[REQ] [MOD] headphone volume boost?

I am not sure if i'm putting this in the right category but i figured since this is where the kernel development goes on it would be the best place.
I don't know about anyone else, but i use my phone as an all in one media device, and my main concern is the audio volume that comes out of the auxillary jack. I have tried 3 different ROMs and a few kernels including stock, and when my Inspire's media volume is maxed out playing through my car stereo it doesn't even come close to the volume output of my nexus s and captivate, much less my iPhone. The closest i have been able to get in better audio quality/volume comes from CM7, i am guessing because it is sourced off of AOSP. Even that is at least a notch or two under my cappy, and it makes a big difference.
I was wondering if there is anyway to make a kernel/ROM adjustment to boost the AUX volume output, NOT the phone external speaker.
Gladly willing to donate to a project for this.

Yes, please, I would love this, I use my phone to listen to music in my car and it's incredibly low, only when I turn my car's speakers to max is it at a normal volume... I would love this mod.

Download an app called volume boost.

Been there done that, it boosts the volume but outputs through AUX in mono. Doesnt work too well in my STEREO headphones or car STEREO

I know in CM7 that you can use DSP Manager to boost volume for just headset. Just increase the EQ evenly across the full range.

^^^ I recommend this as well. It works great.

I will try the dsp suggestion. I was just curious if we could figure out a solution for sense roms as well.

There has to be a better way to make this thing loud. I was irritated with how quiet my Rhodium was and this device is even worse. In Rhodium Land I procured a .cab that made my Rhodium obnoxiously loud at full volume. I want some of that.

To touch on the DSP resolution, it did not work. It boosted the power output yes, but distorted the clarity to an unusable extent.
Unfortunately a mod moved this thread because even though it is a development discussion, it seems they aren't enthusiastic enough to support this mod.
I'm offering at least 15$ for this fix..

Low Volume Output
I have just gotten a HTC Inspire 4G, and it's not hard to see that the volume output is doubtfully low compared to most other devices such as an iPhone. I have tried all the suggestions in this thread but none seem to work for a high volume output into a stereo,headphones,are any other jack devies. The EQ seemed to be a good idea I prefer to use my equalizer to sustain a better music experience. So overall I think there should be a mod or a tweak to increase volume output level.

A volume increase, or fix is definitely needed. This phone is too quiet.

There's a fix!
Root your phone and flash Revolution ROM v3.5. I just got back from cranking out Pandora on my car radio and the sound is great!

Check my sense Rom thread there is 2 beta kernels I just compiled with speed tweaks and volume boosts across both speakers and headphones(should in turn boost aux output levels as well). It's LOUD, to the point I can no longer listen to music at full volume. I still need to make some fine tuning adjustments, but I think I'm gonna try dsp manager to help even further. Some libs have to be replaced for dsp manager to work with sense roms, but with the sound boost alone, quality still seems to be pretty good with no distortion(that I heard anyway), and with this and dsp manager, it should be a pretty good fix.
I need feedback so I know what has to be fixed(or not fixed...too loud?, distortion?, etc)
Note these are froyo inspire kernels

It has to be whatever ROM you all are using... I took the exact same songs on CD -vs- my phone, and volume is the same, clean across the board.
No issues here at all.
Then again, I am VERY sensitive about my music and won't touch it unless it has a high bit rate. I also run volume leveling software on all of my music too. That way one song isn't terribly louder than the previous.

I'd really like this, my truck stereo isn't loud enough with the inspire at max volume. I don't want to change ROMs to fix this because every ROM other than what I'm running had some problem I couldn't stomach. However, while I briefly had CM7, it did boost the volume significantly.

Its already done as I posted. Flash the kernel from my (sense rom)thread(you'll have to search for it, but its there. Its stable, fast, and the volume is LOUD.(froyo kernel)

Earpiece Speaker volume?

Anyway to make this louder I mean seriously its suppose to be a good phone before anything else I just find it wierd how the speaker on this thing I know can be good at times but sometimes its way to low.With no way of making it louder is it a hardware?Software? Problem really wanna know if im ever able to make it louder

You know about the Voodoo Sound?

