Alright guys...before ANYTHING i just want to make something clear...in this thread, i am talking about the Earpiece Volume...not the back speaker, not the HEADSET, not the bluetooth...just the in-call EARPIECE volume. sorry if i am coming off kinda rude but the truth of the matter is...every post i go to to search for this particular thing ppl are commenting with DSP Manager suggestions and Volume Hack and Volume+...well NONE of those effect the or can change the EARPIECE volume...just the phone speaker, or Bluetooth or HEadset.
whew.
now that i got that out of my hair lol...can somebody help me with this?i have an Inspire...rooted... with cyanmodgen 7. i did install this one kernel that somebody had out for a volume tweak, but the boost is mostly in my head i think...it was the cm7-inspire-audiofix-r1...
everything abt cyanmodgen7 is amazing...and i think there was a volume boost too from stock sense...BUT i was wondering if there was an app or a system tweak to raise the decibels.
thanks a lot guys! keep up the good work...im what u may call an advanced NOOB lol. so...easy on the words hah!
Do u mean like earbuds or one of those that's wired with built in Mic? Have u tried a pair that have their own volume control dial built in? I have a pair from my old chocolate touch but haven't tried them yet, just trying to throw out some ideas for you.

The only way to truely raise it to make a big difference is in the kernel, which means you'll have to raise it in.the source, then compile it. Ill probably have a cm7 compatible kernel out soon with a big volume boost. I already have one that's pretty loud, next one will be louder

You can try to look for Different music players in the market that may let you raise the volume higher. PowerAMP let me raise it a little bit after tweakage but not significantly. Im Sure theirs other ways if rooted too.

Cool thanks! I'm going through the market now looking at different music players. I am rooted on perfect storm 1.2 plus ziggy's Beta Kernel MECHA BFS 6 Apr 11 kernel...
There's an app called AudioBoost that can help... But you must be rooted to use it.

Nevermind, i used AudioBoost on my Samsung Vibrant way back when but the new version might not work on HTC devices... Will give it a whirl later today and report back.

Ok. I CANNOT find a thread which talks about the DAC in Sensation. How is the sound quality through headphones on this? Any previous Nexus S /SGS owners who would like to compare the Voodoo with sensation? Does it have Wolfson DAC in it?

Hate to break it to you but Supercurio, the creator of Voodoo sound, doesn't give a %&$# about the Sensation. He already has his hands full with the SGSII. And according to his words, not mine, he described the Wolfson Media Hub 8994 as "mediocre." He seems to think that the preamp is more important in audio quality and I happen to agree. Oh and the chance of the Sensation having the Wolfson DAC is the chance that an ice cube has in hell. Hope for a better preamp instead or OTG DAC+AMP support.

Yerr that's why I said "ported" because I remember Supercurio saying porting is possible
btw, I've been following supercurio for a long time and I cannot imagine to think that he would have thought the wolfson DAC is "mediocre" (obviously I may be wrong). If he thought so, he wouldn't have bothered with Voodoo Sound? Anyways thanks for the reply It seems time will tell everything.

Supercurio bothered to create Voodoo sound because he thought the preamp was "mind blowing" which he said in the same post as his DAC comment.
EDIT- Added Quote
Any updates on this? I would love to find out if someone made a way for us to update our sound capabilities without having to rely on CPU intensive apps such as volume plus. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I hate it, the only con for this phone. My speaker rattle when on highest.
i bought my sensation about 2 weeks ago and i really impresed with this phone features but one thing that really2 make me disappointed is the music volume is really low like hell!!...ive tried all the idea from this forum , volume +, eq, lifevibes but its seems nothing much happen ..i also looking for the " hearing aid" options on setting but couldnt find in my phone setting..its weird.. anyone got an idea about his matter??..how to boost this sensation volume?..im kinda frustrated regarding this matter, i love this phone but i maybe thinkin to let it go if this problem still persist...

There was no need to start another thread on this but, hell, it seems these days everyone is doin it....Anyway, if volume+ and eq doesn.t work for you, atm you can.t do very much about it, you can either ask for another unit ( i agree the volume is low on sensation, compared to others, but frankly i did manage to get good results with volume+ and eq...) or wait until there will be an unlocked bootloader so that the custom roms can fix this issue (if they can, that is)
hmmm...well atm i think i just wait for the unlocked bootloader as promise by htc to come over.thanx bro...your words make me feel a lil bit release..lol
Volume+ 1.7.3 lets you set it even louder. +10 volume +5 bass and put sound on Good Quality. Makes it louder than my evo. Leave off VR stuff and other, also dont run the separate equalize app it makes the sound lower.

Thanks for that, I couldnt work out for the life of me whats was wrong, I could not get the volume to boost no matter what I tried, I just realised that the Speaker Modifications was enabled and one of the sliders was off default..
Now I got louder ringtones, so thanks for pointing that out..

