Sound is one of the most important features of any smartphone or tablet, so it is vital that the sound be loud enough and of high quality. In this article we will talk about how to adjust the volume on Android, as well as improve the sound quality.
How to adjust volume on Android
Of course, we won’t talk about professional sound tuning, but we will try to touch on the necessary basics. Sound quality can be divided into several main parameters:
- Sound volume - it should be sufficient to hear the phone ringing in a very noisy place or listen to music like from a tape recorder
- Accurate reproduction of the audio file, matching the amplitude to the desired frequency
- Amount of noise - you are unlikely to enjoy listening to a “wheezing” or “choking” speaker at full or even medium volume
And we will dwell on each of these parameters in more detail. Let's start with the last one.
Sound clarity on Android
The amount of noise on Android directly depends on the hardware of your device, or more precisely on the audio chip and sound output device, be it a speaker, headphones or external speaker. In upper devices price segment Usually, high-quality audio chips with excellent sound performance are installed, and as the cost of the device decreases, the quality of the audio chip also decreases, with rare exceptions. With an external speaker, this trend continues, so it is almost impossible to reduce the amount of noise on a well-tuned device.
This means we should pay more attention to the other two sound parameters on Android.
Improving sound quality on Android
The second indicator may be the most subjective, so most likely you will need to customize it for yourself. Many firmware for Android have equalizers already installed, which will help with setup Android sound. But we will consider a universal method, a special application that has proven itself among thousands of users. Its only drawback is the need Root is right, to change system files.
Let's take a closer look at the program and find out how to adjust the sound quality on Android. To get started, download the program and install it on your Android device. Next, let's go point by point:
- Launch the program
- It asks you to update the driver, we agree and select the desired sound quality - High quality, Medium and Economy (it is worth noting that the quality level affects battery consumption)
- After selecting the quality, it will ask for permission to use Root is right, we provide
- After updating the driver, do not press anything, reboot the device
- Now you can start setting up the sound
Viper4android allows you to achieve simply incredibly juicy and high-quality sound, even with the low initial potential of the device.
We will consider the most best options settings of this feature-rich application.
In the program, press the menu button, “ Interface” and select “ Expert" Now you have access to all the sound settings functions in the application.
In addition, the program has the ability to install ready-made driver settings from such popular “improvers” as Beats Audio, iPod, Sony Ericsson and others. To do this, scroll down to Convolver, turn it on and select “ Pulse”, initially, of course, there will be nothing there, but you can download required file settings ( .irs) via this link and install it in the ViPER4Android/Kernel folder in the device memory. After that, you can select the installed enhancer in the “ Pulse" Next, adjust all other settings to your liking to the best level.
If, after numerous settings, the desired effect of improving sound quality does not follow, there may be some kind of conflict with another program. Try disabling any other sound enhancers in your firmware, and also try enabling compatibility with other players in the program settings.
Finally, let's move on to the most important question: How to increase and adjust the volume on Android? First we need to understand what volume we want to increase. This could be the volume of an external speaker, in order to better hear a call or listen to music, the volume in headphones or a headset, or the volume of the Android speaker, in order to better hear the interlocutor, or maybe the volume of the Android microphone.
First, let's make sure that we have increased the Android volume as much as possible in the device settings. To do this, go to " Settings» -> « Sound» -> « Volume" In this menu you can adjust the volume level of calls and SMS notifications, the alarm volume, as well as the volume of music and video.
It is very nice to listen to music through a loud speaker, especially when it is built into your phone or tablet, but in most cases, the manufacturer of Android devices does not turn the volume to maximum, so we have the opportunity to increase the volume of Android using various methods. One such way is engineering menu. However, if you are afraid of clicking the wrong thing, it is better to use a safer method.
Unfortunately, not all smartphones have access to the engineering menu, so this the method will work for devices with Mediatek processor and some others. So, to enter the engineering menu you will need to enter a code through the dialer; the codes can be found in the table below.
If your device has an MTK chipset and has root rights, you can download the application, it will greatly facilitate the setup process.
After entering the engineering menu, you need to find the Audio section, everything is hidden there:
- Normal Mode- in normal mode, without external audio devices
- Headset Mode- mode of connected headset (headphones)
- Loud Speaker Mode- mode speakerphone
- Headset_LoudSpeaker Mode- hands-free mode with a connected headset
- Speech Enhancement- phone conversation mode
Choose desired mode for settings - Normal Mode, then you need to select the type of device being configured:
- Sip- Internet call volume
- Mic- microphone volume
- Sph- earpiece volume (for talking on the phone)
- Sph2- second earpiece (rare)
- Sid- do not touch (problems are possible!)
