G2x volume seems low

Did anyone else notice that when the volume is anything other than full blast the volume seems very low?

I notice it on gingerbread ROMs but stock seems fine to me.

Have you tried turning on DTS mobile in the music player? After I enabled it I noticed a boost in volume across all applications but in general I do feel the volume is rather low. It seems perfectly loud during speakerphone calls but not so loud during some other activities. I kind of feel like it varies from program to program, some seem loud while others don't. For instance Youtube videos seem to have a veeery low volume while Angry Birds is loud as hell.

I just turned on dts today while listening to music. See how that goes.

DTS only works for the stock apps. There is an app. in the market called volume+ (Sound Boost) for .99, I think, or you can get it for free from his website. It tells you the link to his site in the about app. part. It only works on GB roms though.
I'm using it and can finally hear the music when using Last.fm etc.
The EQ part doesn't work very well on the GB leak though.

I was about to post a question relating to this. Im just coming from ATT Captivate, and always used AUX jack plugged into stereo in my truck. With my Cappy, I used PowerAmp music player paired with either Voodoo, or AudioBoost if the ROM for the day didnt have Voodoo.
I tried that Volume Boost today with the G2x. Not even close to what I expected. AudioBoost dev emailed me and told me that that app is only good for SGS family, so Im in desperate need of a booster for headphone jack. Ideas?

when using the phone its very low and speakerphone is so quiet you have to hold the phone right next to your ear
the bluetooth does the same thing
im using the gingerbread leak but changing roms to see if its phone related or rom related

I find the volume to be low when using bluetooth. Anyway to boost it?

I agree with the volume being really low. It is for some applications and others its fine, but overall its too low. Does anyone know of a volume mod we can do?

yeah it seems very low, what i did to fix this problem was use volume+ allows you to increase4 volume on speaker, headphones as well as bluetooth headsets now i only have to run the volume at 1/2 the volume to make it loud instead of all the way up and it still being low

in ORIGINAL 2.2 ROM, sound NOT LOW AT ALL !
if you flashed another 2.3.x rom , there sound driver not optimize yet...
Wait official update.

Yeah, I'm running stock all the way, and the speaker volume is where I have issues. I literally can't watch YouTube or really use it as a speakerphone as I have to hold it right to my ear to hear.
I got the wife a MT4G at the same time, and her speaker blows mine away.

I have yet to even root my G2X, 100% stock. Volume and sound quality just sucks on this device. The 1 speaker is not good at all from my experience. I've had several BB's that were way way better with quality and volume clarity.
If you do push the volume all the way up, it gets very distorted, no matter what quality media I'm using and especially with DTS enabled.
No deal breaker for me though.....I don't buy phones to use as a beatbox or watch movies I have a home theater for that purpose

I use this application called PowerAMP and it has a preset for your phone to play music through Speakerphone mode, and it is loud!. You can definitely hear the difference, even if I listen to music through a headset.

the problem was actually on a bluetooth speaker i have. i opened it and had to trim the circutboard to make the board and speaker fit in a very small area and i had to cut off the volume + button from the circutboard and i lowered the volume on accident and could not raise the volume to were i can hear it thats why i wanted to raise the max volume for the bluetooth but after messing with a small strand of copper wire i was able to pull a macgyver and raise the volume back up

If you really want it to be a lot louder and distorted just go to the android market and download the free "Galaxy Tuner" has a lot of options for other stuff besides just the sound/volume and so on.....

Increasing movie playback volume

I have a few films on my transformer but some are hard to hear when on the tube, I have it set to full volume and also have installed equlizer to increase the volume but still not that loud.
Any suggestions?

Use Voodoo control. you can get it off the market.

Voodoo control needs Root, custom kernel, but it works.
Also you can try Volume+ - it worked for me (even on stock).

i tried volume +- pre root . but voodoo is much better

I have tried volume+ buyt didnt work for me and i donyt think my transformer can be rooted, are they the only 2 ways?

Dakujem Dobre.
But be sure, to check the Development thread, because there is a new root tool - it made possible to root mine! And it is working like a charm. Voodoo kernel also.
Also made a guide in the General section if you need a little help.

You are the man, thank you very much.
Worked a treat now have a rooted transformer and voodoo control.
Next time I am in Slovakia I will buy you a drink

Volume + worked for me. However you have to understand that it has a lot to have the audio was encoded too. I have seen differences in the increase volume + provides from movie to movie.

Downmixing 5.1 audio without applying normalization and (in my case) a small volume boost can result in an annoyingly quiet stereo track.. with some loud parts coming from the original L/R 5.1 track.. (I think its l/r).. anyways.. Our silly devices are incapable of decoding and/or passing thru AC3 audio.. so when/if you convert the audio.. apply normalization at the very least.

EQ works for me. I turn all the sliders up and it just works. TF still sounds like crap tho (quality) but at least I can hear it.

How loud can it go on headphones?

Yo.
I need an answer on this. Can this phone go loud on headphones? Opinions are very mixed... How is it compared to Moto G?
I heard there are newer versions of N5, did they change something with volume or not? Maybe Android updates does something to it?
Pls notice that I'm talking about headphone out, not speakers.

Mine goes very loud. I also use viper4android though.
There is only one version of the n5

trollop thinks he's funny
could someone say how it is without v4a, just stock phone?

Not running stock but it's plenty loud. There's a mod and an app to let you change the mixer_paths. The DAC still isn't the greatest but at least you can turn up the volume.

Could you please tell me what this app is called?
So I can basically install it, change some numbers in mixer_paths and get higher than stock volume WITHOUT DISTORTION? That would be great!

Here you go

Loud enough to blow my ears out on max volume lol. It depends on your headphones too anyways.

In what unit of measure? Decibels? The output partially depends on your headphones and rigging up a decibel meter isn't exactly going to yield great results. Also, if I answered in decibels, I don't think you'd be we to process the information usefully.
..and that is why trollop was funny. You asked an unanswerable question. 11 is as valid as anything else because there is no unit of measure that answers the question that you could possibly understand.

Recalibration is not needed anymore. It was removed in system settings after Gingerbread.

Dont think so but we'll see

I just got this phone last night and spent the morning rooting it to install viper4android and Im pretty disappointed at how low the volume is with this phone even with everything maxed. My $40 budget Samsung blew this thing out of the water volume wise.
Is there no way to mod any of the sound files to get more volume from the DAC? I notice there is no default_gain.conf like Samung phones and Mixer_paths.xml is blank. This is a great phone but the sound is an absolute bummer.

Pair V4A with Dolby Atmos. This is what I did and volume drastically increased.

Thanks for the heads up I'll check that out.

He already did.

After adding Atmos to the v4a I was able to get a small increase by turning on virtualizer and volume leveler. It's still not too my liking but it definitely is better which I am grateful for.
There is nothing you can edit manually as far as gain or headphone volume in any config/XML files on this thing? These audio apps are able to make a difference but it's nowhere near enough. On my phone the 2/3 volume to full volume really doesn't change at all only the slider changes position.

some dev could pls try to port stereo speakers mod which is available for mi 3 which makes earpiece has speaker
