Does anyone know of a way to make the volume scale (specifically for playing music) have more steps? For example, I'd frequently like listening to a volume halfway between muted and the lowest volume level. Is this possible?
Thanks!
I would love this as well
Try Audiomanager from the market. Works good for me.

I use Audiomanager, but that just makes it easy to control all the different volume levels - it doesn't introduce new ones, which is really what I'm looking for.
you should post these kind of questions in the general section...not development..

I believe that it will take some coding to enable more granular volume steps, so I felt like this section was appropriate. Mods, if you disagree with me, please move this to the General forum.

Is there an app or a mod for increasing the headphone volume. I used to use lvh on my hero and it worked great. I tried it on the evo and its a no go.

Oh ****. Vince has an Evo.
That's one thing I've been looking for on this phone (hoever, not very actively). I have to turnt the gain on the amp in my car to +4 to get it to where I don't have to crank the volume up to 30 under normal driving conditions.
In WinMo, it was as simple as finding the program's registry to lift gain restrictions...not so in Android =(.

sorry about that i thought it would be a development issue
Been wondering if editing certain values in AudioPara4.csv would help increase the volume output through the Headset? I did edit the files of system/etc and came up with the following flashable zip. There's also a stock one to revert back. I did test both but I'm too sleepy to notice a difference (Yeah, it's 8.30am here and didn't sleep a wink yet!). So if anyone would like to help, test the SOUND.zip and see if you notice a difference- and please report.
If it doesn't, flash back to STOCK SOUND.zip till further notice. And if anyone else would like to input any relevant info, that'd be helpful as well.
And please don't talk about Volume+ or equalizers, only looking for an internal mod that'd help with system wide volume boost.
Just for info, the only lines I'd edited in the Flashable zip is the hex values (to higher values) in Column H of PHONE_HEADSET_VOL0 to VOL5 (Row 77-82).
No difference. Not only this have tried many other tweaks but nothings helps. Stock sound is good on headset. What I want is some tweak for speaker ( it really suck )

But if you meant that as a temporary fix for the user peace.nitish, then I guess you're right. Volume+ does provide a significant boost (Avoid hitting the levels too high, may distort)- and is available for free on the developer's webpage.
As for the etc files, they may need some more looking at! Will post an update if I find anything useful..
i think all boosters/volume mods only harms speaker.
standart volume is enough to hear if someone calling you.
if you want listen to music, buy headphones.

Well, only on the lookout for a fix to increase output in the headset and not the speaker. The speaker is loud enough if you ask me, the headset could've done better.
I've modded outputs on several phones successfully (including a Sensation, Desire HD and HD mini, of the HTC line) and there are always values which will harm your speaker AND values that (if edited reasonably) would increase output without distortion to a higher-than-safe official value.
Editing the AudioPara4.csv file for devices such as Aria and G2 have proved a higher output. And I'm pretty sure it is responsible for the output on the WFS as well. Just needs some more looking into.

Can anyone tell me the best volume booter for Htc One X, which just make its loud speaker loud when getting calls, playing music, but also not distort/crackles the sound due to more high volume ?!
have tried volume+ 1.9.0.1 booster, does some changes but doesn't increases the volume, maybe slightly though makes sound more distorted..
Any help would be highly appreciated

check the other link i left for you but why would you want the sound volume to go higher...it is loud enough as it is..anyway hope you find the solution anyway or the app you want..for me the volume is loud enough..hehe my ears bleed how awesome the sound and volume is
but anyway really that mod is good and it does make a lot of difference specially if you want to play around with the equalizer..and if you do listen to alot of music then try poweramp...play with the equalizer and volume does get alot higher specially if you untick the limit volume from settings

i am sorry let me clear i am talking about the loud speaker of the phone, not the in-ear... in ear is amazing as hell i love them i am using klipsch s4 with it,,, but i am missing alot of phone calls as its loud speaker volume is low(vibration is good but doesn't impacts well on skin (if kept in pocket), by which we can notice a call is coming. And if playing video songs on loud speaker, many plays fine but some stutters/crackles(keeping sound enhancer on) a little and few mp3 songs also gives this problem even as they cannot get sound enhancer on(maybe due to good quality, but songs downloaded for free or something)
fair enough..nothing else that i can recommend then..volume plus is the only one..and from trying to search all the results lead to that...sorry dude

I use Tasker to set my volumes down low when at work, but even at level 1, the Note 2 is pretty damn loud in an office. Is there any equalizer apps that work with Tasker to set the volume levels lower than 1?
It might sound stupid but attach earphones and adjust the value accordingly. as I said intensive stupidity but it is a solution....

What if ... you set a specific ringtone for the work place and reduced it's volume. I edited one of the stock ringtones to serve as an example. Listen to both on your phone.
Ringing_to_you (Stock)
Ringing_to_you - -15db (After applying -15db)
Not a very elegant solution. I can edit a file for you if you don't have the tools
EDIT: I assumed it was the ringtone volume that's bothering you, now I've re-read the op I'm not so sure.

I think this would be the easiest option. Set tasker to change your ringtone and just make it a low volume one.
Don't ask me how as I was never any good with it, so just gave up trying.

It's my sms tone specifically. If Tasker could change the default sounds for things other than the ringer it would be perfect. The suggestion of changing the volume of the file directly is probably the best for now.
I love my tab S and maybe this is the best screen I've seen my whole life.
But one thing bothers me that, I've been using the s and note devices from past 3 years, one thing I always did was Boost the sound for Speaker and the Headphone in the Mixer paths xml file.
I've searched this tab for a similar file and have got absolutely nothing.
Any good developer please help me out, if you can find that for it would be a great help

You could install my ROM and use the DSP manager, it also uses mixerpaths though a more serious answer is look at the comments it should point u in the right direction.

I was just searching but couldn't find the right direction, actually M reluctant to move to Cm I don't like touchwiz but I want a fully functional stock ROM, saw the comments section couldn't make it what were you telling my friend
Can you please consider me a noob and help me out? :angel:
you can edit default_gain in system/etc
I thought xml edit only applied to CM/AOSP/GPe roms.
OP, did this end up working out for you?

I've attached some screen shots to what you need to modify to increase your external speakers along with headphones.
You'll need Root Explorer or equivalent.
Let me know if it helped.
It's best to raise the digital volume it sounds less distorted ...my setting are +12 to all digital volumes and sounds great
Just to to clarify, you only need to raise the digital volume? I'm going to give it a shot.

I have tried that and multiple others. Some work well, some dont.
None have given me what I am looking for which it the ability to boost things like system volume, notification volume, etc. Still looking for a way to do that.
The best that I can accomplish is boosting media volume via a music or video player. If that is all you are looking for then the equalizer and bass booster will work fine.
