Volume Too Loud/Soft

Is there a permanent way to raise the ringtone volumes? I find that the ringtones are notoriously soft compared to my Sony Ericsson W715, even with stock drivers! I'm missing like half my calls and texts because I can't hear it or feel the vibration.
For both my Galaxy S Captivate and my sister's Samsung Wave (yes does not belong here), we find that the lowest headset volume is still too loud when we are listening to music. Is there a way to change that too? Volume level 1 on our phones is like volume level 4 on my W715 and volume level 10 on her Sony MP3.

bump please

Xperia T increase headset volume?

Hi I would like to increase the headset volume on my phone it is far to quiet when listening to music in my car via the audio jack, I used to have a galaxy s i9000 and I used the voodoo amp app that turned up the gain from -10 to +2 and it sounded incredible in the car but my Sony outputs at a much lower volume and sounds pants in comparison!
I've tried a lot of volume boost apps in play store and I've tried flashing sound mods like v4a and zeroinfinitys volume boost and superloud but nothing makes any difference at all!
And I'm stuck with a bootloader unlock allowed : no phone so unable to install custom kernels
Any help to turn up the volume in some way would be greatly appreciated......
Thanks in advance

Anybody??

One last attempt for a response lol
This phone will be for sale if I can't sort this volume out or unlock the bootloader I will go back to samsung

Wait for 4.3 update, stock volume is louder.
But have you tried poweramp ? Gain can be increased a lot.

I have had a similar issue. Increasing gain will kill quality. And I don't think you want that. My recommendation is to buy a headset with a higher sensitivity. I always look for something higher than 105db because this stupid phone.

That's good news volume is louder in 4.3! I'm currently using poweramp paid version, I have dvc enabled and I've turned up the pre amp slider on the equaliser a bit but not a lot of difference in the sound have I missed a setting somewhere??

I never use an actual headset I plug the phone into the aux in on my car stereo, I don't know the hardware differences between the 2 phones I have but with the Sony plugged in and all volumes on max it sounds very quiet but if I plug in my old galaxy s running cm7 and voodoo sound if all volumes were maxed speaker damage would almost definitely occur it is sooooo much louder and the quality is still crystal clear in my opinion

This is a problem of too high impedance of your car device for XT, hardware related... You could use a preamp.
But wait for 4.3.

[Q] Call volume on the lowest level just TOO LOUD!

Hello.
Over a week ago I switched from my dear old Xperia Neo to Xperia Z1 and so far no real complaints except:
The in-call volume even on the lowest level is too loud. Much too loud. It's impossible to hold it so that it touches my ear when listening to the other caller. It was never the problem with Neo. Some people joke that modern smartphones are so loaded with features that the quality of the fundamental functions may become secondary. Well, it isn't very far from that.
I've searched for a solution all over the place, but all you find is ''Volume Boosters'' and how to increase volume steps. That doesn't do a thing with volume.
Does anybody know how to lower the minimum call volume (or minimum System volume or whatever that helps to solve my issue)?
The phone is rooted, with stock firmware.
Thanks.

How Can I Increase InCall Volume Without Root

I am on stock 6.0.1 MM .291 rom and incall volume is not loud as normal phones( like Samsung s5 , iPhone 5S...) Can I increase the sound without rooting my phone? I read we can install viper4android without root. Does it increase incall volume ? http://www.gadgetts.com/2016/04/install-viper4android-on-any-android.html?m=1
Do you know any different methods?

Just press the volume button on the side of the phone!
Just kidding. The link you provided must be a joke or something because at the end of the instructions, it states, "NOTE:- All the above steps are only applicable if you have rooted your Smartphone"
So, you have to be rooted to manipulate the phone's output beyond what the UI will allow.

volume steps to big / media volume sync off?

I have a sony z3c with a broken microphone. So I thought, I can use this great phone as an music-, podcast- and audiobook-player. Just ike the Sony NW A100.
But when I connect a bluetooth speaker or headphone to that device there are only 15 steps to increase or decrease the volume. And the lowest volume possible is way to loud to listen podcast late at night on my JBL go 1 or 2. Also the volumechange between two steps is to heavy.
Normaly I use my Samsung Galaxy S8 to play audiofiles. There are also only 15 Steps to change the volume. But I can change “media volume sync” in the bluetooth advanced settings to change the volume of the smartphone and the speaker separately, which fixed my problem. On some sony smartphones in the developer options you can toggle "Disable absolut volume", but on my z3c this option is nowhere to be found.
But that’s not possible on the z3c. I tried apps like “Precise Volume“, some tweaks in the Xposed framework and ViPER4Android. Even some custom rom. But nothing worked.
With some tweaks or ViPER4 Android I could get the volume lower (by reduce the output gain or lover all frequencies in the EQ). But then, when I change the volume, sometimes 2 or 3 steps remain on the same volume.
Does any of you have any Idea how to help my with my problem? It’s been two month now, that I tried everything to fix it, but till today, I don’t found any solution...

idk exactly, but maybe you can take this a hint for furter research on that topic:
