Anyone know of a hack or workaround for the piss poor volume on eb13? The alarm barely woke me up this morning.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
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.
/rant
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.

I've been having this issue with my epic for the past month or so. If something (other than a phone call) is playing audio (game, music) through the speaker or the earbuds I hear a crackling noise when I touch the screen and only when I touch the screen. It's very easily reproduced too. For example, I'll have pandora playing through the speaker and it'll play fine until I touch the screen to change the song or do something else. If I keep my finger on the screen it'll continue making the crackling noise until I lift it off. Doesn't happen if I touch the screen while it's off. The same thing has happened on every rom I tried including odin to stock eb13 and ec05. Since I've had the phone for less than a year, can I take it to a sprint store and get a replacement? Or does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

This may not make the most sense, but it sounds like you've got some exposed wires or something on the inside, my guess would be that the capacitive touch screen is causing some feed back when the field is broken and you touch it. May be a bad capacitor, or just some crossed/exposed wire, but we have had a similar issue with a wall touchpad in one of our class rooms. they control a Audio visual box and once it was damaged would produce a crackling over the speaker system when you would use the touch pad to change source or adjust volume and the AV box was turned on. The unit had to be replaced, I'd be willing to bet the same would go for the phone as replacement parts wouldn't be the easiest to come by.

Must be various on a per phone basis then, because I've flashed EVERY single ROM to date and I've never experienced that.

It doesn't sound like a software issue, therefor a rom won't fix the issue. If he goes back to stock, and the issue persists its hardware. Sounds like a loose wire, but I can't be sure...

We were trying to track down the cause, but never did, we still think it might be vodoo sound related when its built into the kernel...
But if it happens on stock, it could be something else, only happens to me on modded kernels.
If you can see this link please take a few moments to click and read, its for a good cause, you can make a difference, help spread the word today...
http://www.picketfenceblogs.com/vote/3616
I've never expiernced this either
Not sure what to say if it happens on stock. Proud to say i've never ran stock except for the 2 minutes before I flashed a custom ROM. And yeah I mentioned the ROM because it does have a custom kernel and even though we've all heard arguments that it's this or that i still have to say it's gotta be something in how voodoo is compiled into the kernel like ecooce says.
So I odin back to DI18 and let it update before I took it to the store and of course it's not happening anymore
I remember going back to stock after ACS 1.1 destroyed my phone a few times (my phone would freeze a lot and since there's no journaling in 1.1 everything would get corrupt) and I still had the issue. Playing air attack hd with the crackling was horrendous. Anyway, thanks for the support everyone. Sorry for the scare

Kernel bug. Likely not a hardware issue.
I have the same exact behavior with Genocide 1.0. I'm unaware if this occurs in other Voodoo sound enabled Kernels but it sounds like it does.
On stock EC05 the problem goes away. For me anyways.
It does for most. TWZ 1.4 doesnt have the problem and neither does Bonsai 4.1.1 kernel AFAIK. There might be other known good combos.

I have the same issue on certain kernels. I was just about to ask, too. VERY noticeable when I'm playing music in my car and need to do something onscreen, makes the audio sound terrible.
I had this issue on several roms, including acs and the previous bonsai. In fact, my experience with acs was identical to yours. My phone just didn't play well with it. I don't have this problem with stock plus rom, even with the genocide kernel. Give that one a shot.

Mine also crackles when the brightness adjusts. This includes when the screen fades out when I turn it off.
I hadn't noticed it when simply touching the screen though, just with the brightness. Also, I never noticed it until I started running custom roms with voodoo built in.

Download voodoo control and turn down headphone amplifier or turn down volume limit. Might do the trick.......
So I am sitting here trying to talk to family from my Epic to their landline. They can barely hear me. I have been getting reports lately more and more of people saying they cannot hear me.
So I grab my wifes stock epic and call them back. They state it is soooo much better that they can hear me now. I call back from mine and same exact low volume to them. I can hear them fine though.
I have Bonsai on my phone. I haven't tried flashing back to stock yet to see if that fixes it but I highly doubt it will. Is there any hidden setting to make my voice louder?
I am guessing I will go to the store and use my insurance to swap my phone.
Anyone else heard of this issue with the epic?
Odin back too stock and try it. If its better flash srf 1.1.1 with ee03 modem. Try that.
Or might just be a bug with your phone. Obviously if stock odin doesn't fix. Time too take it too sprint
I also had this problem with using sfr. I think that it had somthing to do with voodoo sound. Went back to stock with odin and reflashed sfr. I also changed some settings in the voodoo sound control app. Something that I did made it so that people can hear me without me yelling into the mic.

