Hi guys
When i had my iphone i use to listen to alot of music on the go. For example on train trips or bus rides to work. Now that i have my awesome galaxy i have figured that the sound quality even though i do think is better is not as loud as it should be. I am currently on BatistaRom 3.7.7 and im loving it. Sound is awesome but still not as loud and clear as it should be.
Does anyone know if there is any other roms out there that boost the volume even more when you use the music player or any mods? Or do you guys recommend any music players from the market that helps in boosting the volume?
I have tried poweramp but again that does not do it for me..
Any help would be gladly appreciated
I`m on Rev2.6 with AudioBoost, app from market. Very good sound. You can try. Hope this help.
Or try Voodoo Control + (it's paid), heard you don't need a Voodoo-based kernel to use it's goodies.
thanks guys i will give it a go and let you know how it goes..

Hi guys,
With new rooms comming around for our x10i, I ask to someone if knows a way to increase earphone and louderspeaker.
I know that is a problem with this equipment but, with new software coming around, certainly there is a way to change settings for that.
In my work I can't use headphone, so this solution is not good for me.
Can anyone help me, or is a problem that no has solution.
Is there any dev that could make a apk to make this possible?
Does I have to buy a new smartphone?
Regards

Any ROM's based on CyanogenMod should have DSP Manager included. You could use that to increase the volume.
Edit:
You could also try looking for Louder Volume Hack in the android market. It's a paid app and I'm not sure if it'll even work with our phone.
DSP Manager do not really increase volume, just have Equalizer and Bass boost
Also louder volume hack will not make much difference as we do not have a custom kernel. However, DSP Manager does make a little bit of difference with the equalizer set right
Sent from my CM 6.1.3 v053 Froyo X10i
I use DSPManager to boost my speaker volume by sliding all the equalizer bars all the way up, and it gives a noticable boost in speaker volume.
My question is, is it safe? Will it blow out the speaker because of the increased volumes?
One of the biggest shortcomings of the X10 is the not so loud speaker, this fixes it, but not sure if it's safe.
Thanks for any help.
can't find it on the market, could you post the link here or pm me to it so i could try it out?
The DSP Manager is a fair safe software. Wolf even included it in some flavors of his amazing ROM and nobody complains about losing the speaker (none that I know of).
I use the DSP Manager whenever I want with no trouble at all.
On the other hand I do think you're right about avoiding excesses. The wisdom teach us to keep the balance and don't misuse equalizers and LED flashes.
In my opinion, the best way to listening music in the X10 is still the earphone.

Watch out it can bite in your hand.

Thanks, but I was thinking more along the lines of the increased volume will be used for the ringer, when the phone rings, because it's really soft right now and I can't hear it from the other side of my house. DSPManager fixes that. I do use headphones for my music. I'm just worried that too much ringing might damage the speaker because of the increased volume that comes thanks to DSPManager.
Hey All,
Ive just gotten a galaxy 2 and find the music audio far to quiet, ive been using an ipod touch for about a year now and to me that sounds twice as loud as the galaxy. its far to quiet especially when im on the bus and stuff and can still hear the bus whilst listening to music.
Any ov you awesome peeps know how to make it louder ? obviously my phone is turned up to max
Cheers
update to 2.3.5 xxki4 and use poweramp latest beta
Voodoo sound doesn't work for the SGS2?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
What will updating it do? Ive got it rooted, will it wipe my root? If theres a link about how to update a rooted then plesse post so i can understand.
Ive already got the power amp beta but its no louder than what im currently Using. :-(
Thanx for the replies there appreciated
The sound is SUPPOSEDLY louder in 2.3.5 (I personally couldn't notice a difference but I never had a problem with the sound anyways). If you have the poweramp beta why not just turn up the preamp in the eq settings?
I used to use SGS2 Audioboost until it kept my phone locked at 1.2ghz whenever I played music, now I just use poweramp. It supports different eq settings for different songs or whole albums. Really useful for albums that have been recorded with a low audio output
Hey People.
How can i increase the volume of the speaker? Safely and without distortion, by Editing and not with apps running on the phone all the time.
It's like these, i'm using Gingersony v06 ( yes i got back to Gingersony after 3 days of being on the Original Stock Eclair, that Blue color on all the Stock Eclair is very annoying :S ), and people tell me that they can't hear me clearly when we are in a Call, and i don't hear people as well ( at least not loud enough ).
So that's why i wanted to increase the volume in order to hear loud and for the others to hear me loud 2.
Good answers will always get a Thanks press button
Ps: just an add, if someone knows how to get better audio quality as well ( because when hearing music, i can hardly hear clear the vocals ) then please tell me

I don't see the download anywhere in that thread, and it says it's for Mini, mine is Mini Pro, will it work?
But by the name 'Beats', i guess that must be the Xloud+Beats thing.
I used that thing some time ago but in that time i didn't see any change in the sound at all, but maybe i had a wrong version of it, because some players didn't work with that installed.
You know where i can get the fully working version?
Ps: that beats mod, did it change your sound quality at the point that you can hear the vocals clearly when playing music?, because it's a bit annoying to hear great/loud Instruments and then the voice looks like it's far away from the song :S xD

Try DSP-Manager with eq 'vocal boost' preset enabled, or play around with the viper4android APP (the best sound quality/loudness enhancer APP in my opinion ).

Dsp Manager i personally don't like it because for me it's the same thing as an Normal equalizer, i tried all presets and effects but there's always something wrong, if using effects for more vocals then the sound will loose Power 'instruments will sound with much less power, not very good to hear' to obtain that, about the viper4android i don't know if it's good 'i only used it once in your rom but with a bug of stoping/starting music so i quit' but maybe i'll make another try, sincerely i don't think there's a solution for the vocal problem on the songs without changing the sound itself or having Less Power
Hi, I bought this device to replace a recently deceased Zune HD 64, but I'm finding the audio output really, really poor. It's so quiet.
At the moment I'm running the stock ROM 2.2.2, but I'm looking to improve this as using PowerAmp and it's Replay Gain setting just makes everything sound awful. The best solution I've found is to turn off EQ/Tone/Limit in Poweramp and disable Replay Gain
Is there some way to improve this? Installing a certain ROM for example? Is Direct Volume Control available on other ROMs and does it make any difference at all?
Not sure whether to install another ROM/Root the device as I'm looking for suitable performance & battery life.
Thanks for any replies/help received.

Other than that, disable "Direct Volume Control" in Poweramp. As a result, the maximum volume will stay the same, but the output of the voulme bar will be remarkably more gradual before the maximum is reached. Also, turning the EQ off might help if you want to listen to your music on a "flat" setting, though my advice is to switch to "loud": if distorsion occurs, lower the preamp bar.
I own another Samsung device, but if you browse through the forum I'm sure you can find custom roms containing audio tweaks.

Really? That's odd. When I was just using PowerAmp alone on my 4.0 it made everything sound great (I turned off limit), and yes DVC does make quite the difference. However, my solution is to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223 Viper4Android. You can easily increase the audio output without losing sound quality. However, you need to update your Android OS to at least version 2.3. If you have the Galaxy Player 4.0. You can root it, install a custom kernel and install Voodoo Sound https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.controlapp&hl=en which also can increase the audio output on the player.
