External Speaker to loud
Does anyone know of a mod or adjustment to decrease the external speaker volume? On the lowest setting it’s loud. I like to listen to slacker at night before going to sleep. I have the Galaxy 4G with the following:
[ROM][ODIN] Stock DEODEXED KD1 [Root][EDT][5.4.2011]
[KERNEL] Bali [VoodooSnd / BLN / BFQ / no OC] "Extended Battery Life" [5/24/2011]
Thank you
Get voodoo control. You can adjust the speakers volume through that.
Thank you for the fast reply. Voodoo control will control the speaker on the phone? I don't mean the head phones the speaker on the back.
Yes it definitely will. I increased my volume over the limit on the speaker atm.
Where's the speaker ATM setting? I have voodoo control plus 1.0.7.3 I don't see that option? Thank you
I just changed the volume limit. That should work. If it doesn't I dunno what to tell you.
OK thank you for trying. Maybe someone else has an answer. Just to be clear one more time. I'm talking about the speaker on the phone not any headphones. When I listen to the phone speaker it's to loud on the lowest setting. I would like to adjust the volume to a lower level. I don't see that option in voodoo sound only for the Headphone amplifier.
Voodoo works. On home screen long press the home screen, choose shortcut, choose voodoo. That will let you adjust the volume. The more -DB will decrease your volume. Hope that helps
Oops sorry. That's only for headphones =P

Does no one have an answer for my request? Thank you
I don't want to point out what might be obvious but when I use the speakerphone for calls and music alike (both from external speaker on back of phone) I just start the call or song and then use the volume rocker on the side of the phone. Does this help?

Thank you for pointing out the obvious , but no that doesn't help. Ok using the volume rocker on the side the external speaker on back of phone is too loud on the lowest setting when playing music at night. Example when playing slacker I use the volume rocker on the side of the phone this is adjusting media volume. The question " Is there a way to adjust the gain to a lower value on the lowest setting so the volume is lower?" One of the developers should know a way to adjust the gain in maybe the kernel or somewhere?

Let me answer your question since it appears you need a straight forward response.
NO there is nothing to change the external speaker volume.
Additionally,.... TOO LOUD? The put some cloth on the speaker, put it on a pillow, do something to muffle the sound, but please, you have your answer... now let it die.
The op came here with a problem and was looking for a legitimate answer. Please don't get curt with posters because you think that their question isn't worth your time. I find that muffling the sound of the phone with a pillow to be unacceptable. Hopefully the op finds the answer that he needs before people like you tarnish the reason why open forums are here.

If there's a way to control alsa that may be the way to go .

Thank you I'm glad someone supports what I have to say and not be rude about it. I hope that someone could come up with a fix. I'll be patiently waiting an answer fingers crossed. Oh by the way the pillow does work but it's not a fix I like. Thank you everyone!

Bro you must have the hearing of a f'n bat cause even with the back speaker all the way up its still not loud to me. But I would say I have selective hearing( only hear what you want when you want and tune the other BS out). As for getting a lower volume try elixir app in the market it gives you 1 or 2 more options on volume. I would try turning system and music down once you have the app. Hope this helps

Thank you GDofWR420 for introducing me to the Elixir App. Unfortunately it didn’t resolve my issue. I guess my speaker is extra loud or something. Anyways under music “which is the same as media volume” it has 1/15 on settings 1 being the lowest with a percentage of 7% percent. It would be nice to change that to maybe 3%. This must be hard coded somewhere in a file. This app will not set it to a lower value. I also downloaded SamServMode went through all the options and still no change. It’s a pretty cool app to change system settings. Thank you so much GDofWR420 for trying.

Is there a simple way to up the volume? speakerphone and headphone volume, i work roofing and like to listen to music, my phone is rooted as i figure thats required. I thought i read about something earlier there was an app that would allow this.
I'm guessing the apps called louder volume hack. I tried it, not sure if I did anything wrong but I couldn't notice much difference to be honest. not sure about the in call volume check though!!

I'm looking to get move volume options on my rooted Captivate 2.2.
Right now the system sounds are too loud for me....even after replacing the selection sounds...still too loud. The volume levels are stock 1-7...I want lower sound than the current lowest of 1.....Is there any way?.
I enjoy the feedback of sounds ...but the current sound level 1 is just too high
Thanks
Jim

You can barely hear level 1. Do you live in a library or what?

I think he is talking about when he plugs in headphones into his Captivate. I agree with him, it's way too loud. And I haven't found a way to make it softer either.
On my Captivate level 1 is still too loud for the system "click" sound...I like it more subtle. My HTC Aria gives me much more control over the system sounds and I just want to get the same on the captivate.

I too am annoyed by the system sounds...the "clicking" when navigating through the menus. I like the feedback and setting the volume low for the system sound works great for me (I don't normally use headphones). The problem is, every so often, the volume gets turned back up. Why is it doing this? And how do I get it to "stick". I haven't really found a rhyme or reason -- I can reboot and the volume will still be set how I had it....other times I can just turn the screen on and the volume will be turned back up.
Ghosts?
I believe if you dial *#*#197328640#*#* it gets you into a menu where #5 is audio. It's possible you can mess around in there and adjust the volume levels
why not just turn the system volume down and leave the others at regular volume high ?
Does anyone know if it's possible to link the ringtone volume level with the notification volume level? I remember it being possible to do this on my Captivate when you went into Settings > Sound and clicked on Volume, there was a checkbox at the bottom of the pop-up menu to link them. I'm not sure if that was just because of the ROM I had on it, or if it was also stock Froyo. I liked it because I could quickly lower my text message notification volume right from the volume rocker, as it would then control both the ringtone and the notification level. But now it only lowers my ringtone volume. So is this at all possible to do? And if not, is it something that a dev could possibly work into a ROM?
You could use the app called audio manager that does it.

