Hi,
I have the One X and unless you have earphone's plugged in (really nice sound and loud).
It's the external speaker that is pretty quite, is there any apps or anything I can do to make it louder.
New to Android sorry
Thanks
Graham
I thought it was loud, at least louder than DHD and Sensation,no?
Here you go the usual apps:
-Volume+ by meltus
-DSP Manager
DSP manager works better I think on Sense 4.0, just raise the treble in the equaliser.
Don't install both, it will do FC

Any luck with the apps? I find it quiet too.... Also in the car for navigation the max volume is too quiet....
Is your phone rooted or not? Not sure if it has to be to sort the volume out?
Thanks.
Yeah, external speaker of one x is lame compare to my old phone Sony arc. I tried playing the same mp3 song with them at same time both on maximum volume and really noticed the big difference.

Volume+ can boost it a bit (not by very much though, DSPManager will probably be a little louder on this phone). The only problem is that the speakers crackle and 'pop' after a sound is played, probably a combination of firmware and terrible quality HTC speakers.
I have noticed that something is compressing the hell out of the external speaker too (probably 'beats'), which seems to be limiting the volume.

Hi,
I am using DSP manager and it has made a difference, unlike volume+ it doesn't over do it and sound like it's going to damage the speaker.
The thing that annoys me is plug headphone's in and it is so loud and a brilliant sound for a phone.
My phone is rooted but I don't think it needs to be done.
Thanks
Graham
It's not as loud as Xperia S for sure (the loudest Android phone ever) but it's louder than Sensation and Nexus 1 out of the box.
I don't have a One X yet but tried it in several shops,volume+ and DSP will surelly give the extra power to hear your phone ring in the busy streets.
Graham good to see you resolved it
Thanks, want to try dsp manager.... Is it not on the market or?

i´m here again LOL
Continuing with the improvement of my DHD....
I´VE detected that in the music player (i´ve tried some music players)
there are a problem... when i change the sound effect to DOLBY MOBILE, works fine and better than without it...
but if i select SRS effects the music distorts in any earphone that i use (since high quality big sony earphones... to the htc little earphones...)
If I select SRS effects without earphones it does a frightful noise
there´s some people that happen it?
I don't get this effect.
I'm using a pair of SoundMagic PL15s (surprisingly good yet incredibly cheap) and I have no distortion at all.
I'm running LeeDroid 3.0.0 and his 3.0.2 kernel.
I'll see if I can dig up the bundled HTC 'phones and see if there's any difference.

It think it's because SRS boosts bass.
Try using equalizer bass boost and you get the same effect.
If you turn the volume to 13/15 the distortion is gone.
I tried it with some crappy only one side working philips earphones to my beloved Razer Carcharias headset and both had the same effect.
(I'm using ARHD 5.1.3 btw, which has the headphones volume fix and 10% boost on loudspeaker. I had the same effect with froyo though)

okay man... trying it... then i´ll edit this post thx for your interest
EDIT:AHH you have just given me an idea.. MAYBE ITS possible that i have a earphones distortion because the all the audio outpunts are boosted 10%
when i try to select the equalizer and select bass boost my earphones (Factory htc earphones & SONY mdr z 1000 ) also.. distorts. BUT IN FEWER DEGREE THAN SRS...
Hi there,
I have just been doing some reading/research and have just found out that people believe the HOX's beats enhancer sucks?
I thought the sound quality was epic?
But people suggested getting an equalizer such as:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5zbWFydGFuZHJvaWRhcHBzLmVxdWFsaXplciJd
My questions are:
Does the Equaliser get rid of the beats enhancement?
Is setting an Equaliser up properly going to make music better than using the Beats?
THANKS !!!
Beats headphones are mediocre and overpriced.
Beats sound "enhancer" is a bass-heavy equaliser.
Other equalisers are configurable and work instead of the beats one, but don't get rid of it, it can still be switched on if that's what you want.
It would seem that some peoples ears or brain-wiring is broken, although what one would like to hear is quite subjective.
it depends on the app, but for me all i have tried don't override Beats, and end up like rubbish.
I didn't see any equalizer have better bass/treble than Beats, so far.
Maybe try installing beats equalizer mod (if not stock), that is the best customization option IMO.

Cheers mate
Problem is I haven't touched my HOX so completely stock.
So basically, an EQ won't over-ride beats properly?
And could cause it to be worse than usual?
So stick with beats?
Yeah man ....beats are rubbish ...use Esq equalizer ....its very good if you like bass
Ahh! Two different points of view.
Someone saying EQ sucks?
Someone saying Beats Sucks?
Which should I use?
How will I get better audio from my songs, using the in-built beats or downloading an EQ and playing with that?

