I know that other sound boost apps have a warning, so I am putting it in. I can't afford to destroy a couple of devices to test this.

I don't do anything undocumented here: all I do is ramp up every equalizer band. The Android SDK doesn't have any warning that I can see. Since all the app does is follow documented APIs, I think if you had any damage, you should be able to make a warranty claim on the device. But I don't want to take responsibility.

And of course if you plug in earphones and ramp up the volume, you can get ear damage. This presumably depends on too many variables to test: the precise type of sound you're listening to, your hearing and the type of earphones.
