How to make louder sound on laptop. How to increase the volume of the speaker on android Increase the volume through the engineering menu

Sound is an important characteristic of any communication device, because a lot depends on it: sufficient volume allows you not to miss a call, and the correct microphone setting gives the interlocutor the opportunity to hear you loudly and clearly. But what if the maximum sound volume of the headphones, microphone or speaker is not enough? Sound settings spontaneously change, and the maximum volume rests on the automatic "safe limit"?

There are several ways to increase the sound volume on Android: using standard sound controls, using equalizer programs, and also through the engineering menu. But first things first.

An easy way to control the sound level in your phone

The fastest way to adjust the volume on an Android device is to use the Volume + and Volume- keys, usually located at the end of the device. They are responsible for the volume of the active mode. If you press the key on the main screen (desktop) - the volume of notifications is adjusted, in the game or the player - the volume of the media. Most often, in the pop-up window with the volume slider, you can select the "More" item (usually looks like a down arrow), and adjust the volume of all possible sounds on the device.

Other settings options are available at: Settings menu, Notifications item. Several standard sound profiles are available to choose from, you can change the “General” profile for yourself.

In the menu, you must select "notifications" In the "Notifications" item, the main sound settings, profiles and notification modes are presented. For detailed settings, the "General" profile is available
On different device models, additional sound enhancement options may differ. The number of options, except for the device model, depends on the version of Android

In addition to the standard settings, other useful features can be found in different versions of Android: options for improving sound for headphones, boosting speaker volume, surround sound effects, and others.

How to improve the quality and increase the volume of sound using programs

Typically, Android devices have standard applications for sound control - equalizers.. But if the manufacturer did not bother to add such a program, or the standard one does not meet all the requirements, dozens of analogues for every taste are always available for download from the official Play Market application store. Let's consider the main ones.

Volume Booster Plus

When you need to increase the Android volume level, and there is neither time nor desire to go into the engineering menu, the Volume Booster Plus program will come to the rescue. The absence of the Russian language in the interface will not prevent you from using the program: after the first launch, the application will inform you that it will analyze the characteristics of the device and select the optimal settings for amplifying the sound. To do this: sequentially press the Start (Start) keys, Next (Next) twice, then Boost (Increase), and then wait for the end of the setup process. The result will be a box with the title Success (Successfully). Everything! The volume of the device is increased 2 by the specified percentage. You can close the application.

Increase ringtone volume with Simple EQ

For detailed sound settings, Equalizer Simple EQ is one of the simplest free equalizers on Android. Increase the volume can be achieved by controlling the frequency sliders 60 Hz, 230 Hz and others. There is also an increase in "bass" and a stereo effect. After the first launch, the program remains running in the background and provides the specified volume level and sound quality in all usage scenarios.

You can download the program from its official page in the Android application store - download Equalizer Simple EQ.

How to make a loud call through the engineering menu

The most advanced volume settings are available through the device's engineering menu.

Engineering menu (mode) - a special service program on devices with the Android operating system. Developers use it to finalize the device, make final changes, check the operation of various sensors, and perform system testing. The same application serves to obtain a large amount of system information, and among other things, it helps to fine-tune the sound volume.

It is worth noting that an ignorant user should not walk around within the engineering menu without a clear goal. A careless “poke” or a tick in the wrong place can both format the device and deprive the radio module of the cherished frequencies: the device will stop “catching” the Internet or making calls. But if you do everything according to the instructions and do not deviate from the letter of the manual, you can adjust the sound volume in no time.

You can enter the engineering menu using the service code or through the intermediary program - MTK Engineering Mode (only for devices on the MTK processor).

You can download the program for entering the engineering menu from a device on the MTK processor from its official page in the Android application store - MTK Engineering Mode.

Video instruction on how to increase the volume of the speaker:

You need to enter the service code in the dialing field (in the "dialer"), which one depends on the device manufacturer.

Table: service codes for different models of Android devices

After that, the engineering menu will open. In it, with a right-to-left swipe, you need to go to the Hardware Testing page and open the Audio item.

