Help Low volume with speakers and earphones

When i play music without earphones or speakers it's pretty loud but if i plug either of those in, the volume on them is pretty low. My volume is all the way up on my phone and speakers and the speakers work great on my cousin's evo. What's the deal? How do i fix this?
 
Is just the Force itself. I believe everyone that has one of these phones has the same problems with volume
 
hey guys i have the same problem I even have a fiio E12 850mw amp and its pretty sad on this device now with my ipod and my lod cable it is to much wide open . Now I had the HTC one sv and it was amazing with the beats audio ... just as good as my ipod or my comp using a DAC.. now is there any way to just turn off the internal amplifier to just a digital signal that would be great FIIO has a dac just for andriod coming out but its just gonna be a 350mw version id rather stick with my big boy
 
I don't understand what the issue is. When I use my earphones the music is just fine. I have to lower the volume most of the time. Maybe the type of music that you guys are playing was produced on a lower volume.

Likewise, I have yet had a hiccup with the hardware/software and not rooted.
 
Maybe some but not me, and I have to say that the volume level out of them 3.5 jack on this thing sucks. At least with Pandora anyway.

I'm starting to see a disturbing trend with our device. Some have issues with volume some do not. Some can run my kernel and others can not. I'm starting to think that even though we all have a force, we don't all have the same hardware. Sounds far fetched but its happened in the past.
 
Only way to tell is to run an Antutu Benchmark. It gives you everything you would ever have to know spec wise for the phone. I got all the legit hardware, but I wouldn't be surprised if ZTE took some shortcuts

It gives you an overview, but not detail. An example would be the warp having two different LCD panels. Now both versions of them warp have the adreno 205, so to antutu they appear the same. When work started on the kernel the issue became apparent because the drivers for the updated LCD were not selected in the kernel source.
 
Would we be able to tell if our phones are any different by looking at any numbers?
And how could previous kernel versions have worked with all phones but not the latest if our phones supposedly have different hardware?

the stock kernel was tailored specifically for the force. Matrix kernel and the CM10 kernel are built off the source from the avid, which was the closest thing we could get our hands on. The CM10 kernel is unmodified from the original source code and seems to boot on all devices. Matrix kernel has overclocked cpu gpu, and L2. If two phones have different memory moduels that would explain why the kernel would work with some phones and not others.

The same would be true for the audio. Different hardware. Different sound quality.

The only way to truely know what's in the phone is to pull it apart, and please do not do that. I can fix the kernel, and we can eventually fix the audio issue for all.
