attachment.php?attachmentid=376985&d=1281399357
onto it.
Sorry i cannot post links due the restriction but i need to show it for my question.
I got leedroid 1.8
and i just wanna know how i can turn the music player louder... the loudest volume is not enough for me....
and how to make the ext3 partition for app2sd ?

Up.
to shoaaat

External speakers ? Phone is ok here .. very loud etc... it 's a very small speaker .. how loud do you want ?
Remember it's an phone not an 1980's gehto blaster

Errrrm right at the moment theming is kinda hard because we dont have full r/w access so you cant use metamorph. You can use launcher pro to get a different dock and apply everything manually though.
I dont no about making the phone louder tbh.
And to make an ext3 partition go into rom manager, go to partition sd card. Use 512mb with swap of 0. This will wipe your sd card though so back it up. Use an app called quick system info to see if it worked (should say A2SD storage).

If i do that the quality of my high res audio files will go down badly

Honestly, this isn't the best media player for an audiophile.

im not an audiophile but the players quality is enough for me... only the loudness is the problem.

There is a free Volume Plus app you have to go to the developers web site to get it. Read the description for the app on the play store and it will tell you where to go.......

Alternative is equalizer by smart apps. Custom eq Max each freq. Does that break it? Its an alternative.

Just go to the developers website, he links to it in the description of the paid one. You get the paid version for free by downloading it from his site and you get the full version.

will try but does it increase (like volume+) the overall external speaker volume?
Without volume+ set to 15 my sms/msg/alarm notifications are way too low

Aham http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500579

One question I've always had is if there's anything that just adjusts the external speaker's sound only. I know the go to solution has always been Volume+ or Music Volume EQ, but both affect sound globally, or in volume+ case starts to distort sound every time you change from BT to headphones or external speaker. All I want to do is make ringtones and notifications louder, everything else is fine.

Xperia S Headphone Volume

I have read quite a lot about this issue, but haven't found a solution yet. The volume output on my Xperia S is very low, but I know there is something which is restricting it from producing a louder volume because when I play a movie using MX player the volume is very loud and crisp.
How do I increase the volume through the headphones? Any fix/mod fr the same?

make sure that your phone is rooted,go to play store,download beats audio installer,it did wonders for me....if its still not loud enough
download poweramp,select the loud preset and boost the preamp all the way up
the reason why mx player produces louder sound compared to the stock players because it uses software decoding as opposed to hardware decoding which lets it bypass the inbuilt limit the same applies to poweramp

XS
try volume+ on the playstore,the volume 's good but the sound is not good :|

cheers :good:

Did you delete the sound level alert apk? I had this issue of it not going above half volume because I deleted the apk before anything else. I had to put it back and let it warn me before removing it.

Exactly my case. Removed SoundLevelAlert.apk and now can't increase volume with headphones plugged.
I copied the apk back to phone, installed it, but nothing changed. I still can't increase volume over 8/15. Rebooted - no luck.
It was a system app, maybe you can't make it work by just installing the apk?
Any ideas?
//Sony Xperia P, ICS

MX player can play audio files if you do a little tweaking in the settings. The audio quality is just awesome using the h/w+ decoder, beats any market player app in this regard. Hope they make a audio player. Poweramp was good but the sound quality was terribly unpleasant on increasing the volume so I ruled it out.

I have the same problem, but do not delete anything. Any idea?

Hm, I don't have these problems. I'm using the Headset which was delivered which my Xperia S or the SONY MDR XB-500 and I think it's loud enough.
My Musicplayer is PowerAmp. So maybe you could change your musicplayer?

Buy headphones with increased sensitivity

i pushed the attached app in system/app !
set permissions to rw-r-r and it gives me warning everytime i exceed the volume and i can exceed the volume to 100% max !
this apk should work with all stock ics based roms !

Would you please care to tell us which headphones you have cuz maybe your headphones might not be compatible with Xperia ... But if you are having issues with speaker too than its altogether a different evil

All those who have their headphones volume stuck at 50% or 60%, just flash this zip in CWM and wipe cache partition and dalvik cache - http://d-h.st/caM
Reboot and enjoy. It is confirmed to we working for most of the people.

I noticed louder music when bass boosting and all those fancy settings in stock player and poweramp are turned off

Acid Audio Engine v7 did the job for me and the sound quality is much much better and louder now.

Low volume with stock earphone

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.

Low Volume

The volume is quite low on this phone, there is an app, "volume booster" by goodev that actually works, don't set it too high tho, you might blow the wee speaker

I think the opposite compared to my old one speaker xperia sp+m2 the volume level is in a different league through the speaker I actually use it set slightly lower than full volume even though the settings in the system are at the same levels as other xperia's. The speaker location+cover is a much improved design compared to previous xperia devices. I do miss viper audio's sound quality through my earphones though.

If your phone is rooted I hardly recommend you Viper4Android, you can increase volume and have better sound with it.
