So, I just updated from GB (Royal Ginger) to JB (albinoman887's CM 10.1 JB 4.2.2 KANG) and I've lost about 1/3 of my speaker's volume. I can barely hear the phone ringing unless it very close and the speaker is facing upward. I have, of course, turned my ringer volume to maximum.
I have seen kernels labeled as "Volume Boosted" and I was wondering: is switching kernels (I used the included kernel for both ROMs) the reason for my loss in maximum volume? Is there anything I can do about it?
I understand that JB on my MT4G is already more than one could ask for,;but if there is a simple solution, I'm all ears.

Do you have DSP manager installed?

Yes. I can't get the equalizer to affect anything besides media player applications (like Apollo). It was my understanding that DSP Manager was designed this way.
To be clear, I've tested DSP manager's equalizer and it's working with Apollo. It's not working with ringtones, speakerphone, nor most games/apps.
Uhh... You could try downloading AwesomeBeats v5. I think that affects the whole system.
And when I have enough time I'll actually get you something to boost your volume but I dont have time right now

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
I have seen this many times but cannot find a .zip anywhere with just this mod. I am looking for a loudness mod to increase the volume of the media speaker. Any help would be appreciated. I just got my Epic 4G today and I'm jumping right in. Thanks in advance
I want one too! Can barely hear my recorded audio when driving.
Still looking around for this. Any ideas?
Shameless bump, Still looking Maybe someone who applied a volume mod to their rom can zip up just that one mod and post it? Would be awesome
I'm not sure there is an external speaker volume mod, but there is VooDoo. Simply flash a kernel that has voodoo mods included. (Genocide, Visionkernel, twilight zone kernel).

I bet what you saw is the loudness mod in qpst. It might have been in cmda workshop, but I'm pretty sure that there was a spot in qpst that you can set speaker loudness for the ring, speaker, and something else. I don't recall it working, but the placebo effect is of great value to those that benefit from it.
I flashed twilight zone kernel and overclocked my cpu while I was at it. Voltage control wouldn't load though, for some reason, so I had to use a different app to set it to 1.3 Ghz, and it said the frequency was adjusted automatically, so I'll see if thats true or not.
Sorry for the ignorance but how do you tell if the voodoo sound driver is actually installed? I can't find mention of it anywhere in the phone UI.
Edit: haha, Guess I missed the memo about downloading voodoo control. I got it running fine now
Is it possible to port over just the feature to use on other roms besides stock? I'd imagine it's just a few files that can be extracted

thought this was going to be a thread about the horrible speaker volume (even after the update) lol..........
i also thought it was about speaker volume... its pretty bad.
I know its bad that's why I want it fixed lol. I haven't heard anyone mention a dramatic difference in volume on 2.3.5 so I don't know if it's even worth Porting over anymore and I flashed stock 2.3.5 for a split second but didn't noticea difference myself. I guess volume+ is our only option.
P.s. if you do decide to use volume+ don't forget to delete dsp manager or you'll get fc's

is it a software volume bug, or is it a tiny speaker problem? honestly, at least for ringer volume when the phone is display down and the speaker is upwards its loud enough...when the speaker is facing the table (specially cushioned surfaces) i cant hear it ring.
-gk
The ringer is loud enough (with the right ringtone lol), bit music or anything else is awful....
i dont listen to music, maybe thats why i never realized that. The tiny speaker being on the backside does annoy me though.
Hey,
So I got my SGS2 last week and I'm loving it and Android.
One thing that bothers me is that when i use the ear-phones and listen to FM radios, the lowest audio level (1) is loud for me and if i lower the volume, it goes to (0) which is mute. I was wondering if I can somehow (with an app?) add custom audio levels, like if right now its 0% 10% 20% etc, i'd like to add a 5% audio level between level 0 and level 1.
I usually watch movies/listen songs with headhphones on and i've very sensitive ears so the louder volume level at the lowest volume on sgs2 earphones is pretty off-putting.
any help would be great, i did do a quick earch on market place, there isn't an app for this afaict
bump .....
Try DSP Manager search forum for it
I have the same issue, the FM Radio is to loud on 1.
DSP Manager seems to have effect at all on my SGS2.
Are there any other solutions?

Does this work for sgs2? There's some talk in that thread about samsung devices not being supported (Volume levels of 16-30 being dublicates of 1-15).
Dsp manager works for EVERYTHING else I've tested, but not the built-in FM radio app :S Any fixes? (Wouldn't mind saving data with using FM instead of internet radios.)

I guess you meant this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20781374&postcount=14
The poster made a mistake in adapting the mod so no wonder he had some strange bugs..
Anyway, i used it on cm 7 nightlies without any bugs.
Well, sometimes there are some podcasts whose volume is quite low and quite dificult listen to them. One solution would be to increase the volume by pc, but I'm triyin to find an easier solution through the mobile.
I saw some aplications like volume booster, but any of them worked in our U8800. That is why I want to ask you if any of you know how to fix it.
THX!
Volume + should be working. Ret4rt includes it in hes rom.

I'm using dsp manager from cyanogenmod. its quite good.you can use app named 'equailizer' if have non rooted mobile.
Volume+ tested and doesn't work the volume increase (I use the rooted 2.3 stock Rom)
About DSP Manager it just let control de volume, but doesn't increase it, does it?
earphone sound volume is increased a bit can't say about speaker volume.
