[Q] Volume Reduction (Yes, reduction...) - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Morning all,
probably not an issue with most people, but often I want to watch some videos, or the highlights in the gallery and I find that the lowest volume is at too high a level.
Is there anyway of overall reducing the system output level without root and/or custom rom? Would appreciate any thoughts to help out
Thanks
Jonny

Turning off beats reduces the volume.

try downloading the equalizer app or any setting app that has the capability of adjusting the volume.

Agreed, the lowest volume is too loud. Will try some EQ apps, Btw is there a toggle for beats audio?

Yes, the toggle is in the top level in the settings, as in not in a sub menu. I did try to disable beats but to my ears it didn't make any difference, or at least not enough.
I thought that equalisers were tied to a particular player app, rather than system wide, but will see if I can find any.

I wasn't talking about the equalizer option of any music player What I mean was the app "Equalizer" from google play

[Q] Volume too loud

Quick question...
As the title suggests, my device's lowest volume setting is still too loud if I want to listen to something in the background or want to take a snooze. Is there a way to either add more volume levels or lower the value of the levels? I'm running JPK and it's rooted.
Cheers.
download and install this

it should work with the BETA froyo
Thanks, but I already have Sound Manager installed, which does the same thing as Audio Manager, but has a cleaner interface and more control options. The problem is that neither of them do what I want... the lowest volume is still too loud.
I need to somehow adjust the increment value in code or add more increments to give me finer control.
Did you ever receive an answer on your volume issue. I have a galaxy 4G with the same issue and no one has answers?
Use voodoo control app from market, it adjust the analog amplifier.

Yes voodoo would be the best for you its just amazing....install it and you will love it....it makes your phone to the best mp3-player you can buy for money
Yep, use a kernel with voodoo sound. Or buy Supercurio's app in the market and support his work. The app gives you the option to adjust the analog gain, if the volume is too loud all you have to do is lower the gain and problem solved

Mp3's have terrible sound, you should consider ripping/downloading your music in .flac .

[Q] change sound volume "range"

Hey Guys!
Is there a possibility to change the range for the volume?
So that I can make sound louder/quiter than it would be possible normally.
My IncS IS rooted, so I have permissions to change something!
There are a few apps for it in PlayStore, just search "volume"
I tried a bunch of them, all crap, except dspmanager found around here somewhere. I got a slight increase of the volume and bass and ****, but sadly nowhere near what I wanted.
Strange that it is so hard to tweak this feature on this phone, on my Sensation dsp nearly blasted my eardrums and the siyahkernel works miracle on my galaxy s3 gt-i9300 ...

Thx for the answers!
I know DSPManager and all the other apps already...
DSPManager is the best of them, in sound increasing and eq, bass, ..., but its effect isn't really big, when you want to increase volume very much, like Huppen said...
Would it be possible (and more or less easy ), to look in the CyanogenMod repo after DSPManager source and write a own small app? App developing itself isn't that hard and the only 'big' thing is the increasing/decreasing of sound over/under the limits...

[Q] Faux sound control

Is anybodu also using Faux Sound control?
Up to now I did not have problems with it but now I try to use it for
changing the left-right balance on the headphone speakers.
When using VLC or the built-in music player ypu do not seem to
have control over the balance, I know some other aps like Poweramp
do have this control but I do not like to add another app.
So then I remembered I'm already using the Faux sound control app.
Up to now I was using it for setting up a silent, loud or quality profile.
But with the custom profile you can change all the settings yourself.
So first of all I tried to change the analog g ain controls because I'm using the headphones with the audio jack but this did not help.
So then I changed the Digital gain controls, but when lowering the left or the right channel the result was that both of them went to the lowest volume.
In the sound control app they had a separate setting but in real life they took the lowest of both volumes.
I know I should ask this on Paul Reioux the creator of the app but I cannot find his email or support for his apps.

Walkman EQ setting

I just spent hours creating new playlists and transferred all music to Z1. I want to squeeze out best possible sound quality. Please share your EQ setting. I just started playing around with it and haven't found the right setting yet.
EQ Settings highly depend on the speakers/ headphones you use, because every setup is balanced differently.
Just play around with it, as far as audio goes there is no right or wrong, as long as you like the sound!
Hi, I'm an audiophile bro. I suggest you to just leave the eq off. Artists have spent so much time in the studio to create the perfect sound that they want you to hear.
It depends on your taste and music genre, I mostly listen to electronic dance music and setting the bass on 6+ makes that kind of music much better imo.
I'm using Poweramp pro but remember to turn off all the Walkman sound effects first as they sort of compile on top of each other making poweramp harder to setup
and leaving everything to default settings is fine if you are in a studio and using their sound equipment - the EQ setting can compensate for a poor set of earphones or if on a hifi system can alter setting to suit equipment and the room accustics - none of us will have a studio soundstage

ClearAudio+ and Dynamic normalize is the best for me.

Best EQ setting
Hi Sitti,
Squeezing out the best possible sound quality depends on the headphone you are using. If you have got a normal headphone, you need to play around with the EQ to get the best possible sound output. And, if you are using audiophile gear, you may not need to do any settings at all!
I will give you an example :-
I own a Sony Xperia M Dual. The default headphones which comes along with it are quite decent enough, with a dominant bass line. I am kind of an audiophile, I don't like too much bass. So, I have tweaked the EQ settings in the following way to get the best possible sound out of it :
Clear Bass Level : +7
Equalizer (left to right) - -3 +3 +4 -3 +2
Surround Sound - Studio
Clear Stereo - Off
Dynamic Normaliser - On
And, that's all! Trust me, you will love your music. Let me know.

Hi,
Please note that EQ settings are heavily dependent on the headphones you are using. Following EQ settings are according to my audio gear that I use. Believe me, they sound amazing! A bit closer to true audiophile gears!
My device : Sony Xperia M Dual
Headphone : Sony MH410C
EQ settings :
Clear Bass level : +10
Equalizer (left to right) : -4, +4, +4, -3, +3.
Settings :
Surround Sound : Studio
Clear Stereo : Off
Dynamic Normalizer : On
Happy Listening!
Another best EQ setting
Phone : Sony Xperia M Dual
Headphone : Sony MDR E818
Equaliser settings :
Clear Bass : +10
EQ (left to right) : 0 +2 +3 -3 +3
Settings :
Surround : Studio

Dynamic Normaliser : On
Enjoy your music!
Well if you REALLY want to get the best possible sound out it I suggest getting the AC!D Sound Engine MOD.
Makes everything sound nice and clear with awesome bass. I have it on my Z1s and couldn't be more happy.

I use Denon ah-d600 and I listen to metal.. Without any bass...to get enough I put the tru bass to 4.. And when I listen to music with bass in it I turn it down to zero...
Good headphones does not need eq... The equalizer destroys the sound to my ears

Thanks for the response.
If you feel male vocals lack warmth and depth, just increase the 400Hz from (-3) to 0., but not more than that, as it will introduce unnecessary hum.
If you feel too much bass, just decrease the Clear Bass level accordingly.
That should do it.

[Q] what does Fauxsound really do? need explanation

I am a little confused about fauxsound. These "gains" and "amplifier control" simply just adjust the audio volume right? and the right ratio or something will reduce background noise? All these settings don't really affect the music quality right? What is the difference between the digital, analog/poweramp, and the moto x-specific amplifer gain settings? thank you very much. some suggested settings would be nice
