Hi,
I have a rooted Nexus 5 that I use for music with bluetooth headphones. I've applied the headphone volume boost from XDA which has worked a treat for wired headphones, but I'm wondering whether it is possible to do a similar volume boost of the bluetooth audio output. Any ideas?
Thanks!

+1 I'm looking for the same thing. The max volume on Bluetooth speaker is always 10% softer than if you plug a wire into the aux input without Bluetooth. I wonder if there is a way to boost the volume so that it matches the volume attained from a direct aux wire.

I would try to see if there may be a Xposed module that may help or if you can use a compatible kernel with volume boost. Viper Audio may also help since raising the settings within equalizer to boost vocals/bass/etc if you'd like to try as well.
Are you going for hearing loss?
Did you ever find a solution to this?

I suffer from hearing loss (too many Metallica and Korn concerts back in the day) - because of this so-called handicap, I'm interested if there are any solutions or even alternative, suggested wireless earbuds that would accommodate my needs.
The earbuds I currently have are Plantronics Backbeat Go 2 - excessively low volume.

There is nothing that can be done. The volume for Bluetooth is not controlled via kernel as other sounds are. The limitation is hardware unfortunately.
I too have plantronics back beat go and they are very low. Other BT buds may be a little louder but don't expect miracles.
The only thing you can do is go wired. Sorry to break this to you.

Hi.
As we know, the audio output (mini plug out) from the Inspire is weak. I see no software fix for it and I want to boost the sound to my car stereo. Does anyone know of a small amp with female mini plugs (one input-one output) that can fix this issue?
Thanks.
No issues with mine. I just turn on equalizer. Guess it really depends on how loud you want it. Equalization will only enhance it.

You might try the power amp music player from the market. In settings it has a pre amp that is adjustable.

Will this boot Pandora's output?

No. It only boosts what's being played by it.
I too have the same issue (Toyota?)... It's not an issue with the car's stereo because any other device works fine. I have noticed that some apps are REALLY quiet. I use the built in Music player because it seems to be the least worst, but yeah, definitely an issue with the device. Boo.
There are a lot of options. Search google for inline headphone amplifier.

Yeah, didn't want to have to use more adaptors tho, dohh
Maybe
I have FiiO E5 that is designed for headphones it might be a good choice, I will have to try it sometime! I dunno I just turn up my headunit haha and I turn off the EQ when in my car due to it just muddying up the bass and such...
I have had the z5 for about a month and i am happy with it. However I have found the volume with headphones too low. Most to the time, i have to double check to see if it can go louder.
To ensure it wasn't my headphones, I went to to an electronic store and tried all the top end headphones but just found it not loud enough.
Maybe i am going deaf but has anyone experienced similar results?
With high impedance headphones, it could be a problem... I'm using a pair of 32ohm earbuds and the volume level is pretty good (¾ is loud enough for me)
Indeed, the volume is very low with my 600ohm Beyerdynamic DT-880, but that's normal: These headphones are not meant to be used with a phone, they need proper amplification to sound their best.
I like the Phone, but again the headphone gain is way too low... I guess there is no way to make it louder without rooting? Because I do not want to **** up Knoxx.
Another solution could be a microUSB audio amp / dac? Anyone knows which one works best with the S7 (FIIO K7 / Fulla Schiit / Nexum Aqua / HRT dsp ) ???
Crap man... I barely turn it up 50%..with stock earbuds. What type of headphone are you using that need so much volume?

I connect my phone to a 40 watt work radio. Without being able to modify the volume output through the audio jack it's just too quiet. I'm on my phone now so I don't remember where but there is another thread about boosting the volume and how to do it.
I just recently ordered the 1more triple driver earbuds. They sound great. But I have to have the volume maxed out to get a decent level. I'm mostly using Google Music to listen to music. I was having similar issues even using a pair of cheap JVC earbuds. But with the 1more it's even worse. I'm wondering if it's the amp limitations or a faulty device. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
I have a pair of AKG Y20Us and sometimes I have to max them out to get a comfortable level, and sometimes max volume is way too loud for me, I'm not sure what the deal is.
I bought a Pixel USB C to 3.5mm adapter to use my Bose earphones and noticed that the volume is really low even at max setting. I've been using this earphone on my Note 8 & iPhone X (using the Apple 3.5mm adapter} without any issues. I tried 2 other wired earphones with the same low volume issue. Any solution on this.

I guess it's likely a conflict with the audio chip in cable, maybe Essential could add compatibility in a future update???
is this all apps? And phone?
Random have you trieds...
Clear cache/data in the system app MusicFX (probably also some other audio related app you could do same with.
If music only does your player have an alt decoder and/or a reset decoder button like in Blackplayer or an alt equaliser?
or maybe even disable usb audio routing (in developer options)
I was just about to buy one also, so thanks for posting, hope you find a solution.

I think I've seen others share the same issue with the Pixel adapter too. It's just not a good adapter, from what I've read. The market is a total mess too. Not many options to begin with, only adapters with a built-in DAC will work, and there's little info to determine what to expect from what you buy. I guess an ideal adapter might be one that also includes an amp.
