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:

[Q] Is it possible to increase volume?

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.

Speaker volume is putrid!

Coming from an iPhone, the speaker volume on my Galaxy Nexus is absolutely pathetic. I'm a big speaker phone user and I could barely even hear the person on the other end unless I'm in a completely silent room. Is there any way to increase the volume [dramatically]?
Volume+ in the market.

Appreciate the help but says it only works on Gingerbread and says it doesn't work on stock ROMS.
Just install it, it works...
Edit: ah its about the speaker phone, then you'll need root.

For the full version of volume+ go to the developer's website http://www.androidaudiohacks.com/ he has the full version and a beta the he is working on for the galaxy nexus
i find equalizer a much better solution.
just install equalizer from the market (or volume +, but i dont like this one as much). the speaker volume will easily double. once you install it, increase each frequency to max, then just close the app. volume is now good to go.
There is more than one equalizer on the market. Which one is the good one?

I find they are both equally worthless. They increase the volume of your device, but they ruin the sound quality. I find the volume to still be unacceptably low even using these apps.

i thought volume + ruined the sound quality when getting to an acceptable level of volume. maxed out equalizer and it's great now. not atrix great, but good enough.
DSP manager is better than volume +, theres a thread with a flashable version which is optimized for ICS. Amazing results

The one by smart android apps is the good one, it hooks into the system audio api.and cranks it up. Just raise each freq.

Does this version of Volume+ stay "active" in the system. I had problems with previous versions of Volume+ and Equalizer not working unless I went and opened it everytime.
I just tried the DSPManager in comparison with Equalizer.
(EDIT) It works fine but Equalizer will go higher to the point of distortion if all the sliders are pushed maxed. Edit The lower two sliders maxed out will go to distortion maxed. I have all about 90% and she is loud as my old OG DROID.
Equalizer All the way. Play a known strong music file while adjusting or comparing apps.
Another Edit On my GN equalizer has to be started just once when the phone boots. I just go to the app and hit it. I am going to see if the Dev will make it start on boot. Other then that its the loudest one I have used.
DSPMngr maxed out does not distort and is just a teeny weeny bit lower.
Going back to Equalizer.
About having to enable it every time (EDIT) I was wrong, this app does not auto run after a boot. You have to tap it only once though.

Are you saying that you used the equalizer in the Volume + app? If so, what are your settings?

WFS volume

Hey my wildfire S speaker volume is less even after setting it to maximum. Is there any method to increase the speaker volume more than the deafult?

Hey beats audio doesn't increase volume. It makes the music clearer and increases bass.

yeap i know that is what i mean
Maybe i misunderstood you
Search "volume+"
Equalizer
If you have cyanogenmod you can enable the equalizer in DSPManager, select a custom effect and put all the frequencies to the top. If you don't have cyanogenmod I suppose there will be similar equalizers in the android market. Althought the music sounds higher, it's also more distorsioned. Sorry for my english !
I have tried all equalizer even used CM7.2 and the beats audio but still no help. I think it's better to keep phone in vibration mode.
Seriously, get volume+. It does work on this phone.

There is a free Volume Plus app you have to go to the developers web site to get it. Read the description for the app on the play store and it will tell you where to go.......
Alternative is equalizer by smart apps. Custom eq Max each freq. Does that break it? Its an alternative.

will try but does it increase (like volume+) the overall external speaker volume?
Without volume+ set to 15 my sms/msg/alarm notifications are way too low
Aham http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500579
One question I've always had is if there's anything that just adjusts the external speaker's sound only. I know the go to solution has always been Volume+ or Music Volume EQ, but both affect sound globally, or in volume+ case starts to distort sound every time you change from BT to headphones or external speaker. All I want to do is make ringtones and notifications louder, everything else is fine.

[Q] Any app or equalizer for non-rooted HTC ONE X to increase speaker VOLUME?

So, as title says. Anyone know of one that works on non-rooted ONE X?
Yes for the speaker, since I find it so low. I want to increase it for music and games.
I dont plan on rooting or modding my phone. Hopefully theres something out there.
without root i'm using "Music Volume EQ" it's free and you can find it on play store.
it's good for volume but quality becomes worse
Be carefull, if the sound is limited there is a reason:
- for your ears
- they can degrade speaker performance over the time
