Anyone else think the volume of the external speaker is too low. I litterally struggle to have a speakphone conversation and watching media is disappointing.
Could it just be my phone hardware and needs to be exchanged for a new unit?

I have the same problem. The speaker volume is quite low, especially compared to the headphone volume.
Yes, very low. That has been a little disappointment to me.
Same for me. Do the last update solve this problem?

Solution!
Hey!
Cut a long story short, I Bought my neuxs s and was very disappointed with the volume level especially on the headset.
I looked round for 2 weeks for a solution, found one!
INSTALL A KERNEL WHICH SUPPORTS VOODOO SOUND CONTROL!
The sound volume is now VERY loud!
Here is a link to a hybrid kernel, half stock, half Cyanogenmod with Voodoo sound & colour control! its outta this world

The newest update that just came out increased my in ear speaker tremendously.

Voodoo requires a custom kernel, but it doesn't increase the volume anyway.
But I think it's loud enough, and who watches a movie on their phone?

install volume (+) sound boost works like a charm really....
great improvement in sound after this,,..and no rooting required even..
I been searching non stop and asking questions everywhere without getting a step forward, and I know this isn't the right place and way to go about it, but it needed to be done. We need a flashable volume mod. Unfortunitly my rooted N7, is really my wife's N7. So I have to keep it relatively stock. I noticed volume increase app's dont work, and there hasn't been an xloud mod yet. Truth is we NEED a fix to make it louder. PLEASE help with a mod/fix! I can guarantee it'll bring much happiness to a lot of people, and a lot of praise to the dev who makes it happen. I have see a few roms that have volume mods. Problem is I can't run a themed out, badass Rom cause then my wife will realize I did mod hers and she'll flip.....and blame every little thing that goes wrong on me.
I use paid app volume+
The improvement in audio levels is very obvious
Some said this app doesn't work on jellybean but I beg to differ

You might have a defective unit. Someone else was complaining about their speaker volume being quiet even at max volume, but mine gets fairly loud. I don't know if you're looking for ear-splitting volume though.
I think peoples' opinions of the volume are relative. For example, in a quiet environment, mine seems loud. In a room with a lot of white noise (window AC, fan even), it seems to get drowned out.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Would volume+ help raise the volume with head phones/head phone jack? I don't care about the speaker volume, but I recently took a flight on a small plane sitting next to the engines and could barely hear my ear buds at max volume.
It's not defective. It could just use a little boost. My EVO 3d needed the same treatment, xloud mod plus volume+ app was the perfect combo. Basically like u called it, seems ok most of the time but gets drowned out easily. Volume+ has a headphone and Bluetooth boost....if the app really works on JB.

Hey guys,
I've seen many people who go back to Sense or GPE Roms cuz of the sound distortion we experience with our m7 & m8 models.
I mean come on, we audio freaks buy this phone for its amazing sound quality & screen quality.
Anyway, I've attached some screenshots to this thread with my settings to Viper4Android (V4A).
Note: this will work on S-on & S-off devices & all Roms without boomsound/Harman kardon.
It's just a application so don't worry hehe.
Download viper4android apk & install it.
Choose the highest quality sound & reboot.
After you rebooted your device just copy my settings.
Tick the 3 dots on your upper right corner & go to UI settings and choose expert.
Why do people always want people to click the thanks button so badly that it is enlightened in red underlined text ! They press it when they press it......
My meter is up a bit, not once flashed it around or got it noted by a statement like that, never asked for it....
But nice find....
Cheers.

Yeah I get it,
I just want to share my 5cents here cuz it was pretty frustrating for me too have distorted speakers with those Roms.
I got a bit excited after testing here & there and got it to work.
So I shared it.
I'm trying to find the perfect settings for the HTC ear buds atm
Cool, enjoy your findings and experiments to find the ultimate setup.
Trying it out tomorrow thanks dude, goodnight from Colorado.

