[Q] Low volume when using headphones on Galaxy Tab

Hi all - has anyone else had issues with the volume when using a headset being way too low? I've tried the headset that come bundled, as well as my iPhone earbuds as well as 3 other pairs and they all sound substantially lower in volume than on my iPhone or Samsung Wave. I've made sure that the media/system/etc volume(s) are all at 100%, yet I can hardly hear a movie play back when on the train but have no issues when using my iPhone, Wave, or even sandisk clip mp3 player...
thoughts?

I had this issue and it drove me crazy. Then I realized that I had to push the headphone jack in harder to go all the way in. Once I did that, the volume was outstanding. I had to push harder than I expected.

I also noticed lower max headphone volume when compared against a similar product. Hopefully a patch will take care of this. I'm using a BT motorola s9.

I noticed that too actually - at first I realized I could push it in more ever so slightly (more effort to do so than I would've' thought), but unfortunately that didn't change anything :-\

ah, so you're having the issue w/a bluetooth headset too? I've just been able to try wired headsets/phones

Same issue here, fully plugged in.
Most noticable in-call with CSipSimple.
Anyone not having this issue?

I had a similar issue with volume set to max. I realized that if you reduce the volume and then increase it again up to max everything is fine.

Volume too low
I have the same problem. I spoke with Samsung support and was told that they know of no way to increase the volume.
Go figure...
Anyone figure this out yet? Or is the Tab too new to receive enough attention?

Simply go to settings, equalizer, custom, set all frequencies to max... enjoy the extra volume

Actually, you click the volume up to the max, then click down two clicks. Many modems have this bug.

Hi guys, I need help about this issue. Samsung stock headphones are well set into the hole and i can hear during a phone call but it is really really low. And no matter if you push it down strongly it just doesn't improve. It is a bit better with media. Tried some Sony Ericsson phones, a bit better bust still very low. Mic works fine in both cases. Help me please, because I can't make decent phone calls.

Anybody having this issue? I am stuck with headphones. They work almost fine when watching media content. The volume during a phone call is almost impossible to hear even with no background noise.I have tried different headphones but it's not helping. I still have to make a test using bluetooth. Is it a hardware issue or a software issue? I have a stock rom (Model: GT-P1000, FW: 2.2, BB: P1000XXJK5, Build: FROYO.XWJJ7). Do you think I can solve the issue upgrading to Gingerbread?

Voodoo Control
Hi everybody!
Did you try the market app 'Voodoo Control'? Nice one to maximise volume, but this requires a custom kernel implementing voodoo patches, I assume.

I had this problem too, but with the newest version of the Overcome ROM on gingerbread voodoo control is built into the kernel which allows you to increase the maximum volume of headphone output by using the voodoo control app.
Hope this helps!

You are mainly saying that the only way to use my tab as a phone is by installing a custom ROM? Upgrading to 2.3 stock ROM would not fix the issue I assume.

Most probably its a software error. Try wiping cache partition.
Go to theinforoom blog there is a solution there.

[Q] - Maximum Audio Output?

Hey guys,
As a fan of music and having used Bluetooth headphones, corded ear phones and the phones speaker all for playing music, i find the audio output on this phone somewhat a little too quiet for my liking. After a long search, i found a way to increase the maximum volume output.
By typing in the following: *#*#197328640#*#*
Then selecting [5] then choosing either Headset (headphones), Speaker or Bluetooth.... Then selecting volume... and increasing the RX/TX volume values.
Problem i am having. Once i restart the phone, these values reset back to their defaults...SO, my question is: Is there a way to keep the values i set in each of the volume settings... it kinda doesnt make any sense for these settings to be here if they just reset after each restart...
Thanks in advance,

Audio boost app

Galaxy Ace In call volume

Hey all
Been looking for at least a couple of weeks how to boost the incall volume especially on the hands free speaker of the samsung galaxy ace.
Finally figured it out and thought to share it here just in case people are trying to do the same!
on CM7 7.2.0 RC3 here so not sure if it works on other ROMs.
on the service menu (accessed with *#*#197328640#*#*)
For incall volume boost on headset:
[5]Audio
[1]Handset
[2]Rx Value
[1]Rx Codec/Volume
[1]Rx Codec Gain - click on this and input FFFF which is 12db. (I guess you can try different settings-but this worked for me)
For incall volume boost on the speaker (which bugged me for a while )
[5]Audio
[3]Speaker
[7]MP3/Not Mp3 Mode (so that on top of menu says Mp3 Speaker)
[2]Rx Value
[1]Rx Codec/Volume
[1]Rx Codec Gain - click on this and input FFFF which is 12db.
I can hear the other person on the phone now when im driving and I have em on speaker, maybe you can get it even louder, but Im a bit worried ill fry the speaker!
Im an android virgin so cant help any1 any further just thought to post this for people having the same issue with me! try this at your own risk!!

Finally thanks
Now i can hear people

why won't you just install volume +? it's much easier and safer.. just a thought tho..

i did try the volume +
it seemed to only boost the music player volume.
the incall setting function didnt do anything

Works well!!
Can i also increase the Headset MP3 value so that my music through Headphones is louder?? I'm not trying it because i don't know if it will cause any harm..

ill try this thanks

the speaker volume doesnt seem to be much louder. it worked well for the handset and headset.
Any ideas?

[Q] Speaker is incredibly quiet, any fix?

I noticed the very low speaker volume since the first day I got it, the speaker volume is so low that I can only hear it on the maximum volume. This cannot be right. The latest upgrade (2A1.136) made the volume even lower.
Is there a software fix ?

read the forums, there is a fix in the development sections. flashable zip.

I've encountered this error too. I'm using musixmatch, in musixmatch the volume is so low. After try with Walkman app, the volume is getting louder. Back to musixmatch, the volume is fix now. I think there is a relation between Walkman and Sound. IDK. Just try, perhaps it's woks for you.

Coming from the HTC One i noticed that the audio wasn't great, but a few mods in and it's acceptable, still nowhere near as good as the HTC but definitely better.

Low sound volume on call

Hey guys,
The sound while talking on the phone is extremely low (and no, i am not going deaf) it is on maximum at all times, but i can still find it hard sometimes to hear what a person is trying to tell me My work phone's sound bar is always 3/10 on volume, because i got used to low volume
Is there any way of making it louder? Obviously my warranty is voided, but as far as i remember the low call sound started with the 20B update (i am now on 4.4.2 Beanstalk+iodak).
Thanks!

Try turning the volume down and then up again. Not a fix, but an easy workaround
