Ok, so I did have a big explanation on this, but my university wifi of course decided to disconnect as soon as I hit the submit button and I lost everything. Anyway, I know you can edit the mixer_paths.xml file to increase headphones volume. On the G3 you could also increase AUX volume. I don't see that option in the Nexus 5's mixer_paths files. I'm wondering if it's called something else and I'm just missing it. Any other methods to increase AUX volume are also appreciated. Thanks!
What are you calling auxiliary volume?

Auxillary volume is the volume in something like a car with an AUX setting (which is what I have). It should have very little or no relation with the volume out of headphones. At one point on my G3 I had the headphones volume incredibly loud while the AUX volume was relatively low. After editing the file and increasing the AUX volume, it became louder. I don't see something like that in the Nexus 5's mixer_paths.xml, so I assumed it either doesn't exist or it's called something else.

Thanks for clarifying. I don't understand how the G3 did this as its all from one socket. Anyway as far as I know, its just one volume on this phone (and every phone I personally have had). I use the 3.5mm jack a lot so I think you're good.

Yes, it's definitely just one socket, but the G3 could tell whether or not it was headphones or an AUX cable and adjusted its volume according to that. I'm not sure if the Nexus 5 does that, but my current volume isn't too too bad. I'd prefer it slightly louder, but it's not a big deal.

I generally think the headphone volume is pretty low on this device. If you're rooted I can highly recommend viper4android. We have a thread with flashable zips in the n5 themes and apks section

It's definitely very low. I have increased it and installed Viper and it's a good deal better. I rarely need to turn it all the way up.

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.

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...
Hello. I didn't See thread for v967s so i will post here.
When I plug headphones into the Jack correctly (till the end) the sound is like Its without low frequencies. Just high ones.

First try different headphones with different amount of pins/connectors or length of the connector just to make sure that all the pins are connecting like they should.
I had a similar problem with my tablet and I found out that not all headphone jacks are identical but differ in length etc and some didn't work that well with the tablet cos they never went deep enough to the headphone socket.
To adjust the headphone volume check out MobileUncle Tools engineer mode options.

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.
I'd read somewhere that whilst the current sound output is mono there is the potential to make the output stereo via a software update. Has anyone heard of any commit plans for this or whether it is actually possible?
Many thanks.
You have been misinformed.
Only mono sound is possible.
Both speakers are soldered to the same location?
I'm interested in this. It just seems really odd that the phone comes with two speakers, the DAC should support stereo output, and yet they'd only wire it for mono (I'm assuming that's what they did if we cannot get stereo via software).

Check the OPO forum.
It's been confirmed by the OPO team themselves.
I dont know what's the importance on having stereo speaker unless they are located top and bottom and you're listening right in your face you won't tell the difference.
This is a useless tread

Speaker membranes cannot simply be increased in one dimension. Going both in width and height would make the phone too thick so the only choice is to use 2 speakers next to each others to increase output power. Try holding your finger on one of the speakers, you'll immediately notice the loudness dropping by half.
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.
