AT&T ONE X speakers not loud with CM10 ROM - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I have flashed a few ROMs on my ONE X and the one that I like the most is the one that is pissing me off the most. None of the speakers are very loud with CM10 stable or nightly, even the audio jack output is low. I have tried audio management apps and no luck. how can I boost the volume the audio on the whole phone?

[Q] Music quality issue "NO BASS"

I recently got my SGS I9000 international version with Froyo 2.2 pre-installed. when I plugged in ear-phones which came with it, the music quality was Okay but it was lacking bass so I tried changing settings, equalizer, effects, 5.1 Ch everything but nothing enhanced Bass.
I use Power AMP on my other android phone(LG P500) and when I installed same on SGS and increased bass, sound distortion was very high and output was bad and it couldn't produce bass however with same settings sound is great on my LG P500.
I have tried many headsets ans even external amplifier but no good.
Please Help! How can I fix this!
Where did you find an equalizer?
Dont know if you want to go down this route or know how to do this...go and look in the dev section...flash voodoo kernel 5.1 sound fix will sort your problem out....such a massive difference.

Thanks Rixsta
I am wondering if its a hardware issue or software as I have googled a lot about it and didn't fine anyone else complaining for same issue so is it only with my device?
An it would be difficult for me to go for flashing or porting ROMs etc. as I don't want to loose warranty.
Can you or someone from XDA tell me that what is the exact issue with sound? or can someone please install Power AMP and check the sound increasing Bass?
Thanks in advanced!
Voodoo Sound.
just for reference
I did not make any MOD to my phone, and the stock BASS / SUB / BASE sound is very good, even when i stream over BLUETOOTH to my car
or in my BLUETOOTH stereo headphones
it sounds even richer when using the 3.5 mm plug
Finally I flashed kernel to Voodoo_stable_5.1 (voided warranty).
Installed Voodoo sound from market it has option "bass on headphones" under FM Radio
Under WM8994 it has Headphone amplifier which increased the sound volume only "not bsss"
So still the issue remains same......I m not getting punchy bass as I have in other comparatively mid level phones.....I bought it because GSM Arena mentioned that it has perfect sound quality.
Please tell me is it the issue with my SGS only or every SGS has same kind of sound.
Yes manit, I can confirm which the fm radio on not vodoo kernel have "no bass". My friend have samsung wave 8500(bada o.s.)and the bass are ok on his fm radio. Don't understand why, but is so.

Actually I m not concern about FM radio sound......my problem is when I listen music in music player or "Power AMP " the music lacks Bass
Still I didn't get solution.....
Problem resolved
Got SENNHEISER ear phones .....sound is now great.
the stock headset is just crappy quality. put some good ones in.
too bad they cant give some descent ear plugs with a 500 euro phone

Generally speaking, the earphones that come with phones are terrible and are not meant for music appreciation.. I'm not really surprised that you'd find terrible bass/distortion using them.

Quality seems fine to me... and quite durable!
Definitely better than stock ipod earplugs...
The quality of the bundled headphones could be worse...
With regards to sound quality flash a kernel that supports Voodoo Sound 4 and install the Voodoo app from the market place. From there if you plan on messing with the EQ in programs such as PowerAMP or Mixzing then turn the gain down (a long way down...) before you start mucking around with the bass. After that your music should be distortion free and very rumbley should you choose to make it so.

[REQ] [MOD] headphone volume boost?

I am not sure if i'm putting this in the right category but i figured since this is where the kernel development goes on it would be the best place.
I don't know about anyone else, but i use my phone as an all in one media device, and my main concern is the audio volume that comes out of the auxillary jack. I have tried 3 different ROMs and a few kernels including stock, and when my Inspire's media volume is maxed out playing through my car stereo it doesn't even come close to the volume output of my nexus s and captivate, much less my iPhone. The closest i have been able to get in better audio quality/volume comes from CM7, i am guessing because it is sourced off of AOSP. Even that is at least a notch or two under my cappy, and it makes a big difference.
I was wondering if there is anyway to make a kernel/ROM adjustment to boost the AUX volume output, NOT the phone external speaker.
Gladly willing to donate to a project for this.

