I've been searching for an answer an can't find it?
Running Liquid Smooth v2.4 everything is practically flawless IMO, but my speaker volume is ridiculously low?
I've tried all sorts of things and nothing works.
When people have a problem with the speaker concerning this ROM
They seem to only complain about it being too loud?
Any suggestions as too boosting the volume?

Maybe audio that you're trying to play is just low.
What is it that the volume is low on?
Music? Video? Both?

Well ringer volume is fine. But any video playback volume is horrible. Watching YouTube or while recording a video I practically have to yell into the mic for any audio playback. Very weird?

Well that's odd. It may have to do with the ROM itself.
Have you changed anything on the ROM at all? System wise?

Only thing I have changed are the Status bar icons and my boot animation through "ROM Toolbox" other then that the ROM is stock

Hmm, the only thing I can think of then is a problem with the ROM itself.
Read through the liquidsmooth thread and check if anyone else is having the same problem as you, and if there is a fix.

Has anyone else experienced issues with system sounds not playing? My Nexus does not play any touch sounds or keyboard sounds, when both of those options are definitely checked. I've rebooted, factory restored, tried a new ROM, and I get no sounds.
I do have the famed "clicking" sound (of the speaker engaging and disengaging) as though it's attempting to play, if I listen closely.
Using the Verizon Galaxy Nexus with both stock 4.0.2 and an AOSP build of 4.0.3.
EDIT: Using Volume Control + to edit the System Volume from 2 to 7 fixed the problem.
Go to settings settings > sound > volume. Make sure your music, video, games, and other media slider isn't muted.
Same problem here. I thought that maybe it was a 4.0.1 issue... wonder if it is hw related?

Have you tried connecting headphones to see if you hear anything? Maybe something got the sensor in the jack stuck?

Thanks for all the quick replies! I just had a brainstorm after posting and figured out what the problem is. I don't have an answer for HOW it happened, but there seems to be a System Volume that is NOT user-modifiable. I just downloaded Volume Control +, and changed the System Volume from 2 to 6. I can definitely hear it now!
Strange! Well at least you got it working!
Is there any way to increase the volume of the touch sounds?

Do you mean past volume level 7? Probably not. You could always pull the sound effects from /system/media/ui and amplify them in an audio program such as Audacity, then push them back.

Thank you, I though about it too, but then I decided against it because I may feel I want to go back to a lower volume and it would be a pain in the neck to move files back and forth.
The only way I could get them a little louder is by using DSP or similar.

True, it would. Then again, to lower the volume, you could then just modify the system volume lower rather than moving the old files back.

Thanks this thread helped me get keyboard sound after flashing custom rom, there was no setting adjust system volume in setting.
3rd party apps like volume plus did the trick.
:good:
Same problem here on my xperia play ! o.o
Don't know how happened, not flashing roms or appling any new tweak from 2 months or more..
Just the sound disappered.. =S
Solved with volume control + !
I turned my phone to full volume and played a sound in an application and noticed that it wasn't THAT loud.
So I opened the SETTINGS, Sound, Volumes, where there were three sliders, one of which is labelled "Music video, games & other media. The default postion of slider was about 33%. So I ramped it up to 100%, and guess what? The applications sounds were three times louder! The phone speakers are now LOUD.
Sorry if this has been reported before, but I hadn't noticed it so I thought others might benefit from reading this.
up all the way and too quiet for me without volume+
the default ringtones are far more quiet than the older ones btw, but volume+ helps.
All the 3 at max for me and still wasn't enough. volume+ did it for me!

The volume rocker by default only changes the phone (i.e. ringtone/notification) volume. When media is playing, the behavior of the volume rocker changes to control the media volume...
Ah, thanks for the replies with the more extensive explanations. So Volume+ is effective beyond the max volume.

Most of people's complaints about the speaker volume is in regards to notifications and ringers.
I made my own ringtone and amplified it using audacity. Its incredibly loud.
volume plus is the only thing that worked
now are most of you using volume+ with the stock rom or?

Stock rom here, but i and many others use equalizer by smarter apps, its excellent. Both apps though tie into the system audio api.
In most of my experiences volume is always an issue... in fact the only phone I know to be loud enough is the iPhone... Did Apple patent noise?
Same for me, not enough without Volume+
I cant get volume+ working With Codename rom and franco's kernel

I may be just bias, but my OG Droid put any and all iPhone's to shame regarding loudness of volume.
With volume+ my Gnex puts every other phone to shame

No noise patent I don't think - at least not yet. The iPhone was built from the iPod though, so they no doubt wanted to emphasize music from day 1.
That said, my Vibrant with Voodoo sound could get painfully loud. But only after installing voodoo.

