Hello, is it possible to increase the volume of internal speakers, preferable without rooting?
The problem is only with Waze, and I setup it on highest volume (in configuration). It is pretty silent. YouTube is for example pretty loud.
Thanks a lot.

I am listening to streaming radio and transferring the sound to my bluetooth headset, but often even with headset, media player, and physical system volume turned up to maximum, it is barely audible.
Is there any app that works on the WM6 Touch/Vogue that will increase the overall system volume, rather than the call-talking volume, so that things like music and streaming radio can be made louder than the default maximum? Boost it higher than the built-in level?
Thanks...
Hi @ all,
I recently purchased the Moto G and installed (after testing all functions) the newest Cyanogen ROM. I'm quite happy with the overall performance of the device.
One problem is still annoying me though: The volume of every type (ringtone, in-call,...) of the headphone jack is much too loud, even on its lowest setting, since I'm using very high efficiency IEM's. The DSP-Manager doesn't appear to work (does not request root access, no change in volume when activated)
I've countered some parts of this issue with the following steps:
-The music volume is lowered by the Poweramp equalizer
-The volume of all custom ringtones, notifications and alarms is lowered by 15dB via Mp3Gain on my rig. This doesn't really help, because now the volume of all custom sounds is too low without the headphones. I barely get up in the morning, but it is definitely better than blowing out my eardrums.
So the question is: How can I activate the DSP-Manager? Or is there another way to solve this?
Thx a lot
EDIT: Solved the problem by increasing the overall volume steps to 45 via modification of the necessary .jar file via this great guide (http://chrisdube.com/increase-number-of-volume-steps-in-android/). DSP-MAnager works, but only with media volume.
.............................or to put it another way somewhat DEAF!
I am quite able, with my hearing aids in, to hear the sound/speech produced by videos and so on.
My problem is with making & receiving calls, when the volume of voice sound is not enough to hear callers properly.
I know that one can increase volume during a call by using the phone's rocker volume switch, but this is not enough.
I've tried various apps which claim to increase volume, but find that while they can set volumes high in general, none of them seems to set the in-call volume higher than the phone will allow as standard.
Is there a simple solution to this, for me with a moderate level of technicality?
My phone is a Vodafone Smart Ultra 6, running stock Android 5.1
Thank you in advance.
The lowest volume setting when using headphones is just slightly too loud for me. I am using Vsonic VSD5S headphones which have an impedance of 45 Ohm. Is there anyway to lower the minimum volume? If possible, I would like to avoid rooting or installing any apps.
Unfortunately, there's not a way without root or installing apps, maybe the next OTA will solve the issue.
You have to root the device to do anything about it.
Have you tried going into the settings of the supplied music player to see if you could alter the audio settings.
Most music apps have preamp of replay gain settings to help this some what, but so far I found all of them suffer from terrible snr at low volume (aside from stock music player). I get around this with an external amp like the fiio e5 which had it's own volume control.
With power amp alpha you can also change the volume steps to 100, that may allow you to go lower than the default volume step can
External speaker volume:
Music = good
Videos = good
Online media play = good
Games = good
Ringtones/ SMS = good
Touch-screen tap sound = good
Phone calls = shockingly bad
(Also, the in-call volume, i.e. with external speaker turned off, isn't very great either)
I am not sure why this problem is occuring.
I'm certain it was not there/ or this apparent during Nougat (Viper ROM). Currently I'm on Oreo (LeeDroid) and have been told it is not a ROM-related issue.
I have tried the following attempted solutions but to no avail:
- Viper4Android (definitely enhances volume generally except for external speaker during phone calls; I have tried various settings)
- Modifying the mixer_paths speaker parameters
- Oreo Volume boost USonic headphone & speakers by Golv
- Turning up the volume manually during phone calls (during both external speaker on & off)
Any one else noticed this issue?
Any help/ pointers in the right direction please.........
The volume will be limited to prevent feedback into the microphones. It is not advised to mess with the volume on a htc as you might bugger it altogether. The phone is at its loudest from factory as it is hardware limited. Any increases over a stock rom is a placebo.

My external speaker volume issue (during phone calls) has resolved since updating to LeeDroids latest ROM (I couldn't see any difference between the various mixer_paths files of my previous & current ROM versions, so not sure what caused the problem).
In terms of volume loudness (external speaker), I can definitely appreciate a clear difference (i.e. a louder volume) using Viper4Android.
