That's an issue I've never had with the N9. Are there certain video sources that are lower than others? If you are watching local/downloaded videos, MX player has volume boost built right in which makes the sound significantly louder.

Samsung music player needs Samsung TW framework, hence no way. Maybe try one of the thousand other music players in the Play Store?
Yeah if you can put a slight amount of money aside to buy poweramp, you won't be sdisappointed.

Thanks for suggestion. Very nice music player indeed.
But still m missing the loud sound of the stock music player. Is there any way this rooting is creating this issue?

Thats one of the great things of poweramp, you can make it loader.
rooting itself will not affect volume. It's probably a ROM thing. Custom Kernels such as Devil (link in my signature) will allow you to increase headphone output to.

[Q] WoW sound effects

There are several apps that affect sound quality:
Noozxoide is one
There's viper for android, I've been trying to get this to work on my SGP5 running pac-rom 4.3 but have had no luck. works on 4.2 though
There's also flashable zip files that you can try like ac!d audio, awesome beats, and pure audio, i've had no success with those myself.
Also depends on your audio player, theres noozy, neutron player, poweramp (my choice).

Just install Google Play Music..
Automatically syncs with DSP manager
:good:
really good sound
dsp manager and apollo make by far the best sound for my music, I immediately noticed the difference, I downloaded other music players and by far nothing beats apollo and dsp manager and tbh I am not particularly fond of how apollo player works, i dont like the fact it doesnt have the ability to play music by folders and when you are searching for a particular song it wont give a drop down menu with pre-search matches like most other players do, it is clunky to make a 'play list' not really great for helping you search the song you need to find (specially when you got 10gigs of music in your sd card) but I just cant leave apollo+dsp player due to how amazing the sound quality is, and I know prob some musicians or sound experts out there can get better sound quality with other players that have the advanced features to tune different sounds but I am not a sound expert and I dont really know how to 'tune' this players to what I get out of the box with apollo+dsp manager.
Does anyone know of a player that syncs with dsp manager as well as apollo does, I tried a few but no cigar

Try Play music,,
Now I am using Viper4android with toggling between Play music and xperia walkmaan Music player... It is awesome..
Just buy a decent pair of in-ears (what I prefer) or buy good headphones.
Also it's a bit of a personal thing, others want more bass and less treble.. Also depends on what kind of music you listen.
Personally I like and have the Sennheiser CX-400 Precision, it produces a ''Lifelike Sound''. It all sounds really natural.
Also depends if you buy/download the song in ''Original state'' MP3 file in 320kbps or FLAC (around 1000kbps) or rip it from YouTube. Want to mention that you almost can't notice any difference between MP3 and FLAC when listening with normal speakers, with good headphones/in-ears you do but not a lot, but you can hear the sound is a bit more sharp.
The worst thing you can do is rip song from YouTube because it's already converted once while uploading it so audio quality isn't as good as the original copy, and then you are gonna rip it from YouTube and than it becomes again a bit worse, even if you convert it to 320kbps, it is already not a real 320kbps one anymore.
About the music players.. I'm stuck with Poweramp, with his features like cross-fade which you can set per ms, the themes you can apply for a nice KitKat/Jelly Bean or whatever you want interface, and the ability that you can long-press the song you're playing at the moment and get a pop-up of,
1) All the music from that specific artist.
2) The whole album of the relevant song you're playing.
3) The map where the file is in.
Good audio quality depends on multiple things.
Peace.

Yup most my music is either 192 or 320kbps just because I 'suffer' from real fine audio detection in my ears and it bugs the **** out of me when my music doesnt sound crisp and detailed with each instrument noticeable within the music. I call it 'suffering' because when I hear the fukin radio or some other low quality audio source (Pandora on low bandwith setting blaawhh).
So I immediately noticed when I played music through Apollo with the DSP manager in the settings I preferred. I have tried power amp, google play music, and many other players and equalizers in the Play Store and around the web (viper4android) and its just not the same for MY preference of audio. Granted I am not an audio engineer so it is prob me not knowing how to tune the different audio tools but for my low level audio exp Apollo+dsp manager in android kitkat has been by far my favorite.

(Z7 Mini) Sound quality of the videos recorded

Hi.
Anyone has the same awful sound from the videos recorded with the Z7 Mini? I have this problem and the videos that i saw on youtube too.
It seems that the noise reduction is activated but there's no way to disable it from the settings.

yes. cutting out like 90% of the sounds. Only voices are ok

Question So apparently the mi pad 5 pro is 'Hi-Res' certified.

On the back of my original packaging/box there is a 'hi res audio' certification, however i cannot for the life of me seem to find the hi res option in the OS??
Even with an external DAC it's only outputting a max of 48khz... ;(
Which audio player are you using to check? It should work in USB Audio Player Pro or Neutron MP.
Well I've used apple music for hi res playback but even tidal doesn't seem to have any adjustments - the music does sound great on these speakers it has like it's super loud and really comes at you

The Dev menu has some HD audio section but you are unable to toggle to get into the settings.
Nice to have a look.
