Low headphone/earphone volume after Jellybean update - Galaxy S III General

I've seen some similar reports on the internet but, anyone else having this problem as well?
Updated the S3 (international version) to Jellybean yesterday and everything seems fine.
One thing I noticed is that the volume through the earphones are very very low. I've had to crank the volume all the way up and it's still not as loud as it was before I updated to Jellybean. It makes the music extremely quiet and it actually sounds worse bass/clarity wise.

I noticed the same thing here. Just flash sound hack.

Quiet speaker on CM7

Ever since installing the first CM7 built at the beginning of the year my phones external speaker has been substantially quieter when compared to Samsung Rom's. I have turned off the voodoo sound option to tune speaker for music, which makes it only slightly louder. On Samsung rom I was able to always hear my phone ring and incoming notifications, lately I have been missing a lot because the external speaker volume is just too low. Anyone have any solutions to increase the maximum volume of the phone speaker? Thx

Aha, I thought I was getting deafer from nightly to nightly, but also noticed the lower volume. Think that on #96, it was still like stock.
dont you think you would get more help on cm forum ?
which versions are you talking about.
I'm running #102 and do not notice anything like it.
Go to DSP manager->phone speaker->enable equalizer. Then select custom preset and increase the last 3 bars to around +5. Reduce the last one if u getting too much treble

Galaxy tab Bootup sound problem

Has any body noticed that the bootup sound is very low. I can hardly hear it on stock rom. Is it normal or it is only my problem? And does rooting causes this problem.
Thanks and regards

Hi I currently have Overcome ROM which has a different bootup but when I first got my tab the bootup sounded pretty loud, even after rooting it. btw I have GT-P7510 and not 7500
TBH, I didn't even know there was a bootup sound. :S

Finally I've found a solution for this problem. They have separated. System volume adjuster and the media volume adjuster( they were one thing on gingerbread ). So go to settings / volume and increase the system volume

Volume is WAY too...

Quiet :-( on some roms, I can't hardly hear anything with the volume all the way up and holding it to my ear, other roms are better, but still not as loud as it used to be before I diverted from stock. I've tried to flash my stock backup and it was loud as ever until I hit the volume controls, then it got half as loud, but still at max volume.
I have tried volume+, it didn't do jack but distort everything, and my luck seems a tad better on sense roms (which is not a problem at all, I <3 me some sense).
Is there anything in the build.prop that I can tweak to get that burst of loud at the first play on a new rom? Or is it just....well, my luck, to say the least that I have a **** speaker?

If your talking about an AOKP ROM there was a problem with their build 39... Build 40 fixes those audio problems based on their changelog
if your talking about a volume problem based on a port from the desire family they usee low audio files than we do.

Even on your rom that was supposed to be wake the neighbors loud :-( the ones that are desire based aren't too bad, but even the sensation ports were quiet. I'm beginning to wonder if its my phone :-(

Sounds like it is your phone. As a last resort you could try flashing a PD15IMG. If it doesn't work on stock, it's not going to work.

I have an issue with a belkin bluetooth car receiver that I'm impossible to change the call volume. Media volume works great. I don't know if it's an incompatibility with android or the device is defective. Tried with 2 other android smartphones (motorola) and had the same issue. They were running cm7. Was thinking it was a driver issue and tried changing to another brand.
But only with an iphone 3g I could control volume. All android smartphone I get a very very loud volume and it's impossible to use.

Is there any code that's shared between phones, like inside phone.apk. Maybe there's a solution?

Headphone volume?

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.

Bad sound quality on 4.4 custom Roms

Hallo,
I would like to make a simple question...
Tried 2 custom 4.4 Roms on my LG G2 (droidkangs and mahdis) and in both versions I noticed the same problem...
The speaker sound (even though loud) is of VERY bad quality when playing deeper sounds like basses!
In stock Roms the sound (same MP3) is crystallclear... Tried many settings in DSP manager... Tried almost everything I found in iNet, but I am going back to stock based Roms as on max volume its like my speaker is broken :/ (when I use headphones or BT headset I don't have that issue)
Could any1 please tell me what the reason for this problem is?? Is it normal that the sound quality from speaker is so much worse than the stock versions??
And can this be fixed?
Please, if some1 knows the answer just give me the info as I rly don't want to go back to stock Rom :/
Thank you!
I have the same problem on Cyanogenmod 11 and Paranoid .
CyanogenMod the sound is pretty low, on Mahdi's pretty high. Try equalizer settings on those ROMs. It might require a tweak to your liking.

Same here. Running CM11 and speaker quility cracks up when it gets loud. I tried messing with Viper, but alas, no improvement. Don't think there's a fix yet though..

Mahdi has same issue if you max sound... I think that all the 4.4 roms have this problem so flashing other customs won't help.
i never use the speaker because i thought it was terrible to begin with but i just tested it out and and mine does not get very loud but i use headphones 99.999.9999999999999 percent of the time but it is definately a bug but other than this bug i really havent had anyother problems
