is there a way too make volume louder on sense roms like hd roms i am partially deaf and only hd roms volume are good for me but i want to try and use regular roms
If your looking to make music louder you could try power amp. As for sounds in general I believe the only mod that does that kind of thing only works if you have a headset plugged in (though I could be wrong). However, any louder could cause the speaker to blow and that would be a headache since who knows how sprint would handle that...
There's an app in the market called Equalizer. It changes all sound coming out of your phone, through the speaker or headphones. I would mess around with it & see if you can get it to sound any better. Don't make it too loud as the speaker may blow, or enable too many options as the sound will start to stutter & skip. Another alternative to this is DSPManager. It's a lot easier to navigate but has less options. You can find it here on the forums.
you have DSP manager and LVH (louder volume hack)

Hi
I was wondering if anyone here is using A2DP for streaming music, and is having problems with the volume?
I'm using PocketTunes with a Sony Ericsson HBH-DS200 headset and I have to ramp the volume all the way to 100% in PT to get it to pump out what I think is a reasonable volume. Anything much below that isn't loud enough to drown out public transport etc, and that's using those in-ear phones that are supposed to isolate at least a bit!
I've disabled the option to limit PocketTunes volume to the system volume so the system volume setting isn't set too low or anything like that.
Weird thing is the phone speaker is nice and loud and if I plug in a wired headset then I can get a comparable volume level at around the 55-60% mark.
I'm beginning to think it might be my headset, which doesn't have a volume control on it... but I thought headsets that did have a volume control just adjusted the volume on the device which wouldn't really make any difference!
All apps seem to be limiting in this way, whether it's WMP or PocketTunes or TCPMP. There are boost options in settings but all that does is distorts my music really, which is rather distracting.
Any advice appreciated! It's hard to tell whether it's the device, the headset or the software. Running WM6.5 and have done some registry tweaking to disable joint-stereo and increase the A2DP BitPool, so the quality's fine - just too soft.
Cheers

Has anyone noticed that the volume is lower in Froyo than it was in Eclair?
I've tried a number of different apps (built in player, tunewiki etc.) and there seems to be a definite reduction in the volume since upgrading. Any ideas?
i was going to post a thread saying volume is much better!
earlier on 2.1 it was crap for me. now both in call volume and media volume are much better and in call volume is clearer. the rear speaker sounds less tinny and is passable now. the shrill hiss / tinny sound at max volume is gone now totally since froyo update i think atleast on the tracks i listed to (preinstalled music and soem youtube videos). i was infact thinking i might reduce the volume a bit which seems a bit of a shock to me knowing the crap rear speaker dished out with the desire. earlier i had said elsewhere that this was the worst speaker i had seen on a phone compared to any of my phones in the last decade, but now i retract that statement. looks like it was a software issue.
i had before the froyo update installed the free 'car mode' app that uses the rear speaker, i would use that mode when ever i put the phone in my trouser pocket as otherwise i would never hear the notifications and often the ring if i was out and about. then after fiddling around i found some sound settings which wasnt obvious at first and disabled the default tick box that made the ring volume and notification volume the same. after disabling that tick box then i could independently adjust the notification volume.
also before the froyo update i installed the free 'quick settings' app which under its settings has a setting for sound, under that apart from the usual volume controls, it has a separate control for system volume which i couldnt find elsewhere on the phone and after increasing that system volume to max, the volume output improved from the rear speakers.
but after froyo it is even better now, both for call volume from earpiece and rear speaker. i cant comment about the earphones as have never used them yet and still in its packet somewhere. wish there was a way to use the fm radio without needing the earphones.
Interesting..I'm specifically speaking of the headphone volume and the ringer volume. It's certainly lower (around 30% lower than 2.1).
I do agree the output from the inbuilt speaker is improved.
Upon further research, I have seen others mention similar issues and also relating to the quality of the sound. I've also seen custom roms using pershoot's audio mod which is supposed to increase loudness. Can this be applied to a stock 2.2 rom (rooted of course)?
HTC Incredible on Virtuous 3.2.0
Speakerphone is the seemingly best feature to use in the car, for quick conversation without putting the phone to my ear.
My old HTC Eris can use a Loud Volume Hack involving simply editing the .csv files for Audio in the /system/etc/ folder.
The Loud Volume Hack that I'd normally use seems worthless on the Incredible.
DSPManager comes installed on Virtuous.
Putting all points of the equalizer up for Phone Speaker seems to do nothing to the volume.
With Loud Volume Hack, the Eris was markedly louder in the car, over road noise, to talk on.
The Incredible is so much quieter that it's almost useless as a speaker phone when there's noise in the background.
Is there another Loud Volume Hack that works for the Incredible? Is there something more to this than opening DSPManager and checking 'enable' and pulling all of the equalizer bars upward?
Thank you ahead of time.
Any one else having issues when playing music? The volume gets soft/low when seeking through a track, so you have to turn the volume up. Though once a new track begins, it gets very loud. Also it seems the bass gets very soft until a new track. Anyone know of a solution? This is with headphones and/or Aux port.
Edit: Well i found a solution run the stock samsung music player first.
It seems to be 3rd party music players (or maybe just PlayerPro) that had the issues. The Darthstalker rom that had the volume boost which is what made the music volume be very loud or soft. I installed stock volume zip. which solved that, but still the bass was cutting out when seeking through tracks. If you run stock samsung music player first then 3rd party/PlayerPro music app. The bass should be fine.
*On the side note if anyone ever noticed light white noise hiss sounds during quiet periods of a song or at the end. From the searching i did today it seems like its based on the impedance of the headphones. The lower the impedance, the higher chance you'll hear slight hiss sounds.
When I "disable" absolute volume for use with poweramp the volume is QUIETER. I thought enabling this option was supposed to have an opposite effect? Instead it makes it half as loud now. I wanted to use the DVC option with power amp on my bluetooth but that seems to be a no go. Some devices are quieter than others. One pair of bluetooth earbuds is so quiet you can hardly hear anything unless the volume is maxed. Another is low but not that bad. Is there something I can do to fix this? Everything I read says this is the opposite of what should happen.
I have exactly the same issue with Poweramp. Not sure if it is the app or Samsung changed something. It worked as intended in previous versions of both Poweramp and Android
