9505 low volume on headphone - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
The volume on the headphone is very low on my 9505. On my s3 there was a way to replace the file that contained the volume levels with a file that increased the volume levels. I didn't find that file in system/etc on my s4. Is there already a fix for this problem? Btw my phone is rooted
Thanks

All ready had a good look there are a few files in regard to audio but not volume... did manage to find one file called hidden-volume.txt but its encrypted so characters are all mumbo jumbo

Samsung i9505 how to boost volume & sound quality?

Please help me i'm desperate i came from an iphone 4 and in the same car there is no comparison between between iphone an s4 i9505 italian version...
With iphone at the same volume level in the car the sound is powerfull and rich of bass.With S4 the sound sucks is less powerfull and soft bass.
I googled the web and i find many peoples mods their S4 reaching oustanding sound quality and power but for me is like arab to follow this mode.
I have a stock rom no pc no odin just a fu cking mackbook so i can't flash tweak mod anything.
I find viper4android purex volumeboost moderate but i really don't understand nothing how to use this files...
Seems i need odin or a rooted device...
Please really help me there is not a simple player or apk can improve power and sound quality of my S4 without hard mods flashing custom roms ect...
Please Please Please !!!

Are u connecting it through bluetooth or a aux cable? If through aux, have u tried messing with the adapt sound funtion? U can find it under sound on system settings..
Hope it helps

Yes i set also the adapt sound wich made the sound better and fuller but no comparison with the oustanding sound of iphone 4...
I have a chevy camaro with a superior boston system.If i turn the iphone to max volume and the car at the max volume is like beeing in a disco.If i do the same with the S4 is a delusion no enough power coming out compared to iphone at max volume.And my impression is also the bass are stronger with iphone at the same level.
I would like to reach the same max volume output.There is a way to do with the stock rom?
If you root your device you can edit the default_gain.conf file to give extra volume.

Go back to iPhone *shrugs*
I thought many have praised the S4 for its audio, I guess I'd better check out if I am right on that. Dunno about output volumes though.

Yes you lose warranty but not forever. You can roll back to a that will allow you to use warranty.
I'm not sure about ios.

Do I even need a Custom ROM ??

Hey peeps, all i want is to increase headphone volume, add a torch short cut and maybe increase the camera quality (if possible)
do I need a custom ROM for this or can I flash a zipfile or something ?
For the headphone volume all you need is a custom kernel I think

You can do those things with the xposed framework and gravitybox.

Franco's kernel is good

Franco's doesn't support 4.3, does it?

Just download franco.kernel from the playstore and autoflash it.It will download and install lastest kernel.Yes it suports 4.3
Also with Hells kernel you can increase the headphone volume.

For higher volume, use a lower impedance headphone or buy a new phone or buy a dedicated headphone amplifier. Torch shortcut, just download any flashlight app, they usually come with a home screen widget. Increase camera quality, buy a new phone. Sorry, couldn't be more helpful.

Volume sound Increase

I searched around for a mod that will handle the volume sound increase. Has anyone came up with a mod? The sounds on my tab 4 7.0 sucks.

Could you please elaborate a bit more on this? What about the tab sounds do you not find acceptable?

Having the save problem on my sprint tab 4, the volume seems limited I plug it up to speakers at work and the output is not nearly as high as when I connect my note 3 to the speakers. It's frustrating and would like a fix for this, I thought about rooting it then using root explorer and see if I could mood the max output but haven't tried it yet.

Volume (too) low

Guys volume on stock(kitkat) and kitkat based(miui) is way to low as compared to what it was on jelly bean(4.2).Is there anyway we can increase is to at least as much as on stock jellybean?Can we replace its "media_path.xml" file?
Thanks[emoji4]