Thank you so much for this. I actually applied your settings and messed with them a bit to suit my tastes. Here's my profile. (Just throw it in /SDCARD)
OK guys here is my speaker set up using V4A and the sound is very good thought I would share my settings with y'all
First you need to head over to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2442933
[IRS] ZhuHang's IRS - Impulse Response Samples - 24/11 (Many updates + Accudio IRS)
Download the "Creative X-fi extreme fidelity" IRS pack there is a 128 free version cause you need to apply the "Creative X-Fi acoustic" in the impulse response for the convolved.
Here are screen shots you will not be disappointed
Some songs may need a little adjusting all you have to do is adjust the extra loud settings a little either up or down a notch but these are the starting point and extra loud IMHO is all that needs to be messed with
Useful, thank you very much.
I just got my bottom speaker broken. At first, V4A worked fine. Then, I played the "My Boy! Free" GBA emulator and the sound also worked. I turned to standby and when I resumed the app, there was a sound that became louder and louder until it broke the bottom speaker. The sound did not come from the game. A combination of issues must have caused it.
Maybe V4A is to blame for the damage. Under normal settings it worked just fine, but this unknown bug caused a sound that was way louder than it should have been.

On a related note, would be better if it was possible to change the max volume instead as i believe this doesn't fix notification distortion ?

Hi Guys,
My last Samsung device was SGS2 , and i can't remember if i liked the way it sounded. But i definitely am not happy with how Note4 sound. My previous phones were Htc m7 and Iphone 5s, and i loved the way they sounded , especially my HTC.
Since HTC had a Snapdragon processor, i do believe they should sound similar due to similar DAC, or at least i hope devs can work on the equalizer , o port htc m7 sound?
It fells like my Htc Wildfire S sounds better lol :laugh: Samsung's sound is not rich , no bass , and if you turn the bass on in EQ then its not loud enough. or maybe i am just deaf .
If you have an EQ preset , while listening music in spotify it take a few second for EQ settings to get applied, so every time you skip a song the volume gets really HIGH and then EQ kicks in and the volume gets lower. Annoying.
Let me know what you think about it guys? Maybe there is a solution already? :good:

Well it's now in airplane mode.. Nothing else happened. Should the sound get better this way?
I found the whole sound calmed down a bit and wasn't as in your face, bit easier to listen to and timing improved. Still lots of amp noise though when listening loud.
---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------
Also what app are you using?
Don't get my note 4 till Friday buy have you tried using viper? You need to be rooted but it usally makes a big difference
I didn't know what setting to use with viper vfp non vfp yada
Noticed this myself, even using different earphones didn't make too much of a difference, the sound on my old LGG2 I think was largly better also snapdragon800.
While the sound output isn't as loud as my iphone 5, the sound is certainly very clean. Been listening to quite a bit of music (spotify extreme quality) with a trusty old pair of Klipsch s4i's and its been quite enjoyable. Music is plently loud on these headphones, but the output might be an issue without an amp for a more hungry pair of cans. Overall im very happy with the detail that is coming through. I'd even say music is a little more lively and not quite as flat as was playback on the iphone 5.
Did you try the Adapt Sound procedure? It helped my sound a lot and increased the volume too. I'm using the stock music app so then you can also use the built in eq in its settings (ie SoundAlive). Plenty of bass for me.

I find the mids and bass a little mashed together with not much separation and pretty distant from the ear. I use Westone 4R IEMs which are a dead neutral sound, my Galaxy S5 seemed to have the mIds and bass a bit more pronounced, with better separation. and clarity.

On a side note, I found that if I used the Adapt sound process (where I said I could every tone which means no tonal changes), that although it does raise the volume, there is a bug when making calls using the phones own earpiece if Adapt is enabled. The sound is weird...digital sounding. Fortunately you can turn off Adapt for voice calls while still leaving it on for music.
I'm actually quite enjoying the sound now but in at a bit of an advantage as the music player I'm using is running very low level code. Not managed to get the correct/good sound from power amp.

