[Q] Low speaker volume - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Atrix's speaker has low sound output (like almost 50% of the volume of my Motorola Defy). I even installed CM7 rom to try with the DSP Manager but all in vain. Is there any way I can get the volume noticeable (if its ringing in the other room, I can hardly hear the ringtone)? or does the atrix comes factory shipped with such low-volume speaker?
Earphone is fine.

Check if you've checked low volume option

Volume changes by itself sometimes

Anyone else get this? Randomly I just checked and all my volumes were maxed out and I didn't touch anything lol...I do notice that system volume maxes out by itself even when I lower it..I'm using sound manager as my volume app btw

Maybe you should post this in the Nexus forums! J/k. Nope I haven't any issues w/ the volume changing on its own.
Lol I must just be nuts...maybe I did accidentally adjust it and didn't realize it...either way, atleast it got louder and didn't go to zero like some phones...haha

Nope, you're not nuts. I use AudioManager and after silencing system volume, it will restore to the loudest setting on its own. However, I haven't noticed it with any of the other volumes.

Or I'm wondering if system volume doesn't do anything on this phone...maybe they got rid of system volume so it just defaults to max. It hasn't effected any of my volumes yet...I don't notice any noise to be maxed out

Nah man,"ghost in the machine" it's not satisfied just with the Nexus.
I posted about this a couple days after I got my phone. I didn't know if we had sound profiles in Sense I was unaware of or something. I since haven't had the issue, so I don't know WTF was up. Maybe the volume rocker is active even when the screen is off and my pocket pushed it?
I noticed mine sometimes is lower then what I set it at. But I wouldnt doubt it being accidently pushed!!
Btw,I may not have experienced the volume issue, but the Google search screen pops up regularly and this wifi screen pops up occasionally also even though I always leave wifi disabled.
No phone!!!... Bad!!!
Is it the one to notify you WiFi is available when you open an app? You can disable that in WiFi settings.

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

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.

Decompile your framework.jar and edit sound table.

[Q] Notification sounds not playing through headphones

Curious if anyone else has noticed this / knows how to "fix" it.
When I have my headphones plugged in, the notification sounds (eg the default new message "whistle") comes out the speaker instead. The sound in the headphone (music) will mute during this. I've had to resort to turning the notification volume off during work hours, so the sound doesn't disturb others at work - surely these sounds should be coming through headphones while they are plugged in?
Hello,
I'm with the same issue! It's very odd...
Any thoughts about this? Btw, I'm not using stock headset (I'm not used to in-ear headphones).
Yeah add another +1 to this....!!!
Not tried with stock headphones I have a set of Bluetooth ones and I get all notifications through them .
I'll take look in settings .

Actually I double check again, theres a "notification" sound going through headset. the only problem is it's playing simultaneously with the phone speaker. Really annoying specially if I'm in the office cause others can hear the notification sound too.
An android bug, apparently

This is a long-standing Android bug that manifests on many, though not all, phones. Google for "android notification sounds headphones" and you find many complaints about it, and a Google bug report with comments going back to 2010.
There is a apparently an easy way to patch it if your phone is rooted (though I cannot find info on exactly HOW) and there is a script here on XDA for use with the Tasker app ($6 or so in the Playstore) that can address it.
Other than that, the only thing to do to minimize annoyance to your coworkers is turn notification sounds to silent when using headphones. There are volume profile apps that can do this automatically.
In this bug report https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6696 and this one https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16667 it said that's a problem with ICS, that is supposed to be fixed in JB and that CM have their own fix for this.
Let's hope that S3 JB release will fix it.
this problem has been bugging me too..hope its fixed in the next update.

Loud speaker

When watching YouTube or anything else that has to do with the loud speaker. While watching a video turn the volume all the way down. I hear buzzing noises and pops. Anyone else?
Edit: I noticed this when i did the volume boost mod and promptly removed the mod. but it is still present just not as loud.

When I play videos , right after I pause it, I can hear tiny buzzing noise for 3 secs, then it stops. Whatever sound setting I use, cant get rid of that tiny buzz. May i know your setting, can you get rid of the buzz completely?
Edit : I never try playing videos with volume all the way down, I just did, and the buzz is there as long as the video is being played, but when I pause it, I still can hear it for another 3 secs, then it stops.

Increase Sony Z2 volume

Can anyone create a mod to increase the headphone volume to 200%?
I am running RomAur and the mod that is included with it only increases it to 150% but it still sounds weak even when I use my over the ear headphones and adjust the equalizer.
Can anyone do this?

I don't know about volume mod but the way I increase headphone volume is that I bought a small amplifier so that dont have to mind about phone volume at all.
Can you provide a link?

Just Google it, Fiio x6, they are around $25, but it will only up the volume on the headphone output, phone speaker and bluetooth still the same.
You can't just keep increasing the headphone volume infinitely, there comes a point at which it cannot go any louder. If you have a hearing impairment then perhaps you should have made the phone volume a priority when you chose a handset. The HTC phones have a louder sound if that is what you need.

I found a solution from a member in the forums.
Solution:
Doom kernel + faux sound app.
This will make your phone sound like a HTC M8 both speakers and headphones
Volume can go as far as about 400%
