TF700's weak sound

Hello TF700 users.
I have my pad for about 2 weeks and I start to feel that it has very weak sound. Volume is always on max...
I compared it with iPad 2... so iPad was twice louder... even old HTC desire phone sounded more powerful for me.
I would like to know if anybody has similar observations?

Yes. Volume from the TF700 is fairly low. Then again, I'm not expecting much volume from something with such small speakers, neither in quality nor volume.
If you want proper sound use headphones. Or some small external speakers. That goes for pretty much all mobile / portable devices in my opinion.

"just" root your device and use the free Volume+ app: http://androidaudiohacks.com/?page_id=16
Then it's loud enough

Anybody know how the volume in T700 compares with TF300?

If you need audio boost without rooting, you can purchase AudioMasterPro from the Market (an equalizer app) and then push all the eq sliders to maximum and this just about doubles your volume. I use this on the TF300 (where it works very well) and excite 7.7 which has notoriously low volume. Just be careful, because too much output can easily distort or damage tiny speakers. So if you hear any rattling or distortion back off on the volume.
Only drawback is that the app doesn't auto-start and you have to turn it on manually and insure the sliders are set to maxium from time to time if you re-boot or it gets terminated accidently.
I suppose any other eq app that one might already have could be used in the same way just slide all the sliders to the top - or if it has a gain/preamp setting slide that to max.
Disclaimer: haven't tried it on a TF700 but can't see any reason why it wouldn't work - also its a paid app so if it doesn't work for you (use the trial first) I'm not resonsible!

[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.

[Q] Skyrocket Low Earpiece Volume Question

My Skyrocket has always had low earpiece volume. It sounds normal until I get in a noisy environment, then I have to press my ear totally against the phone which barely helps. My wife's Galaxy s2 i777 has louder volume and doesn't have this problem. I have tried all the available roms for my device to no avail. Is this normal for this phone, and if so, is there anything I can do to fix this problem? Any app that will work? I love this phone as it meets all my needs except for the volume. Thanks for your help!
edit: i bought this phones 2 months ago from Ebay. I researched it before i bought it, but the main issues others had with the skyrocket was the battery life with LTE. Well, the battery life has been great after custom rom, But the volume is terrible. I first thought i was sold a defective phone but then i found out that others had the same problem, but no solutions. Even all the volume boosts apps that work on other phones (for reasons WAY above my pay grade) do not work on our skyrocket.

...Anybody?... I know this problem of low earpiece volume is common with the skyrocket and has been brought up on many different forums, but I have not found anyone who has found a way to resolve the problem. Any help or direction would be appreciated. This trouble exist with both stock and custom roms.

still no answers?...sigh...

Well, I have replaced the earspeaker and the problem still persists. To clarify, the speaker is not as low as it was when Beanstalk 4.4 was going thru its growing pains and the volume level dropped after one of the builds a month or so ago. It is just that standing outside with normal outdoor sounds (occasional traffic, birds tweeting, outdoor noises) ihave to hold my ear directly against the speaker. I dont have that problem with my wife's s2 i777

Well, a month has passed with no replies. I have found that the volume level is good when using a headset to answer calls, so I have resorted to trying to be sure to carry earbuds with me. On the rare occasion that I dont have earbuds are the days I dread having this phone. As I us my phone for work, I need it to work as a phone first, and a smartphone secondary. As I stated before, I love the features of this phone, but there has to be a workaround for the volume levels. Maybe I'm just getting old and you young folks dont use the phone to actually speak to each other. Woah! Who let my dad in the room?!!? Anyway, Still looking for help. I am not asking which rom is better than another, but are there any roms that have louder volume levels? I have tried many here including Beanstalk, Dirty Unicorns, Liquid Smooth, Sultans CM 11...

Bean Stalk comes with am app called DSP manager which helps control volumes for bluetooth headsets. Give that a shot. It may just be your headset

The headset isn't the problem. The phone sounds great thru all the headsets that I have tried and thru the loudspeaker. The low volume level is when I am not using the headset and actually have to place my ear up to the phone(earpiece speaker). Its usable in normal areas, such as inside a room, but standing outside with normal background sounds like nature and light road traffic, I can barely hear the caller. I have to press my ear against the phone pretty hard, which usually ends up with accidental button presses and hangups.

Oh i understand, yes I have had that same issue which is why i bought a blue tooth headset.... Not sure if programming can do anything about the internal speaker.

Yeah, I was kinda hoping that maybe somebody discovered something that solve this. I don't know anything about programming, but I was thinking that back when beanstalk had those troubles with extra low volume, it was eventually fixed. And since he was able to boost the volume back to correct levels maybe it could be boosted just a little bit more. Or Since DSP works with bluetooth speakers and headphones and external speakers it seems like it would be easy to make it boost the earpiece volume. But I know that it is NOT easy...it may be impossible. If it was easy then there would have been a fix long ago. But a man can hope, can't he?

Android Volume Too Low?

Hello everyone, i own a Galaxy Note N5100 and i notice that its volume (mainly speaking for headphones) is too low, it doesn't compare to any other devices that i used for music. And i suppose this is not a problem only with the N5100, my older Galaxy S3 also had this problem.
Feels like the volume is capped at 1/4 of what it supposed to be able to get. I wonder what makes the android sound volumes being so low and also what could i make to possibly fix this? I know that those popular apps from the playstore doesnt do the job very well. Is there any way i can mod this phone to fix this? Maybe it could be something ROM related?
Anyway thanks for reading

Low volume with Airpods Pro

Started using my new Airpods Pro on my Pixel 3 yesterday and I have to crank the volume to get it to a decent level. Enabling/disabling absolute volume makes no difference. All the other suggestions I'm finding seem to pertain to earlier versions of Android (I'm on 10), as there doesn't seem to be any setting for Media Volume Sync or separate bluetooth volume control. Any suggestions?

Sony WF-1000x work great. Other than that, sorry can't be of much help.
