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:

got app installed but makes it quiter not louder anyone know why?

My volume fix that WORKS

Hi All,
After messing around with apps trying to boost system/ringer/notification sounds, thanks to fellow member CuppaCoffee8, i have found my solution and thought i'd share it out. I have tried Volume+ with not so satisfactory results. CuppaCoffee8 suggested to try one of the many free Equilizer apps on the market, which i did and it does really work. Just turn up all the volume as shown in my pic. It's not specific to the music player and really does increase all system volume to the point where it's even too loud and i had to turn back the system settings volume. So those who are still seeking a solution, please try it out. !

which app is that?

what is the app? and you said it made your notification volume loud, so much that you had to turn it down?

What's the question?

Any free equalizer app will do. In my screenshot, i am using 'Equalizer" by SA Labs. Yes, at max, volume is too loud, i had to decrease it.

Nice find! This worked exactly as you said unlike Volume+

Just as a heads up. This is exactly how Volume+ works. It exploits the Equalizer API to boost the volume

This definitely works for me, Vol+ didn't seem too. Sounds a little distorted, trying to figure out how to get the right settings, but the sounds is def livable with now. Thanks.

I just dont want to damage my phone.

This looks like it should get more exposure. In the Q&A section it will not get it.

i am not sure but +8 on volume+ do the trick for me. have you tried the advance setting on volume+? it exactly the same as your EQ app.

Good tip
Is a good tip, using equalizer (from market)
results are very similar to Volume+, even if using volume+ with increase of 10 or more produces even louder (but often distorted) audio.

volume+ works just perfect. After playing with the settings you need to go to settings>sound>music effects> and pick volume+. That will solve the "I can't hear a difference when i am playing music/movie on the speaker" problem.

Any Equalizer over Volume+ works. Volume+ kept crashing for me too. Thanks for the tip.

This right here will solve your volume issues if volume + works on your phone.

Equalizer by smart android apps in the market is what I use. It practically doubled my volume to the point I can't turn it to max. Thus app was the best because it fully integrated into system and music player in gingerbread, and still does in ice.

Question for those who use volume+....if you want to eventually go back to stock settings, do you just uninstall the app?

or just go into setting and put back to music fx or disable volume plus

Does volume+ increase notification sound as well, or just music/video?

have anyone tried the build in EQ advanced setting on volume+??

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?

Boost of the speaker phone????

I have no luck finding an app that can help my speaker sound better, downloaded a couple of EQ apps but the sound was bad, did you guys know any app out there that could make the sound of the speaker be great?

Volume+ ...... you can use it to control EQ. works pretty well

Yeah Volume+, just like the other 20 threads about this recommend.

Well, first I did say that Volume+ and 4.0.4 but then I editted it because I realized you were asking boosting of sound quality.
4.0.4 does address the problem with speaker being too low. I don't even need Volume+ anymore, but I keep it anyways just incase I need to bump it up even louder although I don't think it's necessary.
The app comes with a equalizer that you can play around with to make quality better. The app itself is free (legally) on the dev's website if you want to give it a trial run before buying. Just go to the Volume+ page and visit the dev's website as its linked on that page

[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

Ok tried the demo version. Not finding the option to increase the volume other than the regular max. Not finding a slider to increase it higher than limited max.
