Hi,
I have the One X and unless you have earphone's plugged in (really nice sound and loud).
It's the external speaker that is pretty quite, is there any apps or anything I can do to make it louder.
New to Android sorry
Thanks
Graham
I thought it was loud, at least louder than DHD and Sensation,no?
Here you go the usual apps:
-Volume+ by meltus
-DSP Manager
DSP manager works better I think on Sense 4.0, just raise the treble in the equaliser.
Don't install both, it will do FC

Any luck with the apps? I find it quiet too.... Also in the car for navigation the max volume is too quiet....
Is your phone rooted or not? Not sure if it has to be to sort the volume out?
Thanks.
Yeah, external speaker of one x is lame compare to my old phone Sony arc. I tried playing the same mp3 song with them at same time both on maximum volume and really noticed the big difference.

Volume+ can boost it a bit (not by very much though, DSPManager will probably be a little louder on this phone). The only problem is that the speakers crackle and 'pop' after a sound is played, probably a combination of firmware and terrible quality HTC speakers.
I have noticed that something is compressing the hell out of the external speaker too (probably 'beats'), which seems to be limiting the volume.

Hi,
I am using DSP manager and it has made a difference, unlike volume+ it doesn't over do it and sound like it's going to damage the speaker.
The thing that annoys me is plug headphone's in and it is so loud and a brilliant sound for a phone.
My phone is rooted but I don't think it needs to be done.
Thanks
Graham
It's not as loud as Xperia S for sure (the loudest Android phone ever) but it's louder than Sensation and Nexus 1 out of the box.
I don't have a One X yet but tried it in several shops,volume+ and DSP will surelly give the extra power to hear your phone ring in the busy streets.
Graham good to see you resolved it
Thanks, want to try dsp manager.... Is it not on the market or?
Me myself and I are running Android Revolution HD 6.0 with Perseus 29 kernel on my grey Note 2. With this perseus kernel you have a few audio options through sTweaks but I can't get my 24bit 96Khz FLACS sound like I would like to.. The bass keeps sounding a little woozy.. I would like to have cleaner bass and a little more detailed mids.
I am doing my listening test with 3 pairs of headphones (Stock Samsung earphones, B&W C5 in-earphones and cheapass Sehnheiser HD201 headphones)
I am using different albums for my test containing: Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon, Michael Jackson - Thriller, Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid, Beatles - Love. These albums are all 24 bits and 88.2Khz or 96khz and played with Neutron Music Player.
Mods and apps I tried:
AC!D (works but better without stweaks.. stweaks seems to overrule some stuff wich results in distortion)
Awesome Beats (doesn't seem to work on my rom and kernel)
Neutron Music Player (Fine player with some nice audiophile options but poor interface)
Sony Walkman Player (Doesn't want to install)
sTweaks (Haven't found right settings for it yet and I don't want it to interfere with AC!D)
The problem is them interfering with each other.. I think AC!D does a fine job but its interfering witch sTweaks I guess.. Still some sort of distortion.
What do you run on your Note 2 to get the purest audiophile possible sound out of it? Please also note what rom and kernel you are running not every mod is compatible with every rom or kernel.
Have you tried installing Beats audio Installer [ROOT] from the Play store it helped my sound alot make sure you make a nand backup though you cant un install it.
What rom and kernel are you running this Beats installer on?
Im using omega 8.0 rom with the acid mod installed and sony walkmann player. im only using stock headphone atm but the sound is great on them.
Ive included in the post the sony walkman app that works with my note 2 and the acid mod which needs to be flashed via cwm. If this helps please hit the thanks button.

I don;t know how you find it, but I used this for a while then uninstalled as was draining my battery too quickly. Walkman standalone fine, but not with the mod. However Beats worked well with Walkman.
In my mind there is currently no doubt which kernel has the best wolfson mod: neak. It's a combination of scoobydoo and another mod whose name escapes me.
Perhaps its bass frequency tuning will remedy some of your issues. The mids are also more pronounced when using dac direct in my opinion.
All these software mods never impressed me, no offense to anyone.

Would you please comment on the ability to control the headphone amplifier and the Media Volume independently like could be performed on the SGS with Voodoo Sound? I don't have a Note 2 yet--- one of my main purchasing decisions is based on the ability to use Scoobydoo/STweaks to control the headphone amplifier volume independently. Thanks in advance.