Photo gallery: how to add sound using the Android service menu

There are several items in the Audio section, we will focus on the first five:

  • Normal Mode - is responsible for the volume level in normal mode, without headphones and other audio devices;
  • Headset Mode - operating mode with a connected headset (headphones, portable speakers, etc.);
  • LoudSpeaker Mode - speakerphone mode;
  • Headset_LoudSpeaker Mode - speakerphone mode with headset;
  • Speech Enhancement - talk mode (without headset).
  • Is the music from the speaker not loud enough? Your choice is Normal Mode. Can't hear the interlocutor? Click Speech Enhancement. Does the sound from the game in the headphones wheeze at maximum volume? Headset mode. And so on, according to circumstances.

    When we have decided on the mode, by tapping on it we get to the settings page with several values.

    Photo gallery: how to change the sound of a microphone, headphones, enhance conversational and music speakers on Android

    Type - the list contains the type of configured equipment, its items mean:

  • Sip - Internet calls volume;
  • Mic - microphone volume;
  • Sph - speaker volume (for talking on the phone);
  • Sph2 - the second conversational speaker (rarity);
  • Sid - do not touch (problems are possible!);
  • Media - media file playback volume (Music, Games, Video);
  • Ring - ring volume level;
  • FMR - FM radio volume.
  • Next comes the list of volume levels - Level, usually there are seven of them. Each level corresponds to one press of the volume key. Level 0 is the quietest and Level 6 is the loudest signal level. You can also set your own values ​​here, in the input cell opposite the inscription “Value is 0 ~ 255” (the specified limits may differ from device to device). Accordingly, the lower the value in this cell, the lower the volume. After making changes, you must press the Set button and the settings will be saved.

    The bottommost in the window will be “Max Vol. 0~160”, the value in the input field is responsible for the maximum possible volume, one for all Level levels.

    Attention! Before changing the factory settings, overwrite the factory settings or save screenshots (usually a screenshot can be taken by pressing the volume down key and the power key at the same time) so that if the change fails, the previous settings will be restored. And also it is highly not recommended to use the maximum values: try to limit yourself to an increase of 10-20 points. Otherwise, the risk of failure of the speaker increases: the appearance of noise, distortion, complete shutdown of the speaker or microphone of the device.

    When you have decided on the setting of the required sound mode, you can close the engineering menu and reboot the device, then all changes will be applied.

    What to do if the volume limit is turned on - how to remove it

    Some device models, as well as versions of the Android operating system, contain automatic limitation of the maximum sound volume when headphones are connected or the volume is increased above a certain value, in this case, you can use the Volume Boost program or its analogue. It is enough to install, run, and in the Settings tab check the box next to Auto Start (it will allow the application to load automatically and always work in the background). There you can also check the box and activate the “widget” for managing the application, and by placing it on the desktop, you can independently turn on and off the volume limit so as not to keep the program always active.

    Eliminate spontaneous volume changes

    Sometimes users are faced with a rare problem of spontaneous switching of the volume level, this can be caused by several factors:

  • Most often, this problem was found in owners of too “smart” Samsung or HTC devices, as well as little-known oriental brands. First of all, in the menu "Settings"\u003e "Sound" you need to check the presence of the item "auto volume control". The name may differ and contain phrases: in a case, in a pocket, on a table. If you have problems with sound - try to start by disabling such options.
  • Owners of older Samsung smartphones, such as the Galaxy S4, can detect malicious settings at the address: Settings > My Device > Calls > Ring Loudly in Bag.
  • Also, such settings can be in the menu "Settings" > "Accessibility" and be called: Smart case, Auto volume, Pocket mode.
  • If the device is equipped with a protective bumper or case, it will not be superfluous to check if the physical sound control keys are sticking.
  • But remember! If on your device, when you connect a headset (headphones, portable speakers), the inscription “safe limitation” appears and reduces the maximum volume, this limitation is set by the manufacturer for a reason. First of all, we are talking about the health of the one who uses the headset. Take care of your hearing.

    Probably everyone has encountered a similar problem: the volume in the player is at maximum, and the sound of the movie is barely audible. How can the problem be solved?

    1. You can get confused, import the movie into a video editor, increase the volume and save. But it is very long.
    2. You can make the sound louder on the amplifier. But if you use acoustics built into a laptop or monitor, you won't be able to make it louder.
    3. Sometimes in such cases the problem can be solved easier - using Windows OS tools!

    How to make sound louder? Volume at maximum

    There is a great feature in Windows 7 and Windows 8 − Loudness Equalization. No one is forcing you to use it all the time. But if you have downloaded a silent movie, you have the option to watch it comfortably by using it and then turn it off again.

