other than the slight incall audio boost with some of the kernels why has no dev attempted to do a full audio mod to this phone? even the louder volume hack app hasn't been updated in a year.
im just shocked this phone has been out all of this time and we have come up with nothing. ive seen countless threads on this with no resolution.
thoughts?
my assumption is that it's not really in demand. I'm not really sure why you would even want this. the Evo is plenty loud as is. Plus I have played with the pre-amp on it and when you increase the volume to much more than what it is now it doesn't sound to good.

the media /speaker/ringtone volumes needs to be boosted badly. do a search man, there are countless threads on this. i was just curious is all.

you may think it needs a boost but im guessing others doing or a hack would have been made
The evo is the first phone iv had where volume is not an issue, in call or notification wise. This is also the first thread iv noticed concerning this issue. Imo there just must be no demand as already stated by xcom923.

well i think it's an issue and if you search the evo thread for volume boost you will see many others have asked too.
I gotta say a bump up of volume wouldn't hurt. Not like my winmo days where volume was awful.
Just a small increase would be nice.
My 2 cents
Ok then why clutter up the forum with another thread that noone wants to bother with. Enable hearing aid in settings-call. That will help with in call volume at least a little bit. Sorry i cant be of more help as well, good luck

Several custom kernels have audio boost, netarchys for one.

they only work for the incall, it's the media and back speaker that need a boost.

I believe DSP manager has a gain function for those that might work.
Dsp manager seemed to tweak bass, mid and trebble slightly but overall volume i didnt notice a change while listening to pandora.
Edit: thats through phone speaker. Headset and bluetooth have several more options but iv never tried

seems louder volume hack v4.0 market app will be released by december. hopefully it supports the evo with froyo.
Don't turn it all the way up. I remember I had a dps manager thing and when I boosted the volume up, my speaker popped and I hear crackling sounds for like 2 weeks. Took it to a Sprint store and got my Evo replaced.

This is the first time I've ever heard someone say the Evo isn't loud enough. When I'm out with friends and my phone rings,they always say "Omg, turn that down it's so loud!" Lol

you may be running a rom with the audio boost or a kernel with it baked in, im not.
So is a different rom/kernel not an option for you fixxxer?
Compaired to the I580 and the First motorola droid our speaker is low... But im half deaf anyway.

im running steelh rom and don't want to switch. i have a newer 004 model evo, the current kernels do not work for me.
i guess ill just wait until the new louder volume app hits the market.
can one of the devs here at least tell me what mods you did to the system to give your roms a volume boost? id be happy to do some modding.
I might be half crazy and half deaf but I swear PowerAmp music players pre amp feature jack things up abit..on speaker, with headphones and through my Plantronics BT. Speaking of music only though..but the answer is in his software if he can pre-amp sound.

Hey on my HTC One X after updating to the latest 1.29 update I noticed that the volume on the ear piece is really really low. Like I can hardly hear people in busy places like the mall. I am not rooted nor did I ever intend on getting rooted as everything else seems to be working good and I have other phones that are rooted. I was wondering if there is anything to increase the volume to a decent level. I have it raised all the way up and it sounds as if I have it set all the way down. Struggling to hear the other caller is a really starting to annoy me as this is a really awesome phone... So can anyone help?

Just in case...have verified your phone profile and also system audio settings. If all is set right and its still a problem, may be just factory reset the phone and see if its gets better. Just a suggestion, not a sure shot, but i have seen lots of weird things getting solved after factory resets.
Maybe the problem is for the earphones , have you tried other ones ?

Im talking about the earpiece in the phone. This happened since I updated to the latest 1.29 OS.
Going to sound silly but have you tired using your other ear.??? I say this because I had the same problem only to discover a sudden loss of hearing in one ear.!!!!!!

The problem is so stupid. Just clean every litle holes on your housing(earpeace area) with something thinly.
For example dental bore in my case or thin pin.

