[Q] Request: Low sound fix! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys/girls.
I am very happy with SGS2. But there is a small problem...
I am a audiophile/basshead, and I usually use my laptop for music. But like many other, I do listen music on my phone as well.
The problem is, is that the volume is a bit low. I have tried a few apps and amplifiers, but that just destroys the quality.
Does anyone know how to increase the volume without losing (much or very noticeable) audio quality?
I am using the unofficial builds from SlimBean (Android 4.3.1) and (soon) the Pound ROM as a secundairy ROM.
I also use DorimanX 9.43v22 (beta) kernel.
If anyone has a solution or a nice MOD to fix this, I would love to learn about it!
Thanks in advance guys/girls!
Kind regards,
Samuel de Wit

Use the kernel-side volume increases in Dorimanx/Siyah/etc (via STweaks). That's as good as the volume fixes get on the I9100.

ViPER4Android is an excellent sound mod......

Not only does it increase overall volume but also bass etc.......
You REALLY need to try it......

I tried to install that, but it didn't work :/ I should try it again, I see they support android 4.3.1 now. But thanks for the tip if someone knows something else, please let us now!

These things are intentionally limited so people don't damage their hearing so there isn't much that can be done beyond what you have tried. To go louder would involve an external amplifier.
You call yourself an Audiophile but I don't really think you are, you just like it loud. This phone is know to have fairly ordinary sound output, read a review about it.

Audio Mod for the Nexus!! [Kernel Edit Instructions]

(This was not found or created by me. All credits go to Qualcomm (CodeAurora) and Cyanogen.)
Thought i may as well post this as it has not been posted yet
This is essentially a kernel modification that tweaks the audio settings "for optimal loudness and achieve 5 steps of 3db each."
Hopefully cyanogen will incorporate this into his next kernel build, but if you want it now, you can build your own version of his kernel with these modifications - http://github.com/cyanogen/cm-kernel/commit/f044b1069c4d853e535fce2b800a0af4947a22f7#L0R46
Also, it should be noted that those values are the 'optimal' volume settings. You could make it a hell of a lot louder if you want, the values are pretty easy to understand!
You will need to build your own kernel though, which is kindly explained by cyanogen here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/How_to_build_a_kernel_port
Mind you, that's for a donut kernel, so it will need to be amended.
enjoy
edit: it seems Cyanogen's done the work for you! Here's a pre-made version - testing directory.
It may be worthwhile to note that Cyanogen has already built a kernel with this mod, it can be found in his testing directory.
Though, myself, I can't imagine why anyone wants it to be louder... I mean, with my headphones on, I can't physically stand the volume above around 80% (in fact my music profile defaults to 70% which is plenty for almost all my music - save a few live recordings that require the push to 80%).

Thanks for that, i'll add it to the OP.
I think most people have really only been complaining about the main loudspeaker volume, rather than the headset volume.
80% are you crazy i want audio hack to be alot louder i want my ears to ring and bleeeed!!!!!!

Gotcha, I might think the loudspeaker is a little weak as well, but I just increased the volume on my ringtones, and voila. Though, it is annoyingly soft for sharing Youtube videos with people... maybe this ain't such a bad idea..
Since I can just set my volume a little lower when I put my bigassed headphones on.

Yeah, I actually value my hearing.. And for the majority of my music 70% is more than enough, even though I work around loud machinery. I also have nice headphones though, and that makes a world of difference.

Agreed!!
Regardless, it's nice to have the option there. I just use this mod with my volume at 50% instead of 70% and if a certain album hasn't been normalized properly, I have that headroom.
Thank you so much for this hack. I've been posting in the other Audio Hack thread and it's great to see some progress for the Nexus One.
Seriously. Thank you!!

Voodoo Control (Sound) equivalent for SGS2?

