I would like to use my Evo as a MP3 player when I exercise like I used to with my old Sony Ericssons and my iPhones, but the sound quality compared to just about every other phone or mp3 player I have ever owned is not very good.
Right now I am running Ava's Z3 ROM. It's supposed to have some audio enhancements. I also bought PowerAmp and use DSP Manager. I configure and tweak as much as I can. I would like the sound to be a bit louder through the headphones. The phone speaker and in-call volume are fine.
As far as I am aware there is no way whatsoever on this planet that the headphone volume can be increased, even if just a small amount, to the HTC Evo.
So beyond what I have done already, does anyone have any more ideas on how to get better sounding and perhaps louder music without actually having to change the mp3 itself?
Thanks!
Change your kernel.
There was just a thread about this here:

I listen to music on mine all day long in a pretty loud environment (well, a lot of fan noise anyway) with no issues at about 3/4 volume . . . so I think the problem some people are having are with the earbuds/headphones they are using. Maybe try some with a lower impedance.

I read that some kernals can up the speaker volume and in-call volume but don't have much effect on media stuff, especially when it comes to headphones.
Is there a specific kernal you know of that boosts headphone volume?
Thanks!

Sorry I did a search, but just in the Q&A forum.
Some people are happy with the volume of the phone. I'm just used to things being a bit louder. When I'm running I hate hearing the sound of my feet and the wind etc..etc. The headphones I use have an impedance of 16. Is that too much?
So I just got a lg g3 today and I rooted it and I installed viper4android but it seems that the audio performance isnt so great. I had a HTC m8 with viper 4android and using the same headphones that i used on my g3. The m8 sounded way better and it would hold its bass and not sound distorted but on my g3 I can't have a clear sound it sounds distorted with the same v4a setting from the m8. So my question is ,can I swap the m8 audio drivers/proccesor on my g3? Or is there any alternatives ? Thank you !!I
Why would you mod G3 as it has one of the cleanest audio output out there?
I thought the same thing about my m7s audio. it was superb. The G3 just can't compete . It also sounded way better when paired with my mylink in my car
I haven't noticed any sound distortion, and has seemed pretty clean with good bass. Admittedly so far I have only used cheap earbuds, and not any of the decent headphones I have.
I mean it sounds distorted with v4a when I crank the bass up. my m8 never sounded bad like this when I cranked up the bass.
Try poweramp dudes
It won't do anything different it's like the audio driver can't handle a lot of bass or it will sound weird
I've tried viper. And poweramp and both of them do t have really good sound like a stock m7 or please forgive me but an iphone lol
Yes exactly same here idk what it is lol the m8 sense model sound good and the gpe m8 sounded better ,is it the kernel or something ?
I tried enabling art runtime and idk if its just me but it sounds a little better

I know this is a year old post but I would like to answer your question: I just got an LG G3 and I was also under the impression that the sound quality would be stellar. But lo and behold, I plug my headphones and notice that for every touch action performed, there is a hiss lasting about 5 seconds. Every. Damn. Time. And the sound quality (with FLAC files) is as dirty as it gets: distortion and clipping.
I could not believe it. 2014's flagship phone with the crappiest audio I ever heard?
I read about the "make a call at the start of the day" fix (which sounds ridiculous), switching to Bluetooth headphones, or learning to deal with it.
I was losing hope until I was pointed to this thread.
I had to root and edit a system file, no big deal for many of us, but a big deal for other buyers.
Problem is solved and, while the sound quality is now very good, it is so after a fix that involves rooting the phone. So theoretically, the LG G3 has very decent audio quality AFTER you modify its internal settings.
So i replaced my car stereo completly removed it put in a trio tablet as a head unit wired to my factory amp sounded like crap most of the time i got bored and hooked my. G3 up and its stock music player with no tweakes throught the headphone jack sounds better than the tablet with all kinds of auido tweaks all of u need to download g3 volume boost on the market increase all values +8 to 10 on top of stock valuse it makes it louder i get a little distortion +10 or more than stock but sounds great all ways speakerphone headset volume headphone volume and auxilary vol
Okay, so I just want to check if this is normal. If someone could confirm this, I would appreciate it.
Whenever a sound is played on HTC 10, I hear a slight little static sound for 3-4 seconds, and then it disappears. It happens when I use headphones or speaker.
My phone is stock, haven`t messed with some advanced audio settings.
The best way to check this is to go to settings --> Sound & notification --> Notification sound.
Play one of these sounds.
If played through speaker, put the lower part of the phone (where the speaker is) to your ear, you should hear a very slight static sound that disappears 3 seconds after the sound is played.
FIXED : It is kernel related, flashing Elemental kernel v18 (which has Analog gain headphone feature) introduced static noise, reverted back to v16, no static noise anymore.
Credits to @Blue305 for pointing it out and @mosincredible for the helpful posts!

My ear is not the best, but on default settings , without audio gain or audio analog gain, i cannot hear static. Have you modified those settings?

