Hey guys. As I've mentioned in other posts I have an issue with the newer android builds because they have an audio limiter/compressor/auto gain control built in which greatly reduces the output of the headphone jack making it hard to get good volume from whatever you plug it into and also making the built in speaker do weird things. Anyways I may have found a possible fix but I have no idea how to use these commands in the link. Can somebody please explain how these work? Thanks in advance!

i am not a dev but it seems to be something that applications can use to normalize input from the mic
so i dont think this is related to audio output from mp3 files

Are you familiar with the limiter I speak of? Like when there a soft spot in the music and then hits a loud spot the limiter kicks it down. As an audiophile this is driving me nuts trying to find a way to turn it off lol. Have any ideas? Maybe it's located in build.prop?

its not the build.prop but if you want to play with configure files, you could go into /system/etc there are some conf related to audio there and some more in /system/etc/parameter-frameworks

although if you want to make your tablet look like a Nexus 7 for compatiblities with more apps in the play store u can edit the build.prop for that

Hi, I am new, sorry if this issue is repeated but the search didn't bring any results.
The equalizer apps don't work in my new S3 (stock 4.1.2). The stock Samsung music player equalizer does work, but has very low maximum volume. I tried many equalizer and volume booster apps and no one works at all.
Does anyone know about this issue and what can be done to increase the top volume?
Thanks.

Answer IT'S NOT MY PHONE.
If someone else has some real clue apart from telling me to root my phone or send it to repair, please let me know.
Well, without root and adjust the volume to be ever more
---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------
Then it all mods to audio and increase the volume and sound editing
I love me some Lollipop but it was way to quiet!!!
I modded the stock files from latest LOLLIPOP update. I was tiered of waiting for someone else to do it. So, I figured I would share.
This will only work if...
1. You have root on Verizon S4 with Lollipop
2. You have @Chainfire- Flashfire app installed so you can flash this zip file.
I have included stock sound files if you want to go back..
Flashable Volume boost (not to loud)
Flashable Revert to Stock Volume levels
Galaxy S4 VZW Only. Have not tested on any other devices.
To Flash:
1. Open the FlashFire app and agree to the Terms and Conditions.
2. Press (+) twice to bring up the “Actions” menu.
3. Select “Flash ZIP or OTA” then locate and select the sound-boost-lp.zip. Make certain that “Auto-mount” is unchecked then press the checkmark to continue.
4. Press the lightning bolt then “ok” to begin the flashes. The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flash. Once complete your device will reboot. Done!
Not responsible for you if you flash on something other than what I built this for. And if you do flash it on said device,then I am still not responsible as this is all a risk..
Before flashing any mods you should always make a backup!
I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293133
Thanks to: @jovy23
Great job @joebrady119 ! Makes a Huge difference!
I chose not to flash thru FlashFire. I just extracted the files in ES File Explorer, copy and pasted to /system/etc/snd_soc_msm, and set permissions.
Good deal. Thanks.
Will this affect BT volume as well? <crosses fingers>
My biggest issue is w/BT headset volume.
Thanks!
---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------
Also - why are there two copies of each zip file in the OP for download? They each appear to be the same two files going to the same directory. Am I missing something?
Thanks!
EDIT: Really odd - in the XDA app I only see one of each file. Here in Chrome on my PC I see two of each zip.
---------- Post added at 05:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------
I pushed the files and set permissions and rebooted, and don't think I hear any difference in volume on my BT headset. So maybe this mod won't help w/that volume. I thought I had heard that back when I used this mod on my S4 running JB...

@Redflea I'm in the same boat. I was hoping that this mod would end my quest :fingers-crossed: I've tried everything including V4A. I just can't seem to find something that will increase the core BT volume. With V4A I'm able to increase the bass, clarity and play with the equalizer but it seems I need to do this for songs with bass and songs without bass; it's just not cutting it. I'll keep on searching for something that allows BT audio gain and I'll let you know if I find something.

Yes. They work fine. But the device thinks they become disconnected. It's headphones with a mic on them that are doing it. Speakers work and headphones without a mic work and Viper works because they don't appear as disconnected.
Unfortunately my best ones are my Sol Republic V10's and they are affected.

Do you have any other headphones with mics to try? Seems odd that only that kind is affected.

