Hi,
It is kind of really annoying, the sound (earphone) isn't lound enough, I really like when it is loud. I do have good earphone, on my iPad, it can be so much loud that I could get deaf. Anything to fix ? I've tried 3 differents Volume Booster on the Google Market and it makes a little louder but still not enough and break all the sound quality.
Thanks you ! I'm runing Stock 4.1.1
Anyone plase?

just as in All the other threads about poor sound and speaker quality ..
yes the sound is weak on the nexus .. Search can be your friend...
Hmm I see :/ Can't we somehow fix that ? Is it only Nexus 7 or all Android Tablets?
I really dont care about speaker, but I was expcting something good from my hearphone

Nope, it is what it is. It sounds like you already tried something like Volume+ to boost the volume. It helps a little, but it starts sounding bad if you crank it too high and you could possibly damage it too. I have Volume+ set to 7, which gives a bit of a boost without messing up the audio much.
Yeah I see :/ Is it a hardware limit or software related?

I think it's hardware since every software hack to make it louder gives a little boost and then it sounds like crap.

Oh well that sucks :/ Why didn't google bother to use a good sound card for headphone
What if I use Blutooth hearphone? Is it going te be as great as an iPad?

Have you tried Volume+? Seems to work for me.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah I did but still not loud enough and the quality get poor.
If I buy bluetooth hearphone, will it fix ?

Volume+ from app store should help you out.

People have been reporting broken speakers when playing too loud. Just be cautious
I aleady use Volume+ and it is not enough.
If I buy Bluetooth headphone, will it be better?

I find the volume of my Nexus 7 just fine, both internal speaker and headphone. But I guess the experience can vary between people and device...

Really Why not
It's not necessarily hardware, my asus transformer had low volume, then an os update sorted that all out. Have you tried out different apps to see if the problem is there on all of them. I noticed that netflix volume is pretty low but youtube is fine. It's a bit of a pain to do, but it might be worth backing up your apps and trying a factory reset.
Oh well I change rom so often that it will unlikely change anything

Unless you use Bluetooth speakers. I had a Logitech Boombox arrive today. Works great.
Please forgive me if this has been posted. I tried searching and found endless unrelated posts.
My Nexus 7 is also on 4.2, but when I adjust the volume, I have the option for expandable volume selection. I can't seem to do this on the Nexus 4. Is this just not an option, or am I suffering from brain cramps? Thanks in advance!
Does your Nexus 7 run CyanogenMod? That's a feature of CM10 and 10.1 so unless your Nexus 4 is running that as well....?
Pretty sure that's the default behavior. Don't think you can get expandable volume on the phone unless you root.

No, my N7 and N4 are both stock rooted, so I'm not sure why the difference. But it's there.

I'm with you and with same exact setup and I'm totally missing the expandable volumes feature on my n4. I want to be able to set alert volumes independently. Odd that it's on the n7 and not the n4.

You think that's bad. You know how you can have the N4 long press for numbers on the keyboard. You can't with the N7. It's madness!

I have to bump this thread even if is pretty old.
I can't find a way to add this feature to the stock android 4.3 and since I just bought the Nexus 4 I would like to avoid flashing it already with the cyanogenmod only for this feature ^^

I might not have voice controlled locks, or anything voice controlled for that matter, but I still think the technology is weird to use and too unprecise. Well, seems like he thought of a lot of things, especially the security (Encryption and stuff), so pretty neat house anyway!
Oh well, all I wanted to say was that it's quite easy to make something remote controlled, I have an Arduino, with a relay and a Bluetooth module on a power socket which I can control from my phone via BlueTerm (Bluetooth terminal app). I guess it's just a matter of taking the time to implement it to a web-based solution for optimal use and longer range...