Tho, the speaker part of the soc codec is not in relation with those settings, so just ignore my previous comment.. so basically I can't hear static, but my ears aren't the best, especially with low volume noises.

Thanks for the reply, but no, I have not modified hedphone analog gain or volume gain settings. The static sound can be heard for 3 seconds with headphones as well. Tried 3 pair of headphones, the slight static hiss is always there.
I wonder if this is normal or not
Okay, can someone please check if he has the static sound from speaker/while on headphones ?
Just realised that the static sound/hiss happens only on low impedance headphones, like the HTC headphones that came with the phone, Sennheiser Cx400 and all other average in-ear headphones.
Can someone test this and report back if he has the static sound for 3-4 seconds when a song is paused ?? Or when a youtube video is paused

I can confirm the static is there in the exact way described in the original post. Comes on for 3 to 4 seconds when audio is paused. Tested on stock ROM with latest unlocked US firmware using HTC Pro Studio headphones, Sony EX90s, and the headphones that came with my iPhone 6s.
Edit: The problem is worse in games. From Riptide Renegade to Real Racing 3 to my little boy's Lego games, the low level static is present and does not drop off as it does with video clips and audio.

So you have it as well on a stock phone.
It's worse for me too in games, like for example "Smash hit", I turn the volume all the way down in both game and phone and I still hear that whitenoise static sound. When I go back to homescreen, I hear the static for like 3 seconds more and then it ends Until I go back to the app
For a phone that's reason for being is primarily audio, this is an unforgivable oversight and flaw (in my opinion). Will be returning to HTC.
I expected it to be impedance related and it is. The higher up the impedance latter I go, the more faint the sound is. ie8 > t51i > m50 > dt770 80 ohm > hd600. I prefer higher impedance headphones anyway so this doesn't bother me as I rarely listen to my ie8. I'd give this same test to an iPhone but is have to wait until I get with the girlfriend.

Your sennheiser IE8 headphones have the same impedance like my sennheiser CX400 (16 ohm).
So you hear static as well on these headphones ^^ ??
Maybe it is impedance related, but then again, why would I need to have 500$ high impedance headphones to get rid of static noise that should't even be there. Also, I like my headphones to be discreet, not big, and those are always low impedance (16-32 ohm). This is a serious flaw in my eyes.

Tried the same audio (video, music and games) on my iPhone 6s with the same headphones (listed in my previous post) and had no issues whatsoever. Very unfortunate. The HTC 10 is a beautiful phone and I want to keep it, but this is something that wouldn't happen on a cheap phone from Target. Insane their engineers did not pick this up.

Well, I'll take my statement a step further. Your ability to hear the sound is impedance related. I believe the actual sound is software related. I've experienced it on the past 4 phones I've owned. With the phone that drives my headphones the weakest also being the phone that has minimal noise.

If weaker happens to be aligned with less noise for very low impedance headphones, I'll take the HTC 10 over other options. Does the iPhone drive high impedance headphones to same volume as the 10? And when you're bringing a different OS into the mix, you have a lot of other variables such as how the software handles outputting a sound.
I have the same problem with my Sennheisers CX300 II on elemental kernel.. the funny thing is I've only start to have it this issue after they started playing with the analog gain..

Bingo! After reading this, I went back to v16 of elemental kernel which is before the analog gain feature was added and the static is gone even on my ie8.
I had the same situation as Blue305. Was on cleanslate kernel and then flashed Ex kernel to see battery life and everything, after that started noticing static noise like everywhere.
I thought it wasn`t kernel related
V16 Elemental kernel with no analog gain features fixed it
@ryansc375, do you possibly also have elemental kernel installed or something similar ?

Hey everyone, just finishing up a long day with the family. Read all the posts and will report back now that I have some time to geek out. Hopefully the static demon can be exorcised!
Okay, so after a full wipe and running the latest RUU for the unlocked U.S. version, I can say that the static issue is gone on my phone. I'm not sure what changed but I'm happy it's back to normal (on stock). If I root again and want to install a kernel I'll be sure to use v16 of elementalx or one that doesn't mess with the audio settings.
Tested v19 of Ex Kernel. Static persists. Staying on v16 for now unless a new setting in Ex Manager comes along to fix it.

Hmm, he said he would fix the compounder or something to remove this issue.
Thanks for testing, let him know in his thread.
Coming from Lenovo p2 which has similar designs ( both are from lemoto and the headphone jack and antenna seems to be in similar position). Lenovo p2 has this annoying static noise while using in-ear headphone, yes I say in-ear headphone because it won't happen on earbuds, only iems. I guess that's because earbuds have higher impedance? It's extremely audible when playing music at low volume. Anyway back to my original question, does such issue exists on moto z play? I did some Google there seems to be people complaining about this but I want confirmation from you guys. Try listening to some music at low volume using IEM and tell me if there is any hissing noise please. Thanks in advance
Yes it does - more so if you enable the stock equalizer. It is quite obvious if you listen to audio book or speeches in low volume.
Nougat update does have minimized it. Listening to music in low volume is cleaner.
However - the sound signature thro' audio jack is excellent - deep n solid feel to it
No static on any of my IEMs at volume steps 0,1 and 2 playing through Apple Music and PowerAmp.

