Improve audio - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

been away for too long and lost track of tricks to improve audio volume on Gnex, especially on notifications (not only music).
Anything new and really working?
Mostly interested in improving volume for notifications through external speaker.
Thanks

Sorry but I must say a huge... NO
As an audio enthusiast, Beats must be the ****tiest sound I've ever heard.
There is/was an app called "Volume+" which is said to work pretty well. Though I can't confirm it.
Otherwise some ROM's and Kernels do have a bit of volume boost built in.

volume+ was working with ics but broke with jb...
plus I need only volume increase on ext spkr for notifications

I fixed mine with trinity kernel. They have an audio slider that helps with that.

On the topic of audio is there any way to control the gain of the mic when recording video?

I've been pretty pleased with Misledz's work over here. Works well for JB to improve audio quality and boost volume.

There is a pinhole-size notch in the top edge of the rear cover, toward the right side as you look at your phone from the back. Behind that is supposedly a second microphone that is used when recording video. There have been complaints that it is set far too sensitive, and garbles the audio in loud environments. I don't know of any way to adjust it with software. You could try reducing the MIC's sensitivity by holding your finger over the pinhole.

Galaxy note 2 volume level

Hi guys,
How does everyone find the volume level with headphones? I find the galaxy s3 is far too loud on volume 1 to listen to. On my s2 I use fine volume control, but I hear it doesn't work on the s3 on jelly bean. Does it work on the note 2? Does siyah kernel work? As can reduce the volume in ex tweaks. Trying to work out which phone to buy, but they all seem too loud! Have tried different headphones too, and same issue. Thanks a lot guys

well of course kernel is neat, however I wouldn suggest volume boost. That comes with speaker buzzes. Anyway, stock is pretty loud tho.
if you're trying to reduce the volume, user poweramp for your music, then go into the equaliser, and drop the master volume amplifier (the adjustable bar on the far left) to the lowest setting to reduce the volume further.
alternatively, download any equaliser app and drop the master volume or drop all the eq frequencies to reduce the overall volume.
Thanks, power amp is indeed quieter. Just wish that it would work with dsp manager...

Why would you use dsp manager when poweramp has the best equalizer out there
Dafuq u r buying a phone just for a smaller volume level?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
No but it's a big factor for me. Power amp is ok, but to my ear dsp manager is noticeably better. I've bought some new headphones, not inner ear and this has helped with my issue greatly. Seems inner ears may just be too sensitive for android. Neutron with my new black box headphones seems perfect. Still looking at the note 2. Thanks for the help everyone, that Perseus kernel is really handy, as I still need to be Able to reduce the volume level in extweaks or something similar to minimum.

Best Audio Mod for LGOG

There are quite a couple of audio mods for the LGOG, I would like to know which one do you guys prefer best?
I currently have the Beat audio mod but I only chose this I had great experience with this mod before.
Are the other mods any better?
Please share your comments.

I found that incorporating the beats Audio scripted in my old s2 always outrageously distorted the bass, even while using beats Audio headphones. Now I just use power amp and it does the trick

I tried so many mods like acid and beat but the best so far is power amp like kmull4 said. You get powerful bass and rich highs. It actually adds more power to those Hz.
I've only used Acid +nooxide and love it. As long as you don't push the effects too hard. The" wider" sound option is actually achieved by manipulating phase coherency which if overdone will result in some may nasty sounding audio. I'm curious about power amp. Are you guys dust using the built in eq settings on the app?
Ps: I'm an audio engineer so I'm always looking for the best sound possible
Yeah built in. Way better than DPS manager

For me yes. I've used a lot of music apps and I feel that this is the best one. Although in your case being an audio engineer, you might want to check out jet audio in the play store. It has more options to change the sound.

Are you really surprised that Beats distorts bass with all the artificial bass added in for no reason in the first place?

Thanks for the heads up on jet. I'll check that it out for sure. The ui is kinda meh though but that's secondary to the sound IMO. I am really digging noozy player. Especially the podcast section. That's a nice feature.

I have really good headphones that support a high current/voltage. I put up the dB on the DPS manager and it gets distorted. With the poweramp it does make the freq. more clear and powerful.
Poweramp and good headphones are all I've needed for clarity. Even without fiddling with EQ the clarity is good.

Is there any way to boost the headphone and speaker volume without a custom kernel?

Is it possible? I find the Stock kernel to be most stable and fast, but the low audio output on headphone especially for some formats forced me to use some custom kernels. But I ultimately came back to stock kernel today. So is there any way to boost the headphone and speaker volume without the help of a custom kernel? Any app or anything? I'd really like to have one!
I can always change the gain.dB file but it's needless to say it's a weird process in middle is something, especially while you're watching a movie or something. So that slider is needed, preferably in an app, so that it could be changed on the fly. Should've the range from 55-63 dB for speaker and 50-63 dB for headphones and all.
Thanks in advance.

How could you increase the speakerphone volume with it mate? If I enable speaker then the speaker volume increases indeed, but only when I'm playing a movie or music, but the ringtone volume is unchanged at any settings! Is that how it works?

Yeah thanks pal, but I really didn't wanna go the custom kernel way.
So this mod won't work for increased ringtone volume? I don't know, but even the lock screen sliding effect sound is boosted a lot but why not the ringtone!

Buddy please Disable the increasing ring tone with Xposed Framework or SF or an app from Google play that will boot your Phone sound.

For past three or so months I've disabled that thingy, actually I haven't, I think ARHD comes with it being disabled by default. That's why when I enabled it in Xposed didn't notice any difference.

Wait for KingBeatZ to release their sound mod for the new Nexus 7 if they will. On the old Nexus 7 it made a significant improvement to the speaker volume.
Usually I'm right on front of the tablet so sound have been am issue. I guess if you are trying to use it as something to listen to from across a room it may not fair well.

A user posted that it worked on their 2013, so that is a good sign. Must be pretty universal, the dev should post it in here.

When you look at a graphic eq you will see all of the toggles, they correspond to a frequency, from low to high (left to right). By moving a control anywhere higher than 0 you are effectively making that frequency louder. So by dragging the controls on the right you are boosting the high frequency sounds ( speach/singing/cymballs) and by dragging the ones farther to the left you are adjusting bass and mid levels. Just play with it, just be aware that by boosting the gain too high you could end up making your music/movies sound distorted. Have fun!
And a tip, put on a style of music that you listen to the most while you make changes so that you can hear the difference that your changes make.

I don't really use poweramp but I think there is a volume override is settings---audio---advanced...Try that, poweramp has its own engine that you have to disable.

Well in doing a little search through the forums it looks as if the developer has set poweramp to not work with 3rd party dsp. You may just have to find a different player that you like that supports dsp. They have a forum with the answers to your questions I am sure. Sounds like your up and running though.

The Devs and app designers on here have a fairly good idea of the max levels of the boomsound speakers,as the speakers pass their optimal performance level, sound ehancements and audio boosting mods simply distort the speakers.....until they go POP, there was a mod being worked on a while ago, where we trialed different adjustments to various files to improve loudness and quality and tested multiple music players, recording sound level(db) output, the loudest music player, with greatest adjustment was PowerAmp, full version, dunno if this helps, just my offering
Ill have a look to see if the guy is still working on files, or whether or not its workable with the new updated 4.2 onwards
ok here's the thread, not been updated recently - but Justin hasnt got his phone sorted yet - have a little look HERE may be what your after or may help
