Hello, does anyone know if there is a volume limitation (usually there is due to european legislation, don't know in the US).
If so is there a tweak to increase the volume (of the speaker mostly, and also earphones)?
I do not use it to play music out loud (i hate those doing it) but sometimes i miss some calls when in a noisy/crowded place, even with the vibrate and the "increase when in pocket" option. My remedy for now is to increase the gain of an audio mp3 with Audacity, and set it as a rigtone (i put it in /ringtones/ on the sdcard) it works but with a lot of distorsion...
PS: I'm on Virtuous 1.0.1
There are apps that can do this.. one is called dspmanager.apk and comes with cyanogenmod... but they all cause distorton..

Only distortion if you don't know what your doing..
Open Dspmanager than enable equalizer, increase each bitrate of the EQ slightly.
Put the signal strength to moderate than play a song with a lot of bass to test.
If its distorted, decrease the bit rate or turn signal strength to slightly.
I combine dspmanager with power-amp for some insane eq.
thanks i didn't know about this app, somehow it does on the phone what i was doing with Audacity.
My question still remains, is there any hint of some AVLS on the G2?
Well PowerAmp is a must for me when playin music thru my headphones. Like previous post says, DSP Manager is the fix. Just dont try and overdo the settings.

Anyone know of a mod or app to increase the volume output on my desire hd. I also have a Samsung galaxy s and the volume on that is double that of my desire hd.
I also keep missing calls because the max volume isn't high enough.

you can use DSPmanager if your phone is rooted. DSPmanager helps to increase the volume for calls, media etc.... there is a thread about it on the HTC Desire HD development forum.
alternately you can download a sound editor program on your pc, increase the loudness of the ringtone/music and upload the edited version back on the phone.
Thanks for the reply ill give dspmanager a go now.
Thanks again Dan
Seem to remember that ROMs for other devices had similar problems, and that it may be possible to edit libadudio.so and some other files, but since I'm not a developer I don't know if it is true.
Is DSP manager the only solution?
I often have problems with hearing what the person on the other side says.
This should have been reported to HTC, as I have not had this problem before with other phones. (Not even the HTC Magic)
But isnt it confirmed that DSP Manager drains the battery??
Dspmanager might cause higher then usual battery drain on cyanogenmod, not sure if it affects sense roms.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
DSPManager does cause higher drain some people have even reported 3 times the normal drain.
Than DSP even though it solves the problem for me, is not a good solution.
I have managed to live with the volume for a couple of months now, but I hope that there is an other solution on the way.
I have had this too, i can "fix" it by rebooting, or playing music with the HTC music player and then changing the equalizer settings (from dolby and back)
hi i have a htc g2 and the loud speaker on the back sucks has anyone found a way to make it louder or is there a beter speaker that i can get to make it louder i love this phone otherwise
thanks in advance from a newbe

will it make it louder than stock high setting?
Yes. Full eq for speaker, phone, and blutooth. You have to flash the zip which you can find in xboarders thread

To clarify, clamman asked if DSP manager can increase the volume of the speaker, not change the EQ. I am curious as well..

I don't think you know exactly what an equalizer is or what it does. An equalizer adjusts the intensities of specific frequency bands independently. For example, it lets you increase the intensity of bass frequencies and lower the treble frequencies if you wish.

Equalizers are NOT volume knobs.

no one has any ideas to make it louder? i need help please lol
The speaker already gets fuzzy at max volume. It's pointless to try and use software to force it to get louder, it's not a high quality speaker.
I'd be more inclined to take it apart, and replace the speaker with a higher quality one, but that's only if you're really willing to put some effort into things.

where can i get a louder and better speaker that will fit?
I have no idea how loud you want your G2 speakers especially when the speakers are not the best ever. However I believe if you are running a sense rom and you flash the Unity Kernel (In my signature) it supports a 20% audio boost you may try that. They are also currently looking for another way to boost audio so maybe in awhile the audio boost will be greater.

So.. increase the volume of all frequencies and then you increased the overall volume?

