Question Increase volume to headset

[Apostata]

Hi all, I picked up a Logitech headset (H570) for better outgoing voice quality, and while it's great, I've also noticed the incoming volume is limited (nowhere near as loud as I can crank media volume), and there's nothing on my Samsung S24FE that seems to boost this. I've tried apps like XBooster and Precise Volume but they only affect media volume. I've heard that the app RE Equalizer might work, but I apparently I might have to root the system, and that feels a little hardcore (and there's no free trial to see if it works as-is). Can anyone confirm whether there is a software solution for this? Cheers!

Welcome to Android Central! Just to be sure -- are you also making sure the volume on the phone itself is cranked up to max (i.e., by using the phone's Volume buttons instead of the headset's)? This kind of behavior is possible on wired headsets, in my experience.

I can confirm that I have done this.

I know this is the obvious followup, but the headset's own volume is also cranked up?

Do you have any native EQ settings on the phone turned on? I recall that EQ can sometimes lower the overall volume, and turning any EQ settings off can sometimes give a boost.

I can confirm that the headset volume is maxed. As for EQ settings, I don't enable them generally. I've tried doing so recently but no significant difference.

Does your phone have a volume limiter for ear protection? https://www.samsung.com/us/support/...turn-off-volume-limit-on-your-phone-or-tablet