Hey guys, I've just recently gotten my SGS2, and I'm loving it!
One thing that I've noticed, however, is the... I guess "power" of the sound card?
I don't know what to call it, but my SGS1 with the Voodoo Sound app was much more "powerful" than my SGS2.
I am gauging this by the volume that I have to set my car sound system at when I plug either phone in... (SGS1 was at a good volume at 25, but with the SGS2 I have to turn it up a little higher to get the same affect.
Is it just a matter of playing around with the EQ or is it the phone or is there an app?
Thanks in advance!

try playing with the equaliser and also are you using any custom roms? cause if you are try batistarom or a rom which has dspManager in...gives you that extra bass....
Also found that the 2.3.5 rom improves the sound both in quality and also a small amount of volume. I actually stopped using dsp manager for listening with my Klipse headphones since updating the rom, because the rom helped that much.
If not updating your rom maybe try dsp manager and turn off other equalizers so every program use only dsp managers equaliser.

There is Audioboost SGS2 in market. If you are rooted you can increase the overall volume.
Ahhh thank you very much for the replies, everyone.
I'm using DarkyRom2, KH3 at the moment.
Am I correct in saying KI3 = 2.3.5?
If so I've seen a few comments on the forums about a few little bugs with it, so I prefer to stick to KH3 for now.
Unless anyone can tell me that it is more stable and that KI3 is better?
If so, in what ways is it better or worse? (in your own opinions, of course)
And thanks for the suggestion warfanax, I'll check out the app!

Headset Volume

The headset volume is not loud enough. I can't really hear any bass because of how quiet it is. I've used multiple applications to try to fix this and I've used a few different pairs of headphones. There is not much of a difference no matter what i do. Volume+ was making it loud enough on a gingerbread rom but on ICS it doesn't work that well. Is there anything i can do to make the volume louder? besides just messing with the dsp settings (that doesn't do much)
Thanks for your help.
Does the kernel have anything to do with this? There is something software wise that effects this. I just don't know what it is.
nobody knows of anything i can do? come on guys haha

What rom are you on?
I'm on cleanrom 1.6.5 sp1 and I don't have a problem with volume. Around 70% it seems loud enough.
If you are using a different kernal than stock, I would try going back to stock and seeing if anything changes. Try to rule out the kernal and/or Rom.

Yeah it defiantly has to do with my rom (ineffablis ICS). When i was on 1.0 it was working fine. I've tried other sense ICS roms and had the same issue. I don't know if others with those roms are having the problem. There is so much going on in those threads you cant ask anything..
This is what the sound was like on the stock rom with stock kernel. Its not like so low that its not worth listening too but one of the reasons i like a custom rom is because the sound is so much louder. There must be something specific that effects this... i wonder if anybody knows what it is. What exactly do apps like volume+ do? what files are they changing?
I can't listen to music at full volume with the ear buds, it's just too loud, and I like loud. Was that way on stock ROM & kernel with stock music player and is that way now on the set up listed in my sig with stock music player.
Have you tried using q-tips?

Haha I actually bought an ear cleaning kit because i thought that might be the problem too! lol but im all clean and its still quiet! could this actually be a hardware problem?
So i even switched roms. Im on ICSRedefined now. No difference. I think this is a problem with ICS. and again its not like the volume is terrible but with volume+ sound boost on a gingerbreadrom its way louder. So i guess there just isnt anything i can do on ICS? Nobody knows of what files volume+ effects?

It's not the ROM. I'm on the same one and have been on different ICS ROMs before this. I generally play the music at about 65-75% before it starts getting too loud using Souls and VModa Crossfades.

Sorry, that wasn't very helpful. I mean it's not the ROM itself. I think it might be an issue with your phone and the ROM. I also had an issue with a ROM a while back where the speaker volume was weak. I couldn't hear people talking when I had it on speaker phone. So, I think it's just something to do with your phone and the ROM. Ok, so this doesn't really help either, but others don't seem to have the issue like no one had my issue.
It's probably your phone man, some Rezounds are louder than others. I was messing around w/ the stock display Rez in a store today. Compared to my speaker it sounds pretty quiet and quite tinny. I wonder if different build dates have different speakers in them. Mine is loud and deep and has no issues at all.
using cleanROM ICS 2.3.
But if you need volume+ or equalizer for it be "loud enough" for you, then I don't know.
I think the phone stock is plenty loud enough without any add ons.
I agree
I agree that the volume is not as loud as gb roms. Still sounds good just not as good as on gb.

Anyone else using Volume+?

