Very low audio output via the 3.5mm headphone jack. - Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers

Even though this phone has a 3.5 mm headphone jack, the audio output via the jack is terrible.
I have tested 3-4 different earphones as well as gaming headphones but still I'm disappointed.
Even on the loudest volume, the audio seems a bit on the low side.
Any solution for this ? or any workaround ?

Have you tried to push the hj all the way in?

Yes. Earphone fits perfectly in the jack. I said that the volume is low because I compared it with my cheap old phones. And the hj audio o/p was way better than nokia 7 plus.

It might be high volume warning. You don't see this popup if your screen is off and volume stays at the same low level. https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-automatically-disable-the-high-volume-warning-without-root/

[Q] Headphone Volume for Line-Out to low

I mainly use my headphone jack on my Streak 7 as a line-out for listening to music in my car. The jack has very low max volume compared to my iPhone and iPad.
I was just wondering if anyone knew of any system file mods that would allow a higher max volume out of the headphone jack, or set it to optimal line-out volume?
Something similar to Voodoo sound on the Samsung android devices would be awesome.

Why would you want to send max output to a sound system? You should let your car amp drive the sound to your speaker. Sending a max out signal will not give you the best sound.

I know this, but the max sound of the dell streak 7 is no where near optimal line out volume for a good sound system. I plug my iphone or ipad in via line out by the dock connector and it is like a night and day difference. Same thing with my Samsung Infuse, way louder line out via the car dock then the Streak 7 headphone jack.
I have a high end sound system in my car that I went crazy on back when I worked for circuit city years ago and you can notice every little difference in sound quality. I have polk audio SR series speakers (which sound awesome btw) and the streak 7 muffles the sound quality.

The muffling you are talking about I believe is due to the eq/sound quality the S7 is able to deliver. It isn't that terrible, but my Samsung Exhibit 4g sounds way better and also has a better software music player and a decent built in eq - and the volume gets much louder.
You say muffle, I say "not a full sound". I would stick to the Samsung from my own experience.

low audio from headphone jack

for some reason i have a low music output on my left earbud, even though i have the volume all up, and the headphones are not broken. I also get the same result on my aux cord and the left speaker on my stereo is also low. is this a hardware problem or software and can samsung fix this for me.

Did you try to clean the inside connection.

[Q] HeadPhone jack broke? (need help ASAP)

Earlier today, I tried connecting my One to a portable speaker and the sound output was extremely low ( both the speakers and phone was at max volume)
But when my friend played through the speakers with his phone, it was all right. I didn't pay much attention to it.
Now after getting back home, thought I'd try once again, and when I connected my earphones, in the volume output is very low ( max music volume)
The phone recognizes my earphones, both the boomsound speakers work fine.. The only problem is with my earphone jack.
Does anyone have a clue why this is happening, and is it a software issue, any solutions

Low volume listening to music on headphones

Just got my OP3T yesterday, and absolutely love it...EXCEPT that when I listen to music on (wired) headphones the volume does not go very loud. Even when I turn it up to the highest setting, just not that loud. And the headphones are plugged in all the way, they work with other phones, etc., etc. Anyone else having this issue?
You gotta plug it in properly, that was the issue with mine. It almost requires an unreasonable amount of force to plug it in or plug it out.
I use wireless bt headphone, and the sound is pretty loud, compare with the droid turbo, will try the wired headphone later

No problem with mine, turning it up more than halfway is way too loud. Best sound I've ever had from a phone.

What's is the impedance of your headphones? The higher the impedance the lower the volume, usually higher end/better quality use high impedance 32 ohm's+. My Sony's are 32 and are reasonable but still use my Fiio A1 for some extra umph! Might get the Fiio k1 and see what USB audio is like and get another pair of AKG's as they are my favourite sound signature.

Yes, I'm aware of this. Mine have been plugged in fully.

The impedance is 16, so that shouldn't be the issue.

Strange I get decent sound out the jack alone. What is the make and model of your headphones?

Have tried it with both Sony MDR-EX58V earbuds and Sony MDR-V8 over-the-ears.

Weird why not invest in a Fiio A1 or USB variant K1, I'm thinking of jumping on the USB audio to see how it is. I know that "it's not the point" but a worthwhile purchase if you enjoy music.
Mine is plenty loud. Used my Xiaomi Piston 3's all day with it.
Higher impedance means more control over your volume because you're basically forced to use an external amp/dac, doesn't necessarily mean better quality.
Same issue, loudest volume is about right for me, still, does not go as loud as my Nexus 5 did.
More than loud enough at 65% volume with my Audio Technica and Shure headphones. I ended up lowering the max volume with custom kernel.
You can always try the "Increased Headset Volume"-magisk module if you want louder headset volume.

USB DACs, dongles, USB-C headphones and the Razer Phone 2

With the Hammerhead ANC USB-C, or the included DAC, or the Hidizs, the RP2 outputs crackling and static at low volume levels. With the latest update, you either get no sound, or the crackling at below ~30% volume.
Using powered external DACs like a Schitt Modi, or combined DAC/Amps like a Sony NW-ZX300 in DAC mode or an JDS Element - there is no crackling.
Using UAPP on RP2 to play music, you can control hardware volume and software volume separately. It appears that the USB DAC and the Hammerhead ANC USB-C don't get enough power at low volumes with other apps and that is why there's dropouts and static..
Is this a problem with just the Razer Phone 2, or with Android in general?
I have the similar issue with my razer phone 2. the Dongle plus any non high end earphones, sounds really loss in low volume. But when I use the Sony MDR 7506, the sound is fine. Seems the razer phone is not user friend to low end earphone.
