What I found most helpful on my Captivate was (1) installing a kernel that includes Voodoo Sound mods, and (2) downloading the Voodoo Control app to control it. Turns out the captivate has a fantastic sound chip and can put out a lot more volume if needed.



good luck!

That would be via the 3.5mm jack. I'm taking about the earpiece the speaker above the att logo used for calls. There is no way to boost its volume. I'm definite it needs to be replaced. Just need someone to confirm which part of the 2 do I need to get it fixed. Also I got a work around to the capacitive buttons by using the nav bar on slim ics
