Just found this out as I'm listening to SoundCloud. I open the Kodi app and the sound boosts dramatically for about 5 mins. Then it goes back to the original. The volume button is at max all the time.
It implies to me that the volume we are told is the max is not actually the max and therefore how can I get this volume boost permanently without having to install a third party sound boosting app?
kodi itself has a booster built into the program itself that you can adjust. i think they limit volume to prevent people from blowing the speakers out

I think I just about destroyed my hearing this morning starting up some tunes on TCPMP. With volume level at 1, it was so loud that my ears are in pain right now. I can never seem to get the volume to work properly with the headphones that came with the device.. either the music is too loud, phone too soft, system noises too loud, etc.. Has anyone had this issue? Also, what's up with only 6 volume level settings? Is there some kind of a 3rd party volume control around that might fix some of my problems?
normalise them with any wav/mp3 editors 1st...
have you tried adjusting your headphone volume? Probably it's set to too loud thats why even at volume 1 it's blasting.
1)Use the volume slider on the headphone cable
2)Set TCPMP not to use the system volume. That way I always have the system sound at max setting, and then set between TCPMP's setting and the headphones' one.
TCPMP volume etc.
I have the system volume disabled and use the pre-amp's volume on TCPMP, which, incidentally, you can set at 0%, 25%, 75% and 100%. 25% is MORE than adequate when watching movies etc. I only use MORTPLAYER for music and I also don't use the system volume.
I leave system volume at 100%.
Love the phone but I think the audio volume output is totally junk.
Has anyone used *#0002*28346# - Audio control utility. or somethign similar to boost audio output on the audio jack?
Which audio output would this apply to? Or there just one? My Focus doesn't act like there's just one control.
Audio output level of the Zune player is definitely very low for me. Audio output level for the phone (ear) is just 'OK', but the speakerphone is very loud. Even if I turn it down to zero I can still hear the conversation. So strange.
... well I just went through that diagnosis screen and couldn't make heads or tails out of it. If anyone happens to figure that out, and determine if we can boost audio output from the headset jack that would be much appreciated!
I am specifically talking about the headset. I think the focus breaks it down like this: headset, speakerphone, earpiece.
Like you said, speakerphone is fine, if not too fine.
Earpiece is barely controllable while the headset (3.5 mm jack) is god awful.
There is currently a WP7 bug that causes game audio to impact audio on the phone. For example, if you are playing a game and you turn audio down to 15 (50%) and then exit the game, the highest volume level you can reach on the phone is 50%. Even if you then turn the volume up to 30 (100%), you are actually getting a level of 50%.
If you are encountering this problem, you'll notice that rebooting your phone will cause earbud/headphone volume to increase dramatically. An easier way to work around it is to go back into your game (any game with audio) and turn the volume back up all the way. If you then exit the game, audio levels should be good.
Microsoft is aware of this.

