Volume output is extremly low on Z3

My xperia z3's volume output is extremly low comparted to my old iphone 4 and also without any bass even when trying the same set of headphones on both of them , and i tried clear audo+ and DSEE HX but they dont help at all with the volume they make it worse and i tired increasing everything in the equalizer inluding the bass and still nothing is there anyway i could fix this or is there something wrong with my phone?

Seems this is a common problem for people, I'm experiencing the same problem with my z3 compact.
The way to fix this is to root your phone and then it's just a matter of editing a text file inside your phone to raise the overall volume level.
I've posted up a message here too about it, just want for someone to pass it onto Sony and hope that it can be fixed, it's not a major thing for them, it would be quite easy for them to fix.

Extremely Low Bass Out

I'm currently using Logitech Z-5500 speakers and an Audigy 2 sound card.
The current problem I'm having with them is that the bass output is extremely low, and tweaking the settings (ie. Maxing bass bars on options and upping the bass crossover) does almost nothing to improve the bass.
This is not a connectivity issue as all channels are correct, and the bass unit is not broken because the speaker test works fine (the Logitech speaker test) and because, very bizarrely, when I set CMSS to stereo (I was gettig desperate and trying anything) the bass kicked in. As in really kicked in as it should do.
Any other CMSS settings resulted in a totally nerfed bass output. Can anyone suggest anyway that I may get a proper bass output without having CMSS to stereo? (I absolutely loathe CMSS as it borfs quite a few things for me)
Perhaps there's a way to stop creative settings interfering with bass?
The other thing I've noticed is that I didn't have this problem a few months ago. When I first got my speakers about 9 months ago, the bass was fine. When I bought a Xi-Fi card (soon after release) and promptly returned it, then re-installed the audigy, I think that's when the problem started.
I've tried totally un-installing the sound card and extras, all creative stuff followed by a manual uninstall of the Audigy WDM, and then re-installed the latest drivers, but to no avail.
I query whether:
The Xi-Fi drivers installed something on my PC that borks the bass that isn't uninstalled the usual way.
or
If there's a problem with the current audigy drivers, and if so where can I download the previous ones.
or
Acombination of the above.
Anyone had any similar experiences and/or solutions? (A forum search hasn't helped so far)

Wow, altering the search parameters slightly revealed a *massi've* number of bass problem threads. (Do any creative sound cards work as they should? This forum is rammed)
Anyway, couldn't find any threads which resulted in a good bass when CMSS stereo was enabled. I'm thinking there must be some hidden setting I can play with to fix my problem, especially as I used to have a good bass output!

MacBook Pro 2009 - Window 7 - Low Volume Output

I am experiencing low volume output on the internal speakers and slightly better volume on headphone output under BootCamp with Windows 7 x64 Ultimate. And of course the red light emitting diode is one constantly in the audio output jack.
I have seen fixes for the Windows XP folks over time and on my older MacBook (2006) with Vista x64, I found a fix. I have seen some thoughts on installing RealTek HD Audio drivers and that DID NOT work for Windows 7 x64 on my MacBook Pro 2009. I also tried reinstalling the CirrusAudio x64 from the BootCamp 3 drivers on my Snow Leopard DVD.
So I am left wondering if a driver update is forthcoming or if there is a fix that has been discovered and not reported online yet?

I'm going to leave this message for reference to other users...
As of October 22 2009 there is no known fix for the broken Cirrus Logic driver that comes with Bootcamp 3.0 under any 64bit Windows OS (including Windows 7 and Vista).
Apple seriously ***** for not doing anything about this for MONTHS and has lost a customer forever. I was going to get a 17in to complement my 13in MacBook Pro but this kind of driver issues is just plain unacceptable, and goes to show how you can't rely on a company like Apple for mission critical systems, period.
If they want to make ANY inroad in the corporate world the better get their stuff together and start delivering, the famous "excellent customer experience" for me is nowhere to be found. Lacking that, mac computers are only pretty although non-functional machines.
Sorry for the rant... I hope somebody from apple listens, but I doubt it.

The volume of Youtube is extremely low, even maxed out.

