Just wondering if anybody has managed to find a way to boost the headphone volume via usb c?
Previously I would just go into system/vendor/etc/mixer_gains.xml however it seems with our device we don't have this XML file.
The output volume is a bit too low for me, so I was hoping I'd be able to boost it as I have on all my devices in the past.

You can change gain with a custom kernel, no? Right?

Hmm I've only seen an option to adjust speaker and mic gain. Nothing for headphones / headset

Hi all
One minor issue a few people have noted with the Desire is the low default volume. I particularly notice this on the 3.5mm out - when plugged into my car I have to have the stereo seriously cranked to get a decent volume.
None of the ROMs currently floating around have mentioned that they've increased the default or maximum volumes - I recall this being possible from the G1, does anyone know if it is for the Desire? If so, which ROMs have it implemented?
Cheers
Phil
Have you tried downloaing "Volume Control" from the App Market?
There's a few apps called Volume Control:
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-roy-volumecontrol-Aqmj.aspx
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-android-trystania-volumecontrol-jptq.aspx
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.vol-qwmn.aspx
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-revsodev-volumecontrol-zFqC.aspx
I tried the first one and it showed my media and system volume already at the maximum. Was it one of the others?
Cheers
Phil
The volume cant be adusted for the desire at the moment mate;(
JD
Boooooooooo
Cheers for the info though. I'll just keep cranking the stereo and freaking myself out if I switch to CD
Have you tryed louder volume hack ?
Louder Volume Hacks works fine for me, at least with my bluetooth headset
I was under the impression only the T-Mobile ROM had its volume reduced due to some EU regulations and people who flashed the stock ROM had much improved volume. Why wouldn't the cooked ROMs also have standard levels?

My stock T-Mobile ROM had this problem (UK). Sounded awful on line-out from the headphone socket. The vanilla HTC rom doesn't suffer from this problem - it's fine. You'll need to make a goldcard and flash your device.
If the Vanilla ROM doesn't have the low volume problem then how about the Pays and other ROMs?

I have just moved from Touch HD to the HTC Desire I was supprised about low the level of sound output comparing the the HD.
Any hint to solve this will be more than welcome
Isn't it the Kernel that cause the problem like the Nexus ?!

Cheers for the heads-up Señor Womble. If I'm going to flash, I'll probably root at the same time - I guess if it's just a T-Mobile thing then all the rooted roms will be based off stock and be louder too?
Should find out this weekend
i had the tmobile rom. the volume was very low. but even the generic HTC roms have the same problem. no improvement yet all. its waste of time flasing with a generic rom.
is there something like winmo registry to increase it output volume? or we need to wait for HTC?
Could always buy a headphone amp for £10. I have a Fiio E5, works very well.
Its true most mp3's or fm radio are in quite low volume. However I have some mp3's that play real loud. Believe me - I am a musician and I know what is loud - but these few tracks I cant play on full Desire volume without hurting my ears!
I use Sennheiser headphones and all the mp3's are from CD's converted in Itunes with same settings.
It looks like some tracks are not affected by the volume limit of Desire...

I would have to strongly disagree there. My experience is that it was 100% the fault of the T-Mobile ROM and the generic unbranded Virgin ROM solved my volume issues, as well as an issue I was having with my SD card.
Sorry, double post.
Hey guys is their anyway we can get a line out mod in any of the custom roms. There isn't a way to use this feature currently that I'm aware. Any help would be great and I think that this is a much needed feature for audiophiles and/or people looking to listen to their music via aux input in their automobiles.
how specifically are you trying to mod the line-out? Make it output via FM Radio? Or make it output louder audio from the AUX port? If so, I know you can use an auxilary ampifier to make it louder, but software wise I no of no such thing. There probably is something out there, I'm just too lazy to look
Where would I find a aux amplifier at?

Can't say I understand what you are trying to achieve. Could you elaborate it a little more?
When you try to hook up your GN to a aux input or say a pair of speakers, the volume is unlistenable to say the least. Their is no way that I know of to improve this sound or quality that I have found. For info more see this link http://www.head-fi.org/t/582179/samsung-galaxy-nexus/60
Use Volume+ 1.8 . It will boost the headset volume to whatever level u need. Search for it in the forums. That should solve ur problem!

Get one from Dealextreme. I use the FiiO E5 to take the audio signal from my Xbox 360 cable straight into my headphones. You just connect the E5 inline with the two 3.5mm connectors and it has a volume control independent of the source!

I also use that, it works well with wireless beats. Are your headphones bluetooth or wired? I know where to turn the Volume up in the system but only works for Speaker and wired headphones.
Mine are wired. Viper has independent controls

I like the viper as well been using a little over a year now. If you wanted to change the volume you can look in system/etc/default gain.conf
If you open that up with a editor or put onto a computer and open up youll see some default numbers that you can raise and it will make the volume louder.Its pretty easy to understand if you were to open up.It has a description of what numbers are what sound. Im sure your fine with viper but just giving you the option just in case you wanted to learn something.
Is there a way to boost the bluetooth volume on the G3? I used to have a G2 and used the flashable zip in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799537&nocache=1.
Is there an entry in the mixer_paths.xml that I can edit for this? I looked through it but wasn't sure which value to change. I found a few threads in the themes and apps section for volume boosting but none had a specific bluetooth volume setting.

Downloaded that app but don't see anywhere in it to increase the bluetooth volume. Which option would it be? Headphones, Speakers, Handset, or Aux?

Fot BT audio I think you have to set up Handset, change it to 65, apply, reboot and let me know if it works for you. You must be rooted.

Are you running a custom kernel? If so, check if your kernel has audio boost options.

No I'm running the stock kernel on Cloudy 2.5. I tried editing the mixer paths Advanced Headset but that didn't seem to increase the bluetooth either.
Anyone ever find a solution to this? I just got my G3 yesterday... running rooted 24B stock right now, but the low BT volume stinks! Do you guys know of any fixes or stock-based kernels that support bluetooth volume boosts?
Using a F3 and the volume via Bluetooth is too low. I don't have the "absolute volume" under BT or developer setting. Is there any other work arounds to making the volume go higher?
Yeah I also noticed the same issue. The absolute volume option becomes available once you connect your bt device to the phone. Although turning it off doesn't seem to make a difference.

Thought someone would have a work around by now.
You could try a different version of Bluetooth I suggest 1.4 and that still don't work then try another Bluetooth device if you still have low volume then install custom ROM
