Since flashing Scott's CleanRom 4.0.5 I've noticed that the volume output on the headset jack is low. Is there a mod or someway to crank it up? I use it to output audio to my car and since I flash I have to crank the volume on my car stereo to the highest level just to get a decent volume.
Thank you.
Funny, I have noticed that I have a similar issue on the Note 2 with Bluetooth. The S3 is fine but the note 2 is about half the volume of the S3.

I manually edited the file specified. I noticed that the values for headset for set very low in the config file, after bumping them up and restarting the phone everything was good!

So idk if this is a cm7 thing on the SGS2 or if it's the phone itself, and but the volume is super loud. I have it at 1, and it's what I would normally listen to music at with headphones. 3 is about as loud as I'll go. I can't imagine going up to like 10 or something. Is this just me?

might actually be the headphones you are using. try using a pair with different amps, and see if the problem still persists.
I'm using Bose IE2s. And they were pretty normal with my inspire...
I also don't have another pair

Having the same problem with CM7 on my SG2. Volume at 1 is normal listening level with anything higher being too loud.
It's consistent using earbuds and headphones.
I have the same thing going on with my SGSII/CM7.2.0 RC0
It's not really a problem for me but it is odd. This is with a pair of iPod earbuds which I typically only use at the gym. Volume at level 3 is plenty loud. I'm sure the earbuds would blow at louder volumes alond with my ear drums. Anyway, the sound is still clear so I just keep the volume lower. As far as testing with something else, it's normal when I plug up to an auxiliary in on a small stereo at home. So, it must be the headphone/earbuds.
There's an app called anEq equalizer that some have been able to use to make the volume 'quieter'.
Seems it's an already noted issue with cyanogenmod. Hopefully it'll get fixed.

Using this app now and it does make it little quieter.
The app requires a service to run in the background to perform the task so it isn't ideal but will work fine till they fix it.
Thanks
When I'm in my car listening to music through my note I'm always having a problem with getting the most out of my car speakers
For example: (I have equalizers btw) ill dim the volume on the phone but raise the car volume
Sometimes its better or worse when you raise the phone volume all the way and handle it wig the car speakers
Although the lower the phone volume he more, "clear" from the speakers -but not as loud
SO WHAT DO U GUYS DO TO ADJUST YOUR MUSIC

Yup, that's the way to do it, maybe even 80-90%...unless of course you want to save more battery, then you'd lower the phone volume more

Max out volume on proamp, head unit eq on flat, tweak the eq on proamp, adjust the gain if sounds overdone. I've also set all proamp eq levels on max and its loud as hell

Just have a stock radio in car. No amps or anything but the stock is a decent unit for my needs. I turn the phone about 90% up then adjust from the car unit. Sound is always good for me. I'd say experiment and see what works for you. Don't forget to try an equalizer on and off from the phone. It's really a personal taste thing in my view.
I max out the volume on the note and adjust through the car speakers. I'm having to use an FM transmitter also, as my '05 doesn't have aux in. Still, it sounds great. Even better once i flashed the Beats eq.

In this case your phone is essentially a pure amp while your head unit is the power amp. Even at Max volume, your phone shouldn't be distorting the volume output. You want it all the way or nearly all the way up to allow as much headroom as possible for your power amp. You also don't want to re eq an eqd signal. Decide whether you like your phones or your stereos eq better, and set the other flat. You'll almost always have to tweak a bit further as line in mp3 will have different sound characteristics as a CD or the radio. Also, for the love of God, don't use 128kbps songs like most people.

The one thing I'm trying to figure out is engine noise.
Anyone else getting that or even know what I'm talking about?
if I have my phone plugged into my via head phone jack and nothing is playing on it, you hear a high pitch noise that fluctuates according to the rpms of the engine.
Would be awesome if there was an app to white noise it out or something, haven't checked though.

Do a search on 'inline noise suppressor'. This might help. You could also look at moving the radio's ground wire to a different location and might solve your noise.

After looking that up, I have determined that is not the solution for me. I'm dealing with a factory, stock car aux setup, it shouldn't be giving me problems and as a matter of fact my prior iPhone 3g didn't have this problem at all. I believe this happens with two cars that I've used it in, so while it is related to the car and specifically the engine's RPMs, I believe this can be fixed via the phone for the following reason:
When I push the back button on the phone while it's plugged in it will briefly silence the noise, also when I play Pandora the noise only appears between songs, and no it's not still there being covered up, I would be able to distinguish it in the music.
Anyway, hope someone had another fix for this. Could potentially be a hot selling app if you could figure it out.

what else has changed besides the phone? the charger perhaps? where do you keep your phone? do you keep your phone on it's charger while you listen to it via your stereo?
I run a satilite radio in my truck that runs through an aux line I installed and I get engine noise for a couple of reasons. My aux line isn't heavy duty and sits next to my firewall and effected by the EMI of my engine. The power cable isn't shielded and doesn't have any in line suppression so it's effect from the truck alternator, no matter how clean the signal is, varries as your engine's RPMs move. I run into the same issues with my phone, all of this is in a Sierra Denali truck with a Bose system and also occurrs in my BMW. So no matter how much you paid for a vehicle, it still can be a factor.
So try an inline noise suppressor, they're like $10 at radio shack and if it doesn't work take it back.
You'd be surprised of the effects electricity and EMI will do to your audio.

For the past few days ive been trying to decide between poweramp and google music with EQualizer app..
My old thunderbolt using poweramp contected to my trucks aux jack, the volume was steady and clear from 0-10 (on deck).
Im noticing on this rezound it seems to max out around 6. Going any higher only seems to "hollow out" the tone. Volume doesnt increase..
Anyone else notice anything like this?

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.

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.

When I use my S4 to play Pandora through my car speakers via bluetooth, the volume drops to almost a whisper when compared to the car radio playing FM or Sirius music. In order to hear Pandora at all I need to drastically turn up the radio. When I disconnect Pandora the car audio volume is soooo loud I'm concerned I could damage the speakers.
In the past I've used Volume+ and Equalizer on my Galaxy Nexus but it seems both of these apps just make the volume lower not louder. Does anyone know of an app I can use to make the bluetooth volume louder so i can match it to the volume of my radio?
I just bought the phone so I'm rooted but it is the VRUAME7 version so I don't have a way of uploading mods through recovery, so please point me towards an app solution.
Thank you,

In my opinion its the fault of whatever you are using to recieve the bluetooth (eg your radio if its built in) I have a car with built in bluetooth as well and mine has the same volume as the fm radio if anything bluetooth audio coming out of the s4 is waaay louder than what comes out the headphone jack.
I had this problem in the past and got nowhere basically the phone sends raw data to the Bluetooth reciever and its up to the reciever to amplify it (whereas with the headphone jack the phone is responible for the amplification) hope im wrong and someone has found a way though

Interesting, I hear you. I'll blame the bluetooth in the receiver but I am hopeful there is a program that i can use through Llama that every time I connect I can have the program go on and when I close the program it goes off.