- Media– what we need! Media playback volume (Music, Games, Videos)
- Ring- also, what you need! ringer volume level
- FMR- FM radio volume
Attention! Before changing the volume settings, overwrite the factory settings so that if the change is unsuccessful, you will return to the previous settings.
Most likely we need the maximum level, namely 6. And we change the value to the desired one, a maximum of 255, but I do not recommend setting it, the sound quality may deteriorate and the service life of the speaker will decrease, the optimal value will be 220-240.
In the video you can see an example of setting up the program:
This method is more universal, you just need to download the program to increase the volume of Android - Volume+ and launch it. Next, select the desired mod, as in the engineering menu. Speaker- this is an external speaker, Headset- headset, and Bluetooth - wireless headset or column.
- Turn on Speaker Modifications
- Click on Volume Level
- Select the desired gain level, up to +4
- You can also immediately boost the bass - Bass Enhance
That's all, in a few minutes we increased the Android volume to the desired level.
Volume+. This application will allow you to fine-tune the sounds on your mobile device. It will be especially relevant for music lovers.
Here is a program that allows you to increase the volume and frequency of sounds on your mobile android device. It is incredibly simple and convenient to use. As for the operating principle of the utility, it is similar to DSP manager. With its help, you can customize the sound of your smartphone’s own speakers, in headphones and when connecting a headset. In this case, the settings are made and function completely independently of each other.
The sounds produced through speakers and headphones are fundamentally different. This way, you will be spared the need to constantly change settings depending on how exactly the sounds are played. The functionality of the application is truly impressive. You can easily boost the bass, change the reverberation, and adjust the sound using the equalizer. However, it's worth noting that some options may not work on certain devices. One of the main advantages of this program is also the availability of ready-made presets.
Peculiarities:
- This application is notable for the following aspects:
- Manual equalizer adjustment.
- Availability of many ready-made presets.
- Detailed sound settings.

An optimally selected sound volume allows you to hear an important call, watch a movie or listen to music with pleasure. You can adjust the sound on Android separately for applications, notifications, calls and players. The user has several ways to increase the volume, including through the engineering menu - they are described below.
On smartphones and tablets running Android, you can adjust the sound using the volume key. The key is a “rocker” - pressing up increases the volume, and clicking down decreases it. If an application or movie is open at the moment you press the key, the media volume will change, and if the desktop, the call volume will change.
If the sound spontaneously switches to “Quiet”, check your smartphone for viruses. Remove applications that have access to volume control and evaluate the situation. Also check if the “Ring louder in your pocket” mode is enabled. To do this, go to settings, select “Calls - Call louder in your pocket.” If necessary, disable the feature.
You can configure sound settings in the standard settings of your smartphone or tablet:
- Go to Settings and select Sound.
- Select "Volume".
- Use the sliders to adjust the volume values for each type of sound - notifications, calls, applications.
- Click "OK" to save the settings.
Depending on the version of Android, the settings item may be called “Melodies and Sound”, Sound, etc.

Tricks to boost sound on Android
An external speaker solves the problem of insufficient volume on a smartphone or tablet when other methods do not help. The speaker is a small device with a 3.5 mm plug that is inserted into the headphone jack or connected via Bluetooth. Cost - from 700 rub.
A lifehack to increase the volume - while playing a video or playing music, position the smartphone with the speaker towards the painted wall. The sound will be reflected from the surface and at the same time amplified.
Is it possible to remove the volume limit?
Android smartphones have a maximum volume limit to protect the device's speakers and users' eardrums. The engineering menu allows you to increase the upper limit - the Max item. Vol. The maximum value is 255 units. It is impossible to set the value higher, and it is not required - otherwise the speakers will not stand it.
If you do not want to contact service menu, use Volume application Unlock:
- Install the program from the Play Store.
- Go to the application and activate the Enable Volume Power item.
The program does not remove the limitation, but increases the maximum value.
Test the methods described above to increase the volume and choose the best one for your device. Work with the engineering menu carefully - incorrect settings can lead to problems with the sound of your smartphone or tablet.
Not all mobile devices reproduce sound equally loudly - for some, the ringing tone is too quiet, while for others, the sound switched to headphones exceeds all permissible limits. How to cope with this imbalance and even out the sound? Is it possible to do this without visiting service center? Let's figure it out.