I think so, but volume+ is not the only app you can use to get a louder speaker. I use a free and very basic equalizer with almost the same effect and with 1/6 of the size.
If you need more than that, volume+ is recommended and It's a very small app too (86k free version and 157k full).
One last thing: be careful. Start with a low volume or you can damage your speaker.
The iphone is far from being loud "enough." There are many phones that are louder, and can be made even louder with either voodoo or volume+

When my phone advises of a notification the sound is very low, is anybody else experience this ?
Volume is loud enough for music and youtube vids, it's just the notification sound seems to be quite quiet.
settings>sounds>Volumes>Ringtone and Notifications.
yeah i know about that thanks, but they are all at max

Try to change the notification sound. Maybe the one you use is low pitch. That's usually the case with default HTC sounds. use a custom mp3 and see the difference.
The issue I am seeing is when music is being played on the phone and a call comes in, afterwards the music turns back on but only at half the volume. All volume indicators are at max and system sounds come through at that level. If I close the music player and re-launch the volume returns to what the phone is set at.
To put a bit of history into this issue, I had actually installed the vicious (I think) JB image on my phone back a while before it was officially released by verizon. With that release, I saw the exact same issue. I tend to listen to recorded music a lot during the day, so with this little glitch I took the phone back to ICS.
But now with the official release on the verizon network the exact same problem is happening. Mostly I have music recorded from DAR.fm and play it through that app. I do have some music in google music but can't quite remember how the details of it resuming after a call went.
So, while I'm querying the app dev guys for the various music programs I wanted to see if anybody else has seen this type of issue.
Thanks
I'm running CM10 and I notice the same issue but for notification sounds. When the sound alerts, it dims the music volume. Once the notification is done sounding, the music volume does not return to normal.

Glad I'm not the only one seeing this.
I know issues brought up here have been noticed by the folks working on the official releases, but is there any system in place to report specific issues like this to either google dev or samsung?
There's an option in Settings > Sound I believe that sets the volume to half, it's called "Safe Headset Volume" try disabling that and see if it fixes your issue.
where exactly is this setting? I didn't see anything about headset volume anywhere in the sound settings panel.

This is only on CM10, just FYI.

Sorry about that, I just know that, that was an exact feature on CM10. I don't know why it would be happening on stock unless this is a built in option to Android that is unconfigurable on stock.
Since I tried running a JB build before, and saw this exact same issue a few months before JB was even pushed out by VZ, I'm wondering if this is a bug pretty deep in JB regardless of the build. Never had the issue with ICS.
Which volume are you talking about? Speaker, headphones, or Bluetooth? I use BT audio for music in my car, and I have no problems after calls or after notification sounds (volume dims, then rises again). However I *do* have a problem where GPS is too quiet, even when music is loud.
This is music played by the Pandora app BTW.
I notice this issue when I am listening to audio through the phone speaker. Not the greatest but it's ok. I have had the phone hooked up to external speakers and it has done the same thing. I check the volume levels in settings and everything is full. Don't have any devices for playing BT audio so I can't try that one. The notification sounds and other system sounds do seem to be at the proper levels, just not the previous playing music.
I am assuming this is a bug relating to the volume transition post-call, but I'm no developer so I'm just identifying the obvious points.
The app I am using is the DAR.fm app for recorded radio shows.
Hi guys,

Its up to you. If you think its a software issue, Do a factory reset or even reinstall your ROM. Flash ur ARC and see, if you have the same issue, it would be a software issue. Feel free to visit your service centre then ..!
Good Luck..!
well with bootloader unlocked no waranty, hope it isnt a hardware problem :S
I reflashed the ROM with same results, Im thinking in doing a full resintall and also give CM10.1 a chance hehe
but before that I would like to know if there are other options, some kind of parameter that I can set or something that I can check, I never liked the idea of something not working just reinstall hehehe
Ok a lot of CM10/10.1 ROMs have been having this problem. Try lowering your volume during call and then raising it again.

Lowering the speaker volume you mean? and it will fix the problem of the other person not hearing me enough? Quite a funny solution hehehe
Didnt work for me?
Any more ideas?
There is a sound level control missing from standard sound settings of arc s,it is voice calls sound level.There are programs for sound control that give you access to this control where you can set it up seperatly from other sound levels.You may also lock the elevel so it will not change by sound level key.Try xperia ultimate HD mod v 4.4.It gives also seperate control on call voice.Hope that helps.

Yup, all the controlls were at full, but doesnt that controll (voice call) managa the volume of your speaker? my problem is the other person not hearing me, so I suppose is more of a microphone problem.

Look I had the same problem as your's and solved it by raising the voice call control to maximum.Do you see this control now and at which level it is.Supply a screen shoot if u can.By the way you can test your microphone by using a voice recorder program.
