I use my tablet as a Media Center / Navigation in my truck via Bluetooth. When I had Honeycomb the volume coming from the tablet was considerably louder with plenty of headroom. Since flashing Jellybean I have both tablet and Stereo volumes maxed and still not near as loud as I had before. Is there a patch for this or can someone guide me to increase the output volume via script?
Thanks
Bump....

This may sound totally ridiculous to most of the posts that I found regarding volume on the Hermes (most problems being volume too low), but for me, it's just the opposite. I just got my 8525 and ran the SIM unlock and updated the radio to 1.51. Then, when I went to listen to mp3s via headphones, I realized that the volume was too loud and that the system volume barely affected it. When it was near 0, it would still be too loud, then when I lowered it all the way, it would just be muted.
I know that I can use an in-line volume adapter to lower it, but it's another adapter to connect to the one that already has to convert the mini-USB to 3.5mm and would just make it bulkier.
Are there any software / registry hacks to lower or increase the volume sensitivity control?
the OEM headphones have a volume control on the side, is that not working?
I'm using an adapter to use my own headphones. I tried looking for an adapter that had a volume control, but haven't found one yet. Anyone find one that does that?
emmfan i have the same problem as you. I also have the USB adapter (htc speedport>3.5mm, standard usb, htc speedport) and using my 3.5mm headphones is just WAY too loud. even the default system sounds are painful to listen to, so that throws listening to music out the window. The strange thing is thatI vaguely remember this NOT being a problem... either way, I have the same symptoms as you. The system volume sliders do extremely little in way of volume changing, too... I'd really like if there was some way to fix this, because now my investment in the Adapter is going to be a waste..
Hmmm, I don't remember if the WIZARD had a 2.5 or 3.5 connector but it had a VOLUME CONTROL. Maybe (in worst case with an additional adapter from 3.5 to 2.5) it will work properly?
I ended up getting an additional adapter for volume control (http://www.amazon.com/Shure-EA650-C...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1193240874&sr=8-1), which made the cable ridiculously long. Too bad they don't have a mini-USB to 3.5mm adapter with a built-in volume control. I also noticed that I lost some sound quality when I used the volume control adapter.
I finally decided to try a bluetooth headphone adapter and went with the i.Tech Clip R35 (http://www.itechdynamic.com/en/products_spec.asp?cid=2&pid=02030). The sound wasn't so good with winmo5, but now that I upgraded to winmo6, it's a lot better. And no more unnecessary adapters and cables, plus AVRCP makes controlling music even easier.
Sorry to bring up an old post, but haven't been able to find a fix yet. Anyways, I am having the same volume problem. The system volume is on the next to the last click, and media player is down to 5%, and it's still way too loud. Any help? I updated my 8525 to Schlap's 4.22 if that helps.
could that be some kind of bug? i cant imagine what its like at 100% with max system volume. lol..
i listen to music with in-ear earphones via usb-3.5mm adapter too.
i put the system volume to level 3, sounds beautiful to me.. neither loud nor soft. and volume of incoming calls/sms tones are just nice too..
the volume of music doesnt change much by adjusting the volume of the media player, its more dependent on the system volume.
and i found out that if your system volume is, for example, 50%, the volume of the media player is actually capped at 50%. that means there is no difference if you increase the player's volume beyond 50%. (applys to htc audio manager, not sure about wmp)
btw im using softbank x01ht with official htc rom
does your media player app have an equalizer/pre amp function (TCPMP) you can turn that down or disable the EQ making the volume lower

I've been using windows media player, but also tried HTC music player. Same thing for both. I have also tried the equilizer both on and off, and different settings. No difference, what so ever.
Since I received a 'extUSB --> 3.5mm' converter today I've the same problem.
Just to loud even when everything is put on the lowest setting possible.
Anyone a solution?
After upgrading to Windows Mobile 6, this doesn't seem to be a problem. But most of the time I am using Bluetooth headphones which also work much better in winmo6.
Not here.
Sadly, I have the same problem
Playing a song on Windows Media Player with left volume slider down to 1 click and volume of player at 5%. Still way too loud for office use without headphones.
I just tried it with TCPMP - the same song - and volume contorl knob for TCPMP fixed the problem. Anyone know why Media Player is doing this?
I've received today a new headset I ordered for my Hermes. It's the HTC U110 Headset Audio Adapter with 3.5 mm audio jack.
The headset has no volume control and now the volume is way too loud (and noisy).
Is there already a solution for this?

Take a look at this, it works for my Diamond.

