Movie on Nexus 7

**Michaeljoe1218** · 01-11-2013, 08:58 PM

I put a couple movies on my Nexus 7. They look pretty good but the volume doesnt go loud enough. I am using MX Player. I am converting them with Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate.

Dice player let's you up the volume in addition to the buttons. Give it a try.

I got it but I don't see any volume buttons other than the ones on the Nexus.

The volume on MX Player can be increased by dragging your finger up on the right side of the screen.

FWIW, the Nexus 7's speaker kinda sucks. You're better off listening to movies through headphones or ear buds.

On MX Player, I think volume can go higher if you use the Software Decoder for audio.

also external speakers can be used either wired or bluetooth. I plug my output into an AMP w surround sound when I want to go hog-wild.

sample cable to use - Amazon.com: Belkin Audio Y Cable Splitter 1-Mini Plug, 2-RCA Plugs (6 feet): Electronics

Tap the HW top right and switch to SW. Doubles the volune, but not only are the speakers not loud, their also fragile...

Great, thanks to all who helped. Software decoder did the trick plus finding the volume control on the right.

Just in case, same action on the left is brightness, and across the top is fast forward/reverse....

You can also select H/W + decoder to get the extended volume adjustment.

Alternatively at the conversion stage, if you use Handbrake for conversion go to the audio settings and adjust the 'Gain' setting to '10'. Found this to be the standard gain increase for optimum volume on the Nexus 7.

Isn't that the other way around?

I have never used any software of wondershare. Personally, I often use to help me converter the videos in order to enjoy the videos on my Samsung galaxy note 10.1. Really helpful. Also, I like the nexus 7 too. Powerful specs, but is hard for wait.
I like watch videos on my htc one x and on my tablet. It is amazing and funny.
