Hi!
I bought car holder for my Note Pro to listen music from it and use it as navigator.
I noticed that volume level is very weak over Bluetooth (I connect my devices to my car speakers over BT) when compaired to my Note 3. NP is same loud on max volume what Note 3 is with 3/4 volume. So max volume leaves too low (I have to trun so much volume to my car radio that I'm terrified of blowing up my aplifiers, since I have never turn volume so loud when using USB, radio, or Note 3 over BT).
Is there any way to boost that volume up, to get it at least same level as Note 3? I got rooted tablet, but no custom recovery or so.
I found somewhere that editing mixer_paths file, you can increase volume levels, but only for speakes and headphones.
So any help is welcome
Try Viper4Android. Gives you a bit of gain control, and other quality enhancements over speaker, headphones, USB and Bluetooth.

In fact I found and installed it yesterday evening, just hadn't got time to test it. At least there is option to enable Bluetooth tweaks and boost volume level up. Need to test does it really do that on my device.
I'll report here when I have tested it.
I've never tried it on smp900, but works really well on my Nexus 5/Bluetooth

I haven't got time to get any deeper in to this, but so far when I enable master power for Bluetooth devices on Viper4Android and set "output gain" up to the max (6.0dB) under master gate, I get a bit louder BT output.
This is good start, just can't turn enough gain to it. Clearly my Note 3 is still louder when playing music through BT than my NP.
Need to play around V4A and read about it to find out if there's some other twaks that could help me on this.

Differently from others who find that headphones volume is low, I think that what is really low is the speaker volume.
Using, or should I say trying to use, this phone for a call inside a car using the speaker is impossible... the volume is too low and the car noise, even at lower speeds will be higher.
Is there a way to increase the volume without changing kernel or rom? Maybe some system option like the one that can be used on ATT LG G2.
Thanks.

There is currently no system boost. I have to say when the phone was delivered I hated everything in the sound department with the Nexus 5. The volume is erratic my 5 year old daughter loves nextflix and the playback is so quiet even she was like where's is the volume boost. I am sure there will be a software fix by developers or google soon, well I hope so.
Hi of you use volume + this works to increase the sound always

Anyone else notice the audio output via BT to be rather low? Connected this to my card (Ford explorer) and I have to almost double the speaker volume from what I had used with my Note 3..

Strange, I don't have this issue with my AT&T G3 and Motorola bluetooth headset. Maybe I'm not picky about it or something. It works the same as it did on my Nexus 5

Had this problem today in a 2014 Dodge. the G3 has separate BT volume. SO basically I had to max out my phone volume to make it normal.
Thought i'd mention this just in case you missed it.
BT headset volume is fine but music playback through my car BT is pretty low. Like what was mentioned you need to make sure the BT volume on your G3 is turned up all the way or you will have no bump at all.
I've had lower volume issues with a wired headset. It's like I need a booster.

I noticed this too and Amazon sells little headphone amps just for this very thing. My son bought one and said it helps quite a bit.
RE: Volume Fix

It worked for me, and if you read through the 1st page, the have a Recovery that works.
I have the AT&T version and I flashed the zip.
Works much better now.
Have you guys tried the XPOSED module Viper4Android app? I believe it has a way to boost the overall sound for headphones, phone speaker, Bluetooth, and USB Dock (all independently). It also has lots of other great sound tweaks too.
EDIT - Viper4Android isn't part of the xposed framework. It does require root, but otherwise is a regular app.

Afte rooting I installed Viper4Android and everything is amazing! I haven't ran Bluetooth but my headphone sound has increased 10 fold.
Compelling. I have hints of a minor problem with a wired headset volume. But I still feel there's no overwhelming evidence that returning to stock is completely dependable for the 850d.

I just wanted to clear up some mis-information. The Viper4Android app does not require the Xposed framework. I installed it while working with other modules and incorrectly associated it with xposed in my mind. But it is a freestanding app, not related to xposed. It does however require root privileges.
I just wanted to mention that since I posted some inaccurate information above.....

Thanks

When youre connected to a BT device the volume control is for that BT device or connection.
I am on a custom ROM by Fulmics and my BT volume for calls is about 1/3 as loud as for streaming media.
Notifications are normal, it started when ringtone was quieter when BT was on, rings through BT and barely through phone, previously it rang loud on phone and just noticeable on BT... I use the BT for work and I can't have me not hearing what support is instructing me to do on a service call...
Will look into dev mode and tweaks and see if something is there to correct this low volume.
Yes I noticed this and there is a build.prop perameter that can be changed it's called : ro.lge.bt_gain_control_factor
I belong the factory setting is 0.8 I have mine set to 1.4 without issue but YMMV

I am using a pair of AKG y50's and all though sounding great on the s6 the volume is low.. By this I mean for me to have them at a decent volume means I have to turn it up to around 90%.
Anyway to improve this without root etc?

Have you tried using the Adapt Sound feature in the settings app? This will adjust the sound volume and clarity based on your listening levels. You should set it up and try listening again to see if that helps.
I've heard that the internal DAC in the S7 is really weak, but is it really this weak? When I listen to music with headphones, I have to raise the volume to ~80% just to sound like how ~30-40% would sound on most devices. This is the same with both wired headphones and Bluetooth headphones
Its fine. Much much louder than my previous sony xperia z3 compact
It most certainly is not fine. At roughly 66% volume, I cannot hear anything when I'm on an airplane. I travel a lot for work and have to crank the volume up past 90% just to listen to podcasts when flying.

I have no issues with it. It depends on the source and type of headphone. Stock headphones are not sealing type so there no way it's going to cancel out airplane. Get sealing earphone and it'll be too loud.
I have volume problems too. Actually at 1-3 notches sound gets cut off!
To clarify it goes from decently loud at the 4+ to well I can't hear half the things at 3 (drops in and out). What I can hear is still loud enough. At step 1 I can hear about 20% at the volume in expecting and the rest is silent.
Then to make things worse, call volume keeps resetting to step 2 or 3. I'd take a call and max it out then next call it will be at 2/3 again.. I believe some app is setting the media volume to call volume. But I have no new apps and did not have this problem on S6.

You should try this mod , IF you're rooted and have a custom recovery. Works really well.

I don't use stock headphones and i always use sealing types in airplanes. When I connect to my car via the aux port, i have to run full volume on the phone and two notches down from full volume on the car stereo to match sound levels from my OPO. My stereo settings go from 0-40, i run 38 with the S7. OPO i can set the stereo to 30 and it matches S7 volume.
I've noticed if I have maps or a GPS running after the GPS uses the speaker, it can use the "full" volume again until I remove and plug a auxiliary cable again. It's a dirty work around but it is effective.

Go to sound quality settings and bump the equalizer all the way up. Can also turn on hearing aid assist

Using AirPod Pros with the OP6 has, at least in my case, been frustrating because of very low volume. Indoors, it's OK, but when I'm outside, it's a struggle to hear what I'm listening to at times. ElementalX kernel allows me to boost volume for the speaker and a plugin earphone, but it doesn't do anything for Bluetooth. V4A helps a little, but not enough, even with playback gain control and the equalizer jacked up.
One solution is to go back to my corded earphones. The above items work great there.
Any ideas for increasing volume with bluetooth earbuds?
