Hi guys,
when I use a headset, the volume is most of the time not loud enough for me. Has anyone tried to increase the volume when using a headset? I'd probably root the device (SM-P600) if necessary, but I would not want to use another image then the stock image.
Has anyone experience with this?
EDIT: Typo in the title - but I guess you already figured that out
You will have to root and use viper4android mate really works a treat on all outputs. Works on the inbuilt speakers, headphones and Bluetooth each can be turned on and adjusted independently so don't have to have all on if you don't want. You can keep stock image if you want or try bindroids mega blast rom which has it preinstalled and runs a lot faster and smoother than stock does but still keeping the same look and feel.
You could use a small battery powered external microphone amp

Sometimes the solution can be so easy.
I did not know that there are small headphone amps available, but I bought one now and it solved my issues. The volume is now loud enough.

Thanks! If I will root my device one day, I'll give it definitely a try. I just wanted to avoid rooting in the first 6 months because of warranty issues, but for the moment I have a good intermediate solution.
Yes, change in system/etc/default_gain.conf.
:good:
Hi Folks,
I would appreciate your help please. I'm trying to get V4A to work with Poweramp without success. I've scoured XDA and the internet for solutions.
I'm rooted running stock with Art. Has anyone running Art been able to get this combo to work? If so please help!
Thank you!
I've managed to get it to work except I have to manually turn off Poweramp's eq everytime I plug in my headphone jack or switch to BT. Anyone know how to permanently turn off Poweramp's eq? Thanks!
P.s problem solved!
I managed to turn off the pa eq! It came to me in a eureka moment as I awoke this morning. You have to unassign each preset that you have set for headphones, speaker or Bluetooth. So make sure non are showing and eq will stay off!
The combination of PA with V4A is stunning!
Unassign the presents in Poweramp or V4A?

Get SElinuxchanger if your rom is set to enforcing, set it to permissive and you have to run V4A in compatibility mode - that way it works for me, however the sound quality is MAYBE not so good in this mode, in normal mode I get better sound quality I think
Same Problem
Hey guys, for the last few weeks Viper4android worked fine on my poweramp, however suddenly the processing status was set to "no".
I did all the necessary steps to enable V4A,like disabling equalizer,direct volume control etc. , so I don't know what the problem could be. V4 A does work on other music players though. But still as I prefer it to work on my Poweramp, please help me if possible to find a solution.
I have Nexus 4 running Lollipop 5.1.1. Build number LMY47V - last updated 21/3/2015.
I receive latest updates O.T.A . with no problems. I find sound levels for ringtones, notifications etc are fine but video sound is much to low. The system settings are set at maximum and I have tried quite a number of apps from Playstore without success.
I would prefer not to root the phone as I am receiving system updates promptly and I am aware that the Speaker is rear facing and this does not assist speaker output.
Any help appreciated.
Get MX Player and switch to SW decoding. After that you can get 200% volume.
Speaker Sound Volume - to low for videos
Thank you for your reply. I downloaded MX Player and set it to SW Decoding. I remember I used to have this app on my Galaxy S1 phone.
There is a slight improvement in volume output but certainly not 200%. The location of the speaker is probably the problem with this phone,
Possibly rooting the phone is the only real answer but if I did this would I get system updates in future ?
Thank You

You can easily go back to stock whenever you want a systen update. You dont need to be worried about being not able to get updates and moreover Nexus 4 will not be getting any major updates for sure except for those promised monthly security fixes which will be of very little to negligible use for us. Cheers!
I have the Sony MDR-XB950N1 and they sound awesome on an iphone and ipad. But they sound like crap on my android device. I've tried both NucleaROM 7.2.1 and Bliss 6.4, and the sound is too low on both ROMs. Kernel Auditor's sound setting doesn't help at all. I would like to stay away from Viper4Android. I don't need to enhance the sound. I need to be able to adjust the gain or amplify the sound.
I don't get android at all as this has happened to some Bluetooth headphone I've used in the past. But for a USD$300.00 pair otf over-the-ear headphones, this should not happen! It sounds like a pair of headphones you buy at your local 7-eleven. Maybe I should go back to the official firmware?
Interestingly.. i installed CM13 6.01 (Dec 2016) and BT volume is 100x better than the ROMs I mentioned above. This is without the kernel auditor sound mod. I DON'T GET IT.. But at least my earlobes, eardrums, and headphone are vibrating at max volume again. I still would like a solution for Nougat ROM.