Yes, please, I would love this, I use my phone to listen to music in my car and it's incredibly low, only when I turn my car's speakers to max is it at a normal volume... I would love this mod.
Download an app called volume boost.

Been there done that, it boosts the volume but outputs through AUX in mono. Doesnt work too well in my STEREO headphones or car STEREO

I know in CM7 that you can use DSP Manager to boost volume for just headset. Just increase the EQ evenly across the full range.

^^^ I recommend this as well. It works great.
I will try the dsp suggestion. I was just curious if we could figure out a solution for sense roms as well.

There has to be a better way to make this thing loud. I was irritated with how quiet my Rhodium was and this device is even worse. In Rhodium Land I procured a .cab that made my Rhodium obnoxiously loud at full volume. I want some of that.

Ah i remember the terrible audio on my TP2 all too well. Ahhh we need a headset boostt

To touch on the DSP resolution, it did not work. It boosted the power output yes, but distorted the clarity to an unusable extent.
Unfortunately a mod moved this thread because even though it is a development discussion, it seems they aren't enthusiastic enough to support this mod.
I'm offering at least 15$ for this fix..
Low Volume Output
I have just gotten a HTC Inspire 4G, and it's not hard to see that the volume output is doubtfully low compared to most other devices such as an iPhone. I have tried all the suggestions in this thread but none seem to work for a high volume output into a stereo,headphones,are any other jack devies. The EQ seemed to be a good idea I prefer to use my equalizer to sustain a better music experience. So overall I think there should be a mod or a tweak to increase volume output level.
Sent from HTC Inspire 4G
A volume increase, or fix is definitely needed. This phone is too quiet.
There's a fix!
Root your phone and flash Revolution ROM v3.5. I just got back from cranking out Pandora on my car radio and the sound is great!
Check my sense Rom thread there is 2 beta kernels I just compiled with speed tweaks and volume boosts across both speakers and headphones(should in turn boost aux output levels as well). It's LOUD, to the point I can no longer listen to music at full volume. I still need to make some fine tuning adjustments, but I think I'm gonna try dsp manager to help even further. Some libs have to be replaced for dsp manager to work with sense roms, but with the sound boost alone, quality still seems to be pretty good with no distortion(that I heard anyway), and with this and dsp manager, it should be a pretty good fix.
I need feedback so I know what has to be fixed(or not fixed...too loud?, distortion?, etc)
Note these are froyo inspire kernels
It has to be whatever ROM you all are using... I took the exact same songs on CD -vs- my phone, and volume is the same, clean across the board.
No issues here at all.
Then again, I am VERY sensitive about my music and won't touch it unless it has a high bit rate. I also run volume leveling software on all of my music too. That way one song isn't terribly louder than the previous.
I'd really like this, my truck stereo isn't loud enough with the inspire at max volume. I don't want to change ROMs to fix this because every ROM other than what I'm running had some problem I couldn't stomach. However, while I briefly had CM7, it did boost the volume significantly.
Its already done as I posted. Flash the kernel from my (sense rom)thread(you'll have to search for it, but its there. Its stable, fast, and the volume is LOUD.(froyo kernel)

Audio output

Okay coming from the iPhone 4 when I would stream Pandora in my vehicle it sounded good but with the desire its like it isn't loud enough and it doesn't have any depth just treble sounds like am I missing a setting or is this common with HTC phones not having good audio?
Sent from my HTC INSPIRE 4G
it is a known fact that the speaker sucks on the Inspire.
Your iPhone automatically adjusted the volume when you plugged it into the car, and wouldn't let you adjust the volume on the device. The Inspire doesn't do this, so you have to use the volume rocker on the device to set it loud enough for it to sound decent in your car. I stream audio from mine all the time in the car, and once the audio is set at the right volume it sounds great.
I did not have the same experience as Silas. I'm currently on CoreDroid, which is supposed to have some audio tweaks to increase the volume of the all speakers up to 20%. It's still very treble heavy. It's well known the speaker on the Inspire is less than stellar, and you just happen to be coming from a device that has an incredible external speaker. I'm not sure you're going to get the volume/sound quality you desire out of this particular device.

