How to improve sound quality and boost volume on Android

Not all smartphones have the speaker quality or volume levels to make your stereo envious. These two issues—along with poor speaker placement—can get in the way of you enjoying the sound. Here are a few tips to help you improve sound quality and increase volume on Android. You can try a speaker booster or volume booster app, but plenty can be improved with a little audio know-how.

Jump to a solution:

Check your settings

You could optimize your Android audio experience through the settings. Not all Android UIs have this feature, however, so it won't work for everyone. If your device has it, the procedure is easy, though. And once you've done it for the first time you will be able to quickly enhance your audio settings in the future.

For Samsung devices you need to plug in whichever audio device you want to use (if you're using one) and do the following:

  1. Enter Settings and tap Sounds and vibration.
  2. From there hit Sound quality and effects. You should have a series of options to enhance your audio experience.

MIUI from Xiaomi has an enhancer for headphones. Just toggle it on and pick the type you're using. You should have a choice between in-ear and normal headphones.

Xperia UI allows you to use the ClearAudio setting and has an equalizer. You can get to it through the settings.

With HTC's Sense UI you can toggle BoomSound but there's really no reason to turn it off, as the audio is terrible without it on. You can't optimize your audio settings from Oxygen, LG UI, or Stock Android.

Download a new music app

You have the option of replacing the stock music app with one that includes more audio control. We recommend Poweramp or PlayerPro as our top music apps for Android. Both are jam-packed with audio tweaks, presets, bass boost, and more. Just make sure your music folders are checked in the app settings.

Poweramp offers a 10-band EQ for serious tuning. You'll have to pay a couple of bucks to access all the best features but once you do you'll never look back.

Several of our readers have also recommended PlayerPro as an alternate music app. The software offers advanced audio configuration options as well as many ways to customize the visual experience too. PlayerPro costs $3.99 but there's also a free trial version available for the curious.

For more options on the best apps for your favorite jams on Android, check out our article for more music player apps:

Use a speaker booster/volume booster app

Music player apps like the above are great, but of course, it only works from within the app. So what if you want to boost speaker sound overall? This is a little controversial because the fact is that even though there are many apps on the Play Store that claim to do this, compatibility is iffy, and using an app to force your speakers past their default max can actually damage your phone's hardware.

So while you may find the right volume booster app for your device and OS, it may take some digging, and while testing this, don't crank it all the way up straight away!

${app-wait.what.volumebooster}

Download an Equalizer app

The default audio controls on most phones are not exactly comprehensive. Some include a basic EQ but it often only works within the default music app and provides no control over audio not played through the music player.

It's important to note that no app works miracles when the hardware is not working properly but with a couple of simple adjustments your sound quality can be improved significantly. So hit the Play Store and get yourself a decent EQ. We can recommend both Music Volume EQ and Bass Booster.

Know your speaker placement

It may seem silly, but the first thing you need to know is where the sound is coming from on your smartphone. Lots of phones have twin speaker grills, but often only one of them produces any sound. If your speaker is blocked then the sound quality will be low or non-existent.

Test out where your sound is coming from by playing some tunes and covering the various holes on your phone until you know exactly where the audio is coming from. There shouldn't be too many places for a speaker to hide and, once you've found them, you can get started on finding the problem.

Once you know whether your speakers are front-facing, bottom-mounted or on the back, you can make more intelligent decisions about how to position your smartphone to give speakers the best chance to shine.

Don't block the speakers when holding your phone (a common mistake when gaming with bottom-mounted speakers) and point the speakers towards you, not away from you.

Check if your case is blocking a speaker

If your phone has a protective case or cover, it will affect the quality of the sound you get from the speakers. All those vibrations coming from inside your phone will be muffled by the additional layer of plastic or rubber that the manufacturer won't have taken into account when designing its speaker system.

Not all case makers understand the subtleties of your device. Some cases block essential parts of the phone like the audio jack, microphone or speaker. Before you buy a case be sure that you check to see that it won't block anything.

Use headphones

The simple fact is that most smartphone speakers are simply not good enough to get decent sound quality out of, even with a fancy music app or EQ. This is where a decent pair of headphones can help (some audio settings in your phone won't even work without headphones plugged in).

Check out our list of the best headphones and see how much of a difference a serious set of headphones can make to your smartphone audio. Not all headphones are created equal and there are different types for various situations. Make sure you look through and find the one that best suits you.