Yes, sort of, in neak there is a volume hack similar to the one in voodoo, which makes you able to override the channel volume, so that the end result is about the same as with voodoo.
Your situation sounds very much like mine, I came from the sgs and took a leap of faith hoping that some voodoo mod would arise at some point, and it did! :thumbup:

Interesting, I suppose I will have to see how development for the Verizon variant goes. Hopefully, I will be able to find a way to get Scooby/STweaks working like Voodoo. It is hard to try until I get the device, but my upgrade is at the end of the week!
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
In case anybody cares, Perseus kernel with Stweaks allows to independently control headphone amplifier volume and media volume. It is essentially the same features as Voodoo, but without the Voodoo app. It is under the Audio section of Stweaks.
Awesome!
ok i got a pair f beats solo and they are overwellmed if i turn up the volume all the way up ... and i was able to do that by frst rooting my device and flashing UNEAK kernel it comes with wolfson audio and just go to play store and download uNEAK engine app and you will have close to pc sound out of your note 2 just make sure your headphones can handle the power your phone will put out .. like i said i got a pair of solos that cant keep up .. its time to upgrade my headphones ... power amp player is a good player too alot of otions but love the MUSIC SQUARE FEATURE ON STOCK PLAYER
The volume is too low with the stock earphone, I don't know how is it with another earphone or maybe the cause of walkman, etc...
Did anybody have the same problem?

The sony ones that came with it? for me they are ear blasting loud compaired to the Samsung ones I have.
The headphones are of great qualty but i find sony walkmans equalizer as well as sonys sound enhancements a bit lame at times.
If your about acoustics or clarity then walkman is up your alley but if your looking for grinding bass & hearing damage volumes i suggest third part app or flashing a mod or custom rom that has volume hacks included in its package.
Apollo combined with dsp equalizer is the ususal music player to be in most custom roms. I really like this player very simple an the dsp is just perfect.
For the xperia zl there are a couple sound mods that can be flashed but i have not found a significant difference in loudness when flashed. so i use jet audio. i tweak the equalizer from the app and damn is it loud. the app even gives you the option to have a 20 band equalizer plus loads more of features.
Here are the threads for sound mods . maybe you might find a difference in volume. I didnt.

Looks like u r used to louder music. So, have you tried some other headphones/earphones? I think you should, coz those which came with my Note2 were much louder than the stock ZL ones. Btw, I find the stock ones good & loud enough for my use (any louder ones give me earache) & I prefer using Walkman for music (clear audio mode).
Volume+ app will increase the volume for you.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
turning on the ClearAudio+ solves the problem for me.
In normal circumstances, I find the volume to be loud enough with ClearAudio turned on. But when I need head thumping, mind numbing, skull rattling bass (sound purists die!!) (i.e while running or working out), turning on the Extreme Bass in PowerAmp is the only option. But then, the volume goes very low. On the Note 2, since there was quite a headroom until the max volume was reached, it was all good. But with the ZL, no bueno :crying:
Gonna try some Samsung in-ears and see how they perform. Will report back here.

Which bluetooth earphones exactly?
If u guys want heavier bass (than default walkman) through in ear headphones (stock or others), try this app (no root req). It, however, doesn't increase/boost the overall volume level.

How are people dealing with the audio problems on the Mi Max? It is affecting the Global MIUI 7&8 and the China MIUI 8 ROM. Xiaomi has done nothing despite many complaining on the MIUI forums for months. Even the latest ROM has the same problems.
The output through the headphone jack is half the volume it should be. You can easily listen to YouTube at full volume and it's not even loud. Also the sound quality is appalling with quiet vocals and heavy bass even without using the system EQ (which crashes anyway in MIUI 7). There is also a noticeable hissing/static though headphones for a few seconds before and after a system sound plays, but listening to music doesn't have the same problem.
Considering its a standard Qualcomm DAC used in many phones its terrible what Xiaomi has done to mess up the output. My Mediatek powered phone from 2012 sounds so superior and with the Mi Max being a media consumption aimed phone it's a real poor effort.
I believe the phone is taking a low internal DAC output (caused by a bug) and amplifying it hence the distorted sound and low max volume. It's the only thing I'm extremely disappointed with and wondered how others are handling the issue?
By ditching MIUI...!?
Does the Mi Max not have these issues running CM etc?
I'm sure many are currently using MIUI and I won't be ditching it at least until the years warranty is up, also want to see what MIUI 9 is like based on Nougat.