[Q] Bad speaker sound quality after boost

I just tested the Franco Kernel Audio boost for like 10 seconds on a song on maximum volume. Now I have a bad audio quality from the speaker even after flashing clean stock Android Lolipop. Is it possible I just ruined my speaker?

Headphones volume

Anyone else is struggling with SUPER LOW headphones volume? Before OP6 I had HTC One M8 which was LITERALLY 3 times louder. I am using SoundMagic E10c(cable, jack) and I am wondering if similiar problem exists for BT headphones. Need some way to have music with decent volume, since I am listening to music basically all the time.
Any way to fix this?
That's true. I hope that there will be a Sound mod in the future

The same problem doesn't exists in case of BT headphones for sure... Its just bad with wired one's, really underwhelming! Waiting for some good audio mod to maybe help fix that issue if possible.

My earphone volume is fine. Using non standard music player/ equaliser and good bearphones
I don't know why people say it's quiet on headphones I've 3.5 jack. I use bullets V2 from OnePlus and the volume and quality are fine.

I haven't noticed a difference in the sound over my LG HBS850 (Bluetooth), and I haven't tried my 3.5mm cable headphones yet.
I have OP6. After reading the complaints here checked with different brands of earphones. The sound is really loud and clear. Even at medium levels I have sufficient loudness. Equalizer too works well. I checked the earphone audio in Player Pro music player, Saavan streaming music and YouTube. I am very much happy with what I hear in terms of loudness and fidelity. I don't think the mentioned complaint is true universally.

I experienced the volume loss as well. When using the phone in my car I have to adjust the radio by almost 10 ticks (from volume 18-20 to up to 30 now).
Yesterday in my car with the oneplus 3 no problems, but the 6 has some very low volume settings. It's kinda frustrating at this point, the volume sucks and the quality doesn't match up to what the oneplus 3 could produce. I think it has something to do with the equalizer that oneplus 6 now offers. This morning while trying to adjust the settings I've downloaded the snapdragon equalizer on top of the baked in equalizer and that seems to kinda do the trick (boosts the volume by a bit).
Oh boy, same here. Using a pair of M50x's, they don't need much power to get going but I've noticed it's not as loud as my 3. I have a fiio K1 amp but didn't work on the 3, figured it might! work on the 6 but nope! so I guess I'm stuck using a amp with the headphone jack.
Oneplus really needs to improve their audio output power, that's for sure.
So I just noticed something. Music is actually fine and loud ONLY when i am choosing ringtone. Spotify/Google Play/VLC etc. all is silent, even after installing Viper4Android it's still to silent.
I agree, the volume of the headphone jack is very low and the overall sound quality is bad. My HTC one A9 is brilliant when using audio files from the jack. It's loud and clean but the OP6 is too low and very bad sounding. Not for audiophiles. I tried with Viper and it's the same.
I felt low volume intially , but after 5.1.8 update I think the volume is good. (May be its just my feel ?)
I tried with ATH M50x and samsung stock earphone.
With the filo e7K the sound quality is good enough ...

I have cheapo ear buds with 16 ohm impedance, just like yours. Anything above 80% volume is uncomfortably loud. Perhaps your unit is defective?
chiming in, no issue here, brand new, white OP6... I'm smitten
for me volume too low even with viper4android
Massively loud with black player, amp and good bass earphones, even the speaker is much louder than my HTC 10
Give ElementalX kernel a try, I've flashed it and boosted my amp output. It helps! with viper4android I don't really need an external amp anymore. But.. it's still better

Same here until i have changed the headphones value (Rx1 and Rx2 mix digital volume) on the "mixer path tavil.xml" file located here : Root/vendor/etc
90 is perfect and you will see a huge difference ! Try and let me know. If you prefere i Can also send you my customised file ?
Don't what y'all talking about, the sound over the headphone jack is so loud to the point I set it only at 60-70%... And the quality is great too, Had a nexus 6p and LG G5 before this one.. but i tried a lot of phones
This one is really loud with great quality overall

Probably because you're leaving outside Europe and not aware of the EU Volume limitation...