Ever since I moved to EE03, my mic has gone to crap when using the speaker. Same issue as in OP, very low volume and folks on the other end complain they can barely here me. Doesn't occur when I toggle the speaker off.
Clear Voodoo Control's data and don't mess with any settings except the ones in the first section. I had the same problem and doing this fixed it. Report back.
I'm pretty sure that its when you change the default setting in the Recording Presets menu but I'm not really sure. I don't really have any use for using my phone as a recorder so I just leave them alone anyways.
DUDE! check the mic hole and clean it
no lie it worked on mine
Change the Recording Preset in Voodoo Sound to Original. That should get you the same "volume" that others hear you at when using your wife's stock Epic.

Never thought about the mic hole. Will try that first..something so simple. I remember when I got my TP2 I forgot the sticker over the mic hole.

ee03
Hey guys personally i think its a bug with ee03. Ive tried the swiss cheese, ive tried marcusants both v5 and v6 and midnightroms ee03 rom. I started a thread in q&a with almost 100 people who saw it and 1 who commented. It has nothing to do with cleaning the mic or buying a new headset.(although bluetooth solved the problem for me, but i prefer my wired headset...)I was using the stock wired samsung headset that came with the phone. All my phone calls had a low mic volume. I odined back to ec05 and my mic volume went back to normal. The only time ive noticed the problem was when i was using ee03. If some devs could look into it, im sure alot of us would be grateful. I now know im not alone with that problem. Also ee03 doesnt come with voodoo sound. So there is nothing to adjust, as there is no voodoo sound...However as much as i miss the smooth transitions and battery life of ee03. i had to go back to ec05 and for those of you who odined back down, well you know what i mean when i say i miss ee03. But the biggest problem is one that cant be overlooked.....MIC VOLUME....

Has anyone lost like 60% of sound reproduction volume with the upgrade to 3.1? I'm about to do a wipe and reinstall if it's just me, but basically I can't hear **** now.
I used to be able to hear the tablet clearly from another room, not loudly but i could make out what song was playing. Now I can barely hear the tablet when it's in my hands. Is it 3.1 or did primordial do something. Is there a sound mod app? I have looked and my volume settings all APPEAR to be maxed out.

No change for me. Internal speakers are still plenty loud. Headphone is too quiet, but that was the case with earlier firmware too, but that can to some extent be solved with a free app called Volume+. (It's a pay app in the market, but free if you go to the author's own site, and enable installing apps from outside the market.)
What's hopeless for me is the microphone. It barely picks up anything more than 2-3 inches away from the mic port. To Skype, I actually have to hold the tablet sideways so my mouth is right next to the mic, which seems ludicrous to me. Been meaning to start a thread and ask if others have the same issue.
I just tried to play some mp4s that I have, I noticed that the volume is lower too.
It was anemic before and possibly slightly more now. The overall volume (or lack of it) is the only thing I really find disappointing about the TF. Was playing a vid for a doc at a meeting the other day, and three of us huddle around it had a hard time hearing it cranked all the way up. The slightest noise of anyone else doing anything in the room just killed it.
Yeh I've had a major drop in left speaker and bad drop in volume on headphones ...... And mine was the official 3.1 update too...... Very dissatisfied

Bumping this. I'm hoping someone has an idea. It feels like its getting worse. Basically I used to be able to place the tablet on a rack in front of the ****ter and enjoy a show while I pooped, but now I simply can't hear it at all, even with no white noise or anything that could be an issue. So with what you guys have said, I know I'm not crazy.
SOMEONE PLEASE FIGURE THIS OUT. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW.
some peeps already figured out it's a messed up sound config file and you can fix it if you are rooted, was readig through a thread on it here I bleieve lst night. I'm sure it'll be fixed with a software update.

