7 steps (the half of the slider) to reach max volume. Slider will walk forward, but volume will not raise anymore. the volume reached by this half way is loud enough, the problem is, that lowest Volume ist still to loud and the granularity at all is very poor, does not find adequate volume level while listen musik, always need to play around 2 levels. Read somewhere that this could maybe fixed while changing framework to add more steps, but have no clue how to do.
I am the only one noticed this annoying issue?
Any ideas how to solve?
Thx!
I'm facing with the same problem too in CyanogenMod, but it seems to fix itself when I'm listening to music through Poweramp.
Hi,
thanks that fixed the music issue. Think poweramp will replace the for long time used mixzing player, if I am not able to find a usable player for free.
Volume issue still remains with Video player BSPlayer. any alternative for this?
I would really apreciate to find a solution to change the granularity in the settings or patch it myself to be able to choose what ever player I wnt to..
Thanks and regards
hello ...
i have a GT P7500 and after updating to JB 4.1.2
i´ve noticed that the volume through headphones
is too low ... is there anyone with same problem ???
is there a solution to this issue ...
i went through settings and could not find option
to control or to activate or check or whatever ...
need help ...
thx
I'm on jb 4.2 now, but i'm guessing you have the 'safe headset volume' in your settings, so go to
Settinhs > sound > safe headset volume > uncheck
Other than that, go to your DSP Manager app, then go to WWM8994 or something like that, if you open that, you see 'headset volume' turn up the amplifier level until you reach the sound level you want.
Hope this helped

Thanks for the tips. I don't have a "Safe headset volume" under Settings > Sound. However, I do remember it asking me the first time I used the headset plugged speakers and did uncheck it then.
I also have headset volume turned up under WWM8994.
I can get somewhat higher volume with Volume+ but it's so distorted that I can't listen to it. Again, this was fine under stock ICS. Something is amiss, I just can't find the right combination.

Check the other options in your dsp manager, if the issue is not there, try to reflash or contact the developer