    How to enable volume leveling in Windows 8.1

    Right-click on the volume icon in the system tray next to the clock and select Playback devices:

    On the tab Playback select the device for which you want to enable volume equalization and press the button Properties:

    In Windows 8.1, go to the tab Additional features check the box next to the option Loudness Equalization and press OK to save settings:

    How to turn on volume equalization in Windows 7

    If you are using Windows 7, you need to go to the tab Improvements, check the box next to the option Loudness and press OK to save settings:

    Now you know how to increase the sound volume using Windows.

    Probably, many smartphone owners have faced the volume problem. For example, two things did not suit me. The first is a quiet speaker sound on an incoming call, and the second is a very loud sound in the headphones when a call is received.

    A little about how Android controls volume

    If no headset is connected to your gadget (headphones, hands-free, etc.), then the volume settings will be the same, and as soon as you connect the headset, the settings will become different. For a general understanding, I will give a few examples.

    Example 1 You listen to music on your phone, turn on the loud speaker at full volume, and when you connect a headset to it and turn on the loud speaker again, the volume may differ (it may be louder or lower, depending on which phone model or firmware version).

    Example 2 You are watching a movie in headphones, the volume (meaning the volume of multimedia) is set to 40% and then after a while you have an incoming call, then the volume in the headphones will change to the general volume, in which case you can get a powerful sonic shock to the ears. Believe me, I have been undermined more than once from the couch in such cases, the fact is that the programmers have poorly adjusted the volume modes.

    Example 3 You are on a phone call and need to switch to speakerphone mode, and you notice that the speaker is not as loud (or vice versa) as when listening to music; or the partner began to hear you badly, this is because in different modes the microphone may have different sensitivity. Also, when you connect a headset in the same situation and turn on the speakerphone mode, the settings are different again. This is how Android manages volume.

    We learn the theory of the engineering menu

    So let's look at what and how can be done if you play a little trick on the "Engineering menu".

    Before making any changes, we recommend that you read the article in full, and comprehend, and then experiment. Also take a piece of paper and write down all the default values ​​in case something goes wrong. You can start the engineering menu using the telephone dialing: we write the following combinations on it (Fig. 1):

    picture 1

    *#*#54298#*#* or *#*#3646633#*#* or *#*#83781#*#* - smartphones based on the MTK processor

    *#*#8255#*#* or *#*#4636#*#* – Samsung smartphones

    *#*#3424#*#* or *#*#4636#*#* or *#*#8255#*#* – HTC smartphones

    *#*#7378423#*#* - Sony smartphones

    *#*#3646633#*#* – Fly, Alcatel, Philips smartphones

    *#*#2846579#*#* – Huawei smartphones

    Congratulations, you have entered the engineering menu (Fig. 2). Keep in mind that the menu on different phones may differ slightly in structure. We find the section "Audio" and go into it. After entering, we see a bunch of unknown lines (modes) (Fig. 3). Here's what these modes mean in Android:


    figure 2 figure 3

    normal mode(settings section in normal or normal mode) – this mode is active when nothing is connected to the smartphone;

    Headset mode(headset mode) - this mode is activated after connecting headphones or external speakers;

    Loud Speaker Mode(loudspeaker mode) - it is activated when nothing is connected to the smart, and you turn on the speakerphone while talking on the phone;

    Headset_LoudSpeaker Mode(loudspeaker mode when a headset is connected) - this mode is activated when headphones or external speakers are connected to the smart phone, and you turn on the speakerphone while talking on the phone;

    Speech enhancement(Talking mode) - this mode is activated in the normal talking mode on the phone, and nothing is connected to it (headset, external speakers) and the speakerphone is not turned on.

    It’s better not to poke your nose into the last three sections:

    debug info- it is not clear why - info on the backup of information or its debugging;

    Speech logger- I didn’t fully understand, most likely, logging during negotiations or recording chatter. If you check the box next to "Enable speech log", then after the end of the phone call, the corresponding files are created in the root directory of the memory card. Their name and structure takes the following form: Wed_Jun_2014__07_02_23.vm (Wednesday_July_2014__time07_02_23.vm).

    What these files serve for and how they can be useful to us is not clear. The directory /sdcard/VOIP_DebugInfo (which is the storage location for files with backup information) is not automatically created, if you create it manually, then after the conversation it will remain empty.

    audio logger- good sound recording software that supports quick search, playback and saving.

