Does anyone know an app that would boost the volume. It's not very loud stock.

Volume+ works for me. Pay for it though, the +4dB limit in the free version doesnt cut the mustard. I pushed mine up to about 18 -- which makes things nice and loud, but not distorted,

So before I buy, you can confirm that works for your tablet correct? I ask because both free and pay talk about it working on GB. Skimming the notes I didn't see anything about root,so just checking stock rom non root works (for you)

I can confirm that the paid version of Volume+ *does* work on the TF700. Just be careful and don't set it too high or you can blow the speaker!

The free version works on mine too, I can hear the difference in the movies already, will definitely consider buying this app.
So how high should I turn it up without hurting anything? I set it to +8. It is louder but not loud enough.

As long as you don't hear your speakers distorting, you should be fine. But, if you hear distortion, it may be too late as well.... Just be careful. I think I have mine @ +10db, but it really depends on the app - some apps output much louder sounds than others. So you just need to be careful and set the volume low enough when you start an app, and then increase the volume it until it's loud enough...

I use Equalizer and it works great! Love that you can not only boost the volume but shape the sound to your liking. As with all volume boosters, be careful not to blow out your speakers.

I couldn't hear a difference between using this app or not. Same with Volume+

FYI - In order to "activate" Volume+ in ICS after installation, you need to enter Settings->Sounds->Music Effect and select "Volume+" (it stays defaulted to "MusicFX" after installing Volume+, which is the Android sound system).
Once you tell ICS to actually use Volume+, you will definitely hear a difference (not sure about the free version at only +4 DB, but the paid version definitely makes it louder!!).

I used Volume+, boosted to +10 and it made a world of difference for me.

Ahh, that may be my problem.
EDIT: Yes, that allowed me to use Volume+. Now it is perfectly loud, using the Free version and pushing it +4 Db. Any more would be too much for me. Ironically, the only thing I had on my Google Music Cloud (I'm doing a little maintenance with metadata) was some Slayer...and when I hit that +4 button that hurt lol.
THANK YOU!
Sound still not as good as it was on my Tab with its separated speakers but at least its loud enough now!
...sent from Infinity

Nevermind seems like I bought Volume+ too. I bought every app trying to boost my prime hehehe.

I cant wait to try this out. Thats one welcomed improvement. Do you think I can set this up with Equalizer app aswell. I only ask because I have already purchased the Equalizer app. I haven't gotten my replacement infinity yet so I can't try it. Tuesday is so close but yet so far lol.

Agree with that point. The speakers on the Tab 10.1 on opposite sides of the screen are great when watching movies. That's the only flaw that I find with the Infinity. Luckily I got a 'good' one that doesn't have any of the problems that a lot of people are having with the hardware - but I'm also one that can't get the OTA or Unlock tool to work.

I'm a "prospective" Transformer Infinity owner. At this point this is the one I'm looking at.
Here's how I usually get a good bit of extra volume from my devices that have the speaker on the back. I suspect this would help with the Transformer Infinity too. Cuff your hand on the rear side of the device where the speaker is, so your hand is not covering the speaker, but directing the audio towards you instead of away from you.
If I get this pad and feel the need I might try something such as Volume +, but the hand cuff method is effective without any harmful side effects . (I'll probably just end up continuing with the hand cuff method, since I'm so used to doing it :laugh: .)

If you do buy the infinity I can bet money that if your room isn't silent while your watching a movie or listening to music you will buy this app it works well.

Ha, I do this all the time too. I still use Volume+, but the cupped hand to redirect the sound works well too. The even made unpowered docks for some phones that worked on this principle, I think Belkin made one.
Cup method works but watch a movie while doing the cup and its gonna cramp your hand abit.
The speaker is good if your at a desk and the sound bounces off something which I'm never at a desk. I'm always in a chair and the speaker points away.

Hi not sure if been mentioned before but what is that click when starting up from off before the speaker click?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Yes it's mentioned somewhere on the forum, I have it too as do others. Someone said that it's the camera focus mechanism making the sound? I'm not sure.

