Raise Volume on Bluetooth Headset

I picked up a pair of jaybirds I absolutely love. I've upgraded to kitkat and I rooted it, what is the best way to go to raise the volume on my bluetooth headphones? They sound nice I don't want to blow my ear drums but would like a little more kick, thank you. - Chris

I use viper4android fx and it work brilliantly. My volume is set to only 25% and the music is so loud and awesome. But only downside is you need to be Rooted to use it.

mixer_paths.xml controls the audio in KitKat.
/system/etc/mixer_paths.xml
I'd suggest google more info on this before playing with the settings. Good luck!!!

I did. I managed to increase the volume with plug in ear buds but what about bluetooth?

You may have better luck with this. I use Moderate or Moderate Lite. Just make sure it's compatible with whatever device you are using. It works on my AT&T Note 3 though.

Low audio thru BT??

Anyone else notice the audio output via BT to be rather low? Connected this to my card (Ford explorer) and I have to almost double the speaker volume from what I had used with my Note 3..

Yes, noticed significantly lower BT volume playback through Mini Jambox and slightly lower volume with my Alpine car receiver.

Me as well with my alpine...have to put it up to 28 too get some bump...

Strange, I don't have this issue with my AT&T G3 and Motorola bluetooth headset. Maybe I'm not picky about it or something. It works the same as it did on my Nexus 5

Had this problem today in a 2014 Dodge. the G3 has separate BT volume. SO basically I had to max out my phone volume to make it normal.
Thought i'd mention this just in case you missed it.

BT headset volume is fine but music playback through my car BT is pretty low. Like what was mentioned you need to make sure the BT volume on your G3 is turned up all the way or you will have no bump at all.

I've had lower volume issues with a wired headset. It's like I need a booster.

I noticed this too and Amazon sells little headphone amps just for this very thing. My son bought one and said it helps quite a bit.

RE: Volume Fix
Try this

It worked for me, and if you read through the 1st page, the have a Recovery that works.
I have the AT&T version and I flashed the zip.
Works much better now.

Have you guys tried the XPOSED module Viper4Android app? I believe it has a way to boost the overall sound for headphones, phone speaker, Bluetooth, and USB Dock (all independently). It also has lots of other great sound tweaks too.
EDIT - Viper4Android isn't part of the xposed framework. It does require root, but otherwise is a regular app.

Afte rooting I installed Viper4Android and everything is amazing! I haven't ran Bluetooth but my headphone sound has increased 10 fold.

Compelling. I have hints of a minor problem with a wired headset volume. But I still feel there's no overwhelming evidence that returning to stock is completely dependable for the 850d.

I just wanted to clear up some mis-information. The Viper4Android app does not require the Xposed framework. I installed it while working with other modules and incorrectly associated it with xposed in my mind. But it is a freestanding app, not related to xposed. It does however require root privileges.
I just wanted to mention that since I posted some inaccurate information above.....

Thanks

When youre connected to a BT device the volume control is for that BT device or connection.

I am on a custom ROM by Fulmics and my BT volume for calls is about 1/3 as loud as for streaming media.
Notifications are normal, it started when ringtone was quieter when BT was on, rings through BT and barely through phone, previously it rang loud on phone and just noticeable on BT... I use the BT for work and I can't have me not hearing what support is instructing me to do on a service call...
Will look into dev mode and tweaks and see if something is there to correct this low volume.

Yes I noticed this and there is a build.prop perameter that can be changed it's called : ro.lge.bt_gain_control_factor
I belong the factory setting is 0.8 I have mine set to 1.4 without issue but YMMV

Mate 9 (pro) really low Bluetooth headphones volume

Hi, I have the mate 9 pro and problem already stated in the title. The volume level is really low through BT headset. It's really annoying since I use at the gym and while running BT headset but can barely hear the music through all the ambient noise coming.
Didn't have same problem with OnePlus 3T or Nexus 6p. Now my Bose soundsport are basically useless.
And yes I tried to install any possible BT volume boost app from the store and they are no help.

"Raise volume above the safe level" notice

Is there any way to get rid of this notice?
It jumps out every time after rebooting the phone when I connect the headphones play some audio and want to put the volume higher.
This prevents me to put the volume higher with a handsfree headset!

It is rather annoying. Also I would love to be able to set Media as the default volume option instead of Ringtone.

At the moment, I think I'd like to receive that notification! Mine just sets itself at what it wants & doesn't let me know!

I've never had that message maybe because I use Bluetooth headphones?

Thats weird, I dont get the notice with my bluetooth headsets.
Always with aux input though. Think every device ive had in the last few years comes with that warning.
I use the lg tone 910 and the platinum(I think 1100). Also my cheap bluetooth aux adaptor for my car without issue.

Confirmed!Mine too.

Notification tone not playing when hooked to Bluetooth

For some reason my notification tone won't play through my phones main speaker when I'm using my Bluetooth headphones. I've disabled all options in earphone mode but it's still not working. I'm on oos 9.0.2 any help?

Mine always makes a default sound while using headphones or a BT speaker/headset. Never through the phone speaker and never the chosen sound like any other phone..

Mine plays my actual notification tone I have set but it's just through my Bluetooth only. It sucks because Id like it to play through my phone speaker because alot of times I'll take my headphones out and and not disconnect.

It's your problem. Turn Bluetooth off when you take off your headphones
