The speakerphone volume on my Tilt is really low. I was wondering if someone could point me to a hack or settings-change to increase it ... I am using Dutty's Apr 1 release...
Thanks..

This could be radio related. Which radio are you using? With the one in my signature, the audio output is quite high.
There is a cab file for it called SRS_WOWHD_ARM.cab. Follow this link below:

You didn't put it in oil did you? I hear that kills the Speakers.
lol Jimmy i think me and you are trailing each other around on the forum today
is there anyway to make the volume of the speaker lounder?
I used to use my hTC Pure to play music while I was skating but the Captivate is too quiet. is there anyway to increase the volume of the speakers?

I won't necessarily say to search through whole. But since Vibrant and Captivate are more or less from the same family Galaxy S, sometimes what applies there would apply here too.
Edit:
Also, the speaker and headset volume are slightly low on some custom ROMs compared to stock ROMs. Like I am on "di11igaf's Rom v2.5". ROM is amazing but the volume levels are slightly lower than stock. Check to see if this is the case, in case u r on custom ROM.
I thought Boom Sound was supposed to be mini speaker loud? I notice the Beats Audio logo but my volume hasn't been spectacular. Is there a setting I'm missing, perhaps?
The example of use:
This morning, the new Man Of Steel trailer dropped and I was attempting to show off to my co-worker but it just wasn't very audible. Only air conditioning was blowing so we were pretty disappointed. You Tube streamed the trailer fine it just wasn't loud. We tried my Play Music and it wasn't loud either.
The HTC One is firmly in the VERY LOUD category.
Too loud in many instances. Have you, like, turned all volume controls up in settings?

It's the loudest smartphone speaker, either your phone is defective or your volume controls weren't all the way up.

I agree with you 100 percent we had an iPhone fanboy I was trying to showed off also and he wasn't impress ...I started another thread you can search for it and people are saying the htc capped the volume on 1.29 update and the 1.27 firmware is the loudest ...ofcourse say that to the htc one fanboy lol ...it amaze me there are dumb people can't understand what you are saying ..oh well you correct tho there are some of us that knownabout these issues on the htc one. ...by the way don't let me get started in the in call speaker volume ..not loud at all... Perhaps we need to flash 1.27..I bought this phone thinking it will blow me away on the volume dept guess not lol

I was wondering the same thing. I have not been blown away by the speakers on this phone. I got the 1.29 update almost immediately after the first boot so there is no way for me to know what it was like before that. Have you managed to find a workaround or a way to go back or enable the full volume of the speakers???
I'm not saying this is the case for everyone, but for me at least my volume and sound quality were both excellent with 1.27 and 1.29. I often put my phone down while playing music and it fills the room. It's still miles better than my friends s4 and zl. I have to think though that even if some are having volume issues (perhaps the notorious QC issues don't just apply to the build quality), at least you're still gaining the huge advantage of stereo vs mono sound

Someplace, and I forget which forum this was in, a guy found the values needed in order to revert the sound back to as loud as before the HTC update. It was in either Faux123s kernel thread, the ARHD thread, or, Trickdroids thread. I'd advise scanning those. The only thing I remember about the post was it said change the values from 40/40 to 45/45 instead of 60/60 like some guy asked if he could do.
Or maybe that video just had very low volume anyway? Youtube video volumes are NOT normalized and if the vid was soft to being with, Youtube will just stick with that max volume. Nothing you can do with it.
Boomsound is advertised to not only be loud, but to be full as well without the screeching highs and nonexistent lows of other devices.
I've seen a couple zips around the forum for BoomSound I havnt tried them yet but I'll see if I can find em and post them here
http://db.tt/ro9I8C1Y BoomSound zip
http://db.tt/XvIHQ5UK improved BoomSound zip
I would backup before trying these so you can restore if it has negative affects or if you want to try both.the improved BoomSound is a little smaller than the first file
I don't remember where i downloaded these from but I think it was arhd forum.
I did not make these mods and take no responibility if anything happens to your phone I just posted here for convenience

doesn't make any difference flashing either one over 4.2.2
The zips contain /system/tfa folder from 1.27.xx builds which were based on 4.1.x hence it reverts to same sound on future 1.29.xx builds when flashed
However, in 4.2.2 these files are different and since we do not have any LOUD firmware from 4.2.2 nothing to replace ...we are stuck with what htc gives

Yeah kinda sucks... Miss my old boomsound volume
Played same YouTube video with my unrooted One and friend's unrooted S4. Louder on S4 even with mine on full volume and front facing speakers. Audio files aren't particularly loud either. Still on 4.1.2. Expecting a little more boom.

headphones is definetly louder
unsure about normal speakers as im in a quiet room by myself, so im not sure if its a real boost or placebo effect, everything does seem louder though
so anyway how to make 30 step volume slider, im using ART and xposed is not supported atm.
It's a pretty common fact now that compared to most other smart phones, the Droid Turbo volume just does not get very loud, in fact it's rather quiet. I'm not looking to blow out my ears, but I'd like to be able to comfortably hear who I'm speaking with on the phone (w/o distortion), and having sufficient (it's at least a few notches lower than my previous iphone 5s) volume through the headphones is absolutely essential for me as the music player is the most important part of the phone for me, aside from call/text. How do I increase the volume? I believe it can be found in the build script, but it seems a little more in-depth than other phones. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

My wife called me the other day. She was so loud that I was able to put it on my lap and both me and my daughter could hear her. I didn't even have to use the speaker phone.
Anyone else?
When there is any sort of natural noise from outside or out in the public, it is noticeably quieter than any smartphone I've had, other than the 2013 moto x, so it seems to be a modern Motorola thing. I know this is an easy fix for someone who is informed. Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.
Can anyone help me please?

Nobody has an answer because there is no fix. Root is needed to modify volumes past stock.
Turn off audio effects for headphone. Place speaker grille (not glass) at the middle of your ear when talking. Use custom ringtones for increased volume if the stock ones aren't loud enough.
I personally find it all to be plenty loud.

Could it be the call privacy settings?
Phone -> Settings -> Voice Privacy (mine is set to off)
Settings -> Sound -> Audio Effects (should be off)
I personally think that the phone is too quiet as well.. Definitely doesn't pass the shower test. I should be able to hear my phone playing music over the sound of the shower and the bathroom fan at the same time - I can't.
I went through multiple replacements for this issue. Evidently, the new unit I received (assembled 12/15/14) does not exhibit a volume problem. I think there is an issue with many of the units out in the wild, but it is unclear if there will be/can be a software fix without root. For those with defective devices, no amount of settings changes to the stock software seem to work. I would contact Verizon wile you have the opportunity to do so. Keep in mind, however, that you are opening a can of worms. It might take a few replacements to get one with better volume.

Voice Privacy lowers volume? Mine was checked...
I really noticed the low volume of this phone and I made a patch to make it higher, it only works for Moto maxx at the moment, but I'm pretty sure it can be achieved in droid turbo via android sdk adb commands I need to keep reading about it.
Could to share the patch?

Negatory. that is a proprietary setup and adb, well it isn't.
So it is correct that nothing can be done until we achieve root?
