[Q] S4 i9505 Low sound volume on headphones - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, I just want to ask if it is normal for i9505 s4 to have low volume sound on using headphones even on full volume?
I tried the same headphones on an itouch and it is much louder on full volume and when i tried it on s4, the volume is just half as the itouch volume even on full.
Thanks.

I too have an iPod Touch and at full volume it can be slightly louder than the S4 but I don't listen to my music at full volume so it doesn't bother me. If you're still running the stock ROM, you can try using Adapt Sound. Works only with the stock music player though.

With my IEMs I find it loud enough. As mentioned if you use the stock music player run adapt sound it increases the volume.
Otherwise you can install a kernel like Faux kernel and he has implemented sound control you can increase the gain and boost volume even louder if you wish.
Or you can install Viper4Android and boost volume on that too.

Thanks for the reply guys. I just got my s4 and I'm currently afraid of flashing stuff and etc..
Will flashing a new kernel/rom trigger my knox status? it currently have 0x0.

Music Speaker Volume

Hi all
I would like to know if some software can make the speaker more louder or maybe some manipulations in advanced system setting.
Thanks
P.S:forgive me for my bad english
PowerAmp has an equalizer preset made just for phone speakers. It gives some punch. I don't know of any modification on the system that increases the volume, and I advice you to not mess with it =P
Rocking with my M2 and XDA app
Arff,i already have PowerAMP with this preset but the sound is not much louder with it.
The alarm volume dont wake up me compare to my old n95
Thanks to you
If someone have any idea for increase volume,let me know
There are some apps, but saddly doesnt work with milestone 2, louder volume hack and Volume+, i dont know if there is an app that works with our m2, or some kind of hack. I really need this, the speaker volume is very low :S

[Q] How to boost Headset sound volume ????

Hello all,
Before my Nexus 4 I have a Galaxy Nexus, and I love to listen music in maXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX volume,
On the GN, I can find easily kernels with easy and good sound boost, in trickster mod,, just have to chose between 0 1 2 3 sound boost, and enable or disable HQ sound
And it really works well with a Goood sound
On my Nexus 4 I tryed to play with my preferd player : PowerAMP, I tryed to boost replay gain, enable/disable direct sound control, tryed to boost volume in DSP manager, boost volume wiith franco kernel headset and volume boost options...... but when I try any sound boost, rapidly the sound become stronger but with a very poor quality, and horrible crackling.....
I tryed XLOUDER on my GN and N4 but for me i'ts just a renamed DSP manager.
Somebody have a GOOD way to boost the sound with good quality please ? any app/kernel/hack ?
Because I LOVE listen music with the volume to maximum, but not with this horrible crackling ....
Thanks a lot for replies
I use the xlouder mod posted on the themes and apps section with the franco kernel app with the volume boost set to 6 and gain set somewhere to 4 to 6. It realllllllllllllllllllly helps out alot. If you want some good dsp manager settings set the compresion to minimal and bass boost to moderate and set the equalizer to be in the shape of a u with the two end values set to be the biggest but not all the way. Set it to either strong or strongest.
Also you need to have good headset because if you have a cheap one then it will crackle and sound really bad im using monster turbines and they work great without any crackling. There is a bit of hiss due to the volume gain set to be higher then normal but it really doesnt bother me.
thanks,
but if I try to change everithing in DSP manager, or with xlouder, the sound becomes crappy directly
in franco, if I push the headset gain or boost after +3 the sound become crappy....
And if I try XLOUDER, if I just set bass boost in Small (the first) all my earphones gone to explode with bass saturation... even if i try to plug my home Sony amplifier, the sound is completly saturated with bass.....
for earphones, don't worry I have Sennheiser CX 890i , never have any problem with my GN

OMEGA rom, Sound louder but quality lowered. How do I fix?

I've found since moving from stock to omega sound is louder but less quality output. Is there a reason for this?
As when I revert to stock rom this issue is not present

You'll need to edit the "snd_soc_2x_Fusion3_auxpcm" file. Search for a thread about volume boosting and which values to change.
In your case - the digital volume ("headset") will have been increased in that file to around the 70% mark, therefore you'll need to decrease it back down to around 60%. From my experience, once the digital volume gets above 65%, and you listen to VERY sensitive i.e.m's at low volume you may be able to hear 'swooshing' 'buzzing' noises where the S4's amp isn't providing much power to them as you're probable on the bottom few notches of the volume slider (analogue amp) and the increased digital volume is giving you artifacts in the sound.
Full size headphones and aux equipment generally will not be a problem as you tend to boost the analogue volume higher for them towards the top of the slider- therefore providing more power from the amp - plenty enough to drive them efficiently regardless of the level of digital volume.
My stock MEA rom has a "headset" digital volume value of 60% which gives me a clean sound for my i.e.m's. Whenever I use the 'aux' in on my car I'll change the value to 67%.
I hope this kind of makes sense!

[Q] Improve headphone volume on S4?

Hi guys I have a Samsung S4 GT-I9500 with stock KK. However, the sound with the headphones is too low. Is there any way I can improve the volume without flashing a Custom Rom or Custom Kernel? Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

I would rather prefer to improve audio quality instead of volume. Use the Adapt sound feature of your stock music player or you can use Vipers audio. It will increase your volume and quality but consumes more RAM.

[Q] Note 3 ANALOG! Volume Boost?

Does anyone know of a way to boost the analog volume of the Note 3? The only volume mod now just makes the digital volume louder, which doesn't work for me because I EQ for a lot of bass and all it does is make the bass clip and distort. I remember on my Note II you could change the actual analog volume of the amplifier with some kernal/software. I know with FauxSound there's a slider for analog volume but it doesn't seem to work, at least on the Note 3. Anyway.
TLDR: Is there a way to boost the analog volume of the amp on the Note 3?
I would also be very interested in this, and also if there is any boost for Bluetooth sound. @KosanRio: synapse +viper4android can still give you a louder volume+acceptable bass at loud volumes, but yeah, analogue would be so much better
What do you mean by ANALOG? You want to increase internal speaker volume?

Directly make the headphone amplifier louder rather than just increasing the system volume (Which causes clipping/distortion)
bump?
