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.

Since i have a few iPod speakers dock i was wondering if the Samsung Galaxy Note has a true line out that would allow me to plug them to iPod speakers dock in a serious way (No the lousy headphone out to speaker aux in that lead to double amplification degrading sound quality).
And talking about line out. Did anybody try to amp the Note?
I'd as well like to have some info on that. This would really help, if there is ACTUAL line out with the note.
This accessory would really make sense then:

This phone has the absolute worst headphone output. It is SO low. Plugging the device into my car through an auxiliary port is horrible. I can't believe Samsung makes the headphone output so incredibly low on a flagship device. How can they get away with this? It's almost half of the iPhone 5S?
Care to explain a little more in detail? Why 'slow'? Do you mean the sound quality coming through the headphone jack of the headphone jack itself?
I am simply referring to the fact that when you plug in a pair of headphones the output volume is extremely low, compared to the HTC M9, or iPhone. I have tried several headphones and even plugged a pair into a demo unit at best buy. Turn up the volume all the way and it's simply not loud enough. Plug the same pair of headphones into an iPhone or HTC One M9 and the volume output is much louder. I do not understand how Samsung can get away with making the volume so loud. Defeats the purpose of having the phone play music.
Now I have used many many Galaxy smartphones, and while I have complained of this issue before, the S6 by far as the absolute lowest volume. Wouldn't be an issue if a volume mod could be flashed. But we need the boot loader unlocked first.
That's weird, maybe since it's a demo unit, my gs6 gets uncomfortably loud and it's almost on pair with my ipad.

To each their own with sound, I guess. It was enough for me to return the phone.
So this can't just be bothering me.
Once you plug it in, make sure to turn the volume up on the phone. By default, the headphone jack is set very low so you dont blow the external speakers.
Also, try a headset and see if its still low for you. If it is, then its a bad port... if it isnt, then something is up with your aux port or car unit.

I have tried many headphones. It gets loud, but nothing like the iPhone. Very difficult to hear your music in the gym. Samsung should not make the headphone volume this low. It's beyond frustrating for us audiophiles. FWIW, I don't think my phone is defective, I just think its me. Either way, I returned it.

I can understand where you're coming from. I was quite frustrated at first until I started playing with the equalizer and adapt sound. Now it's much better. I've plugged my headphones into the iPhone and while it does get louder it also gets more distoreted.
Have you gone into settings / sounds / sound quality and effects.
The tinkered around with the SoundAlive+ & Tube Amp? Also try using adapt sound to really tailor your sound.
Maybe one of those needs to be enabled to increase the output of the volume, not sure..
There's a post in general secton to increase the volume of the phone. It requires root tbough so be aware.

Dude seriously,, Thank you. I thought i have started having issues with my hearing. The output is so low that when in the subway, there is no way for me to hear my music. Only when i rotate the earpeace in an unusuall position, i am able to hear what i am actually listening to. The worst thing is that it seems to be recognized by u and me only... I don't know what to do and i for sure don't want an iphone..
Yep, ridiculously low volume output from the headphone jack. Compared to an LG G4 on the same speaker set to the same volume level, the S6 output is almost inaudible over background noise in the kitchen. Only way to get any usably loud audio from it is Bluetooth, which has its own set of problems with this phone.
Yes the sound from ear phones is too low. With my previous I9070 my ears used to bleed at 3 with Poweramp but now ven with the Volume turned upto 5 I can barely hear them..!

