Anyway to increase Bluetooth audio output?

I use my Advantage quite a bit on my motorcycle, for listening to MP3s, GPS output, etc. And this is done via Bluetooth to my motorcycle helmet. However, when wearing earplugs the max audio output is a bit too low. Using a straight audio cable out of the Advantage is better, to where I actually need to turn the volume down some. But I'd prefer to use the BT output, but was wondering if there's any way to increase the audio volume that way?

You did not say what BT earpiece you are using, but I almost never have the audio all the way up on my Jabra BT8010. I believe almost all the problems using them have been solved (search "priority256_fix").
For wired headphones, try a Boostaroo.

I'm actually using it with a Chatterbox GMRS X1 Bluetooth unit, not regular headphones or a Bluetooth "headset".

Hi
Have you tried the following:
Bluetooth earpiece volume:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\Spk Volume
(DWORD:10)(Default:5)

No, I haven't tried this option - thanks for pointing it out! I'm curious if I'd lower or increase the Default value to increase Bluetooth volume - does a higher number equate to louder?

i would assume that louder-= higher volume
far too pissed to do it myself right now.
to be honest i think two years with an iriver h320 using the korean firmware has melted my ears....
btw if you dont have a reg editor you can download the resco super dooper trailware- think that the reg editor still works after the trial period expires 9r go for kilmist.
goodluck

Thanks alot ya man, but it didnt work ... nothing changed

this is somewhat on the other side of the coin regarding what i did to solve this same issue i had. i use bt as well when riding my bike. the bt unit i use is itech and the headphones can be changed. what i plug in noise cancelling headphones (senheiser) which thus keeps the sound really crisp and loud. to the point where i actually have to lower the volume to prevent my ear drums from exploding =) so this is not an application solution but more on a hardware point of view.
just my 2 cents

Any volume boost app for SYSTEM volume??

I am listening to streaming radio and transferring the sound to my bluetooth headset, but often even with headset, media player, and physical system volume turned up to maximum, it is barely audible.
Is there any app that works on the WM6 Touch/Vogue that will increase the overall system volume, rather than the call-talking volume, so that things like music and streaming radio can be made louder than the default maximum? Boost it higher than the built-in level?
Thanks...

I too have that problem. Anybody have any idea of where or how can you boost your speakerphone audio?

try using this.

Installed the cap on device, what exactly is this as I dont see any new program installed under programs.

That's because it's installed under the Settings tab. It's just a equalizer that can increase certain aspects of the sound

Does this increase the volume using a regular BT headset?
I have the Moto H700 and the volume is low when driving in my truck. I have the volume all the way up on the headset and I sometimes have problems hearing people.
It is fine as long as I'm in a quiet area, but the reason I bought the BT headset is to use it while driving since its safer than holding the phone to my ear.
I've already tried the audiopara.csv file and that increased the speaker but it didn't seem to affect BT.

I too have the same problem w/H700. I have searched high and low and have found there are many with this problem. It seems like it is a WM 6.1 issue.
Is there any possible way to increase the volume to the BT headset? This is a major inconvenience to many and I think it should be addressed by MS. Maybe one of the senior members here have some sort of tweak for this problem.
Thanks.

volume too high with 3.5mm headset

Hi all,
as I dont like the sound quality of the htc headset that came with the jade I bought an adapter mini-usb to 3.5mm to fit my in-hear sony headset.
Now I have a problem that at the minimum volume level the person on the other side of the line during a call is actually still quite loud and I can not find any way to set the lowest value lower!
While listening to music now is excellent, as with windows media player I can decrease the volume as much as I want, I can not do the same with phone calls!
I looked into registry tweaks but they didnt do the job.
Anybody had the same issue...?
Thanks for any help

Get some earphones with a built in volume control.

So. it's about the person at the receiving end hearing it loud, not you. What you can control is the volume of your earpiece, not the other end. You cannot control the speaker unit. So you have to speak more softly or put the mic a little bit further away.