What variant do you have the qualcom? Only had the phone a day but I've seen a rom in the tmob n4 forum that has viper working. If he gives me permission I'll port it if not I'll loom at dropping a deodexed rooted Base for the 910f with a couple of mods in it. I've not really looked at much yet but there does seem to be a lot of development on the tmob forum, it's not going to be much work to get their version of twrp working on all qualcom variants

Can anyone who has downloaded the update comment on the improvements?
Also, is the camera any better (especially in low light)?
I've only used it for a little while but seems almost the same to me, just different notifications... Maybe things load faster?
On my end, it was horrendously slow, looked the same and camera lagged. Went back to LOS.
Collective Dolby Atmos Port Thread OP checking in. Any noticeable changes to Dolby Atmos for this device?
Inc Axon 7 Atmos Update if so.
Stock music player randomly stops. Flashlight from pull down bar doesn't always work. Dolby kills the battery faster than on MM. No problems with the camera so far. My Voice has some issues still.
My thoughts on the update so far:
1) Camera is MUCH improved. Focuses much faster and more accurately in low light (which was awful before). Much better low light pix.
2) Notifications are different. I don't like them (yet). Seem harder to read.
3) Tapping the fingerprint sensor to load up camera doesn't work
4) A fee misc bugs here and there but overall speedy and much faster
5) Can't tell battery life yet as its been less than 24 hrs.
6) Signal ? seems stronger
7) Everything else seems the same.

I can only compare LOS 14.1 to Marshmallow but the focus is MUCH improved on LOS 14.1 Nougat. Low light shots are pretty freaking great on LOS 14.1. I don't know a lot of what is going on but all I can say is that it seems much improved on LOS. Maybe UDev included some proprietary camera stuff in LOS?
EDIT: I've only been on LOS for one day and have taken all of 12 or so shots so definitely not a for sure thing. Just giving you my 2 cents.

No noticeable changes to Dolby Atmos, but the over-all sound seems slightly louder...But it may just be a placebo since there's other new stuff.
But as far as actual sound, it's all the same.

As for Nougat vs Marshmallow....
It's mostly "cosmetic" up to this point IMO.
I like the notifications a little better.
I haven't messed with the camera much (none in low light, yet)
Battery will take a few days to level out, so it's hard to tell yet on that
For the most part, it does feel about the same - but maybe a little smoother, but that may be some of the animation tweaks (like swiping away notifications).
Notifications expand a little different, I like that.
Double tap to wake seems to fade in, rather than instantly turn on the screen.
Over-all system seems louder... I've had to turn down my keyboard "sounds" on the apps I switch between (depending on the day)
I *still* wish there was a dark theme
Gonna update now, and then do a factory reset and start fresh with the phone. Did they update the music app? Can i finally play music in album order and not alphabetical? I really hope GPS speed is improved as well
Dolby EQ still won't let you customize the EQ and the sound is definitely louder, i only have to use 50% volume now with my ath-50 now before I'd have to use 80-90%.
With Dolby turned off the sound profile is the same but with Dolby enabled it's sounding different to me especially on YT, idk if i like it yet.

You can customize the EQ.... Open the Dolby Atmos app, choose the profile you want to change (Movie, Music, Game, Voice, ect...), click on it again and it will take you to the next screen where you can adjust the EQ (5 band EQ) and turn on or off: Volume Leveler, Dialogue Enhancer, Surround Virtualizer, ect.. .You also have 4 preset EQ's to pick from. Once you set it, you just back out and it saves it. It's always been this way.

Still MiFavor.... But, with some subtle changes. For the most part, it's still the same... The settings is now JUST the normal Android settings menu, not the "quick list" that nobody used (ok, I didn't use). But with Nova Launcher, it's pretty stock looking... Just the pull-down notification hasn't changed any.
