Hello everyone,
I am new in this forum and dont have much experiences in Android. I bought Kindle Fire several months ago and have just installed jelly bean rom name [CM10] Jelly Bean ROM using SGT7 enhancements [20120925] [Linaro]. It was a whole new world for my KF which only run a stock ROM with rooted & Gapps. Speed improved, smoothly touch feeling. I could also managed to install Viber/Line/Tango on it. Great thanks to SGT7 team. I also upgrade this ROM to 3 of my colleges and all said WOW!. However, when I connect my in-ear headphone to KF, the sound level was too high which could damaged both my ears and my earphones. There was no separate volume level in the setting for earphone / speaker so if you set the volume level to match the earphone, you should raise it up to hear from speaker. Besides, the volume control could not control the volume of Viber earphone. It's still too loud even the volume at 1/10.
I am looking for the good comments from experiences member here for my case. Do I need an additional soft which can control my earphone volume?
PS. I try to mount my USB 3G and my USB stick to KF but failed. Has anyone sucsess?
Thanks
There is an option in Settings under Sound which would be number 4 down on the list there to enable safe headset volume when it is plugged in. I don't know if that'll help and I use the same ROM.

I am having a problem with the headphone output. When listening to anything bass heavy... such as house music, the bass is distorted. Its sounds almost as if the headphones I am using are blown. I know this is not the issue because I have tested several different pairs, all with the same result. I even experience this when I have the phone hooked up to my car stereo. Volume isn't an issue and everything else seems to sound fine... its just that bass notes and kick drums sound horrible.
I'm coming from a Vibrant which was a powerhouse with voodoo sound enabled.
I understand that the Yamaha dac in the SGSII is nowhere near as good as the Wolfson used in the SGS... but it shouldn't sound this bad?!?!
I have tried just about every audio/dsp app available to no avail.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Also... not sure if it matters but I am running Juggernaut v3.7
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
hmm I was going to suggest you get power amp and just turn down the overall level in the eq. that might help in troubleshooting where in the signal chain the distortion is coming from. If it remains distorted at low level i would assume it wsa a hardware problem.
Ive certainly not any problems with distortion as long as i keep good gain structure in my eq.
I have tried power amp. I also tried lowering all the levels down. Nothing works
I forgot to mention that the problem exists even at the lowest volume settings... quite fustrating
I really hope it isn't faulty hardware... not sure ill be able to get a replacement
Completely different hardware but I had this issue on my HD2 after either making the lower frequency settings too high with other DSP or equalizers or when I used root level volume boosters like Volume Hack+
Are you using a stock (non-flashed non-rooted) build? If not, you can try a nand backup and flash a fresh install of your ROM. Not installing anything and go back to the same songs to see if they distort.
The SGS2 can push a good amount of low frequency granted you have earphones/equipment that can pick up low frequency output. I use it in my cars and with my Sennheiser headphones with no real issues and great output. Even with max volume, no distortion.
The HD2 was capable of only so much before it distorted but I haven't been able to replicate the issue with my SGS2. But then again, I haven't installed DSP or any other 3rd party volume/equalizer apps.
Im running juggernaut 3.7 w/ bullet kernel. To be honest I didnt check what it sounded like prior to rooting and flashing the custom rom. I only installed the dsp apps to fix the problem.
A new release just came out so I will take your advice, wipe and start with a fresh install.
Hope it fixes the problem.... its really driving me nuts.
Have you tried a different ROM? If not, try CM7 Alpha v3. Theres nothing like CM's DSP Manager.
Make a NANDROID backup first, that way if the problem still persists, you can always easily switch back to your current ROM.
Hi. I have tried many different rom's and Kernel's on my gnexus. I have been able to adjust the headset volume, and speaker volume with different rom's (curently using Foxhound), but have never found a way to increase the bluetooth a2dp out volume. I have a bluetooth reciever on my amp at home, used to play music from my Nexus S with great volume (still does) but I have never been able to with Gnexus. Gnexus plays but with the amp all the way up it is still not loud at all. When I plug direct conection to Gnexus using rca's and the headphone jack it works fine. Has anyone had any success in this area and would be willing to share the experience?
Thanks.................
I don't know if this is from kit kat but has anyone tried using a blue tooth headset and noticed the minimum volume is extremely loud? I tried adjusting volume on headset and tablet and min volume either way was blowing my ears out. Don't recall this issue before. Could be mistaken though. Using LG Tones for the headphones.
*edit* put paranoid android (4.3)back on and can confirm the volume is significantly more adjustable. Before had about 7 lvls of volume all loud, now i am back to the normal 15ish levels. Not sure what was going on tonight but 4.4 was acting up. I think I'll wait til a more stable ROM comes out. I also wasn't happy to lose HBO Go with 4.4 lol and the amazon app store work around wasn't working for me. anyways heads up if you use bluetooth headsets with 4.4!

