is it normal or not? the left(top near the front cam) speaker is much louder then the right?
also is there any apps to improve sound loudness? thanks
Get Faux's kernel and his sound mod app. Only thing as far as I know that can change volume for the whole system.

I think that's a hardware problem.. My n7 is plenty loud and both speakers are equally loud as well. You could always try faux, but if it remains you'll have to exchange your n7.
thanks i'll try to get faux kernel, would rather stick to stock
might be i have bad ears and bad case that blocks the speakers

Does anyone know...
When I go to Play store it says this app needs custom kernel for "full functionality"...if you use it on stock, what does it do, if anything? Whats the gap between partial and full functionality?
Thanks.

I have no luck finding an app that can help my speaker sound better, downloaded a couple of EQ apps but the sound was bad, did you guys know any app out there that could make the sound of the speaker be great?
Volume+ ...... you can use it to control EQ. works pretty well

Yeah Volume+, just like the other 20 threads about this recommend.

Well, first I did say that Volume+ and 4.0.4 but then I editted it because I realized you were asking boosting of sound quality.
4.0.4 does address the problem with speaker being too low. I don't even need Volume+ anymore, but I keep it anyways just incase I need to bump it up even louder although I don't think it's necessary.
The app comes with a equalizer that you can play around with to make quality better. The app itself is free (legally) on the dev's website if you want to give it a trial run before buying. Just go to the Volume+ page and visit the dev's website as its linked on that page
Out of curiosity, does anyone know why audio volume is so low on CM9 ROMS at least compared to stock and CM7 ROMS? Does anyone know of a way to increase them? I've tried Beats Audio, which definitely improves the quality of the sound, but not really the volume. I'm talking about the speaker by the way...headphone audio is fine.

Riddle me this: how is it that an application like "Lookout Mobile Security" can make my phone scream with a loud volume but when I go to play some media or music on my Nexus it is so soft? What is "Lookout..." doing that no other app can replicate in getting a decent volume?
You must remember, its playing a sound designed to be loud and heard, not a low quality song.

I have noticed when I first got my GN that the speaker volume was pretty weak for videos/youtube/music... whatever really. I use high quality mp3 (320 bit rate) for all my music btw.
There are some apps to help with this of course.
1) Volume+ works great and would fix your problems of low volume alone.
2) If you're really into modding your phone. franco.Kernel Also has options to increase volume and improve sound quality.
I use both of them and the sound quality on my GN speakers is what I prefer now. Sounds great. I know it sucks to have to buy apps to improve something that should be granted out of the box for such a high end phone but it is what it is.
All Galaxy Nexus kernels have sound boost in them.

I do have volume + (free) and it does nothing I can tell, to enhance the sound,,, but If I purchase the app, you say there is a difference?
Volume+ definitely works with the paid version. Or I just use equalizer which works and is free.

I have the paid one, so I can't speak to the free one. I just set the speaker volume to +10 on my GN and it sounds really stronger then stock.
Also description on Free:
A Cyanogen Mod 7 or MIUI ROM is HIGHLY recommended. Running this app on a Stock ROM/Kernel may result in it not working, being far too quiet, or getting even quieter. PLEASE don't comment or rate badly if you are on a Stock ROM as this is most likely the problem.
Thanks.

I have noticed the newer AOKP builds 37/38/39 have much louder sound. Not sure if it is the AOKP Build or the new version of Lean Kernel, but I did notice my alarm is much louder than before.
I just got a new GPad GPE, I love it, but the speakers sound TERRIBLE.
Music sounds very muffled with a "tinny" quality. I haven't heard anything this bad on a portable device before.
Is this a common problem with GPads? Or should I look at sending it back.
Thanks!
Mine is fine as my other devices.

If you are using my kernel, you can adjust the gain and other speaker settings using either Trickstermod or the Faux sound application. The driver for sound control in my kernel is not "the latest", and you will get told as much if you download the Faux app, but it is what works on our kernel. Adjusting from Trickster worked for me. It's not a total solution, but much, much better than nothing!

Hello!
Could you post your settings?
thx
Upon using this device for few days, I found out how bad the speakers sound. The highs are extremely muffled out. I also found why it sounds this bad. There is a significant bass boost effect already applied, and you can't un-bass-boost it. You can check this in the equalizer settings in Google Play Music. In fact, after I messed around in the eq app I downloaded, turning the highs way up, it sounds significantly better. But still, it can't give the same effect as reverting the bass boost effect. That's why I want to know if there is a way to override the factory settings and revert back the bass boost effect. And yes, I don't mind the root methods.
Try V4A?
Hey there, we're going to make some audio adjustments so sound should be a markedly better.
When should I expect this update?

Very keen to know when this will be released as well. Just using basic notification sounds, I get dreadful 'hissing' as the sound file tails off. Its really bad. Vibrates like crazy watching videos. It's definitely over eq'd and/or too much gain.

Is that gonna be a software update?
Right now, we're not sure if this audio tuning will make our next MR update, but indeed it is a software update that can help with the audio.
It's been a month. Do you guys have a plan for the next update?

I'm also excited for the next update. Sounds like you guys are fixing all my issues at once (camera, speakers, and heat). Basically waiting for that before I sell off my nexus 6p.
Received the update! It's freaking amazing how much the speakers and the sound output has improved. Didn't expect this much of improvement. Thanks guys!

Yeah I hope so too. I use an eq app to turn the volume down. Also is it just me that the left and the right channel of the audio switches for a split second randomly?

Does anyone here have a successfully working plan for Viper on Robin? I've ended up having to adjust the CPU through Kernel Adiutor in order to eliminate crackling/popping while on ViperAtmos Stock 4.7. I just want this phone to sound great. Otherwise, it's perfect. Thank You!

What adjustments did you make? When playing music and screen turns off music stutters horribly. Unbearable.