I am having issues with volume through the bluetooth audio. I am unable to find a mp3 player that has a preamp included in the equalizer. Is that not possible through android??? This is my first Android phone.
Is there a hack to boost volume?? Or is there a player that boosts volume??
I have to fix this fast...I work in a factory and need to hear my jamz
There's not a hack for it yet.
anyone know of a player with a preamp??
I was thinking the same thing, the volume is very low when playing music. I've tried with both my Bose In-Ear and Klipsch S4 headphones; both were barely audible above a lawn mower.
I agree volume is low,....waiting on an app, hack,...something.
so has there been any advances in volume boosting???
my main concern is my bluetooth volume...i need an mp3 player with a preamp or something that actually boosts system volume...
anyone????
I commited my volume hack to my github about a week ago, toast pulled it so now any kernel using ToastCFH's source will also have my audioboost code in it.
It in theory should boost the output volume of every interface on the device, but the only two that I've noticed to show a real increase are the phone headset (in call one) and the Bluetooth line out.
I don't know what kernels use it ATM but I know the FPS fix for Novatec panels implements it, just look around, most probably have it by this point since it seems like everyone is using toast's source.
Its not all BT that is quiet though. The Jawbone Icon is pretty quiet, as was the Blueant T1. BT audio through the LiquidAux is ok but not super loud. But the Moto H17txt is, well, louder than hell! Have to turn phone bt vol almost all the way down. 4 diff devices, 3 volume levels...
My concern is just with audio out through wired stereo headphones. I consider myself a self made audiofile and the dynamic quality of the audio output of the EVO is lacking IMO.
One way to go (audiophile quality, but pricey) is the Headroom total airhead. $99.
Runs on 4AA's and is 1/8" in and out.
You can find the older versions for less on e-bay.
I've got a headbanger amp, same basic thing as the Headroom.
Link also has some cheaper options like the boostaroo.
If you are DIY, there's instructions to be found to build the headbanger too.

Edit: Still can't post links so just google headphone amp and you'll be heading in the right direction.
Just an idea, google search "mp3 gain" this will normalize youre mp3s but you can also boost the volume by using a higher gain level when you normalize. This will clip the mp3 but i just kept a copy of the original file. I set mine to 110 percent then applied. Worked great.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to boost bluetooth playback volume. I have beats wireless studio headphones and they are definitely not as loud as they were when using them with my g3 on CM12. I do remember them being this low on the stock lg rom but when I switched over to CM the sound drastically increased. I am looking for a no root solution if possible as I am stock for the time being. I can't even feel any bass from these things and that's what they are supposed to be for lol. Any help is appreciated, thank you!
Interesting. CM12 killed my BT volume on my HAM2. I find BT audio to be just as loud as other devices I have. One thing I've noticed is that BT max volume seems louder if I make sure volume is maxed out before pairing, especially on devices that take over phone volume controls.
Unpair the headphones. Turn phone volume to maximum. Turn headphones volume to maximum. Then pair.
I'm interested as well the mixer_paths would be where we need to look but they look different than I've seen before. I've found a mod from 2014 I'll report back.

Has someone sorted out the bt volume? I also have a very low volume over the bluetooth music, as I'm using it in the car...
It also depends on the headphone I have different Bluetooth headphones and some are loud and some are not.
Well it's not headphone previous nexus 5x was fine, if there is a way to increase bt volume
Viper4arise solved the problem, however 7.1.2 also make the bt volume normal, problem fixed
Just is someone have the samr issue
The P9 is also a little less loud on BT than any other phone i had.
Is there a relatively easy way to increase the volume of media via Bluetooth without installing Viper4Android or similar app? For the most part, the volume is just fine. I am a landscaping supervisor and spend most of my days on a mower cutting grass. I recently bought some new Beats Power Beats BT headphones and the volume just isn't loud enough while on the mower. If I used my Beats wired headphones, they are plenty loud enough. I had the same issue on my Galaxy S5 but I fixed it using Wanam on Xposed I believe. Thanks in advance for any help.
I have the Samsung Level U Pro Bluetooth headset, and they are an amazing set in manipulating volumes. I can adjust the volume of the headset themselves separately from the phone's own Bluetooth volume. So this ultimately let's me put it on full blast from the volume controls of both the phone and the headset (not that I want to since I already blown my right ear nearly 6 years ago, which leaves me with tinnitus to this day).
Anyway, that's just my two cents about having loud volumes.
My Power Beats headphones have a separate volume adjustment also and it helps, they just quite don't get loud enough. I know what you mean about too loud as well but its either headphones or mower noise. 6 in one, half a dozen in the other in my opinion. And honestly, I listen to audio books as I am mowing, not music, so it's just a narrators voice and not loud music....but it does me no good if I can't hear the narrator that is reading the book. I'd rather it be able to get TOO loud and I can turn it down than to not be able to hear it over a running mower.
I have a pair of QCY earbuds which are great except for the volume is a little low even on maximum Are there any proven methods or a working app to increase the volume a little more
"EDIT" Also the AUX on the phone is a little low too I use it in my car and I have to turn up the volume on the car audio and phone very high so anything that will help is appreciated.