    If you approach these modes wisely, you can adjust the volume of Android smartphones or tablets the way you want. When you enter any of the modes, different volume settings (Type) will become available to your eyes. Here is a list of the main settings you need to know (Fig. 4):

    figure 4

    Sip– settings for Internet calls;

    Mic– microphone sensitivity settings;

    Sph- settings for the conversational speaker (the one that is applied to the ears);

    Sph2- settings for the second conversational speaker (I don’t have it);

    sid- we skip, when you change these parameters during negotiations on your smartphone or tablet, you can hear yourself instead of the interlocutor;

    media– setting the multimedia volume level;

    ring– setting the volume level of the incoming call;

    FMR– FM radio volume settings.

    Further, under the item for selecting settings, we have a list of volume levels (Level) (Fig. 5). For a better understanding, there are 7 such levels, from level 0 to level 6. Each level corresponds to one “click” on the volume rocker of a smartphone or tablet. Accordingly, level 0 is the quietest level, and level 6 is the loudest signal level. Each level can be assigned its own values, which are in the Value is 0~255 cell, and should not go beyond the range from 0 to 255 (the lower the value, the lower the sound). To do this, you need to erase the old value in the cell, then enter the new (desired) value and press the “Set” button (the one next to the cell) to assign (Fig. 6). Be careful when using the maximum values, as the speakers may produce uncharacteristically unpleasant sounds in the form of rattling and other unpleasant effects.


    figure 5 figure 6

    A warning! Before making changes, overwrite all factory values ​​(in case something goes wrong).

    You must know!

    Editing modes in the engineering menu

    Example 1 How to increase the volume of an incoming call?

    To do this, you need to go to the engineering menu, print the "Audio" section, go to the "LoudSpeaker Mode" mode and select "Ring" in the volume settings - the volume settings for the incoming call. Then sequentially change (increase) the values ​​of all signal levels (level 0 - level 6). Also, for greater effect, you can increase the value of the Max Vol section. 0 ~ 160, if it is not the maximum (I set mine to 155, with a larger value, the speaker starts to “wheeze”).

    Example 2 How to increase the volume when talking on the phone? (Increasing the volume level of a small speaker, the one that is applied to the ear).

    Again we go into the engineering menu already known to us, print the “Audio” section, go to the special “Normal Mode”, select Sph in it - this parameter is responsible for changing the value of all signal levels in the range from level 0 to level 6. Set the one you need for us level. In the Max Vol. 0~160, can also be changed to a higher volume power setting.

    Example 3 Increasing the volume and sensitivity of the smartphone's conversational microphone

    To adjust and set the required volume level and also the sensitivity of the conversational microphone, you need to go to the “Engineering menu”> “Audio”> “Normal Mode”> select Mic - microphone sensitivity settings, and for all levels (level 0 - level 6) we assign one and the same value, for example 240. Now the interlocutor should hear you better.

    Example 4 How to increase the sound recording volume while recording a video?

    Suppose there is a need to increase the sound recording volume level during video recording, then in the engineering menu for our loudspeaker (LoudSpeaker Mode) change the microphone sensitivity settings (mic), increase all values ​​at all levels (level 0 - level 6), for example set to 240 at every level. I remind you of pressing the button (set) - we reboot our favorite gadget and rejoice.

    By the way, do not forget to press the “Set” button after each editing of a certain parameter. This action should commit and accept your command for execution. Otherwise, the user-set parameters are not activated. In addition, a certain number of mobile devices require a reboot for the changes to take effect (turn off and on the device).

    Good luck with your experiments, if something is not clear - write in the comments. We are waiting for your answers.

    Note: table is constantly updated

    You can increase the volume of your device in two ways: through the settings of the engineering menu or using third-party programs. Determine for yourself right away whether you are ready to deal with the engineering menu interface, because by accidentally pressing the wrong option, you risk knocking down the settings of the entire phone. Also, if none of the methods from this article suits you, it is likely that the problem is in the speakers themselves, and the device needs to be taken to a service center.

