I am using my rooted XS with Marshall Minors and found the volume to be low unless I increase via EQ which then distorts the sound. Is there any hack to increase the volume like Alsamixer? or any app that will unleash the power of audio volume?
Thanks
you tried xLoud on settings? this phone is really loud for me..

I did, the main issue is I use audiobook player which is quiter and with max volume is still not great. I need to use this for my studies. The xloud has no effect on this. Previously with Galaxy Nexus I used alsamixer which was great in unlocking the volume but it doesn't work on XS.
i dont know but i used to use the audioboost it was work before with x10 but i find xperia s to work really loud i have half way income-call volume and it work perfectly fine for me !!!
seems to me that i got my ears too sensitive !
It may not be ideal but you could just batch reincode your audiobooks at 150% Volume(Gain).

Thanks mate. They are actually mp3 files do you recommend easy to use free app?
I tried few but they do not do straightforward volume gain.

Audacity will do it. You need to get LAME separate for MP3s(Legal thing). To do a single file open the mp3, slide the -...+ slider on the left of the track to the right, then export the MP3 to a new file. Done.
Not sure about batch processing with it, I've only ever done such things with images, but google is your friend on that one.

Why does almost every rom include this app? I dont see what is so great about it. To me it is just taking up RAM.
Am I missing something?
You can just remove it if you don't want it. To my knowledge, it is an equalizer for your phones speaker and earpiece. You can change it to how you want..but if you don't want it, just remove it. No need to get all feisty ;p

If used correctly you can dramatically improve sound quality with speaker headsets and bluetooth

Increases functionality and customization of your sound output on your phone's 4 different output methods (earpiece, speaker, BT, and headphone jack I believe as well)
Every time I opened it it would force close, so I removed it.

because there's a serious low volume issue on the 3D
we need everything possible to try to make the sound louder
I like the EQ, it comes in handy with apps like tune in and other apps where a little sound boost is needed.

If you already have an equalizer or other volume increasing app, it will conflict with dsp manager and vice versa. You can only have one. If you don't have anything conflicting with it like that and want to try it, maybe someone can help you get the apk to install manually. It really does make things sound great. Though I liked Equalizer from the market better.

is it possible to make the phones speaker louder??
i used to own a x10 mini pro and i found on the web 2 files to replace in the system/etc folder, the files name where: 1) AudioFilterPlatform 2)AudioFilterProduct
these files improved highly the volume without any distortion making the phone sound as loud as posible with perfect sound, google reicustics.....
or is there any other way to make the speaker and headphones a bit louder......

Try DSP Manager, it works for me for the music but not really good in enhancing in-call speaker volume ..
im very satisfied from the speaker of mini pro there is no way u need it any louder. this speakerphone sounds like its at its peak! any more louder and the quality will get worse
There is no chance to tweak for volume boost but yes i have tried "volume+" which helped me a little bit to get a little tweaking boost to get more clear sound
Try to get its cracked version as it don;t deserve to get paid
PM me if you don't find full version
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
Now that we have root for our Z3v's... I've been playing around with trying to find/edit the files that control our phones speaker volumes (both in call earpiece volume and speaker phone volume). I don't necessarily need to increase the speaker volume for playing music because most of the time I'm using bluetooth, but I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in that as well.
I'd like to be able to just modify the phones system files rather than use some sort of booster app.
From what I'm been able to find, the file located in /system/etc/ called mixer_paths.xml is what our device uses to control volume parameters. I've seen where other devices have had these types of files modified in order to boost max volumes.
Is this something we can do with our phones? The in call volume, both earpiece and speaker phone are just TOOOO quite for me.
This is about as far as I can comfortably go as I'm not a developer/programmer.
Anyone out there comfortable helping out with this idea? Is it possible.

I also would like to know how to increase the volumes
I think it's almost comical how low the audio levels out of the headphone jack are. I don't know if this can be fixed or what but even playing at full volume it seems too low.

I've been using the Sound Mod from Z3 Development version 3.3 with Dolby Digital Plus (I think it has beast audio) & the volume on the headphones is so loud at the second click up. They even have a way to go back to stock.

I did flash the sound mod through recovery but it only boosted speaker volumes, not in call volumes. I used the one without Dolby.

Wow so we can flash .zip files in recovery now? Again just making sure, just rooted and there isn't a ton of info out there for our device atm. Thanks in advance
I flashed it in the dual recovery as well. Just make a backup first because the zip they have to take it back to stock isn't for our phone. In other words if you ever want to go back you should wipe & reload the backup. And make sure you don't install the lollipop version.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. But one question. I'm subscribed to Google Play Music how can I increase the level from Google music app?
The songs downloaded are not recognised by 3rd party Music Players. Even Poweramp is not recognising it.
It is pretty clear that the device has the potential to deliver the best audio at an optimum level but people at Asus are giving a deaf ear to this. I guess a little bit of coding or just a software update can sort the problem. Or some hack might help.

When i will get time i will try to boost sound at kernel level.......
Or just use viper4android or something like that, the dolby atmos, or other sound mods are also available. They work systemwide. I haven't tested and don't know any will work or not. Report here if someone tries.
Poweramp Hi-Res Output will only work if Viper4FX is not installed. With Viper the audio is capped at 16 bit, uninstall it and experience 24 bit audio. It does make a huge difference for high quality music files (lossless .FLAC). Happy with my Shure SE 215 now.
Viper ,Dolby are capped only upto 16bit 48khz ..,..
Poweramp uses its own build DSP to trigger 24bit 384khz of sd636 built in DAC bypassing Nxp smart amp.....
Poweramp is dope......none can match its sound quality.....
I hope that Nxp smart amp support 24bit 384khz audio seraching a way to implement it
Works amazingly man. Now I can finally retire my Mi A1.
Works nice...but after enabling.... I can't control it's volume. Even with system media volume to zero....songs play at maximum sound.
