Make speakers louder - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've looked all over for a solution to make the speakers louder on 4.2.2 but no luck . When I got the phone it seamed loud but now I can't hear people when making calls in the car. I've tried beats off all different volumes and all the crap apps but still it's no louder than my note. I've read that HTC have lowered the volumes on 4.2.2 is there any way to get the volume back and make the speakers louder. Please don't respond by saying your phone is loud enough as mine isn't!!
Thanks

There is a zip to make it really loud again.

Sorry fella, I have the 4.2.2 update stock rom (UK unbranded) and the volume is so loud I cannot listen at full volume in a quiet room and have it max of 75% my age 49 so my hearing not as good as a teen obviously. I think your phone may well be faulty?

Both are correct. HTC has lowered the volume repeatedly in their upgraded firmwares. The man who said his is still loud is most likely still running old >1.26 FW.
Now, as of a way to raise these volumes im not quite sure how to do this through file editing (Maybe the zip in post #2 or #3 works, idk, if your in dire need, nandroid and flash it) BUT if youre up to flashing a kernel (assuming youre running 4.2.2 and are on sense) you can flash Tbaldens Performance Kernel (in Orig. Android Dev. section) and that will give you options to boost volumes on multiple fronts. I can confirm this works myself, as i use this feature actively and dont experience any crackling or popping. If you decide to download this kernel, youll need Trickstermod Kernel Control app from the Play Store to edit the values.
(Lol, seems like alot but i promise its not. Plus you get extra sweet features like USB Fastcharge, and Overclocking and all that jazz with the kernel. Its worth it)

I tried it on a broken beats Rom - Joelz TwoPointThree 3.5.
It flashed, the boot initially took a little longer but I went to try it and no sound. Should I try a different player instead of stock or a different Rom? I was thinking of switching to ICS momentarily because Newts 3.5 has gone broken on me.

Just flashed this on a new flash of the official CM 7.1. I haven't had any trouble with music playing or clipping. Just pure sound. Albeit I did not do a comparison so I cannot say if I hear a difference in quality but I am happy with it and will continue to flash it.
What is really Beats by Dre? Sorry

Can i get a link to the original post? I dont feel like making an account on another site just to get a file.
edit: nm with googles help i found the file, i can confirm it works on miui
Joelz new 3.5 had a broken beats file allowing it to not work. Now I switched to cm7, listened to the music first. Very shotty headphones (ifrogz) as my latest earphones died on me.
The sound was eh.. flashed this beats zip and came back to hear it, the clarity and quality increased so much. Should note there is a tolerable difference when not using headphones as your speaker phone may actually sound like bass. Well at least I can gear it, I will try it on Joelz 3.5 again. Cause there is no notification or anything say it works its difficult to pinpoint if it only works on stock players or various ones.
I am hopefully getting new earphones tonight, JVC Xtreme Explosives is what I'm looking at.

It really does make quite a bit of a difference. For you guys trying it out, use nicer headphones. The difference is marginal on $15 skullcandy buds, but on high end speakers, it's really noticeable. Definitely worth the flash.

May i send to my ladies phone, sir? I have tested side by side with same phone using same ROMs (CM7 newest nightly) using 115 by Treyarch (yes the Black Ops zombie song) and quite a noticeable difference. Also not sure, but I had tested started with volume at 50% and my phone with the zip was louder by 2 notches (decreased volume to regulate) and her phone at 100% was to mine at 80%. I do not use DSP manager as I get a weird noise from it after any sound from speaker ends. Anyone else experience similar volume performance?

Volume not so amazing...

I've noticed between my One and my wife's One the audio is not so vibrant on my device... We are both on OMJ's Rom, I'm not sure if my phone was always with a lower audio or if it just happened to my phone later, gradually losing it's amazingness. I would like to know if there is a fix or a MOD for this substandard audio of mine. It's not terrible, but it's not as vibrant as my wife's and definitely not as loud as I would like.

Not sure of any mod currently but I did notice that once I flashed to viperROM ( or possibly before I just didn't notice) that my bottom speaker was louder than my top speaker but with the new update 1.29.651.10 base being added to his updated ROM both speakers are noticeably louder and are even as I believe sprint added a fix for it.

It isn't ROM or kernel dependent. It's a universal mod.
Just a shot in the dark.
Try turning Volume all the way down, then back up.
My Bluetooth Headset had Low Volume and this fixed it. I doubt this will fix it, but worth a shot.
There are so many layers of software on these devices that it can get messed up if it's passing delta volumes around vs absolute.

