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.
GT
I am not sure if i'm putting this in the right category but i figured since this is where the kernel development goes on it would be the best place.
I don't know about anyone else, but i use my phone as an all in one media device, and my main concern is the audio volume that comes out of the auxillary jack. I have tried 3 different ROMs and a few kernels including stock, and when my Inspire's media volume is maxed out playing through my car stereo it doesn't even come close to the volume output of my nexus s and captivate, much less my iPhone. The closest i have been able to get in better audio quality/volume comes from CM7, i am guessing because it is sourced off of AOSP. Even that is at least a notch or two under my cappy, and it makes a big difference.
I was wondering if there is anyway to make a kernel/ROM adjustment to boost the AUX volume output, NOT the phone external speaker.
Gladly willing to donate to a project for this.

I know in CM7 that you can use DSP Manager to boost volume for just headset. Just increase the EQ evenly across the full range.

There has to be a better way to make this thing loud. I was irritated with how quiet my Rhodium was and this device is even worse. In Rhodium Land I procured a .cab that made my Rhodium obnoxiously loud at full volume. I want some of that.

To touch on the DSP resolution, it did not work. It boosted the power output yes, but distorted the clarity to an unusable extent.
Unfortunately a mod moved this thread because even though it is a development discussion, it seems they aren't enthusiastic enough to support this mod.
I'm offering at least 15$ for this fix..
Low Volume Output
I have just gotten a HTC Inspire 4G, and it's not hard to see that the volume output is doubtfully low compared to most other devices such as an iPhone. I have tried all the suggestions in this thread but none seem to work for a high volume output into a stereo,headphones,are any other jack devies. The EQ seemed to be a good idea I prefer to use my equalizer to sustain a better music experience. So overall I think there should be a mod or a tweak to increase volume output level.
Sent from HTC Inspire 4G
A volume increase, or fix is definitely needed. This phone is too quiet.
There's a fix!
Root your phone and flash Revolution ROM v3.5. I just got back from cranking out Pandora on my car radio and the sound is great!
Check my sense Rom thread there is 2 beta kernels I just compiled with speed tweaks and volume boosts across both speakers and headphones(should in turn boost aux output levels as well). It's LOUD, to the point I can no longer listen to music at full volume. I still need to make some fine tuning adjustments, but I think I'm gonna try dsp manager to help even further. Some libs have to be replaced for dsp manager to work with sense roms, but with the sound boost alone, quality still seems to be pretty good with no distortion(that I heard anyway), and with this and dsp manager, it should be a pretty good fix.
I need feedback so I know what has to be fixed(or not fixed...too loud?, distortion?, etc)
Note these are froyo inspire kernels
It has to be whatever ROM you all are using... I took the exact same songs on CD -vs- my phone, and volume is the same, clean across the board.
No issues here at all.
Then again, I am VERY sensitive about my music and won't touch it unless it has a high bit rate. I also run volume leveling software on all of my music too. That way one song isn't terribly louder than the previous.
I'd really like this, my truck stereo isn't loud enough with the inspire at max volume. I don't want to change ROMs to fix this because every ROM other than what I'm running had some problem I couldn't stomach. However, while I briefly had CM7, it did boost the volume significantly.
Its already done as I posted. Flash the kernel from my (sense rom)thread(you'll have to search for it, but its there. Its stable, fast, and the volume is LOUD.(froyo kernel)

Hmm maybe it's just me but I think I discovered the oddest bug ever. For some reason, the first sound I hear after like 30 seconds of idle is quieter than what I'm set to in the volume settings and then if I keep using the device without idle all the sounds are loud like normal after that first sound.
For example, I have the device locked with screen off for a while, I unlock the device and the unlock sound is really quiet, then I immediately lock it and unlock it again and now the sound is loud like normal. I keep doing that and it sounds fine each time after that, but as soon as I lock it and leave it idle for like 30 seconds or more and unlock it again, the unlock sound is quiet again.
Also this doesn't only affect the unlock sound, it affects everything, notifications, alarm, ringer, etc....and all my volume is set to maximum I even checked with a 3rd party app. The same thing happened on the previous 2.07 and 2.10 leaks, it's almost like Gingerbread introduced this weird "automatically lower master volume after idle mode". I can't seem to find any option that would affect it.

So basically the first sound you hear after a short or long idle time will always be quieter than your actual setting and then keep using the device and everything sounds normal. I almost overslept and missed calls several times cause my alarm and ringtones are so quiet now.
Anyone have any ideas what could be done or taken a look at here?
EDIT: FYI, someone else claimed they had it since MR1 update but I had no issues on Froyo whatsoever. This only became introduced to me with the first 2.07 leak.
I've noticed this as well. I didn't find it to be a big deal, but thought I'd share.

all i know is even with volume+ the volume sucks on this phone. my wife's lg vortex is 5x louder. we need a dev to look into this.
I honestly thought I was alone on this one. I miss texts and calls all the time because the volume is so quiet after idle.
It is easy to see this with gingeritis all you have to do is turn the volume up to max for your ringer, and then turn the screen off and let it sit for a minute or two. Then turn the screen back on and push the volume up key, you will notice the first sound it makes is really soft, and if you push it again, it makes the normal loud sound.
I hope someone sheds light on this...I for one would like to stop missing calls
I am about to try the official RUU and see if it still does it, but it's only done it since I started using gingerbread roms.