I learned about this app from DL and the Gnex. I got my speakerphone volume up to 10+. No distortion at this level and sounds much better.
The weird thing is the speakerphone sounds really weird in-call and low volume as well. Someone mentioned this could be an issue with the rom I'm using though
Just wondering if anyone else is having any luck with this.
If you think it's volume+ related, uninstall volume+ and test it out. If you think it's ROM related...try another ROM...
dsp manager is better than volume+ but the only solution to higher speaker volumes will be when the devs incorporate volume tweaks into the kernels. more likely when aosp comes.
I have been using volume+ as well and the bluetooth performance is excellent for phone and media in my car. It's awesome how you can literally change the speaker profiles and instantly hear the levl adjusting on the fly.... I do have a question about the In call setting that ask for root access; I'm not really sure what those 'steps' represent?

Yeah I notice this too. The speaker phone volume was low to begin with but I installed an ICS rom the first day I got the phone so I really don't have much to compare the issues I'm experiencing.
All I can say is the volume of someone calling is about the same volume their voice comes out of my speaker when I turn speaker phone on which is ridiculous.
Than I go to play my music and the phone is loud as hell. I can even take this thing in the bathroom with me while I shower and hear the volume pretty good over the water so the fact that it's not working with calls seems odd...
Has anyone tried going over 10+ on speaker? It says "loudest for most phones" next to that number but than there are options to bring it all the way up to 20. I'm too nervous to go past 10. Don't want to blow my speaker out.
Where is dsp manager? I cant find it in the market. Is it an app from someone on xda? I found Volume+ but I didnt want to mess with that based on the responses here.

Way to Increase Max Volume?

I was just wondering if there is any way to forcibly increase the max volume limit on ICS? I've seen some apps in the market that claim to, but wanted to ask here first. I can't hear the phone ring if I'm in just a moderately loud environment, and my last phones (iPhone 4, Galaxy S and OG Droid) were all PLENTY loud.
Let me know, thanks!

I actually found one that works well. Its called volume+, and its $2 on the market or free on his forum. For the rezound, because it has beats, it needs a special audio-settings.conference file, which he also has posted on his forum with instructions to add it. I turned the audio settings all the way up and it makes a considerable difference, without too much distortion. Give it a try
Just a suggestion...i make my own ring tones from mp3s in audacity and just pump up the gain. Right now it's the guitar riff from Mr jack by system of a down and it makes people around me jump even in a busy loud store when it rings, hell I could hear it at the last football game I was at.

this looks promising but i do not have ICS just got my rezound today but this guy said he extracted DSP from a AOSP rezound ROM

probably just set "phone speaker" to have a higher output in the EQ..or just raise the EQ so they're all even, but like 5 steps up or so
With DSP Manager, the only thing that really makes it loud is headset virtual room. But of course its only available for headphone setting. Eq dont do squat in headphone setting...no effect... But EQ works ok on speaker. Just dont go all that loud even with the EQ enabled, but no volume boost for main speaker. Need louder volume on the Rezound....period regardless what ROM you using. Im on GB still

I purchased this app a year or so ago but don't bother installing it anymore. I immediately found it didn't play well with DSP manager, both start FCing constantly if they are installed together. I couldn't see that it made much of a noticeable difference anyway Other than for headset volume and that's plenty loud enough anyway.
Where did you find the beats fix?? I just searched that site for beats fix, Rezound mods etc etc and got no result at all???

I purchased this app a year or so ago but don't bother installing it anymore. I immediately found it didn't play well with DSP manager, both start FCing constantly if they are installed together. I couldn't see that it made much of a noticeable difference anyway Other than for headset volume and that's plenty loud enough anyway.
Where did you find the beats fix?? I just searched that site for beats fix, Rezound mods etc etc and got no result at all???

It's listed on the releases page I believe, and it's it's own separate thread, called [MOD] htc device fix or something along those lines. And you have to install that audio_settings.conf file he provides if you're on a Rezound for it to make a difference. I installed it and have the volume set to +15 and it makes it unbelievably better. Much, much louder, and I set the eq to Beats like and there's very little distortion at full volume, and notifications/ringtones are much, much louder.
here's the thread for volume+ fix for htc devices with beats:

Yeah it was easy to do. Just used root explorer and switched out the files. I got them off the developers site though.

when you first open volume+ it says to go to settings and enable volume+, but there is no option when I go to settings, under sound.
Does yours have that option?