Use a smart speaker

Headphones are great on the go, but what about at home? Nowadays many prefer to put the phone down when they get to the house and use a voice assistant to manage their daily tasks and that includes entertainment such as music. Now accessing your favorite playlists is as simple as asking into the air.

Not only do the original smart speakers such as Google Home and Amazon Echo also double as music speakers (at least, the larger ones), but audio specialists such as JBL and Sonos are offering their own smart speakers with Alexa or Google Assistant for audiophiles who want to go with their favorite brand.

Check out our reviews to see which smart speaker may be best for you:

Boost speaker volume

If you are rooted, there are plenty of app options out there that can bypass the max volume of the Android system with a few simple tweaks. Check out our ultimate guide on how to root Android for more details. If you don't want to root your phone or simply aren't convinced by the distortions that most volume-booster apps in the Play Store end up producing, then there are still a few things you can do.

Get to know a little about sound waves. If you position your phone in a corner and fire the speaker's output towards it, you'll get a louder, 'bassier' reverberation than if it was just shooting out into the room. The same logic applies to any object: put your phone in a box, against a bowl or in a glass (empty, of course) and you might be amazed to hear how much louder your speaker suddenly is.

How do you improve the sound quality on your phone? Have you found any reliable volume booster apps? Let us know in the comments.

    There is no easy (=cheap) way to boost sound quality on a smartphone.
    -Buy an external DAC/Amp, like Creative labs Super X-fi AMP or Dragonfly.
    -Buy a good headphone set, I chose Beyerdynamic DT 770 pro 80 Ohms
    -Buy the best android player app, USB Audio Player pro.
    We are talking about $250 here, but it's worth the cost.

      It was an easy way to have it built-in one mobile -> Alcatel Idol 4 with Waves Maxx Audio,
      Equalizer should stay unchanged but Waves provided to users such a thing ->
      BassBoost
      TrebleBoost
      Revive (Reverb)
      Virtualization
      That is what I called MUSIC for a fan of shoegaze or any WALL OF SOUND genre it was amazing... but the phone got broken and I think that I will get the same one... Even the times have changed well that quality of music is incomparable to anything else...

    for anyone with root and unlocked bootloader, the only way to go is ARISE sound mod. totally modular and contains every sound mod you could ever want. it takes a bit of getting used to when installing, but once installed can totally change the way you view (hear) your device.

    This comment is for people that root. Watch out for some rooted apps, if you’re rooted. A combination of two sound apps in magisk(plus deep buffer remover), made me have to flash back to stock(my one and only time on this phone). Do your homework first, get info on possible problems, just like you’d do with medicine, or your phone will get very sick!

    No real problems with sound output, though had a headscratcher once where the media slider was off while others were working - couldn't find it. I almost never listen to device speakers - outdoors its some good but not extravagant headphones, they just keep breaking and ambient city noise fuddles acoustic snobbery. At home a "male / male" input cable connects devices to either the living room stereo "Aux" jack, or decent peripheral speakers attached to a PC. Much better to listen to streaming services or Youtube videos that way or via chromecast: more comfortable and far better speakers and screens.

    Update 180911 - My new (Lenovo) tablet came with Dolby sound preinstalled, surprisingly configurable and effective. Worth checking for.

    Without doubt the best music app is the excellent Playerpro - it has an additional add on DSP pack which provides enhanced audio features - resampler 48khz - dithering method - 32 bit output - full high end equaliser - bass boost/virtualizer - reverb effect gain - reply gain - pre-amplification - clipping prevention.
    It provides a high quality music player with Artist/album artwork (fully customisable) - fully editable ID3 tags - download skins - lyric finder (musixmatch/Internet/quick lyric) - lock screen & widgets.

    I don't normally promote one app over the next, but if you are a music fan and enjoy high quality then I highly recommend Playerpro.

    Peace 🖖🏼

        I must admit there were certain settings and features that I was unsure about, if you get the mixture wrong you'll certainly know about it, but after reading one or two articles it becomes clearer. I would certainly recommend playing around with it to suit your own audio preferences

    Ever since i found my best music application on Android,i have been using PlayerPro,which offers a Dsppack,which really helps you set the volume on this Super music player,it so easy to set up,and offers you searching on the internet to Find the correct Album image for any music you add to the player,but the reason i do like Playerpro as it offers the Exit function once you finished using the music player

    The point you made about the placement of your device is very helpful, the effects of an alternative music player to your stock one can only really be had through earphones however, with only any any real benefits being had through attaching a portable speaker, or to your home system. This is obviously not ideal if your out and about, however with a good set of headphones and a portable sound amp for a best personal experience, and a separate speaker if there is a few people to enjoy music or a movie, you can even use a pass-through if your headphones allows for it. But until some major technological breakthrough in phone speaker build, these I find are the best alternatives.