I can confirm the low headphone volume bug exists for some media/music player apps on the miui 8 global rom. However, there's an easy workaround. Open Google play music app and play an audio file in that app. Increase the headphone volume from that app beyond the 'Warning: high volume can damage hearing' volume level. Leave the headphone volume at the highest setting. Close Google play music app. The next time you play audio in your preferred media player (other than Google play music), it should already be fixed. If you don't have Google play music, you can download it from Google Play store.

That wasn't necessary... I am well aware of all things about Mi Max from day one.
And you were asking about CM so...
I thought my new earphones were faulty when I used them in my Mi Max. I was going to give them away but then I read about sound problems on Mi Max. Both my xiaomi phones have poor sound quality, mi4 always had poor quiet sound.
The low volume has been fixed for me on g8
There's some cracking but that's sorted by clean cache in the play music app there's also a equaliser in the app settings
This is a workaround for get high volume during listening to music by using IEM/Headphone. Only work with poweramp v3 alpha build 703/704
(Please Google it for APK. It's free in Poweramp forum)
Install poweramp v3 alpha, go to setting > resampler.
Select resampler type > SoX
Resampler cutoff frequency ratio > 97% ~ 99%
Dither > Improved e-weighted noise shaping (Poweramp indicate it slow but actually it fast enough)
Tap back button and select Hi-Res Output and then turn on Wired headset/aux (it will upsampled lossy format thus higher volume and audio quality improved a little bit. Another thing is make sure the 24-bit Snapdragon DAC is activated during listening session).
WARNING: Lower the volume at 20% or lower before activating Hi-Res output during playback. Trust me you'll thanks me later xD
If you can hear distorted sound at high volume, go to replay gain (RG), set preamp for songs without RG info to -7dB. (Just to make sure the sound is not clipping).
The Mi Max audio quality is pretty good even the DAC is just an integrated DAC.
In the screenshot is DSD128 playback. Working but it was downsampled. As for 24bit/96kHz source, it will upsampled to 192kHz.
Thank you for the replies. I have tried upping to volume in Google Play Music and it did increase the volume in other apps by around 20% so it's a start and thank you for the tip but it's still not really near the quality and loudness it should be for a stock Qualcomm 652 DAC. I will give the V3 Poweramp beta trick a try. I am currently using the Poweramp Pro to listen to music and the Mi Max sounds poor.
Basically Xiaomi need to go through how MIUI is handling audio and overhaul it imo, and hopefully version 9 won't need any of these work arounds because I've never had trouble on other budget phones... or I'm off to another ROM!

If you want more loudness still, louder than what the stock MIUI 8 can give you, I suggest you install music players with a 'pre-amp'. Neutron is one of my favorites among 'audiophile' grade music players (though I like BSPlayer more due to its multimedia capabilities). You can download the trial version of 'Neutron' at Google playstore (or purchase the full version if you are satisfied with the player.) Here are screenshots of Neutron music player where the pre-amp was adjusted (above zero) so as to increase the Mi Max's maximum attainable headphone volume (without buying an external portable headphone amp). Please note that too high a pre-amp setting can cause audio clipping which results to bad sound quality.
As to sound quality, yes the Mi Max headphone sound quality is really poor out of the box (MIUI 8). I have an Audio technica ATH-M50s/LE headphones which I used to listen to FLAC music on my previous Huawei Mate 7 phone. The sound quality was just ethereal. It's like listening to live musicians. I missed the headphone sound quality on my Mate 7 [DTS enabled] using the Audio technica as my headphones and BSPlayer as my preferred player (highlights the Audio Technica's strengths). Anyway, when I changed to the Mi Max, I used the same Audio Technica headphones only to be disappointed. I found out the Mi Max can't quite match the Mate 7's music reproduction [headphone DTS enabled] using the same music player (BSPlayer) or any music player for that matter. Fortunately, the Mi Max comes with headphone settings and a built in equalizer. Did a little experimentation and came up with the following settings that managed to somehow 'resemble' what my previous Mate 7 phone was able to deliver with regard to sound quality. Please note your mileage may vary depending on the quality of the headphones you use and your preferred media or music player:
1. Set Mi sound enhancer to 'ON'. Choose 'Mi headphones'.
2. Set the equalizer as follows:
These settings should improve the Mi Max's sound quality tremendously... Well, at least from my experience --- using the same Audio technica headphones and BSPlayer music player as audio player. I've saved the custom equalizer settings above as 'Mate7' because it reminds me of the sound quality of my previous Mate 7 phone. It's not a perfect match, but at least it comes close. Please note you really need good quality over-the-ear headphones if you want to overcome the Mi Max's 'poor headphone audio' shortcomings. Alternate headphones that I have thoroughly listened to and would also highly recommend are the B&W P7 and Sennheiser Momentums. I would have bought the B&W P7 had I not auditioned the Audio Technica side-by-side it and the Sennheiser Momentums. If you are serious about audio but can't give up the Mi Max for another phone with better audio components, then the recommendations above are about as good as the Mi Max can get.