1.7.3 or 1.37? The volume + im seeing in the market is at 1.37. Who's the dev?
Also i see an eq recommended in this thread, what is the name and developer (or link )

Volume + sound boost ( search ,,volume sound boost,, and there should be an icon with a black volume dial ) and the version is 1.7.3 100%
Equalizer ( as it says )
Volume + has some issues with incoming calls, when it Force Closes and it is quite annoying because you have to press the popup dialog before answering the phone. The developers says it is fixed since 1.7.2 but i still get the error sometimes...
Equalizer on the other hand works for me ( i-ve made a custom profile with all the levels at maximum)

^ yeah hes got it. its actual volume+ not volume plus on market.
Like i said tho with equalizer enabled your not going to get much louder. As for FC issues i havent experienced them yet

VR gave me louder music but it seemed to lower notifications and ringer a bit. Maybe its just me lol
I purchased the app but I only got 1.7.2, don't see anyway to update it. I also didn't see any difference also, but that may be because I don't have the most updated version. ANY help, advice, direction would be great thanks...BTW I'm on T-Mobile Sensation.
thanks very helpful
I just want to add my 2 cents. The volume suck big time. I'm going to wait until they unlock the bootloader. I sure hope that is issues gets some attention from the gents here at XDA devlopers. Thats my 2 cents

Man from where can I get this app? On the market I only found the volume+ 1.37 which has the volume up to 7.

I love the Voodoo headphone amp as it boosts the headphone output to a decent level, but installing voodoo sounds has its problems on ICS with calls, etc and all the know bugs. Is there a headphone amp app or widget or something? Best I've found is to make a preset EQ with everything boosted but this affects sound more than Supercurio's work on the Wolfman chip and enabling the headphone boosts.
Jetaudio is the player I've been using on my other phone. Get it from play store. Once you have it go to EQ and look at the top. There is a built in preamp. Slide the bar to 10 and watch your ears bleed. It is by far the best free player that I've used.

Actually thank eollie. I'm pretty sure he's the one that let me know about it. Well it was either him or Lumin. Hard to tell the other members of TFTN apart anymore. lol
I'll give Jet a try myself.
Not to hijack, if anyone knows of dev info on compiling new codecs for Android, would you PM me? The lack of Apple lossless keeps me from using my phone for music.
Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development

Can you really tell the difference between lossless and compressed? I've tried with some really good earbuds and it's super hard for me to tell. Try talking some albums that you know really well and converting them to mp3 at 224. If you can tell the difference from the phone I'd be amazed.

Yeah, I use Grado cans and anything below 512 kbps is like nails on a chalkboard to me. My library is all Apple lossless at this point and transcoding on the fly is a complexity I'd rather not deal with.
Edit -- Switching to IEMs has made anything compressed even at 512 kbps rather painful. As full-rate Apple Lossless or Flac is typically around 800-1000 kbps, at least for me, there isn't any meaningful gain for the pain.
jetAudio does support Apple Lossless now, and doesn't have the gaps between tracks that used to plague older Android players. It's got it's own usability issues, but it does a decent job.
Now if I can figure out why Voodoo Sound occasionally stops working for me to control amp gain so I can keep the digital gain maxed out.

Since I stopped using my 4g as a phone and just use it as a music player voodoo sounds has worked all the time every time. I think receiving phone calls might be what is causing it to stop working. I few others have reported the same. Something to take a look at at least. If your using jet it has it's own built in pre amp that works well.
I think that maxed out issue you are talking about is a setting in voodoo app causes the db keep going up

I seem to be finding that either placing or receiving a call "disconnects" Voodoo Sound from the analog gain.
The preamp control in jetAudio is a little different -- Voodoo has the benefit of keeping the digital gain as high as possible and just using the audio gain, which should improve sound quality by keeping digitization noise lower.
I have logs for that i go on wheresmycellphone.com and call my phone run logocat right before the call. No one has provided logs yet ? There seems to be dual speaker mode thats changed and an audio route problem. Do u want me to up logs. Does voodoo work on any of ics roms with just dsp manager and how do u tell if it is working really. I think the tv out driver plays a slight role as well there is bluetooth sharing enabled during call when headset not being used or anything.

I bet you still listen to vinyl don't you. LOL I see your point for sure but on my earbuds I can't tell the difference. As long as it's loud and clear and loud it's good enough for me.

Hello xda users,
I want to know if there is a way to increase the volume of the A701, especially the headphone output (I dont want to stress people around me with the build in speaker)?
Under normal circumstances the volume is great but e.g when travelling by train or plane I sometimes wish the volume would be a little higher, because of the noise from the environment.
I dont want to damage my ears, of course I know that high volume isnt good for health!
My SGS2 and my S+ got a higher volume through a new custom Kernel. Unfortunately there is no custom Kernel for the A701
Some media players can increase the volume of audio, but then it sounds messed up and its of course not systemwide (e.g. emulators etc).
Can anyone help me with this question?
I am running an almost untouched 4.1.1. Stock (Build Acer_AV051_A701_1.028.00_EMEA_DE, Image Acer_AV051_A701_RV05RC08_EMEA_DE) with Unlocked Bootloader and it's rootet.
Check out "Speaker Boost", ymmv
By omega centauri, works for headphone too.
Thank you for your answer, I will give it a try. Sometimes the solution is so easy I also read about "AlsaMixer" in the comments, if Speaker Boost doesnt work I will try AlsaMixer.
Thanks a lot!

Ha Ha, only because I didn't post it till yesterday :laugh::laugh::laugh: Was such a simple edit I didn't see a need to. Sometimes I forget to post things
Now, for a good audio mod, I advise
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
Use the CortexAx with NEON driver
Also, I use the Creative Zen IR samples.
You have to play with the settings, and you'll drop a couple notches in loudness, but the clarity and bass more than makes up for it.
Will probably cook it all into my Rom
Also, if you're running my Rom, I've cooked up a nifty little 30 step volume mod, rather than the 15 step (stock).
