Guys, I had issues with the speaker volume, but they somehow fixed themselves. Yesterday I tried to listen to some music and my headphones were barely audible outdoors at full volume. I'm quite sure the headphones are fine, as they are rather loud when plugged into my wife's iPhone, but with Nexus 4 I get may be 1/3rd of their usual volume at 100% slider setting.
I tried to search on the forum and Google it, but could find a guide to fix this issue. Has anyone encountered and successfully fixed low 3.5mm jack volume?
I would appreciate your suggestions! Thanks!
Are you rooted?
If yes you can try an audio mod like xLouder or Viper4Android.
If not you can use poweramp to boost everything although it will probably sound like ****.

Thanks for your response!
I'm not rooted, running fully stock. I don't really need to boost *everything*, just the headphone output, it's the only thing that has low volume.

Ever since installing the first CM7 built at the beginning of the year my phones external speaker has been substantially quieter when compared to Samsung Rom's. I have turned off the voodoo sound option to tune speaker for music, which makes it only slightly louder. On Samsung rom I was able to always hear my phone ring and incoming notifications, lately I have been missing a lot because the external speaker volume is just too low. Anyone have any solutions to increase the maximum volume of the phone speaker? Thx

Aha, I thought I was getting deafer from nightly to nightly, but also noticed the lower volume. Think that on #96, it was still like stock.
dont you think you would get more help on cm forum ?
which versions are you talking about.
I'm running #102 and do not notice anything like it.
Go to DSP manager->phone speaker->enable equalizer. Then select custom preset and increase the last 3 bars to around +5. Reduce the last one if u getting too much treble

Has anyone used this?
I started it up the other night, plugged in my headphones and went through the steps.
Next thing I know, my stock Music app won't produce any sound through any sort of output. I can still get sound from Pandora and other things.
I finally realized that I had to turn off Adapt Sound.
I'll be honest, I'm not even sure what it is or what it does.
Not everyone hears the same as everyone else one ear could hear differently than the ear on the opposite side of said persons head and "adapt sound" is the attempt to solve this issue. I however flashed a kernel with beats support then the beats mod and I take care of the settings that way for awesome sound.

That is exactly what im looking for. Thought i could "tweak" the system sound by running the adapt sound and lying to it telling the phone that i didnt hear the super high beeps, with the hopes it would turn those frequencies up. But that did not go as planned, Which kernel did you flash? In the meantime I'm reading through all the dif kernels.

Check out the ViPER4Android sound mod, simple installation and nothing to do through recovery. It has options to increased max volume level for headphones, speaker, and bluetooth. And not only that, there are dozens and dozens of other options to tweak the sound of your device. Plus in the thread there are a bunch of prepare sound profiles that tell you what to set all the settings to for various listening purposes!

I think sometimes the Nexus 4 microphone is way to sensitive and gives incredible overdrive/distortion. Specifically at loud music concerts. All my videos are USELESS!!! My friend with his iPhone 4 right next to me records the same thing and his videos are AUDIO perfect. Mine are total crap. Any app that can control the microphone gain/level and quality???? Similarly to the Voodoo Sounds?
Any mod?
thanks guys
I have a similar problem I use the auxiliary cable in my car and I answer calls with it but people say they can't hear me, there has to be a way to mod the microphone

Any kernel with FauxSound will let you control the camcorder mic's gain. Turning it down should reduce distortion. Or if you are rooted you can install Ezekeel's Experience app which lets you control it on any kernel.
Hi,
Nexus 4's loud speaker volume isn't so high compared to other phones, as you guys already know. I know that there are apps that can increase the volume. But how far can i push it? I don't want to ruin my speaker. And yes, there is a mod that increases the volume of the nexus 4 , but unfortunately it doesn't work on xylon rom, which i'm using.
Thanks

I don't see any reason to push the speaker. The quality of the sound isn't normally great. By increasing the volume, quality will decrease even further.
Try increasing the volume with about 10%. That shouldn't damage anything.
I don't care about sound quality really, i just want to hear the song lol. And i dont know if 10% makes it better.

I can hear distortion while using headphones on my g2 from T-Mobile, anyone having the same problem?
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
No, I got a new set of headphones for it a few days ago and I use it in the car hooked up thru auxillary input and sounds perfect both ways.
Was hearing it while charging, can anyone test for me. Thanks

I was charging and playing music on my way to Vegas and back last week and had no issues. Maybe it is just your headphones and a bad impedance match up to the audio out.

Thanks, I'll try again with different headphones, was using my Samsung's.

I was also listening with the volume maxed out, which should be the place where distortion is heard most if there is any. Do you hear the distortion problem at max volume only or anywhere on the volume scale?
