it is on but every video have low volume

Yeah, a software pre-amp volume boost would be great.
It's not just Youtube.
I listen to a lot of podcasts that are nearly inaudible on my N1 without headphones.

This would be pretty sweet. I use the audio jack to connect to my car to play over the radio since i dont have a fancy aux jack in my car radio. It is not nearly as loud as the normal radio. I cant drive w/ the windows down because i cant her the music at max volume.

What's the sound quality from the speaker like?

I currently have an XDA IIs and the sound through the speaker is kinda meh, I'm thinking of getting a Touch Pro which I assume will have the same speaker as the Diamond and I'm wondering if you who have one will give me the heads up.
What's the quality/dynamic range like?
Is it loud?
Does it distort too much at higher volume levels?
I know some may question what I can expect from a phone speaker, lol, but there can be differences.
Thanks.
Not good. The sound is thin, so as the phone.
That was honest and helpful.
Thanks.

the sound from mine is fine, works like a charm.
The external speaker is for voice, if you want it to play "decent" music get some headphones or plug it into a stereo.
Could you tell me which music player you are using??
I am using the default player in TouchFlo3D. Tried built in speaker, bundled headphone, and my own headphone with 35mm mini plug adapter...all sound like old AM radio. No bass and high pitch is a bit scratchy.
Bluetooth A2DP + my headphone is much better, though far from perfect.

Thanks walshieau. My problem with headphone is solved. It was due to buggy Audio Booster. More detail here:

Of course I agree with you that we can't expect too much from the built in speaker.
Sound from external speaker
I have Pocket Player for my TD and it has an equalizer built in that you can customize. I have the sound from my external speaker sounding very good, ( I think) with Bass. It doesnt rock my pocket...but...its much better than it was. I find it very acceptable.
not good for mp3 ringtone it like the speaker cant Handle it
the sound get crap when you turn up the volume

Of course. This is the answer
HastaSSSS
I come from a nokia 7710 (first real touch screen in the world) and that speaker was LOUD, the one on Diamond is kindo bad. Forget about bassss.
gbye.
Yeah, I think the problem is not just the quality, but the loudness too.
If you use this with a Sat nav program (e.g., TomTom), at the maximum volume the audio commands are not loud enough when driving and with the car's radio on
Anybody knows of any trick/tweak to modify the volume range on Diamond, even if it gets distorted, as I really just need loudness for sat nav directions.

Music Player

Hi, does anyone know whether there is/are a music player with equalizer capability, cause the 3,5mm jack will be useless for my Sennheisser headset..
i dont think there is one, im also on the lookout
No eq for android yet, its apparently a google thing. Im hoping the put one there in donut, cos the sound quality is not the best on my hero.
And I hope they fix the volume issue with the music player (Or maybe it's not specifically related to the music player). I have to have it set to max all the time. With my old Polaris, I had it at 2 (of 6 I think it was) to get approximately the same volume in the standard headphones. I really don't want to switch headphones, because I love to have the buttons there to control the music player and answer calls.
There is no way to raise the volume in some settings if I already have the "Media Volume" set to max, right?

Might be just your case, or low-volume mp3s?
My max-media-volume seems to just right. If I listen through headphones I have it set to 30% , 40% max.
On my Diamond I had it set to like step 1 of 9 or something. Anyway, volume at 50% on my Diamond was WAAAY too loud, and you could hear it distorting. So I had a feeling on my Diamond that 3/9 or 4/9 was actually around 0dB. Everything higher than that would distort the audio.
On my Hero max-media-volume through the 3,5mm jack seems to be around 0dB (as it should).

[Q] Headset sound quality

Hello Everyone,
I have a Moto Milestone. I would like to use Milestone as MP3 player. I plugged the original Milestone headset and the sound quality was awful. There was no sub bass at all!) From that time, I used my previous phone (Nokia N73) as MP3 player (it's sound is extremely good compare to Milestone.)
Today I got a Nokia headset with a voice call button on it. I plugged it to my Milestone and the sound was awful, BUT if I push the button on the Headset the sound of the Milestone become extremely beautiful, I hear sub basses and higher sounds too.
Can anyone has idea for this? Can someone tell me, how will such a good voice come from Milestone's original headset?
Thanks.
?
Hi There,
There is no one, who has this problem?
I just use DSP Manager and poweramp's EQ to adjust the audio. Now I get really good audio from it after massive tweaking.
Still not as good as my old Archos Gmini400.
Also I re-read your post and that thing with the headset button is weird as hell.
I just use fairly high end headphones. (AKG K518LE)

Thanks for the answer. But it is true. I use a Sony-Ericsson X10 mini's headset and if I push the button in the headset, the sound quality became as same as my Sennheiser HD435.
I'm thinking about short-circuited the headset's button ...

Audio Output on P990

The sound output from the speakers while playing any MP3
songs etc is pretty low. I could hardly hear the music, though
the sound quality thru the head phones is awesome.
(I use a Media player application called PowerAmp.)
Initially I thought that this low volume and quality is due
to hardware limitations..internal amp and the speakers
located at the bottom of the phone.
The other day I tried out a Game called "Jetcar Stunts" .
( This game has good built in sound effects )
Surprisingly, the sound level and quality was superb !
I couldn't imagine that the Phone could have this output level.
So its all linked to the SW now..which means there is hope
we can soon find a good media player for this Phone to
display its real power.
It is really a good phone.
PowerAMP amplify the speaker or u can use volume+
I tried that apk..but not much improvement.
I believe the Hardware is there to produce good quality
sound from the LG P990 speakers.
Bust somehow the SW is unable to make use of it.
But , that game 'JetCar Stunts' seems to have got over
this shortcoming.
Already disscussed before. Hope voodoo plus will add speaker add on soon. My ringtone are so high and of good quality. I don't understand why music is so low
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
just get cm7 with inbuilt dspmanager... that with the eq you can adjust the output

Weak Audio using Headphones

Hello guys,
I'm facing a problem that the audio is so weak or low using the headphones, I tried many headphones but nothing also I tried to fix the equalizer but nothing...
I don't know what to do with this problem however i tried these headphones with other mobile (iPhone 5s) the sound was really really cool.
Anyone is facing this problem?
Thanks in advance
No. Sometimes the sound gets made a lot quieter and you look at the screen and it's not saying anything, so you increase the volume and only then do you get a message about volume damaging your hearing you have to ok before actually increasing the sound.

I already did that and the sound level is full but still low in the headphones
There is effects settings for headphones turn it off and the sound will be good, but via inbuild speaker it will be weak then.

I already did that too but none..
And the music quality is 320kpps so what??
For me it changed the sound when i switched to normal or power saving mode the sound thru headphones changed to good quality.
This is weird, I don't think I have such issues

I do still I didn't notice, the I feel like the voice is kinda low when I use Spotify, but it works perfect with Poweramp, though I use FLAC
Can anybody tell me why sound level and quality is so low? Can't listen to my favourite music because it sounds like crap. I'm using BT headphones.

Is there any solution to boost your the audio?

Have you used decent headphones? I know people often use Bluetooth headphones but they are terrible (the protocol lossily encodes audio so even if you started with FLAC that's not what you'd end up with in your ears)? I listen exclusively to FLAC via both decent Sennheiser headphones and cheap Philips earbuds and they both sound great to me (via Rocket Player). So you have a problem but I don't think it's your choice of phone.

Ofc it is SBC but there is no problem with Redmi note 4. I checked it with iPhone 6 and still no problem. Then I tried old p9 lite and... same problem. So huawei/honor is still have problem with Bluetooth. (I remember old p8 lite and problems with WiFi speed while using bt speaker)
