Turn on vibration with audio as well? Certain AOSP roms (at least cm7) allow you to boost up the decibel output, but it tends to sound distorted.

Be very careful doing this, these speakers aren't meant to be super loud. The speaker may blow itself out.
volume+ app if u using gingerbread
CM7 has options to increase decibel levels of ringer, notification and alarm.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I've had the same issue with the current CM7 rom I am using with netflix and VPlayer... On the other hand the ringtones seem to be super loud..

[Q] [JB] Low Media volume with Headsets ? Pls help

Excuse me for being a noob....
But i just wanted to clarify an issue ive seen in JB roms.
One the volume for headset is not that high...
Second the media volume does not increase incrementally ... even in the volume rocker as it is displayed... i think it stays at max 60%
Is this an issue with all JB roms???
i tried searching the forums but did not get an answer. and why is it that ICS roms sound better with Headphones than JB roms?
Pls Help

if u use 'Siyah or Dorimanx' kernel's then U can boost ur head phone volume thro 'Xtweak' app
When I played music with Poweramp (I have DVC enabled), the problem fixed temporarily.
It's known issue in CM10, nothing to worry about.
If the volume rocker is like this:
|-------O____|
and above, then it's 100%.
I can't vouch for JB but I am on ICS with CM9 and found that headphone volume was poor, I downloaded an app called 'Voodoo LOUDER' which allows you to increase the volume slightly, you need to be rooted but it was worth every penny

Boosting Volume with Root???

Dear,
is there a way that i can boost the volume ( while Ringing , Notifications , playing videos & music ) ?
sound is clear but very low !! most of the phones even the one that has one speaker only have better sound in Terms of loudness .
hopefully Sony can push an update and get this fixed ( i said to get fixed because its a bug not an option )

Again, the speakers won't be very loud because of the waterproofing. Besides, there's a way to boost your audio by a little bit. Check out viper4android or the sound boost by olokos.

Try Viper4Android. It helped me boost the speaker a lot and it also improves quality. Try not using compatibility mode (it doesn't really work).

Thanks a lot , what about non-rooted devices?

Defective speaker

Hi guys, today I just bought a used Sony Z2, and unfortunately the bottom speaker makes some cracking and popping noises when the music is loud.
Can I change something like a balance in the phone settings so when I listen something (YouTube, music, ringtone) on the speakers the bottom speaker recives lower decibels, so I won't hear those cracking noises, while the upper speaker works at full potential?
Help would be much appreciated.
PS: for headphones I would like the balance to remain untouched.
THANKS.

I'm flashing it as we speak.
LE: nope, still that cracking noise. If i let the volume around 60% everything is fine, if I rise it higher, that sound comes from the bottom speaker. I need to find a way to reduce just the bottom speaker volume, while using the full capacity of the top one.

If you could just tell me which values should be moddified in mixer_paths.xml for volume I would do it myself, especially because I don't know how much I should decrease the bottoms speaker volume to sound good.

Its need to change in these four files.
go to system / etc / tfa98xx
and find these four files
1- HiFiSpeakerRing_btm.eq
2- HiFiSpeakerRing_btm.preset
3- HiFiSpeakerRing_top.eq
4- HiFiSpeakerRing_top.preset
And you also need to change so much values in mixer_paths.xml can't tell right now i did not test them.
Or

what can I use to open and edit the .eq and .preset files?
@zohaib0001
hei, I tried to play with various values from the mixer_pathx.xml, but nothing seems to work.
I changed my mind and I thought that if its possible to rise up the volume, it should be possible to lower it down right?
so, could you point me which lines from mixer_paths.xml determine the volume for the external speakers in all situations (ringtone, playback, speakerphone) so I could lower thrm down, so I won't have any problem at high volume.
Thank you!
