Looking to see what options we have to adding a bit more volume to the media levels of the external speaker.
Running LeeDroid 2.2.2/2.2.8 and even with the "20% boost" the ext. speaker is still very quiet.
What methods are there of adding more "loudness" to our external speaker after we've rooted?
Post your personal experience if possible..
Thanks!
Imho none, besides using external speakers. Don't forget it's a tiny lil speaker, what you expect from it?

Yep, it's definitely a small speaker. I've heard more (at least louder) come from comparable units. So it's an understandable expectation.
Thanks for the reply! Apparently the DSP Manager is broken when used on most new ROMs so hopefully that comes back to life.
Any other thoughts/suggestions appreciated.

Boost the sounds with a pc application and copy them back to your SD (soundforge comes to mind)

Yeah that would work with ringtones and notification tones well but wouldn't do much for media volumes. Especially when you're streaming.
Leedroid gingerbread Rom is louder quite a bit. Could always backup and try it. I can't go back to froyo even tho it will do more for me with custom kernel because I can actually hear my phone ring now.

Sad, but true. However the Desire and Desire Z do have some impressive volume levels.
HTC have fixed the volume issues with the latest ota update for those on stock. My hdh is now very loud.

Isn't that just the audio fix for the tinny sound coming through the internal speaker while on the phone?
Yes sorry you are right. Its just the internal speaker. I have tried volume booster from market and that works very good to increase volume level, but only with earphones plugged in.

As U All Know That Our S2(GT-I9100)Sound Quality is Not that much good As Other Devices HAve
We have Working DSPmanager In Both CM9/CM10 Roms But IF We Enable Bass Boost and Increase A Volume Little Bit The Sound Starts Distorting(I dontknow Word For it)
So Here Is My Settings And Apps To get Better SOund IN CM10/Cm9 Roms
I Like CM10 Rom More IN Terms Of Its SOund Quality
What U Need Is
1.Cm10/Cm9 Rom
2.Siyah 4.1.x + Kernel Link
3.Jetaudio app Link
4.Poweramp App Link
5.xxtweaker App by Fluxi Link
6.A Good Pair Of Earphones
After Installation Of All Above Things Do SAme AS I say
1.Open Jetaudio Play Any Song
Minimize it
2. Open Dsp manager And Setup BassBoost And Equalizer
Now U Will Here Dspmanager Bass And Eq Difference
3.Open Power Amp Go To Its Settings->Advance Audio Settings
Untick Direct Volume Control
4.Now Manage Its Equalizer (You Can Set According To You)
Play Any SOng Now DSPMANAGER WILL WORK WITH POWERAMP ALSO:angel::angel:
Now Open xxtweaker App i know Its Not Supported By SIyah Kernel just Open It
Cancel The Prompt
Goto Sound and Vibration Then Sound Settings
And Increment The Values AS Shown Above You can increment according to u also but dont change too much in Digital audio values
AFTER ALL THESE THINGS U WILL GET BETTER SOUND QUALITY WITH DSPMANAGER IN HIGH VOLUMES ALSO

Is it okay to use Apollo? or do i have to be Jetaudio to have all those awesome config?
cheers
awesome config btw, loving the beats :good:
Really, really helpful! Thanks heaps, bro! This entire article is extremely effective for improving your sound quality, especially the part with xxTweaker. Here is a custom EQ preset made by me for pumping out the maximum possible bass without sacrificing mids and lows:

BTW, I've changed my headphones since that thread. I own Sennheiser PX100-IIs now, and I don't think I could find a pair better than these for the S II.

How does sabsa prime compare to icecoldsandwich? Is there a big difference? I like icecoldsandwich but i also value audio quality so i would probably switch if there was a big difference.

Super galaxy is pretty good too. It has the best call quality for sure.
For music player, I would recommend ViperDHD v1.1.0 as it brings you the best sound experience with stock headphone with many sound effects for your choice.

the best sound i ever experienced is on ViperDHD 1.2.1 rom so clean and clear !!
For me, the application "Power Amp", completes any rom to get a perfect sound.

What you might find loud enough for your uses might not be for others! Like for me if I'm trying to watch a video on anything when I'm in a room with people talking or any noise I can barely hear anything.
I would recommend looking up ViPER4Droid. You can find the thread in the Android Software and Hacking forum. All you so is download both of the APKs (there called XHiFI and HF or something like that, forgot the exact acrynom) in the thread for your android version and put them on your sd card - there is a zip for each one and when you extract them you will get two more zips, one for 4.0 or before and one for versions after, extract the appropriate zip and youll get the apk you need. Install both of them and when you open them up it will prompt you to install a driver, look at the thread for which one to install, and then reboot and your good to go.
You then can open up the apps and there is an abudant amount of settings you can adjust. One of them being speaker loudness level.
But dont follow my instructions, the thread is very thorough and detailed! And explains everything about it, confirmed working on our device, its actually implemented into Blue Kuban already.

If you're rooted try faux kernel with the faux sound found in the market. It works beautifully there is also a beats bass enhancer that you can use with it.

I bought my s4 last night and the first thing I noticed was that the low speaker volume. I will preach viper mod. I came from the galaxy s2 running jellyverse 3.0 with viper pre installed and WOW the speaker volume is insane loud. On that phone. Thank you inlineboy for verification that this works. Ive searched and found nothing for s4, until now. Installing now ill come back with results.
Ok Back from install. I downloaded fx and XHiFi apks. Installed both drivers. In the Fx app I enabled eXtra Loud and sat it to extreme. Opened XHiFi Enabled it and sat both to small speakers. I did not tweak anything else and the speaker is 2x as loud. The ink effect lock screen is very loud now. Every sound on s4 is 2x loud. Overall Its a score. For those who want to fix their low volume problem, this is the it. I hope this helps someone. Im running stock rooted mdl. I rooted using chainfires method. Installed busybox.

ViperFX is amazing. I have it baked into my E4GT ROMs and I'm running it now.
One thing I found is the driver folder needs to be on the external SD Card to have the drivers show up in the app.

Hey guys, I have the 16GB Nexus 4 running RasBean 4.3 and I've noticed (since I got this phone) that the headphone volumes are really low D:
Anyone know how I could change this? (Custom kernel, mod, etc.)
