When using the Car Dock, the volume and quality of the sound coming off the 3.5mm is significantly dropped. Is this something a rooted ROM can get around?

I have a google car dock for my nexus one and I hook the audio through the car stereo with a 3.5mm audio cable. When it is plugged into the dock the sound is very low and the quality is terrible. If I just pull it out of the dock everything is back to normal -- this happens with all apps.
What do I have to do in order to prevent the phone from doing this while docked?
you have the exact same setup as i do and ive seen this as well, i think there is something that makes the audio play at a different volume specifically for when it is docked for some reason. im on cm6.1.1 and it seems a little better because i believe they tweaked something with it, i saw a checkin on cmsrc on twitter that modified some line with dock volume.
what ive found is if i set the media volume to about 5/8 or 7/8 then dock it the volume will make its "dock adjustment" and its up to where my car volume is from there, usually a little less distortion if the phones volume is a little lower than max. from there if i forget to set the media volume i will use the preamp slider in the poweramp music players equalizer to adjust.
i just wish the volume wouldnt change at all and the volume button on the side of the dock would change the media volume :\
side note: have you noticed that the voice search when docked doesnt pick up your voice very well? almost like the noise canceling mic is cancelling you out or something and other times it can pick up your voice great?
Actually the sound volume was solved by some user that re-compiled libaudio with the code that lowers the sound by 10db commented out. The problem I have is that the sound quality is so poor that it seems to be mono without bass.
It turns out that the crappy audio quality comes from Bluetooth being on. When I disable Bluetooth in car mode, everything is great. Unfortunately I can't figure how to make it disabled by default so I have to disable it everytime.

I mainly use my headphone jack on my Streak 7 as a line-out for listening to music in my car. The jack has very low max volume compared to my iPhone and iPad.
I was just wondering if anyone knew of any system file mods that would allow a higher max volume out of the headphone jack, or set it to optimal line-out volume?
Something similar to Voodoo sound on the Samsung android devices would be awesome.

Why would you want to send max output to a sound system? You should let your car amp drive the sound to your speaker. Sending a max out signal will not give you the best sound.

I know this, but the max sound of the dell streak 7 is no where near optimal line out volume for a good sound system. I plug my iphone or ipad in via line out by the dock connector and it is like a night and day difference. Same thing with my Samsung Infuse, way louder line out via the car dock then the Streak 7 headphone jack.
I have a high end sound system in my car that I went crazy on back when I worked for circuit city years ago and you can notice every little difference in sound quality. I have polk audio SR series speakers (which sound awesome btw) and the streak 7 muffles the sound quality.

The muffling you are talking about I believe is due to the eq/sound quality the S7 is able to deliver. It isn't that terrible, but my Samsung Exhibit 4g sounds way better and also has a better software music player and a decent built in eq - and the volume gets much louder.
You say muffle, I say "not a full sound". I would stick to the Samsung from my own experience.
I'm getting really low volume through the aux on my car with the moto x. is there a way to boost the volume? With headphones it doesn't soudn quiet but in the car it's really low.
is there a good equalizer or something to help boost it?
Is there any way to boost the overall volume coming from the headphone jack? When I plug it into my car via the 3.5mm jack, I feel the volume is a little on the low side.
Even though this phone has a 3.5 mm headphone jack, the audio output via the jack is terrible.
I have tested 3-4 different earphones as well as gaming headphones but still I'm disappointed.
Even on the loudest volume, the audio seems a bit on the low side.
Any solution for this ? or any workaround ?
Have you tried to push the hj all the way in?

Yes. Earphone fits perfectly in the jack. I said that the volume is low because I compared it with my cheap old phones. And the hj audio o/p was way better than nokia 7 plus.
It might be high volume warning. You don't see this popup if your screen is off and volume stays at the same low level. https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-automatically-disable-the-high-volume-warning-without-root/