It depends on whether the said equalizer (such as DSP) is actually boosting the frequencies above their "normal" levels, or just allows you to "cut" the various frequencies below their present level.
For anyone on Gingerbread, the app Volume+ allows you to boost actual volume, in addition to an equalizer, and with different profiles for headset, speaker and Bluetooth. The volume increase is not huge, but its definitely helpful. Its a paid app on the Market, but free on the dev's website:

got app installed but makes it quiter not louder anyone know why?
Hello,
For those lucky ones with a galaxy nexus....i wanted to know, when in stock music player, I hear that changes in the equalizer can make huge differences in the volume of the speaker. It can make the speaker much louder as well....but i wanted to know, if I set it to user or custom, and turn up the equalizer to louder, will it apply to all audio?
Example, by default, equalizer is off, if i adjust it to on, and raise the bars, will my youtube app play videos on my "new equalizer settings" or was that just adjusted for stock music?
Can anyone do the test to see?
Many thanks in advance !
I think thee reviews stating speaker is low is by default settings, but can relaly improve through equalizer form what i hear.

Maybe I am missing something but my Music app doesn't have an equaliser option.
in stock music app.
the equalizer does make a difference. i have not test it with a headphones yet, but even with its onboard speaker, you are able to tell the difference.
i only see it on the stock music app at the moment. not available on youtube app.
this is a feature only exist on ICS, so for others running the new music app on any other roms, you will not get this feature. not even on honeycomb. (i have tested this).
Yes the music is louder in the rmusip app, but nothing else plays any louder I tested this because I think the ring volume is way to low

Hi,
I have the One X and unless you have earphone's plugged in (really nice sound and loud).
It's the external speaker that is pretty quite, is there any apps or anything I can do to make it louder.
New to Android sorry
Thanks
Graham
I thought it was loud, at least louder than DHD and Sensation,no?
Here you go the usual apps:
-Volume+ by meltus
-DSP Manager
DSP manager works better I think on Sense 4.0, just raise the treble in the equaliser.
Don't install both, it will do FC

Any luck with the apps? I find it quiet too.... Also in the car for navigation the max volume is too quiet....
Is your phone rooted or not? Not sure if it has to be to sort the volume out?
Thanks.
Yeah, external speaker of one x is lame compare to my old phone Sony arc. I tried playing the same mp3 song with them at same time both on maximum volume and really noticed the big difference.

Volume+ can boost it a bit (not by very much though, DSPManager will probably be a little louder on this phone). The only problem is that the speakers crackle and 'pop' after a sound is played, probably a combination of firmware and terrible quality HTC speakers.
I have noticed that something is compressing the hell out of the external speaker too (probably 'beats'), which seems to be limiting the volume.

Hi,
I am using DSP manager and it has made a difference, unlike volume+ it doesn't over do it and sound like it's going to damage the speaker.
The thing that annoys me is plug headphone's in and it is so loud and a brilliant sound for a phone.
My phone is rooted but I don't think it needs to be done.
Thanks
Graham
It's not as loud as Xperia S for sure (the loudest Android phone ever) but it's louder than Sensation and Nexus 1 out of the box.
I don't have a One X yet but tried it in several shops,volume+ and DSP will surelly give the extra power to hear your phone ring in the busy streets.
Graham good to see you resolved it
Thanks, want to try dsp manager.... Is it not on the market or?
So... I am sorry if this has been discussed, but I just found an equalizer in the native music player. Everyone keeps recommending volume+ to boost the sound or a third party equalizer to get better sound, but if you go into Play Music and turn a song on, you get the screen with the album art and whatnot. I noticed the three dots at the top of the screen, so I tapped it. A menu appeared with the following options: Sound Effects, Show Options, Make instant Mix, and Settings. So I tapped on Sound effects. And there it was! I tried doing a search on equalizers, but the only results that came up were posts that had "equal" in the posting. I am not rooted, and I am completely stock. Just a heads up if anyone is irritated with the sound. Also, bass boost and 3D effect only work if you have headphones or speakers plugged in.
I didn't know if it would be better to put this thread here or in apps and themes. So I chose here.
Now if I could only find a way that makes the sound effect for incoming notification NOT completely stop or pause the music for the duration of the notification, I would be so happy!!
Sick find, didn't know about this thanks.

Yeah I just discovered this too a few days ago. It works FANTASTIC. but too bad it only effects Google music and not the entire phone audio.
Dsp manager is better. And when installed takes the place of music fx.

Not there
Anyone have any idea why this would disappear or how to force it to be there? I have a One XL running the viper rom and beats audio isn't working (yes, I've plugged in headphones) which I don't really care about, I just want this equalizer. I'm assuming the presence of beats (which is useless since it's not working) is preventing the equalizer but I don't know enough about this to be sure.
