Hey all.. has anone else noticed that the output volume from the headphones it lower than the DX or D1...? Wonder if its somehting that can be tweaked via rom.. or hardware only..

Yep I noticed this as well. Its quite a bit too.
Is it possible for someone to develope something to do vlm boost. Would be handy for speaker phone calls as well.
Not sure if I'm just getting old, but dang the volume seems way too loud when I try and use headphones on my GT 10.1 Wifi. Even on the lowest level. Any way to lower the default volume level for headphones?
Yes, this is a volume level software defect stupid Samsung engineers screwed up. Its mind boggling how they tested this and thought to themselves "Yes, this is good".
Going from mute to the lowest volume level is ridiculously loud in a quiet room when using either the speakers or head phones. The funny thing is going to the next 2 or 3 steps up barely increases the volume. Its all screwed up.
It really does suck and Im not sure Samsung has any plans on fixing this.

If you rooted flash a kernel that supports voodoo sound, then download voodoo control or voodoo control plus and lower the headphone amplifier.
That does not work. Voodoo control does not work to lower the volume. Yes there is an option to lower the gain on the amplifier but it does not work and its very buggy when you map the hardware volume buttons to the voodoo gain control. I tried it.

Voodoo control works for me. Rooted with Starbust UEKME and pershoot's kernel. I have custom IEMs with an input sensitivity of 119dB at 1mW. I have to set it to -55 dB on Voodoo.
ya but thats just for headphones. Does not change the speakers volume.
But it would work for the op as he was talking about headphones

For some reason I don't have this problem. I have never used lower volume then about 25%, usually it's at about 50%. BTW my hearing is just fine. I use a-JAYS Three headphones.
I think the impedance of the headphones plays a role in this. Headphones with lower impedance are louder.
Yes impedance definitely plays a role but the problem is with standard headphone impedance the volume is WAY too loud.
This is a big problem with the tab 10. Speakers play way too loud at the lowest volume setting....you hear me Samsung!! You hear me!!!!!
I just tried the built in speakers, one step up from muted and i can hear that it's playing very quietly if i hold the tablet normally. I need to put my ear next to the speaker to really hear enough to understand what song is playing.
So clearly my tablet doesn't have this problem.
On a standard UK rom here and my speakers appear to be fine, not too loud. Odd.

There is nothing odd about it. Your unit is exactly the same as ours. Different people have different hearing sensitivity. My hearing is excellent and above average so I can hear the music play too loud even on the lowest setting. Others will figure it is fine as hearing sensitivity varies.
The volume levels are simply all screwed up. You can see for yourself as turning the volume from 1 to the next 2 levels and the volume barely increases. Going from 1 to 2 almost does not even increase the volume at all. Going to 3 only increases it slightly then 4 and up increase at too high of levels to make up for the lack of volume increase going from 1 - 2 and 2 - 3. The levels are all screwed up. Horrible job by samsung.
I also have this issue!! The volume can' t be changed when using headphones and the volume is too loud for normal use
You can buy headphones with a volume control or a in-line volume control adapter for headphones but that still does not resolve the issue for the output to the speakers.
I don't use headphones much, but I do run a cable from phone to my car stereo. The output volume is about 30% lower than it was with my old Galaxy Note. I am making sure the media volume is cranked to the max on the phone.
I know on the older Gingerbread phones we would use Volume+ to give it a little bump but I don't think any of those work with Jelly Bean.
Has anyone noticed this and found any solution?

You can try adjusting the volume on the MP3 files using MP3 Gain.
I use it to normalize the volume of my MP3s and make them louder.
Is there a way to increase the maximum headphones volume ?
Yes buy another headphone i am already on samsung one and soud is awesome
i use Denon AH-C50MA and sound is great
What's you headphones impedance? Mine piston 2's are loud even 3 volume bars @ 16ohm
Well i don't care about my earphones impedance as my previous smartphone (S3) could easily drive these with louder sound.
I think i will probably give a try with Viper4Android.
I also find the Honor 7 volume levels too low. The phone speaker as well as the headset.
Call volume is low as well but you can fix that by setting it into speaker mode.
The low headset volume annoys me the most. (I use HQ headset)
I found the service mode menu and had hoped i could increase headset volume levels there.

Sadly, there is no option. I tried some apps from the playstore but they didnt do anything.
I'm currently (officially) participating in the Android 6 Beta so am not rooted or anything.
Is there a way i can increase the level already?
Or maybe once I have the final Android 6, can i root/unlock the phone and increase the volume in another manner? I want to stay on the original roms, dont want to flash something else on my phone.
Anyone else finding this annoying as well and has a fix?
I am running 80ohm sennheiser dt880 and the volume is high enough for me so every mobile headphone with 32ohm should be easily powered to painful volume . Not sure which media you play, but if you need higher volume i suggest a mobile dac as headphone amplifier
Hi everyone. Have you tried to play some music at maximum volume?
My phone audio play it distorted and the volume is really low. Hope it's a software bug!!!

That happened to me once, I rebooted my phone and the distortion went away:good:
I guess you're right. After the reboot doesn't make it anymore. Think it's really a bug. Hope they fix it
if it happens again just double check outdoor mode is off just in case. it sounds pretty bad, even at lower volumes.
side note, has anyone tried viper4android yet? curious to know if it runs yet since the built in ROG eq only covers from 250hz to 8khz, viper gives you 60hz to 16khz I believe
ive had the same speaker bug that resetting seems to correct
but what im wondering is if anyone knows how to increase the headphone jack volume
im almost always on max volume with how low the audio is
I've been having problems with the aux jack being distorted only in my car. That's been going on for the week I've had mine, but just last night I had really poor audio from my Bluetooth earbuds. A restart fixed it but it's becoming a big enough pain I'm considering returning it.
Edit: Using the fan attachment and the aux jack on it yields normal, staticless audio.

I had to install the BOSE Companion App in order to increase the Volume to my BT Headphones