3 pairs with mics and after I plug them in the says headphones disconnected. Like I said they still have sound but since the device shows them DC'd then so does Viper. Sol V10's, V8's and Beats Solo 2 all with Mics. JBL earbuds w/o a mic work fine, external speakers work fine. It's got to be a driver issue of some sort. Not with Viper but with the ROM

It's when there is a headset control in the live that it does it like on the headphones I have. When I plug in a headphone splitter first and then the headphones, which in turn disables the headset controls, it doesn't do it
Guys, I still can't send adb commands in USB debugging mode. Just before I installed the CM ROM I was using the adb to reboot, push, pull etc.. Now, when I connect the phone, I can't. I checked device manager and saw a yellow icon near 'ascend mate 2'. For some reason, the phone driver had disappeared. That might be the problem. I had the Huawei drivers that come with JB. I installed them to no avail. I have another computer which has Google drivers already installed. I plugged the phone and the result was the same.
@medwatt did you install HiSuite from Huawei website. That's the only way I can get adb to work with Windows 8.1 or 10.
---------- Post added at 06:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 AM ----------
I'll be home around 9 and will plug my phone in to see if it registers on adb. But I had the driver issue before and the only way to resolve it was install HiSuite

Yes, adb has always been working. It only stopped working after I installed CM. Also, HiSuite is designed to work with the Huawei ROM. So, it won't work on a non Huawei ROM.

ADB is working you need to go into settings/developer options/ and enbale root access for apps and adb then enable android debugging after that. Its working for me on Windows 10.
Man, everything is activated. I've been using adb long enough to know what is required to get it working. Check the attached image. Do you have some driver that I need to install. I have always just plugged the phone to the computer and adb was ready to go. The only driver I ever installed was the Huawei driver that came with JB 4.3. Apart from the low speaker volume and this adb issue, the ROM has been very smooth and bug free so far.

I honestly don't know. I didn't install Viper and my ear buds w/ mic work. Did you try changing the compatibility mode, or making it system app? Don't know if those will help.

How to do volume boost on the new CM12.1 builds (rear speaker)
Since I am fairly sure that Viper is not working on this CM12, and I needed something to boost the unbelievably low speaker volume, I decided to do it the simplest way I know how, by editing the mixer_paths.xml file.
Instructions(easy):
Using a root explorer, navigate to /system/etc/, find the file "mixer_paths.xml" file. Rename to "mixer_paths.xml.orig".
Place this file in that same directory>>> Modded mixer_paths.xml (make sure the permissions match the original)
Reboot. Done.
Instructions(manual):
Using a root explorer, navigate to /system/etc/, find the file "mixer_paths.xml" file. Create a backup of this file named "mixer_paths.xml.orig".
Open the original 'mixer_paths.xml" file in a text editor, and find the line that says
Code:
<path name="speaker-lite">
Six lines below that, you should find this line
Code:
<ctl name="RX3 Digital Volume" value="84" />
change it to
Code:
<ctl name="RX3 Digital Volume" value="91" />
Reboot. Done.
If it's too loud for your liking, what with speaker crackling and whatnot, you can always change the 91 to something like 90 or lower. I would not go above 95 however.
What volume does it boost? Rear speaker and ear piece?
Hi.
Maybe someone have solution for volume boost without root?
I need this to. Please, if there's someone? I tried changing the values in system/etc/mixer_paths.xml and change the permissions but it did no difference to sound output (headphones).
This would be much appreciated. Thanks!
launch sony's music app and go to the settings...
you will see that clear audio is on ..
close it and then enter the equalizer and add bass tremble and etc.

I don't think that I can access mixer_path.xml in the first place if I'm not rooted.
I think its in root/etc default_gain.conf .... well i guess you know what to do from here forward
Has anyone had any luck increasing the volume rooted or non-rooted? I am new to editing the mixer paths, what should I be looking for?
You can use Viper4Android there are some boost opions wchich really works
Hey guys!
So I wrote up this post over on the XDA Portal on how to increase the headphone jack volume on the OnePlus 6. I then realised when I updated my device that that change had reset. As a result, I spent a couple of minutes putting together a Magisk module to make that change for you. It works for every OOS version released so far. Just download it below, install it in Magisk and you're good to go! It should work on custom ROMs, but I haven't tried that yet.

I have also made a module which enables acervenky's stereo speaker modification too.

Okay so it did work for me, but it only works for YouTube, not for the stuff downloaded. Whenever I play downloaded music from my music player, it doesn't sound loud, rather it sounds the same. Is there any way that I can increase the volume from my music player?

This really sucks because I have the same problem. I'm using a systemless root with Magisk and I can't directly edit the mixer path file without it reverting. Likewise, I'm unable to load this .zip file in Magisk because it says unsupported file. Any idea how I'm supposed to get this working? I'd really like to see if adjusting this to 90 would help drive my B&O H6 headphones!

This would be great, Bluetooth headphone users don't get the flar2 gain control so we can only alter volume with v4a, which doesn't output enough imo
Thank you brooooooo this world great! :highfive:
Why don't just use V4A FX? it will loud all system volume, you can choose between headphones and speaker and can perform every changes or just loud up the volume...just a suggestion
Guy's, just rename name of the file, for example boost.zip and everything is fine, flashing on magisk work like a charm.

Because v4a isnt systemwide. It breaks on notifications without another magisk module to patch that, and the gain is limited, and the effects arent reliable, they tend to randomly do "Processing: No"

Its systemwide in a Sense, but not really, There is audio ducking on notifications, hence the module "notification_helper remover"
