How to increase sound from the stereo speakers?? - Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers

I find the sound too low for my liking. When watching movies or playing games I often need to use 80% or more volume.
Any way to increase the sound otherwise apps that actually work??
Thanks.

The volume is a bit higher with Dolby Atmos switched on.

I am using Dolby Atmos. It does improve sound quality and loudness slightly, shame there is no software than can amplify, none seem to work...

If you're willing to unlock the bootloader and root, Viper4android is a solution....

I'm not ready to root my phone yet but I've been using Viper4Android for my previous phones, and this is definitely what you're looking for.

Use this app

Do not set to loud as it may cause damage to speakers, I've set it to 5%

I haven't tried with Bluetooth, I believe it would work as it raises the whole system sound.
I confess I only use this when taking a shower and watching iPlayer Or Netflix show, or Spotify etc.

Seriously with both my Bluetooth headphones and wired earphones I'm not able to stand max volume level.

Volume levels with headphones

I'm interested in getting this phone, I checked on gsmarena and the freq response is perfect.I just wanna know if anyone's flashed CM if the volume levels on headphones are increased.From my past experience with sony phones, when I flashed CM the levels were always louder but I just wanna make sure before I make the move and throw 500 euros out there.Thanks upfront.

In my experience so far using poweramp, the volume is quite high, i will admit using the stock walkman app isnt as loud. btw unlocking your bootloader in order to install CM will break your camera.

Turned off the equalizer in poweramp and its still fairly good to be honest with you, turned off bass and treble in poweramp aswell, volume level was decent. i dont touch preamp, it distorts the sound too much for my liking. one thing i will mention is that i run a modified stock rom, the developer of the rom has included a mod which increases the headphone and external speaker volume, that may attribute why i get good volume levels and i am using some decent earphones too

[Q] Mic Test (Loud Environment) (Solved with video inside)

Does anyone knows how the Turbo performs in really loud environments when recording?, or if someone can make any test regarding this?.
I had the Nexus 4 and it was a really bad performance, and then changed to the Nexus 5 that was a small improve over the Nexus 4, but I would like to know if the Turbo performs better in clubs or concerts.
Thanks
:fingers-crossed:
Update Nov 26
Like no one answered before, I decided to record myself and put it here so everybody can see the quality of audio and video of this phone in loud environments. It's not so loud like a club or concert, but still music could be heard from my house to the street and the other houses around mine.
What level of loudness are you talking about? Traffic, busy streets? I don't have the habit of using the voice activated functions while walking on the streets, but I do live in a noisy neighborhood and so far the phone has been working well. I've used voice commands I traffic with good results too.

Maybe put it near a medium/big sound system at max volume would do the trick, I want to see how it works with concerts and really loud environments.
Thanks again.

Earphones for your Honor 7 ?

Wondering what earphones you use ? I have been eyeing the Huawei AM180 for some time now.

wow, not that cheap. but nice.
I'm not a great lover of mushroom type earphones, and like to be able to hear what's happening around me (especially walking through city centres). I do like in the ear though, and the older style ones are getting difficult to find, but I use these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121569462946 which are cheap, sound OK, and don't break too easily.

I think that in this case of you really like good quality of sound Koss porta pro is the best choice.

MI Hybrid is better
http://www.philips.fr/c-p/SHQ6300OR_00/casque-sport-bluetooth
12 grams, supra aural BT 3.0, waterproof. Via BT sound bad,like all,but Viper4droid,DDS for other philips with similar curve, and a upsampling via IRS to 32bit/48khz (44khz BT limited),sound pretty good in MP3 240/Spotify.
But if you conect via jack amd play loseless flac music,same config and add DD Atmos ,sound amazing. Maybe no so good ñike other HiFi top earphones ,but very very good,and 12g ,waterproof and 30 pounds,are nice,and you can connect other earphones to BT module,as well
Xiaomi Piston for sport and Sennheiser momentum Over Ear for pleasure
I think the starting question is wrong. It´s not the device that determinates the phones.
It is the wallet, first, then type of music you ear and personal preference in the way each one ears music.
Some bass heads like beats products, but what they listen is not the music as it was recorded: it's artificial enhancements, and that's fine. Some like more details in metallic instruments and others in voice and other that just want to listen to the music as they were at the studio at time of recording.
So it's up to you. You can check here.

Guys, Im checking some possibilities - do all pilot controls of Xiaomi Piston v3 work 100% with H7?
(they work if dual hybrid and Piston v2 work)

And does someone have newest version of Soundmagic E10M - ver.2 (with 3 button pilot)? This is also the question whether pilot works fully or not.
(This is proper Soundmagic type A / iPhone ver and middle button will work but dont know if volume buttons will)

best wireless headphone i have ever heared:
http://www.teufel.de/kopfhoerer/move-bt-p16096.html
yes i know it is not cheap, but it has the best sound i ever heard. Playtime up to 20h! Recharged in less than 2h! ( best, but of curse at my opinion )
combined with Neutron music player it sounds really fantastic
Try Audio Technica ATH-CLR100.

Seem great. Too bad BT doesn´t handle uncompressed music well. I mostly ear FLAC without any EQ.
couldn’t believe that you will be able to hear a difference between both ways on a Honor 7 because this is the wrong hardware for it!
But it should be good enough for a older man to hear good music during jogging etc.
Did you see, that the headset use Bluetooth 4.0 with apt-X® ?
Anyway, my suggested combination was the best quality i ever heard on my phone!
But this is also a results of using this great NEUTRON music player app too!!!

What do you mean when you say that Oneplus manipulates music? Is it the audio from the headphone jack and doesnt switching off the audio tuner fixes that?
So what is your result? Can you make it video with voice and post it somewhere?

I don't have any issues
But I have bought many devices past years. And what I learnt is that no mobile device is perfect according... You have to compromise somewhere...
Sometimes it's the
audio chipset( bad music quality)
Camera
Development
Ram
CPU
Looks
Screen
Or etc
You have to decide what you can compromise
So when you call someone, there is no complaint with your voice, or when you record video, a voice is clear, no muffled?

This app, well, at least for also enables the stereo function whilst in portrait mode which is really nice imo.
Thanks, there!
Excellent sound mod, just what I was looking for. Not only is the sound 20% louder, you are able to adjust bass & treble.
It affects all sound whether playing music, games or YouTube. Recommended!
Great work dude?
I can't hear any difference

I used it mostly with just earphones. I feel it makes a good difference, especially as the inbuilt equaliser is next to useless.

For me too... I was so sad because the default audio quality of my Huawei mate 9 was terrible compared to my old Sony. With poweramp player I've managed to repair it a bit but this mod did better job...
Wow.
What a difference it makes to my headphones and playback quality.
Even non headphone usages..
Night and Day differences with further tweaking.
Greatly appreciated!!!