    Volume Booster GOODEV

    Thats the app i use to increase overall volume control. However, you need to be very careful as boost the levels too much & you risk frying your audio! Anywhere from 5-20% boost is normally safe yet if you start to hear any distortion, reduce the boost amount immediately.

    For playback, i use:

    MX Player
    VLC player

    The problem i find with a lot of these EQ apps is that sure, you can boost a certain frequency, yet the overall volume level seems to drop once you go past a certain level.
    So on that note, I'm still on the hunt for a decent one. For the time being, I'm using the stock effects through android settings on my devices.

    AND for rooting your devices?

    If it's still under warranty, DON'T.. You'll invalidate it & can easily be left with a hunk of plastic, metal & glass which will be your new door stop!
    ONLY Root if you know what you're doing & accept the consequences if you end up bricking your device.

    I bought a simple bluetooth receiver and hooked it up to my stereo system or will use a portable bluetooth speaker when outside etc, I have a dedicated bluetooth shower speaker in the bathroom.
    Let's face it any modification to the smartphone speaker won't do anything good, the size of the speakers limits anything to little tweaks. Use a proper sound system, with Bluetooth or wireless connection it makes sense.

      This is probably the smartest reply on here. Think people forget that tablets/phones just don't have the accoustics for reproducing the "wow" sounds. whilst you can get some pretty decent sounds out of some, as you said, use a proper sound system. Either bluetooth, USB, or Wi-Fi the sound around.

Yo need to buy a dedicated music player for those needs, i would highly suggest buying from apple ipod range. they are super cheap and worth every penny. Lastly i would say , Panasonic or Philips portable musics will also work fine, they look like a thumb drive and you can find one in stores as cheap as $15. I also own one for gym , it works like a charm and battery lasts really long

    These apps do not work, they lower the volume instead of boosting the volume, test your sound without theses apps and your sound is louder and better quality. You will have to use either Bluetooth wireless speakers or headphones to increase your volume and quality of sound on Android tablets period. No app works for increasing volume or quality.

    the speakers won't give you more than they give you and if you force them for more, first will distort the sound and after a while it will leave you in silence 'coz they broke, pfffft, you all should know that and even with earphones, if you don't know the ohms that the device has as output, you won't hear better, in here depends on what kind too, i usually use the inside ear earphones which makes you think that are louder for taking away the surrounding sounds...

    For videos I use MX player, using the H/W+ or S/W codec you can push your volume up to 30 instead of the standard 15, it really does get louder, maybe not double though.
    It has an ooption for audio but Havent tried that, I only listen to audio with my headphone, I find that the quality of the headphones then make the most difference.

    The best way is by tying *#*#364663349#*#* in the phone directory. Go to 'Hardware Testing' section, tap on 'Audio' and on 'Normal', 'Headset' and 'LoudSpeaker Mode', go to 'Max Vol' and set to 160(highest value).

      Hey Bryan,
      I have a galaxy note 2. I typed that in and nothing. Don't some phones have different codes to access the system? Or is this, as with most technical problems, user error?

      Thanks in advance for your help.

    The BEST way to double or even triple the sound of ANY smart phone such as a Samsung is just simply place your phone OVER or into a dry ceramic bowl..cereal bowl..shallow glass..or if that's not available use a glass or ceramic plate..so simple..so obvious.. you don't need an app..
    sometimes..common sense is the best info..
    INSTANTLY DOUBLE THE SOUND ..
    AND IT'S FREE..
    Your welcome!

      Interesting method C. Mike, though I don't think I would walk around with my smartphone in a bowl :) Perhaps at home though!

      So you walk around the city with your phone over a bowl, glass or plate?! Yep, common sense right enough!

        Most people have these common things around them most times...just hold your hand cupped under your phone...
        If you had some common sense,, you could have answered your own question..
        Your just a hater..who is apparently a troll.

        in fact, there are many different applications for improving the sound quality, but of course I don't know very much about phones, but for example, on a computer I use the application soundapp.suddenly who wants to improve the sound and remove various hiss and extraneous sounds, then go in and use :)

      What app are you talking about from the two listed, Doug? Also, do you have another, possibly better app that you could suggest?
