Increasing movie playback volume - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

If your phone is rooted, then you can download and install an audio hack. Check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517745 and/or search for one in the market.

G2x volume seems low

Did anyone else notice that when the volume is anything other than full blast the volume seems very low?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
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.

[Q] Low music volume on earphones Galaxy S2

Hi,
Just converted to android from iphone.
When listening to music via earphones, im noticing the volume isnt that loud even when ive turned it up to the max (15).
Ive seen other posts explaining how to get into service mode and amend some volume settings, but this only applies to in call volume. Im looking to increase the volume when listening to music.
The current volume is def too low.
Bump.. Need help!
Using sennheiser cx180, getting amazing sound quality
any fix for this yet? really annoying!
bump
that makes two of us now. please someone nut this out
Bump. Same problem
Same problem here.
And another one here with same problem.
When I increase "Media volume" it only increases volume until it gets to about 50% on the bar, after that nothing happens when I continue to raise it to a full bar.
Bump same problem here, up full its about 3/4 the volume of my iPhone, its fine in quiet environments but and ambient noise at all and you hear it over this. Its just one of the many frustrations of this phone when it comes to music. Seriously thinking about eBaying it,
Cyanogen and MIUI teams are looking into porting their ROMs to the Galaxy S 2. That should fix everything
Hey guys is there a fix for this yet?? I am running lite'ning Rom and even before this the volume from music through the headset is so so low!!! In ambiant places like the bus or walking through the city u can forget talking to anyone or listening to music!!!
Is there anything that can boost it??? On my old iphone when i jailbreaked it i got an app that mad it very loud that i could not put it On full lol... Pls guys if anything please reply!!!! :-(
Anyone with any solotion to this please??? its the only real fault with the phone

Had the same problem...
Hey, I had the same problem with my unlocked Galaxy S II, The volume would not go up even at 15, same level of sound on all numbers. All I did was reboot it and now it works fine. you should try it too
seriously this is the phone that is apparently the 'best of 2011', yet it has such a huge glaring bug like this? To shock new buyers who were told this phone was great?
This is a dealbreaker. Volume on a phone matters. Why hasn't a solution been offered, or rather why is this such a concealed ill-discussed problem?
I don't think it's quite a bug or Samsung's fault. I've been using original Ipod earbuds from the Apple Store and they work like a charm. But when I try to use some sony headset, the sound is all noisy and it's quality sucks. I think that there may be a problem like drivers or something on how the signial is sent to the terminal.

BUMP!!
Same problem here, what is going on here??
I shouldn't have to root and mod my phone to be able to hear a call on the street or to listen to music. Which isn't a solution anyway.
WTF??
had anybody contacted samsung support?
Still nobody knows what is wrong?
My other media players, computers, hifis all play at ok volumes, so the problem is with the phone..
Any input appreciated

Can try this by SuperCurio. VoodooLOUDER is for SGSIIs but it is paid* and also Root.
*From Market Description
Only after its fully confirmed by a wizard that the application will work on your device, you're allowed to purchase it.
Simple answer: it's a commercial app accessible via a free compatibility detection.

Think right now that is about all that you will get w/o hardware hacks or something directly from Samsung.
I use Voodoo Control App on my GS1 with a Voodoo kernel and it works like a charm.
Voodoo + PowerAmp + Bose in-ears = Pure Sonic Enjoyment.
There are from what i know a few fixes for this (i think)
If you are running Cyanogenmod7.1 you have the DSP Equalizer that helps to boost the volume of your device.
Ive heard of a App on the market Called Volume plus (never used it but from searching on the internet ive heard of this)
And then if you are using Power Amp you can have full control of adjusting volume through the settings in the music player

[Q] CALL QUALITY (call eq?)

I have always had a lot of low end sound when in a call on my skyrocket (always as in before root) making it hard to hear someone who mumbles or has a lower voice.
w or w/o headphones still have problem. *moreso referring to speaker on phone though
I have tried a plethora of eq's but none seem to affect incoming call sound.
flashed beats audio (by fuss132) problem got worse.
is there any root level eq's or any way i can boost my mids and decrease lows on calls?
I would like to know too. My new A9220 is too trebly but an EQ might help.
Have you tried finding volume+ on google there's a forum that has a free app in it
CM9 Skyrocket
Thanks I have downloaded volume+, the paid version but I need root access and I've been unsuccessful in rooting so far. Any other product suggestions welcome. Volume+ say their speaker quality function is experimental and it doesn't seem like it gives the ability to EQ the incoming call but lets hope it helps or this phone is going back....

Cause the mentioned app does not require root, I thought you may not be rooted. Anyway, you'll have to increase handset audio gain at mixer_paths_*.xml found in /system/vendor/etc.
You can increase all audio output devices' gains. It's usually 84, increase by 2 till you find the one that suits you.
This thread has a guide, but it's since these files were located in /system/etc, and the guide shows a tip for speaker, not handset. 95 will probably get your handset to crackle, you won't love that.
