Maybe its just me but it seems that my D2's speaker isn't as loud as my D1's was but I was running roms and I know there was a hack to increase the volume. But I have yet to see that for this one yet, is that something that can be done or is it blocked by the bootloader for now?

Yeah I agree, It's a lot quieter than the D1. I keep my phone on my bed and when my alarm goes off it's no where near as loud my D1 when buried under pillows.
Might be best to take a look at the hack used for the Droid. What was it? If it was the Louder Volume hack from the market, I'm afraid that won't work on Android 2.0+.

Anyone know of a hack or workaround for the piss poor volume on eb13? The alarm barely woke me up this morning.

They lowered the volume intentionally. Some of the test phone's during beta were blowing speakers out. It has been known to happen on di18 also.

Wow really? The volume is extremely loud. They increased it a lot since DI18. It almost blows my speaker all the time.

They tweaked the internal EQ. Some frequencies are louder, some are lower. It depends on what your listening to. I had to swap out one of my Epics that was running a dk28 rom because it blew a speaker. One of the reps in our Sprint store has gone through 2 Epics because of the blown speaker but they were both refurbs and running di18 stock.

Ya, i would say mine is louder than it was before.

I feel like mine was overall quieter too. Or at least in most areas. If you go to the midnight rom thread, to pftmedic's website, and to the android developement page, youll find a CWM3 flashable zip called ViperRoms volume hack. It was for dk28, but its still compatible, because there wasnt really any code in it. Just numbers to set the volume. It worked for me.
Just the notification sound is quieter in EB13. It was also present in DK28. In DI18, it was about 15% louder than EB13 and DK28.

+1 on this.
Mine seemed quieter as well. The Viper Vloume Hack that pftmedic "edified" works great! Also, I have flashed quite a few of the other edify zips from his website and they (all the ones I have flashed so far) all work great with EB13!
So let me see if I can sum this up and let me know if you think I am right or wrong.
Samsung decided in its infinite wisdom to use substandard speakers in some of the build runs either to save money or because they couldn't obtain speakers from their original source. Due to this manufacturing decision they had to turn what was a pretty decent sounding phone (my phone) in to a POS with the latest software update in an effort to protect themselves from excessive warranty claims.

Overall volume is fine for me, I just wish that we could increase the notification volume sound!
Thanks for the input guys, ill try the hack you guys are talking about. Mine and my wifes alarms are about half as loud as they were before the update. Ringtones are still loud as hell though. I'm just glad I sleep light or I would have been a couple hours late this morning lol. Thanks again guys.

I have issues with the volume in EB13 for the external speaker, it seems much quieter.
The VIPERmods_GalaxySVolHack_v3.zip referenced earlier (ptfmedic's lostandtired<dot>com/android-development site for the midNIGHT ROM) in this post is replacing the EB13 files with ones packaged in the zip as shown below.

Is there any Android hack to up the volume of the speaker? I have a hard time hearing it in my car or around anyone.

I was wondering the same thing. I can hardly hear anyone. While we're at it, it'd be nice to boost the headphone jack volume as well.
You can use mixzing player or poweramp to make the volume louder playing music, now for calls I don't know.

Use DSPManager.
Anyone know of any presets available for DSPManager? Will it work with winamp or the stock player?

This increases the speakerphone volume for calls? I tried it and it seemed to do nothing unless I did something wrong.
I don't think it effects speakerphone, just music played. Poweramp has a nice EQ with a few presets and you can always make it "louder" by cranking the preamp. Doubtful that your speaker sitch can handle the preamp as it distorts clarity, but it can make music louder. PreAmp is a ****ty player for day to day though cuz navigating to artists involves several touches. I guess I can just write down the levels of my custom preset in PowerAmp and apply those to DSPS

Yeah, the low speaker volume bugs me, but apparently they can here me just clearly, can talk less than average volume (why couldn't it be like that for the receiving end too? :/)
Wish there was a fix OP, we'll just have to wait.
Yea I have to say I miss my TP2 and all those cab files lol thanks for the responses.
Dsp did nothing for me either. Guess its waiting time. Would anyone know where the volume is controled? Is it an android or kernel variable?