    How to increase the speaker volume on Android in the engineering menu

    To enter the engineering menu on your phone, you need to enter a special combination, enter it depending on the brand of your smartphone or tablet:

    • if your phone is based on MTK: *#*#54298#*#*, or *#*#3646633#*#*,
    • Samsung gadgets: *#*#8255#*#* or *#*#4636#*#*,
    • HTC phones and tablets: *#*#3424#*#* or *#*#4636#*#* or *#*#8255#*#*,
    • Sony: *#*#7378423#*#*,
    • equipment from Fly, Alcatel, Philips: *#*#3646633#*#*,
    • Huawei: *#*#2846579#*#*.

    Go to the dialing menu and enter the selected code.

    • If after several attempts the menu still does not open, go to the Play Market and enter “Engineering Mode” in the search field and download any application of your choice.


    Log into the program and follow the instructions:

    • you will see engineering menu tabs,
    • find the line Audio,

    • click on it, you will be taken to your phone's audio settings,


    • go to normal mode,
    • now you have to choose the mode that you will configure,


    Here is a breakdown of the main types:

    Sph– speaker settings,
    Sph2- settings for the second conversational speaker (if any),
    media– setting the media volume,
    ring– setting the volume level of incoming calls,
    FMR– FM radio volume settings.

    If all of them are too quiet, then the algorithm will have to be repeated with all the tabs.

    • now just set the volume level, where 0 is silent and 6 is very loud. Now your speaker is set to the loudest setting. Be careful, this may affect the sound quality, the longevity of the speakers. If the engineering menu setting did not give the desired results, or you decide not to try to set it up, go to the second step.


    How to Increase Speaker Volume on Android Using Apps

    Third-party software will make your work easier and eliminate the need for a complex engineering menu. Go to the Play Market and enter the name of the utility "Volume Booster Plus". Download the app and follow the instructions:


    • open the utility
    • press the only button on the “Next” screen,

    • now press "Boost",

    • when completed, your phone will hear a loud signal, and the application will notify you how much you were able to increase the volume.

    In this case, the volume of the speakers has become 23% higher. Too loud sound settings adversely affect playback quality, be careful.

    Each owner of a smartphone with the Android operating system (“Android”) has probably more than once encountered an inconsistency in the sound volume in different device options or the problem of too quiet speakers, even at maximum volume. This becomes especially unpleasant when the sound cannot be increased even through the phone settings. However, there are other ways, for example, using the engineering menu. Increasing the volume in this case is not difficult.

    How to adjust the sound on Android phones and tablets (“Android”)

    The developers have put into the Android OS different volume modes designed for different situations of using a smartphone, which depend on the connected devices. Thus, without a headset, the sound on the phone can be quiet, and when headphones are connected, it can be sharply deafened by the melody of an incoming call. It is to eliminate such misunderstandings that you need to adjust the sound and change the volume by hidden methods.

    How to change the volume of the alarm, ringtone, music and video through the settings

    Sound control on a smartphone with Android OS is possible through the buttons on its body, as well as through the internal settings of the standard menu. The setup methods are the same for smartphones and tablets, so you can easily figure out the functionality.

  • Go to the device settings and select the "Sounds and notifications" section.
    Select the "Sounds and Notifications" section
  • Depending on the version of the system, you need to either click on the gear opposite the active mode, or open the "Volume" subsection. If you are afraid of losing the default settings, you can add a new mode.
    Click on the gear next to the active mode
  • In the window that opens, depending on the version of the system, the following items for changing the volume will be available to you:

  • for music, video, games and other media files;
  • for calls and notifications;
  • for an alarm clock.
  • Adjust the settings to anticipate all possible situations and prevent unexpected plosive sounds when a call or alarm rings.


    The window will contain all the items that can be changed through the standard settings

    Another reason for a call that is too loud or not quiet enough may be the set melodies themselves. Standard sounds are usually leveled in volume, but there may also be those that begin with bright, sharp sounds, unlike others where the sound builds up slowly and gradually.

  • In the sound settings, open the "Ringtone" item.
    A silent ringtone is one of the possible reasons why you may not hear your phone ring.
  • Listen to the proposed melodies and choose the most suitable one.
    To listen to a melody, tap on it with your finger
  • In the same way, adjust the notification volume settings by visiting the corresponding section of the sound menu.
    By analogy with choosing a ringtone, set up notification sounds
  • Check other settings and consider whether sounds such as key tones when dialing a number, tap and lock sounds will bother you.
    Mark only the sounds you need or set the vibration
  • You can very quickly change the sound level with the buttons on the case of your smartphone or tablet. Manufacturers specifically put these buttons on the case so that you can find them without looking and increase or decrease the sound. However, there are very few settings in this mode.