Any gadgets running Android OS have such flexible system control, that they can be changed beyond recognition - customized, thereby opening up the widest range hidden possibilities, and customize any functionality of the system, including sounds. Not all basic assemblies are ideal; sometimes the sound reproduction of the device’s speakers does not work correctly - in some applications it can reach the maximum value, while in others it is barely audible. You can adjust the speakers in the most different ways– both standard and using a menu of special settings or applications.
All devices have a standard key for volume control - usually located on the side panel. By clicking on it you can set the desired parameter. But if this does not suit you, then you can do this from the main settings menu. Here you can make settings for any application, set a ringtone for a particular contact.
To change the default sound, you need to do this:
- Open the main settings menu and go to the section "Melodies and Sound";
- In the right corner, click on the gear icon - you will find yourself in the desired settings section;
- Set the desired sound parameters.
This will result in the same pitch for all apps and calls. But if you need to change specific values, for example, for incoming voice calls or messages, then you need to do this in the “Sound Profile” section in each of the desired applications.
Through the functionality of the engineering menu
This method is suitable for advanced users who, in case of failure, can return all the standard settings back. But! Each model has its own commands to call up this special settings menu:
- For models from Samsung: *#*#8255#*#* or *#*#4636#*#* ;
- For gadgets from NTS: *#*#3424#*#* or *#*#4636#*#* or *#*#8255#*#* ;
- Combination for devices manufactured by Sony: *#*#7378423#*#*
- For devices manufactured by Fly, Alcatel, Philips: *#*#3646633#*#* ;
- And for gadgets from the manufacturer Huawei, the combination will be: *#*#2846579#*#* ;
- For devices on MTK: *#*#54298#*#* or *#*#3646633#*#*.
After dialing and pressing the dial button, you are taken to the engineering menu, where you can adjust the necessary parameters.
There are other parameters, but it’s better not to touch them at all:
- Debug Info – system information about possible debugging;
- Speech Logger – setting up conversation recording, if you activate this position, then in the root folder you can find a file something like this: Wed_Jun_2014__07_02_23.vm, indicating the date and time of recording;
- Audio logger – is responsible for searching for recorded conversations.
Each of these modes has its own fine settings, and to understand what’s what, here is a standard list of sound adjustments Type:
- Sip – will allow you to regulate calls, for example, via Skype;
- The Mic button is responsible for adjusting microphone response;
- Sph – will allow you to set the desired parameter for the conversation dynamics, that is, the one that is brought to the ear;
- Sph2 – this parameter is not available on all devices, but if it is, then it can be used to configure the second earpiece;
- Sid - it’s better not to touch this line - otherwise during a conversation you can only hear yourself, and not your interlocutor;
- Media – this adjusts the sound of multimedia files, for example, video;
- Ring – the ability to set the desired volume level for incoming calls;
- FMR - is responsible for the pitch of the sound in the Radio application.
There are several settings to set the desired sound - from level 0 to level 6. With each press, the level increases, and in order to save the set value, it is erased from the cell and a new one is written, which you see during setup. But! Observe the range: it can range from 0 to 255, and the lower the number, the lower the sound will be reproduced. After making changes, click on the Set button - it is located on the same line as the cell being changed, and exit the settings by pressing the dial button.
Tips: Before changing the default settings, write down all the values on a piece of paper - this may come in handy if you overdo it and set the wrong parameter, for example, the sounds are played too low.
Examples
For many users, when recording video, the sound is incorrect, that is, either too quiet or loud. To fix this, go to the engineering menu by typing the command for your smartphone (see above):
- Go to the line LoudSpeaker Mode (loudspeaker settings);
- Set the microphone sensitivity to mic.
- Here you can set the level item to, for example, the value 240. Save the changes with the Set button and exit the menu. You should press this button after each change made, do not forget about it!
Using special software
If you don't want to bother with fine adjustments devices, you can use special applications. You can find a lot of them both in the Google store and on the Internet. What is noteworthy is that the sound can be increased by about a third, and the speakers will work absolutely normally, without wheezing or straining.
Utilities are recognized as the most popular, and for setting low frequencies best fit .
But the Android OS version must be higher than 2.3, otherwise they will not be able to perform their functions.
Everything is very simple, the software works on the same principle - an equalizer appears on the screen, where you can make the desired sound adjustments.
Now you know how to increase the volume on Android or, if necessary, adjust the sound and sensitivity of the speakers.
