increase the volume by using whatever program you used to cut the ringtones in the 1st place

Any way to increase a ringtone that's already made? I have The Office theme song as my ringtone, but it's not as loud as I'd like. I know I can increase the overall volume with itunes, just not sure how I can get that file resaved with the increase.

you can use Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
or you can use the 'Audio Recorder', which came with windows, but the file has to be a .wav file ................... I had a tutorial somewhere which I did a long time ago when I had the mpx200 and mpx220 which had a low speaker output, I will look around and see if I can find it and repost it here

1: Do a google search for a free Mp3 to wav converter or use the one above
2: Convert all you mp3 files to wav
4: Now on your PC (OS =XP) it START ~~ ALL PROGRAMS ~~ ACCESSORIES ~~ ENTERTAINMENT ~~ SOUND RECORDER.
5: after you have opened the sound recorder at the top hit EDIT ~~ INSERT FILE.... now in the new box that pops up locate the folder with the files you just converted and select one by double clicking on it.
6: No with the file in the sound recorder play it and take note of how loud it is then hit , EFFECTS ~~ INCREASE VOLUME (BY 25%) do that about 4 times (you cando it a lot more if needed) and then listen to it again and make sure it does not sound distorted. If it does just hit EFFECTS ~~ DECREASE VOLUME.
7: Now that you have the volume you want hit FILE ~~ SAVE AS and give it a title and hit save.
8: to insert a new file hit FILE ~~ NEW and then start from steps 5 - 8 untill you've did all of them.
they are all going to be in wav formate after you finished so you can use a converter and convert them back to mp3

Mp3 not loud?

I would like to use it as gps and mp3 player in the car, but the sound is quite low, I cant hear anything almost. Is there a rom that has improved sound or something?

You have to soft-reset after replacing.

Creating Ringtones Output Level Question

I downloaded some ringtones (mp3 files) but the sound levels aren't consistent. I'd like to normalize the files. I have little experience with sound files, I found a few programs like audacity but I have no idea what the correct output settings should be for the Droid. Is there a "standard" db level I should set or is it just trial and error? Thanks.

If you want to normalize the volume across MP3s I'd suggest MP3Gain. It will scan the MP3 file and report an average db value. It will then change the file to the average db value you specify. You'll still have your loud and soft parts, but the average volume is fixed so going from MP3 to MP3 the volume feels the same. I run all my songs through this.

Yes, but on the phone, how do you know what the best setting is so it isn't distorted or too low. Mine are all over the place. I know if I pick a db value and normalize it, that will "fix" the problem but how do you know the best value for the phone?

Default sound enhancement

The built-in music app that comes with Android is really nice looking and functional, so I want to use that for my music. Problem is, the sound is really bad. See, it defaults to SRS-enhancement. I know some people rave about SRS- or Beats-enhancement, but they're wrong. I've got a Forte in my PC that delivers, well, not perfect music, but many times cleaner music than what many others hear. I've compared that to the phone using my AD700s and there's no doubt that both SRS and Beats distort the music considerably and arguably too much/in a bad way. I like my music clean (i.e. not with an overly punchy bass and a high pitch the phone can't handle), so I want it to default to "no enhancements", but how do I do that? For now, I'm using Winamp, but I see no reason to use that if I can fix this problem.

Install poweramp it has a full functioning equalizer.
Also you can set enhancement to "none"

Oh and once you select a song in your default music player and it brings up the now playing screen you can hit the menu button on the bottom of your phone and select "enhancements" and change the settings in there I believe you can remove the srs there.

I can, but it defaults back to SRS if I remove the headphones.

It's decent, I think. Haven't used it a lot, but the sound quality is good. Pretty much just your average music player.

I tried normal Winamp, does anyone tried Winamp pro?

Is there anyway to boost the volume of media playback?

not trying to blow my speakers but wanting to know if there is a volume boost out there thats works on media playback and not just system tones

Viper4android, about the best out there, you must be rooted however, makes the boom sound speakers even more amazing! :good:

I use an app called "MX player" it's free and will boost the media volume to double!
It supports all kinds of media formats

there is a volume booster built in as well, you need to check it to enable it, then choose the effect.......slight, moderate, or exreme, I choose moderate as I don't want to hurt the speakers. it really makes an amazing sound difference! I used to have to turn the volume all the up on you tube videos, not anymore and the sound is even deeper
