How do we make the headphone volume louder? - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Contemplating picking up an AT&T N3, but I know the headphone volume is extremely low. Is there a way similar to volume mods that can make the freaking headphone volume go louder? The volume seems horribly low on this device with several different pairs of headphones. I know the T-Mobile variant is just as low, but they can flash volume mods on theirs.

Install poweramp from the playstore... go into the equalizer settings and boost the preamp level and adjust the others to suit your liking. Save it as a preset and apply it to the audio outputs of your choice..

Thanks, but does that actually make the headphone genuinely louder like flashing a volume mod?

Yeah I need this two. Movies play so softly on the headphones.

If you're rooted I recommend ViPER4Android. You won't be disappointed.

Ditto. Very good program.

I've just found a VERY GOOD APP that is WAY better than POWERAMP : TTPod ( no need to root the phone )
It really helps enhance the sound quality via bluetooth in my car. Try it out.

I'm looking to boost system volume. Even this app wasn't enough. Maybe the speaker is just weaker than i anticipated thus the headphone jack.
Audio boost here and Free!!! (pay donate if u want)
Ive looked around and found one that can increase yr volume its called Galaxy Tuner, on android market, maybe for Galaxy phs i dont know just try it, but to get the volume use the equalizer! use slider 100db 80-90% up for a bit more bass,but manly use these 2 sliders 875db and 2400db to round 70% any more will just distort sound, it will be a bit more tinny sound but louder great for shap noises like bird ring tones or sounds like sirens etc just play around but dont go max its crappy distortion! and u can save setting under what ever name! NOTE: using head phones will sound better, but make a setting "For Head Phones" and a setting "For External Speaker"

Best EQ settings?

Hello,
I'm wondering what EQ settings are best for all types of music.?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Use your ears. Some people like to have a lot of bass, and some like to have small amounts or even none. Plug your headphones in and adjust it until you like how it sounds on different songs and genres.
I don't use EQ. Makes my life simple. The settings in Voodoo control is enough for my ears.

The ones picked by the recording engineer during the tracking session.
I prefer a flat EQ a well, but that is because I want to hear the track how the artists/engineers intend. I have ultimate ears triple fi 10 in-ears and they sound amazing. But it takes some getting used to the sound since most people are not used to hearing super clear mids and highs

Save up for decent equipment and use no EQ at all. DSP effects ruin sound fidelity. As mentioned above, get used to listening to music the way it was intended by the artists and sound engineers that recorded it.
And here I was staying on Cm7 just for the DSP manager

I add bass, lots of it, but maybe I should stop using DSP
also Alan, DSP can be had on any ROM I'm on touchwiz ATM
(If you download Root toolbox you can find it in the 'other ' section then flash it)

The bass seeing in power amp with the preamp turned up

[Q]Audio quality on GT-P1000?

Hello everybody,
I'm pretty new to this device since i have swapped it two days ago so I would like a question about audio quality.
With the stock rom I had pre-installed the audio quality was samsung standard: not good but at least audible.
I moved to another rom (Overcome 7 v 4.1.0) which kernel supports voodoo sound.
I was really shoked when i listened to a song for the first time: bass and mid-ranges were just fine as voodoo makes them while highest pitches (and voice too) seems like playing miles away from me: they get all muffled whitout any apprent reason!
I double checked it wasn't a problem of my headset plugging them into my galaxy s and listening to the same song flawlessly.
Did anybody experienced this problem too?
Install DSPManager and set the equalizer to your liking.

True, much better with that.
Speakers volume
I have the same Tab with Overcome 4.1.0. It is a low volume level of speakers for making or recieving calls. Do you know what a problem is?

LOL, that isn't a solution!
Audio should be clear before applying any other effects (dsp or equalizing).
Btw I finally got the solution: it was all fault of Samsung's crappy headset!
I replaced with another set from another brand and it all works like a charm now!
Mods, you can close this thread.

+1 Beat audio in p1000 would be great. I am using Voodoo sound + poweramp which is great but would like to explore beat audio in my GT p1000.
+1
For couple of days, I have been testing several music players combined with voodoo sound + audio equalizer pro using supplied samsung headphone. First, I installed voodoo sound, then audio equalizer pro and tried it on poweramp. In poweramp I switched on equalizer, tone and Limit but I kept Bass and trible volume to zero. The sound was good but not compact. Then I tried the same on ttpod and N7 music player which to score less than poweramp. Finally, I tried on Neutron music player and I was amazed at the compact sound it delivers. My phone is galaxy tab p1000 with overcome rom and I set the minimum cpu to 400 becos even at 200 mhz, some times the sound has glitches. This is my new finding which i would like to share to all music lover who are using p1000. If someone has better experiences with music sound quality, please share it. I play around with the settings to get the best out of it. If someone would like to know my setting, I will share
Hi friends,
Search beats audio installer in Google play and try, but you should have custom kernel.
I didnt try. But if you try, try in your risk. Sorry, I didn't test.

Solution for improving the sound on the nexus 7 - no root required

For those who think the volume is not loud enough on the nexus 7, download the free app called Music Volume EQ. Open the app and click on the EQ button, this will go to the equalizer screen and you have to set the equalizer to "ON" and move all the 5 bars all the way to the top(move it to +15) and then that is it. You can close the program and keep it running in the background. I have not noticed any battery drop with it. It improves the volume alot. No root required.
How's the actual sound quality? I'm no expert on this, but wouldn't a boost this large start to introduce distortion?

Why don't you try it?
Anyway my investigation reveals that maxing out all volumes does induce a little distortion under bass, though I was listening to dubstep.
At 75% (Stock 50%, max 100%) on the application, volume was significantly improved, and distortion remained minimal.
I would suggest experimenting what works for you best, as not all speakers are made the same.
Strong suggestion OP.
I'm using "volume+ (volume booster) by meltus. It increased my volume by 50% with no distortion.

Sure it does....I'm stock on the N7 and it works perfect. I've been using it since last year when I bought the HTC sensation, if it wasn't for this app the sensation would be unusable. I'm now using it on the GNex as well.

The bs player has it's own volume control that will make the sound much louder.Just swipe up on the right side of the screen while playing a movie to increase the volume louder than the stock controls will allow.

Yeah I meant to say maximize the EQ settings but the stock volume can be altered as needed. But yeah if the stock is maxed as well there will be distortions and won't be good for speeker