I'm delivering pizzas right now. Do you have a link
I had this too before I sent it in for RMA service.
In fact, I knew about this issue before I even upgraded to 3.1 so I was aware and decided to see if these people were making this up or not. After upgrading I did notice a significant decrease in volume. This was disappointing, it almost made me feel like I was using the Nook Color again.
You're not imagining this. Before the sound was so loud that you could hear it from another room and the unit actually vibrates a bit. Now it's so low it's hard to hear the low tones in anything.
My guess is they messed with it to try to fix the imbalanced speaker issue but ended up messing it up for other people now. ETA for fix is fifteen years. See you then!
Noticed lower volume too after update. take the srs_proceeding.cfg file from my 3.0.1 and paste it to the 3.1 rom and it was louder.

Modded default file a little to my liking volume wise, this is very much a work in progress, if your Transformer burns up a speaker or the sound card, don't hold me responsible, BUT on a good note it works for me and volume is very decently increased, so if your feeling lucky (punk) give it a try. You just might be pleased with the results. Good luck and happy modding! =]
Also as a side note, I have heard stories of blown left speakers, so be extra careful with the one with the speaker fix, as this is unexplored territory except from one user who did have good result's, so only use if you are aware that it may damage your HARDWARE for good...
Confirmed working on voodoo sound, but I would suggest using the medium one, no higher.
KEEP IN MIND THIS ALSO INCREASES HEADPHONE OUTPUT, BE CAREFUL SO AS TO NOT DAMAGE YOUR HEARING!!

You must reboot for the changes to apply.
If you take it for a spin, please post your opinions on sound quality and volume so others can get a good idea of what this file does
All credit to xda members freeza and verkion for the balance fix file, I simply edited his file.
Edit: you will find the stock file in system/data
Edit: Be sure to backup your original file, and if you don't know how to replace the file, you shouldn't be playing with this lol
Edit: If you hear distortion, lower the volume, as distortion will blow speakers faster than overpowering them
Also as a side note I run the full output one with good results, full volume is now usually to loud lol, does sound *SLIGHTLY* tinny, but once you get used to it, the increase in volume is worth the trade off, and if you miss the stock volume, either turn it down or re-apply your stock file.

I advise people to be very careful with volume on transformer. I blew my left speaker using configs etc and just received my transformer back from warranty repair (thankfully fixed
I really dont advise using configs like this but there is a need to make volume higher.
I have tried everything and found the safest way which is what i use now is a small app from the market called 'VOLUME+' , link below.
I set my speakers to a +5 boost in options, nothing else and volume is much higher, crisp and safe.

Link fixed, I apologize, also this will work for headphones as long as you don't run voodoo sound, if you do I'm not to sure, but without voodoo sound it also boost's headphone volume as well, and quite a bit on that note while still retaining clarity.

Ok, I also edited the original post so everyone knows to reboot, sorry I didn't clarify that, let us know how it goes with whatever file you choose.
As others have reported, the 10j update for the H918 lowers the volume for the bottom speaker. Has anyone looked into what they changed for this to occur or does anyone have a fix? Because my alarm is just barely loud enough to wake me up now and listening to music on the speaker sucks now.
I just went back to 10i for now

can you send me your /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml? i'm guessing something changed in this file for the speaker so would like to check between 10i and 10j

Man, it's so weird how this update is affecting everyone differently. A lot say lower volume, some say louder, and some say no change. I wonder what's going on?

I know right? First 3 comments I came across said louder and since then most have said lower. It may not be louder but it is definitely clearer which was more important. But I'm positive I gotta slight volume boost too as I've been able to use external speaker more often without having to cup or bring to my ears. Even my coworker can clearly hear YouTube videos when we're having to grind at work.

What rom?
There's something wrong with the audio software on the V20.
Usually if the volume is lower than usual on mine, I will do one of the two things and it usually fixes it self.
1) power off completely and leave the phone off for 10 mins or so. Than power back up.
2) or do a battery pull and power back up about 5 mins later.
Usually one of the two corrects the issue for a while.

Unfortunately this did not fix the issue for me
Mine got louder with the i update, now with j I think it may have gone back down to the original level that it was with h, but it's now clearer. It is still plenty loud to me.
