Is there a way to increase the external speaker volume? I would like to make it just a little louder for when I use it to listen to music without headphones.
I have CM7 with DSP and there isn't an option to increase overall volume. Also checked Voodoo and can't find a way to increase the external speaker volume with that either.
Anyone know of an app or mod that will allow me to do this?
I need a way to increase in earpiece speaker when listening to people talk on the phone if anyone knows

Use the voodoo control app.
Also make sure you have a kernel that supports voodoo.
The first option will be to use the headset amplifier.

I have Voodoo. There is an option to amplify headset volume, but nothing for the external speaker that I see. Am I missing something?
Usually you can hear the difference in the external speaker as well. It works for me when I use it as my media player.

hey guys. i like watching movies and shows on the Xoom. but i've found that unless i'm using headphones, the volume leaves much to be desired for the most part. this doesn't happen when watching youtube videos or listening to music. but anything played through rockplayer or moboplayer (i.e. avis, mp4s, etc) leaves me wanting more volume.
is there a way to increase the volume on the Xoom like there is for the Evo and other android devices through qpst or other apps?
thanks
Try Volume+. It's what I am using.
Just installed Volume+ but won't have a chance to play with it until later. What settings do you use?
You can also use Equalizer from Smart Android Apps. I use this for my general music listening and it automatically adjusts the EQ based on the type of music I am listening to. What you can also do is manually adjust the EQ settings and boost the volume quite a bit. You do have to be careful though as you can easily distort the sound if you boost it too much. The paid version gives you the ability to create and edit the EQ presets and added widget support. Otherwise the free version works great and is pretty feature packed.
I looked through the market for "Volume+" and could not find it. Can you provide a link?

Here it is:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.TEST.android.lvh&feature=search_result
My settings on this are:
Speaker Volume Level +4
Headset Volume Level +3
Bluetooth Volume Level +4
I'm sure I could go higher, but there's no need for me to. I've not changed the EQ settings, but it allows you to do that as well. I've used PowerAmp and love it, because of its EQ function. But with this Volume+ I've been using the stock music player and am quite happy. And this solved the low volume issue I was having with my Jawbone Jambox bluetooth speaker.

Awesome catch man! Installed it and I'm loving the increased volume!! That was one of the only problems I had with my Xoom.

Update (4/11/2017): Updated the app to use the Superpowered audio library. Performance is greatly improved. Lag is pretty much gone.
This was my first app and recently just overhauled it with a lot of the updates I had been doing to Wave Control. I've decided to take this out of incubation in the device specific forums and put it fully out there. All feedback is appreciated!
Around Sound allows you to listen to music, watch movies, or play games and still be aware of your surroundings. It's meant for when you're using sound isolating earbuds like Shure or others that are basically earplugs so you have no idea what's going on around you.
It uses the mic on your headset or phone to listen around you. You set how loud a noise needs to be to trigger it. When a loud sound is detected, it pauses your music or movie for a timeout period. During this time, it feeds the outside sound through to your headphones so you can hear what's going on. After the timeout period it then resumes playback.
With games, you can use the non-pause mode which will overlay the outside sounds on top of the current audio. Usually the game audio will lower itself during this time. I would really like for games to support the pause feature. I've reached out to some developers but need everyone's help to request the feature be added to their favorite games.
Play Store Link:
Free Version
Some known issues:
1. Audio lag - when the outside sound is fed through there's about a 500ms delay. It's a known issue with Android. It's rumored to have been fixed in Jelly Bean (or there's some low level API's available to fix it) but I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. Finally fixed! Practically realtime now!
2. Bluetooth Mic Option - Currently only works with mono headsets and not the AD2P kind, adds lag
Some use cases:
- At the office: pause your music automatically when someone is trying to get your attention
- At home: Don't miss door slams, children crying, your dog barking, or other warning signs
- At the airport: Relax at the gate and have your music or movie pause when the gate announcements start
- Anywhere relatively quiet where you want to know if something happens around you
Permissions Needed:
Network Communications: Full Internet Access (For Ad Supported Version)
Phone Calls: Read Phone status (shuts off the audio processing during calls)
Hardware Controls: Audio Settings, Record Audio (to use the microphone, no audio is ever stored)
Coarse Location(Not GPS): For Ad Supported Version
Write External Storage: For Ad Supported Version
Billing: For in app upgrades
Bluetooth: For Bluetooth mic feature
Broadcast Sticky: For Bluetooth mic feature
Limitations:
-For Pause Music Mode: You can't be in a really loud environment otherwise the microphone input will be maxed out and there is no way to detect a louder sound. Use Street Mode instead
Developed on a Samsung Galaxy S7
I played with this a bit in a few of its earlier incarnations and I have to compliment you on the app. One thing I've wondered -- instead of muting the underlying app, would it be possible to play what the microphone picks up over the top of whatever being played?

i guees that is not possible ...hardware limitations
anyway if it is...would be a great addition
I hope someone can explain this to me. I'm not doubting it's a hardware limitation, I just can't understand what sort of hardware limitation it might be.

