Adjust volume on Android

The sound is one of the most important features of any smartphone or tablet, so it is vital that the sound is loud enough and of high quality. In this article, we will talk about how to adjust the volume on your Android device, and also improve the quality of the sound.

The sound quality can be divided into several basic parameters:

  • Volume — it should be sufficient enough to hear the phone ring in a very noisy place or listen to the music from the loudspeaker
  • The exact reproduction of the audio file, matching of the amplitude to the desired frequency
  • A number of noises — it is unlikely that you will enjoy listening to “rhonchal” or “choking” dynamic at full or even medium volume

We will discuss each of these parameters in more detail and how to adjust system volume settings in general. Apart from that, it also important to mention how to adjust sound and video volume.

A number of noises on Android directly depends on the hardware of your device, or more precisely on the audio chip and sound output system, whether it’s speaker, headphones or external speaker. The devices of the upper price segment usually have high-quality audio chips with excellent sound, and when the cost of the device flows, the quality of audio chip is normally also low, with rare exceptions. It is fair to say the same about the external dynamic, therefore, it is practically impossible to lower a number of noises on a properly configured device.

Hope that this info how to adjust the volume was useful!
