I am listening to streaming radio and transferring the sound to my bluetooth headset, but often even with headset, media player, and physical system volume turned up to maximum, it is barely audible.
Is there any app that works on the WM6 Touch/Vogue that will increase the overall system volume, rather than the call-talking volume, so that things like music and streaming radio can be made louder than the default maximum? Boost it higher than the built-in level?
Thanks...
Hi, while I try to use headphone to listen mp3, it's alway not loud enough even I put the system volume to the max. It is any other way to boost the volume to make it louder thought my headphone, the one go from 2.5mm audio jack.
I couldn't find anything about how to make the headphone louder, not thought bt headphone.
Furthermore, is it tools to control the volume for different applications. I think it would be very handy if we can have different volume setting for different applications, say, I alway have to adjust the volume of my windows media player to max, and if I'm using sip phone, I have to change to another setting, and another setting for my reminder in order not to scare others.
Does anyone know of a workaround or app that can lower the lowest setting of the default htc music app? Even at the lowest volume, i think its too loud for my ears (i would like to preserve my good hearing till im old ). I have noise cancelling headphones and dont need it that loud. I wish we had volume control like an ipod.
Could Volume+ do it?
So I only noticed just now the Nexus 5 did not come with any earbuds. I have been using some cheap Skullcandy earbuds for music and they are decent enough to block out transit noise and play music at a moderate volume. However when I try making a phone call, at the lowest volume the sound is just ridiculously loud. It is painful for me to attempt to listen to more then 10-15 seconds of call audio wearing these. I also tried with my Galaxy Nexus earbuds, and it's the same story.
Has anyone found a pair of earbuds with mic that delivers gentle, quiet call audio at the lowest call volume of the Nexus 5 on stock ROM? Failing that, is there anything I can do to decrease the headset call volume further than the volume control will allow?
Bump, anyone else experiencing this? It shouldn't be deafening to make a phone call with earbuds...
OK I'm going to bump this again. It got WAY worse on 4.4.1. While I appreciate the volume boost for the phone's speaker, the earbud volume situation is out of control. The lowest volume setting on music, in a quiet room, is the loudest I can tolerate on earbuds - no option of turning it down lower. The lowest volume setting on phone calls is earth-shattering on earbuds - completely unusable for conversations unless I want to go deaf.
Is there ANY way I can force call volume down further on the headphone jack? Hacks, kernels, Xposed modules? I really don't want to be locked out of being able to make calls with earbuds.
All perfect with 4.4.1, skullcandy have a very bad quality earbuds, better buy sennheiser.

The sound quality is great, it's just too damn loud. Same with the earbuds that came with my Galaxy Nexus.
The call volume is ridiculously out of proportion with music volume. That is not the fault of the earbuds. The OS should not be pushing out call volume significantly louder than the music volume at a comparable setting.
OK, so a friendly individual in the Franco thread directed me to this:

I simply used the same instructions for the mod but reduced the number rather than increase it. For call volume, the value that I changed was under path name "voice-headphones". The original setting was 20 and 20 for HPHL and HPHR volume. I turned them down to 05. I thought I heard a reduction from 20 to 10 but did not hear any further reduction from 10 to 05. Then I also tried reducing the RX1 and RX2 digital volume. I tried taking them from 84 down to 64 which was maybe a bit low, so I settled on 70. At that setting, the loudest IVR systems I've reached on the phone are just right at the lowest call volume setting, and I still have room to raise the volume in noisier environments.
Hi all, first post here so please be gentle. I have a bluetooth speaker (Braven Ready Elite) that I use in a loud environment to listen to music and sometimes movies. I use the MX player app to watch the movies and am able to get the volume much louder when I use the boost volume option in the MX player app. In order for volume boost to work, I had to change the decoder from HW decoder to either HW+ decoder or SW Decoder in the app settings. It works excellent. I am very happy with the boost in volume for my speaker. For music, I use Spotify. I would like to have some sort of booster to make the music louder on my speaker. The best I can do is disable the EQ in the Spotify app and the speaker will go louder, but not nearly as loud as the movies in the MX player app when I enable the volume booster in the app. I have tried many volume booster apps but I think those are more for the speaker on the phone to go louder. I don't need that. I would like something comparable to the volume booster that is in the MX player that makes my bluetooth speaker go much louder. My phone is a Google Pixel. It is not rooted and would like to avoid doing so. Sorry for the long post but I think I've explained what need help with. Any help would be appreciated.
