so i read that the volume+ app will boost sound, it does work for me with the music app but my transformer is already really loud for music.
i want to boost the volume while watching movies as i have some mkvs and avis with very low volume, and volume+ does not seem to work for that through the speakers. haven't tested the headset.
i'm currently not rooted, but if possible i'd root to do this. I just want to be able to boost the volume while watching movies and then go back to normal when i'm doing anything else.
Any ideas?
Buy speakers. Unplug when finished.

thanks for the complete lack of help.
You asked for any thoughts. I pointed out an option that you haven't mentioned yet. There's only so much you can do to force the volume to go louder from a software point of view as well as the actual speakers themselves. Thus consider a hardware option of buying external speakers which not only allows you to have louder volume depending on which speakers you buy, as well as it allows you to go back to normal by unplugging them.

Volume+ helps on my phone but sadly did nothing for my TF speakers.

Volume+ worked fine for me on the Transformer. You do have to experiment with it a bit. On mine I would start a song playing then open V+, I would set the EQ and volume then hit "enable" and listen to the difference. Some EQ settings and volume settings actually made the sound quieter. For example boosting the volume over 12 made the volume much quieter. I can't remember which EQ setting had that effect but I think in the end I used 11 for the volume (it gets pretty loud and a little distorted if you turn it up all the way after this with the rocker switch, but i figured I could keep that lower anyway) and I used "good quality" for the EQ. Yes I am rooted running prime 1.7 and clemsons version4 kernel. Not sure if you will have the exact same results but hope this helps anyway.

Yes. Go into music player and select a song and look up at the controls . You will see DTS enable it and you will get a considerable boost in volume
My media volume is loud and clear.
Mine too. Much better than the G2 both connected and via Bluetooth.
Does anyone know of any apps to fix the low audio output for watching videos. Music and call colume is fine for me...but I can barely make out the words on any video I play...even with the SRS enchancments on...I guess I'm looking for something to boost the audio output using any video player. I've tried "equalizer" but it didn't work at all in boosting the volume. Thanks.
Same problem here..except that the music isn't quite loud enough to me. Same problem of equalizer being useless. I made a topic about this in the general forum, but nothing was solved unfortunately
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
How is equalizer useless? I get a fairly significant boost. I put 100 and 300 at 12dB, 1000 at 10dB, 3000 at 8, and 10000 at 4. Make sure you enable it by pressing the power icon and selecting equalizer.
I will give it another shot with the presets you mentioned tomorrow at the gym. That's when I tend to watch movies...and the noises around drown out the audio...keeping my fingers crossed
It's useless because any boost that it may give is leveled out by something...probably the htc sound driver

Well you must not be doing it right or your phone is defective.
Same issue with low audio here. It depends what video player I use, the same applies to GPS navigation Copilot has very low volume, Sygic is reasonably ok. All applications are at the maximum volume.
I think that this issue needs to be fixed with update from HTC or we will need some application to boost the volume without too much distortion.
Even when listening to music trough headphones, volume is not as loud as i would like to have very often. Far cry from my HTC Diamond which felt twice as loud compared to Sensation.
Because I have alot of AVI files...and for some reason the sound cuts out after like two minutes of watching a video with the stock player(def an issue that needs to be fixed...but maybe for another day)....I have been using the app "Arc Media" to watch them...I tried the presets this morning suggested by Karnovarian...and it seemed to help some? Maybe I was just sub consciously hoping it did...or maybe it was because I was a couple of treadmills down from the big fan then yesterday. Either way, it was still lower then I would have liked...def a difference from my mytouch 4g I gave away to a family member.
Any other luck with "equilaizer" or other apps?

I mean NO disrespect..so please don't take it anyway. But there are like 10 of these threads. OP please do a search before starting threads like this that have been discussed a million times. It stagnates the forums if we keep discussing the same issues.
Low volume, dust under screen, loose buttons, dead pixels, data dropping issues<----all have like 10 threads a piece. Just a little help from me to you.

