I still use it in conjunction with AlsaMixer and Imoseyons volume boost in his kernels.
Speaker is still terrible with 4.0.4.
I never really used Volume+. I usually use DSPManager as its built into CM9 and Gummy.

which version are you using?
I remember 1.9.0.0 was not working with 4.0.4 is 1.9.0.1 working?
I hear absolutely no difference, 0, 10, or even 18, all sound exactly the same.
I'm on Build31 AOKP, is there anything else I need to do for it to work?
Hi,
For me the latest version (1.9.0.1) of Volume+ works great and with ICS 4.0.4.
Don't forget to tick volume+ in Sound/Music effects...
The sound is really much stronger!There really a difference,if the EQ Presets does not do much,try Custom EQ Settings ant play with it

v1.9.0.1 works just fine on 4.0.4, I am using it at the moment.
on my GNex with 4.0.4 the volume level works fine for both external speaker and headsets, but equalizatiins (both custon ir presets) do not work at all.
Can pls someone help?
Thanks

Hello guys!

I want to know how to fix it and if Im the only one with this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Issue is well known, you could use latest roms which will fix this, get volume+ by meltus our get voodoo sound to up the volume

Im using cm9, latest nightly. And not fixed yet, at least not for me.
Voodoo sound? Is that available for GNex? Is not as far as I know...
Will try volume+, but sucks have to use an external app for this.
Thanks anyway!

Voodoo sound is not available. I believe supercurio made a thread about this a while back. I'm sure you can find it. CM9 and AOKP don't touch the volume afaik. Codenameandroid does but I don't know if the increase is significant(look in their changelogs). For now I use Volume+.
I use volume+ too. The speaker is certainly not the best but does get the job done. Probably my biggest issue with the GNexus.
He said the volume goes low by itself, not low volume generally. Or is that also a known bug i didnt know about?

It could be with the way you have your phone placed. Sometimes the speaker is covered up a bit and it ends up being more quiet
Anyone gotten any form of volume boost to work with Jelly Bean yet?
The standard Nexus volume is bad enough but the new very nice sounding Text to Speech voice is also quieter than the old one.
I can barely hear Nav giving me directions with no radio on in the car anymore.
FYI, I already purchased Volume+ for ICS but it doesn't make any change to the volume in JB.

I have Volume+ and it definitely increased my volume!! I am on team liquid vicious v2 + franco 200 kernel. I have had no problems with it, so my advice is give that a try.
Volume+ is not working for JB. So quiet
edit: Correction it seems to be working for music, but not for notifications. Phyxis ring tone used to be LOUD for me!

I just tested with Volume+ free and its working. CDMA Gnex, Liquid Vicious v2 with stock JB kernel. Toggling on and off with a song playing, so I'm sure its not placebo.
If you would like I could make a video of it obviously changing my max volume level. I have the paid version of volume+ and have CDMA as well.

I've seen varying results. I couldn't get it to work for me. One person said to make sure you check it in the settings under sound settings. Still didn't work for me. I did the volume hack in Franco.kernel app which worked.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I will check but it sounds like the Team Liquid might be for CDMA? I'll go see if they have a GSM version as well. Also, I thought the franco.Kernel volume increase was only for headphones...guess I'll give that a shot as well.
It wasnt working at first, i gave up then i knew i restarted my phone a few times because i had to goto recovery to flash the proper Su.zip then i tried it again and it worked

Can you confirm that it is working SYSTEM WIDE? We all know it works for music apps, but It does not work for notifications/ringtones.... Neither does any other eq on the market.
Again, they all work for music but not for notifications/ringtones. I agree with the op, I am hearing impaired, and a long time android user. I can garuntee that these eq's are not working system wide, Maybe with app updates to conform to the api or some lib changes it will be working again, but until then we are stuck with low system wide volume.
Don't mean to be rude but the op is looking for help as am I and it does not help to come to these threads and everyone says "mine works fine" when in reality they do not understand what the op is asking.

