Maybe I am getting old - but the volume on this device seems pretty low.
When watching a movie even with headphones - I need to set the volume at 13 to 15 (and the max I can get is 15) ....
Is there a way to improve this?

Speakers volume is pathetic specially after 7.0 update!

I spend most my time in a library with in-ear headphones and the lowest volume is just too loud for me. Is there any way to change the volume rocker's (or slider's) increments?
I'm using Vegan 5.1.1
Sorry Hachi, I dont have an answer for you.
But I am bumping this post up because I have the same problem.
Also took 5 minutes of searching to find this post.
Has anyone found a solution to this yet?
Thanks
Tnt Lite. I had vegan before and lowest setting is still loud. Tnt Lite works. Just do a backup first and try TNT
I would also like to know if there is a solution for this. I am currently running VEGAN 5.1 and when I listen to music only the first half of the media volume does anything. From half to full I dont really notice a difference. I would like to be able to properly spread it out so when I turn it up the max volume on the screen is also the max volume of the device.
I am using TNT Lite 4.4 and noticed the volume is very low until the last setting, not a linear curve.
try using Quick Settings from the market. it allows you to tweak the volume a whole lot more than the stock settings menu.

This does help with system level volume items, but as far as media being played even at 1/10 the volume is too loud.
Fortunately using my blue-tooth headphones I have found I can use the in-line volume control to make it a reasonable level. I just don't know what I will do on an airplane.
Can you keep your BT awake while the screen is off?

Running vegan 5.1
I just tested with locking the screen and had no problems playing music with the stock player, tested for around 12 minutes. After that i set my sleep to 2 minutes, started a song and walked away with the screen still on. The screen went to sleep but the music kept playing, tested for two songs.
Good question and sorry I don't have an answer, but I'm glad you asked. I've seen huge volume differences in different apps. For example, Angy Birds is too loud for quiet settings even at the lowest volume level while some web sites are too low even at the highest settings.
Try the free poweramp app in the market. Go into the eq settings and adjust output. This solved a volume issue for me
All my other volumes on my SGS3 LTE 9305 is set to max. But when I plugin a set of headphones the phone somehow defaults to a lower volume in the headphones. And I dont want that . But is there any way to change it so that the headphone volume consistanly remains at max and doesn't automatically reduce it self to half whenever you plug in headphones.
It does this so that you don't blow your ears off, it's a safety feature and one that many people like. Have no idea how to turn it off. I've only seen the option in CM10/AOKP Roms
1: I don't like it
2: kicking the volume down to half is just stupid. Its not that high, even at full volume
I just hope someone knows how to either disable it or hack it off

Saying the volume isn't high is subjective. I for one have never needed to run my M2's at full volume on the S3. I'd go deaf. I'm sure there is a solution to disable it though. Worse case scenario? Flash a AOSP/AOKP Rom
This is a simple modification to the MTK Settings
It's tested in the following roms: (might work on 6.0 but not sure)
- Stock Rom
- Eragon V1
What it does, it enhances the headphone's sound to its full potential
All you have to do is:
1: Enable Debug Options (settings, about phone, press build version several times, go back to settings and there should be a new option there, open it and close settings).
2: Download MTK Engineering Mode from playstore.
3: After Installing it, Open it and select MTK Settings.
4: Go on Hardware Testing - Audio - Volume - Audio Playback.
5: On 3/4-pole Headset set the Headset PGA to 160 and save.
6: Test and see the differences ?
It's a really simple modification, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask ?
hi, I did that but volume is still too low for me (I'm hard on hearing).
do you know which file contains those values, I would like to set it higher than 160 (I'm rooted)?

you cant set to higher than that, and even if it could it would just degrade the speakers even more, causing to either malfunction or lose eveb more volume to a point of no returb... This is a modification to the earphones only, you can mess with the speakers and put on the max that the app allows, but thats it, anything above the limits will degrade the speakers.

thank you for your response!
sorry if I didn't make it clear; I was talking about earphones, not phone speaker. I want louder sound on my earphones!
I edited some volume file in vendor\etc folder, made headset PGA value to 250, but it didn't do anything...

The 160 is the max volume.
So, if instead of applying for 3/4 pole Headset I apply it for Speaker label it will improve the sound on my Elephone speaker?

it might enhance, but the sound quality is already bad.. enhancing it even more will mostlikelly cause even more distortion
Hey guys. I've been getting annoyed by the audio lowering itself when watching videos. Happens on any player, but especially on Youtube. Like I have the volume on about 60%, sounds great, and then it just cuts down the volume to let's say 40% while it is still set to 60%. Has anyone ever experienced this? It's extremely annoying and it happens after about a minute of watching a video.
Thank you!

I have the same on YouTube, just pause the vid for a few seconds and the volume returns..... it's a nasty bugggggg
Wait what ...! That's a bug i was tooling my self al this TIME ..i always notice that sound sometimes feels too low at max vol ...i though its surrounding noise marking sound less audible ..huhh i also blame doob settings ...lol
Awful bug with 9.1, on mine mate 20 x it's the same issue.
I reported this to Huawei months ago.
Experiencing the same(?) issue:
When my volume is set quite low and I play a video or even just music on the stock music player app, it plays normal for about 10 seconds and then the audio gradually (during about 2 seconds) lowers to less than half the original set volume and then it stays low like that.
The volume slider itself stays the same.
Like demon2112 suggested, pausing the playback for a short moment (at least 3 seconds) indeed fixes the issue but then again 10 seconds later the issue comes back.
I don't think the issue happens when the volume is set higher; only on low volumes levels.
Also, I'm pretty sure it is only the bottom speaker which lowers in volume.
If I listen only to the earpiece (by blocking the bottom speaker), it does not appear to change.
Is this the same for you guys?
Issue still happens on 9.1.0.323

Nope.
On Android 9.0 it worked perfectly
I face this bug also. It is very annoying. It's like the sound "moves" to the earspeaker. I am on .180
I have the same problem. 9.1.0.358. Maybe there is some system settings we could tinker with?

I tried everything in sound settings and settings related to sound or multimeedia in dev options. Tried both on android 9 and 10. None of that worked. I saw somewhere that it can be resolved by turning off stereo+ option but there is no option like that on this phone. When I was using beta of android 10 I reported this issue several times and as we can see with no positive resultat.
Fix for me
Turn sound+ on, switch Dolby from Smart to music with flat eq

Any solution for this. Been having this issue since I upgraded the software.
I have EMIUI 10.1 on my Mate 20 pro and still no fix.
So EMUI 10.1 isn't a real update. Some cosmetic changes, thats all.
I have searched through here for hours now... I'm trying to figure out how to boost the volume on my Google pixel 6. Does anyone know how to make the volume louder coming out of the speaker?
I use the Wavelet app to increase volume, makes a huge difference. I turn on Legacy Mode, Graphic Equalizer & Limiter.
In Graphic Equalizer, use Personal Preset & turn up everything.
In Limiter, zero everything (threshold can be -2) & increase Post-gain to max.

I tried out wavelet as an experiment with my pixel 6 unrooted, and the limiter regardless of the post gain settings causes too much distortion for my ears. Root your phone and install Viper, then you can gain it to max, with zero distortion.
isnt there volume boost in accessibility?