Anyone find out anything new about this? DSPManager does help some. But it would really be nice to be able to turn up the speaker volume louder.
Yeah speaker is way too low

Dont use any app... if your on sence you can just turn on hearing aid mode. gives you all kinds of range. Now if your on aosp ( cm7 ) use dsp manager or something.
Never thought of that, it seems to make a little difference, not a ton but a little. Now if someone can find a way to remove the icon
Anyone else think the volume of the external speaker is too low. I litterally struggle to have a speakphone conversation and watching media is disappointing.
Could it just be my phone hardware and needs to be exchanged for a new unit?

I have the same problem. The speaker volume is quite low, especially compared to the headphone volume.
Yes, very low. That has been a little disappointment to me.
Same for me. Do the last update solve this problem?

Solution!
Hey!
Cut a long story short, I Bought my neuxs s and was very disappointed with the volume level especially on the headset.
I looked round for 2 weeks for a solution, found one!
INSTALL A KERNEL WHICH SUPPORTS VOODOO SOUND CONTROL!
The sound volume is now VERY loud!
Here is a link to a hybrid kernel, half stock, half Cyanogenmod with Voodoo sound & colour control! its outta this world

Voodoo requires a custom kernel, but it doesn't increase the volume anyway.
But I think it's loud enough, and who watches a movie on their phone?

install volume (+) sound boost works like a charm really....
great improvement in sound after this,,..and no rooting required even..
I been searching non stop and asking questions everywhere without getting a step forward, and I know this isn't the right place and way to go about it, but it needed to be done. We need a flashable volume mod. Unfortunitly my rooted N7, is really my wife's N7. So I have to keep it relatively stock. I noticed volume increase app's dont work, and there hasn't been an xloud mod yet. Truth is we NEED a fix to make it louder. PLEASE help with a mod/fix! I can guarantee it'll bring much happiness to a lot of people, and a lot of praise to the dev who makes it happen. I have see a few roms that have volume mods. Problem is I can't run a themed out, badass Rom cause then my wife will realize I did mod hers and she'll flip.....and blame every little thing that goes wrong on me.
I use paid app volume+
The improvement in audio levels is very obvious
Some said this app doesn't work on jellybean but I beg to differ

You might have a defective unit. Someone else was complaining about their speaker volume being quiet even at max volume, but mine gets fairly loud. I don't know if you're looking for ear-splitting volume though.
I think peoples' opinions of the volume are relative. For example, in a quiet environment, mine seems loud. In a room with a lot of white noise (window AC, fan even), it seems to get drowned out.

Would volume+ help raise the volume with head phones/head phone jack? I don't care about the speaker volume, but I recently took a flight on a small plane sitting next to the engines and could barely hear my ear buds at max volume.
It's not defective. It could just use a little boost. My EVO 3d needed the same treatment, xloud mod plus volume+ app was the perfect combo. Basically like u called it, seems ok most of the time but gets drowned out easily. Volume+ has a headphone and Bluetooth boost....if the app really works on JB.
So, I've noticed that my in-call volume (which I've maxed) isn't very loud.
Also, the ringer/notifications aren't very loud either...
I moved into this N4 a couple days ago from an Atrix 2. Is it just that my A2 was a lot louder?
I'm using the Paranoid Android ROM. Is there a way to tweak both volumes in this ROM or somehow else?

Wow. Most helpful comment on the forums. Ever.
Can I please get someone else to chime in?
Maybe some other people that have a N4 that have good sound stock, or others that think its really quiet?

Personally, the speaker is fine. It's quite loud. Probably the speaker and notification ring is louder on the Atrix 2 and you were so used to it.
If you want it louder you're going to have to switch kernels.

Oh well, I guess I'll just live with it then. I will eventually get used to it I'm sure. I have to use speaker phone a lot because I can't hear people with the ear speaker.
Was thinking about a bluetooth ... but I tend to hate those...