Whenever I play music with my One V there is an audible hiss. I'm using a cheap pair of JVC Gummy IEM's and even with them the hiss is pretty prevalent.
Whether the volume is muted or at its max, as long as an audio file is playing the hiss remains.
It should be added that the hiss does not change in volume as it stays at a constant level independent of system volume.
I'm wondering if it affects EVERY One V, or if it's just a select few handsets which are doing it.
this should be posted in the Q&A section not general, as it's a question.
Duh, my bad about that, of course it should be in the Q&A section.
If a mod could move this over that would be great!
My One V also has some hissing while playing music. But it's better since firmware version 2.08.

I have updated my firmware but found no great improvement. As per you, the hissing only happens when I'm playing music.

Thanks for the tip!
So have you had issues with the audio on your One V?

After update to 2.09 it's improve a little, not much.
And i lost my EQ after update!! Only left Beats Audio (ON/OFF)
mine doesnt, im on 2.08.401.2. seems like a hardware problem to me?
Moved to Q&A. Please keep all questions there. Thank you.

Got that. Sent to service for repair. Waiting for return.
Me too
I have the same problem with my One V. Using Sennheiser CX-300 II in-ear headphones the hiss is very loud (in my opinion), making it useless for listening to music (esp. classic) at low volume. When I complained about this the phone got sent to service, and returned to me a week later with a note saying that no problem could be found with the phone. Thanks a lot. Sent the phone back again, still waiting.
I talked to HTC (Sweden), and they completely deny ever having heard of this problem, although several sources on the web report it. I also tried a demo phone in a store, and it had the same problem.
My guess is that this problem affects all One V's due to bad internal shielding or a crappy DAC, but that HTC are being very quiet about it since only users who are picky about sound quality will notice.
Nohing like this with me!
Hissing? It never happened o me!
Interesting! Even with volume turned to zero (while playing music) and using sensitive headphones? In that case you're the first one to write about not being having the problem, which I guess is good news.
YES!!!!!!!

Yes, there's nothing like a hiss!! Many said that there were Bluetooth and Heating problems too! But it's nothing like that! Atleast with me!
Hi,
I have a rooted Verizon Gnex, running the stock rom, running 4.1.1, build JR0030, . I just bought it (new) a couple weeks ago from verizon.
The problem is that people whom I'm speaking with on the phone can barely hear me although I have no problem hearing the other person. If I change it to speaker mode, people have no problem hearing me. I have already increased the volume to its maximum while making a phone call this doesn't make a difference on my voice volume when I have don't have the speaker on. I don't speak quiet, either. I'd literally have to yell in order for someone to hear. I have no other volume problems with my phone besides this.
I've searched the forums quite a bit and people have had volume problems but I haven't found any with the same exact volume symptoms as mine.
Is this a hardware issue ? Software ? How to fix this ?
I believe that this may be what you are looking for. I have not tried it myself so I am not sure if it works. I also know that some kernels with give you the ability for higher sound volume.

thanks for the advice. I tried it and it didn't solve the problem. I ended up taking the phone to verizon, they determined it's a hardware defect. Once I return my phone to stock, they'll exchange my phone for a new one.
Well, I finally changed from a Galaxy S2 to an S4. I so love this phone but not sure what's with audio out. I use a 40 watt radio with audio in and hook my phone up to it. Using an equalizer in the S2 I could turn the volume on the phone most of the way up without problems. If I turned it up all the way thought he speakers in the radio would distort. But the radio sure put the volume out! Now that I have the S4 I've installed the same equalizer and set it the exact same way. I can turn the volume up all the way on the phone plus turn up the two band equalizer on the radio and it's nowhere near as loud as when I had the S2 hooked up. Both phones would warn me about having volume up to loud when using headphones but I always ignore that since it's a radio I'm hooking up to. Is it my imagination or is the S4 just not putting as much out as my S2 did?
Viper4Android will solve ALL your sound woes. It requires root though but its TOTALLY worth it.
Lol, looking at it in Google Play it doesn't look like it's in English so I think I might have trouble with it though. Rooting the phone is no big issue. I've rooted and unrooted it already.

I haven't tested myself, so I can't vouch for it. But give it a try. Nothing to lose and everything to gain, right?
And as always, do a backup before you mod ANYTHING on your device.
