Why do you need the volume so high? On my IEMs, half the max volume is as high as I'll go for regular listening. Max seems like you'd blow out your ears. If you really want to have higher volume without ruining the sound, your best option would be a portable amp.

What kind of earbuds? Some earbuds have a very high impedance and should be driven with an amplifier. I have a pair of Etymotic ER4S earbuds that need an amplifier to drive them.

DSP manager can increase the listening experience dramatically. Just rip it out of the cm7 beta or the blue chronic homebase update.

You can get a decent headphone amp for less than $20. E.g. this one in the UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/FiiO-E5-Headphone-Amplifier-Black/dp/B0026RJQJ6/ref=pd_rhf_shvl1
If you listen to a lot of music and use nice earphones/headphones it's definitely worth getting one of these. Just make sure you get a rechargable one cos the batteries don't last long...

i seriously think there may be something wrong with your phone or maybe your earbuds...
of all the phones ive tried the atrix has all-around the best sound and volume... its one of the reasons i ditched the SGS2 for it. really no need to go and buy an amp. try getting better earplugs or see if theres really something wrong with your phone.

Caller cant hear me solution (Voodoo)

called myself through my house phone and played with voodoo settings till i heard a difference. well, this worked for me:
in voodoo, scroll down till you see "Digital/Analog Conversion Quality Settings"
uncheck "Hi-fi record" (ADC 128x oversampling Maximize recordings quality)
rom being used: cynogenMod beta1
Voodoo Sound Plus 3.1.1

Upgrade to beta 2

The only setting that causes mic issues is the mic one the options are normal, balanced and loud something to that effect change it to loud and callers will hear you. The hifi record does not play a factor.

Holy double thread Batman!

shucks
the environments change the input volume and i think the hi-fi record turns on a gate. cause turning off hi-fi made a big difference to me cause people dont have hard time hearing me anymore and i dont have to touch anything. and i've always thought recording has to do with mic inputs. oh well....

I don't think so, I'm still on beta 1, but the voodoo toggle was the fix for me to get the mic to work properly, so I know they didn't fix it on Beta 1.

Well rc1 update one has been out for a litttle bit the change log says they boosted the mic

Beta 2 did not fix this issue in regards to what he's talking about, and without testing it yourself you shouldn't tell him he's wrong. I'm always told people can not hear me and I just did the same test with my home phone. With HiFi record enabled I could not be heard unless I put my mouth directly over the mic and talked very loud. With HiFi record disabled I could then be heard from a normal distance at which with it enabled I could not be heard at all from the same distance as if I were not even speaking.
Thank you for this. I'll test more later when my girl calls me and see if she can actually hear me ok or not with this disabled.

Beta 2 fixes this with the default kernel and no voodoo... most things I say are fixed are with the stock kernel...

Some of us use voodoo sound with the stock kernel through voodoo sound plus. That's where it gets confusing. I'm not saying the issue is cm9. It's definitely this setting and/or voodoo sound in general. I'm just saying this is good to know for any of us that use stock cm9 but also inject the voodoo driver via the app.

This totally works i tried it on 3 different cell phones my moms epic touch my dads zte fury and my younger brothers transform ultra i think the way it makes things higher quality is it filters out more interference ergo wind static etc etc but in doing so the volume it can record at is severly lowered.

Note voice leak

Hi
Anyone has voice leakage problem during phone calls? Voice from the other side can be heard clearly by people around me...

SO..it seems it's a problem with the Note and there's no way to really fix it (I don't mean ways to circumvent it)? Is it due to the long size of the speaker on top?

It sounds like it's due to the Note having a good volume band. If it's bugging you, turn it down. That's not really a work around is it? More of a choice, and which is a good thing I thought?

I really had to check it was not still April 1. I do not see a 'loud' speaker as a problem, as you can simply turn it down. I do not find my note to be too loud. If yoh are using a custom rom tben it might be the rom that is amplifying the sound.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

The speaker is not long at all. The grill is, but that makes little difference.
The real problem is that the phone is so damned thin! The ear-speaker happily blasts out of the back too.
What is irritating is that you still get the issue where if the grill is not well positioned against your ear you cannot hear well, even though everyone around you can

Turn!
It!
Down!
'nuff said.

