Hi all,
Just bought a Jabra BT3030 (dog tag style) bluetooth headset. It's pretty good, I like the external headphone plug in - means I can connect my old speakers to the device and play my music from my Orbit through my speakers. The supplied earphones are good and comfortable too.
However, the volume doesn't quite go loud enough for what I want. Does anyone know how I can increase the volume? Either via somehow increasing the output from the XDA orbit itself, or by some booster from the bluetooth to the headphones? My speaker/headphones are pretty powerful but even at full blast it doesn't quite play as loud as I'd like.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers,
Tim

Hi,
I bought a Seidio Audio Adapter - miniUSB To 3.5mm - with One-Touch/Mic at the XDA store. It works great and I have no problem listening to music with my regular sony headset since you can adjust the volume with audiomanager. However when I am on a phone call it is super loud and I cannot adjust the volume. I looked around for a registry tweak but they usually talk about BT or speakerphone. What I want is the actual volume on the wired headphone. Can someone help? I am going deaf here!
Bump!
Somebody?
Hi
I'm a new user with an Excalibur which I bought second hand the other day and generally am fairly impressed with. I have had it unlocked and bought a 4Gb microSDHC Card and upgraded to 6.1 using Kavana's ROM remade by Ricky.
I do have one small problem though, the A2DP is sounding scratchy whenever I use it to play music. It's not like an interference scratchy, but the highs of the music sound clipped and very scratchy, especially noticable at the higher volumes which I am having to use because the volume also does not go especially high, but it's present but softer at the lower volume levels.
I'm using Coreplayer but have the same experience with WMP or in fact any audio application I use. The files are fairly good 320kbps encodes in MP3 and AAC which sound excellent on the computer and I have tried a variety of files as well as some Youtube streams, all with the same results.
The headset is a Sony Ericsson DS-200 which is the dongle type headset where you can plug in your own headphones. The headset and headphones combination again sounds excellent when paired with a Sony Bluetooth walkman and an old SE mobile phone with A2DP.
I'm guessing it might be drivers, or something? I have ordered a wired headphone adaptor but would really like to use A2DP if possible.
Finally, if this is fixable, is there any way to boost the volume? My headset does not have a volume control, but the Coreplayer etc. volume control adjusts the volume - it just doesn't go very high and I can imagine it wouldn't drown out, for instance, public transport noise.
Thanks in advance
Hi
Sorry, should have really done a search! I found this:
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/Tweaks+and+Hacks?t=anon
and tweaked the registry settings and it's sounding considerably better now. Unfortunately it seems to have introduced a bug where the wireless stereo headset icon no longer appears, all that appears is the standard headset icon (the one with the microphone on it) but A2DP is working so I can live with that!
thanks for the link, Ive seen this tweak in other forums but this one the directions were way easier to follow.
Stock ROM - trying to play some music through wired headset. Using an ordinary pair of headphones (Sennheiser), the sound is great, ordinary sound.
I plugged in my Bose on-ear headset (i.e. phones plus inlike mike) and the sound is weird - sounds like it is being played through a cavern, the treble has disappeared, some bass elements of the sound are emphasised and there is a strange reverberation, as I say, like it is being played in a cavern or echoing around a vast cathedral.
If I change the headset, everything is fine again.
Is there some way I can make the Jasjar work with the Bose headset, or is there something unique to the Jasjar's line out socket?
(The Bose headset works fine with every gadget I have).

Weird sound with Bose headset // Different port assignment
Hi rjstep3,
don't know if you still need an answer to this topic... As far as I know, headsets and Jasjar/Universal is a bit tricky... The assignment of each port for headphone (2 ports for left and right) and microphone (additional port) is different from the assignment of Bose's headset.
The only adapter for HTC Universal that seems to use the correct assignment I have found here:
www .ppctechs.com/HTC-Universal_439/accessories/3.5mm-to-2.5mm-Mic-3.5mm-Audio-Headphone-Adapter_374-356 .htm
I have not tried it out but at least from the comment on the site it seems to be a work-around.
Greetings,
Christian
you're right - I no longer need a reply to this message, as the Jasjar is now finally consigned to the delete bin of my gadget life.
thanks for coming back anyway - and interesting reply. Why can't companies use the same pinouts and ports and make it all standard and easy to use?
thanks

Hi. I have tried many different rom's and Kernel's on my gnexus. I have been able to adjust the headset volume, and speaker volume with different rom's (curently using Foxhound), but have never found a way to increase the bluetooth a2dp out volume. I have a bluetooth reciever on my amp at home, used to play music from my Nexus S with great volume (still does) but I have never been able to with Gnexus. Gnexus plays but with the amp all the way up it is still not loud at all. When I plug direct conection to Gnexus using rca's and the headphone jack it works fine. Has anyone had any success in this area and would be willing to share the experience?
Thanks.................
Wondering if there's a secret. It's like everything below 200mhz has been removed, both through headphone jack and bluetooth.
Sound quality for me both on Bluetooth and headphones is great
Sounds good to me
Same here. Good quality in car whether i use my bt adapter or through audio jack.
Using Vanilla Player to play local mp3s sounds good on my headphones. Maybe a little "small" on my BT speaker, but its a small cheap speaker. Haven't noticed poor quality in my car.
I do use bluetooth pretty much exclusively in the car. I have a pair of headphones that sound really good with the phone. Dont use anything else to play music but I do sometimes have problems with the headphone jack when I move the cable around.
The sound quality when connected via cable to my car stereo or headphones seems to be fairly decent, though a bit noisier than the audio I get from my iPhone. I still have the problem of losing audio on calls after disconnecting from the audio jack (I can't hear callers on incoming calls and sometimes callers cannot hear me when I call them) and then having audio not re-routed back to the audio jack the next time I connect. Because this has happened on more than one Fire phone, I just use a cheap Bluetooth USB adapter connected to my stereo which does degrade the audio quality somewhat however.
Do you guys use any sound processing apps at all? I seriously have no bass coming out of my phone. I turn the bass up almost all the way on my car stereo, and in an EQ app for the phone (tried without the app too), and it's still not quite what a normal mp3 playing directly on my car receiver sounds like.
I'm on fire OS, are any of you on cm11?
Also this uses dolby or something doesn't it? I worry that something I've disabled has messed it up, but don't know what it would be.

No sound processing apps for me. I'm usually on Fire OS 4.6.3 rooted with no Google Play services. Now I'm on 4.6.5 unrooted (trying to resolve a GPS issue) and it sounds the same over BT.
Works fine for me too. Hardwired through AUX or with Bluetooth. Headphones/earbuds sound good too. I mainly use Amazon Music player, Google Music, and Pandora.
I've had no problems with BT connection from my Fire OS Fire Phone to my Sony receiver. Bass response is good whether or not I am running "Equalizer FX." I use Equalizer FX because the bass on the car stereo (and my headphones) rolls off below 60Hz.
I have learned from other phones that running the volume at max level can cause clipping and sound degredation.