FYI, the audio quality pretty impressive with IEM (Audio Technica ATH-IM50 and Trinity Audio Engineering Delta). You feel the sound is not quite loud enough because of internal amp suck. Mi Max can't handle high impedance headphone like yours (ATH-M50X). To overcome your problem, you have to pair your Mi Max with portable amp such as fiio e11k.
btw, didnt you noticed your source is clipping too much across low freq??
Actually the 'Neutron' screenshots did not show any headphones attached. The music was played on Mi Max's loudspeakers which can't reproduce low frequency so you can't hear the clipped low frequency sounds. The recording is actually only piano, vocals and cymbals. The low frequency is from instrument feedback (low frequency hum). On my ATH-M50s/LE headphones, that volume level would have been half as much since 100% is already too loud, eliminating the low frequency clipping. I don't need an external amp for my headphones. They're loud enough for me except for some Chesky recordings.
At the end of the day we shouldn't need to do any of these fixes and tweaks to make the sound from the Mi Max reasonable, Xiaomi should fix it but it seems they have very poor customer service when it comes to feedback and bugs. This Qualcomm DAC chipset is in many phones yet they don't have sound quality and loudness issues. I don't expect perfection but the Mi Max out of the box sounds worse than by budget Mediatek powered phone from 4 years ago!
i modded the mixer_paths files to make the sound louder. My roms all include this already. You need to make sure in your build.prop that fluence is enabled by making sure there is a line that says ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluence and make sure the two lines persist.audio.fluence.voicecall and persist.audio.fluence.speaker are set to true. Then flash this in twrp or replace your three mixer paths files in system/etc with the ones in the zip file.

Try out Foobar2000 (available on the Play Store, free & open source) instead of Neutron & you can skip the entire default sound processing with usage of the Open SL sound output & you will find a built in DSP section mostly sufficient. I am against modifying sound picture to much & as much as I sow in GSM Arena review the output sound picture is almost perfect & thick behind iPhone 6s (I plan to buy Max now). Rest is mostly influenced by quality of sound source & used headphones. For more well use dedicated external DAC & Amp.

Would actually rather increase (in small steps) output volume
In <!-- Play Scenario --> section for headphones & speaker if I whose you.
Don't exaggerate with it!
Best regards.
I did the opposite and reduced headphone volume to get rid of the hissing. I had the same problem on the Note 3 Pro, on MIUI 8 and CM13/CM14, so it's down to how the Qualcomm mixers are configured. By reducing gain and turning off companders you're dropping the noise floor. The drawback is that headphone volume is low, so this hack only works well with low impedance IEMs like Xiaomi Pistons.
1. Get rooted, open up all mixer_path_*.xml files in /system/etc.
2. Change HPHL Volume and HPHR Volume to a low value like 2.
3. Change any Comp* Switch values to 0.
4. Change RX HPH Mode to CLS_H_HIFI
5. Reboot and enjoy.

Ok, audio via phone Bluetooth connection question.
I recently exchanged my Samsung Galaxy S9 for a OnePlus 7T, and I notice that with the new phone, I have to play music on my car radio (Kia Forte) at a higher level of sound. Sound quality is good though. Has anyone had a similar experience, be it an Android or an iOS phone? Thanks!
I've been trying to work this out myself.
I moved from a Galaxy S8 to a OnePlus 7t and I stream my music via Bluetooth to my JBL Charge 4; I have been feeling like volume has been a lot lower and bass is just not there like it was on the S8. But then I had been flicking between Spotify and Deezer on my S8 so that could have contributed to the confusion as the volumes levels differ a bit on there too.
I'm on 10.0.9 (Stable - EU) and believe it to be quieter and lacking in comparison to Samsung :/
Try dolby atmos equalizer and you can feel the difference of volume boost and audio quality had same problem on my car with sony BT stereo but with that app it's a lot better, give it a try.. You can find it under "oneplus 7t themes apps and mods"

My T-Mobile 7T has the Dolby Atmos equalizer option, and it does help with sound quality, but not overall loudness.
Also, I tried this on my OP, and it more or less helps with a bit louder sound, but not as loud as the Samsung.
