headphone is not loud enough for mp3 - General Topics

Hi, while I try to use headphone to listen mp3, it's alway not loud enough even I put the system volume to the max. It is any other way to boost the volume to make it louder thought my headphone, the one go from 2.5mm audio jack.
I couldn't find anything about how to make the headphone louder, not thought bt headphone.
Furthermore, is it tools to control the volume for different applications. I think it would be very handy if we can have different volume setting for different applications, say, I alway have to adjust the volume of my windows media player to max, and if I'm using sip phone, I have to change to another setting, and another setting for my reminder in order not to scare others.

Qtek 8310 sound

Can you tell me how many speakers 8310 has? When I play mp3 song from it (192Kbps), it plays sound from the speaker which is used for conversation. And the sound is not very loud (earpeace volume is set to maximum).
Is there only one speaker present? Should I avoid playing music, in order to keep the quality of the speaker on the level it is now, since I don't want to loose conversation sound quality?
Tornado has just one internal speaker
This is not true, it has two of them, one for the earpiece (very tiny) and one for the speakerphone, also used for the ringer. Just search the net for photos of disassembled Tornados or other HTC smartphones.
If you play music and do not have the headset connected, then the bigger speaker is used - and you can't kill it by playing music. The smaller one is only used for phone conversations. The volume level label "earpiece volume" is misleading - it always levels the complete system output audio level (it seems to be stored separately per profile or per situation, e.g. "in call" is remembered separately). It is usually set to full level. Applications (like media player) should not adjust this master volume, but their own playback volume only.

headphones are too loud in all ROMs

The headphones I plug in to my AT&T Fuze always output sound at ridiculously high volume, while the volume on the device's main speaker sans headphones is fine. Are these two settings--headphone volume vs. main speaker volume--at all decoupled? I've searched the forums to the best of my ability but can't seem to find a fix.
I can change the volume for specific programs, like the built-in HTC media player, but then someone calls me or my calendar produces an appointment alert while I'm listening to music and my head explodes from the gazillion decibels injected directly into my ear. I can also put the overall system volume way low, but then I have to change it back up every time I take off headphones. Is there any way to change the global headphone volume?
Also I don't think it's a problem specific to my headphones, since I've tried two different kinds (both earbuds), nor to a specific ROM, since I've used ROMeOS, Elite, and RRE with the same problem in each.

Ringtone alternatives

I have a hard time hearing the LG G2x's ringer even when using really loud or obnoxious ringtones. Is there anything I can do to plug my device into a System, PC, MP3 Player, BT Paired Speakers alone,et.. AND MAKE the Ringtone/Ringer come through these External speakers So that I can hear the ringtone on these really loud OTHER device's Speakers?
I have tried to just plug a 3.5mm (male to male) cord into an expensive MP3 Speaker system, and I was able to hear my audio (music, and application sounds) great, and loud! - but when I put a call into the G2x, the ringer/ringtone was SILENT. I don't know what else to do, there seems to be no options to force ringtone to ring through external speakers (even the PC would be fine if there was an app that had a type of UI on the PC for such a thing, I think mp3 players, or even ipod players may be an answer too, I just don;t know how ir could be set up,... But maybe I'm over-thinking this and it's actually something really simple that one of the more Android-tech-Savvy people can answer. I'm new to the Andriod scene and like the G2x, but I need it to be set to ring through LOUD speakers so I can hear it in another room if need be. Any suggestions would be great!

[Q] Bluetooth Audio Issues

So I ordered the GoGroove Bluegate Bluetooth Receiver from Amazon the other day and my package was delivered today! Woohoo!
I got everything set up in my room and was very impressed. I'm no audiophile, but I noticed no difference in quality between the Headphone jack and BT audio.
So out to my truck I went, got it all wired up the way I like, and started playing some tunes.
On Batakang 1.00 and using DoubleTwist, the volume was WAY TOO LOUD. It was also pretty distorted. So I made sure the stereo, BT volume, and media volume were all at the lowest settings to no avail. Still incredibly loud.
Is this phone just loud as hell? I know the external speaker is louder than most other phones. Is it software or hardware? Is there any way I can force the volume down? (Side note, I miss the expandable volume controls after pressing the rocker in CM9/CM10)
Any help is appreciated!
Use Audio Concert Pro from the play store and it should give you everything you need.
Cheers

It sounds like something in your setup is causing it to bypass the volume settings and just play at max volume. I use my phone all the time for bluetooth audio on 2 blackberry bluetooth gateways (home stereo and office stereo) and a sony bluetooth audio car stereo and I am able to control the volume just fine from both the phone and the stereos.

I think I figured it out. I installed "music volume EQ" from Play and I adjusted all bands to -15 db. This surprisingly made all volumes much more acceptable. I noticed media volume over 8 used to sound the same, like it was maxed out, but it seems much more granular now, and lower volumes are more "normal".
I suggest this fix for anyone who is unhappy with any volumes.

I know this topic is way old, but I know what the problem is. I unlocked and flashed cm10.1, and while the bluetooth takes a few seconds to lock on, it now is at a reasonable volume, the BT volume slider changes volume, and it never jumps to 100% after connection. The Motorola BT drivers must be wonky. Anyway, that's it! Moto screwed up.

Headphone volume too loud on lowest setting

The lowest volume setting when using headphones is just slightly too loud for me. I am using Vsonic VSD5S headphones which have an impedance of 45 Ohm. Is there anyway to lower the minimum volume? If possible, I would like to avoid rooting or installing any apps.
Unfortunately, there's not a way without root or installing apps, maybe the next OTA will solve the issue.
You have to root the device to do anything about it.
Have you tried going into the settings of the supplied music player to see if you could alter the audio settings.
Most music apps have preamp of replay gain settings to help this some what, but so far I found all of them suffer from terrible snr at low volume (aside from stock music player). I get around this with an external amp like the fiio e5 which had it's own volume control.
With power amp alpha you can also change the volume steps to 100, that may allow you to go lower than the default volume step can
