[HACK]Louder Speaker on Nook Color

---

Pretty straight forward..the speakers on these devices are far from great..I recently refurbished my HTC EVO 4G and of course I had to find some way to recycle these parts..

I took apart my nook and placed the Speaker from my HTC EVO 4G on the contacts direcrly on the board. I used some tape to hold it in place..then re assembled.

This is a picture of the two speakers side by side..HTC speaker on the right in the stock location ..
Also what I did was unfold the contact leads on the speaker..I didn't need to do tht..but I will order a new speaker and do a proper write up..

I used the DSP app and adjusted the levels..
Its all proper now...

I shall answer all questions and follow via my twitter @iamsucio please use #nookspeaker

I will update the questions from twitter in a post..

Enjoy

put an "i" in front of that URL...

I would love to know how to do something like this...
Anyway, just thought I'd drop in the picture here

Hrrrm.... It seems it likes running off the sidebar. Have a link http://i.imgur.com/63SNj.jpg

$3 on ebay!!!!

yeap..its pretty straight forward and super cheap..i just layed the speaker on the contacts and held it in place with doublesided tape..so when i reassembled it wouldnt move..

played around with the DSP settings and BOOM!!..

i havent gotten around to ordering a new one..but i did get it a touchstone charging kit that was dumb cheap and this weekend i plan on tackling that task ..which will give me the opportunity to get in there and take better pictures..

putting this speaker in is about as easy as legos..

the nook was designed pretty well and much like the HTC phones..

If you want a MUCH easier solution that works pretty well just spend a 1.50 or whatever and buy volume+ from the play store. Works pretty well

There's a problem with going that route. You're still using the same crappy speaker, just making it louder, and if you make it too loud for the speaker, it sounds terrible.

If you are using CM 7 on the nook color there is an app on the playstore called "nook tweaks" that will boost your speaker volume. It has all kinds of functions for the external and internal speaker.
