[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] Loudness Patch?

Hi,
GNote's speaker volume is okay but not loud enough for me. Is there a patch that I could flash to increase the volume everywhere (ringtons, songs etc..) like there is one for Galaxy Nexus?
Thanks

You can try flashing an equalizer like Awesome Beats (search the forum for it). It will for sure improve the quality of the sound output, but not the volume itself. Try it and see if it's enough. If it isn't, you can try flashing a different ROM, specially non-Samsung ones (e.g. CM9, CM10 etc.), because since they probably use different sound drivers, there could be a difference (if it will be better or worse, I don't know, and it may be overkill to flash a new ROM just for it). Other option would be to use an external speaker, there are many models available.

Anything that "improves" the sound will most likely reduce the volume than increase, I suppose.
CM10? Its a nightly and I'm a bit reluctant to use something thats not stable yet.
External speaker at all times? I mainly need it for the ringtone.

Is There Any Way To Turn Down Speakers Below Minimum Volume?

The speakers are way too loud even on lowest volume when I am alone in my room. I don't need the speaker to be blasting at me when im playing Angry Birds or something. Anything I can do about that?
Update: Trying out an app called Fine Volume Control 2. It was the only thing I could find that did what I want, unfortunately, it seems extremely inconsistent and buggy.
Update 2: Uninstalled Fine Volume Control 2, wayyy too inconsistent and buggy. Still looking for any suggestions.

try volume control apps, like volume control +

Having the same problem. Feels a bit loud at the lowest volume
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium HD app

I cant guarantee this works as I am STILL waiting for my HTC One to arrive here in Australia but when I had my aweful Galaxy Nexus I used a app called Volume+ to turn the volume up as it was so low you couldn't hear it ring. I remember the app also allowed you to turn the volume down. Worth a try.

Volume+ doesn't work for JB so useless for me.
Volume Control+ seems to be just an app with all the volume control sliders in one place which is useless.

There's a update to fix the volume to make it lower don't know if it's out yet it is if you got a custom rom

Ugh... I wished they'd release their fixes already. There is this volume thing and also the 3 dot menu thing.

Bump. Still looking for a solution.

I remember reading about the Music Volume EQ app (on, I believe, Phandroid?) and people said they had some luck with messing with the equalizer settings on this app to turn the volume down for the One. Haven't tried it for myself though.

Yes, if you use the Music Volume EQ app and turn all the equalizer settings down to -15 and the volume down to 1, the speakers are much more quiet!

Yep, using Music Volume EQ for now. Still not as good as having a integrated option, but can live with it for now.

They should of made a slider volume instead of in steps!

[Q] Is there anyway to boost the volume?

So i have been googling for hours trying to find a way to boost the volume on my s3 mini but so far no luck, i'm starting to think it's impossible but thinking this is a android phone there must be a way. Has anyone successfully managed to boost volume on your device?

Exactly what I was/am and will continue to search for until I find it I recently installed Viper4android for clearer audio, but I noticed that it also boosts the volume a bit (I think). Try it out. If it doesn't boost the volume, well, you're gonna have a better sounding phone, at least

There's a video player that can boost your volume while using it (VM Player i think), so it should be possible

Yeah V4A is a brilliant piece of software. It does boost the volume slightly making it more clearer and brighter but i'm still left wanting more. This is really annoying and i can't understand why google/samsung would do such a thing removing the ability to use the product just the way you want. I guess it's result of the bloody EU Volume limit that is beyond stupid imo.

Poweramp = best music player ever
You can also try setting PowerAmp to Phone Speaker (Loud) equalizer and enabling V4A. That way you'll get clearer, but at the same time louder volume.

Dear Whiz91
Use Volume+ 1.9.0.5 on rooted phone. It's improve the volume highly.

In Cyanogenmod (and it's goes the same for any custom rom I guess) you have that volume limit removed, you get just a warning when you pull the volume beyond that limit. Anyways, I found useful to boost the whole equalizer spectrum to +6db on a custom profile to enhance the volume.

I tried that and it only turns the volume down, guess it's the volume limit on my stock phone.

I used to run Maclaws CM 11 but that is just too buggy, but i have come to understand that 10.2 is fairly stable so i will try that rom

Tried CM and Volume+. CM does NOT remove the volume limit and Volume+ just makes the sound quality into a muddy mess and not really louder. It seems like the battle is lost. ****ing EU rules and regulations...

Still +1ing V4A and PowerAmp

[Q] Volume App for N6

I got a lot of good suggestions in my weather app app post.
Let's hear your thought on Volume apps ... ones that work well with Lollipop ... have new material design.
Thanks for your input

Not sure what volume app means. For better sound viper4android is the bomb. Havnt had it work right yet for this phone but I've seen other who have.

I have used viper prior for the nice boost.
What I need is app for controlling All the Volume levels as built in sound controls always leave something to be desired.

I've always used AudioManager, it continues to serve me well on lollipop. I mostly use it for volume profiles.

I really want something for the volume via Bluetooth. it's really low I can't stand it anymore

I remember an app named volume+ that worked well to higher the volume of the phone but not sure if it still works. I hope they come up with a flashable zip to boost the volume. My headphone volume is really low.
