Hello everybody
Some of you might noticed that the volume in some apps (youtube, navigon...) or even media (mp3) is quite low.
This issue is fixed in many roms like cm, xylon and so on.
I want to know if there is any possibility to increase the volume output on 4.2.1 stock, without having root.
thx
Yeah I would like to know too. My iPod touch is a whole lot louder! What gives Google?
Would love to know this too. In fact, the low volume makes me miss quite a few calls and messages during the day when I'm not in the same room as my phone. Also when I show someone a YouTube video the audio is sometimes near impossible to hear on the speaker. Would love to stick with the stock ROM so I hope there is an easy fix.

Volume+ free in the Android market is what I used prior to rooting and flashing Liquid.

use this mod this guy posted. it makes the volume so much louder. ive used it since day one when i got my nexus because i could never hear my damn ringtones or notification tones. but u need to be rooted. i run the stock 4.2.1 rom that is rooted. just so i can run some apps that need root access. its worth it.
Volume+ stopped working with jb. Still no fix. Unless rooted I presume.

Make sure you installed the V6beta2 if you are on 4.2 or 4.2.1. There are two different ones. One is for 4.1.2 which I think the latest build is called "V5Omega" it's in the 1st post and the other is for 4.2 and 4.2.1 which the latest build is called "V6beta2" and that's his 3rd post. You might have flashed the wrong one.

The general sound improvement on the SGS1 with voodoo-sound compared to stock was night and day. Seriously.
So good in fact that coming to the Galaxy Nexus was a bit of a bummer. It's not as good as the SGS1 with Voodoo sound.
The SGS1 went from beeing averagely OKish to ZOMG IS THIS IMPROVEMENT SOFTWARE ALONE? It completely revived my Shure earbuds and my entire MP3 library.
If Francis can do anything remotely close to that on my Galaxy Nexus, there is absolutely nothing on this phone I will be complaining about.

Lol. Atm, and the big picture is don't have time to look at the details. I wasn't looking for an answer like josteink gave. I am looking for a short precise answer like it it custom equalizer, supercurio enhanced, something like audio enhanced or does it correct some flaws in the chip or fill in the gaps. I see too many posts about how good it is rather than why it's good. That's all. Haven't been on xda much lately. Breaking in new equipment and getting more. Video and audio equipment actually. Miss plasma. And great stereo. I am seriously considering getting a turntable because even with vinyl's flaws there is a lot to be enjoyed with it and I miss that.

Are you claiming second hand news on the internet is somehow overstated, inaccurate or sensational?
Seriously though. Just knowing that you are spending any time at all on the issue fills me with hope that I will get even more out of this device some day
My co worked who used to have an ET4G and now has a Galaxy Nexus stumbled upon this MOD. Knowing how must of us running any jb ROM have low headphones/aux issues I thought I could post this to try and help.
There is a tiny problem though.... I flashed this last night. I successfully booted my phone but once everything loaded my phone froze up and just powered cycled. I tryied flashing it with different gapps combinations and different jb ROMs. So with that said... do any of you devs or anyone that want to try to modify this MOD for our phones?? Maybe it will bring a solution this this bug?
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to try this and provide some input

im really hoping this gets ported or something is done about the issue soon, because the jb roms are so awesome its impossible for me to go back to ics just for audio. though i do miss the days where i could use my headphones to their full potential. didnt spend 100 on them for nothing

Might be a kernel thing? Who knows.
Glad to know I wasn't the only one with the audio problem but from my short testing in my car it seemed to only be music related, I'm using double twist. When I got a text message the ringtone was alot louder than the music itself and the volume setting on that was only around half as loud. Things use to be the other way around on ICS. Like someone else posted hopefully there can be a fix soon because I'm loving JB.
I tried this mod on my Nexus 7 and I didnt notice a difference
Not sure why it didnt increase volume for you. Worked just fine for me.

The latest cm10 Nightlies fixed all of the sound problems
Sent from my E4GT by using THE FORCE
From what I can tell from my testing on the E4GT, your headphone and bluetooth volumes are tied to the speaker media volume originally. I haven't seen it in any other builds of CM10, but it seems fairly common in the E4gT's roms.
Where are the nightly builds posted? I don't see it on thier official site

This is not true ... Pandora and/or any other music related app still has the problem, even Youtube, however, everything else is topnoth in CM10. We all hope it gets fixed quickly. Im running CM10 9/24 nightly.

If its fixed in CM10 it will be fixed in all jb ROMs since they run basically the same base. Jb has made some great progress thanks to all the devs. Hopefully they work out this bug. I wanna jam! Lol

I finally was able to root my nexus and did some research in the forums to find out how to increase the low volume specially during calls and media. I saw a script I. The themes section but it talked about pbx and I won't be using my phone for that. There was another that seemed to be what I wanted but it required non stock kernel. I'd like to stay with a stable kernel and use a mod that will help me out. Is there an insecure kernel that I can use or another audio fix you guys can thing of to help me? Thanks.

Hello guys,
for those who has tested the new 4.2 stock, i would have a question about volume.
Have they improved it from 4.1 or it is a bit low yet?
Thanks in advance!
Seems pretty low to be honest - I've actually missed a couple of Whatsapp messages even though my phone was really close by. Waiting for some custom ROM/kernel goodness to bring it back up to the levels we know and love.

Really? Are you using the most recent OFFICIAL release of miui?
Wait.. if u have an lte gnex, this could be your issue since the sprint and verison versions get 3rd party ports of the i9250 version.
Anyways, I use miui and, while there is some interface lag compared with aosp, its still a great ROM. Aosp is hideous IMHO, especially since 4.2 came out.
Miui is very nice, even the stock icons look better than aosp.

Noup. Im using the OFFICIAL for Gnex MAGURO, build by Xiaomi (The one found HERE). Im flashing 3.1.11, which is the latest according to that site. Using TWRP to flash. Might been a bad download, if you insist that its working fine for you, but i did a little research, and some people were complaining about the same bug, so i thought that it was the rom, not me.
EDIT: Just checked, and i highly doubt its a bad download because MD5 matchs with the one posted on the site.

Ok, got MIUI to work. Seems like its not a good idea to flash the ROM and GAPPs on the same go. I had to flash rom, boot the phone, set it up, go to recovery again, and flash gapps, after that, everything seems to be working fine. Even the browser. Seems like that was the key.
