Adjust A2DP Volume from phone?

Did a search, but "A2DP Volume" returns mainly headset reccomendations etc.
Just got a Altec lansing T515. Bargain at just £15 inc p+p!
Paired up fine with the HD2 and seems to work great so far (for the price).
My only dissapointment is that the volume controls on the phone do nothing to the volume of the headset/speakers.
I was really planning on getting some good use out of this wireless audio through a better amp and speakers but would really need to be able to use the HD2 as a remote control (Inc volume control).
Is there an app/utility/reg hack that will let me adjust the A2DP volume directly on the HD2???
Any and all advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

try it with windows media player and not the htc sense music player

Thanks mate, tried that.... same deal (almost).
When I adjust the volume inside WMP it still does nothing to the volume of the speaker/headset BUT when I press the mute button or lower the vol to 0% the sound on the BT Speaker DOES mute.
Also at one point I did get some funky 'pairing' problem where the wireless volume was changing using the HD2 volume rocker but the sound quality was terrible. Not sure what happened but I switched off/on bluetooth and when the devices paired again - the sound was back to good quality but the volume no longer worked.
Can anyone please confirm that I should be able to control the volume using the HD2 on ANY A2DP headset/speaker?
I'm currently using EnergyRom Maxsense 23xx 24th July.
Might switch to the 21July 23121 CHT ROM instead to see if that changes things.
But can anyone first please confirm that this SHOULD be working? or let me know of a regHack /cab/app I need to use or apply to get this 'remote volume' working?

Anyone help on this ^^^ please?

Same problem here with expensive Sony headset and reasonably priced JVC. Report it to HTC as a fault. No fix yet afaik

hmm well im getting my jaybird sportsband in a few days through mail, ill report in on if they work or not

This problem i have with all my bluetooth headsets ( i have had 3 ) and also have with the altec lansing soundblade (a bluetooth speaker - really cool)
the problem is that the volume control in software only effects the audio drive,a but A2D2 driver is on a different path so not affected.
For me has not been a problem because volume is always outputted at max via A2D2 and then i use volume control on the headsets or the speaker to reduce as required.
But i see if you have a headset without volume control then this can be a major problem.
Only method i did find to adjust volume via software was install SRSwow and in the options it is having 2 gain settings, input and output. Adjusting these does affect A2D2 volume.
I know its not a fix but it is a work around that may be usefull untill someone has a better option for you

Thanks very much for your input peeps!
rumpleforeskin: (Funniest name Ive seen all week lol)
Sounds like its not just a problem with my headset/speaker (or headset / ROM combo).
Ive got volume controls (which do work) On the headset adapter and on the speaker, but I REALLY want/need to be able to control volume remotely as I was planning to link the adapter to an amp without a remote control.
Looks like SRSWow might be the solution for now....I'll give it a try and report back tonight.
Thanks again for all your help chaps.

I actually fear this could be a demonstration the output audio is hardware wired and not software driven, thus meaning full incall recording will never be possible.

doubt it man, on the iphone 3gs on 3.0 u couldnt switch the volume of the headset through the phone but now with the 4.0 software u can , so its just a case of misssing software.

I use tcpmp and I can control the volume from the software while using my BT headsets (peltor)

Tried this ^^^, Works great for everything, thanks!
Only slight problem is a ~4 second lag between adjusting the volume and the change in actual volume.
Dont suppose there is any tweak to remedy this??
Thanks again for the help.

Yep, same problem. I'm hoping there is a fix even if it requires rooting. Otherwise I'll have to go back to froyo. All sound levels including phone calls have a reduced volume.

They are app in market that make volume founder work on DROIDX 2.3.3 it is volume + I hope that's helps

The only difference in volume I've found is with BT headset (stereo). The new GB DX switches Media Volume to 5/15 when BT headset is connected, regardless of what it was set to prior. Very annoying.

There's a dsp manager in the apex 2.0 beta. You can change volume settings with that

All the sound booster software I've seen in the marketplace, none seem to have the ability to boost the voice cal volume.

Try the apex 2.0 beta. The dsp manager works well

In call headset equalization

I have searched and read a lot of posts on headset volume, but am still confused.
My understanding is that the in-call headset sound can be adjusted by the volume rocker, but otherwise changing the sound (e.g. bass boost, treble boost) is not possible without changing system files or the kernel.
In other words, tools like DSP Manager and Volume+ cannot affect the in-call headset equalization. They only impact media playback.
Is this understanding correct?
On a related note, I read in an XDA forum for another android phone that DSP Manager and Volume+ should not be on the same phone at the same time, i.e. if you want to try Volume+, you should remove DSP Manager first. Can anyone clarify for the HD2?

You understand it.
About DSP and Volume+ at the same time, it is possible but will probably give you static, distortion or Force closes.
So yes if you want to try Volume+ you should remove DSP Manager first.

