Balanced StereoSound & StereoRecord patch - Nexus 5X Original Android Development

Balanced stereo sound and stereo record with true left/right channel recording
Most stereo modifications do not take into account the lower volume of the conversation speaker, which is why the sound when playing in a polyphonic speaker is much louder. I corrected the gain values, for a more equal sense of loudness. This is especially noticeable when watching movies with a small number of low frequencies.
When you hold the smartphone with the buttons up, the recording of the channels is in the correct position. All the modifications, that I came across earlier, wrote a sound in an inverted position, because of the inverted position of our camera.
Installing:
Download attached file, and flash it throw TWRP
Or you can use magisk module from this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76085341&postcount=4
With best wishes, AlexUnderKH
UPD:
Corrected the position of the channels during playback. It seems that now it sounds right. Files are updated

I edited a magisk module from other thread with sound modification and replaced with your modification. Works. If you allow to upload it here.
Edit: Also edited the module prop file with the whole info of the thread. The magisk module works, I'm waiting when you give permission to upload the magisk module there.

Thank you both for this awesome mod - completely overhauls the sound.

First off, you should credit the persons whose original work you've used for this mod, namely chdloc for the stereo recording and sshafranko whose stereo surround sound mod you seem to have based your files on. I can see that you've changed some of the digital volume gains (and added a frequenzy cutoff), but you seem to have boosted it for the headphones too quite a bit. I cannot however see that you've made any changes to the stereo recording compared to the original other than boosting the recording volumes. You have changed the lines
Code:
<!-- Incall Recording -->
<ctl name="MultiMedia1 Mixer VOC_REC_UL" value="1" />
<ctl name="MultiMedia1 Mixer VOC_REC_DL" value="1" />
<ctl name="MultiMedia8 Mixer VOC_REC_UL" value="1" />
<ctl name="MultiMedia8 Mixer VOC_REC_DL" value="1" />
<!-- Incall Recording End -->
from 0 to 1, but as far as I can tell, that doesn't have anything to do with the stereo recording. In fact, with the original mod my channels are already in the correct position when recording with the buttons on top. You also haven't increased the bitrate for the audio recorded so you're getting a quite low bitrate per each channel.

---

Mhm … If I put my N5X to the left, so the buttons are on the upper side the playback channels are reversed like in all other stereo mods before. Left channel sound comes out of the bottom speaker, right channel out of the upper one. Back to DualMonoV2 for me.

You can use any mods, that you want - it's not my business. So where i took files - not your business. All files, that i used, included in official firmware for Nexus 5X
I did not upload them from XDA. So, you can tell me anything, but in first post i sad, what i did personally.

When you base your modifications on someone elses original work, you should always credit them.

I made this modifications to faithfully play the video on other devices, at the request of one of the owners of Nexus 5X, and not to view the videos on the smartphone.
If you do not like it, do not use it.

I don't know, who did this mod first time... So I can not credit anyone. I did not upload original files from xda...

I changed only mixer_path, not media_profiles

Your code
Code:
<path name="camcorder-stereo">
<ctl name="AIF1_CAP Mixer SLIM TX7" value="1" />
<ctl name="AIF1_CAP Mixer SLIM TX8" value="1" />
<ctl name="SLIM TX8 MUX" value="DEC7" />
<ctl name="DEC7 MUX" value="DMIC1" />
<ctl name="SLIM TX7 MUX" value="DEC10" />
<ctl name="DEC10 MUX" value="DMIC3" />
<ctl name="SLIM_0_TX Channels" value="Two" />
<ctl name="DEC7 Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="DEC10 Volume" value="84" />
</path>
is the same as the code by chdloc (whom I mentioned in my first post) except for slightly different order and volume. You also mentioned that all the other modifications you had come across wrote the sound in inverted position so you must have seen it then as he's the only person who's done it (and you're still using the same positions as he is). But anyways, I don't want to argue. If you did do it all by yourself and didn't copy anything from anyone else, then good job. :good:

It is possible that initially the file was made exactly by those you are talking about, but 100% I can not know about it And what exactly did it myself - i wrote in the first post

---

path name "speaker-gain-default" can be remove from mixer_paths.xml
this path never used as I see
thanks for this patch!
btw, you can use "Multi-quote" to reply those posts

This patch is pretty sweet Thanks!

same problem over here.
Is there an Nexus 5X speaker mod with real division of left and right audio channel for the upper and the lower speaker?
