Speaker Volume on S-off sensation

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.

We think alike.

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??!

Volume + added nothing for my 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

Its maybe 5% louder with the app..
no other idea? ):

Have you found a solution for this? I'm searching as well.... the apps are 100% useless, it's not worth the 1-3% increase.

The apps dont make a difference on the earphone.

try dsp manager - working very well on mine.
Almost to loud now
do a search for the apk

+1 for DSP Manager. It is working very well for me. Like Warlock said, almost too loud at times now.

[info] Beats Audio ... Fake optimisation..

Hi all !
I just post here to talk about ( again ? ) Beats audio.
After Many tests on many roms ( Beats / No Beats ) the results are here :
Take a 2.3.4 Without Beats audio Audio quality is really fine !
even in Bleutooth A2DP, Stereo Headsets or in speaker-mode.
Now with a 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 With Beats audio :
Audio is crappy With HTC Player in speaker-mode and A2DP.
When you plug headsets it enable beats then you have a nice quality but very very close to stock 2.3.4 without Beats.....
BTW you can listen to Music on deezer or spotify your have a nice quality without any probleme in A2DP or speakermode or Stereo-headsets.
What do you think about it ?
Best regards all !

I already said this. When u have beats kn the phone, htc makes the regular sound sojnd ****ty, and enable beats, and it raises it to a little better than nornal

You can't enable Beats in A2DP....

Is there a way to have both beats and the original equalizer??
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

It's a gimmick. CM7's DSP Manager is better, imo.

I prefer using Poweramp and its equalizer presets. Sounds great!

But I really like the HTC equaliser .. DSP manager somtimes creates overload in my music.. and power amp has a unpolished ui..

Beats is made for beats, not other headphones. K? Got it? Cool. Stop *****ing.

I personally quite like the difference Beats makes with the stock earbuds, maybe that's just me
It seems to pull the sound "forwards", if that makes sense, and gives it a slightly richer sound. Yeah, CM7's equalizer probably does just as well, but I'm not on CM7 yet.

I personally find that beats is much better for my ears than CM7 + DSP on my non stock reference bud phones.
CM7 is alpha state and not quite ready for prime time... there are audio artifacts still in there so the sound quality isn't quite clean as yet... but it will get there.
ver8 is much better than ver7
Overall however, The CURRENT audio quality for CM7 is horrible and i listen to a lot of classical music... for example: violin plucking and bowing sound terrible on CM7 but sound quite decent on Beats... that is quite a shame as Beats isn't much more than an EQ tuning for the Beats headset... and i am not using Beats headsets im using expensive Reference buds.
Right now I am looking for a better EQ app on market to replace beats as it does have its short comings as well.

Poweramp sounds better than beats but its ui is garbage to me
Sent by my feau gee

Here's my opinion on this whole beats fiasco.
All beats focus on is BASS. The more the better. It smallens the sound stage, which is why some feel like it's "closer"
DSP manager is not tuned for you. You tune it yourself, as music is subjective to each person. I might like bass, but you might not. So tune it yourself.
Think of DSP as cookie dough and Beats as ready baked cookies. Some like ready baked cookies, but some want to fine tune it themselves, adding chocolate or ****.
All in all, I HATE beats. It's nothing but a marketing scheme to me.

Yes, at one hand it's maketing. And it's working. There are options with better sound. But, if you like bass based music, Dr Dre's sound is quiet good. The Beats headphones are strong, at least I like the cable. It's a better headphone with a smaller range of happy users.
I like bass music a lot!

Plus one fukin thousand people on this forum are such haters. At the end of the day ....
Stock sensation: my dhd with srs sounded WAY better
Sensation xe: best audio quality on any phone I've tried, it makes so much difference.
P.s I listen to music about 2/3 hours a day and I use beats studios so I can deffo tell the difference.
Oh and don't criticize beats on 3.5 Rom because we haven't got a proper port, the mods we got sound nothing like native beats on xe.

Its impossible. Music depends on the person listening to it. Why so you think there are so many headphone manufacturers out there? What works for you might not work for him. You can't benchmark a headphone.

My fault fellas, I should have mentioned what Rom I'm on. I have been using this mod on JB Roms. I'm currently on Linaro 4.1.2 JB v.17. The first version is what I'm using no need to deal with changing build prop. Just how I like it nice and simple, Flash Awesome beats than install Noozxiode from the market, I also control sound with noozxiode. Awesome beats is the first DL from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992553. Same link from my first post but this is the first page.

Flashing the awesome beats gives better sound then just noozxoide alone, but I don't do anything with the awesome beats. Control the effects with noozxoide. Here's some ss

Anyone know why mods like this don't work with Poweramp? The only reason I'm still using Sense-based ROM's is because nothing works with Poweramp. I really want to make the final move over to Jelly Bean but I like the SRS, Dolby and Beats enhancements you can get for Sense ROMs.

Something to do with the way in which poweramp handles audio threads, idk much about it tbh, it never bugged me enough to investigate...
Maybe it might be worth you doing a few google searches and see if it comes up with anything

Thanks for your reply!
Haha I have done in the past and it mostly throws up people replying to audio mods for various devices claiming they do and do not work with Poweramp. I have found that Dolby Mobile should work on newer JB ROMs, now I just need SRS and Beats too I wouldn't mind if they worked with another player that wasnt Poweramp, but sometimes its hard to tell if you can't turn them on/off on the fly like you can with Poweramp.
