I remember this problem from Galaxy S4 where the volume had to be cranked to 80-90% just to be loud enough and enjoyable (without damaging the ears)
Is there a fix for this without root? I can't remember how I fixed it on S4.
Headphone works fine for me.

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.
Hi, question is simple, it's galaxy S2 audio So crappy that it isn't worth the moving from i9000 to i9100?
1)I'm not an audophile, but it's really THAT noticeable the audio quality diference between those two?
2)Does supercurio's "Voodoo Louder!" makes sound S2 sound loud as S1? or S1 is still louder than S2?
(I know that louder doesn't mean better quality, but this question is different from first)
well, that is all
I think it's absolutely fine. I'm not a music snob either. I haven't tried Voodoo Louder so I can't comment, but I can say that I've noticed a HUGE volume boost since I've moved over to MIUI. But yeah, the sound is fine, bare in mind that I've never used a SGS though.

i'm using Voodoo Louder ... audiobeats mod for S2 ... PowerAmp and Equalizer ...
that's the best combination [so far] for my S2

I tested on first purchase with both phones .
No difference .

My S2 is loud at 30% volume 50% is to loud .
The defining point for many is relatively simple SGS2 not so good at the low end .
So if you listen to boom boom bang bang extra bass stuff its not that good .

I used the stock rom for like 20 minutes before rooting. since the I used miui & omega and never had a problem with the loudness and/or sound quality.

Hi - I also have volume issues & have been thinking about switching to MIUI. can you tell me what ROM you are using?
I just switched from HTC HD2 running MIUI & I do miss it
Thanks
Hi. I got an SGSII and i also have Beats By Dre Headphones. The sound quality is amazing with PowerAMP, some EQ tweaks. I installed Beats audio but that was bad. It sounded cheap. Lower bass and the Mids & Highs were bad as well. I restored the stock Audio which is amazing for me.

Flash Beats Audio..
Hey if your phone is rooted...you can always have beats audio on your phone like the htc phones....it really makes a difference..
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/beats-audio-now-available-on-any-gingerbread-rom/
Grrr. Beats only "makes a difference" if you don't know how music is suppose to sound and enjoy over-mastered music normalised to 99% so "it sounds good" to the masses. Or you're one of the annoying ones which put 2 x 500W subwoofers in their car (but they'll go deaf by 25, so that's ok, just cleaning the gene pool).
http://www.head-fi.org/t/534236/beats-by-dre-pro-indepth-review
The soundsignature could very well be described as muddy with overbearing low end even more than the studios already had. [...] the beats fell short no matter what I tried.

On topic: the sound quality of the SGS 2 isn't bad, but not spectacular either. It really depends on your expectations; if you expect it to sound as a 1000$ hi-fi device, then search somewhere else. As you're listening to music on a *portable* device, you'll have external noise anyway; better get a pair of quality in-ear headphones (with good insulation); this will allow you to reduce outside noise and keep the volume down (so you'll still have hearing when you get old).

The SQ is worse than my £30 Sansa Clip... It's acceptable, but no more IMHO. For "serious portable music", I stick with my S9 and Senny IE8s. Just use the phone for music for trips to work. YMMV.
It definitely depends upon your music .
How its coded and what format .
SGS2 is not very good with boom boom stuff as its weak at the low end .
Sound level does vary on phones ( or we have a load of deaf users ) their are a number of apps that may help .
Stock phones or Cheapish Sure or Sennheiser sound level at 30% and no problems on my phone .
Tweaked very slightly with Volume + free app and Visang RO2 IEM for slightly better overall natural timbre .

Beats audio makes a difference with high end headphones like the beats ones.........AS THEY ALREADY HAVE IT....BEATS AUDIO IS THE ONLY OPTION FOR THEM TO MAKE MUSIC BETTER....nobody is saying that you hook up your phone to a sub woofer.........
Yep Beats are high end/quality canalphones alright Muddier than CX300's.
Hi to all,
I recently switched from an iPhone 6 to the Galaxy S6 Edge and I am having a problem with the Aux-Out volume being too low. I still have the iPhone 6 and particularly when I try it out in my car at the aux-out, it is way too low compared to the iPhone which is very loud.
What is the reason for this and how can it be fixed? I am very disappointed with the phone because of this, it renders it useless for playing music from it to a sound system or anything else because the volume is so weak.
when your playing audo through aux out in your car use the phones volume buttons to turn it up, I had the same problem and realised it needed turning up on the actual phone rather than the head unit in the car.
That is the first thing I did, the volume is all the way up and that is how it is.

maybe a dodgy connection then, does your headunit have BT? if so try using that.
also you could try downloading viper4android. that will definitely help
Probably Faulty connector. I use my phone with the stereo in my car and the volume is fine. My stereo never hits over 50%, otherwise it would blow my ears off.
I generally set my phone volume one notch under max.
every galaxy s model is always an excellent phone, but every year i have the same complaint with the headphone loudness. The headphones that come with it are great and i know they could handle more power. Anyone tried any non root way to increase the sound?
you need it louder? I have mine down one to two clicks from the bottom and it's almost too loud for me sometimes. I am around loud cars and trucks all day (I own both) but I guess my hearing is better than I thought lol.
unless you want a stronger sound and more power to the headphones for a cleaner richer sound, you'll need an external dac for that. I've never seen a phone capable of coming close to an external DAC (just look at their size, they wouldn't fit in a phone and be realistic.)

The sound on my pixel 3 is real low . Is there a mod out there that will increase the volume
Tia
if the phone originally came with low volume I wouldn't suggest using any kind of mods it cants destroy your speakers just get BT speakers they are really cheap nowadays
Bluetooth speakers won't help with the low ringer volume as carrying around a Bluetooth speaker is not feasible

Have you checked the speaker grids? Dust covered and blocked mine so completely that I could not hear a thing! Both speaker and earpiece were blocked. To check this, wipe with a damp cloth and blow on the speakers. If the volume increases you found your problem, just as I did. But... to really correct the problem you will need to get a professional cell phone repairman to disassemble the handset or, do it yourself. Personally, I was content with the results from cleaning it without opening it.
