Low Audio volume on Spotify - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I have a little problem. Using Spofity i have noticed a very low volume level compared to the stock samsung music player app.
I tried to disable all the EQ app on the phone without results.
Someone can help me? Thanks

I use Spotify daily on my S6 with EQ off and audio quality on Extreme. I tried the Samsung Music player and the volume is exactly the same.

Does extreme make much of a difference from normal? And does it take up a lot more space you download the playlist? I have Spotify premium.

It doesn't make a difference to everyone. I just use extreme because why not, I've got unlimited data, I don't save any playlists just stream.

I also use extreme quality on spotify but the volume is so low. I have also tryed to calibrate audio without succes. This thing is really annoying xD

I have the same problem, actually started a thread in Q and A about increasing volume, because it really bothers me.

If you're using Gingerbread, Volume+ can give bluetooth sound a serious boost.
You can purchase it from the android market here:
market.android.com/details?id=com.TEST.android.lvh&hl=en​
Or install it manually for free from here (at least for now):

I've never had problems with music over bluetooth, but videos tend to be a lot quieter. Watching TV on a noisy train was very difficult before I got this app, but now I can hear it loud and clear.
P.S. Excuse the unlinked URLs above. I'm too much of a noob to post links apparently. Just add http

Bluetooth volume boost?
I have a Samsung Captivate that runs on Firefly 3.0 froyo rom. The problem is that the audio of music and most importantly videos are not loud enough. Voodoo control plus does a great job of increasing the volume for wired headset. But I use bluetooth headset to listen to music and watch movies. I can hardly hear the audio in noisy environments.
Can someone suggest some app or fix or mod to increase volume in bluetooth headset?
I came to know that volume+ app for gingerbread does this job. Any similar app for froyo? or Voodoo control plus can actually help with BT headset volume boost?

Audio low when using mx player

Any one have a fix for the low audio when playing movies with mx player? You can hardly here anything with the stock speaker when watching a movie. However youtube and all the other apps have alot louder audio.

Swipe up on the right hand side of the screen whilst playing. MX, like many videoplayers, has internal volume control.
Look into Dice player - it has built-in settings to amplify the sound... Besides that, it's the best video player I've used...

I found that Volume + is the best app for boosting volume for any players including internet video streaming and Youtube etc.. It's a master volume boost for all your audio, master volume, headset volume and blue tooth volume. The boost is extremly high so set to about +14 (+20 is max) should be suitable for anything you throw at it. After you installed, make sure you go into preference of Volume+ and set the gain, then go into settings ->sound.> effect volume and put a check for volume+, reboot and voala!

Yes, Volume+ works fine, but it's just another app that will always be running, sucking up CPU cycles and memory.... I've found that my volume is fine for just about everything except for certain videos, which is where Dice really shines...
More of a personal preference (I used to use Volume+), but if you start adding all of these little "add-ons" (volume+ to increase sound, Lux to do auto-brightness, live wallpaper to display a static wallpaper, etc), you end up consuming quite a bit of memory and/or CPU cycles for things that you don't really need extra apps for...
When I was trying to tune the stock kernel, I tried to (and did) find ways around using all of these "add-ons" (due to the poor performance of stock) and I think that my system is better tuned because of it...
Just my opinion, of course!

[Q] Music Volume (speakers)

Just got my One yesterday and I have an extensive music library stored with Google Music. As you have to use their app to play streamed music stored on their service, I noticed that even with maximum volume settings, it is not playing as loud as I hoped through the speakers. Headphone volume is fine and also other apps like YouTube play loud so it's not apparently the phone, but apparently limitations in the Play Music app? It makes no difference with beats on or off and yes, I have maximum volume set for "media and music" in settings plus the volume rocker on the phone is set to max. Does anyone know of an app I can use with Play Music to increase the sound when using the speakers and has anyone else noticed this?
ooops. Wrong forum, if mod can move to HTC One forum would appreciate.

[Q] How to remove breath noise when equalizer is on ?

Hi,
I'm not sure if I'm the only one with that issue but when I turn on equalizer, i got breath (IDK if that's the right word in english, it's "du souffle" in french, a "shhhhh" sound) at each blank in a song.
No problem at all when equalizer is off.
I tried several earphone, in-earphone and headphone but nothing change. I tried other music player instead of Google play music, same issue if equalizer is on.
I'm on stock and rooted, anyway to get that breath off with equalizer ?
Thanks.
Hiss?
Does the Same happen when eq is set flat?

Have you played around with the EQ settings? It might be specifically Bass Boost or Surround Sound which is causing it. For the record, there is no audible hiss when using EQ for me.
I think that it's hiss.
No hiss when EQ set at Flat, i'm not using Bass boost or surround.
It seems to be linked to 14kHz frequency. I got the same hiss with the n7 2013 when i play with the 14 kHz frequency.
No issue with my Cowon J3. Weird, so i won't use this frequency.
Thanks to all anyway.
Edit : Hiss even with EQ off at very low volume (so i will increase it because it tends to disappear at higher volume, EQ just accentuate the effect at low volume) on both N5 and N7. Bad thing from coming from a great MP3 player such as the J3 lol.
Thanks anyway
The Nexus 5 isn't the greatest audio player ever in terms of quality but there are things you can flash to make it louder. I believe there is even a ROM built by audiophiles.

What is the difference you see
There is no sound boost when ther slider is all the way to the right for clarity as well as sound.
Even if there is a sound boost,it is very very small
Depends on a lot of things actually...what app were you using while trying to boost sound through the video toolbox?, what were you listening it in..I mean , was it via 3.5 mm jack headphones or the inbuilt speakers or via bluetooth? All will give different reulsts and also depends on whether any other sound settings were tinkered as well.

Ok..So were you tinkering with the equalizer and other settings found in phone settings--->sound effects prior to doing this sound boost or was it in memory?This happens to me quite often when I play around with both settings..i.e. the sound effects settings and the video toolbox sound clarity and volume boost. The only way out for me was to clear the memory though recent apps and start the youtube app again and this time the sound settings in video toolbox actually works. Dont do both at the same time if thats the reason why its happening ( make sure both the sound effects and the youtube app is cleared from the memory). Best identified through headphones. On a side note, best setting for me via the video toolbox sound boost is clarity on 2 or 3 and volume on 2 or 3.

I haven't played around with the sound effects in settings yet, it's set on smart preset already,when you increase the sound and clarity can you actually sense the increase in sound quality or is it minimal?

Marked difference... quite an increase in sound quality...BTW mine is set on Video/Voice most of the times in Preset. I find that best in terms of loudness and have tinkered with the equalizer giving it a bit of bass. But thats about it
Edit Update: The video toolbox sound effects have little to no effect when the preset is kept in smart. Video or voice gives a good difference. Kindly check and confirm if thats the case.