I use Bluetooth and I have 15 steps to my volume.

Not sure then. There was someone else having the same issue as me. I had the stock 4.4 that Mr. Roster put together. Not sure which 4.4 you are using.

It is Kit Kat issue on all devices that use the default Google Bluedroid Bluetooth stack, meaning Nexus devices and Google Play versions (other devices running a modified stack may not be affected).
Supposedly, it is an extension to Bluetooth AVRCP 1.3 that enables Bluetooth audio devices to directly control Android's system volume. It seems some genius thought two independent volume levels (headphone volume and handset bluetooth level) was too confusing for folks. Clearly they did not think about (or test) that some Bluetooth audio devices with their own volume controls might default to a very high or low level, and control of only the handset's bluetooth level would not provide sufficient range of adjustment.
So once again we have Goofle googing up bluetooth in Android. Please share your disappointment in the following threads so that we might see a fix ASAP. Guessing they are facing law suits for hearing damage if it is not addressed quickly.

OK so I used the search on here and googled this to no avail... I'm currently on slimkat 4.4 for the flo but I've also experienced this on 4.4 on my d2vzw... When I use my Bluetooth headphones to listen to music or watch a movie the volume is either extremely loud or too low... There seems to be no comfortable middle ground... I was wondering if there was a way to edit the build prop or a 3rd party apk I could use to fix this... I've tried to mess with DSP manager but I can't seem to aquire the volume level I desire... Maybe this will get ironed out with time... Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated...
I was having this same problem that I posted a few posts down from yours. The volume on the lowest setting was extremely loud. I put paranoid Android back on and now it's back to normal. I haven't found anything that fixes this yet so will stick with 4.3 til they fix it since I use my headphones often.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Workaround for playing music is, Play Music > Options (3 dots thing on the top right) > Settings > Equalizer > On, then put everything to the bottom. Still kinda loud, but at least it won't bust my ears.
My issue was with movies not play music. I flashed a different rom and it works fine now anyways hehe

I just bought this off of amazon and it arrived today. (It's a $25 Soundpeats bluetooth headphone).
After pairing it with my XL, I am greeted with trash sound quality when playing some music on Spotify. The headphone would distort when I'm turning up the volume via my phone. In no way am I blasting the volume (it's at 50% and it's still distorting like crazy). At first I thought it might've been a ViPER issue and turned off all the effects that I had on previously. Still no luck.
Next, I tried lowering the volume via phone and increased the volume of the headphone itself all the way.. And that's when I realized that the volume between the headphone and system were synced up. Whenever I increased the volume via headphone, the system volume would increase as well. Is there a way to keep the headphone volume and system media volume separate? Or is this something built-in with the headphones?
I tried pairing the headphones with my brother's Galaxy S8+, and volume controls for the headphones and system were separate! I turned the headphone volume all the way to max and controlled the volume mainly via the phone. Played a couple of songs off his S8+ using Spotify as well and I was able to achieve way better sound quality and louder volumes without distortion at all.
I figured that this might be software specifically related to the Pixel that's causing this. Anyone happen to have any ideas on what I could possibly do?
I'm trying to adopt to Bluetooth to be ready for the 2 XL, but so far the transition has been nothing but frustration.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
I use Volume Butler from the playstore, it works great for exactly what you are describing.