This mod is for Headphones only. I still recommend flashing it. However, please note that in the original 1.29 update, HTC lowered the volume as people were complaining. I mentioned this to viper, and with some files I supplied from the 1.28 RUU, he found the files, and made a flashable zip to increase the base sound. It isn't anything that will blow your ears off, but it certainly is noticeable. Just a sec as I seift through the thread for the link.
@OP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241016&page=117 first post. viper figured it out almost immediately lol. Flash the PUREx soundmod thing first, as it contains the updated version of the 2 files found in vipers' zip. Afterward, flash vipers zip to install the 1.28 volume files.
EDIT UPDATE:
Actually, as of version 4.0 the pure sound mod thing includes the fix.
Even further update!: People are saying that 4.0 makes the quality better whilst decreasing the sound a bit, so to be safe, I would flash 4.0 then vipers zip.
I had a flaky audio issue last week. After a reboot, all was good again. In my case, I think Youmail was causing an issue for some reason. It was playing all audio as if I was on a call using the earpiece.

Sound diffrence

Hi again i dont no if its just me but does the htc one loose volume wen upgrading to any 4.2.2 rom on stock 4.1.2 it seemed as tho it was louder playin music on stock 4.1.2 compared to 4.2.2

If im not mistaken.. I have read somewhere.. Its tune down by HTC.. Nothing we can do bout it... Someone correct me if im wrong thanks
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I thought the bigger issue was the firmware changing from 1.27 to 1.29 a couple months ago where many say the max volume was dropped. Personally I didn't notice such a dramatic difference though.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Both of these guys ^^^^^ are correct. One of the only ways i know to return it to higher levels is to install a custom kernel that has sound control (Such as Tbaldens Performance Kernel 2.1.4) and install an app (like trickster mod) that will give you the ability to control these levels. See attached pics.

Tbalden Perf Kernel 2.1.4 UV/OC/UC
Thanks for reply lads it cleared slot of things if htc felt as tho the sound needed reajusting then im fine with that :thumbup: and thanks for the reply and may i ask whats the best settings to use on trickster??

Indeed, I was also interested when HTC lowered the volume. Again I can't speak from personal experience on this but there was a lot of talk about popping from the speakers initially which you don't hear as much about now. Perhaps it was for the better Still, awesome to know we can go back if we want :thumbup:

Is there a mod to make the One speakers louder?

I want to know if there is a mod to make the One speakers louder... I've read of some mods (PureXAudio, CodexSound, V4A) but I didn't understand wich is better and if any of these mods makes the speakers louder... So can anybody suggest me a mod that increases the volume of the speakers? Thanks!
P.S.: If it's useful to help me better, I'm on stock 4.2.2 ROM with ElementalX 3.11 kernel.
P.P.S.: Sorry for my bad English!

No need for a mod, just plug in some headphones
Turn beats off.
The sound isn't as good but it is louder.
@designgears: I want to increase the speakers audio, so I don't need headphones.
@Dee Envy: I've already tried it, but is a very little change.
I want to know if a third-party mod can do that, maybe one of the three mods that I've written in the first post...

4.3 Low sound issue

Since the update, I've noticed that the sound is noticeably lower than 4.1. I'm thinking of taking the audio files from 4.1 over to the 4.3 zip and trying that. Before I do, any feedback would be appreciated. I'm trying this as opposed to a 3rd party mod 1. because sense 4.3 is new, and no mod is really out there for it yet and 2. it's HTC code, just from an earlier rom, and wouldn't require updating.
+1 I'm sending my phone in for camera and u told then to check my BoomSound because its not as loud as it was on 4.1.2 and I asked the rep if they turned it down and he got offended by it like oh no we would never do such a thing . I'll laugh my ass off all the way to the next company if you can bring back sound like it was before

No, this has to do with extracting firmware files from earlier versions, before HTC reduced the safety levels due to warranty claims. I can do it, but I was looking for some feedback before I get going with it this weekend. I will let you all know how it turns out.

There's Viper4Android if you're rooted, and PureXAudio if you're not, both claim to accomplish making it louder, but there are comments that say "not enough," or that it's buggy, etc. So, I am taking a different approach to it, and pulling everything from HTC's own firmware before they lowered it.
well there are some build.prop edits that will happen
Ipa.decode=true to lpa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=true to tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=true to lpa.use-stagefright=false
try that, it worked for me plus i installed viper4andriod