I use beats with dspmanager, link not in Sig as on phone but you can get it from profile.
Beats uses compression makes the music louder at the cost of quality (audio people will hear it, most people will be like oh louder).
And as said is quite bass heavy.
Dspmanager is an eq that comes of cm roms I just put it in a zip edited a few files for sense.

If you install one and dislike it, you can uninstall it right?
I'm sure they come with some presets to give you an idea.
The volume is too low with the stock earphone, I don't know how is it with another earphone or maybe the cause of walkman, etc...
Did anybody have the same problem?

The sony ones that came with it? for me they are ear blasting loud compaired to the Samsung ones I have.
The headphones are of great qualty but i find sony walkmans equalizer as well as sonys sound enhancements a bit lame at times.
If your about acoustics or clarity then walkman is up your alley but if your looking for grinding bass & hearing damage volumes i suggest third part app or flashing a mod or custom rom that has volume hacks included in its package.
Apollo combined with dsp equalizer is the ususal music player to be in most custom roms. I really like this player very simple an the dsp is just perfect.
For the xperia zl there are a couple sound mods that can be flashed but i have not found a significant difference in loudness when flashed. so i use jet audio. i tweak the equalizer from the app and damn is it loud. the app even gives you the option to have a 20 band equalizer plus loads more of features.
Here are the threads for sound mods . maybe you might find a difference in volume. I didnt.

Looks like u r used to louder music. So, have you tried some other headphones/earphones? I think you should, coz those which came with my Note2 were much louder than the stock ZL ones. Btw, I find the stock ones good & loud enough for my use (any louder ones give me earache) & I prefer using Walkman for music (clear audio mode).
Volume+ app will increase the volume for you.

turning on the ClearAudio+ solves the problem for me.
In normal circumstances, I find the volume to be loud enough with ClearAudio turned on. But when I need head thumping, mind numbing, skull rattling bass (sound purists die!!) (i.e while running or working out), turning on the Extreme Bass in PowerAmp is the only option. But then, the volume goes very low. On the Note 2, since there was quite a headroom until the max volume was reached, it was all good. But with the ZL, no bueno :crying:
Gonna try some Samsung in-ears and see how they perform. Will report back here.

Which bluetooth earphones exactly?
If u guys want heavier bass (than default walkman) through in ear headphones (stock or others), try this app (no root req). It, however, doesn't increase/boost the overall volume level.

Heya all,donno if this has been posted or not, but i found nifty trick to raise volume when listening to music on stock 4.1.1. (Headphone volume)
1. Plug in your headphones
2. Play a song on stock music player
3. Raise volume to max
4. Go to stock camera app and take a pic EDIT: You can also just "tap to focus", no need to take pic!
5. Your volume is raised!
I quess its something to do on how beats audio works and limits volume.
Let me know if it worked on your stock x,cheets

Yeah it's actually a bug... And a reboot definitely makes it go back to normal..i found that the volume rise causes some distortion so i dont like it much
The volume will rise everytime some notification or sound conflicts with music..

HTC One has build in amplifiers which amplifies the sound, that's why beats audio works on the speakers on the One!
In the case of our beloved HOX, the speakers would just crackle and distort... :silly:

It's only louder! Clarity is messed up! :laugh:
There's a limit to the HOX speaker, you can use all the sound mods out there, but in the end you can't improve the hardware with sense5 or anything other software update!
Lets hope we get the Sense 5 within next month!

I was always wondering if someone else never found this little "glitch", i have been using it since last year and i find the sound on the HOX to be "unstable", as it is never the same loudness/bass, sometimes it gives more sometimes less, sometimes it is very good and sometimes crappy, but this helps everytime i use it is for my headphones and it works like a charm. :good:
Hi guys,
so one thing has been bothering me since I plugged my earphones into my Z1C - the sound quality. I used to own a Walkman mp3 player and I loved its sound quality, but it's less than half of that in my phone. I don't get as many bass if any at all when using crystal clear sound or whatever it's called. If I manually turn the bass down, it increases by a small amount, but the overall sound quality goes down significantly. Is this a common problem? (or a problem at all?) What do you think? Do you enjoy your music experience or do you try to fight it? Is there any way to make music sound better without installing any 3rd party players?
Have a nice day.

Exactly the same story here.
The clear audio + mode sounds terrible in my opinion. I'm using the Unique and bass boost equalizer presets in sound enhancements. They sound much closer to my Walkman.
if you have root you can install viper fx and inside it there is an option to configure a lot of thing and mod sound in headphone i dont use it but everyone in viper fx thread confirm that it makes a miracle so maybe it's worth to try

Is there any mod to get deeper bass & clear highs????
