Speaker Volume????

Has anyone or is there anything we can do to help boost this poor speaker volume on the inspire...is there some kind of speaker booster that works...thanks in advanced...

I would like to know as well. I can barely hear my phone ringing.

I fixed mine by exchanging for an Atrix. The sound quality and levels are very, very good.

Lol ok me too but rather not get the Atrix just for sound. I Like this phone too much and everything is working great but the sound level. Would like to keep it virgin for awhile and not root or flash yet. but of course thats not too far away.

ha ha I see what you mean. I really loved the Inspire, but the few things that bothered me about it in everyday use seem to be rectified by the Atrix. Besides, I won an Inspire at work so I'll have both

This doesn't really help. Considering I prefer the Inspire to the Atrix. I'm not a huge fan of Motorola.
I am pretty sure it is a software issue though. Games are fairly loud when I play them, and it just seem seems like alerts and ringtones are lacking.

You could always make copies of the ringtones, run them thru a MP3 editing software to boost the Db level of the source file, then put them back to the phone.

Someone should he able to incorporate DSP manager bow that kernels can be cooked. That will make a difference for sure.

So I'll need root, and just have to wait until they update the dsp app on market?

Volume+ works great, probably the only app that allows for you to boost the volume so high that you might be able to break your speakers lol. It even has an equalizer if you want to put in custom levels

Dunno, I tried Volume+ on MIUI and it doesn't seem to do a thing. Equalizer does have an effect, though I haven't tried it on a2dp, which is where I really need the boost.

Volume + does not work for me on stock Rom Gingerbread.

With daryken bumping this thread I just ran across it. I have been using this app for longer than this post has been up and must say I cannot do without it now.
The widget is what makes it. It really ties together my media home screen.
Just a heads up for those with CM7. It does not play well with DSP manager. I found I had to choose between the two. The choice was not hard.

I never had any good results with DSP manager when I was on CM7. This really does work, but it doesn't seem to play well with MIUI which I am currently on. Instead I tweak the volume settings of idividual songs in iTunes and then move them over to the phone wich also works. But it is a bit of a long work around....

Try flashing a kernel with Voodoo sound. It increases volume using the phone's hardware, so there is no distortion whatsoever.

Yeah, anything but froyo (who cares about froyo anymore?) Or the ICS roms which actually already have legacy audio, pretty similar to beats.

Installs with no issues on Hellfire pheonix.
Noticed a big difference in the signal quality almost eliminated static.
I'm using Bose in ear buds, and I always preffered my old ****ty iPod touch for sound quality.... no more.
Feels like it upped the juice to my headphones now I'm getting big dirty sound and I can't even rock full volume ... WINNING!!
Great tweak defiantly worth the 2 mins it takes to flash!
Pin it to Win it.

Yeah! I was using my old iPhone for music until I used it as a golf ball, then I was using my 80 GB iPod classic (which I actually love) but now it's an external drive for me.
I also use Bose in ear buds, IE2 to be exact, I love them but they were quiet... until now of course.
The tweak also plays nice with voodoo sound from Trinity and DSP manager, so #WINNING

Are you using voodoo and DSP manager as well? The sound from the mixture of the three is godly.

I have no idea how to use DSPManager.. ( Idk what to enable)
How do I use voodoo? :|
Does this work for all music player?
Stock music app
Google music app
MIUI music app
etc..

If you're using Trinity kernel then voodoo is already working it's magic.
DSP manager, with compression it seems you can get louder, I don't use it though as it seems to also create some fuzziness. Bass boost does exactly what it says, and Equalizer will equal out the sound to your choice, try a few equalizers, also if you find the sound to get too loud you can check loudness compensation which will lower the volume a bit at loud parts in songs. Virtual Room makes your headset feel like a room.

You mean the beats audio hack? Yeah it actually works for every sound throughout your ROM.

So I don't need to dl any Voodoo Sound from market right?
I find Bass Boost Moderate and Treble Boost the best.. from DSP

No you don't need the voodoo sound app, and yes I also very much like that setting.
But I like bass boost moderate and Acoustic EQ the best.

Virtual Sound doesn't have that much of a diff.
My ear are like Eargasmic. :O

Equalizer app w/ Beats included

Perusing in the general android section and read the last few pages of this link. Member confirmed working on stock/rooted S3. Made a nandroid and ave it a shot. Have tested with bluetooth headphones and changes are noticeable. I really like the bass boost.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728391

Edit: got it installed with no problems on synergy r52. Just need to test it on something besides the phones speaker to see if it actually is using the equalizer or not. I don't have headphones with me.
The music does seem louder than it was before tho...

You are correct. Which is why I backed up prior to install. After installation, you can go into System-Sounds and there will be a new menu option, Music Effects. Select Awesome Beats (fyi I got a MusicFX force close for some reason).
You will now have an app named Awesome Beats. You can open that and make your adjustments for wired and wireless headphones.
I use bluetooth wireless, so I made my adjustments while listening to music.
This may be no better than an app that is on Play. I was in a modding mode, so I did it.
FYI - you will also not see the red Beats logo on the taskbar.

Installed fine, with no force closes so far. But it didn't do anything to the music.

Installed on Synergy r53 working great.

You can actually hear a difference in the music though? I couldn't hear any changes when switching between presets. Even on the headset that came with the phone.

I hear some small changes like you said the music seems louder and I think the bass boost is working. Not entirely sure but did get the force close for MusicFX.

Just flashed it, works but only for for native music player.......

Curious what ROM you're running and what DSP settings you're using?
Bass sounds pretty distorted to me.

Same here. I would be very happy if some kernel will resolve this problem. Otherwise, phone is super. Just speaker when talking ... and maybe not so good buttons. :good:

Definetly a NO to this on.
Using a active speaker at work which resets its volume to a base volume everytime you enable it.
The speaker is on par with a Galaxy Note 1 which I have just retired.
I´d even say its louder....but possibly that is because of faux kernel....try this...

You can install this kernel...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=250965
Then install FauxSound from the PlayStore, you can up the speaker gain a decent amount. It's nothing drastic, but I've got it loud enough for me now.

+1. Came here to say this. FauxSound works excellent. If you don't want to / can't afford to pay for the app, trickster mod works fine.
But if you can, support your local dev!

So you're saying using the stable faux kernel and the latest version of Fauxsound, sound modifications are working for you on the nexus 5?

Fauxsound needs an update. Faux123 should have it out shortly. It works fine except for the fact that settings are reverted to stock upon reboot. Little annoying but faux is great at keeping his kernels and a ops up to date and fully functional.
