How to make your device Headphones-set/Speaker louder?
---
The problem is that i need more volumepower, its not loud
enough on my A500FU when i hear music over headphones/sets or speaker.
Because i love Metal in loud and not like a babyfart.
There many apps out, but these not working realy good for me
and the other side is when use it you have one more app on
your device, maybe runs in backround, not needed in all way!!!
---
NO PROBLEM FOR ROOTED USER!!!!
---
UPDATED WITH MIXER FROM LAST AICP11 FROM APRIL 10 FOR A5!!!
---

I HAVE NOT TESTED BUT I THINK ITS WORKING FOR ALL DEVICES/ROMS
WITH THE mixer_path.xml IN SYSTEM, PLEASE REPORT ANYTHING, THX!

For sure root is needed so that u can use a root explorer app, like
Root Explorer, ES File Explorer..etc with full read/write permission
Editing the file on PC is possible too, use Notepad++ or something.
For replace follow same way to file and replace it with the new
one with permission rw-r-r-- 0644, dont forget to mount system before.
When have a explorer open it and navigate to:
system/etc and scroll down until you see the file called:
mixer_path.xml
save a copy from it (just in case), open it with text editor and look
for the following lines to edit its values. There two sections in
which u have to edit lines,in both sections you need same score
Its a little difficult to find this lines, so i have do some shots
to see where u can find it, look on the scrolling line from explorer
on left side,i marked it red, or search the lines, the first three
lines u find directly in the first "area" called:
<mixer>
-
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="84" /> maximum 95
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="84" /> maximum 95
<ctl name="RX3 Digital Volume" value="84" /> maximum 95
-
second three lines u find under the "area" called:
<!-- Device -->
<!-- RX part -->
look for:
<!-- Play Scenario -->
and change the value from following lines to higher score,
but not higher as 95, because it can harms your ears,
headphones/sets and your speaker.look for the path to
edit headphones, headset, speaker blablabla, its named clearly.
-
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="84" /> maximum 95
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="84" /> maximum 95
<ctl name="RX3 Digital Volume" value="84" /> maximum 95
---
For lazy peeps or for looking on it everyday i have uploaded
files that are from different Roms for A500FU,but so far these
are all the same mixer files,just replace set perm and reboot.
---
When ready with editing/replace save it and reboot,now you can
enjoy LOUD music on earphones, headset, speaker etc.
---------
Some user report that they cant find the mixer_path.xml, in some roms/devices its
not available,because they use other files for it.I dont know all the names,but im
search hard to become infos about it,till now i found that in some devices u have to
look for:
system/etc/default_gain.conf
and edit for example you need more volume on speaker,headphones blbla this scores:
Speaker Digital Volume
SPKOUTL Input 1 Volume
SPKOUTR Input 1 Volume
-
But this file is not the only one in android universe of confusion,in newer phones its ok
when following folder is deleted from system and boom the music is louder.Delete this
from system/etc the file called: codec
-
On others its this what u need to change scores in:
etc/tinyalsa-audio.xml
to this:
<device type="speaker">
<path type="enable">
<ctrl name="AD Digital Volume" value="68" />
<ctrl name="Speaker Playback Volume" value="75" />
-
or u must change this filescores:
etc/snd_soc_msm/snd_soc_msm_2x
to this:
SectionDevice
Name "Speaker"
Comment "Speaker Rx device"
EnableSequence
'PRI_RX Channels':0ne
'RX4 MIX1 INP1':0:RX1
'SLIM RX1 MUX':0:AIF1_PB
'SPK DAC Switch':1:1
'RX4 Digital Volume':1:68%
'SPK DRV Volume':2:87.5%
EndSequence
DisableSequence
'RX4 MIX1 INP1':0:ZERO
'SLIM RX1 MUX':0:ZERO
'SPK DAC Switch':1:0
'RX4 Digital Volume':1:0
'SPK DRV Volume':1:0%
EndSequence
-
change to following score,over this it can harm ur device:
'RX4 Digital Volume':1:68%
'SPK DRV Volume':2:87.5%

How to disable Soundalive
Dude I want to use Viper4android. After installing Busybox and Viper4android and rebooting the phone, I am unable to use Viper on my phone. I tried disabling as well as uninstalling soundalive.apk from system using titanium Backup. However, the surprising part is even after Uninstalling Soundalive, it keeps on appearing in Stock Music Player and doesn't allow viper to function.
This soundalive thing is too annoying. Any way to get rid of this crap bloatware....

You need a permissive kernel for that to work
Use this https://mega.nz/#!N1h3CYoI!wK4o42aj8hJyuKvEWgjufJXCtRTKnfhl_yGf_pYfC5U
Works a treat, u will get security warnings thou as Google/Samsung don't like you messing with selinux, I deleted all security crap via link2sd (paid version) and now reboots and selects permissive every time. Google will have a popup now and again telling u its harmful but ignore them.

---

Wow. Thanks man. Will try this.
Also is there any way to increase the default bass level using root explorer. Like for volume, we can modify mixer path. Is there any similar way for bass too???

I've personally not looked into it yet but I'm sure there is something somewhere

selinux method does not work on A5. .
I somehow want to get rid of this annoying Soundalive... Even after deleting the apk file, it runs with the stock music player and doesn't allow any other equalizer to work....
Why the hell did I buy Samsung.. Now I regret as Samsung has become too strict with its software policies for newer phones.