[Q] BT very low volume

hello all,
I searched the forum but have not found any argument,
My bluetooth volume is very low, no way to increase it? I'm running 2.1
I'm the only one who has this problem?
Thanks, Danilo

iv also noticed this problem..

I have this problem as well. It makes using a headset that doesn't have an external volume control impossible.

I noticed the same thing on a nokia bt headset but thought it was cuz of that one headset. I have 3 more but never got around to trying them. Now that I know other people are having the issue is most likely cuz of the device. There are no options in the bluetooth settings so we got to find some other way to solve this

I'm just checking cos I couldn't see it mentioned, but you are adjusting the bluetooth in-call volume via the volume buttons first aren't you?
I do agree that even with it at max the BT in call volume is too low. It's odd as it's fine on A2DP streaming!
I wonder if it's a correction from the 1.6 ROM. That had horrendous BT call quality and sounded a little like the gain was set too high or something. Upgrading to 2.1 solved the problem BUT the volume has dropped significantly, to the point where i have to crank up the car's head unit much higher for phone calls than for other audio (fortunately it stores the setting!)

has anyone tried with the "secret code" menu?
*#*#307#*#*
reverse
*#*#308#*#*

Try the following, it works for me. I suspect it is a bug in Android
1. Disconnect the bluetooth headset.
2. Call to any number and change the in-call volume to highest using the volume button
3. Hang up
4. Connect the bluetooth headset again
5. Call to any number again and you will find that bluetooth in-call volume is much better now
I think that it is a bug that the bluetooth in-call volume is set proportional to the non-bluetooth in-call volume

I followed the steps exactly as you outlined, but there was no change in volume on the headset.

We definately need Dell or someone to fix this issue. I have a great headset -plantronics voyager pro- which used to work just fine on my N1 and I have not been able to use on the streak beacuase of the low volume.

Low volume in 5 high end bluetooth headset
Im also suffering to this problem, I tried my plantronics 975, Plantronics Backbeat, Jabra Stone and Blueant Z1 and V1 and still getting the same result. I also have the Galaxy S and HD2, all of my bluetooth headset works perfectly with no issues w/ my other devices. My Dell Streak is on a custom 2.2 rom.
I hope this will be fix on the official 2.2 upgrade.

Mine is exactly the same, whilst on the phone using BT headset if you use the volume keys it does show "BT in call volume" but max is too low! I have volume control on my Sony Ericsson MW-600 but it makes little difference :-( (music is perfect & loud though) I used them all the time on my se xperia x10i 1.6 with no problems.

Bluetooth Volume Low

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to boost bluetooth playback volume. I have beats wireless studio headphones and they are definitely not as loud as they were when using them with my g3 on CM12. I do remember them being this low on the stock lg rom but when I switched over to CM the sound drastically increased. I am looking for a no root solution if possible as I am stock for the time being. I can't even feel any bass from these things and that's what they are supposed to be for lol. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Interesting. CM12 killed my BT volume on my HAM2. I find BT audio to be just as loud as other devices I have. One thing I've noticed is that BT max volume seems louder if I make sure volume is maxed out before pairing, especially on devices that take over phone volume controls.
Unpair the headphones. Turn phone volume to maximum. Turn headphones volume to maximum. Then pair.

I'm interested as well the mixer_paths would be where we need to look but they look different than I've seen before. I've found a mod from 2014 I'll report back.

Has someone sorted out the bt volume? I also have a very low volume over the bluetooth music, as I'm using it in the car...

It also depends on the headphone I have different Bluetooth headphones and some are loud and some are not.

Well it's not headphone previous nexus 5x was fine, if there is a way to increase bt volume

Viper4arise solved the problem, however 7.1.2 also make the bt volume normal, problem fixed
Just is someone have the samr issue

The P9 is also a little less loud on BT than any other phone i had.
