The speaker volume in my OPT is very low. i cant hear my phone in crowded places.. the notification sound is also very low...so much that i cant even hear it when i keep it just 3metres apart...
I have rooted my phone just to edit the speaker volume...
Can anyone tell me if we can increase the speaker volume through it.!

You can activate the Audio Tuner and try.
I've set the maxxdialog from 0 to 50, and can't save this setting, when I open AudioTuner, this settings are allways 0!

I would second this, use the Audio Tuner, when I just set it to "game" i think the sound is much louder.

This happens when the mixer_path.xml doesn't have the correct permissions or you have disabled one of the audio service or audio tuner app.
try the following:
1. Setting the correct permissions on the mixer_path files rw-r--r--
2. Setting the correct permissions on the mixer_path files mixer_paths_i2s.xml
3. Enable the Audio Tuner service and app.

How to enable audio tuner in OnePlus two please tell me

I listen to the internet radio through the loudspeaker, never with earphones. Consequently I can't use the audiobooster so I was wondering, is there a standalone graphic equalizer that will work without having headphones attached? I use Wunder Radio.
Also, as a secondary issue, the volume control is a problem. I have to use the up/down volume control on the side of the handset but this means that when I lower the radio volume (even the lowest setting is way too loud), my system volume is then on super-quiet setting after I've closed my radio....and I don't hear my text alerts etc.
Is there a way to adjust the volume in apps without adjusting the phone volume settings?
I'm not sure about the graphic equalizer but you can sort your sound issue by going to Settings>Sound & Display and switching the Single volume setting to off. That will allow you to change system sounds (including the volume of your radio software) without affecting the ring volume.
Use SRS WOW. Search it.

It is precisely the system volume which is my problem, this governs text alert notifications amongst other things. Once you have set system volume levels in the sounds menu, they should stay 'set'. I don't like this ability to adjust them using the volume control on the side of the handset - that should be reserved solely for in-call volume adjustments and application volume adjustments.

Anyway to make the external speaker volume louder through a hack or app? Its way to low making it it useless for car navigation but more importantly I can't hear it ringing when I have it in my pocket.
After we manage to run custom roms from NAND, you can use DSPManager, but in the meantime, you can hack your AudioPara.CSV is you know how to.

they could probably increase it with a firmware update not 100% sure
as for ring volume as a work around just open an audio editing program like audacity and increase the volume of an mp3 that you plan to use as a ringtone then copy it to the device and use that it should be louder cause you have increased the volume of the mp3
its nto a fix for everything but its a work around for the ringer at least

AudioPara.CSV is a windows mobile file. This in an android device. Your instructions are useless.
I am also looking to increase audio volume. Mine is quite low, I cant even use speakerphone properly. You cant hear the person.
I also own the samsung galaxy and the desire hd is about half the volume, if that.
I can hardly hear anyone on this phone and the music/podcast playback is ridiculously low. Did anyone in HTC actually use this phone before manufacturing it?
Their donkeys did...
I dont find it that low.
Was about to set a alarm signal and it was too low to hear.
But instead I choose to use a file from the music folder and
it was much louder.
Seamed strange, but the volume is OK!
I dont know what I am doing wrong but I find the sound level extremely poor for calls
I tried with a bluetooth headset, the outside speaker and the jack with my mp3 headset
it's pretty weird since when I play videos or music I am impressed by how loud I can push the Tab...
I am on AT&T with JMC (but was the same on JM6). And I set the sound at max
anybody has the same issue? Am I doing something wrong? Or is there any sound booster app for calls? (and is it necessary?)
Thanks for your help
My Tab isn't phone-enabled, but since you're new to Android, I thought I should point out that there are multiple volume settings, and in-call volume is one of them. Menu Key -> Settings -> Sound Settings -> Volume should give you all the sliders (Ringtone, Media, Alarm, System, Notification...). There are apps/widgets too that let you get to/change these settings without having to go into the settings menu every time (audio manager has been a decent widget for me). Until you're actually in the call the hardware rocker is usually doing the ringtone or media volume.
When I use mine with Skype 60% is usually blaringly loud for me, and I don't even have the system or media volume maxed out.
Sorry if it's something you know you've done, but thought it might help. If not, maybe someone else has had the same issue and solved it.

yes this I had figured out and set at the maximum
Everything non call related is really strong... It's conversation from normal calls that is ridiculously low
Am I the only one ?? What's wrong with my tab ?
Anyone with an opinion about this ?
Voice-enabled on AT&T with JM6. Have good results with the built-in speakers and cheap Nokia BH-214 stereo Bluetooth earbuds. I ordered the OEM earbuds, but I do understand that the 3.5mm jack port in finicky. Is your Bluetooth 2.1 or newer? Do you have many open applications when trying to place or receive calls? I've notice the sound stutter a bit on the speakers when I've got several apps open.
Here's something I noticed, when in call using my BT Headset, the volume slider sometimes says its on max but the output isnt. Try to lower or increase your volume. Once you hear the max level beep, it gets louder.
Im on a SingTel Tab by the way.

