Is there anyway to increase the volume of the usb Dac and Usonic headphones as they seem much quieter than my nexus 6p. I am in the EU so I believe there is a limit on volume?
So best rom for audio? Or should I just root it?

Viper4Android does wonders

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.
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.
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.
I got some new over the ear headphones and I have to turn up the media volume up all the way but it isn't loud enough. I don't really want to carry around an external amp at the gym.
I'm not sure of the impedance of the headphones. I've seen that there's a mod on here to increase the volume but does it decrease the audio quality? What options do I have?
I'm on XPower 3.0.
Hi,
can i increase volume Headphone HTC U12 + with Usonic
There are no volume controls on the usonic earphones. You'll need to adjust the volume on the phone.
I just got the U12 less than a week ago and I'm a little disappointed to be honest.
There are hardly any bass using the usonic earphones and it's very treble-heavy and can get very tinny and piercing at high volume. Not sure if my earphones are detective because everyone seems to praise the usonic.
Yes, I've tuned them to my ears.

Thanks! I'll give the usb c adapter a go. Was kind of hesitant to spend more money on the U12. Shame they didn't include it in the box. I think this will be my last HTC phone.
Yeah, I wasn't impressed at all either. If I'm not using Bluetooth, I prefer the USB-C Razer adapter with the HTC Pro Studio headphones. So much better!