The one noise you should hear is the camera running through its self initialisation check (probably the shutter). It's not a sound played through the speakers though. And yes it's been mentioned many times.
ive noticed this click too, also had an issue one time where when i was pressing home menu buttons i kept getting an awful hissy clcik sound, reboot seemed to sort it though
Few days back the left speaker's is not working, now both are not working.headphone works fine.Anyone else had similar problem?

My left speaker does not work as well. Considering replacing but I have no light bleed, do not know if it is worth risk.

I have this problem also. My right speaker no long works but the headphone and HDMI works fine.
I think the only thing to do is an RMA at this point??

I'm in the same boat. I got my rma from Asus, but I have no confidence in their ability to support this product. I have to send it to them next week, and I'm sure my feelings about this tablet will turn sour during the wait period to get it back. Since I have no other hardware issues, I'm dreading that my tablet will return to me with a new problem(s). :-(

I think it's software related not hardware. I lost my left speaker too but it's back! I have been flashing Roms all day and clearing user data and all. I never tested the speakers until tonight and both are at default levels (sounds equal on both side). I also flashed the netformer experimental kernel. So I have prime 1.3_us with netformer kernel. Not sure what fixed it but I will monitor it.

This boat is crouded.
I too have the problem with speaker imbalance. When playing music I can watch the speaker output gauge thingy and it does not match what is coming out of the speakers. The right side is definitely louder. Or the left is less loud. I don't know which statement would be correct since I don't know the correct sound output. Apparently this is a common problem. I sent my tf101 for repair after one day of ownership. Mailed yesterday. I will let you know if they fixed the problem. You would think there would be some sort of quality control on this. I guess a lot of units would not pass inspection. Anyone else send theirs in and get it back yet?
After upgrading to 3.2, it seemed that it fixed my speaker unbalance but i noticed that its still louder on the right side. I thought the upgrade was suppose to fix?
my update didn't fix it either, but it sure made it better!
The update did have changes to the .cfg file and did make it better. I did change the gain on my left speaker by 3db and it is great now. See how to to this by a quick search, very easy if you're rooted, a bit more work if not. Cheers.
Im still within the exchange period from Toys r Us. The only issue I have is the speaker. The screen bleed I can live with....Its a B5 series . I wonder if I should exchange it for a B6 and hopefully B7 (but I dont think they will have).
how can you tell if one speaker is lower than the other? I honestly cannot tell the difference when I play movie. Is there any app to test it? Thanks

On mine using this test (youtube) my right speaker was a lil bit louder then the left, but when i listening to music I noticed that the sound is actually coming from the middle (balanced) before the right was always louder then the left.
Hi all! Just got my tf300 and I like it very much although I noticed a strange sound sometimes.
When starting an app a "whining" sound comes from "the left lower corner" but when I get back to the homescreen It goes away.
I thought maybe it's from the "harddrive" or something.
Could smebody check this on their tf300's and report back (You really have to listen quite close)
Thanks!

My tf300tg has very similar issue, strange sound(like electric), I thought it's made by internal storage. Sound comes after some time after it's fully charged. If I go to homescreen it goes away
This topic is quite old but I also realized that its the flash memory and it also goes away when getting back to homescreen

yea i got the same thing on my tf300t but i am quite sure it comes from the dock, if you press the bottom against your ear (where you connect the power cable) you can hear the buzzing. Im guessing it caused by capacitors? If anyone got a fix i would love to hear it as it tend to annoy me a bit
I'm considering sending my tf201 prime back and getting the infinity. An issue I had with the prime was the low speaker volume, especially in Skype. How does the infinity speaker volume compare?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
You will still want to use volume+ from the Google market. There are a few threads on this topic of volume which give you more info.
Thanks. I already use a similar app on the prime and it's still not really enough. From what you say, there doesn't seem to be a real improvement with the infinity if an app is still required.
I did do a search but got no results using the XDA app.

Speaker has never been great on any one of the series 201, 700, etc. Speaker should always be in the front from a design perspective imo.
However, yes it is still pretty quiet.
