Bluetooth Sound not Loud enough - Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi Guys
Since one Week i got the Huawei P30 Pro and some sony wh-1000xm3 Headset that are connected with Bluetooth. The Volume is way to low and i was wondering if someone has an idea. All the things that are mentioned in others threads where made. I joined the developer mode to change the bluetooth limitation but i didn't saw no change.
I used a PreAmp App but the Sound is getting very crispy and bad as soon i put up the Amp. I'm pretty frustrated because it's not working. With a cheap Headset (JBL 50$) the Music way better and louder.
What i did not tested was the Wired connection between Phone and Headset but i will test that and let you know. Also i had not the time to test with another phone to make sure it's not the headset itself.
Someone got an idea what i can do because i'm playing with the idea of giving back my phone if there is no solution to it.
Thanks in advance for any possible Idea.

activate developer settings, then activate "volume control over bluetooth"

Hi
If you read my Text correctly i did that allready. I gave back the Headphones today and got them changed.
Ater that i visited a bik Market and tryed out allot of other models over my Phone + USB-C to 3.5mm Jack and they where sounding awfull. Funny thing is when i got home i tried the ones that came with the Phone and they Sound amazing. They Airpod style and i don't like how i have to wear em but the sound was brilliant.
So i think Over Ears with USB-C will make the thing but it seems to be dificult to find em.

Hey, I had the same problem with those Sony's with my Sammy s9 and never managed to get it fixed but since I got the p30 pro it's been fine. Much better volume now. No help for you but lots of sympathy. I know how bad it sucks.

I have been using the b&o E8.2 for about 6 months now with my p30 pro I haven't noticed any low volume issue sound is just magnificent

Did you try bluetooth absolute volume enabled? ( I did that for my airpod pro is it's much louder than before you can find that under the developer mode assuming you already have it enabled. Once you enable make sure you restart to get the results.

Hi
Yes did that and it gets louder but the sound gets dirty not hearable for my ears. I want both things clear and Loud sound.
But i think i got some sort of solution buying a DAC lie the Ibasso oder the Meizu that amps up that stuff.

News
Hi Guys
So i got some News. I had the Chance yesterday to test some Headphones. All the Wireless ones are not Loud enough. Also the ones that i could test with a USB-C to 35mm Jack adapter and a cable from the Shop itself where also horrible to listen to.
I also picked up that USB-C to 3.5mm Jack Adapter from Huawei itself and with my JBL headset the Sound is almost Loud enough and Clear. But i found a Thread in a Hifi Forum and i think the Piece of hardware i need to get some decent Sound is a DAC. That is a Digital to Analog Converter that amps up the Music without distorting the Sound. There are several Models and if someone is interested i would have a look at this thread in here .https://www.head-fi.org/threads/usb-c-to-3-5mm-adapters-dac-lets-find-the-best.908839/page-30.
For me i decided that i give up on that Bluetooth and Wireless Crap and simply get a decent Wired Headphone with a DAC. I think that will do the Job.

There are HTC and Hidisz USB C to Jack adapters available with a built-in DAC. They both work brilliant with the P30 pro

did you notice that your Sony headphones have their own volume? try to "volume up" pressing your headphones
On the other hand, I tried different headphones (airpods pro, freebuds 3, airpods 1...) with Huawei p30 and p30pro, and I had volume troubles with the p30pro, the volume was too low; with P30 the volume is perfect... I dont know why

Extremely low headphone volume

This phone has the absolute worst headphone output. It is SO low. Plugging the device into my car through an auxiliary port is horrible. I can't believe Samsung makes the headphone output so incredibly low on a flagship device. How can they get away with this? It's almost half of the iPhone 5S?
Care to explain a little more in detail? Why 'slow'? Do you mean the sound quality coming through the headphone jack of the headphone jack itself?
I am simply referring to the fact that when you plug in a pair of headphones the output volume is extremely low, compared to the HTC M9, or iPhone. I have tried several headphones and even plugged a pair into a demo unit at best buy. Turn up the volume all the way and it's simply not loud enough. Plug the same pair of headphones into an iPhone or HTC One M9 and the volume output is much louder. I do not understand how Samsung can get away with making the volume so loud. Defeats the purpose of having the phone play music.
Now I have used many many Galaxy smartphones, and while I have complained of this issue before, the S6 by far as the absolute lowest volume. Wouldn't be an issue if a volume mod could be flashed. But we need the boot loader unlocked first.
That's weird, maybe since it's a demo unit, my gs6 gets uncomfortably loud and it's almost on pair with my ipad.

To each their own with sound, I guess. It was enough for me to return the phone.
So this can't just be bothering me.
Once you plug it in, make sure to turn the volume up on the phone. By default, the headphone jack is set very low so you dont blow the external speakers.
Also, try a headset and see if its still low for you. If it is, then its a bad port... if it isnt, then something is up with your aux port or car unit.

