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.

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).
So I only noticed just now the Nexus 5 did not come with any earbuds. I have been using some cheap Skullcandy earbuds for music and they are decent enough to block out transit noise and play music at a moderate volume. However when I try making a phone call, at the lowest volume the sound is just ridiculously loud. It is painful for me to attempt to listen to more then 10-15 seconds of call audio wearing these. I also tried with my Galaxy Nexus earbuds, and it's the same story.
Has anyone found a pair of earbuds with mic that delivers gentle, quiet call audio at the lowest call volume of the Nexus 5 on stock ROM? Failing that, is there anything I can do to decrease the headset call volume further than the volume control will allow?
Bump, anyone else experiencing this? It shouldn't be deafening to make a phone call with earbuds...
OK I'm going to bump this again. It got WAY worse on 4.4.1. While I appreciate the volume boost for the phone's speaker, the earbud volume situation is out of control. The lowest volume setting on music, in a quiet room, is the loudest I can tolerate on earbuds - no option of turning it down lower. The lowest volume setting on phone calls is earth-shattering on earbuds - completely unusable for conversations unless I want to go deaf.
Is there ANY way I can force call volume down further on the headphone jack? Hacks, kernels, Xposed modules? I really don't want to be locked out of being able to make calls with earbuds.
All perfect with 4.4.1, skullcandy have a very bad quality earbuds, better buy sennheiser.

The sound quality is great, it's just too damn loud. Same with the earbuds that came with my Galaxy Nexus.
The call volume is ridiculously out of proportion with music volume. That is not the fault of the earbuds. The OS should not be pushing out call volume significantly louder than the music volume at a comparable setting.
OK, so a friendly individual in the Franco thread directed me to this:

I simply used the same instructions for the mod but reduced the number rather than increase it. For call volume, the value that I changed was under path name "voice-headphones". The original setting was 20 and 20 for HPHL and HPHR volume. I turned them down to 05. I thought I heard a reduction from 20 to 10 but did not hear any further reduction from 10 to 05. Then I also tried reducing the RX1 and RX2 digital volume. I tried taking them from 84 down to 64 which was maybe a bit low, so I settled on 70. At that setting, the loudest IVR systems I've reached on the phone are just right at the lowest call volume setting, and I still have room to raise the volume in noisier environments.
Hi!
Xperia MiniPro (PowerAmp) I used so far with AGK headphones. It sounds so loud and clear.
Now, my new Xperia L is inaudible and i cant heat that powerfull bass.
(With the same app and headphones.) I tried the same options, and tried to boost in equalizer but still crap.
Any solution to make it more loud and clear bass?
Only solution is to get a pair of headphones that are more sensitive. Xperia L has much worse built in amplifier that MiniPro had. I experienced same issue with my old headphones and solution was to get new ones with at least 106db sensitivity.
You could try that amp boost in PowerAmp but it kills dynamic and makes sound flat and dull.
Viper4Android Bro You can make the headphones, loudspeaker and bluetooth device sound a 6 db louder or if you install both Viper4Android and Viper4Android XHiFi you can make headphones 12 db louder (In my case I only have 6 db louder as I set a eq to be more bass than everything and by making + 12 db theres to much bass and headphones ale quieter than before). But give it a try. btw. this need root.

PowerAmp app that OP is using has built in software amplication but just like every software solution that exists it kills dynamic and sound quality.
hi forum,
I was wondering if anyone has played with all these equalizer bass apps?
I cant seem to be able to turn up my bass settings high with out my door speakers banging like they going to blow up.
I just want to turn the bass up high on the subwoofer only and not my door speakers.
I am using a car radio android system in a car and I cant figure out how to separate my bass from the subwoofer and door speakers.
The bass sounds great when I turn it up but then the door speakers sound like they going to blow so I turn down the bass settings on the equalizer and then I loose my subwoofer bass sound.
Is there any apps that give you two channel equalizers for speakers and then subwoofer? That would be so much cooler to have two equalizer settings for the speakers and one for the subwoofer.
I have not found nothing yet in google play store.

Hello,
I am using USonic earphones on my Honor 50 with no problems. They are recognizeble and have very good sound - loudness and bass.
However, there is a some noise at the low frequencies (for example at the beginning of a song when the sound is quiet) Problably this is because there is no settings for adaptive sound on Honor devices. Any chance to remove this noise with app or something?
