Increase headphone volume - Captivate General

Mods please feel free to move / delete
is there a way to increase the headphone volume? I got to the audio service menu but I don't know which settings to change. I just got a new pair of Bose ae2 and they are extremely quiet. I tried another pair with the same issue. Maybe I'm deaf?
Thanks in advance!

I assume you mean beyond what's possible with the volume rocker, yes (I hope)?

Haha yes, that's correct.

PERFECT! Thanks a bunch!

I want to DECREASE the volume. When I listen to music and set it to the lowest setting, it's still too loud. Is there a way to do that?

I believe audioboost lets you do that as well

Is there a free version?

THANKS! This is just what I needed to break in my new noise cancelling headphones!

I can't seem to find audioboost in the market?
I'm running congnition 2.3b8, does this have something to do with this issue?

There is an app called audio boost that works great. Its a paid app but almost doubled my sound output on my captivate. Well worth it, don't remember how much but worth the price. Your phone must be rooted on froyo or stock rooted or unrooted on 2.1

I can't find Audio in the Market either. What other options do I have to increase captivate volume.
My volume was much higher with Phoenix Rising ROM but not with Andromeda.

Strange nobody's talking about the voodoo control app.....u do need a voodoo or speedmod kernel for it.......voodoo has the option of increasing or decreasing the headphone gain....works like a charm!

I have problems with the sound when set on tv out mode. its gets quietier. Anyone know how to increase volume on the tv out mode?

You could click the thread in my signature and use the galaxy tuner app to adjust it louder or quieter, problem solved. It is also in the market for download. This works for the headphones and the phone speaker. This works with any kernel also.

Don't know how crazy loud you like your music but I can't turn the volume up all the way on my atrix without hurting my ears and I also love to blast my music.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
It's not that loud. Comparing it with nexus s and galaxy s running voodoo sound ...after using ns atrix sounds feels low..don't have that punch I like. But at least is better than most phones.

What kind of headphones are you using cause if I put it all the way up it hurts
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
haha i like ym music blaring so loud everyone else can hear it haha.... and the atrix jsut does not do that... i know my iphone 4 the volume was very very loud, and throw in the normalization tweak in itunes, songs where blasting and throw in good headphones and now your talking..... idk it just does not seem loud enough... i remember back in my HTC touch pro and htc touch HD days, there were apps that changed the volume etc, and even the iphone 4 had mods to change the volume... so hell im sure out device can prolly have something in the same sort!
and PS. the mod that moved this thread, you moved it into the worng phone bro... this is the atrix im talking bout not the inspire.

Turn the Volume up / hack? S 4G

best method to turn the volume up?? i'm missing calls left and right! thanks.
I'm running stock ROM with netnarchy cfs kernel
Voodoo control. But you gotta run the netarchy kernal to use the free app. The paid one says you dont have to run a custom kernal that support voodoo, but i dont know if that works on the nexus 4g

That doesn't turn the volume up.
It only affects headphones.

You could try volume+ (sound boost) on the market. I haven't used it myself so can't confirm if it will work on the NS.

volume + is decent enough to not miss calls frequently. it could be better though. I'm majorly disappointed with the volume issuer
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
I thought it did. It has option that seems like it would. Since installing it it seems like its louder Anabolic haven't messed with the volume and its other set on halfway on my device.

I could definitely notice a difference with Volume +. I can actually watch a movie now and hear what they are saying. Thanks for the info.

I think they may have kept it down on the Nexus S 4G because I read countless complaints of people blowing their speaker out on the Epic. Some even opening the phone and replacing the speaker themselves.

Sgs4g as amplifier

is it possible to use your phone as an amp?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
You mean an amp to make things louder, or are you thinking of a DSP, which will add effects/distortion?
An amp to make things louder that could be connected via headphones or usb

if you get drhonks bali kernel that supports voodoo sound you will be able to amplify the sound beyond what any other phone OR ipod could ever do
so yes in a way it can but no it cant because an amp pushes out extreme amounts of power

You want to plug in a guitar/mic or something? I found a couple apps in the market for such a purpose but I play bass so never tested. How big is the speaker in this thing?

[Q] How do I boost the volume on Nexus S

I have CM10.1 and it seems to me that the volume on the headset is lower then usual. There is a warning if I go past the "safe" point but the safe point isn't very loud at all. Is this a bug? Is there a way around it? Kernel? Mod? Better ROM?
I downloaded Speaker Boost, but when increasing the gain it did the opposite!
Try a sound mod like acid, etc..

You need to install Voodoo Sound app from Playstore and increase Headphone amplifier to +0db and see the changes on your headphone..

There is a app boost volume....great stuff
You know what is weird, when I tried the "Voodoo Sound Mod" it wasn't until I selected Boost Bass that the sound jumped up at least 5db over the max. Anyone else noticed this?

Completely agree! I've got it installed on the NS and Kindle - definitely a blast!
Can you downmix to mono with Viper?

In call volume incredibly low

Hey all. Normally I use a Bluetooth headset for all my calls, but occasionally I don't have it on me. When I take a call using the phone's regular speaker I can barely hear the person on the other end. If I have any background noise, it's impossible to hear them. I've got my sound turned up to max. Anyone have some suggestions?

Since 4.4.2 both speakers on mine get incredibly loud. The N5's earpiece speaker is small (small circle rather than a long slit) so you do need to play with it some to get it set properly on your ear. Call someone and talk to them (indoors and quiet preferably) and adjust the phone on your ear till you hear it best. That's the position you'll need to use. I got used to it quickly and use about 40% volume even while in car at highway speeds and it is loud enough for me. Maybe clean your ears with a q-tip?:laugh:jk
See if that helps, if not maybe something is going on with your earpiece speaker?

Hard to troubleshoot when you're running custom software (rom +kernel +old radio). If to really want to get to the bottom of it (imo) you should go back to stock 4.4.2 with NO mods and see if it does it. Otherwise you're just shooting blanks (again imo). Anyone in the PA/faux/radio thread experiencing similar?

trickster mod
Install trickstermod kernel settings app and go to kernel settings, see if you can increase the gain for the speaker. If there isn't an option, you need to change kernel to one that allows sound tweaking (elementalx does) and then boost the gain through trickstermod app, or another free kernel settings app of your choosing. Changing the gain is a kernel setting that gives a very good boost to sound levels.
Figured it out. My screen protector had a cut out for the speaker, but I never popped it out. Took it off and I can actually see the speaker now!
