[Q] Way to route speaker audio to the phone earpiece? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Is there an app/other method I can use to make audio play in the phone's earpiece speaker? For things like playing music files, not just for routing a VOIP call for a specific app.
I have a rooted Nexus 5 running 4.4.4 KitKat.
Thanks

There is an app called earpiece that does exactly what you all for in the play store. Works flawlessly.

Thanks for the fast reply
I tried the Earpiece app and it works but i noticed there's no way to adjust the volume of the earpiece speaker. I tried adjusting the normal volume as well as the ringer volume. Does anyone know a way to adjust the volume using this app?
Edit: The volume changing works. I tested the apps functionality in the youtube app at the time of the post. I restarted and tried it with the stock music player and it worked great.

Hmm, it seems you are right. I last remember it working perfectly but it seems that now volume control doesn't work for me either. My apologies, this is the only solution I have. Hopefully someone else will be able to offer some advice.
EDIT: Spelling

There's an option in call settings for "Hearing aids" that says it'll bump up in-call volume. Haven't used it yet, so I don't know how well it works.
Granted I'm guessing it's -only- for phone calls, so for music/video playback I don't have an answer for you unfortunately.
Do you mean the speaker is as low as other HTC?
I thought it will be better than DHD and N1...
volume sucks
Low volume is one of the issues that bugs me with Sensation. The ring volume is low even at max and volume trough headphones is way too low.
This needs to be addressed by HTC ASAP in their new ROM.
The Stock music app has a feature called "SRS enhancement" It helps with the sound quality tremendously! It can be used either while listening to music or with the stock video player.
I've had good results from an app called Equalizer.
I changed the hearing aids setting and it has helped a lot for calls.

The "hearing aid" option does help out with the volume not just for calls but all other audio output as well. I guess I must be hard of hearing (by HTC's standards) because I really don't understand why the phone had such a low volume setting to begin with.
Well let's hope the Volume+ developer get it to work with the Sensation. I Just send him an email....
Hearing Aid is annoying because it doesn't help with speakerphone AND you can't lower the volume!
I installed volume+ today and it makes huge difference in sound quality
I think it is now supportable to HTC sensation
Thanks to its developer

Skype mic volume.

I installed Skype the other day, and could not hear myself on the test call. Speaking directly into the mic did not help. I can record voice notes in Evernote with no problem. I can also use Google voice search without issue. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to adjust the volume in Skype that I'm missing?

Headset button controller app?

Is there a headset button control app for Galaxy Note? The stock controls only allow play/pause and next song..
I've had an iPhone 3gs a long time ago, and every android device i've used so far lacks the headset control that apple offers.
Is there an app which allows previous/next song, forward/rewind, play/pause?
I'm using this app with their headset. Someone mentioned it works with other single buttoned headsets. So Give it a try...

Working like a CHARM! I love it alreaddy.
Previous app I used was "Headset Button Controller" but when I turned volume up by 1, it would go up and down for several minutes.
Jays is much much better. LOVE it
Thanks
If you are talking about single-button headsets, did your stock Note headsets came without the volume buttons or you are just not counting them and only referring to the pause/play button?

this doesn't really answer your question, but if you haven't yet purchased a headset, all of the A2DP bluetooth headset controls work just fine on my MW600
The application mentioned solved my problem. It works without any errors and very smooth.
I'm using the original headset with one button and 2 buttons for volume.
Without the app I can't select previous tracks etc

I also use this app in my native language.

I am using samsung Gt-s5300(rooted) and Cellularline Audio Pro Fly bluetooth headphones set. The headset buttons are working fine for music, but i can`t voicecall. I installed Cyberon Voice Speed Dial 1.2.15 which has options to voice call when i hold-press headset button but is not working. I tried Jays and Headset Button controlle but none are working also showing no commands in debug mode. I do not have inertnet access on the phone anywhere near. I guess the problem in headset not recognising the apk HS controls is because its disigned for apple devices and phone doesn`t have id tags or voice commands in contacts by itself. This is my first smart phone so any help is welcome. Voice recongision of Cyberon Speed Dial is working fine but i need a way to launch the application using the headset.
p.s ok after i tried lots of app i managed to add open app function to headset using Jays Headset 3 keys settings. It doesnt work with the folder music player i use but it works when folderplayer is not open or with regular music player so my problem is solved for now and i can 1click then voice dialer opens so i can voice dial without touching the phone.
No 1 headset app for Android by far.
Found this review, it explains this free (+ ad free as well) app better than I can, I just use it

Blaze Volume low

Volume was never much to write home about, but following latest update, I rooted the phone again since the update seemed to cancel out the root,
and my volume on SMS and ringer are less than half strength. I need very strong volume where I work.
I have Volume + but it doesn't seem to work on this phone. All Volume adjustments do nothing.
Any suggestions? I haven't tried a ROM yet. I am considering DK, but have never uploaded a ROM before
Any help would be appreciated!
Try downloading AudioManager from the Play Store. Works for me.

I'm looking to over-ride the existing audio settings. That app doesn't do that.
Is there an app that does over ride the stock settings and can overdrive the audio? I realize I'll have distortion, but right now I can't hear anything so it's better than missing calls.
Thanks again in advance.

Can't adjust volume in Google music.

Anyone know of a fix? My volume won't lower while playing music through the app. Works fine in any other situation.

So when you hit the volume buttons does the ringer volume change instead of the music volume? Or does nothing happen?
Are you running stock, stock with xposed modules or a ROM?
Are you trying to play through the phone speaker, headphones or bluetooth? And have you tried another option and does the issue still occur?

It's defaulted to media volume (via xposed and gravity box), but before that it would still show the media volume while in the app and never adjust. I've tried Paranoid Android, stock with xposed, and stock after a complete re-image. CyanogenMod seemed to be immune from this issue, or maybe I never tested it.
Bluetooth works fine, headphones untested (I'm at work at the moment), so the speaker is my main issue. All other media apps work fine. I managed to fix it once by toggling the volume in the YouTube app, then switching back to Music and it worked. That trick hasn't work since. Also, the volume meter does move, it just keeps it at max volume regardless.