Yes, upon first launch of volume plus, there is a message that clearly explains the issues when using both. I personally love volume plus

Increase headphone volume

Hi guys,
I was testing a bluetooth headphone and noticed the volume quite low even on the highest setting the headphone could give.
Is there a way to increase the volume the phone provides over a bluetooth connection with those secret codes?
I was trying this method but the code doesn't work at all:
Samsung Focus Audio Level ChangesIncrease Speaker Volume
1- Go to the dialer of your phone and access diagnostic mode by dialing ##634# or start the Diagnosis app by clicking it from your app menu.
2- Input *#0002*28345# to get to the Audio menu.
3- See the last option named “Device Gain (max/min)”... Hit the “Get” option next to it.
4- Now from among the 3 fields: in the second one enter 1600 and in the third field enter 0.
6- Hit “Set”.
7- Tap “Start” button at the bottom of the app.
8- Exit Diagnosis by clicking the windows home button then restart your phone.
Increase Headphone Volume
1- First and foremost make sure that your headphones are attached to your phone, as the fix won’t work otherwise.
2- Go to the dialer of your phone and access diagnostic mode by dialing ##634# or start the Diagnosis app by clicking it from your app menu.
3- Input *#0002*28345# in the diagnosis screen.
4- Navigate to “Device Gain (max/min)” and hit the "Get" button next to it.
5- In the 3 fields, enter these values respectively 5, 1100 and –1100 (some people use 1500 in second field but I think it is too high)
6- Hit "Set".
7- on the next line below change the AUDIENCE.CFG to "on".
8- Tap on the "Start" button at the bottom of the app.
9- Exit Diagnosis by clicking the windows home button then restart your phone.
NOTE:

By the way I tried a few other codes I found on the internet and nothing so far :/

i have tried everything and i ended up using audioboost from play store , its a little rough around the edges but it gives it a good boost

In the Stock Music Player:Settings > Equalizer > Custom > Move the Levers all the way up,all of them.

or use voodoo louder, Its a paid app (99p) and works well (Needs kernel support, So check before buying)

Do they add distortion? Increasing the boost in the equalizer won't affect the quality ?

Does voodoo really work when using bluetooth headphones? I think it only works or if the headphones are plugged into the 3.5 mm jack. But maybe I'm wrong because I don't use bluetooth headphones.

oh i have no idea i dont use them either I know it works with the phone speaker and wired headphones tho !

Im using Voodoo Louder now, seemed to increase the volume of my phone when I'm plugged to the wired headset.

According to google play voodoo only supports the 3.5 mm jack, no bluetooth and also not the speaker.

Ok so i bought the N7000 and i am genuinely dissapointed by the volume level in headphones. Coming from iphone 3g everything is top notch except for the volume level. I am on stock Samsung ICS 4.0.3 and even the videos are not loud enough. iphone 3g which is like 3 yrs old had an awesome loudness level and quality. Anyway to increase this?

Honestly are you people deaf? At least you must be hearing impaired. When I turn up the volume to the maximum it hurts my ears. It's by no means convenient anymore. I don't want to insult anybody but I am really wondering how someone can claim the sound through the headphones is not loud enough. Maybe your source is not loud enough because like I said, I cannot listen to my mp3 files at the highest level, it hurts. So here are my propositions: Either check your source (sound files) or buy voodoo louder.

Have to agree with altae there, although I use in ears which are notably louder than cans or over ears. If it really bothers you try paranoid which has quite major amp settings so you can max way beyond stock.

I listen to music with the lowest volume and it still hurts my ears.

Perhaps you need to change your choice of music:laugh::silly:

I need a fix that works with stock ics. Dont want to root. And yes the NOTE is not loud enough. Like it or not. Htc has higher loudness too.

Poweramp offers slight volume boost... Just checking, have you tried adjusting the music volume in settings?

I listen to jpop.
Nothing strange there.
Though the speaker is not loud enough.. I don't understand the complains 'bout the headphones.

I can agree on that, the speaker isn't that good. But I bought it as a phone and not a ghetto blaster so I don't really care.

ok so judging by the replies i think i should root and use voodoo loud. Does it really crank up the volume high?

Can anybody help me to increase volume via headset ?

You could do that if you have PowerAmp Beta. Just go to Settings> Audio> Output and tweak the High res output settings. You could change the Bit-rate to a higher value for wired headset and bam, you're done.

ya I did that procedure but it shows Open SL ES Output active and not HiRes

Volume is low on apps like Google Play Music, Wynk etc where you have subscriptions. I have subscribed to Google Music and since the Audio is comparatively low, cannot listen to music while I am traveling. It'll be great if there is a way to enhance the volue level from the device itself and not from 3rd party music apps. Just like how XDA team did with "Google Camera".

This is what I am asking in many forum but no good solution yet