Yes but im talking about the speaker you listen to when you speak to people dont think voodoo effects it

Oh ok, I misunderstood your question.
As you are talking with people, you can press your volume control button upwards to increase the volume. If you have done that and it still sounds soft to you, I do not know what else can help. Might want to ask a developer if there is any way to increase it via software like voodoo sound.

ya I hope so damn

At one point Supercurio said he would eventually add an audio boost for the ear speaker. I'm definitely missing the audio boost from the N1. Phone calls with even moderately loud ambient noise are frustrating at best.

Good news to hear if he does it

[Q] increase volume speaker

hi, i have a desire s from june, this year, and I constantly looking for something, hardware, software, new rom, to increase speaker volume wich is realy low. when I'm outside and I want to listen something on youtube or my phone ring, it's very low sound, very low, there is any solution to increase speaker volume, media volume? I don't trust that little software on the market, because they are for headset, or just for music,mp3,etc, I want something for ringer and video, thank you

I think nothing is good for Change the loudness from your speaker.... Maybe with the cyanogenmod you can Change your equalizer

use volume+
check the android market for this app.
this app really rocks! It increases the sound of your external speakers. There's an option to chose on how loud would you want it to be. Be careful though, because it might bust your speakers!. 6 is loud enough and I think is just right without damaging your speakers.
Not sure though on it's rom compatibility. I'm currently on Endymion 3.0 and it works fine here. Also, I was able to test it on MIUI rom and it works flawlessly

Thank you guys for the answers, I arleady have volume+ splication, the free one with 4 level, but noting louder for my speaker and I tryed few roms till now , so I i guess I'm to exigent

I use the equaliser app and it definitely increases the volume by a fair bit. Try it.

[Q] which sound booster app do you use

i have seen several, tried them, am very underwhelmed with any of them, i use headphones and the Infuse is too quiet
Any suggestions?

voodoo control will get you 5db+ on the hardware end. if you don't have a voodoo kernel then get voodoo control plus which includes a module with the driver.
since voodoo sound works on a hardware level you might be able of use it with another audio booster app.
if. volume still doesn't blow you away then get more efficient headphones. some of the xeers headphones from Germany available on eBay have very high efficiency, only downfall of xeers headphones is the driver has flex so it may give a crinkling noise when you put them in after they break in. I have the td3 blacks and for rock music they are the best, not really an iem because they color the sound too much to qualify as a monitor but they are loud and sound great on music that you want to hear loud.

I use Voo Doo Control with Klipsch s4i's personally. Sound great.. got them because I once owned an iPod touch...Yeah........ But the play pause button works with the last media player that was added onto the device. Always works for pausing though. Just not always.. playing again. ): It works for ending calls and then the music starts back up that's nice. Sorry to make this more about the headphones than the app. But I agree with Dani. I like Voo Doo control. I like the options that it has for when you plug and unplug your headset. Like watching how loud the volume is. THAT IS DANDY.

Voodoo sound ftw
Froggys go ribbet

Voodoo Control definitely

This is by far the way to go.

[Q] Low Volume issue

Hi,
The volume of my Galaxy Note n8000 is too low. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

Easy, install volume+ app. It will increase the volume as much as you desire. Be careful though, several reports of people blowing their speakers, on other devices, from them carelessly increasing volume like crazy..lmao

I use speaker boost

My note is nice and loud and II really haven't seen too many, if any, posts about volume issues. Couple be a possible bad unit. I'd try going down to a Best Buy to seem how one of the floor models compare.

Thanks for the replies everyone
Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the replies everyone. My galaxy note tab sounds fine in normal situations, but in really noisy environments it hardly audible. So i dont think there is any problem with the device. I installed the equalizer app and the volume has definitely become louder though it reduces the audio quality.

Does anyone on these sound boost apps works on JB?

Volume+ works great on JB. I have it installed on my Nexus 7 running the latest build of JB. Which is 4.1.2. Also have it installed on my note. Volume already sounded loud but I wanted it a little bit louder. Works great and didn't decrease the sound quality at all for me.
Another tip, if you don't want to use an 3rd party app, is to go into music player. Then open up settings. It has different sound profiles you can change to make it sound better to your liking. I keep it on auto for me.