Well, i had same problem but when i did the adapt sound tune, i did it at home without surrounding noises and heard all the beeps.. I redid it while on the train and heard aboit 30 % of the beeps and now i have a loud volume also disablwd the effects..
My headphones were also not working well. I thought to try some other brands. I searched alot but all were very expensive. Then my gym trainer suggested me to look for SoundMAGIC. I got affordable audiophile headphones online at exclussive offer. The sound is fantastic. I am very happy with it now.
Picked these up on Amazon for £70, main reason was level app gives all the function and tuning sound to suit plus the two speaker per earpiece design.
Cut to the chase stunning sound. I am picky with around 10 pairs of headphones ranging from Sony, Beats to AT. Also an ex audiophile coming from full on active Naim Audio system. Reason for mentioning that was the way Naim exerts grip, control, detail and ease rarely phased.
This sums up the headphones, never experienced this sort of deep controlled taut bass on headphones coupled with a clear midrange- normally one ruins the other.
The sound level when you attach the right size buds is shockingly loud - at max phone and headset zero distortion.
Plus you get all the notifications and crap s voice. Can take calls not tried says has two microphones.
Negatives, neck surround it very hard and stiff, ear buds do not totally seal and on my set BT occasionally disconnects but worst of all an ongoing BT skip every 15 - 30 seconds.
Hope I can solve the connectivity as even my cheap mpow have zero BT issues.
All that said an awesome headset.
Update: Reset the level U and unpaired, then repaired - all sorted NO BT connectivity issues, also have my Gear S2 and Car BT connected this morning.
Wore it to work, forgot I had it on as it was just hanging on my shoulders, realised when it vibrated (notifications).
Tried a few call, very good, I prefer to use it with 1 earpiece, mic quality (has 2) seems very good to the other party.
What about battery life?
Not really timed it but on a full charge 6 days ago have had 5hrs use in the app still shows more than half.

Hi
I have the samsumg level u pro anc . In my opinion i can say the sound is not the best
is normal like any other device .The anc version sorry to say this but it's garbage and the Uhd I don't see a big difference when is on or off . I had many bluetooth headsets and i can say for my the best bt headset was the motorola s9 a real HD sound after that the s10 and s11 they didn't have a sweet sound
btw. I have stuttering too I don't know if it's the headset or the samsung s7 .
I hope samsung gives a fix for this.

Bought this unit today and paired with Axon 7 Mini and instantly hated the sound and volume level.....of course i was driving away from the store and just had to try it. I immediately put the headset on my center console in my car and left it till i finished up my other activities and didn't touch it till i got home and downloaded the Level app from the play store. Pulled up reviews on amazon,and Headfi and saw people raving about the sound quality,put my laptop down and started going through my settings on the phone players(Neutron,Poweramp beta,and built in ZTE hi res player)......then setup Samsung Level app and changed the silicone tips to a set that fit my ears perfectly and then .....DAMN ! These things DO sound amazing. The quality of the drivers is beyond what i expected and the volume is just perfect....I love to crank it up,but my ears have been damaged through playing in live bands and crazy loud car stereos,and the volume was loud but not painfully so....These are keepers and sound great with the Dolby Atmos turned on. My two cents .....great deal when you find these now for $39.99
Just got my OP3T yesterday, and absolutely love it...EXCEPT that when I listen to music on (wired) headphones the volume does not go very loud. Even when I turn it up to the highest setting, just not that loud. And the headphones are plugged in all the way, they work with other phones, etc., etc. Anyone else having this issue?
You gotta plug it in properly, that was the issue with mine. It almost requires an unreasonable amount of force to plug it in or plug it out.
I use wireless bt headphone, and the sound is pretty loud, compare with the droid turbo, will try the wired headphone later

No problem with mine, turning it up more than halfway is way too loud. Best sound I've ever had from a phone.

What's is the impedance of your headphones? The higher the impedance the lower the volume, usually higher end/better quality use high impedance 32 ohm's+. My Sony's are 32 and are reasonable but still use my Fiio A1 for some extra umph! Might get the Fiio k1 and see what USB audio is like and get another pair of AKG's as they are my favourite sound signature.

The impedance is 16, so that shouldn't be the issue.

Weird why not invest in a Fiio A1 or USB variant K1, I'm thinking of jumping on the USB audio to see how it is. I know that "it's not the point" but a worthwhile purchase if you enjoy music.
Mine is plenty loud. Used my Xiaomi Piston 3's all day with it.
Higher impedance means more control over your volume because you're basically forced to use an external amp/dac, doesn't necessarily mean better quality.
Same issue, loudest volume is about right for me, still, does not go as loud as my Nexus 5 did.
More than loud enough at 65% volume with my Audio Technica and Shure headphones. I ended up lowering the max volume with custom kernel.
You can always try the "Increased Headset Volume"-magisk module if you want louder headset volume.
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/
