[Q] Speaker Volume: Stock vs AOSP

[PartimusPrime]

I had been running Lifeless for the longest time until recently that I was able to figure out a way to get whatsapp working on AOSP ROMs. I noticed the speaker volume on stock ROMs is louder than the speaker volume on AOSP ROMs. Is there a way to adjust the speaker volume on AOSP ROMs so its as loud as stock ROMs? Thanks!


Edit: In-call volume is really low too... I noticed some AOSP kernels have louder speaker volume but not in-call volume.

I'm interested to find out about this as well, specifically for headset volume. AOSP volume is way lower than stock.

Same here, the volume is much lower on CM 10.1 than it was on stock software. I've also noticed that phone calls won't play through the 3.5mm audio jack, although that is probably a separate issue.

As an aside, the numbers are meaningless, but I use my phone for music in my car, and while 30 used to be a good comfortable volume level (though certainly loud, but that's my preference), now I have to go to 40 to get approximately the same effect. I also have the loudness compensation in the DSP equalizer set to "stronger," now, which I wouldn't have done before.

If anyone has any info on any of that, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: Max volume on my car stereo (a basic Alpine model) is 40, I noticed today. I'm probably tearing my eardrums apart, but I have the phone turned all the way up too and it's not very loud (relative to my previous phone, a Motorola Photon 4G, or stock LG software on this phone) at all.

Hey guys, I have found that if you are into the changing and tweaking if you have 'trickster mod' some kernels you can actually change the fixed gain under "specific" then "sound control" hope that helps

Is there an option for in-call volume?

you know.. im not sure.. i would assume if you turn up the fixed gain throughout the speakers it would apply to all scinerios. i have noticed that during even the screen lock it gets LOUD! sorry im not able to look at the moment im trying to figure some things out on MIUI

I figured that I'd bring this post back up since its pretty much relevant to my question.

All stock ROMs for this phone, from ringtone to notifications, have a crisp sound to them but AOSPs in my experience don't. The sound seems tinny or "grainy" if you will. Is there a fix for this I'm overlooking?

I haven't found one... The weird part is some say they have no issues while others (like you and me) notice the difference.

Update: using TricksterMod donate and tweaking the sound settings definitely helped the volume. I've attached a screenshot with my current settings. Actually, the phone's loudspeaker sounds too loud for it's own good on max system volume. I keep it turned down a couple of notches. Headphone volume is much improved, though. And I don't have to worry about it being grainy when I'm using the headphone port, of course.

I am on official CyanogenMod 10.2, the latest nightly, 10-11-13. And running Smoocha 2.0 kernel. Smooth as silk, now, and the data issues are gone, for me.
