Erica Sadun recently posted a tip on a possible volume boost which involved tweaking a system framework. She noticed that it's set at 0.7 by default and decided to set it to 0.99. The results? Subjectively she felt there may have been a difference, though she wasn't sure. However, in the wake of her tip, Nick Penree created an Installer package which made the tweak automagically. We gave it a try and, although the idea sounds good, haven't been able to determine conclusively whether the tweak actually makes a difference.<!--break-->
Erica <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2007/12/07/iphone-volume-tweak-followup/" target="_blank">tested the tweak</a> using her Radio Shack sound level meter today and has determined that, if the iPhone does go up to 11, this isn't the way it's done.
If you want to give it a try yourself, you can grab AudioAmp from the "Tweaks 1.1.2" section of Installer.app. We'd love to hear what you think, although we believe that it doesn't do much if anything.
