After downloading and installing NextRadio, I've noticed that the volume is pretty high compared with my audio players. I use PowerAmp and the Samsung Music apps, and when I set the volume to the first marker after 0, the music is appropriately pretty low. When using NextRadio using the same setting though, it's much louder. It worked this way on both my S7 and S7 Edge. I'm sure it's specific to the app, but there's no equalizer or anything in the settings to adjust. Any advice? Not a deal breaker, but when I'm listening to the radio in certain situations, I still like to be able to hear what's going on around me, and this app seems to default to a pretty high setting.

Well I am on T-Mobile and use my phone for listening to personal music. I was obviously v disappointed when the media volume on my phone was on MAX and it sounded very quiet – like it was only on half volume.
Anyway, after some searching about I found an app called VOLUME BOOST. This is a widget you stick on your home screen, leave it ON and when you plug your headphones in it increases the sound by what sounds like around 40-50%. So it’s quite a considerable boost (if you excuse the pun).
I have tried other music apps with EQ but adjusting the gain although makes the music louder, it really distorts it, makes it incredibly flat and any bass just sounds awful!
So from this, the VOLUME BOOST app is not simply a GAIN BOOSTER. It really IS a volume booster. Therefore, what is it changing on the device to get the increased volume!?!?! Which is what the phone should HAVE anyway.
So does anyone know a permanent way to fix the volume so it is at it’s maximum capability like what VOLUME BOOST does?
The reason I want to find this out is so a) I don’t have ANOTHER widget to sap my battery + clog my home screen and b) the trial is only 7 days and although it’s a cheap app, I have an objection to paying for things that a £450 phone should already be able to capably do.
Cheers.
By the way, the VOLUME BOOSTER app is found on the market place for anyone interested who has low sound volume. THIS WILL FIX IT. I promise you.
Finally you have someone telling you a fix without telling you to download a new player and adjust the gain.

Not sure if this is where this goes or not, but since i have so few posts, i can onpy place it here. Just in case anyone else is having issues. My evolvedrom final rom kept breaking my alarm. Turns out anytime i uninstalled any app using the settings and manage applications portion to to so, it would break my alarm. just a little fyi. To get wicked volume, i used the qpst method to raise all volumes to 4 instead of the stock 2 setting. Throw in poweramp and, the sound is freaking LOUD!!! i love pandora but i just listen to it and add the artists it chooses to poweramp. same random music, only much louder than pandora... Rock on dudes!!!
Is there a way to boost the maximum volume? I used audio boost for my GS2 and was wondering if there were any other apps that did this for the Nexus 7, especially for Netflix, which always seem quieter than the rest of the device
I thought I was going mad when I could have sworn Netflix was quiet. Was wondering about an audio boost app.
On my prime I use Volume+
for the prime i use volume +7, bass +4. And it sounds awesome. Not sure which settings to use on the nexus as I dont have mine yet, just play around with it. Works great.
Different profiles for bluetooth, headphones, speaker, etc .
I downloaded several equalizers for my Note 3 to use with various streaming players (Live365, TuneIn Radio). I find when I start the equalizer, the sound level decreases substantially. When I deactivate the equalizer, the sound level returns to normal. Anyone else experience this?
Yes, I hve the same problem and it drives me nuts. I set the Soundalive option to Rock and myvolume when down so low I could barely here it. Set it back to Normal and the volume is better but still not what it was.
Use Viper4Android sound mod.
Question for those of you with this phone.
Are any of you using a 3rd party music player? I have Poweramp and I noticed that the sound for this is much lower on this device as opposed to the when I had the Galaxy S4. Even tweaking the EQ like I did on the S4 yields no results. Right now I am using Mortplayer Music since most of my music is in various folders not all by album. So far the sound is pretty good but it just strikes me as odd that these players are much lower than the Google Play Music app. I don't really care for that app, as it decides it wants to pull from the streaming library despite me saying local only... I don't remember having this issue on older versions...(maybe it's just me) but I was never really sold on this app anyway.
I also tried shuttle+ and Flipbeats with similar results...

It could be the sound processing in general that is the issue. I have noticed that the volume is softer in general than other phones I have had. Even in my house I have found that the volume has to be at least half to consistently hear notifications/phone calls, in or out of pocket.
When playing music using headphones or over Bluetooth, maybe using the various H/K processing could be lowering the volume. With it on and the volume maxed, I still have to turn up my aftermarket car radio's volume up more than I'd like to to hear the music (oftentimes podcasts) and especially taking a call over Bluetooth.