    You can adjust the volume with the usual buttons on the phone case.

    Pressing the volume up or down buttons will display the corresponding sliders on the device screen.

    In some models, you can go to detailed settings from this screen by clicking on the corresponding icon to the right of the volume slider.

    Some devices display a dedicated button to navigate to settings

    Sometimes the smartphone spontaneously goes into silent or silent mode for no apparent reason. This happens most often with Samsung, HTC, and Lenovo devices. This situation can occur when changing the sound profile from soft to loud, followed by an outgoing call. When the call is completed, the new profile may fail, and the gadget will mistakenly restore the previous one. The solution is to reboot the device after changing the sound profile. This problem is related to bugs in the firmware version and is usually fixed by the developers with the release of updates.

    Increase the volume through the engineering menu

    You can make more flexible sound settings if you get into the Andoid engineering menu. However, it is not so easy to get into this section of the device. The developers specifically hid it from the eyes of ordinary users so that they could not knock down the settings and disrupt the operation of their device.

    But for smartphone owners who want to understand everything and thoroughly study the operation of their device, the ability to access such settings is a real gift.

    Do not forget that thoughtlessly changing the parameters in the engineering menu can lead to a malfunction of the gadget.

    Before changing anything, you need to read all the available information on this item, compare it with how it looks on your device, think about how you can quickly return everything back in case of unexpected behavior of the gadget. Only if you are confident in your own actions, you can proceed with the settings. It is best if you take a screenshot of the screen before making changes or copy the original values ​​into notepad so that you can restore them back.

    Opening the menu via call

    To enter the engineering settings menu, you will not need much effort and Root rights. The menu is entered through the dialing interface using a special code.

    Access codes to the engineering menu are different for all devices, as they are set by the manufacturer, not by the system. All of them will be presented in the table below.

    You need to dial the entry code to the engineering menu in the same way as a regular phone number. The engineering menu usually opens on its own after typing the last character of the code. If this does not happen, press the "Call" key.

    Try different options if the first one doesn't work

    Table: access codes

    Opening the menu through the application

    If none of the codes suits you, try downloading a special utility from the Play Market that will create a separate shortcut to go to the engineering menu.

  • Open the Play Market and type "engineer mode" in the search bar and select the first app you like.
    All applications for entering the engineering menu are the same, so you can choose any
  • Install and run the application.
    The application will weigh very little and installation will not take much time
  • You will either be automatically sent to the engineering menu, or you will have to specify the manufacturer of your device (or processor).
    In some cases, you will need to check the manufacturer of your device
  • Volume up: step by step instructions

  • First of all, you need to open the Audio section. If it's not available initially, swipe left a few times to open the Hardware Testing tab.
    Open the Audio section in the Hardware Testing tab
  • Now you will see a list of modes available for changing, you need to select one of the proposed ones.

    The values ​​of all modes are described in the table below.
  • Now select the option to change in the Type section.
    The values ​​of all sound parameters are described in the table below.
  • Select the volume level you wish to adjust. There are 7 in total (from 0 to 6). These are the same levels that are set in the standard smartphone settings (when you press the volume up or down button on the smartphone case, the level changes). It is best to start from zero and the last level.

    First set up the first and last levels
  • Now you need to set the volume gain of the selected level (Value is) and press Set.

    Set the volume boost and confirm the change

  • Similarly, you need to set the volume limit (Max Vol.). This is the maximum possible volume.
    Set the volume limit of the selected level and press Set
  • In accordance with the set values, set the remaining levels so that the volume change through the buttons is the smoothest.
    Calculate the volume levels on the calculator and adjust the missing
  • Similarly, adjust the rest of the parameters and volume modes, if they interest you.

    How to increase the volume through applications

    In addition to the standard settings and the system engineering menu, there are special programs that allow you to make additional changes to the sound parameters of a smartphone or tablet. Different programs do not work correctly on all devices, because they interfere with the normal functioning of the phone, and this is not welcomed by manufacturers. All of the programs described below are available in the Play Market.

    You should also understand that such services for editing any restrictions of a smartphone that are not accessible to change in normal ways can lead to a malfunction of the gadget and, as a result, only worsen its performance.

    Volume+ (most trusted app)

    This application is available only in English, but is the least controversial and almost incapable of causing unfortunate consequences for your smartphone.