Yeah, it's possible. If you uncheck pause mode, it'll play over the other app. The way it's setup now, depending on the playing app, the music/movie might dip in volume. Alternatively there's Street Mode in the Pro Version that will play all sound above the trigger on top of your music/movie.

Woo hoo! Cool, thanks! Pro, here I come.
Any idea when you think you might be able to look into that lower latency JB API?

This is so genius! Installing now!
I bought Pro this morning and used it on my walk. Worked like a charm!
It was pretty bright out and my screen couldn't brighten enough to let me see the trigger slider. A suggestion: how about adding +5 and -5 buttons so I can adjust the trigger level without having to see the slider? I don't mean remove the slider, I mean add +5 and -5 buttons.
Got the pro just to support the Dev. Great idea and great work. Keep it up man!

Sounds perfect....
i saw this while ago and was going to use it but deleted it by accident and than forgot about it this has reignited me to use it now ill download it later.
any news on the bluetooth issue as i have bluetooth headphones and there not mono and was wondering if it work well or not with em?
Wow...this is great. Thank you.
I like the sound of this (No pun intended) but I've only got bluetooth stereo headphones with a mic. so I'll have to wait until it supports them.
App2SD would be nice ...

I don't have a set to test it with but I've gotten mixed feedback. Some stereo ones do work and some don't. Or.. it may be a particular phone's bluetooth implementation since it seems more like a bug in Android than a headset specific issue.
Please give it a try and let me know if it works!
Will this save me if I end up in the middle of a shoot out, and I have in noise canceling headphones? As bizarre as that sounds... I'm paranoid lol

So after un-intentionally (really, I swear!) ignoring my girlfriend while playing a game, I realized... I could use Around Sound with games.
So far the non-pause mode works pretty well with the games I play. I'm reaching out to some other developers to include the ability to pause when asked by Around Sound.
I need people's help to request their favorite game dev's to support auto-pause with Around Sound
This feature is very need for on on the fly reduce dynamic audio range.
Оften in the movies, the dialogue is very quiet, but the special effects are very loud. And this feature will fix it issue.

You can use any advanced DSP manger like noozxoide or viper4android.
So, with viable external solutions available, would you still need this feature request?

We can you use third party tools. They interfere all the audio before it's send to the hardware.
But, most of the OEM DSP (eg: Sound alive, Music FX, etc.) can't be launched directly & will not process audio untill or unless it's called by the app.

Yes, i need it, but low priority of development.
one more request
That would be a very nice addition.
I have lots of media files with different volume levels, mostly short clips that play on repeat. No option to normalize a volume default across the files.
The original request is about a dynamic normalization in the same media for quieter sequences. No big need for me, but nice too.

Hello
I really like the premium way of Airdroid, but don't like the Limitations of bandwidth Connecting also have a Question.....
Is it possible to add an option to create Stream/Record sound from microphone (or other sources..)??
Regards
Hi, I'm a little confused...Do you mean adding a sound recorder feature in AirDroid?
I have tweaked adapt sound for the 3 Bluetooth headsets I use namely Beats Studio, Livall Bluetooth Helmet and Sabbat in ear buds. I'd like to be able to automatically shift to the corresponding adapt sound profile when the particular headset connects via Bluetooth. Is there a way to do this?
Poweramp will let you set as many equalizer profiles as you want. Great app, complex to set up, but nothing comes comes to it for a music player.

I'm not particularly interested in changing players. I just want an automated switch. For example when I connect my Beats headphones to the Note 20 Ultra through BT, I want the adapt sound profile to switch to the Beats tweaked one automatically.

Unless there's a plugin don't think you can support individual EQ settings per device other then turn it on or off with Poweramp.
I may be wrong, Poweramp is the Swiss army knife of players... lots of features.
Unfortunately I didn't find any way.
With Routines only equaliser and dolby atmos are available.
Maybe with a Bixby command, that you can trigger with Routine when a specific Bluetooth device is connected, but I didn't set it at all yet to see if it's possible.

I tried this route but couldn't find a way to specifically trigger the adapt sound profile change. I was thinking probably Tasker could do it but that's too complicated for my tired old brain. Ü

I know you're trying to be helpful but why the obsession with Poweramp? Like I said, I don't want to change players. I primarily use Spotify to listen to music.

If you have a large digital collection it's the one to use. Otherwise not.
You aren't supposed to use "adapt sound" for various headsets. It is not an equalizer.
Adapt sound is for your HEARING LOSS in various frequencies. You set it once and it applies to everything. You can use their "generic" age ranges or you can go through their hearing test to customize it specifically for you.
The point of it is to identify the ranges of hearing that you have lost over the years and amplify just that range for your hearing only. (Using any headphones or speakers)
The older you get, the more important this is.
This isn't designed to compensate for crappy headphones.