Thank you, will try right away
Edit: yeah I can definitely reduce the volume but my max was my actual max. As anybody tried to compare the volume on the speaker when playing music whith the volume on the speaker when on a call... It's like 5 to 10 times higher volume on a call !! And then same issue on a headset

As mentioned I tried it with everything I could... The default external speaker, a simple stereo headset (Not bluetooth), a bluetooth headset. They all give the same. Low volume
If you don't like volume in speaker, headset, bluetooth....You can change settings in "hidden" Audio menu. There you can change volume of individual ouput, but be careful!!!!!
Before change anything, make sure you can put it back the same number if you are not satisfied or have problem ..so wright it somewhere anything you wish to change.
Good Luck with experiment. If I remember correctly(from my old Samsung i780-Windows phone) "TX" settings is for output and "RX" for imput, but I can be wrong, so be careful.

what I do is, when in a call, I lower the volume by about 2, then increase it until i hear the max volume beep. The moment i hear it, the volume on my headset usually jumps up.
I have the same problem with the speaker volume. At maximum you cannot hear it. The bluetooth seems to work OK. IIRC JK5 software seemed to work correctly.

So I guess for you too, music or movies play with a high volume on the speakers whereas for calls it's rather low volume ?
Yes bluetooth or headset I can hear but still quite low volume compared with music...

My problem is specifically for calls. Anything else is fine and working well. That's the weird issue... I dont want to boost the volume for anything else!
That's pretty weird... I have been playing with the tab and I found out that for calls, the highest level I can have (by hear) is two notches below the highest. That's by far the loudest I get (If I push higher the sound decreases)
Am I the only one ? It really pisses me off.... I don't know how it can be like that (I am on JMC ROM after flashing a JM6 ROM over the JK5 from Russia (I am on an AT&T Tab flashed to get phone working)
Someone else get the same experience ?
I can confirm that the max 'in call' volume is two notch below the max !!! And I have the same tab/setting of the OP.
Aren't there some codes you can enter to adjust the volume level on calls and music, etc.?? like the Galaxy S?

Thanks ! Ina sense I am a littel bit relieved to see I am not the only one !
Such a stupid bug. Come on Samsung...
FYI it is fixed with the firmware JME
Sound level is much more acceptable and the highest level is not anymore two notched below the max
I want to increase the incall volume of the handset/earpice (whatever you call it) but i cant find the value of it in the mixer_paths.xml file
If you have another way to do so, i will glad to know how. Since sounds mod dont work with dorimanx kernel (which im using), i cant boost the handset volume and its too low, i always ask people on the other side to speak louder

It's < CTL name= RX 1 Digital Volume value= 60
But I don't think that changing it will help I'm pretty sure that dorimax kernel will prevent it from actually increasing the volume no matter what you set the volume at but hey it's worth a try
My suggestion would be to switch to simple kernel and use my all volumes booster mod which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2769799

I really appreciate your work, but i cant give up on battery life and smooth operating phone for louder in-call earpiece volume, so i think i will stick with dorimanx.
Anyways, i tried changing the earpiece volume in build.prop but it didnt work, and you are saying that changing the mixer_paths.xml wont help either, so you have any other solution?

Sorry I wasn't saying it won't work it's just that I don't think it'll work you can give it a try and see no harm no foul but besides that t the only other things I could suggest is trying these apps first try viper4android which I highly recommend and second volume plus app
But V4A cant boost the in-call volume,it only affects speaker, headphones jack and bluetooth or usb i dont remember. Im using this app, its great, but i cant find any eariece option
I have edited few xml files but usually i get nothing, once i got just a beeping noise.
If you guys know what to do please help me, thank you!!

System/etc/audio then search for mixer there will pop up 15 files one of them is it... unfortunately i don't know which of them because I'm not tried it on this phone...
(If you find which it is and edit dont forget to restart afterwards otherwise it won't work)
I suggest getting Viper4Android installed if you can.
It includes a Xtra Loud option that boosts the volume.

This is also possible with Viper.
For example by activating certain Convolvers. You can find suitable ones here on XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216193).
Just remember to activate Expert UI settings in Viper to display all the options.
