Just purchased an AT&T GPad 7 v410 and I can barely hear the audio on highest setting.

Is this a bug or do I have a bad unit?

Note: on my LG G3 I had to root it & change settings internally to increase the speaker volume but the G3 wasn't anywhere as bad as this.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Did you ever solve the problem?

I have the exact same issue. Turns out there's a xml file in /system/etc that has the audio output settings. Unfortunately /system is read-only and although my tablet is rooted I can't remount /system as rw. Thus I can't edit the xml. This is really hacking me off.

A brute force solution is to buy a portable amp like the FiiO A3, but I chafe at spending the extra money when a simple file edit might do.

UPDATE: See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ut-able-to-access-super-user-in-shell-android (Answer 60)
This is the only way I'm able to gain write access. Unfortunately editing mixer_paths.xml had no effect. Maybe something else needs to be edited as well?
