Audio boost? Other than an app

Nexus is very quiet when listening to music on it. Is there a hack for it to boost the audio out put beyond Google limitations?

No sound through speakers/only notifications

I have an issue with my nexus 4 where the only audio that comes out through the speakers are notifications/alarm. All audio works just fine when headphones are plugged in.....any suggestions? Work fine until a couple minutes ago.
Headphones-All sounds work.
No Headphones- only notifications and Alarm work.

Dumb suggestion, but clear out all recent apps. I had an issue like yours (but no sound through head phones either) and I found that the stupid chive app was goofing up the sound output. When I clear that app out of recents, I got my sound back. Not saying that's your issue, but worth a try.

Try it. Got soundabout app from app store and set it to speaker and it worked fine. So I'm assuming phone is stuck in headphone mode.

EQ

Does the N4 have an eq that I can use while listening to music via Bluetooth in my car? I want to adjust some settings when listening to podcasts or live music apps.

Stock should include musicfx. Other than that, there are plenty in the Play Store.

What do you mean "when I click on it"? MusicFX sucks for BT streaming anyways. I highly recommend ViPER4Android. I used to require speaker boost apps and have all my volume settings for my phone and car stereo on max just to be able to hear the streaming music. Now, with V4A I don't need any extra booster apps and my BT streaming sounds just as clear and loud as a CD.

You are supposed to use the A8 drivers for the Nexus 4 if you go by the instructions in the V4A thread. However I got better sound with the A9/A15 drivers. I also installed V4A on an sgh-I747m and the A8 drivers worked best on that device.

Weird speaker problem

Hello guys I have a quick question.. I have a problem with my speakers.. Phone and headphone jack... when I plug in my headphones the music starts and the beat sounds nice and the but I can't hear the voice.. It's always faded but the beat sounds fine.. Also the onboard speaker does the same but not as nearly as severe but a reboot fixes the onboard speaker and goes back to normal.. Is my headphone jack done for? Again the beat sounds fine but voice is non existent.. Is weird. Thanks in advance.

Do you an app that adjusts the sound? like an equalizer app or sound app? When i had a galaxy s3 if i had it in rock mode or anything other than stock the sound was not as clear as in stock mode.

A similar thing happened with my iPod Touch. It turned out to be the headphones. Maybe try some new ones? I am not sure of the onboard speaker problem however.

Yeah I tried my computer speakers and sound works but still sounded a bit funny.. Not enough to notice though.. I'll check a different pair of headphones when I can.. And yeah I did flash one of those sound mods from the nexus 4 apps section but I uninstalled it..

Ya, so just try different headphones and go to default sound. Hopefully itll be good

Mic Volume

Any way to increase the mic volume? Very hard to hear on Skype.

If your rooted then download and install Viper4Android. Check XDA for the apk and information. It blows away any other audio mod. It includes increasing the volume (gain) among many other controls.

I've had Viper since it came out. Best mod ever too! I didn't think you could adjust the mic volume though. I can hear them fine but they can't hardly hear me on their end. There's adjustments in a prop i can male but Iscrewed around to much and killed my sounds altogether and needed to reinstall the rom. I've got it working fine on my phone but it has headset properties that the tablets don't.

This is an example of the headphone adjustments I've made on my phone to increase the volume.