I have tried many headphones. It gets loud, but nothing like the iPhone. Very difficult to hear your music in the gym. Samsung should not make the headphone volume this low. It's beyond frustrating for us audiophiles. FWIW, I don't think my phone is defective, I just think its me. Either way, I returned it.

I can understand where you're coming from. I was quite frustrated at first until I started playing with the equalizer and adapt sound. Now it's much better. I've plugged my headphones into the iPhone and while it does get louder it also gets more distoreted.
Have you gone into settings / sounds / sound quality and effects.
The tinkered around with the SoundAlive+ & Tube Amp? Also try using adapt sound to really tailor your sound.
Maybe one of those needs to be enabled to increase the output of the volume, not sure..
There's a post in general secton to increase the volume of the phone. It requires root tbough so be aware.

Dude seriously,, Thank you. I thought i have started having issues with my hearing. The output is so low that when in the subway, there is no way for me to hear my music. Only when i rotate the earpeace in an unusuall position, i am able to hear what i am actually listening to. The worst thing is that it seems to be recognized by u and me only... I don't know what to do and i for sure don't want an iphone..
Yep, ridiculously low volume output from the headphone jack. Compared to an LG G4 on the same speaker set to the same volume level, the S6 output is almost inaudible over background noise in the kitchen. Only way to get any usably loud audio from it is Bluetooth, which has its own set of problems with this phone.
Yes the sound from ear phones is too low. With my previous I9070 my ears used to bleed at 3 with Poweramp but now ven with the Volume turned upto 5 I can barely hear them..!

Well, i had same problem but when i did the adapt sound tune, i did it at home without surrounding noises and heard all the beeps.. I redid it while on the train and heard aboit 30 % of the beeps and now i have a loud volume also disablwd the effects..
My headphones were also not working well. I thought to try some other brands. I searched alot but all were very expensive. Then my gym trainer suggested me to look for SoundMAGIC. I got affordable audiophile headphones online at exclussive offer. The sound is fantastic. I am very happy with it now.

Samsung Level U Pro - BT Headphones - Wow

Picked these up on Amazon for £70, main reason was level app gives all the function and tuning sound to suit plus the two speaker per earpiece design.
Cut to the chase stunning sound. I am picky with around 10 pairs of headphones ranging from Sony, Beats to AT. Also an ex audiophile coming from full on active Naim Audio system. Reason for mentioning that was the way Naim exerts grip, control, detail and ease rarely phased.
This sums up the headphones, never experienced this sort of deep controlled taut bass on headphones coupled with a clear midrange- normally one ruins the other.
The sound level when you attach the right size buds is shockingly loud - at max phone and headset zero distortion.
Plus you get all the notifications and crap s voice. Can take calls not tried says has two microphones.
Negatives, neck surround it very hard and stiff, ear buds do not totally seal and on my set BT occasionally disconnects but worst of all an ongoing BT skip every 15 - 30 seconds.
Hope I can solve the connectivity as even my cheap mpow have zero BT issues.
All that said an awesome headset.
Update: Reset the level U and unpaired, then repaired - all sorted NO BT connectivity issues, also have my Gear S2 and Car BT connected this morning.
Wore it to work, forgot I had it on as it was just hanging on my shoulders, realised when it vibrated (notifications).
Tried a few call, very good, I prefer to use it with 1 earpiece, mic quality (has 2) seems very good to the other party.
What about battery life?
Not really timed it but on a full charge 6 days ago have had 5hrs use in the app still shows more than half.

Hi
I have the samsumg level u pro anc . In my opinion i can say the sound is not the best
is normal like any other device .The anc version sorry to say this but it's garbage and the Uhd I don't see a big difference when is on or off . I had many bluetooth headsets and i can say for my the best bt headset was the motorola s9 a real HD sound after that the s10 and s11 they didn't have a sweet sound
btw. I have stuttering too I don't know if it's the headset or the samsung s7 .
I hope samsung gives a fix for this.

Bought this unit today and paired with Axon 7 Mini and instantly hated the sound and volume level.....of course i was driving away from the store and just had to try it. I immediately put the headset on my center console in my car and left it till i finished up my other activities and didn't touch it till i got home and downloaded the Level app from the play store. Pulled up reviews on amazon,and Headfi and saw people raving about the sound quality,put my laptop down and started going through my settings on the phone players(Neutron,Poweramp beta,and built in ZTE hi res player)......then setup Samsung Level app and changed the silicone tips to a set that fit my ears perfectly and then .....DAMN ! These things DO sound amazing. The quality of the drivers is beyond what i expected and the volume is just perfect....I love to crank it up,but my ears have been damaged through playing in live bands and crazy loud car stereos,and the volume was loud but not painfully so....These are keepers and sound great with the Dolby Atmos turned on. My two cents .....great deal when you find these now for $39.99

I gave it a try to all of the apps on that website and it does boost a little bit of the sound, the problem about it is that it distorts everything, so basically i get louder music but the quality goes pretty bad.
I tried hooking up this same headphones via cable and the sound quality is amazing, just when im wireless it gets kinda low.

