[Q] Any way to increase Bluetooth headset Mic recording volume?

Hi,
I'm currently using ARHD21 rom. I've noticed that the recording volume using my Bluetooth headset is very low.
I'm using BTmono app to route the Mic so it will record from Bluetooth headset.
I've tried with Jabra Supreme, Jabra Sports, i-tech voice clip 609s, and Samsung's Bluetooth. Using with apps like Voxer, Palringo, WeChat and the free voice recorder.
All resulted in volume at least 40% lower then other android phone. Tried all the same headset, on Samsung S3 and a Samsung knock off android phone.
Recording from phones built in Mic and wired headset is ok though..
Need help, I'm literally shouting to get my voice heard when using Palringo with my friends. Out of 52 online I'm always the one with the lowest volume.

Oh btw, I tried using the old ARHD ICS rom, same results. Have not tried switching to stock.
I'm the only guy in my group using htc phone, so could not compare.
Only PTT app I use that yielded same volume level is Zello but had to set the recording amplifier within the app to max.
Even iPhone users on Bluetooth had louder volume.

Not really ROM specific, just stated ROM I'm using.. Think it's one x specific
I doubt it has anything to do with the ROM

Quiet speaker volume

The volume from the speakers is pretty quiet. I have to turn the volume up to 100 just to hear dialog. Some reviews I have read mentioned the speakers were plenty loud, however that is not what I am experiencing. It happens with music and video. Any one else having this issue?
I have tried speaker booster from the play store and it helps a little.

Return it. I have zero problems with my speakers. They are very loud. When playing games I only have the volume up about 2 clicks from off.

You've tried different apps for video? Or games? Everything is quiet? Mine is quite loud unless the video itself is quite quiet.

I believe mine is on the quiet side also....my note 2 is much louder...

What vidoes or music did you play? It is mostly loud for me. Some youtube is louder then streaming from a tv app. Voices in the streaming apps are quiet.

Loudness is relative. I think its plenty loud. However I think all mobile devices suck, clip and distort at relative low volumes.... so...

I'm experiencing a similar situation with both games and videos. With the volume midway I can barely hear a thing with my ear pressed to the speaker. Using headphones I still have it set to full and find it lacking. One of the main reasons I bought the tablet was screen resolution and supposed sound quality...my kindle HD makes this sound like a joke. With the other comments here I'm wondering if I do in fact have a malfunctioning unit. Just five minutes ago I had my first random reboot too...

I returned my nexus and the new one is much louder. It was definitely a problem with the speakers.

is there a loudness BEATS audio or any mods apk file that improves the sound? i find it too low

Really? Looks like I'll be doing that today.

I too definitely find the speakers to be lacking. Videos on YouTube are very low and music is not anywhere near what I thought it would be! They made a big deal about the Fraunhofer audio but I am pretty disappointed.

I agree that the audio is quite low especially when compared to my S4. BUT the sound quality is better. I guess its give and take.

How can you tell the sound quality is better if you can't even hear it???
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2

Many apps, videos and music files are quiet on mine too. It's the file not the tablet. For a song I just download from somewhere else. For apps you can edit the apk or just live with it. not much you can do unless you are quite familiar with computers.

Samsung Milk (like Pandora but better)

Here is the modded build of Milk that will run on any device:

I would say the mod version of Pandora is better

I like this one better. Doesn't slacker radio have more music also?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

I installed this on my phone and I feel like the sound output via earbuds is distorted. I listened to one song via Milk and the same exact song via Google Music and the one on Milk sounded distorted and not good. The Bass was entirely too blown out. I don't know if it is a conflict with Boomsound or what, but via stock music player and via Google Music everything sounds awesome.

Great to hear. I have noticed this problem as well actually. I get this with certain tracks on both this and Pandora. I'll confess to being a bit of an audiophile (yes, also a bitrate snob), and every once in a while I will just have to banish a song from playing on a station.

Resolution to Bluetooth headset volume?

I was just wondering if there ever was a fix for the Bluetooth headset volume problem. During my time using my M7 I used my PS3 Bluetooth headset and never had volume issues, but with the M8 I can barely hear out of the headset with all of the volumes maxed.
The idea of hands-free it defeated if one has to hold their headset in to hear anything.

Going to guess from the silence that it's a no on a resolution and the M8 is just flawed when it comes to Bluetooth audio. Strange though, because you'd figure there'd be some sort of fix for it somewhere out there.

There has to be a missing setting

I put my 10 side by side with my LG V10 and played multiple songs and video clips and the htc is consistently inferior on quality and volume. Like not even close. Have tried theater and music mode.
Am i missing something? Stock setup. Was so looking forward to an M8 like sound experience but so far am not impressed.
Dud unit?
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Dud don't think so. I also believe that the speakers on this phone is inferior to the Moto x pure. It sounds good but not loud enough.
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Loudness and clarity are two totally different things. Is it not clear or loud enough because coming from an M8 my 10 sounds clearer/cleaner.

It's not near as loud but also doesn't sound nearly as crisp. Almost tinny on my htc.

Do you have it in theater or music mode? The former for videos and the latter for songs.
