Headset volume not very loud - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I picked up my LG3 for sprint over the weekend. Loving the phone so far, coming from a HTC one M7. Definitely prefer the G3 in every aspect however one thing I noticed is the headset volume is not as loud. Which sucks because I use my phone at the gym and it's a big difference from the HTC one. Is there an app that you guys would recommend to solve this issue? I saw someone mention the Beats Audio app, but can't seem to find it...
OR am I stuck until we can get a root and load a kernel to fix this?

Which headset/earbuds are you using?
Which music player are you using?
I use PowerAmp for Android (I also purchased the unlocker).
This app has hands down the best equalizer/booster/settings for any aspect of listening to music.
Try the free version, if it has solved your problem you may consider buying the unlocker.
Hope this has helped you out

Thanks Man,
I can use the stock music player it comes with since it has an equalizer as well and noticed it does make it louder. However, I mostly stream through soundcloud and so the equalizer doesn't have an effect on that.

There are also equalizers that will alter all the sound coming out of the phone.
No matter what the audio source is.
This app does that, you might give it a try.

Yea it sucks i got skullcandy navigators and not even poweramp sounds good but after its rooted I can modify sound file and install viper like my s5 and then it will pump.

You can change all the audio settings using ViperAudio search XDA and you will find the page, i have used this and doubles the volume and clarity, must have android mod..

I am using klipsh ear buds and they are super loud. Hurts my ears to go past about 75%. And I don't have sensitive ears either. I have a jl w7 13.5 which blasts my ears about 2 hours a day

Whatsapp with Beats Audio

If you checked Conversation Sounds and plug in your headset while using Whatsapp, Beats Audio will be activated each time there is new msg in your conversation (while you in the conversation window)...
It doesn't hurt but it is not necessary
Yes. The beats audio symbol pops up in notifications bit only with headphones plugged in.notification sound is still the same.
Annoying but so was losing 4 out of 6 beats profiles.

I'm still hoping they will be reintroduced in a further update. I'm going with the newer code wad causing the skipping in music so they reverted back to the older one until they can fix it.
A guy can dream right? Tbf urbeats profile sounds nearly ad good as pros profile on my beats pros. Still would prefer to have pro back!!

Forget beats. It's gone from good to bad to useless.
Download poweramp and its 100x better than beats ever was.

LOL! Beats Pro and Beats Studio profiles was really great when i plugged my phone into my car's sound system. Poweramp just destroys everything and makes it sound like every bit of soundwave is distorted to the maximum (according to my opinion)
And one more thing: It's a bit hard to play Spotify through Poweramp Since i use Spotify or Grooveshark for all my music

Volume rise trick on stock!

Heya all,donno if this has been posted or not, but i found nifty trick to raise volume when listening to music on stock 4.1.1. (Headphone volume)
1. Plug in your headphones
2. Play a song on stock music player
3. Raise volume to max
4. Go to stock camera app and take a pic EDIT: You can also just "tap to focus", no need to take pic!
5. Your volume is raised!
I quess its something to do on how beats audio works and limits volume.
Let me know if it worked on your stock x,cheets

Yeah it's actually a bug... And a reboot definitely makes it go back to normal..i found that the volume rise causes some distortion so i dont like it much
The volume will rise everytime some notification or sound conflicts with music..

HTC One has build in amplifiers which amplifies the sound, that's why beats audio works on the speakers on the One!
In the case of our beloved HOX, the speakers would just crackle and distort... :silly:

It's only louder! Clarity is messed up! :laugh:
There's a limit to the HOX speaker, you can use all the sound mods out there, but in the end you can't improve the hardware with sense5 or anything other software update!
Lets hope we get the Sense 5 within next month!

P.S. I edited my post up, seems like touch to focus does the same effect

I was always wondering if someone else never found this little "glitch", i have been using it since last year and i find the sound on the HOX to be "unstable", as it is never the same loudness/bass, sometimes it gives more sometimes less, sometimes it is very good and sometimes crappy, but this helps everytime i use it is for my headphones and it works like a charm. :good:

Audio Equalizer's?

Anybody running an aftermarket eq or dsp pack? Looking to improve the audio. Tried a beats apk and it would only work intermittently, switched to player pro with the dsp plugin and audio is a little better. On my one x plus i had the viper rom with beats audio and it sounded great and had a bunch of different headphone profiles built in. Id like to get something like that again. Anybody found something that works. I am rooted on the at&t model if you need to kno.

Improve Audio?
I think Poweramp still the king
With tuning at Equalizer and Tone
audio quality sucks on every Qualcom chipsets... that makes me to come back to my iphone
I just downloaded Equalizer from Smart Android Apps last night. BIG improvement to the sound quality, and the "Unlocked" version is only two bucks.

How to get max of sound quality for music listening?

Yo,
I like to listen to music, so i'd like to tweak the sound parameters on the phone to my taste.
What can be done in this direction?
Maybe you can recommend me some apps that are good to play with EQ and other sound influenting factors?
Poweramp.
If you mean like full system equalizer, there ain't any good one out there. They tend to make loudspeaker really quiet.

Beats Audio or something similar

Hi all,
Can someone recommend something like the Beats audio installer or a similar music driver?
I tried one from another thread, it works great and improves sound (headphone) dramatically but music does not play via Bluetooth. It continues to play on phone speaker.
Thanks.

You need to go into settings, audio, advance tweaks, uncheck direct volume control and check MusicFX. Turn off equalizer, tone, and limit. Click on tone/vol and check MusicFX.
And there you go. You can from there turn on the equalizer or tone to add additional tweaks to the sound.
This should fix the problem people have been having using viper4android and poweramp.

Hi guys,
Thank you so much! Your suggestions did the trick!!!
I spent ages going through forums and instructions but this was it.
Which version?
Trying to figure out which version of the app to download, the Chinese is throwing me off though.... Which version are you guys using? I've got a good set of headphones sitting here ready to go.... I'm all sorts of giddy over anything that involves possible eargasms.
Edit:
nevermind, I'm dumb tonight. this just made cramming for calc 2 infinitely less crappy, though!

Here you go! Turns out the version on Play isn't an official apk, so that's the V4A blog page. If you dink around a little bit, you can find some more goodies on there to maximize the sound quality of your headphones.
It's pretty nice with the surround sound mod, too
