Hi mates
I have recently flashed my xperia x10i with cm mod by wolfbreak.but after that I observed that media or ringtone playback from speakers has become low even when the volume Is set to high.
Please help.

Could be a kernel problem or there are reports of some problems with DT apps2ext and low volume.
Is there any other tweak or patch to resolve this..Please suggest!

There's an option in call settings for "Hearing aids" that says it'll bump up in-call volume. Haven't used it yet, so I don't know how well it works.
Granted I'm guessing it's -only- for phone calls, so for music/video playback I don't have an answer for you unfortunately.
Do you mean the speaker is as low as other HTC?
I thought it will be better than DHD and N1...
volume sucks
Low volume is one of the issues that bugs me with Sensation. The ring volume is low even at max and volume trough headphones is way too low.
This needs to be addressed by HTC ASAP in their new ROM.
The Stock music app has a feature called "SRS enhancement" It helps with the sound quality tremendously! It can be used either while listening to music or with the stock video player.
I've had good results from an app called Equalizer.
I changed the hearing aids setting and it has helped a lot for calls.

The "hearing aid" option does help out with the volume not just for calls but all other audio output as well. I guess I must be hard of hearing (by HTC's standards) because I really don't understand why the phone had such a low volume setting to begin with.
Well let's hope the Volume+ developer get it to work with the Sensation. I Just send him an email....
Hearing Aid is annoying because it doesn't help with speakerphone AND you can't lower the volume!
I installed volume+ today and it makes huge difference in sound quality
I think it is now supportable to HTC sensation
Thanks to its developer

Folks,
On my HTC Sensation, the in-call volume is so low that I can hardly hear the caller. I always have to switch to the speaker.
My in-call volume is set to max.
I think this happened after htc-sync upgraded the OS version to 2.3.4. My wife has exactly the same model but she does not have this problem. Her phone has not yet been upgraded.
I called HTC. They tell me that it is a known issue and to check back with them periodically. A lame answer:-(.
I would appreciate it if anyone has any idea on how to get my in-call volume back.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
Peter
i'm experiencing the same low in-call volume, so i rooted my device and installed the leaked HTC Sense 3.5 ROM and it's better, but not where i want it to be. i also flashed the TMOBUS (T Mobile US) rooted stock ROM and it has a HAC (Hearing Aid Compatible) feature that significantly boosts in-call volume, but you cannot adjust the volume. it's been my experience that volume boosts can be added to the kernel. i wish i knew how to do that... also, don't know if the source code has been released .... wish i could offer more help!

that's not going to work... you have to tweak the kernel (or some other object) to boost in-call volume. (i would love to be wrong, but i tried that app already)
+1 on vol plus you can also trie mikes revolution 4.1 which is the 3.5 sense leak. volume was a major improvement. developement has just started on this leak but i ran it with no major problems

The APP does not affect the earpiece or call volume. Its only for the speaker and music.
Volume + has boosted ALL volume settings on my phone including speaker. My experience has been
that the app needs to be manually activated as it seems to not start up at boot or run in background.

Root your phone and use volume + or dsp manager. Works like a charm. My volume is LOUD

i agree that the program works with in-call volume settings, or the same setting that you can adjust while on a call. the program does not amplify - or boost - the in-call volume like one can by manipulating the kernel (or other objects) so that it's louder. this type of manipulation is like adding an power-amplifier to a home-theater AV receiver. the net effect: on my Inc S with a stock kernel, my in-call volume setting would be level 4 (of 5). using a kernel with audio boost, my in-call volume setting is 2 and at most 3.

I bought the paid version of volume + over the weekend and actually got it to boost/amplify my call volume tremendously.
My only problem now is my new Anker battery is being drained at abnormal rates as a result from using this app. A 20 minute call costs 20=30% of battery life vs. before the app was installed.
Obviously the CPU is getting a work out just running the app. I would think the increased voltage to the speaker would constitute as some kind of amplification like a home theatre system.
Has anyone else experience abnormal battery life as a result from usning this app?
I would like to ask that, is there hack or app to increase the sound of the ringtone on the nexus s.?
I can't hear the phone ringing when am in a noisy area!!
And too the vibration is also weak.!

The volume is a bit tricky to get used to indeed. Found an old thread here on xda, check out post number 5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13813124#post13813124
I don't believe you can modify the intensity of vibrations without some hardware tweaks. I could be wrong though.
please use search this question is asked almost daily. Adding a kernel with voodoo allows sound enhancement as well as the app volume+

I noticed that after installing the ICS update the max volume is quieter than it used to be (possibly ASUS hack for fixing imbalance?) I would like to know if there is a way to boost the volume of the built-in speakers with an app or editing a file, please.
Cheers!

volume+ from the market.
PowerAmp music player and enable Direct Volume Control and/or gain in the app's settings. Tried Volume+ but to me it's just an equalizer thing, which seems to boost volume but at the cost of audio quality.
I have seen many equalizer apps and they create "loudness" not volume (basically boost the mid range near the high end)
My main problem is in Netflix, not music apps. The speaker just is not loud enough to watch anything on it without headphones anymore.
Cheers!

Install equalizer from market and crank everything up to maximum.
I experienced the same low volume problem after upgrading(?) to ICS, and Volume+ crashes immediately upon invocation for me. Have you found an adequate solution to the issue?

Supercurio is working on his Voodoo Plus app to be compatible with ICS, but I guess you already heard of that one. Available until Asus releases the kernel source to add modded kernels.
no sound also after ics update
Same problem.went to market downloaded equalizer by smartandriod app clicked on custom slid bars all the way up but then the middle bar backed off a littlebit sounded to tinny enabled bass boost to around 80% sounds great and it's free.
i switched from Stock 2.3.x to Dhiru's CM9 alpha rom and i have a serious problem with the ringtone volume it's a lot lower than the stock rom for the same mp3 file of the ringtone.
i wonder if DSP Manager is something that i can use to increase the volume.
i don't see anyone discussing this issue on the thread, other than in alpha 6 there was a fix for audio distortion .
can you help me with that ?
Update to alpha 7
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA
ringtones sound lower only if headphones are attached, it's done that way because of some distortion issues and too loud ringtone on headphones, it's a tradeoff for now, it will be revised when beta comes
