[Q] Which values to tweak in order to increase in-call volume (mixer_paths.xml) - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a rooted z2 and I would like to know which values to modify in the mixer_paths.xml file in order to boost the in-call volume, could you please help with this ?
Things that I already did:
- make sure that volume is already at its max during call
- try music app and noticed loud and clear sound so the speakers are fine
- tried several apps to boost volume to no avail
I have attached the file, please feel free to suggest which lines to edit

[Q] How disable loud volume warning for the i9100

Based on this solution for the S3 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722136
Seems it doesn't fit with the S2, after reboot, same message coming again everytime I plug my headset and increase the volume. As proposed I've added the "default_gain.conf" file to system/etc, tried it like that and also edited with value set to 100 (headset vol).
Anyone please can tell me what file(s) to modify/add in order to get this fixed ? Or any other solution.
Many thanks

[Q] How can I boost speaker volume?

[HELP] In call volume is too low or inaudible and Mic. is also has a problem

Hey, i have a problem with Z2 that the incall volume is too low or inaudible... i don't know why is this??
I'm using Existenz Marshmallow 2.0 latest without any modifications.. so is there is any tweak or flashable zip or anything that increase the incall volume and make it clear?????
Another problem that alot of people had told me that they cannot hear my voice clearly so what is the problem?? is there is anything to improve my mic.??
Notes: (A) The problems still appear in the two cases of each of that:
1- Checking or Unchecking for Microphone noise suppression.
2- Checking or Unchecking for Speaker voice enhancement.
(B) The problem of incall volume and mic. not a hardware problem because it appear in some roms and it be solved completely in other roms like Existenz v1.0.5 4.4 [KK] so it's a software problem
So is there is any solution for incall volume and Mic. ?? Please help!!!!!
Under sound settings turn mic gain to high. Might help.

try this flashable to increase call volume. Worked for me although I'm on Stock MM. 570

In-call volume (speakerphone) and Mic gain using Mixerpath.xml

Hi,
Does anybody here have the knowledge of editing mixerpath.xml for inceasing in-call volume and mic gain and increasing call CLARITY ???
I see that there are multiple mixerpath xmls in system/vendor/etc and also there are multiple "volumes" default value for all is 84.
I wen ahead and cahnged all 84 to 92 but i think thats not how it works.,
Some value is for top mic sensivity for noise cancellation and one is for real bottom mic sensitivity and one if for speaker voilume and one for earpiece volume.
If somebody with the knowledge can be kind enough to let me know what values are what?
TIA
I am months same question to this, a unique way to get and change the custom kernel that has the volume control configurable via the application kernel manager. I wanted to do the same manually in the file mixer xml as well, but it seems that nobody got it, or hides how to do it.

Volume Steps

I find I can't lower the notification volume and ringtone volume low enough.
Does anyone know how to change the volume steps? I have sound assistant but it only works for media volume...
I'm rooted if it helps and I've tried the AOSP based rom solution of changing the build prop but with no success.
Thanks for any help!
Have you tried "sound assistant" app. It is from Samsung and has function you are looking for.

Ah my bad, don't know how I missed it. It is possible in two ways:
01- Get a custom kernel with volume modification support. I use a Galaxy S7edge with Surround sound, this makes the sound loud and more immersed but it has a drawback. The low threshold of volume is too high same as yours. I usually have a problem with the in-call earpiece audio which is too loud for me. I use MoroKernel and luckily a recent update brought the feature of MoroSound providing fine control over gains of 2-microphones, earpiece, and main speaker. You can also look for a kernel with such features for your device.
02- Manually modifying the sound configuration files. That is a bit difficult but good research with a bit of experimenting will eventually get you there.

Any chance you know how to mod the sound config files on an S21? Unfortunately there are no custom kernels yet for the Exynos version

Yes, go to /etc/mixer-gains.xml and edit it. Drawback is your device entire volume range will be affected like for media and stuff. One more way and probably the more practical one just hit me.
Find your ringtone and notification tone from /system/media/audio/ or download them from google and use a software like Audacity or Adobe Audition to reduce their volume.
You reduce your phone's volume to the lowest and match pc's volume with it. Then reduce the audio gain in the software until you feel comfortable with it. Export it and use it.
For anyone interested. My solution ended up being the following, with my end goal being too optimize my audio with Dolby and have the volume still be lower (but optimized) on the phone speaker.
I tried a ton of different apps, a few magisk volume steps modules, ViperFX with Dolby and finally I found a good solution.
Turn off the default Dolby stuff on the phone.
Install Dolby Atmos ZTE A2019 PRO for magisk (google it and find it on GitHub).
Reboot.
Install JamesDSP from ZackPTG5's website.
Reboot.
Install Audio Modification library to use Dolby and JamesDSP at the same time.
Reboot.
Create a custom equalizer in Dolby and try max things out as much as possible with it still sounding great.
Open JamesDSP, go to Speaker, set limiter threshold to -5, go to post gain and set it to -10. Turn on the master switch. Leave everything else unless you want to change any Bluetooth or headphone settings. Hide the persistent JamesDSP notification.
Reboot.
Install Audio Compatibility module with all the recommended settings.
Reboot.
Result, Dolby Atmos handles all the audio, increases the volume, applies optimizations system wide. However because volume steps are tricky to change on this phone we are stuck with the phone speaker volume being too loud even on the lowest setting. JamesDSP lowers the volume to the built-in speakers but we still get the Atmos experience we want. Everything else I assume you want to be louder anyway, like Bluetooth and headphones.
Audio Modification Library makes James and Dolby work together.
Audio Compatibility Patch fixes some issues with certain apps not using the sound mods.
Success! You get Dolby Atmos everywhere, but it doesn't max out the phone speaker volume, but it will still max out everything else. Oh and you can also change whatever other settings you want in JamesDSP.
