Hey everyone, well I'm a fairly new T-Mobile customer & Sensation owner and while I really love the phone I'm not the happiest about the speaker or headset volume level. I can turn the level all the way up when I have a headset plugged in and it's no where near loud enough for me when listening to music. Is this the norm for all you Sensation owners as well?
Now I've read about the crappy speaker that is used and I've followed the music player thread hear as well I've tested Volume+ and nothing seems to change the loudness level. All of the apps were just the free verions and I know that Volume+ lets you go to +8 in the paid version but I just wish something could boost the volume to a noticeable difference!
It's getting to the point where I may swap this out for the Amaze or possible Consider the GSII.
The stock handsfree headset is pure crap, mind you. Just get a pair of good headphones and a Beats ROM and you'll be all set
The speaker volume and headphone volume are quite low compared to my old s7 edge. Anyone know a way of boosting it? But underwhelmed by the Hi res Audi support too.....do you have to use the built in app to get hi res quality?

You need to wait to Root. If you check the Sony CrossDev forum, you'll notice custom sound solutions that increase the volume, quality of sound. Also the waterproofing causes the default loudspeaker volume to be a tad lower than other phones
It's mainly the headphone volume I've noticed. I remember having a Sony Walkman in the 80's and noticed the volume was lower than others then. Maybe it's a Sony thing, I like my music loud.

i love my honor 6x, but there is one really weak spot that makes me using my Galaxy S4 again. Sound output.... I love bass and when i boost the bass even a little bit in the EQ the sound gets terrible. When the bass hits, the volume goes low and when the bass is gone it gets loud again. My S4 is better in this point, i can crank up the bass that high that it could destroy my headphones without losing any volume. Any fix for this?
root your phone and use Viper4Android and other modules to tweak
Other than Viper4Android as mentioned by shashank1320, using it in combination with Dolby Atmos can really make tracks sounds clearer and better. Give 'em a try!
viper+dolby atmos for zte axon 7
Thats all i tried so far, but it doesnt solve my volume problem. Phone goes to eBay.
Unfortunately you can't improve the sound quality (viper4android doesn't do much)

try jet audio player , it improves the volume through earphones
Use magisk module of viper4android v2.3.4
Phone sold already, got an Axon 7. Now i can blast my brain out <3
I use external dac/amp, but of course Huawei had to screw USB port as well and it works only with UAPP. Probably my last device from Huawei. Why all android manufacturers can't stick with USB specifications? Hate to say it but I am starting to think about Apple ?
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...
Today I've bought Sony MDR WF-XB700's and sound quality is great but I feel like the maximum volume is too low for me, I listen to music loudly and these I think are normal for most of the people but I feel like bass could punch a lot harder but I just can't turn up the volume that high. I've tried the disable absolute volume for bluetooth and tried increasing the gain from viper4android (rooted) but it just clips the sound, I'm looking for anything even rooted solutions, thanks. Phone is LG G7.
Really is this problem that bad that no one knows how to solve? I'll end up returning them in the last it seems like.
