Just got a nokia BH-211 bluetooth headset, and the sound is *very* low in it (it's unit controlled).. So I was wondering if anyone knows of a app that can boost the sound a bit? The headset is useless outside/at work with the volume gained now..
have you tried increasing the volume on your diamond?
I am wondering if anyone can exploit a glitch in the bluetooth audio volume on the xperia T
As most of you will no doubt be aware the bluetooth volume is rediculously low on the xperia T, i believe its low on most android phones?
However I have found that with all of volumes at max, If I go to setting, sound, volumes then set the ringer volume to max the volume to the bluetooth headphone literally doubles
Is this something that can be exploited by someone who is in the know?
I am desperate to get more volume from my phone via bluetooth as my headphones are very quiet in comparison to my old nokia n8, but more importantly music is rediculously low when connecting my phone to my car via bluetooth, its such a shame as both worked so well with my old nokia I would love to find a way around this problem.
Thank You

Try installing xposed framework and finding the mod that allows the advanced volume control. It seperates all the volume streams so blutooth volume is not linked to other volumes.
Search for it in google or the themes and app section

When connected via bluetooth I get the bluetooth volume adjuster on my phone when I use the buttons, however this is already at max, with all volumes at max it is still very low, however just pressing the ringtone volume, even without adjusting it as it is already at max, it plays my ringtone for a second thn suddenly I have twice the volume, despite all volumes including bluetoth were already at max, suddenly I have plenty of volume?

This app does a nice job of setting media volume to max and works superb, however it hasn't solved the issue, even with all volumes set to max the Bluetooth volume is still very low, however just touching the notification or alarm volume slider and letting it beep, then doubles the output.
I have just flashed .145 Rom and kernel hoping it would fix the issue, but it still persists. Does it not do the same for everyone else?
I.e start walkman with Bluetooth headphones or car connected, start playing music, then go to settings, sounds, volumes and adjust the alarm volume, then the volume has Bluetooth output volume has suddenly doubled?
It didn't do it on custom Roms for me just sock ones, custom ones stayed quiet no matter what
"just touching the notification or alarm volume slider and letting it beep, then doubles the output."
THANK YOU! Fast little work around to get true max volume on my Xperia T. Can't believe Sony hasn't gotten this sorted after many updates. I can finally use my Jambox again haha!
The low bluetooth volume is a known issue on JB FW's for Xperia T. (read somewhere its related to actual JB rather than Sony only).
My fix for it is..connect BT headphone.. take a quick call.. just dial something for even a second n end...n volume increases on BT..
Hi,
When pairing up with a Loewe Speaker2Go Bluetooth speaker using aptX my Sony Z3 compact defaults to max volume and the volume control is not configurable from the phone (I am aware this is a KitKat "feature"). The main problem is that this only allows a small scale on the speaker between no sound and very loud sound (3-4 volume presses). Has anyone experienced this kind of problem with other speakers and is there a solution? Thanks,

I paired a Bluetooth Stereo Headset, LG HBS-800, has aptX. When they are connected, I can press the volume rocker on the Z3C and it'll pop up a Bluetooth Volume. My headset has its volume control and works independently.
Yeah, same on my Sony Bluetooth Headphones. Volume control via volume rockers both on phone and headphones (independantly).
My SuperTooth Disco 4 Wireless Portable Bluetooth and NFC Speaker when connected, I get a Bluetooth Volume slider. Apparently it uses the aptX protocol too.
No issue here with the Definitive Technology Cube. NFC, Throw, AptX, and Bluetooth all works together in harmony.
It's a bit of a shame for the OP as that item is pretty expensive that it does that, when much cheaper speakers don't. Odd.
It is a shame as the speaker is very good and worked perfectly with earlier versions of android. Based on the compatibility list it has not been tested with 4.4+ though... Based on the previous replies I guess it is not a sony problem as other Bluetooth aptx devices can still be controlled from the phone. For the devices this works with is the volume in sync on the phone and speaker?
My speaker is controlled entirely by the phone, it has no volume controls itself.
Ok, this seems to be an issue with the Loewe speaker and not the Z3C. I've just been to an hi fi store and tried pairing the phone with a number of Bluetooth aptX speakers, including AudioPro T9, AudioPro T10, Marshall Stanmore and the Sony SRS-X9 and with all these devices I could control the volume from the phone as well. Will check one more thing on the Loewe when I get back home - it had phone and media pairing on (not just media like the other speakers) so maybe this is the problem. If not, looks like the firmware on the Loewe does not support Android 4.4+.
I am having a similar issue but it presents itself when going above the 4th notch on the Bluetooth volume on my XZ3C. Volume goes from 0% to %15 to 30% to 80% to 60% and 70%. When my computer connects to the same bluetooth audio dongle it has a smooth range. I suspect it is a problem with the XZ3C protocols that interfere with certain bluetooth devices and not a hardware problem.
I have the same issue with my JBL speaker. I can't change the volume on the speaker without the Bluetooth volume on the phone rising or reducing. It seems that there isn't any independent control using my z3 compact but if I pair it with my LG g2, it works independently.
Same here with the Jensen Scandinavia Buddy. My Z3C cannot control the volume but my Galaxy S2 running Cyanogenmod at 4.4.4 can.
Still an issue after upgrading to Lollipop.
the good, the bad and the funny
Xperia Z3 Compact, Android 5.0.2
I connect my phone to a Philips BTB 7150 home audio system.
- the phone does not change the volume of the audio system upon connect (good)
- i cannot control the volume of the audio system through the phone's volume rocker (bad)
- when i change the volume directly on my audio system whilst connected with my phone, the phone shows the Bluetooth Volume popup and the slider moves in sync (funny)
So there seems to be some kind of control connection, but only one way.
On the other hand: no problems with iOS devices here. When connected to an iPhone the phone controls the system's volume and system volume changes are reflected on the phone's volume setting.

Xperia Z3 Compact D5803, Android 5.0.2 (Nordic stock ROM, no hacks)
Home hi-fi system with Philips BT adaptor: phone can control the BT audio volume output (as expected)
Home mini hi-fi system: phone can control the BT audio volume output (as expected)
Car BT audio system: phone can control the BT audio volume output (as expected)
JBL Charge BT speaker: phone cannot control the BT audio volume output (oops) ; I need to use the speaker's volume control
So, quite a few gadgets work well, but in fact my JBL speaker suffers from the same problem, which I never realised before.
Is it a speaker BT standards problem ?
Or is there something in the phone's BT implementation that needs refining ?
Same Problem here
I have the following problem:
I use the Z3 compact with a Sony BM-10 BT audio receiver. When a make a call with my BT headset which is not set to maximum volume the volume of the music is set to maximum from time to time afterwards. Also the volume slider shows the BT symbol or loudspeaker or the throw symbol randomly. I tried many things to solve this as pairing the BT devices again. Anyone any idea?
I was wondering if it is just me, but these are the issues my Nokia 8 has:
-media volume control starts at 40%, so wired headphones are way too loud even on lowest setting
-Bluetooth audio quality is just horrible, with hisses and buzzing,same headphones work fine with other devices
-hiss while using external speaker. Every time a sound is output, there will be a hiss/buzz that continues for a couple seconds after sound output stops
Any experiences with that? And more importantly, any fix?

It must be your phone only.
I've no issues with audio at all.
Audio quality over Bluetooth is really good, much better than any other phone I've owned.
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,

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?
