Hey guys,
Im looking for a volume booster since i listen to music on my phone everyday, i tried Audio Hack
but seems not to work on my Evo (its unrevoked rooted, if that helps) let me know if anyone can help me out. I need volume like the iphone!! Love my Evo tho.
JBlaze -- Evo 4G
Just wanted to bump this. The past several days have afforded me the chance to stream music on my evo from xm at work, and could for sure use just a little more volume to hear it over the noise of my workplace.

Volume for music seems pretty loud for me if the phone is close to you. Isn't anyone worried about damaging the speaker? My previous phone after a year the sound quality for music sucked and I didn't even use it that much..Had to get a replacement and really noticed a difference. I'm afraid I'm going to damage the speaker over time just having the volume up all the way without an audio boost hack.
I actually would love to boost the headphone volume.
It's fine most of the time, but when I'm on the train it can be difficult to hear even when I have the headphone volume at full.
agreed, the volume out of the headset seems pretty low especially when in a loud area

Seems to me this is probably more of an issue with the particular headset you are using. The EVO gets pretty loud on my headset.
There's an ear piece volume boost in nentarchy's kernel. I'm actually going to flash to latest one he just released cause once you go too high, things get distorted. He lowered it a bit supposedly in the new release.

i can say that the iphone headphones are lower in volume compared to my sony headphones by far. not touching the volume and just switch headsets i have to lower the volume on the sony's..... the sony headset are true stereo headphones and not for phones as they do not have a mic.
is there any way to make the rings louder? i remember there was a hack to make the touch pro louder and i wish there was something to make the evo louder everything is perfect except that i rarely hear my phone as its always in my pocket ive even make the quality higher on ,my ringtones and its still the same...

we would be nice if someone would reply to this thread with an idea or a fix for this as i would be interested because my speaker volume is too low i had in idea of hex editing any comments on this idea would be nice
Well i use always semi professional headphones, since, to me, common ones suck to no end (professionals are way to expensive through). If I put the sound on the maximun or one level down, sounds good on normal musics (CD base decibels). Non normalized files (lower volume) become pratically inaudible. This happens also with the speaker.
I dont want to continuously have a 12 inch speakr on my EVO, i just want to listen in a heatly safe - good volume without put on max and up when file have a lower volume. XD
Seems fine to me with the included headphones... Not sure if using PowerAmp while listening to my albums is making a difference but volume seems about right foe r me...
how about without Headphones the volume is still not loud without them...no problem with headphones on
Guy, the problem has to do with more than the Evo. If your impedance level is high with the headphones you are using then the Evo cant drive them. Ultimately any 'hack' is just going to cause distortion at high levels. You need to get some sort of amp. I suggest CMOY.

things i can recommend. IF you are rooted.
1.BEFORE TRYING THE FOLLOWING DO A LOT OF READING. IT HELPS.
2. try an alternate kernel..... either netarchy toastod or ziggy. they have audio
tweaks built into them.
3. dsp manager. allows you to tweak audio further.

has anyone else noticed that the in-call volume is really loud, even at the lowest level? I have mine turned all the way down, but i can almost hear the speaker buzz because the volume is so boomy.
If anyone else has this issue, does anyone have a fix?
I admit that the sound volume is a b it high at times... but then again the HOS has really great audio for the size of the speakers...
It is loud on ocassion, like speaker phone is on
I find the speaker audio tinny/hollow--but acceptable
However, should be better for a cutting edge 600.00 phone with highly advertised beats audio and media monster--
Does any one have very low volumes during calls ? I have set the incall volume to max and also rebooted a couple of times ... but I still feel the volume is pretty low ..
Yep. I made a thread about this. Most calls are ok. Some aren't loud enough.
Sometimes I have noticed if you hit the volume up button sometimes it won't change volume lvl. But if I hit the volume down first then up it helps. Kinda weird bug if you ask me

The thinner they make these phones these days the worse the speakers seem to be that they use in them. Whether it be the earphone or bottom speaker on the rear that they use both are bad.
Differently from others who find that headphones volume is low, I think that what is really low is the speaker volume.
Using, or should I say trying to use, this phone for a call inside a car using the speaker is impossible... the volume is too low and the car noise, even at lower speeds will be higher.
Is there a way to increase the volume without changing kernel or rom? Maybe some system option like the one that can be used on ATT LG G2.
Thanks.

There is currently no system boost. I have to say when the phone was delivered I hated everything in the sound department with the Nexus 5. The volume is erratic my 5 year old daughter loves nextflix and the playback is so quiet even she was like where's is the volume boost. I am sure there will be a software fix by developers or google soon, well I hope so.
Hi of you use volume + this works to increase the sound always

Hello.
I've gotten pretty frustrated with using my 3a for a while now regarding this specific issue, the call volume is just always super low and makes using the default phone app unbearable because I can hardly hear the other person, it is ALWAYS at max volume btw.
I just genuinely do not understand why the call volume is so low whilst the other volumes (media, alarms, etc) don't seem to have this issue and I can even get additional apps to boost the volume for those- but not the call volume.
It seems to have gotten worse just several days ago when some liquid hit the grill , so now instead of it sounding like someone is 3 feet away from the phone, it just sounds like 6 feet away. But even with this situation, it did NOTHING to my other volume settings.
Is there anything I can do to improve the loudness at all without depending on headphones? I would prefer having the phone on my ear , especially since calls on headphones literally echo whatever gets picked up on my microphone back to me I just honestly hate it.
Get a replacement phone. That's not normal. My call volume gets loud.

Is that really the only possible solution here...?
Everything else is fine...I just cannot find a way to make the call volume louder, just seems like Im stuck putting it on speakers or using headphones at the moment.