Headphones volume is extremely low

I have a big problem with the Mi A2 - it's really quiet using headphones (through the stock adapter). It's not headphones problem. Now, the question is, is that because of the software or maybe because of the crappy adapter? I need the people from EU country to speak here because maybe it us because of the stupid EU law.
Noticed this too. You get a slight improvement with viperfx and master gain /xloud , but that's all I found out.
Now, even if I am a pretty solid fan of Jack + high end headphones, we are in 2018, moving to BT headphones with Bt 5.0 is the way to go. On this matter. Having aptx advertised and not able to use it without build.prop tweak is a more serious matter IMHO ??
Still Loving my mia2 everyday more tho. This thing is getting faster everyday and having the governor set to ondemand + touch boost disabled make it fast as hell and crazy battery performance (getting solid 5-6 hours SOT)
Grüß,
H
Same problem.... headphones were pretty loud on my old Mi4... now its really low. :/
What do you mean with "touch list disabled"?
Thanks!

I love my Mi A2 too but I swear I can't listen to the music because the volume is so damn low. While you are rooted, could you send this file - system/etc/mixer_paths_tasha.xml and this system/etc/mixer_paths.xml? I am sure low volume can be fixed by editing these files.
They can be stored in this place too - vendor/etc

Where is this option?
Solution?
This problem is something I struggle with too. Might it be the usb type c adapter to aux which is the problem? Can anyone try with a different adapter and report back? I am using Xiaomi mi in ear pro headphones. I need to use max volume to have a volume which I consider medium.

I just got my Mi A2 and the audio volume seems very low when Bluetooth paired to my cars stereo. Maybe halve the volume of my old LG phone. Very weird since the audio volume thru the Mi A2's built-in speaker is VERY loud.
Stock dongle's output is slow. Get some other 3rd party and sound will get louder. I have bought and its sound is quite louder than stock's one.
Sent from my Mi A2 using Tapatalk
I just got google's newest dongle, it is good. The volume, while not overwhelming, is certainly loud enough with music. Dynamic Range seems quite improved also. I figured for 12 bucks, not much to lose. But turned out improvement for sure.
Mi A2 audio quality
I am currently using the stock dongle and mi piston fresh earphone on my Mi A2 for music. The audio quality is really poor. There's noise and audio is muddy. Is anyone experiencing this and is there a way to improve the audio quality?
I used the headphones of the leeco le Max 2 type c and it sounds wonderful ... but when using the adapter for my headphones Xiaomi sounds very slowly
MIA2 Bluetooth Audio output is extremely low? And solutions

This doesn't help at all. You'll still end up being stuck with SBC or AAC codec.
I recently converted my phone to Mi 6x and flashed AospExtended v5.8 Rom. Now LDAC is working perfectly with my sony wh1000xm2 headphones and volume output from stock dongle has increased to normal levels. So finally I'm able to use my MI A2 for listening music and I don't need to carry my old Moto X play with me just to use spotify.
I don't think problem is low quality of stock dongle. After all it is just simple adapter and it shouldn't have any or very little difference on audio quality (audiophiles may have different opinions). And I also had very low volume via bluetooth on stock rom.
I'd really love to use the stock rom because the stock camera is much better for day to day use than these buggy gcam ports, but low audio output makes it impossible. Mi a2 is great phone with ****ty firmware and I don't have any high hopes for Xiaomi to fix these bugs. Maybe in the future when development really kicks in we got rom wich is capable for music and photos.

So can someone confirm if this is a problem in the type-c to 3.5mm adapter? If i buy a usb-c earphone or a third party adapter the audio will be loud?
I'm really waiting for someone at XDA to comment on :

Audio is too low through USB-C

Hello,
I just bought a pair of really good headphones, Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO, and the sound is very low on max setting. I don't know why, I don't know how... My other Bluetooth or other headphones work great and sound is there, but with these and AMP/DAC Dragonfly RED and a Dragontail (USB to USB-C adapter), I get no sound that I want and that bothers me. If something is wrong or it just doesn't understand my setup or USB-C is a wrong hole for the music to play through? I have searched and read threads and websites with no result.
So, I am asking you for suggestions, anything goes. I tried a couple of sound boosters and they just make my music sound like crap, tried all the settings in the phone, I don't know what else is left to do...
Thank you in advance.

DT1990 Pro has resistance of 250 Ohm what makes it a fairly hard model to drive without an external amp. Dragonfly should be enough though. Is your PC driving them well? Maybe Sony can't power Dragonfly sufficiently.
