I walk through really loud places on my way to work and back home, and I can hardly hear anything on my earphones (in-ear even). Either my hearing is not at all what it used to, or the volume is just too low.
Is it possible (or is there already a way) to increase the earphones volume above the current limit? (a kernel patch or whatever determines the volume limit)
I know it's a slippery slope to an impaired hearing, but I'll take my chances.

Install Android DSP
http://www.bel.fi/~alankila/android-dsp/
download the update.zip and get the apk inside and install, dunno if it works on all kernels, but works on defrost 2.9, theres a graphical equalizer and some loudness options.
+1 on this, I'd also like to see if there's anything we could do to rise earphones volume...

wow, great. considering it just updates a lib and installs an apk, should sense-based roms users fear any harm?
I will try it right now.
Feedback soon...
Edit: It does not work on nextsense 5.3...

Tried on modaco r8, didn't work (bootloop).
All Devs I beg and plead with you to either have a Non-BEATS audio version of your ROMS or to have it as an optional add-on. I ask this because BEATS audio makes changes to all music you play and I for one along with many others do not like the changes it makes. It seems that every single new version of ROM that comes out has this built in. I have looked high and low and cannot find a way to remove it form the .zip file or even how to remove it after it is installed.
I deeply respect all the work that you do and am very thankful for everything you guys are doing to make our phones better. I understand many people are asking to have BEATS audio added and you are in turn abiding the request.
If anyone wants to know my reasons for not wanting BEATS audio I will be happy to fill you in or you can look at my post history.
One last Thank you to all the Devs for all your hard work and also thank you for even considering my plea, whether or not you are able to fulfill it.
Beats Audio is cool for people who swear by Skull Candy, I guess. Other than that... I'd rather have it optional please!
While everyone has their opinions, and yours is definitely valid, remember that these developers are developing roms based on what they want to make. If they want to put Beats in, its their choice.
Though I think it would be nice if someone would make the files/modifications needed to disable beats ourselves, its out of my knowledge to do so but that would be the proper thing to do rather than expecting developers to change their roms.

Master & Slave has that capability with his new rom paradox paradise. In order for you to activate beats audio, you need to use dsp manager. So there you go. Gotta love options
"Cocaine Is One Hell Of A Drug" You Know I Keep That White Girl
Team Kang probably won't incorporate Beats into their ROMs since they keep it close to stock but with common sense extras that appeal to everyone. As long as Juggernaut and its future releases are Beats-free, I don't see the need to flash anything else for myself.
And yes, Beats are for people with Skullcandy and lower tier phones/IEMs. I'm happy with my Panasonic HJE900K with Poweramp producing sound the way it should be.
What I don't get is why would you flash beats when volume + has beats emulation in it. It's not even all that great. Just really too much bass.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Beats Audio sounds terrible.
I agree. I flashed the zip without making a nandroid and now I'm wishing there was a zip to remove it. The only noticeable thing it does is increases the bass too much. I like bass but not to this level. Whenever I plug my phone into my car the bass is just overwhelming to the point where the treble is just muffled. Besides our sound card, if you can call it that, is already good as it is. In some sense its better than my 2022 MBP's output with the stock player.
I take it, Beats audio doesn't have the ability (in a system setting somewhere) to disable it? So you can go back to normal?
Download and run Darkside Digital Warfare. It does not have any of that extraneous crap baked into it. It will also be one of the best ROM's you will ever run as far as snappiness and battery life.
I have it running via dsp manager so u can enable and disable

So far it is my favorite ROM. I put this plea out because I still love trying out new ROMS from time to time and playing music from my device at work and in my car is a MUST HAVE, CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT feature. And Beats Auido ruins that for me. If only one ROM ends out not having Beats then that limits me to just one viable choice. As other have replied, I am not the only one that thinks this way.
But yes, thank you for the recommendation of Darkside, I have a Nandroid backup for that ROM that I will go back to if I don't find another Daily.
Not sure if SlickMod 3.4 has Beats but DSP Manager wasn't in the base install. Simply installing DSP Manager from the market doesn't work. I to like clean sound and found a workaround with Root Toolbox Pro which has the option to install Cyanogen's DSP Manager, apparently at the system level. The quality coming thru a Bluetooth FM transmitter to my car stereo is as clean as a CD played directly from the player.
A golden app worth mega bucks would be one that would raise and lower the volume depending on surrounding noise. A pink noise generator to set the eq for varied conditions. Hi-end Alpine car stereos started having that option in the mid 80's. The SGS2 has the hardware needed.
I found that if the CPU Freq was set low when first starting an audio file, DSP Manager would crash when trying to change a setting and I would have to reboot.

Why not just delete/disable the files that are required to make it work. Not the cleanest way to do things, but probably would kill the software from running, thus giving you what you want.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440986
Scroll this page. There is one post with links. But instead of relying on a zip flash file, open up these files. Look inside specifically at what lib files or apk file in system are running and just delete them yourself.
Again, not the cleanest method of doing things. Or look for the references in build.prop. Most developers will annotate the build.prop file to specifically show some instances for the enhanced audio. Just simply try a quick edit and reboot to see that the audio is back to stock sound. Just a thought
Again, and I repeat this...Nandroid backup first. I don't need any blame on what I made you do
Hey all,
why in any custom rom the maximum ringtones, notifications, songs, and anything that uses the phone speaker is very low you can barely hear the ringtone, the morning alarm - sometimes i miss it -, however in stock roms the sound is amazing and sometimes noisy? why guys? and any fix or a possible solution to fix this?
am running CM10 nightly BTW

I don't know if this phone is like my previous LG Optimus 2X but it also was like that, on Stock ROMS the speaker was way louder than on CyanogenMod based ROMS, try using a stock based ROM or install Volume+ from the Play Store it helps with the speaker volume. (Be careful with Volume+ and don't put the value too high or else the sound may be distorted.)
i've already tried the volume+ with no luck, i think its related to the speakers drivers in sense stock rom, and am looking for an advanced help to be brought to CM10, hope anyone from the dev team to find a real fix for this.
probably due to a proprietary driver in the tegra that is closed source... android is an open source software for closed source handset...
I've been running V4A since I first unlocked my 10, and it works fairly well, but not as well as when I have the Nexus 6 and Note5. Although you can flash the standard V4A in TWRP and have it work, you need to a modified version that patches the audio config files in order to not lose BoomSound or Audio Profiles. You can find the flashable ZIP that patches here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/htc-10-audio-thread-t3358064 (v2.1)
My primary reason for needing it is to boost the volume output to my car through Android Auto, which is Bluetooth powered. Play Music is so low when used this way, that I need to keep my radio near 30 (45 max) in order to get decent sound. Same car (2015 Sonata w/ Infinity radio) and the Note5 would achieve the same quality closer to 15/45.
The 2.1 zip I mentioned above seems to break all system sounds when applying a ROM update, but not every update. When it happens, I need to dirty flash back to the latest Viper full ROM, then take the OTA again, then flash V4A and hope it doesn't break. I'd prefer some other options to raise Bluetooth volume levels if anyone can recommend an alternative.

Have you tried any other mods like AcoustiX_Audio_ZeroInfinity ?
I feel like that increases Bluetooth output
Question for you -- I remember you from YEARS ago (been here a long time -- just haven't contributed as you have) ---
I'm on AT&T and am currently using IceROM .... and specific reasons you use Viper? PM is ok if you'd rather

I have not. Is there a version that maintains BoomSound function? That's why I've previously stuck with the thread I linked above. A vanilla V4A install works, at the expense of BoomSound, and I'm trying to avoid losing it.

Used to run Viper because it was a godsend on the Nexus 6 and its horrible audio setup. On the 10, I'm using it for Bluetooth volume more than anything else. The slight boost to speakers is nice with the Extra Loud toggle, but I can go without it.
Do you have a link to the specific mod you're talking about? I'll try flashing it later tonight to see how it works.

Gotcha!
For me, I like maximum customization options, and for me Viper has offered that since I had the One M7 a few years back. When I made the decision to unlock my 10, I went straight to ViperROM, so my experience for this device is currently limited to a week on stock, and then Viper for custom.
But I have no doubt that each ROM currently available has pros and cons, Viper included, and it's up to everyone to give them a shot and use what works best for them.
PLEASE help i have low call audio in tesla N7.0 rom, i did a clean install and low call audio i can barely hear what the other party says, also i have tried all possible increment but still no way to increase.
Ask your question on the official Tesla N thread. You'll get help from the dev himself.
