Is anyone interested in making sound mod that would make lowest sound level lower and boost a bit highest levels?

I have an LG Optimus 7 and there is no speaker other than the earpiece. For certain types of sounds this is really quiet.
Whilst I'm not expecting high volume levels, a bit more would be good.
Are there any known registry edits to increase the system volume gain? I have seen registry tweaks for "increasing volume" but these only change the scale - the upper limit is the same.
This used to be easy enough under WinMo but can't find out how to do it on WP.
I'm on Kangy8 and I don't know if this issue is related to all ICS roms.
So when I adjust the media volume while listening to music I basically get this more or less:
- |..|..|..|..|..|..|......|.........| +
where some of the steps seem to be mapped to more than one volume level.
What the ... I don't even get it.
I want something like this:
- |..|..|..|..|..|..|..|..|..|..|..| +
I also don't understand the Voodoo Control Plus audio settings.
Current amplifier is a negative number. Why? So what I understand is, that it's amplifying the current volume?
I saw that CodenameAndroid comes with a 30 step volume addon but as far as I know this will conflict with voodoo sound.
I don't have that volume issue in the stock ROM on my i9023, possibly a kangy bug.
The amplifier level is simple and useful once you understand it. I'll give you some background first and some general numbers.
dB (decibel) is a unit, in an audio sense, which measures the pressure of sound waves. It is a logarithmic scale and requires a reference level to compare to. Basics with audio decibel values:
1dB : Threshold of noticing a volume change
3dB : A little louder
6dB : Double the sound pressure
10dB : We perceive sound approximately twice as loud
Now that's out of the way; the analog control tells the amplifier inside the phone how much it should amplify the sound. Using 0dB as a reference, which is generally the loudest it goes safely, how much less (in dB) would you like it to amplify. If you want it to halve the perceived volume, you'll drop it down to -10dB (effectively half as loud as full blast). The reason why you would want to do this is generally if there is excessive noise generated by the amp, lowering the amplifying power and raising the software volume will give you the same volume and power, but lower additional noise as the amp is working below it's limit. Higher quality DACs of course can reach their max amp capabilities and add no noticeable noise to the earphones/speakers, of course.
Hope that made sense
For those using the stock ear-buds what are your settings in voodoo sound?
All options ticked (aside from mono and bass boost), with analog volume between -10dB and -5dB (phone volume higher to compensate) will give best results in regards to sound quality. Lower analog volume will lower any hissing which won't increase with software volume.
Speaker EQ optional, mono if you want mono, bass boost if you want a more bassy sound. Some seem to have had problems in the past with hifi recording, but i've never witnessed any (and this has nothing to do with earphones).
Hi all,
Would it be possible to separate the low and high tones, so the low tones are played through the one speaker and the high tones through the other?
I know the maximum volume may be a little bit lower when that's done, but it shouldn't make a huge difference either. 2 speakers doesn't mean the maximum volume doubles, in fact, it doesn't even raise that much.
Also, I don't know for the lower tones, but the speaker that plays the high tones could probably be pushed a bit loader since the driver doesn't come out that far. That way the total volume could maybe almost be as it is now.
After all this said/asked, THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF SEPARATING THE SPEAKERS.
When the speakers play the whole frequency of the sound, it may reduce bass or sound less "clear". This comes because the driver has to "trill" fast for the high tones and slow for the low tones at the same time. If we can separate the speakers so one speaker plays only the low and the other only the high frequencies, each speaker would have a smaller frequency range to play. This could give deeper basses and clear sounds.
What do you guys think about this?
Anyone using V4A have a perfect speaker setup? I don't want to just boost the volume because the speaker tends to get shrill and high pitched at higher values. I'm aiming to make the speaker sound more bassy and deeper.
Edit: I've already set the equalizer to bass boost.