Since these issues are so frequently encountered, should we not keep them @ front page to keep awareness of the issues?
Doing a search in this forum brought up nothing on the issue....try one..
Anyway, I'm gonna give it till next week to see if volume+ gets working...
Thanks guys
Volume+ now works on the Sensation I'm using it and it really does make a difference. I'm worried now that the speakers explode or something lol.

Can you, or someone point me in the direction of the Volume + app... I searched around some. Couldn't find it :/
NVM, found it.
I just purchases Volume+ but it seems like it does not improve my speaker volume at all.
I tried increasing speaker volume to max but my ringtones still as soft.....
Anyone tested this apps on sensation and confirmed it is working?
Maybe i am missing something....

I tested it, works great. Though i only tested playing music and videos, no other sounds like ringtones and stuff. Also, play with the settings to find the best/ simplest.
Do any of you guys use this? The low speaker is started to frustrate me like crazy. Can barely hear calls on speakerphone even when all the way up, and I have to turn the volume all the way up to even be able to hear youtube videos and sounds in games. It's pathetic. Will the volume+ app fix this? And what setting do you use? I'm just looking for it to be a little louder and not blow the speaker.

There's also Equalizer in the Market which is what I use.

Not sure why this isn't. Bigger topic or why it hasn't been addressed. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say the speaker volume is disappointing. Any way to increase it? Volume control + doesn't work as it doesn't let you increase the volume past factory limitations. Voodoo sound is only for increasing headphone jack quality.
anyone?

Volume+ works for me as well nothing special has to be done I just go into the Speaker Settings, enable the speaker modifications and increase the volume level. I have no idea why you are having problems but there is no doubt that this app makes my phone much louder.
As it was said by the developer, volume+ will not work with a stock rom. Last time I looked, he said it will work with miui and cyanogenmod. Read the notes on the market and his website.

Okay, I'm running Pete's stock rooted 2.3.7. I just removed voodoo and installed volume+. It's working with both speaker and headphone. It is possible that having both installed, volume won't work. It is also possible that since I removed voodoo, volume is working. Increasing the volume limit, step by step, that the boost isn't easily noticeable. I don't suggest this without lowering the main volume from system first. After I got past 8 and around 11, there was a noticeable increase in volume with an increase of distortion too. Going from that level back down to 0, I noticed it right away.
I think the problem before was the increase was so slight when compared to voodoo that it didn't seem like it was working. I'm sure having voodoo installed, even though disabled, was keeping volume from working. Now when I get some time I gotta play with the eq and see what happens.
I prefer voodoo for headphones. It might be my imagination but I think it's cleaner sounding.

You are using the wrong app. Its called Volume+ there is no control in the name.

This is the app we're talking about:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12599609#post12599609
If you're on CM7 or alike you must first use Titanium Backup to remove DSP manager because it will interfere with it.
If you're on stock, use "best quality" setting on the latest version. That's the only one which seems to make a difference when changing the level but only on stock ROM.
I just discovered why it seemed like the eq wasn't working. If you have volume+ at 0, you won't hear any changes in tone when playing with sliders or presets. You need to get the volume level of the app up to a noticeable level, then you will hear a difference with tone and dsp. The developer even said in his FAQ that volume+ is software controlled and voodoo is hardware controlled. Kinda like the difference between hardware and software decoding when watching movie files.
Equalizer by smart studios it works on music, headphones etc

After going through a dozen [non-working] volume boosting apps, I finally found one that worked on the Skyrocket.
It has several settings: speaker, headset, bluetooth, in-call (this setting requires root).. I've tested both ends of the spectrum, and it has boosted or lowered my volume greatly.
So if you are in the market for a volume boost, check out Volume+. I will verify that this works on the SGH-I727.
Edit....no effect at all on buoyancy
Speaker headset or bluetooth
Thanks! Previously i have tried that app on other devices but it no workie
Will check.it out again

Did you get the paid version? That's what i have and i did a make shift test to see if it worked..
I had a microphone that was held to my phone and i played a test sound with no boost and with a boost.. There was a 6 bar difference.
It works for me.
What rom.
