Modern smartphones offer improved audio quality and louder speakers, but sometimes it may not seem up to the mark or the volume feels too low. Before upgrading to a new phone, try tweaking some built-in settings or using third-party apps to boost your audio experience.
**1. Pick a High-Quality Audio Codec**
Use headphones or speakers connected via Bluetooth? Choose a high-quality codec like LDAC for better sound quality. To change the codec, go to Settings > Developer Options > Bluetooth Audio Codec and select LDAC.
**2. Disable Media Volume Limit and Bluetooth Absolute Volume**
Disable these features to uncap your phone’s speaker volume. Go to Settings > Sounds and Vibration > Volume and toggle off “Media volume limit.” Also, enable “Disable absolute volume” in Developer Options.
**3. Adjust Equalizer Settings**
Customize the equalizer settings to enhance audio quality. Open Settings > Sounds and Vibration > Sound quality and effects > Equalizer, and experiment with different presets or manually adjust sliders for frequencies.
**4. Enable Dolby Atmos**
Turn on Dolby Atmos to create a surround sound effect. Go to Settings > Sounds and Vibration > Sound quality and effects, and toggle on “Dolby Atmos.”
**5. Use a Volume Booster App**
Use third-party apps like Volume Booster GOODEV to boost your speaker volume or connect with headphones. Be cautious of the risks, but these apps can be effective in increasing audio output.
By trying out these simple settings tweaks, you may find that your Android phone’s audio quality has improved significantly.
