Does anyone know of a workaround or app that can lower the lowest setting of the default htc music app? Even at the lowest volume, i think its too loud for my ears (i would like to preserve my good hearing till im old ). I have noise cancelling headphones and dont need it that loud. I wish we had volume control like an ipod.
Could Volume+ do it?

So we have root!
Somebody known app or tweak to increase the ringer volume?
Thx
I have no idea!
The volume of the ringer in my X10i is also too bad.
sometime I can't hear what the people said.
I also want to know how to change it.
So no one found a way to increase the ringer volume? I feel sometimes that I am going deaf. I may have to change my ringtone, but this is really annoying missing calls while you are driving.
Ringer as well as incall volume is too low in the X10.

true, but at least I can illuminate the in call volume issue with using bluetooth headset but the ringer...
This is weird that there is no hack for it.
Just use a decent ringtone, I've not found the volume to be a problem.
hey guys
i know theres not a hack for the volume ringer, but what i did was i use a program which can edit music files on my PC, and i just increase the actual volume of the file itself. then i transfer it to my phone and it plays a lot louder on the speaker. hopefully that can work for some of u
the program i use is called 'cool edit pro' however im sure theres a couple of programs which can do the same thing.
the effect is called 'increase amplitude', i usually use a scientific filter to decrease the amount of base in a song (which hte x10's speakerphone distorts anyways) and then increase the amplitude by about 10dB's. makes it a lot louder on the actual phone vs just putting the original mp3 in.

Ringtone is decent, volume sucks.
Thanks for your solution but that wasn't what I was looking for. I want to explode my speaker and I am looking for a hack.
Cheers,
search google for editing audiopara.csv, not sure how to do it myself as I find the volume to be mostly fine, but that is the key to changing it
just lookied at my /system dump, it's actualy audiofilter.csv on x10, and it's in system/etc
So I only noticed just now the Nexus 5 did not come with any earbuds. I have been using some cheap Skullcandy earbuds for music and they are decent enough to block out transit noise and play music at a moderate volume. However when I try making a phone call, at the lowest volume the sound is just ridiculously loud. It is painful for me to attempt to listen to more then 10-15 seconds of call audio wearing these. I also tried with my Galaxy Nexus earbuds, and it's the same story.
Has anyone found a pair of earbuds with mic that delivers gentle, quiet call audio at the lowest call volume of the Nexus 5 on stock ROM? Failing that, is there anything I can do to decrease the headset call volume further than the volume control will allow?
Bump, anyone else experiencing this? It shouldn't be deafening to make a phone call with earbuds...
OK I'm going to bump this again. It got WAY worse on 4.4.1. While I appreciate the volume boost for the phone's speaker, the earbud volume situation is out of control. The lowest volume setting on music, in a quiet room, is the loudest I can tolerate on earbuds - no option of turning it down lower. The lowest volume setting on phone calls is earth-shattering on earbuds - completely unusable for conversations unless I want to go deaf.
Is there ANY way I can force call volume down further on the headphone jack? Hacks, kernels, Xposed modules? I really don't want to be locked out of being able to make calls with earbuds.
All perfect with 4.4.1, skullcandy have a very bad quality earbuds, better buy sennheiser.

The sound quality is great, it's just too damn loud. Same with the earbuds that came with my Galaxy Nexus.
The call volume is ridiculously out of proportion with music volume. That is not the fault of the earbuds. The OS should not be pushing out call volume significantly louder than the music volume at a comparable setting.
OK, so a friendly individual in the Franco thread directed me to this:

I simply used the same instructions for the mod but reduced the number rather than increase it. For call volume, the value that I changed was under path name "voice-headphones". The original setting was 20 and 20 for HPHL and HPHR volume. I turned them down to 05. I thought I heard a reduction from 20 to 10 but did not hear any further reduction from 10 to 05. Then I also tried reducing the RX1 and RX2 digital volume. I tried taking them from 84 down to 64 which was maybe a bit low, so I settled on 70. At that setting, the loudest IVR systems I've reached on the phone are just right at the lowest call volume setting, and I still have room to raise the volume in noisier environments.
Normally people find that the call volume on their phone is very low but mine on the contrary is very loud even if I lower it as much as I can both with the headphone and without it using the headset speaker. Is it possible to lower it by modifying some settings something like the opposite of The sound mod. My phone is rooted so it should be easy right?
I install the sound mod and it still the same so I reinstalled the stock version
The lowest volume setting when using headphones is just slightly too loud for me. I am using Vsonic VSD5S headphones which have an impedance of 45 Ohm. Is there anyway to lower the minimum volume? If possible, I would like to avoid rooting or installing any apps.
Unfortunately, there's not a way without root or installing apps, maybe the next OTA will solve the issue.
You have to root the device to do anything about it.
Have you tried going into the settings of the supplied music player to see if you could alter the audio settings.
Most music apps have preamp of replay gain settings to help this some what, but so far I found all of them suffer from terrible snr at low volume (aside from stock music player). I get around this with an external amp like the fiio e5 which had it's own volume control.
With power amp alpha you can also change the volume steps to 100, that may allow you to go lower than the default volume step can
I don't seem to find a way to adjust the in-call volume to anywhere below the default lowest volume, which is about 10%. I've found this volume to be still quite loud, especially when I'm using in-ear noise cancelling earphone and when the other party is calling from a noisy background.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
I don't think there are any default settings for such an issue. You can try to check Google Play for an App that does just that.
