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.
When making or receiving a call I am unable to hear the caller and they are unable to hear me. All volumes are up. I can't select the speaker phone. Bluetooth has the same problem. The problem started on EB13, and I've flashed to stock DK28 and DI18 with no luck. Sprint is ordering me a new epic but it won't be here until Monday so I figure I'll try to get it to work.
Looks.like you have to wait for your new epic

I actually figured it out, it thought something was plugged into the 3.5mm head phone jack. I plugged a pair of head phones into it and I was able to hear everything. Unplugged it and it works perfect now. I don't know what was up, especially considering I flashed it several times. Just must have been the hardware hung up or something.
YES, I'm so excited that I fixed it
I have my Epic running SyndicateROM 1.0.2. Can anyone tell me if its a normal problem of the rom to mess up my mic? People say I sound faraway or like I'm whispering and in reality I'm almost yelling. I need to know if its my rom or if I should switch out the phone for a new one I've only had it a week and have 30 days to switch to a newer one or should I just get an Evo?
Probably best to use the EB13 Extended tar, odin it to your phone (do a nand backup first).
Then check out how it sounds.
It sounds like a hardware issue really; but you could double check that way.
If it is; you'll want to odin a stock tar to bring it to sprint for a replacement. They won't fix or replace it with a custom ROM on it.
Good luck
I would try opening up the voodoo control application and check settings. There is a mic profile in there you can change. See if that makes any difference switching back and forth between profiles. Since 1.0.2 includes the voodoo sound in the kernel it seems that maybe something just got messed up with that. If that doesn't work odin back to stock as last person said to check that it's not a hardware problem. If it's better after odin then go back to ACS again and see if it's fixed, maybe just a bad flash as my mic actually seemed to be better after going from stock to ACS.
I personally wouldn't recommend switching to evo, its a slower phone, and the screen while slightly bigger isn't nearly as nice, plus even if you use virtual kb a lot its still nice to have the option of the physical.

Do you think I could get the Nexus S? You think it'd be a good trade? I heard it wasn't as good as the Epic but I wouldn't know.

Personally the keyboard in the epic is more important to me than the additions nexus S would give.
Differences:
Nexus S
+ Has NFC and Gingerbread.
+ Thinner
- No microSD slot
- No hardware KB
Epic
+ Hardware KB
+ microSD slot
- only (officially) on 2.2 - Though this is likely to change soon w/ CM7, and hopefully once Nexus S is released it will make software updates for our Epic easier.
- No NFC (I couldn't care less)
As far as I'm concerned the only down side of the Epic vs Nexus is software which can be fixed by our great devs here, and hopefully once the Nexus S 4G source drops there no longer is a software gap.
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.

Hi everyone
I've tried searching everywhere but no luck.
The microphone in-call volume on my GNexus is too loud and distorted (maybe too much gain?).
People keep on complaining about it especially when I'm in loud environments.
I've tried returning to stock and installing CM10 but no changes.
Since it's still under warranty, shall I have it checked?
Edit: I'm now running stock with Franco kernel.
Thank you
An update: I had the mic changed by Samsung and the problem is still there.
It seems like the mic has too much gain or the volume is too high. If the phone is far (10-15cm) from my mouth the sound is normal but the environment noise is still pretty high.
I don't know what to do now.

It looks like your microphone is defective, that can happen if you have gotten dirt/metal debris into the reciever (though i dont know how that can happen on the gnex).

Just to let you know. It's happening with the Nexus 4 too. Been searching on this for a while, and it's disappointing to know that the GNex also has this problem and hasn't been fixed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046613
