The volume on the HD7 seems low anybody else have this issue?
i dont dont have a hd7 but if you have any wp7 games downloaded it might be worth going back into the game, and checking the volume on the game first, it seems that game volume can also affect the system volume as a whole. increasing it could help if that is the problem. just a guess.
Nope, no problems here, but I use a stereo bluetooth headset with mine. The only bugbear is that the sound for videos always comes out the main speaker, which is a pain when playing games with video sections, like Need for Speed Undercover.
Have you already downloaded the sound enhancer form the htc hub. It makes a huge difference.

I have but not much louder.
Are you talking about speakerphone?
If so then yes. The volume is lower on that than everything else, otherwise, the phone is loud.
I just got a replacement hd7 phone yesterday and this ones speakerphone is way louder then the launch day phone I had. Even vibration is stronger. I dont know if it just me, but the screen colors look brighter and not as washed out as previous phone. I wish I could compare with other phone but screen broke on that one.
Is that a hardware issue? HTC mozart is ****ing loud. Max volume without my ears searing is 22...
You guys are lucky still, volume on the lg optimus 7 is horrible. It is half to 3 quarters of my volume on my N80 or Omnia 1. Vibration is beyond horrible I tried another unit to be sure it wasnt mine seems to be it the handset.
LG Optimus great phone but 3 bad things that annoy me.
Speaker volume overall - poor
Vibration - extra extra crap
The Buttons for Back/Search - make too much of a clicking sound.
If anyone has a htc surround 7 - how is the speaker/vibration for that I am thinking of switching to that. I love the windows 7 os
I too find the volume on my HD7 too low. Although there are some songs that play with loud volume. I'm wondering does zune convert some of the files when we transfer them?
Yeah I too can barely hear the speaker and my headphones are super low too. I tried to watch some netflix on the light rail yesterday and I couldn't hear a thing. Is there anything else beside the HTC app to increase the sound?
My TouchPro2 was hecka loud compared to this. Speaker and Headphones.
I just got mine yesterday (10-03-11) did the mango update and the volume is CRAP.. there is no way these alarm sounds or even trying to use it as a gps in the car even makes sense... the volume SUCKS..
I really think it is app based. for some reason, my Slacker Radio got a little louder since my Mango update... its been a little bit louder i think. Or that might just be me. Let me know XDA people!

Hey guys,
Im looking for a volume booster since i listen to music on my phone everyday, i tried Audio Hack
but seems not to work on my Evo (its unrevoked rooted, if that helps) let me know if anyone can help me out. I need volume like the iphone!! Love my Evo tho.
JBlaze -- Evo 4G
Just wanted to bump this. The past several days have afforded me the chance to stream music on my evo from xm at work, and could for sure use just a little more volume to hear it over the noise of my workplace.

Volume for music seems pretty loud for me if the phone is close to you. Isn't anyone worried about damaging the speaker? My previous phone after a year the sound quality for music sucked and I didn't even use it that much..Had to get a replacement and really noticed a difference. I'm afraid I'm going to damage the speaker over time just having the volume up all the way without an audio boost hack.
I actually would love to boost the headphone volume.
It's fine most of the time, but when I'm on the train it can be difficult to hear even when I have the headphone volume at full.
agreed, the volume out of the headset seems pretty low especially when in a loud area

Seems to me this is probably more of an issue with the particular headset you are using. The EVO gets pretty loud on my headset.
There's an ear piece volume boost in nentarchy's kernel. I'm actually going to flash to latest one he just released cause once you go too high, things get distorted. He lowered it a bit supposedly in the new release.

i can say that the iphone headphones are lower in volume compared to my sony headphones by far. not touching the volume and just switch headsets i have to lower the volume on the sony's..... the sony headset are true stereo headphones and not for phones as they do not have a mic.
is there any way to make the rings louder? i remember there was a hack to make the touch pro louder and i wish there was something to make the evo louder everything is perfect except that i rarely hear my phone as its always in my pocket ive even make the quality higher on ,my ringtones and its still the same...

