Sound not loud enough

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?

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?

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?

No bluetooth will make no difference.

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.

[Q] Increasing louc speaker volume?

Hi,
Nexus 4's loud speaker volume isn't so high compared to other phones, as you guys already know. I know that there are apps that can increase the volume. But how far can i push it? I don't want to ruin my speaker. And yes, there is a mod that increases the volume of the nexus 4 , but unfortunately it doesn't work on xylon rom, which i'm using.
Thanks

I don't see any reason to push the speaker. The quality of the sound isn't normally great. By increasing the volume, quality will decrease even further.
Try increasing the volume with about 10%. That shouldn't damage anything.

I don't care about sound quality really, i just want to hear the song lol. And i dont know if 10% makes it better.

Well, more than that could blow up the speaker.

Please can someone check this?

Hi folks,
Just got my new G2 today. I noticed that when playing music sound is only coming from the bottom right speaker grille. If I cover this there's no sound. Can someone check theirs and confirm if this is normal? Is the left speaker grille just a dummy then? Thanks!

Same here and I have the AT&T variant. The right side is the only side that sound comes out of. I'm thinking the left 'speaker' is the Microphone. Just like on my iPhone 4 there were two speakers, but one of them was a Microphone and the other was the actual speaker.

i have the Verizon variant, i would assume they are the same. the sound only comes from one side mainly.

Thanks for that richiev. I suspected that was the case as it certainly seems loud enough and it would be odd to place stereo speakers so close together. Cheers for confirming it for me!

They all only have one speaker. Verizon chose not to give it the stealth look.

One strange thing I have found is if I'm playing music with media volume set to full, if I put ringer volume to silent it lowers the music volume, ,,, or is it just me?

Don't notice the volume lower but do noticed a slight click from the first music played.

That's interesting. The same thing happens here. I guess it's a bug of some kind.

Volume booster? Anyone?

The S5 (like all Samsungs) have really low volume output. It just is not that great of quality. Anyone have any idea or workaround on how to actually boost the volume output from the headphone jack?

Haven't noticed that, seems annoying. Did you try the volume booster apps at Google play?

Well coming from an iphone, the volume sucks. Yes I did, didn't make that great of a difference.

Did you remove all redundant earwax?

PowerAmp DVC not working??

On all the previous phones i had, DVC worked to increase volume (including the S6 edge i had), but on the S7 edge, it does the opposite it lowers the volume... anybody have similar problem?

I'm having the same issue, music plays very low compared to before.

Poweramp appears to have issues with our device. I switched on the advise of @BeefEater and now have fantastic audio using v4a too.

Do you think the sound quality degrades when it's turned off?

I've no idea. I don't use it anymore. It was too much for me. I've gone with a simpler music player now.