Thanks for the tip. Just downloaded it and it does, in fact, allow the volume rocker to adjust both my ringtone and text message volume at the same time. So I will definitely be using this for now; although, I really don't need all the other features. I wish I didn't have to download an entire app to accomplish this small task. I feel like I'm always having to do that haha. I just wish it was easy enough to include these small little individual preferences right into the system, framework, etc. by yourself. I also feel like that was a great little feature and I wonder why they would've done away with it in GB. Ohh well, thank you though!

it works like a charm
i buy it now... i hated the problem that my gt p6200 didn't sound as an iPhone ( very lower than an iPhone ) and i can't use my monster beats BUT NOW with this app it works like a charm! very high volume, very crystalline... you're a genius but let me say... SAMSUNG can't let go out a product with this low level of output volume...
i only HOPE that with the new ICS coming out you will support this app for whose have purchased it and i hope that i can use it with the new ics...
can you say me something about this?

Great app
most devices you can adjust the volume levels from service menu, not this one, also galaxy note. The option is there number 5 AUDIO but does nothing when pressed.
Stupid issue guys, did someone try to use his Tab 7+ in AUX out mode since installed this app?! I did, I usually use my P6200 as an mp3 player in my car (with a simple jack male/male).
Once I just had to pitch with volume keys up/down to increase/decrease it without touching my stereo...Now playing with those keys it let you increase/decrease dBs, no more the whole volume audio (that I have to set with the stereo grrrrr)

annoying bug
hi everyone, i found a bug and i sent 2 mails to support but no replies... may you help me and say me how to solve this problem?
i'll report here the two mails:
mail#1: the app works like a charm but every time i touch the screen and the system gives me a sound the volume became 0.0 db...
for example, i'm listening music and i use your app to give me more 5db... when i push with my finger on the next track button the volume became 0.0 db ( default value ) and the songs change (it's ok, i say it with my finger ) .... also a Facebook notifications appears system plays the sound notification and the volume became 0.0db, EVERY TIME i have to push the external buttons of volume on my tablet to reactivate the activity of your app... ( only 2 push are needed - 1 for volume sound control appears on the screen and 1 more to move the value, as soon as the value is moved for example from 9db to 8.5 db the app return to do his job )
mail#2 (new details after more working days):I'm back to remind you that the application voodoo louder on GTab plus has a little but noisying bug.. I tried to solve it with this action: i unselect the sound of clicking buttons: selection tone... Now when I touch something on the screen the volume remains the same as setted in your app... But I can't remind myself every time I listen music to unselect it... And if a notification comes up in lose the higher volume of your app...
---------------------------------------------------------
say me how you solved this problem and if it's only mine...
thank you all Xda Users

Do you have "Smart Boost" selected? That's what I use and I have no such problems.

Are you sure that when you for example lock your tab with the external button the volume doesn't decrease? Try playing music with any player you want, increase volume with vodoo louder for example of + 5db and while you're listening your track hit the lockscreen button... Your volume will go to 0.0db, don't confuse yourself with the smart boost line at bottom... THE line will say + 5db but if you try to adjust volume you will understand that you are listening at 0.0db.. Try and say me something.

It keeps it's setting just fine. Smart boost simply extends the upper range, similar to how Voodoo sound behaved on my Galaxy S. I can post screens if you truly need proof.
But seriously, this wasn't an issue before JB. I listen to music at night with my headphones on, to drown out my husband's snoring. Before (I think before the JB update, but not positive), I could put it on a very low volume, and I'd barely hear it. This was great, as it didn't wake me up when a louder song came on.
Since upgrading to JB (again, I think that's when it started), the volume "slider" has specific notches and can no longer be set to any volume along the spectrum. The lowest "notch" is too loud at night and keeps waking me up.
Anybody know of an app or setting or something that would revert this back to a free sliding volume switch, where I could go so low, almost to the point of barely hearing it? I was startled nearly out of my pajamas last night, when Van Morrison screeched something in the middle of a relatively sedate song.
Thanks in advance!

if you have CWM installed i can fix that for you..
I haven't noticed a difference in volume since the update, but I never have the volume that low. You could just get headphones with inline volume controls to decrease the volume.
I never even used ics on this tablet so I don't know either..

Sorry i read this wrong.. i thought you wanted it louder.. but yes you can still use the equalizer with this and set everything low so the volume will also be lower.. and when you need that extra boost it will be there also...
install the market version and turn down the eq settings might help.. You dont need CWM with this version.. you have to download it because the tablet is incompatible with it in the playstore.. once installed open the app and click on app to open it..
the top option is for your headphones
the middle option is for the tablet speakers
the bottom is for bluetooth

Thanks for providing this. I installed it and have no idea what to do with it. I know I have to select the first option, but after that I'm lost. And I don't notice any changes in sound with the headphones on, when I change any of these settings. Any idea what I might want to change to get lower minimum volume?
Edit: I selected this as my MusicFX option, under my Sound settings.