we would be nice if someone would reply to this thread with an idea or a fix for this as i would be interested because my speaker volume is too low i had in idea of hex editing any comments on this idea would be nice
Well i use always semi professional headphones, since, to me, common ones suck to no end (professionals are way to expensive through). If I put the sound on the maximun or one level down, sounds good on normal musics (CD base decibels). Non normalized files (lower volume) become pratically inaudible. This happens also with the speaker.
I dont want to continuously have a 12 inch speakr on my EVO, i just want to listen in a heatly safe - good volume without put on max and up when file have a lower volume. XD
Seems fine to me with the included headphones... Not sure if using PowerAmp while listening to my albums is making a difference but volume seems about right foe r me...
how about without Headphones the volume is still not loud without them...no problem with headphones on
Guy, the problem has to do with more than the Evo. If your impedance level is high with the headphones you are using then the Evo cant drive them. Ultimately any 'hack' is just going to cause distortion at high levels. You need to get some sort of amp. I suggest CMOY.

things i can recommend. IF you are rooted.
1.BEFORE TRYING THE FOLLOWING DO A LOT OF READING. IT HELPS.
2. try an alternate kernel..... either netarchy toastod or ziggy. they have audio
tweaks built into them.
3. dsp manager. allows you to tweak audio further.

Hi,
Does anyone know a way to tweak a system file so that Inspire's volume is higher?
I personally find its stock volume rather low, and I want to increase it.
I downloaded Zedge. It is a free app with nice louder ringtones.
Hope this helps!
I'm wanting to up the volume system-wide. But, thanks for the info anyway
Yea, I tested a movie and sling player last night. The media volume was all the way up and it was quite.
I went from iPhone 4 (nice and louad) to Atrix 4g (nice and loud) to Inspire 4g (too quiet).
I am loving the Inspire but the sound volume and battery life are definitely the 2 big downsides of it. Still a winner over the Atrix any day though.
I personally don't have issues with the battery. I've removed all extra stuff. Even before removing them, I was happy with its battery.
It can't be that hard to change the system volume. It's done in every smartphone and OS before. Hopefully, some developer notices this thread and help us out.

I'm half deaf. Need a louder phone please.
same here, the phone volume is too low. Maybe if can acces service codes? I did it on my previous Samsung phone.
Hi, all.
So, I've been doing some digging around, and looks like there are 2 possibilities.
One is to modify the system files manually (which would be very complicated), but I personally prefer this method rather than having to install extra stuff. However, this method is not available to us unless some very smart person shares the method with us.
Two, which seems to be the only viable option at the moment, is DSP Manager. As far as I understand, it used to be available through ROM Manager, but it is no longer there. I saw a thread that said the author was not releasing it anymore because most MOD developers were now including it in their ROMs from the beginning.
So, if we can find a way to install DSP Manager, we may be able to tweak the max speaker volume. But, that's as far as I could find. I'd need someone smarter to look into this.
Hi,
An update and a new idea.
First, DSP Manager doesn't work on Inspire 4G, so don't bother.
Second,
Here's a new idea I have about the low volume sound fix. I just read a comment from HTC employee who said, "The front speaker is for phone calls and the rear speaker is for everything else."
In other words, if we can find a way to keep the front speaker enabled all the time, we should be able to get more sound. I don't know much about what kind of coding is involved in routing sounds from each speaker, but I wonder if this would be an easier hack than trying to increase the entire system volume, which may still feel low volume for as long as we can't get any sound out of the front speaker.
Maybe someone smart can add to this possibility?
#1! I like to use voice recordings as scheduled reminders, and the playback volume out of the rear speaker is way too low.
I did notice the low volume on a movie i downloaded but you never can tell with those sorts of things. Overall the sounds is incredible even through the speakers with (SRS) and dolby mobile.
Could use something to ++output level.
Id like to see an app to change audio volume levels while recording video.
(ive only had the phone a couple days i returned my samsung Cap upgrade for the 4g, forgive me if there is such an app out there)
How often do you go to watch an awesome looking concert video and the sound is trash? It would make for some beautiful recordings i think. I have yet to test this one, but the Captivate could not record decent sound at all in loud environment.
I personally have come to believe that it is really not that the "volume" is low but rather a "wrong" speaker is being used. I mean, if the main speaker is on the back facing away from us, of course we don't hear much sound. If you flip the phone while playing music or video, you'll notice that the sound is actually loud enough. So, if we can enable the front speaker for normal use, I really think that it'll be just fine.
about every HTC phone has a quiet speaker. but cyanogen typically always includes the audio boost add-on. so i'd just wait for cyanogen 7 to include it, and your troubles will be solved.
well, even if the volume is boosted, as long as the sound is coming out of the rear speaker, if you place your phone on its back on a table or something, the sound will still suffer. It makes more sense to find a way to enable the front speaker.
Most of all phone have a rear facing speaker. But some phone are loud and some are not..

