What the heck happend to my headset volume in 4.2.1?

[patruns]

The max volume has dramatically dropped in the Play Music app after the latest update. It was never great, but at least you could compensate somewhat by tweaking the EQ settings. No more. Anyone else notice this?

No one else?

You are not the only one, and the worst part about it there is not even a PIP from Google to fix this Issue. And they want you to buy another Nexux?????

Screwing with the EQ does nothing as I mentioned in the original post.

4.1.1 on my S3 has the same problem. Using Smart Volume Control+ to do what the OS is not capable of doing.

Same problem with my Nexus 7. I try connecting external speakers and it is horribly low.

Any solutions?

I talked to a dev from one of the programs that boosted the volume very well before 4.2 and he said there is nothing that can be done as Google changed something to prevent being able to make changes to the sound. I think he said they might have changed the global equalizer API. Now I was able to hook up a BT speaker at home and it sounds great and is quite loud when listening to music.