aosp roms are louder but not loud enough. we for sure need a volume boost. i cannot imagine it would be that hard to do.
I was just getting ready to start a thread about a possible volume booster.. I can't remember if it was the tb or fascinate i had it on but, adrynalyne had a program called drm i think in his roms that enhanced the volume.. the problem I'm having is the media volume.. I'm trying to listen to MLB at bat here at work but can barely hear the broadcast.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Hmm volume booster does seem to be a good workaround idea but I think the main issue is the fact that the volume level automatically changes regardless of the volume loudness. If only someone might be able to figure out what this can be caused by.....
Also I noticed something interesting today. On some sounds it actually seems like it starts off quiet and then makes it louder while the sound is playing. It's hard to tell cause it's so fast but it's definitely noticeable in some cases.
On cm7 there is an option to play notifications and ringtone through the speaker (even though I thought they did anyway) but I haven't noticed the problem with that selected.

someone should look into the lg vortex volume and try to port the mod over. my wifes phone is 10x louder than my tbolt. hers is aosp too.
FYI, I have only tested this on the official leaks. No custom ROMs or AOSP yet. Though I'm quite tempted to find out if this occurs on other ROMs as well (especially AOSP).

It takes a split second for the audio amplifier to fire up. The kernel is probably not accounting for this. The audio amplifier suspends after usage just like the screen does to prevent battery drain.

Hmm that's an interesting theory but just FYI, the screen times out later than the volume begins to idle to quiet (if it matters). You think flashing another kernel might fix the issue?

Sorry. I didn't mean they time out at the same time. Just meant that it also suspends to save battery. I have a feeling this won't be solved until the gingerbread sense kernel source is released. A really good kernel dev might be able to look into this with their current source. You might also notice a pop or crackle sound due to this same issue. Again it is coming from the amplifier powering up WHILE the audio is playing instead of BEFORE. There could be an underlying latency in the hardware but I doubt that's true since it wasn't really noticeable on Froyo. Android has always had a problem with audio latency although it has been pretty much "worked around".

Hmm I see. FYI, I also noticed this issue is extremely obvious when opening the phone dialer for the first time and just press like the number 1. You can hear for a split second as if it "boots up" the audio amplifier the dialing sound for the button grows from silent to normal volume. Then as you dial the rest it sounds fine. But cancel out of the phone dialer and back into literally after like as short as 5 seconds press a number on the dialpad again, you hear it making dialing sound quiet to louder and then normal for the rest of the dialing.
Such a bizarre issue, I really don't understand why this problem just occurred in Gingerbread builds if it's been absolutely fine on older Froyo builds. You would think something as obvious as this would be one of the first bugs they try to resolve. And it seems like it wouldn't be that hard also (assuming it's just a setting in the kernel coding or something).
FYI, if it helps anyone willing to look into it I found out the audio amplifier for the Thunderbolt is a TI TPA2051.
I am really hoping some of our higher up guys can take a look at this. I am really curious to know what (if anything) can fix this issue.
i do know the overall volume on sense roms are much quieter than aosp. what a waste of a good speaker. we for sure need a fix here.
It might not be as easy as it sounds. Audio can be handled quite differently from OEM to OEM. I'm not sure if the thunderbolt is using the native Android audio or if HTC is using their own implementation. You also have to throw the audio Codec into the mix. Here is a link that although it doesn't explain our specific problem, you can see the complexity and the inherent issues with Android audio http://groups.google.com/group/android-ndk/browse_thread/thread/1744088af0924ed9/7170773c13aabe2f i'm not sure about now but the general consensus with audio developers used to be that google needed to stop trying to implement fancy bells and whistles in the audio and get a good solid foundation to start with. Gingerbread was supposed to address some of these issues but I don't believe it did.
Anyway, i'm not positive but you may notice the problem more in gingerbread because there were quite a few changes in the native audio implementation.

Gingerbread Kernel Source for Thunderbolt just released: Link
I know this thread is old, but something i've noticed in regards to this. Im running a semi-stock ROM (xda-bolt), with a stock kernel. I noticed the volume changes don't happen on this ROM, however with a modified kernel such as IMOs 6, the problem arises. Any other non-stock kernel i've used has this problem, but stock kernels do not.
Is there anyway to increase the volume on this phone, Sometimes i cant even hear the phone ring,just wondering if anyone knew of a way to turn up the volume
If you have CM7 or MIUI try this app works quite well not sure about other roms though
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.FREE.android.lvh&feature=search_result
I can vouch that volume+ works. It will make your phone easier to hear. However I'm not really sure if it makes it "louder". It seems to me on the paid version that the volume isn't really increasing. It's more like an EQ manipulation that makes it less muddy at high volumes, adding clarity. This isn't to say its a bad product, and I wouldn't use my phone without it. Absolutely worth the try
Dsp manager also
