[Q] volume increase - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Anyone knows which file we could modify to increase the volume output from the speakers?

I'm on my second one now because of low volume...
This one is no better....
Headphone volume is sub par also...
Hoping for a fix....

I have S4 GE, and someone released a mod which modifies a file to increase the device volume.
Why isn't this possible here? I just need to know which file to modify. I am sure there are some values which we could play with here.

You could try an app called "Speaker Boost" which I used on a Ramos tablet and a Samsung phone and it worked great. You are still in control of the volume by a simple tap and adjustment. The Ramos tablet volume was so low I could barely hear anything but when using Speaker Boost I, at least, could hear the audio.

I tired, its not what I am looking for. It's OK, but still not native. It would be nice to modify the files so you could have the same native volume control

Increase volume???

I searched a bit but really can't find anything. Is there anyway to increase volume I'm on darkside 3 rev 7 and really every version of ics I have tried I have significantly lower volume than I did with gb. Can barely hear phone ringer or notification. Dsp really doesn't effect it at all for me. Does anyone know of a way to get volume louder? When I was on gb my wife would say phone is too loud I have bad ears anyway but I see noticeable difference

Kernel with Volume Booster ?

I used Semaphore on my captivate and it had settings to boost the volume, I use the phone for work purpose and I am already struggling to find a headset ( over the head + wired with mic ) but I need a kernel which will bump the volume
Please suggest
None exist

Just use volume+ app. Itll work wonders. No root needed either. Allows you to adjust external speakers, headphones, bkuetooth, and in-call. You can boost volumes on all of them. It works very well. I use it on all my mobile devices.
V + doesn't work on mine for headphones.. level never does up

Same thing for me, Volume + doesn't work with headphone volume, but works ok for speaker.
I really need to find a solution, even Dice Player 's volume boost doesn' t work on my Bell SG3 (I747M)
Try an older cm10 build, the earpiece volume was deafening... Lol

Wanted: Volume app

As you know the speakers are loud on the One. The minimum setting is very loud for an early morning
Anyone know of a more controlled volume app that could set the minimum volume lower for media?

Installed Volume+ from PlayStore - makes it just a little bit quieter, but still not enough

Or wait when devs add volume steps tweak to roms... It's nice tweak...
Really want to keep it stock. I'll get into a ROM spin if I start... And i dont want to start as i wont stop.
Would just prefer this phone as is. Still a little app would be great.

Interestingly, when I use the phone volume button rocker to change the TV volume (via the ir remote app), one push on the phone moves 3-4 increments on the tv

Right!
'Fine volume control' from app store seems to work.
FYI volume at its lowest on this phone is 8% which is rather too high.

This is my biggest bugbear with this phone. On minimum volume, both on speaker and headset, it's way too loud. I hope HTC realise this and fix it soon.
OT - does anyone else hear a constant annoying clicking through the headset, even when there is no music playing? I hope HTC fix this too.
there is a mod in the trickdroid thread to increase volume steps. i think its around post 5400

how to make nexus 7 loudest

The speaker are to low i even install dsp manager still low. What anyone recommend?
Maybe its your device. My device is plenty loud even at the loud setting.
Is it a problem across different apps that stream audio?
You can try volume+ I guess

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.
Noozxoide EIZO-rewire has 3 configurations for line out, bluetooth, and wireless. Lots of custom features, runs on N7 FHD and its free.

Set the eq for speaker, bluetooth, or headset to higher values. Have you tried dsp before?

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.

How do I play mono sound?

My top speaker is blown and the bottom speaker doesn't play the full songs it leaves stuff out and Idk how to switch to mono I've been searching for like 2 hours and the closest I got is boella sound control but I don't know if the nexus 7 supports those kernels and power amp but I don't have any cash to buy it any suggestions? Please and thanks

You need some sort of sound mod that supports mono. The old Voodoo sound app is an example of a sound mod that had an option for Mono output. I don't recall seeing a mono option in any sound mod that was not a root needed app since they typically need to be supported by the kernel.
If you are on 4.3 you could check if viper4android has a mono option for speakers. I think I vaguely remember saying they added it. And I don't know the status of viper4android on 4.4 except i didn't see it in the most current 'new features'.