+1 It drives me nuts when people oversimplify issues and mislead everyone. Just because a fix might work to increase volume for music, doesn't mean that it increases the volume for notifications, or ringtones, or anything else for that matter.
Ok- I tried both the Volume + and the Franco Kernel hack. It's really hard to compare them, but here's what I got:
The Volume+ app increases volume for music, but not for anything else.
The Franco Kernel hack increases volume for music, but it seems to be less than the Volume+ app. It might increase the ringtone and notification volume, but I can't really be sure- the change was minimal that it was hard to even determine if it even existed.
That being said, the change on both is minimal but exists, at least for music.
It is indeed working for music but not notifications!

I stumbled upon a temporary fix. I installed Volume+ and set the volume to +4. Then download Zeltus and search for "loud". Download the loudest ringtones and alarms and notifications you can find and use them.
EDIT: This fix does not raise the volume on phone calls.
So, many of you are aware of how abysmally low the speaker volume is on the phone after getting the JB update. Unfortunately all the information on it is scattered among several different posts and threads, and I just wanted to get some clear answers and use this as an informational post for others who are annoyed by this bug.
What, if anything, do we know about why it happens? Is there a definitive fix system-wide, or do I have to use volume boosting apps? I run franco kernel, are there going to be any compatibility issues with proposed fixes? I like using mostly stock JB, can I get a ROM that makes minimal changes to the original while still fixing the volume issue?
After randomly doing a search for volume fix a few minutes ago I saw this. Did search for same exact reason (gnex 4.1.1). Awesome beats (one of multiple equalizer apps) is said to work. I'm gonna try it in the morning (so as not to have a very annoyed girlfriend at 4am). There's probably a good amount more info on this. As for the last part..pure-ish 4.1.1 aosp Roms are very pleasing...like buttah lol.

If you have Franco.kernel, download his app from the play store (it costs a few bucks, not super expensive). In the settings tab there is an option to increase the max sound volume. I recommend setting it to 2; if you set it to 3 sometimes the sound will cut out on max volume.

I have no idea if this is correct information or not, so take it with a grain of salt, but I read earlier today in the Franco thread that that setting only affects the headphone volume, not speaker volume. I can tell you it does nothing for the volume on my GNex (speaker). I love this phone dearly, but I absolutely hate the low volume. I never have music on my phone, but I use the speaker phone multiple times a day while at work in my truck. I've yet to find a fix that actually increases the speaker volume on calls, and I've tried just about every ROM and tweak around. I'm beginning to think the people that swear some of these fixes work are just having a placebo effect.

I remember reading that too. It does nothing for my GNex speaker either. Volume+ works though. I just tried it yesterday. It definitely increases the volume but only so much before it starts distorting the sound pretty bad. But it is a godsend volume wise for sure.

The dev says it doesn't work with the system stuff (like ringtones, notifications, etc.) Works for music volume on JB though. Check it out, seems like a lot of people with various JB roms are using it successfully. It's kinda hard to be sure it's not working without trying it. I assure you..again..I'm using it..it works for music. Re-read what the dev said.

I try Volume+ on my jelly bean nexus. Only the music volume work, not the system volume (like ringtones). I missed so many call because the ringtone vol is not loud enough even at max vol level. I know I can install ROM, but I prefer stock right now.
There are no mods available as of now for boosting ringtone or notification volume for galaxy nexus on jelly bean. All the mods like awesomebeats/volume+ and also the default musicfx only work on music volume.
I have tried all the mods on all JB Roms which claim to boost ringtone volume, but none really work. The effect if at all is very marginal.
The problem lies with the way google has implemented Jelly Bean. The solution has probably go to come from them until one of the geeks here manage a workaround.
Lets see if volume+ developer manages to release a working version.
I am currently using volume+ on AOKP milestone6(ICS 4.0.4) to great effect.
There is no point in upgrading to JB unless the ringtone volume level problem is addressed. What is the use in owning a phone which you cannot here ringing.
Really need a stock solution. The reason I have the Galaxy Nexus is to avoid flashing madness with the stock experience. Is it a tracked bug?

its because Volume+ supports CM ROMS or MIUI only. can you please go to your /system/init.d folder and check if it has a file called "volume" something or anything related to volume? Also as i can see in the ROM's threat there is a patch for DSP presets. Did you flashed that?:

I used Poweramp witch has equalizer but for me call in volume need higher when talk with somebody.
As far as I have understood, call in volume/ringetones can only get higher by flashing a kernel that allows it, so far I haven't seen any for Gio. Otherwise an equalizer can help to get a higher volume out of the speaker
