Hello everyone, I am starting this thread to find if there are any Devs who can figure out on what is really wrong on the Sensation's speaker volume.
My experience during my HD2 days, I flashed different android roms with some low volume and some have high or loud volume. I think it had to do with the Rom. Is there any ways for the Devs who will make or currently making custom roms to take a look on this? Maybe there is an adjustment in the rom itself where you can override or adjust the overall volume of the speaker. Just a thought, thank you all more power.

Gave ya a thanks for asking this one in the hopes that a dev takes notice.
The external speaker volume ( or lack thereof ) is the only thing that chaps my ass about the Sensation.
You should try using Volume+ it solved my speaker problem

Using it now with the settings suggested in one of the posts around here, it's still pathetic ( almost as pathetic as my old ass ears ).
voodoo sound and video is what the sensation needs combine that with OC/UV it will be insane
Great question, imho. Still have my HD2 (soon upgrading to Sens.), and I'm well aware of the volume level being all over the place with different roms. It seemed as if they weren't even aware, although with all the complaints I don't understand how.
Volume+ is a band-aid workaround, while the issue should just be fixed altogether. I doubt it's a hardware issue.
Volume+ does works
Did you try Equaliser or DSP Manager?
Boosting treble can increase the volume output

midrange is most of the good volume. I think we have plenty of treble already. I boost +15 with a slight mid hump and it sounds great!
I got to play with an evo this past weekend and the volume on that phone is incredible. I'm hoping to get nearly the same levels from my sensation. Tried the market fixes with no real improvement. Thanks for bringing this issue up. The previous answers to the problem were either the market app fixes or wait till s-off. Now we have it....subscribed.

Volume+ and equalizer works, but it would be nice to have a volume hack like the Inspire built into the roms.

I agree with you all about the App market volume or any other, but would like a built in the Rom itself, permanent.

Mine is still a bit quiet even with volume +
I'm also disappointed with volume on htc sensation. I've tried volume+ but it made no difference!
Interesting question. Following this post now.
Anybody knows if there is a working version of DSP manager for the Sensation??!

Same here.
Even tried to play with the echosettings and stuff, but nothing happened.
Alas Volume+ is not compatible with all custom roms, Equaliser and DSP are...from my experience on DHD.
On N1 volume boost was included in Kernels
If the Sensation has the same speaker as N1 and DHD don't expect miracles, the trick is too boost treble to the maximum, it will make ringtones loud but it will kill the quality too.
The only 2 things that are refraining me to swap my sgs2 to Sensation are the speaker and death grip

In settings, call settings, hearing aid (HAC) makes the phone louder.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
yeah, that will certainly make it louder! i've used that many times before, but the downside is that you cannot control the earpiece volume; it remains, ear splitting loud!!!
Good to know...lol. i definitely have to say the volume of the inspire 4g is the only thing about the phone i dont like.

There's a couple of fixes available for the low sound problem. I installed Volume + and it significantly increased the ringtone volume - which was my complaint, since I'd missed calls.

Which app did you install? I searched AppBrain for Volume + and came up with Volume Control + but no Volume + by itself.

Search the Market for Volume+ Meltus and you will easily find it. XAviierG's method is free however.
edit: if you've got any other dedicated volume/equalizer type of applications (such as DSP Manager which comes with several ROMs) you will want to disable them, as they will conflict with Volume+ and cause FC's, in my experience. However, equalizers that are built into various music apps (such as Power Amp) will work just fine.
haha well if your roooted, most roms automatically provides sounds boosts.

Volume+ Sound Boost for Gingerbread

Credits: MeltusI've tested it and it's increased the speaker volume drastically without reducing sound quality. It's great for streaming music, radio, live scanner feeds and stuff. It makes the loudspeaker LOUD. Works on my custom ROM (See it in my signature).
Thank you so much!!!!!

BETA Version (1.61 whatever)
Speaker Phone:
Speaker Modifications: ON
EQ Settings: GOOD QUALITY
Volume Level: FIVE OR SIX
Bass Enhance: OFF
i ran it on cm7 made NO difference at all ... not a tinny bit :S
Works on CM7 here, stock kernel.
Just a question for you guys: have you come across a volume/equalizer app that works on a speakerphone call? I've gotten Volume+ and DSP Manager to work on everything except for when the phone is in speakerphone mode. I was hoping to reduce the "tinnyness" of callers with a treble reduction and midrange boost.
Can something similar be done with the headphone jack? I use it often to connect to my car stereo and even at max volume it's not very loud.
Well it seems to have solved MY problem, which was low volume on the ringtones - I was missing calls, with the phone in my pocket - beyond that, I didn't fiddle around with the settings.
Thanks much!
-Mike
should we restart after applying settings? i rely find no difference at all . som1 can explain me why?

I have not tried it as of yet, but I am looking for something to boost my speakerphone, it is terrible! Most of the apps distort the sound and make it unusable... interested in this one.
There are a few threads on this already. I have commented on all of them so far lol.
The quick and dirty is that it works for most. It works for me fine. You have to adjust the settings that fit you without busting your speaker lol.
I also use equalizer in conjunction with Volume+. Now I can hear the speakerphone. It's not perfect but it was better than it was IMO.
what i found for best results (i have it set like this on mine and my buddies)
Speaker option checked
volume boost is at +12
equalizer is on good quality
bass boost is on +5
as far as using the equalizer app and volume plus, i dont recommend it. usually causes slightly more muffled music in my opinion.
Thanx for the feedback guys, wot bout eq settings?

Just to throw my 2 cents in, Volume+ has little to no difference... I'm still searching for something similar to GalaxyS VooDoo Sound Hack.
just was watching a movie and it was so low can anyone do a volume hack for speaker output it gotta be a way via build prop or xml i just dont know where to look
Have you try Volume+, and I found this in the general forum: menu> settings> call> check the "hearing aids" box.
Volume+ works great, been using it since launch. Huge improvement for all audio outputs, and a kick ass equalizer

Just to throw my 2 cents in, Volume+ has little to no difference... I'm still searching for something similar to GalaxyS VooDoo Sound Hack... in a lot of cases volume+ can actually lower the volume, but maxing everything out gives you a lil bit of an improvement but not much.

What's up gang...I'm new to the Sensation (just picked it up yesterday)...and have been trying to look for tips on how to increase the speaker volume.
I'm using Volume+ pro....but doesn't seem to help much. Suggestions?
I'm all stock for now.

I have volume + and it works really well. On +20 volume setting I have to tweak the frequencies down individually as it is too much for the speakers to handle. At +20 with all bands at under 100 I get really loud ringtone with no distortion. It works far better than dsp manager. Am running reverted aosp rom with bricked 1.6 kernel on my xe.

SRS Enhancement is also great at improving speaker quality/volume. Comes in the HTC Music player.