  • Find Volume+ in the Play Market and install it.
    It is pointless to download the paid version of Volume +
  • Launch the application and select the "Speaker Settings" section.
    Volume+ has many features, but many of them you won't need
  • The next screen will present a list of options available for editing. First, check the Speaker Modifications (changing speaker settings) and Virtual Room Effect (virtual space effect) items.
    Check Speaker Modifications and Virtual Room Effect
  • Then increase the Volume Level, Bass Enhancement and Virtual Room by one notch (this will increase the volume a little).
    Increase the marked parameters by one division and check the effect
  • Check the changes in practice and change the settings again if necessary.
  • A sharp increase in parameters can cause freezes, crashes and other troubles in the operation of the device.

    JetAudio (equalizer and effects settings)

    Jet Audio belongs to the category of equalizers and is a very functional program: it has an audio converter, a player and a ripper. Equalizer is just one of its options. The default sound mode she uses is Normal Mode.

  • Find JetAudio in the Play Market and install it.
    JetAudio may be called a player or an equalizer, but they are the same program.
  • Click on the button in the upper right corner to open the settings drop-down menu.
    If the "Equalizer" button will be available from the main screen, click on it
  • Select "Sound Effects...".
    If the button "Sound effects ..." is missing, find the equalizer through "Settings"
  • Now open Equalizer.
    The other buttons that appear can also be useful to you, especially the sound amplifier
  • On this tab, you can safely experiment with all the values ​​without fear of harming the device. If you click on the button in the upper right corner, a list of additional built-in programs for changing sound settings will open.
    All changes made can be very easily reverted back.
  • The parameter with a value of 60 Hz should be left unchanged.

    Do not forget that by increasing the sound volume, you lose its quality, since not all models of smartphones and tablets are designed for good tunes. Some devices have weak speakers, the extra load on which will cause wheezing and extraneous sounds. Don't let the speaker burn out and take care of your gadget.

    Volume Booster Plus (automatic sound adjustment)

    The program is available in the Play Market app store and is the easiest to use.


    Volume Booster Plus is the easiest volume control software to use.

    After installing and launching the application, you will see only one button that you need to click on.


    After pressing the button in Volume Booster Plus, automatic optimization of volume parameters will begin

    Ways to amplify the speaker with improvised means

    There are a few clever tricks that will help you increase the sound volume on your device in a very simple way. To do this, you only need improvised materials and minimal knowledge of the laws of physics.

  • Connect external speakers or speakers to your smartphone. Almost any external audio playback device will be better than the smartphone's built-in speaker. First, because it is larger and has more power. And secondly, gadget manufacturers often save on speakers by installing low-power ones, since users usually prefer to use their own speakers and headphones.
  • Place your device in a glass jar for enhanced sound when listening to music. Many gadget owners have already tried this method, despite the fact that it seems silly. The glass works like a resonator, reflecting the sound wave. Some smartphone owners cut out horns from paper cups and attach them to the gadget's speaker. To add volume to the alarm call, especially witty users put the phone on a saucer with a coin and turn on the vibration mode in parallel with the call.
  • Take advantage of the acoustic properties of materials in the outside world that can reflect sound. Find a painted wall nearby and position your phone so that the speakers are facing it. The sound will reverberate intensifying. Experiment with other similar materials.
  • How to remove the maximum sound level limit

    Smartphone and tablet manufacturers often set a software limit on volume settings. That is, using the interface, you can set one sound level, but in reality the gadget will make sounds much quieter than we would like.

    It is believed that in order to bypass such a limitation, it is necessary to reset the gadget settings to factory settings. However, there is no exact data on how this will affect your device specifically. There are a lot of gadget models, each manufacturer follows its own logic when setting standard settings. Resetting the parameters will inevitably erase the data in the phone. Therefore, if the effect of the applications to increase the volume is not enough for you, prepare well and make a backup copy of the information from the device.

    Reset the settings to factory settings, and then select the North America region as the default for your gadget. This is because smartphone manufacturers put such restrictions in some countries, where social norms may prohibit the use of settings that can violate the rights of others.

    One of the main problems of cheap smartphones is the poor quality of the built-in speakers, which causes serious difficulties in sound reproduction. However, a few simple ways, from built-in options to using improvised tools, will help Android smartphone owners quickly navigate the situation and change the sound settings to more comfortable ones.