On my original Nexus 7, the sound chip is very bad, at max volume the sound isn't even medium loud on my headphones.
I use PowerAMP with bass boost and treble boost on (I listen to electro mainly.) How does the new Nexus 7 compare?
Also, can someone compare the new Nexus 7 to S III in sound quality on headphones? Mainly how long each can go? The old nexus is terrible compared to SIII.
The new sound chip is really really good. Like really good. I use similar headphones comfortabley at about 25-35% volume, Clarity is great, good DAC.
i agree as well. i like the new sound chip as i listen to trance. and to add the new speakers and layout work better as well

As stated in the thread you linked, this does not affect headphone output, only the speakers on the tablet's output so it's not entirely relevant to the OP's question.

I'm finding its close to my HTC One coming through the headphones. Won't go quite as loud and clear but it definitely has impressed me. By far better than the first gen nexus 7!
Is the sound good because it's good? Or is the sound good because of how crappy the OG nexus was? The sound is the only thing I hate. Headphones and speakers. Makes me wonder if mine is defective. Or maybe I shouldn't expect more from a budget tablet. Would love to see more opinions.

I find the sound quality through the headphone jack is just average. Kind of muddy to be honest. I thought the original nexus 7 had a better DAC than this new one. Speaker sound is of course better than the original

I take back what I said, I had the equalizer on and it made the sound poor. The old 7 doesn't sound as good as the new one.

Don't have it on mine, but I do have a little dust on the upper left corner.
About the topic, I use my own custom made earphones, with superb bass, with AwesomeBeats mod. Works like a charm, though ViperFX also improves sound quality, I'm comfy with AwesomeBeats because its simple. Try any audio mod(requires rooting).
The sound on the 2013 nexus 7 is really good, I mean without headphones on it, it's totally another world from the first gen nexus 7.

What devices do you have? I will do some comparisons if I have any of the same devices that you have. I have a Note 2, Evo LTE, Evo 3D, Asus Infinity, 4th gen iPod Touch, and an iPhone 4.
Just so everyone knows, the iPhone 4 was free, I'd never buy an iPhone! I just use it as an iPod (never been activated by me). I did buy the iPod Touch when it was released though......SMH......

Hello all,
I have just ordered my Nexus 4 and while I wait I'm looking at all the apps/Roms/mods for it. I have chosen N4 over S4 or HTC One mainly because of the price. I hate the fact that this will be my 3rd Android experience without acceptable audio recording in videos with loud environment. Finger crossed for a fix but I doubt it.
I think I made the right decision although Nexus phones don't excel in best hardware they are very well optimized running pure Android and not to mention the latest versions. The development for this model also is better then S4 and HTC One
From what I have found so far I am going to get Faux kernel and sound and I will also install the mode to improve the camera quality and maybe enable LTE.
If anyone has other advice or apps/ROM/modes that you think they are worth please post them here. Thank you devs for this wonderful forum! Cheers!

Audio recording in loud enviroments is impossible due to the way microphones work. Take a $5000 microphone and it'll suck at it too.

I have asked on other threads if anyone can test Faux Sound and modify the Camcorder Microphone Gain to -10 or -15 I think it will make the recording OK but I can't yet test since I'm still waiting for the Nexus to arrive .
Everyone is obsessed with modifying GPU and CPU values but there are few who are interested in sound and those that are care only about the quality when listening to music. I think it's very important to be able to record OK sounds even if the sounds are loud. I know about the copyright thing and believe me this is not the issue since there are still phones out there that record good sound. If you are are someone's birthday and you want to record some memories you will have to ditch the sound
Wonder if Nexus 5 will still have this issue and finger crossed for 4.4 to allow mic gain control.
I finally have my Nexus 4 with 8GB. I have it for about 1 week and I have not root it. Did anyone managed to reduce the gain on the mic to record K loud sound?
I think this is the most amazing Android experience yet and I don't mind about the battery or thermal throttling at all.
I am even pleased with the 8GB since I have 50GB on Box and 15 on GDrive.
Only complaint is the poor sound when recording loud sounds.

Microphones can't record loud sounds. That's simply not how they work.