Interesting, thanks for the heads up!
I've tried *#0002*28346# but I don't know how to enhance the sound.
The sound is terrible in Focus.
Is there any way to install HTC Sound Enhancer? HTC HD7 it's much better volume in earphones.
I went to *#0002*28346#. Clicked read. Set system, class, and device gain to 10 (was 5 allthough some report it was 7). Volume was much higher via the headphone jack. I then read this thread regarding the game volume problem. I went into a game and put the volume all the way up. Went back to play audio via the zune hub. Volume was back to the low volume that it was originally at. I went back to *#0002*28346# and sure enough, The values reverted back to 5. So it appears the games are setting those values back to default every time you change the volume from within a game. I will have to test again, going into a game and not changing the volume to see if that too will reset it to default.
Do you guys mind complaining in this thread ..http://social.answers.microsoft.com...ad9-5e12-465d-a0fb-b9465179b436?prof=required
MS is still not taking any notice. It is kind of appalling to see such a nice phone as the Focus and Omnia suffer under such a silly bug.
Thanks Denis!!!!
It worked!
1 - PLUG YOUR EARPHONE
2 - ##634# TAPE CALL
3 - in diagnosis mode tape *#0002*28346#
4 - click GET on Device Gain
5 - in 'device gain' leave number 5, set 1500 (max) and -1100 (low)
6 - click set
7 - MAKE SURE AUDIENCE.CFG IS ON
reboot your phone (turn off, turn on)
Has anyone had a problem with the speakerphone volumes under kitkat?
I seem to have a mixed bag of proper volume and then sometimes (mostly really) very low volume, despite all volume settings being put to maximum.
I also use an app called Auto Speaker (which auto switches speaker on if proximity sensor detects you're not near) this does work as expected i.e phone switches to speaker and back to normal, but still has the same volume issues if I make a call with this app disabled.
Sometimed it happen to me. The max volume is too low, i use to low (yes low) the volume and high it again to restore the audio. It is a very bad bug. Hope Motorola will solve it sono.
Sent from my XT1032 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Same here, some apps/games the sound is barely audible when set to max both in game and on the handset yet if I load another app play music or watch YouTube its too loud.
Also the volume increments curve too dramatically towards max volume, max is loud but a click or 2 down and it sounds like the volume has been reduced by half.
I didn't give it much thought until now but I might mention it on the Motorola forums so they cab pass it on to the Moto G developers.
I have the same problem . Always have to restart the phone to fix it but the problem automatically returns after .
Ezarc : they responded to you ?
Sorry for my bad english
Hi, I noticed the other day a way to get duplicated the volume in a AXO 7, I have a global version (europe). Here is what I do:
First, I only manage to do it with Poweramp alpha. You need to have any headphone with remote plugged, ensure the hi-fi mode is on, set volume at 30 or 40%, then play from Poweramp, volume will be low, pause with the headphone remote, and play again with the headphone remote, and the volume literally double.
It might be a glitch, but for some reason when you pause and unpause with the remote of the headphones, the volume increase a lot, first time I almost damaged my ears, as the volume was already set to 80%, I needed to reduced it to 40%.... I tried this already with a Sony mdr-1a and RHA-750, with both happened the same.
Hope it helps.
Hello folks,
I've got a Fire HD 8 (7th gen). Originally I've had this issue where my volume fluctuates for some unknown reason, so I did a hard reset hoping it would help.
It didnt... but I got to playing around and kind of stumbled upon something.
If I played music on Pandora at max system volume, it was still pretty quiet. However if I open Silk browser and navigate to a youtube video, without playing it, my Pandora volume would skyrocket.
Then, I closed all my apps and tried Amazon music instead. Volume was nice and loud.
Conclusion? My theory is that Amazon intentionally boosts the volume of their native services/apps in an effort to be anti competitive. What's the best way for people to listen to your music? Make it louder than everyone else's!
My question to the community: has anyone stumbled upon an app/process that would contribute to such behavior? The general answer people get to volume issues is to "Download a volume boosting app", but I TRUELY think that this is just sabotage on Amazon's part, and possibly something that can be fixed with or without root.
Thanks again.
I have the same Issue with my Amazon Fire HD 10 Tablet 7th Gen.
I have an Anker Soundcore mini and the Sound is not stable, because it looks like it goes up and down and sometimes when youtube plays next video, the sound get off, connection get lost.
So my Question is is there anyone they have it too and can fix the issue?
I have also the Issue with the volume it goes down and up and off.
So anyone a Solution?
I have contact Anker by himself, but the Company says, the Issue is maybe on the Tablet only. Because the Chipset is about 95 % Compatible to the Devices on the Market.

This really isn't what I'm looking for. This isn't a volume booster problem.

Amazon's apps are nice and loud. Most non-Amazon apps are low and quiet.
A volume booster app is a band-aid on a much bigger, much more obvious issue.
There is something it the system intentionally boosting the volume for Amazon music, Silk, and anything else, - or - something in the system lowering the volume for non-amazon apps.
I'm trying to bring light to a blatant case of anti-competitiveness and a more permanent solution.
