Headphone volume? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I saw a post about volume issues with the galaxy nexus on jellybean, and some people were talking about certain kernels that have volume boosts built in... in fact I'm running air kernel on my ns4g which has voodoo and allows me to increase the output. Is there anything like that for the nexus 7? The headphone output isn't as loud as I wish it was. And sorry of this has been answered and I jus didn't find it, searching is easier on the computer which I don't have access to at the moment...

Anyone?

I use the app "equalizer" and set it to rock. Louder and much better output.

I use volume + (volume booster) from meltus. I have 2 N7's and one isn't as loud as the other so this app makes it so much better...actually too loud sometimes.

Voodoo Bass Boost vs Volume Limit

Has anyone noticed that the more you increase bass, the lower volume limit is?
I mean, the volume limit you have setted doesn't change, but you can't reach it.
Is that normal?

Probably so you don't kill your earbuds?

Lmao! And No, my Nexus 7 speakers sound just fine.
I have a problem with min too, at max volume the sound is really bad (it sizzles).
Yeah mind sizzle too at max volume

My speakers sound terrible, too. I just got it off of Swappa. Slightly disappointed with the speaker quality. At a decent volume (where I can actually hear it), it sounds like awful.
Speakers Ok here!
i have the same problem here. first it was anything over 50% volume and now its gotten worst so im sending it off to get repaired
The speaker is one of N7 weaker points. It will crack from time to time.

Volume low on headphones.

Also on the speaker. I tried diff apps but to no avail. Is there a config file that can be added or edited to boost volume? I really think the volume is set lower than it should be. Anyone?

I tried every app there is as I said in the post. It don't work for me. The apps really do nothing.

I use sound booster but you have to keep fiddling to get a percentage that works.
Keep an eye on the X louder mod and hope he brings out a 4.2 version soon
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Cool but I hate 4.2 because of the bugs. Anyway, there must be config files to edit the volume. These apps don't seem to do Nada.

I do not want to root at this time for various reasons. Stupid of me for even posting this seeing you would have to have su in order to edit config files or run scripts. I noticed volume+ on the play store states that the app will most likely not work unless you're rooted. Bummer.
I just flashed back and do not want lose everything nor do I want to back everything up. Wish they would just provide a way to boost volume or would have tested the volume on the device! It's too low!

Depends on where you buy it, it maybe be a ear safety regulation, I know in some countries volume must not exceed certain value. For example, if you get an iPod in US or France, then the US one is going to be way louder.
I don't know whether this is the case with N7, or just a design flaw.
Mine used to do the same until I installed the apps called ear piece and speaker boost and use them together also go into there settings and adjust them to a 100% GOD BLESS YOU GUYS

Those two apps do work but I am picky. Wish I could have the boost and not lose the bass. They only seem to boost midrange a bit and then distort. If I use Google music eq it cuts the apps out and vice versa. I am still experimenting. Thanks for all the help. God bless you as well.

Well I discovered the problem. I am a dimwit! It was partially my over the ear headphones! I tried some ear buds with the equalizer app and it is amazing! Lol...forgive.....

I was going to ask what kind you have LoL glad you fixed it GOD BLESS YOU GUYS

By the way. The eq in Google music works just fine. No need for me to even use an app.

Big headphones require more power
And usually those are oriented more towards clean studio sound (unless you're using Beats, which is just bass and some more bass and nothing else)
Try connecting N7 to big headphones trough an amplifier, I'm sure you'll notice the difference.
I'm glad you figured it out.

[Q] Making the sound drivers louder with headphones?

So I like my music loud when I put my headphones on, and I found that the nexus 4's sound drivers are just too quiet. Used to use an iPod touch for music and that would deliver a good amount of volume. I am using cyanogenmod 10.1.0 rc4 and matrix 9.0 kernel. Is there any app that will allow me to make the drivers louder?

Depending on what kernel you use, they will have a feature for headphone gains etc.
Franco Kernel has this..... to control it you need his app which cost $$$.
Use trickster mod from play store

[Q] Increasing louc speaker volume?

Hi,
Nexus 4's loud speaker volume isn't so high compared to other phones, as you guys already know. I know that there are apps that can increase the volume. But how far can i push it? I don't want to ruin my speaker. And yes, there is a mod that increases the volume of the nexus 4 , but unfortunately it doesn't work on xylon rom, which i'm using.
Thanks

I don't see any reason to push the speaker. The quality of the sound isn't normally great. By increasing the volume, quality will decrease even further.
Try increasing the volume with about 10%. That shouldn't damage anything.
I don't care about sound quality really, i just want to hear the song lol. And i dont know if 10% makes it better.
