Hi all, first post here so please be gentle. I have a bluetooth speaker (Braven Ready Elite) that I use in a loud environment to listen to music and sometimes movies. I use the MX player app to watch the movies and am able to get the volume much louder when I use the boost volume option in the MX player app. In order for volume boost to work, I had to change the decoder from HW decoder to either HW+ decoder or SW Decoder in the app settings. It works excellent. I am very happy with the boost in volume for my speaker. For music, I use Spotify. I would like to have some sort of booster to make the music louder on my speaker. The best I can do is disable the EQ in the Spotify app and the speaker will go louder, but not nearly as loud as the movies in the MX player app when I enable the volume booster in the app. I have tried many volume booster apps but I think those are more for the speaker on the phone to go louder. I don't need that. I would like something comparable to the volume booster that is in the MX player that makes my bluetooth speaker go much louder. My phone is a Google Pixel. It is not rooted and would like to avoid doing so. Sorry for the long post but I think I've explained what need help with. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm a Metalhead n need playback of my Metal tracks to be good quality on the phone if not great ! Everything else plays fine than a Rock/Metal track. Its no doubt that the audio quality on the headphones is great. I also understand that those low quality speakers on the Optimus suck.
So now what's the solution to eliminate the crackling + hiss sound?
Can I apply some software application? Can I change the speaker hardware? Can I alter the music files in a way that they dont produce crackling sound but still sound loud enough on speakers?
P.S : Many of the music files I download are originally encoded at a low volume i.e. some of the music files are low volume, while others are higher volume (based on how they were encoded by the uploaders). I always amplify the volume using the freeware "Wavepad" due to the low volume of files. I experimented by first applying a reverb to the files n then amplifying them to see if they no more produce a crackling sound.
Please help me if someone knows what I'm talkin abt.
I almost solved the issue of the crackling/hiss sound on speaker playback by playing around with the software "Wavepad".
In this software, I applied the following to the mp3 files in the given sequence:
1. Automatic Gain Control
2. Equalizer - Band Stop
3. Stereo Pan
4. Amplify - 200% to 300% (max)
First, i'm not a "louder" lover, but sometime, when i'm listing music or youtube video with my headset (sennheiser), the volume is too low. What can I do to bypass the volume and make it louder?
I've found Poweramp, but it's for mp3... but i need to have a overall louder volume everywhere... and if possible, not artificial but a real louder volume.
Thanks!
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!

I have videos on my phone that I like to watch while listening to music on tunein radio. The problem is, I can't control the two volumes independently. Is there a way to lower the volume or mute the audio of the videos on MX-Player while I watch them and listen to my music, so that the audio of the video doesn't interfere with the music of the other player?

Unfortunately, volume cannot be controlled independently.

One thing I don't understand. If it is possible to lower the volume than system, so why don't it possible to make volume louder than of system? It is possible in windows but I don't know on Android.

I was searching all over the play store for a way to boost the music sound and nothing was working in fact it would make the sound worse and lower than it already was and this is another thing we can't change without root permissions but luckily I found PowerAmp and this app literally made the music almost 50% louder so if you like your music louder I suggest you give it a shot and it can easily be found on the play store! Make sure you learn to use the equalizer and pre amp features because it makes it extremely loud but if you go into the settings and turn on the gain levels you can make it so loud that it's going to hurt your ears so just a warning lol.. Google Play Store PowerAmp!
My issue is not so much the speaker but the ear piece for calls. It just seems very low. I have issues hearing everyone unless it is cranked.... and it is still not loud enough.
Does PowerAmp affect the ear speaker too?
Update: I am guessing not since this is a "music player"

No this is only when you're playing music or videos through the PowerAmp player. Have you tried adjusting the hearing settings in settings then accessibility and Hearing? See if that may help or you can go through Settings then Sounds and Vibration and tap Sound Quality And effects and go through the entire process.

@mmw68666
What are you trying to say? Lol..
It should be noted that the lower the bitrate of the audio file being played, the lower you will be able to increase the pre-amp level before getting massive distortion. I bought PowerAmp long ago and have used it almost exclusively, and the pre-amp I generally set pretty high, but most of my audio is FLAC with some 320WMA mixed in and the rare 192 and lower for rare stuff I had to rip from Youtube or other less than ideal sources. With FLAC files you can boost the pre-amp quite high and lot lose any quality or introduce any distortion. Using my Sony MDR-XB500 headphones and FLAC files, and the PowerAmp pre-amp, the audio levels easily get to painful/damaging-to-your-ears levels without distortion, but "standard" bitrate music (192kbps-ish) starts to distort pretty low on the pre-amp.