I would say that for the past two-three weeks I've been having a problem where my Youtube volume in Firefox is extremely low. In order to hear anything really I have to have my Windows volume at 100%, my speaker volume maxed out, and Youtube volume at its highest.
I Watched the exact same youtube video in chrome and its so LOUD! I had to turn my windows volume to 50% and my speakers way down and it was still louder than Firefox. I searched for similar issues and found one that exactly matched my problem, I even followed the suggested steps to fixing the issue at hand but nothing has worked.
Steps completed so far:
-Fresh install
-Cleared cookies, cache, site preferences and offline data
-re installing flash
-Cleared flash cookies and settings
I dont want to abandon firefox but this issue is extremely annoying and there doesnt seem to be a logical fix available. Any help is appreciated.

Philip,
I want to thank you for your suggestion. There was an issue where the volume for the Firefox application was turned down extremely low resulting in the issue at hand. I have since corrected this thanks to you!
James,
I appreciate you trying to help but I explained in my question that I had the YouTube volume up to 100%.

Satellite A100-532: microphone sound volume is extremely low

I just bought Satellite A100-532 and I have a problem with sound input. I can't use microphone to chat with my friend on msn or even to record my voice on to the hard drive because the sound volume is extremely low.
I tried turning up all the volume on the desktop and on the RealTek HD sound manager but did not help. Microphone is working perfectly fine as I can hear myself well on the speakers.
Normally, with my old laptop (M30 series) I could use the Sound Recorder to record music which I play using Winamp or WinMediaPlayer but for this new laptop it does not detect any sound at all..just silence.
Please advise.

Hi
You should check also the volume controls in the "Sound & Audio devices" in control panel.
In the "Volume" tab please go to "Advanced".
Then a "Volume control" should appear.
Check if all controls are set to high level.
Furthermore enter the "options" and "properties" and enable all volume controls.
Change also to "recording" and enable there also all controls.
Additional you should check if the all "recording controls" are set to high.
Use "Advanced" option of mic and play around with the mic boost settings.
I'm sure you will find the best settings for your mic recording

XBR75X85OC audio volume setting from receiver extremely low

Equipment involved:Sony AV receiver STRDN1040, Sony Bluray player BDPBX510 and DISH Hopper receiver.Equipment currently configured per TV owners manual HD BRAVIA SYNC Basic connection. Volume is extremely low.

Frankly speaking, ThinkPad W510 speakers or/and it's Conexant sound chip/driver is mediocre. It seems that it is a design fault or Lenovo is trying to save that small amount of additional cost for each of the component so that they can earn more. I used an T400 loaner set before, the speaker and the Conexant SmartAudio was as great or better than my Dell Studio 15.
I am not sure what the heck, Lenovo Research & Development department is doing to make W510 sound mediocre. As an end-user and W510 a mobile workstation, I would also expect the speaker/sound chip to be better than T400.
I have contacted the Lenovo Service Center, they said the final version of the driver is under testing and has not been released to their support website. But I think the soft audio volume problem could never be resolved unless Lenovo would release another version of internal speaker, but not possible as a refreshed version of W-series is coming up next year. (eg. W520)
Problem/bug listed out for the latest version of W510 Audio Driver

New G5 Low Volume Output

I have two new dual processor G5 macs at work and on both Macs there is hardly any volume output from the internal speaker. There is sound but when playing anything steamed from the internet sometimes you can barely hear it. But for the most part the volume is lower than what you might expect even from a small speaker.
Is there a way to increase the sound output on these Macs? I know of someone else that has the same problem too. So I know that is is not me.
iMac G4 15 flat panel Mac OS X (10.4.2)

If you have two brand new G5's it would seem highly unlikely it would be a hardware issue. But hey, stranger things have been known to happen.
I assume you have already check the settings in the Sound pane via System Preferences, no?
What happens if you plug in headphones. Is the sound output the same?
Try removing either com.apple.systempreferences.plist and or com.apple.soundpref.plist to the desktop and restart the computer so it can create new preference files. See if this makes a difference.
I am not sure if com.apple.soundpref.plist file actually exists. I can't seem to locate one on my G5. I have done a google search and random Mac users indicated that they have one.

IPad volume (esp Facetime) is extremely low after iOS 7 update

Hi Devs,
After the update for iOS7, the volume (esp for Facetime) is extremely low and i have to strain to hear at MAX volume. Even video playback is affected. Pls help.........
Thanks.

