confused: - you have the app - you have the phone - why not try it ?
start off low and work your way up so you don't blow anything at the high levels.
Hi All is there anyway to increase the bluetooth headset volume? Ive tried using volume+ and flashing some of the Audio tools iin the Theme forum, but my bluetooth volume is still low on this phone. I can barely hear the other person on the other end. Any suggestions? Is there any way to get a better profiles? Im using a Motorola H385, it works fine on any other phone, but low on this galaxy s3.
Same here I have the Motorola Hx55 the volume was very high on my IPhone 4 but very low on my Galaxy Note 2. One thing I noticed is when playing music its very loud I have to turn it down but when in calls turned all the way up I barely can hear.

I was wondering if anyone is hardware level control of the headphone out?
I would like some more power for my headphones. The equalizer trick doesn't really work well.
Try a new rom (if you're rooted) flash HYPERDRIVE RSL11(latest version) and while you're on the aroma installation it will give u the option to increase the volume of your speakers, headphones, call etc.. To 50% louder or ridiculously to a 100% more so for example your phone volume it's at 50% on volume, with that choice if you choose the 50% increase your phones volume will b at 100% instead of 50% and if you chose 100% then it will be at a 150% Louder.
Trust me I'm using that rom and it works awesome but be aware that could damage your speakers or ears and also it has some issues, not so bug. Your signal will only go away for a couple seconds at boot but other than that, that's it...

This works for me and I'm on Tmobile stock ROM unrooted.

If you are rooted...You can manually edit audio output % in buildprop also.
There are plenty of guides out there, but it's not too complicated..
Is everyone's notification volume lower than full volume? Notification volume as in ringtone, alarm, and notification sounds.
I can go to Zedge and preview a ringtone, and it sounds great. I set it as my default ringtone, and it is only 2/3 the volume the preview was. My stock notification sounds also seem to be about 2/3 volume.
I have went into every setting I can imagine, with no results. If anyone has any ideas how I can fix this without root, or at least test it out and confirm it is a Pixel thing, I will feel better. Lol. Thanks!

Everything is max. I'm not sure what it could be. It may be this way on all of them. I just noticed BC I don't have the best hearing and need the extra volume that I seem to be missing. I go to find the loudest ringtone I can find, then set it, and notice it isn't quite as loud as the preview was. I had to do a couple tests to make sure I wasn't just imagining it. It isn't a huge difference. Like I said seems like maybe 2/3 as loud. Maybe closer than 2/3 but quieter non the less.

maybe i dont notice it but it sounds pretty close to me and its loud. maybe they have a audio booster for videos and audio and the notifications are set differently.
Thanks for the response. My friend got his pixel yesterday. I'll do some side by side tomorrow and see for sure. Maybe I'm just getting old. Lol.
I just got the pixel xl yesterday and I'm noticing the exact same issue as you. Any alert, ringtone, text alert, alarm etc. When listening to music or to the original alert on Zedge its normal volume. As soon as that same alert is set as a notification it's significantly lower volume. I rebooted in safe mode and same issue so must not be an app related issue.
Coming from a Nexus 6 and 6P, I'm noticing this too. I usually keep my XL in the same desk dock that I used for my 6p, so at first I attributed the lower volume to the sound from the down firing speaker being absorbed by the dock. However, I'm noticing it when it isn't docked too, so I'll be following this thread for a solution.
Mine is also too low. The only phone I have had in the last few years that was loud enough was the Nexus 6. I am thinking of trying the WETA rom to see if I can boost the volume.

I've noticed this on the last few devices which were all Nexus. So I think stock Android is the main culprit. Earlier today the sound was really low. And I noticed because the lock sound it makes when pushing the power button was low. Seemed a reboot fixed it for me but it happens periodically. Did anyone happen to sideload the J build that was accidentally released in Canada?

I had the Nexus 6p
before the pixel xl, never had this problem....not sure wtf is going on but it's aggravating
I have the exact same issue as the first post 7 months latter! Just got my Pixel XL 3 days ago. The default messages notification sound is just not loud enough on max. I got some louder sounds from the Zedge app. When I listen to it on Zedge, it is louder than I need it. Then I text myself and it is about 2/3 to 1/2 of what I get when I listen though Zedge. I can't hear it form across my house, it is very annoying. Did not have this problem with my iPhone 6s - and the volume was not on max. On the Pixel all 3 volumes are on max. Tried to adjust volume while the phone notifies - that did not help either. I am missing messages. Any ideas would be appreciated.

That's odd. I've only had my Pixel XL for about 5 weeks but all the volumes seem plenty loud to me. You can change the default notification sound to something longer or more noticeable or you can set the phone to vibrate as well when you receive notifications. You can also set notifications to blink the light on the top of your phone which might alert you if you do miss one. Good luck.
Just got a Pixel (not XL) and found this thread and same issue.
If you go above 50% on the ringtone volume it is fine and the notification and ringtone volume are the same, however anything less is definitely noticeably softer.
A way to fix is is to use a MP3 gain modifier but hopefully they fix it in Android O.
For me the most annoying thing about this phone is that the minimum volume is too loud. I use the phone at night and I need low volume. For now I use equalizer apps... I've tried lot of them but they are unreliable and I can't leave them always on because they also decrease the maximum volume and during the day I can barely hear the speaker.
On my previous phones I used to edit some values in the mixer_paths.xml file, located in etc/ folder.
The problem is that the moto Z2 play does not have any mixer_paths.xml file at all and I don't know where to look for.
If that was bothering me that much, I would change ringtone, some aren't as loud as others. Just an idea; I have that issue also.
Or make one with lower volume, set at night time.

It's not about ringtones, it's about youtube/media. Meanwhile, I've found mixer_paths.xml file, it was in vendor/etc/, now I have to understand which value I have to edit
Gotcha, I didn't realize the issue. Glad you figured it out.
Someone has it edited mixer_paths¿originalmz2f_.xml
