Volume was never much to write home about, but following latest update, I rooted the phone again since the update seemed to cancel out the root,
and my volume on SMS and ringer are less than half strength. I need very strong volume where I work.
I have Volume + but it doesn't seem to work on this phone. All Volume adjustments do nothing.
Any suggestions? I haven't tried a ROM yet. I am considering DK, but have never uploaded a ROM before
Any help would be appreciated!
Try downloading AudioManager from the Play Store. Works for me.

I'm looking to over-ride the existing audio settings. That app doesn't do that.
Is there an app that does over ride the stock settings and can overdrive the audio? I realize I'll have distortion, but right now I can't hear anything so it's better than missing calls.
Thanks again in advance.

There's an option in call settings for "Hearing aids" that says it'll bump up in-call volume. Haven't used it yet, so I don't know how well it works.
Granted I'm guessing it's -only- for phone calls, so for music/video playback I don't have an answer for you unfortunately.
Do you mean the speaker is as low as other HTC?
I thought it will be better than DHD and N1...
volume sucks
Low volume is one of the issues that bugs me with Sensation. The ring volume is low even at max and volume trough headphones is way too low.
This needs to be addressed by HTC ASAP in their new ROM.
The Stock music app has a feature called "SRS enhancement" It helps with the sound quality tremendously! It can be used either while listening to music or with the stock video player.
I've had good results from an app called Equalizer.
I changed the hearing aids setting and it has helped a lot for calls.

The "hearing aid" option does help out with the volume not just for calls but all other audio output as well. I guess I must be hard of hearing (by HTC's standards) because I really don't understand why the phone had such a low volume setting to begin with.
Well let's hope the Volume+ developer get it to work with the Sensation. I Just send him an email....
Hearing Aid is annoying because it doesn't help with speakerphone AND you can't lower the volume!
I installed volume+ today and it makes huge difference in sound quality
I think it is now supportable to HTC sensation
Thanks to its developer

This app seems to be solving the issue with a low volume notification speaker. I find that the VR settings works the best and I notice a SIGNIFICANT difference.

What are the appropriate settings? Like an average level boost?
I'm playing with it now. So far VR just gives a super tinny distorted sound. My preference for speaker is EQ on treble boost, bass enhance on +4 and volume level @ +8 for SRS. For ringtones I have it set to eq=goodquality, bassenhance=+3 and Volume=+8.
Stock ringtones don't require any fine tuning and sound pretty good regardless of setting but if you use music files with vocals you're not gonna be happy without playing around to find your preference. You're going to want to keep bass low no matter what with this speaker.
I haven't messed with the settings beneath that which seem to be fine tuning eq controls.
Link for those who had to go look for it. (Like I did)

Not warez. Volume+ is free on the dev's website, it supposedly has less features than the market version...

I saw that option as well, but I figured I'd pay for it if it worked, which it does...well.
I have no problems paying for it. The dev worked hard to get this working and out on the market for us impatient hard hearing owners lol....
Oh ok, my mistake.
Ya this worked really well, i d/l the app from the site but ill go and buy this. Really big improvement when using speaker phone and on a call.

Can someone post the best setting for speaker phone volume for this app
still playing with the settings but works great so far.
I can't say that this works for speakerphone. I see the sound differences when playing music and ringtones but there is absolutely no difference on a call.
When on a call in speakerphone, try turning bass up and down, volume up and down etc. You will see it doesn't respond to anything.

Just wait for the volume mod from the evo3d to get released for the sensation. Unlocking may come first though.
The download file is a ZIP file and there is no apk in there. Can someone please guide me on how to install Volume+

Just rename the zip file from zip to apk.(VolumePlus1.7.0.zip to
VolumePlus1.7.0.apk)
Awesome Thanks, works like a charm now.

perhaps the developer got a wind of it and changed it but I just downloaded it and it's a APK file.

I have to disagree. My wake alarm which uses the speakerphone was pretty low as the app setting was to read on loud. After upping the speaker and headset settings to the max volume, it wasn't bazooka tube loud thump but it was loud enough to wake me up .
Apparently Volume+ doesn't work with Jelly Bean - Anyone found a replacement? I hear the dev is working on a version that will work with JB, but need something in the interim. So quiet!

Yes, the sound is nearly unusable for watching movies on an airplane with headphones. And the built in speaker has a really hard time filling a quiet room :S
There's a lot of apps that can boost the media volume, including Volume+. I think the problem with Volume+ on JB I'd that it doesn't boost the phone call volume, which probably isn't a problem for most tab users...
Volume+ seems like it is working for me.
Volume+ was the culprit of multiple reboots on my device. Everytime i would play a movie or listen to music, the device would reboot. I didnt figure this out until recently. I uninstalled volume+ last weekend and my tablet hasnt rebooted one time.

I'm using Music Volume to make the sound loud enough for .mkv movies. (click on the EQ button and slide all sliders to the top.) Note, you have to "long press" the close button to actually exit or stop the program as it runs in the background normally.
Then I use Volume In Notification so I can control the voulme from the notification bar, ... duh , during movies or anytime without exiting an application.
Anyone know of a fix? My volume won't lower while playing music through the app. Works fine in any other situation.

So when you hit the volume buttons does the ringer volume change instead of the music volume? Or does nothing happen?
Are you running stock, stock with xposed modules or a ROM?
Are you trying to play through the phone speaker, headphones or bluetooth? And have you tried another option and does the issue still occur?

It's defaulted to media volume (via xposed and gravity box), but before that it would still show the media volume while in the app and never adjust. I've tried Paranoid Android, stock with xposed, and stock after a complete re-image. CyanogenMod seemed to be immune from this issue, or maybe I never tested it.
Bluetooth works fine, headphones untested (I'm at work at the moment), so the speaker is my main issue. All other media apps work fine. I managed to fix it once by toggling the volume in the YouTube app, then switching back to Music and it worked. That trick hasn't work since. Also, the volume meter does move, it just keeps it at max volume regardless.

Hi,
Is there an app/other method I can use to make audio play in the phone's earpiece speaker? For things like playing music files, not just for routing a VOIP call for a specific app.
I have a rooted Nexus 5 running 4.4.4 KitKat.
Thanks
There is an app called earpiece that does exactly what you all for in the play store. Works flawlessly.

Thanks for the fast reply
I tried the Earpiece app and it works but i noticed there's no way to adjust the volume of the earpiece speaker. I tried adjusting the normal volume as well as the ringer volume. Does anyone know a way to adjust the volume using this app?
Edit: The volume changing works. I tested the apps functionality in the youtube app at the time of the post. I restarted and tried it with the stock music player and it worked great.
Hmm, it seems you are right. I last remember it working perfectly but it seems that now volume control doesn't work for me either. My apologies, this is the only solution I have. Hopefully someone else will be able to offer some advice.
