;p nah to be honest, if it's no blowing you away then it's faulty! It's hard to explain how loud it should be...
pick a song I'll record it for you so you can hear the sound of mine

I agree with the others, it startled me upon the first startup.
This is probably the first phone that I don't have the volume up to 100% all the time. In contrast, I'm using around 30% volume and still feel its loud..
If you don't feel its loud, go replace it ;)

Yep that's EXACTLY what I was saying I mean it's loud but not like in the youtube review videos that I've seen on the Internet where everybody's keeping it below hundred percent I'm at like a hundred percent and not happyit's definitely not blowing me away its loud though but not blowing me away loud

Don't compress your mp3 files or video files! Make sure the bitrate is high enough.

I am reading threads that's complaining about how loud the volume is even on the lowest setting yet I find this thread stating that the volume isn't that loud on the highest setting. :/

Kinda contradicting to be honest.

Best to turn beats off when in a big room or a loud enviroment when using the speakers.

Beats on is great when I'm at home and it's not too noisy as you can really hear the low end.

But to be honest I usually leave beats off unless I'm using headphones.

Dude I'm definitely not getting that lol it's just loud like any other gs 3 phone lol

So only in youtube it doesn't sound loud?

Did you try the ringtones? Even thou I did not get my phone yet since it will ship Monday, I was testing the AT&T one they had on demo. Just simply playing Ringtone at the lowest setting was quite audible and didn't want to put it up louder since I was the only customer in the store and there was a bunch of employes standing nearby in proximity to where I was.

Probably be safe to say if the ringtones are not loud either, then it could be problem.

Don't get me wrong, it's loud. It's loud enough. However while streaming music for instance, if it could go up a notch or 2 more, it would be even better imo.

    Alright guys I got it. http://db.tt/XrjlOifs . Now your going to have to extract this and take the tfa folder out of the etc folder. change it out with the tfa folder in your Rom.zip file and reflash your Rom with a factory reset. This needs to be flashed fresh. Otherwise you will not notice a difference.

    Incase you all are wondering what I did, was I found a 1.27 Rom and I took all the sound and audio files out of the ect and put them in the 1.29 ect. That fixed it all. Hope you enjoy and hope it is what you all wanted. I told you it could be done :)

    Interesting, didn't see anybody give me any credit. Got to love xda, this is why I don't get into the big developing scene anymore. Oh well. We will see who all gets the louder speakers when I have it all ironed out. Thanks for everyone helping and testing this stuff for me. You all are the reasons why I like to help.

    It should be deafening, if you put it to your ear

    No , mine continues to go up. My volume at half way is what used to be full volume on 1.29. It still continues to raise the volume past halfway. Not a lot but it is noticeable. You notice more trebble. I assume this has to be how 1.27 is.

    Also it sounds if it where to go up any higher that it would be a lot of distortion and possibly blow the speakers.

    Speaking of which, I still have faith that I can raise the volume in the snd_soc files. Switching those files out didn't do anything because they are a lot alike volume wise. If we were to raise the volumes then do a fresh flash with them or put it in root explorer that special way I guarantee it will work.