No, they don't lol. (you may be right if you are talking about specific brand or series, but certainly not "most of all phones").
I just came across something that may be relevant to the audio routing, but I'm not smart enough to figure them out. If anybody wants to take a look at it, it would be great:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/AudioManager.html
There are several lines there that talk about Routing.

This may sound ridiculous but works!
Hi, all.
I just came up with a very simple workaround for "only when you are watching a video or something."
Now, you're gonna probably laugh, but trust me. It really works.
Just play any video, and hold your phone as if you are scooping water. The key is the left hand. When you cup your left hand around the rear speaker, it creates a echoing chamber that redirect all sound toward you. You'll be able to hear the sound much better.

has anyone found a successful way to boost volume ? seems a bit quiet on headphones as well as speakers.
i know my dad bought a cheap mp3 player and there was a software limit to headphones due to EU regulations !? is anyone in the US finding the volume low ?
Ive been using Equalizer app and its pretty good. But since 3.1 I'm getting alot of fc. Also if I am running playerpro I can't enable Equalizer. I need tofc playerpro first and then launch Equalizer in order for it to work. Even with Equalizer the speakers sucks. Hopefully there's a fix soon with the right and left speakers
My volume goes to 11 on my US Transformer. If you turn it all the way up the speakers are distorting so bad I thought they we going to pop. Definitely overdriving them.

lol..... movie buff maybe ?
seriously though my dads mp3 player was limited to a specific volume on UK settings. he changed to US and the volume significantly increased.....
We get all sorts of strange 'directives' from the EU..... including rules on banana curves !
www.itpro.co.uk/615685/rnid-welcomes-eu-mp3-volume-standards
US transformer and the volume was too low with my crappy over the ear headphones, but was louder with a borrowed pair of the standard iphone headphones (in-ear) ... still could have used more volume though. This was while on an airplane so it was a noisy environment.
I am using "audio+ (volume boost)" works wonders
Do any of these apps allow you to change the balance on left/right speaker? I'm looking for something that will let me play a video file with only the left speaker or only the right speaker. Anyone know of anything?
Does anyone have some information about the earpiece quality?
On the Nexus 4 the quality was very low as on lower volumes interferences from the wireless signal could be heard. Also i don't like phone on which the lowest volume is still much too loud.
Any experience would be very appreciated.
No we dont have any information. The phone isn't even in peoples hands with the exception of media sites.
Just wait until you receive the device and conclude for yourself (or wait for others for a full-review)
Mine's in my hand. The earpiece quality is excellent, it's very loud and clear, the best I've ever encountered!

Got my phone right here.. Already have it for like 6 hours (has been shipped today)... Did not test the headphone output yet...
Sound quality is excellent through earphones..Plenty loud..Im pretty impressed with the speakers to..More bass and clarity than the N4.. Turn the volume up on Dead Trigger 2 or listen to some dance music and you will see what i mean.
Ok, thank you very much for your answers :good:
I'm only interested in the earpiece volume. It's nice if the speaker is loud enough but i don't want the earpiece on low volumes too loud. Even more i like it if it's very quiet for on the lowest levels as i'm not all the time in a noisy environment.
If the earphone output is also quite low on the lowest level i'd appreciate that a lot. I had troubles with every Android phone so far, except the HTC One X+, beeing too loud. (And don't start a flamewar. Some people can't get it loud enough and some like phones who are able to adapt to the ambient).
Hi,
Can you tell me if you can control the volume with a wired headset ? (much like the iPhone... and unlike my Nexus 4)
Thanks !
Mine has stopped working...still makes a sound when maximising the volume but I cant hear anything in a call.
Is the Nexus 5 compatible with HD Voice on T-Mobile USA?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
not as bad as N4
When on a call on the call volume is low you can hear a faint distorted signal. It kind of sounds like the phone is working on other tasks in the background more than a distorted signal to me. It's faint but kind of annoying when you realize it. The N4 was worse though.
Has anyone else noticed this is or is it just me?
Today I've bought Sony MDR WF-XB700's and sound quality is great but I feel like the maximum volume is too low for me, I listen to music loudly and these I think are normal for most of the people but I feel like bass could punch a lot harder but I just can't turn up the volume that high. I've tried the disable absolute volume for bluetooth and tried increasing the gain from viper4android (rooted) but it just clips the sound, I'm looking for anything even rooted solutions, thanks. Phone is LG G7.
Really is this problem that bad that no one knows how to solve? I'll end up returning them in the last it seems like.