No.. there is NO problem with the Note..
if people around you can hear it then would you not say that is a real obvious clue that you have the volume too loud..? turn it down...or.. get you one of these http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/7830/
problem solved.

If you are rooted poke around under system media for the right file and rename it.

Also curious if anyone finds a solution for this.. Its super annonying when riding my motorcycle. With my helmet on if I lower the vol then try to go back up to max it doesnt because I have my phone buried away in my jacket and inaccessible.

Having the same problem. Trying to work listening to music but keep having to take my phone out of my pocket to change the volume back. Getting really old really quick! I listen to a lot of music and this just isn't acceptable. If it wasn't for the crappy camera of the HTC One I would already be considering taking this phone back. I don't want to have to root and fiddle with my phone anymore, I want a phone I can just use without having to tinker with it.

I too had this problem, but it's gone now... not really sure what I did.. I definitely didn't mess around with any system files.. now I'm really curious how I did it.. I'll see what settings I changed and report back!

Charge your phone?
But seriously, just use root explorer to delete boot.ogg in system/media/ui/audio
Obviously you have to root to do this.

Check the Development section. I think there is a mod in there to disable it.

The only way round this is to keep the level above the warning and dont go below. If you need to go below use your headphones volume control (if it has one)
What is this warning all about? why has it been introduced? is it only on the s4? it's health and safety madness, i'm sure people have the sense to listen to music at a level they want, if its too loud for their ears thats down to them, its our ear 'oles

I got the message once, I think I just hit a check box to not appear again. Now when I do it a little warning pops up that says it could be dangerous and goes away but doesn't stop me from increase the sound to max

It's weird, the first week I had the phone I had to click an 'OK' button every time I wanted to go over about 80% volume. Now I just get a toast-style message but I don't need to click through any confirmation window. I don't remember clicking or even having an option for a 'don't ask me again' box. Maybe once you've dismissed the window enough times it just never comes back?

That's to remove the boot sound, I don't think he read the title or op...

If I have my phone in my pocket and I turn the volume up when the screen is off I still get a pop up that will not allow me to go past until I hit OK. Annoying when I am on my bike and I have to stop and take out the phone. I am also using different head phones so I have to use the volume rocker from my pocket.

When screen is on you get a warning but doesnt effect sound. When screen is off and you use the rocker to adjust it will stop the increase, light up the screen and force you to click ok to proceed with vol increase

Same for me, when the screen is on I just get the small message at bottom but it allows me to go past it. Whats annoying is that all head phones are different, and half the time I am just using the phone as an aux plug-in for my truck.

[Q] Adapt Sound?

Has anyone used this?
I started it up the other night, plugged in my headphones and went through the steps.
Next thing I know, my stock Music app won't produce any sound through any sort of output. I can still get sound from Pandora and other things.
I finally realized that I had to turn off Adapt Sound.
I'll be honest, I'm not even sure what it is or what it does.

Not everyone hears the same as everyone else one ear could hear differently than the ear on the opposite side of said persons head and "adapt sound" is the attempt to solve this issue. I however flashed a kernel with beats support then the beats mod and I take care of the settings that way for awesome sound.

That is exactly what im looking for. Thought i could "tweak" the system sound by running the adapt sound and lying to it telling the phone that i didnt hear the super high beeps, with the hopes it would turn those frequencies up. But that did not go as planned, Which kernel did you flash? In the meantime I'm reading through all the dif kernels.

Check out the ViPER4Android sound mod, simple installation and nothing to do through recovery. It has options to increased max volume level for headphones, speaker, and bluetooth. And not only that, there are dozens and dozens of other options to tweak the sound of your device. Plus in the thread there are a bunch of prepare sound profiles that tell you what to set all the settings to for various listening purposes!