You can have a look at here https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/themes-apps/apps-to-gain-microphone-volume-t3450390 it's not only for microphone problems
Yea enabling volume level works great with my daily driver, NulceaROM 7.1.x. Thanks for the heads up! Its on par with CM13 and iDevices. I'm not convinced that this issue only happens to our device. I used to have a MI phone and BT volume with nougat was abysmal also.
Proper etiquette aside (hint: don't use speakerphone while doing your "business" in a public bathroom), rate this thread to express how you think the Moto G Power's speakerphone performs. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it's loud and it's clear.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
i noticed on mine that the call clarity from my speaker isn't that great.
There is quite some noise.
any other people here that have that too? or is mine simply a bit busted?
Mine is fine (just got the phone this afternoon). When you say there is some noise, in what way?

i think i figured it out,
i had in-call volume maxed out, and then the speaker gives some background hissing ... don't know how to explain the sound itself...
i found out it was a software thing because in Skype for business the sound was very clear as expected

Well, it just happened to me 10 mins ago on a call I put on loudspeaker. SO, I'll try that tip. Wonder if the Dolby audio is also a potential

I've been testing a bit more with this,
i made a phonecall to a friend of mine, and indeed some crackling background noise witch seems to be generated when he speeks.
i made another call to him with max audio output from Skype for business, and the sound is really clear.
so i guess therefor that it has something to do with the audio settings of the phone app.
i don't have a clue on how to fix it, but just to clarify, i don't mean the loudspeaker , just the internal normal speaker.
I haven't tested it on loudspeaker
Ahh, I'm getting it when on loudspeaker, not when in call speaker. Interesting. Yes I do think it's the phone app that's the issue. Seeing as it's stock I wonder if it's a current bug.

due to some issues with installing viper4android i had to unpatch my bootimage to get my phone back working, and guess what, it works fine on the non rooted version....
so it apears it has something to do with
a: the patch
or
b: an interfering rooted app
I'm not rooted on mine so now I'm not sure what it could be heh.
I'm particularly satisfied with this Motorola Moto G8 Power but indeed, during calls, the sound from the internal speaker is quite poor quality. When my interlocutor speaks, his voice is not very clear, it sizzles at times...
Let's hope that an update will arrive soon!

after some time on the non-rooted version, i sadly have to conclude my problem is still there.
my previous assumption that the problem was because of rooting is off the table
These stereo speakers are awesome, so loud sound. I think, main reason you must buy this phone, is speakers
Speakers on this phone are amazing
Disable built in Moto Dolby., I use an APK called package disabler.
Install Viper4droid Legacy with updated V4A APK.
Install Dolby Atmos for Android Q (Via Magisk Modules)
Disable sellinux ..I use an APK called Adiutor Mod APK
Bam..adjust the sound to your liking
Absolutely ridiculous, best speaker i ever had in a smartphone
@jhjhjhjhjhjh was right about the speakers of Moto G8
I followed his tutorial and got the best sound out of my phone
I have attached screenshots and .apk for anyone who wants to give it a shot
I disabled Moto Audio with Package Disabler
I also installed ViPER4Android FX with apk then updated it from Magisk Manager, when you notice V4A restarts your phone, you need to install Audio Modification library, Busy box for Android NDK from the downloads by searching for them and that will solve the problem
Then you need to download Audio Configuration Database Module into your downloads folder and install it as a module then after you can install the Dolby Atmos module too
Then finally, using Kernel Adiutor-Mod app, you go to MISC controls and change Current SELinux status to Permissive and check apply on boot
Enjoy

Hi sir, are you in stock firmware? If yes, do you have a problem with top speaker when example: use voice chat in a game, or Meet? Me and a lot more of people its reporting the same audio issue on Lenovo forum: the phone sounds like under water and only from bottom speaker and just will be fixed rebooting. The last answer from lenovo team was could be a hardware issue, but i think its software issue, cause only happens when using the microphone in some apps.
Is the speakerphone call problems still an issue with the Moto G Power? From what I have been reading, it is likely a software problem (other than the fact that that one of the speakers is right next to the mic), and maybe has been updated away.