These are my work arounds:
1. Installed Poweramp app
2. I use Poweramp in-built equalizer
3. I don't use default equalizer while using headphones.
My headphones:
1. audio technica ath-m50x (headphones)
2. shure se 215 (in ear type)
3. jaybird X3 ( blue tooth)
If you root it (I have not rooted this moto) Arise viper4A is an excellent option.
Please note the sound signature and audio output via headphone jack is excellent. It can even drive audio technica ath-m50x, which has heavy drivers with ease. If you don't use the system equalizer, post nougat update the hiss is almost not there.
This phone is an excellent value for money. I am using it for more than 6 month. It has a heft to it but feels solid in-hand. Buttery smooth, insane battery and zero heating (except while charging). I am very happy!

I wanted to start a thread discussing the performance of the headphone jack. I'm a bit disappointed considering Sony's audiophile history with their walkmans and LDAC codec.
Yes, I'm nit picking about a $13XX dollar phone but for this price, I was expecting a bit more that just average performance.
For comparison I do have a LG V40 with it's quad dac and it powers my audio technicas perfectly fine with High-Impedance mode.
On the MK ii, I don't get the full sound with out an external dac coming into play.
I'd like to ask other MK ii owners if having just a headphone jack is enough to power your earbuds/iems/headphones.
Going to do a bit more in detail research within a couple of days but I think Sony just wanted to slap a headphone jack just to say it has one.
Ps- I'm no audiophile but having a full sound for the headphones I have is a must.
Thank you! This thread is very interesting.
I have reduced hearing and I badly need a smartphone with high-output. My LG V30 with it's QUAD-DAC has no problem giving me enough volume even on my favourite pair Hifiman HE-4xx.
I was hoping that Sony 1 mk2 was an alternative, but maybe not................ ?

You may want to make the distinction between headphone jacks that can and cannot drive high impedance headphones as a headphone jack that can't can still be good as in clear, little to no distortion with good response and sound reproduction.
In this case its more like LG's has gone out of their way to include a dac that can power high impedance headphones (which is rare in the first place, in addition to the jack being rare) so if high impedance headphones usage is a top priority, then sticking to LG would be recommended.
I have a Meizu Pro usb dac which has a good reputation. The volume of the Meizu is a bit higher, but the audio quality of the Sony is equal. You just have to increase the volume 2 or 3 notches. The Sony uses the Qualcom dac and excellent Cirrus amplifier chips. I use my Beoplay H6 over the ear headphones for listening. The volume being a bit lower is no problem for me, I still can get serious hearing damage if I want to.
The audio is detailed, excellent channel separation, noise is undetectable.

Yeah LG has done the headphone jack justice, but I was expecting a bit more out of the mark 2 for it's price point.
Like hi-res audio. I get it's mainly a photography oriented product. I mean I guess I got used to only using half of the volume steps provided by the LG phones.
I just had high expectations out of Sony in the audio department. Great camera. As for the dac mentioned above, i have a couple so I'm not too worried about getting any more of them. I have a couple of headphone I can try out besides my audio technicas.
The audio capability of the phone is lacking
Bluetooth volume is pretty poor even though it's decent quality
The 3.5mm Jack absolutely doesn't have that much power to drive much more than basic iem 8 to 16 ohm level. Can't push my 150ohm cans at all
Definitely louder than the previous phones. I'm just happy that the jack is back. I did notice a difference with bluetooth vs wired on WH1000XM4. Volume was definitely louder on bluetooth, but can really notice the difference in quality despite LDAC. But that's just me.

But it does have Hi-Res audio. Volume is a bit lower, but is also the curve of the volume control. With the LG the volume control is linear, with the Sony starts to increase real slow, until over half of the volume.

Yeah volume has to be over half way to start making decent sound. Regular buds are fine though. I have some kz iems and it's fine with those. Just higher impedance isn't for this phone.
My Beoplay H6 headphones have an impedance of 30 Ohms. They work great with the Sony. I can't compare, these are the only wired headphones I have.

I think using its headphone jack to push N3AP do not working perfect, the human voice is low, the sound ‘s analysis goes bad, compare to use usb-3.5 dac line. I use IE60.

Try to dm peter. I didn't have a chance to save this.
Sony Xperia 1 II most probably uses a Qualcomm audio codec. Can be their flagship Aqstic WCD9341, a dedicated audio chip. Only a proper tear-down will reveal the details. As I found out this audio chip contains a very good DAC section and can produce nearly 1 Vrms at headphone out when implemented in high performance mode.