CRAP!!!! I wish I would have read this post before I just dropped $400 on a brand new unlocked 4s. It came with IOS7... FU..... I wish I could return it!! Well, I'm stuck with it now. I received it with 7.0.4, so, it sounds like Apple hasn't done anything to fix this issue or cares too... tisk tisk Apple... what are you thinking.... how many people need to complain and ask for help before you realize you have an issue and you fix it?? What is it going to take?? Doesn't make sense to me... such a great product going down the toilet. Oh, maybe it's because you already have billions in the bank... now it makes sense.
I bought this iphone 4s to give to my girlfriend and was going to by an iphone 5s for myself... that's not going to happen now.
Well, I'm stuck with this phone now, so any help out there would be awesome.... please, no sarcastic comments.

Low volume output through earphone from ipad air, itouch 4 and itouch 5 comparing to previous models

Has any body noticed that the latest iPad and i touch (i e from 4th generation onward) purchased from India (I don't know about other countries) has less volume output in earphones/headphones as compared to the old generations...
This is because i had to replace 2 i touch (i e 4th gen and 5th gen) for the same problem.
Now also when i purchased an iPad air WiFi cellular am facing the same problem.
I am buying an apple product for music and videos preferably but at last get disappointed due to your same defective products.
Has apple lowered their status of music and video for which they were famous.
Anyone help me out there for this problem.
Tell me solution excluding
1.To turnoff volume limit
2. reset all settings
3.make some changes in equalizer
4.restore factory settings and
5. increase volume level from iTunes..
All the above mentioned solutions i have tried nothing has solve my problem..
If apple does manufacture such product with less volume than the previous version then please tell us. We will buy product of another brand. Apple its a major issue. The only thing that this issue has not been discussed so much because most of the people do not hear at the max level.

Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

Losing sound on the right channel or sound level is extremely low

This started happening when I got my 5. speaker system ( Logitech Z-5500 ) sometimes I would lose all sound from the right channel ( both front and rear and sometimes including center ) and sometimes the volume is at an extremely low level even if the sound card output is at 00% now fixing this is either a reboot or a change of audio mode Game to Ent ( vice versa ) Is creative working on a permanent fix for this one ? Im using X-Fi Extreme Music and Windows 7 64bit 8GB of ram

Ringing volume on 6233 too low!

I find the ringing volume on the 6233 to be extremely low when set to the ordinary levels. Basically, in order to get the phone to ring at a level loud enough that you might actually hear it in normal environments, you have to set the ring tone to the highest setting, which is "ascending."
This seems to be a curious and very annoying quirk of the 62xx models, as I had the same difficulty with the 6230, and it was especially bad with the 6230i. I once read about someone who said they were able to just set the tone to "ascending" and then put a pause before the loud bit, so that it starts off loud, but I have no idea how to go about doing that.
Finally, I owned a 6630 and I also own an N80, and both of these phones ring very loudly and very clearly on normal settings. I would love some guidance from anyone inside Nokia or who has done research with their help centre about this problem, in order to understand why they seem able to deliver normal, effective ringing in some handsets, but not others.

we are waiting for a fix.
they are working on it http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/viewdocument.do;jsessionid=2C91D1A432834B2F4D143A5654B83034?...

Volume of speakers very low

The speakers on my laptop are extremely low despite setting all of the volume to maximum volume.
Looking at othe posts on this topic, there is a recommendation to go to the "Enhancements" tab within the sound settings but I do not have that tab available.
This is very frustrating as I am unable to use my laptop for Lync conference calls which is essential for my job.
PS: I have also set the volume setting for Lync to 100% and that hasn't made any difference.

Audio extremely low

Solving problem for my mom. Toshiba Satellite M45-S169. Windows XP. Audio is extremely low,
barely discernable but it is there. All volume controls have been verified, devices, drivers are (obviously)
enabled. All audio impacted: system sounds, multiple players, etc.
I personally don't know what triggered the problem or how long it
has been going on.
Tried loading Service Pack 3, no help.
Tried loading RealTek AC97 drivers from toshiba site (5.10.0.5820), same problem.
Looking for advice from anyone who may have this experience. I vaguely recall solving
a similar problem on my Sony Vaio.
thanks, jcs
Solved!

I want to normalize volume output... how?

Hey guys,
I have a media center and I want to normalize the audio output.
Because the computer has so many sources for media, the volumes of those sources are so varied... I want to push the audio output to something like logic and use an au like leveler which will increase the volume of low volume output and compress high volume output...
Any ideas on how I can do this?
Thanks!!!
