Low volume with headphones

I'm having very low volume even at max when listening to music with headphones. Are you experiencing the same?
I haven't had this issue.
what music app are you using? try the stock app with SRS WOWHD in equalizer.

No luck for me. I have installed the Honeycomb Music app and removed the Froyo app. This one doesn't have much at all in settings. Anyone else?
Also my loud speaker and phone speaker are simply not loud enough. Any noise at all nearby and I cannot hear the caller talking. Do you think there will be fixes for this?

I suggest to get the stock Music app back, your will be surprised by the SRS WOWHD equalizer with a good earplug
Try experimenting with the values in /system/etc/hwVolumeFactor.cfg. I haven't tried modifying this as I don't have an issue but I'm sure it's what you're looking for. It only has values for wired headset and speaker though, so whether speaker is both earpiece and loudspeaker or just loudspeaker I don't know. Give it a go and post your results.
@stockwell
You are right.
You have to increase the value "wired_headset". I changed mine from 60 to 70 and now it works prefectly with my on-ear headset. A bit too loud at max though.
If you need assistance feel free to ask ;-)
@AliWam- Please give instructions. Will be appreciated.
Hi !
Do i need to root my phone to change the value to 65 or above?
I cant save the changes because the mapp is write protected
Hey,
I'm sorry for the late reply, quite busy these days.
I take no responsibility for any harm that comes to your phone as a result of applying this mod.
1. You need a rooted device (e.g. z4root), Busybox[1] installed and a text editor (e.g. Text Editor from Market).
2. Open /system/etc/hwVolumeFactor.cfg in the text editor, replace the value(s) as you like and save it as a new file e.g. /mnt/sdcard/myVol.cfg. The file might look like this:
Code:
speaker=80
wired_headset=70
3. Remount the related partition writeable:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
4. Copy your new file and replace the old system file:
Code:
cp /mnt/sdcard/myVol.cfg /system/etc/hwVolumeFactor.cfg
5. Reboot your phone and then the new values should be applied.
------
[1]I'm not sure if you really need Busybox installed for these steps.
no sdk
To change the volume without the SDK (not use console command).
- install on your computer AndroidCommander
- in the phone menu choose the "applications / developer / debugging usb"
- connect phone to a PC
- run AndroidCommander on your computer.
- find / system / etc / hwVolumeFactor.cfg in AndroidCommander (right panel is a telephone system files)
- copy the file "VolumeFactor.cfg" to your computer and change values
- in the left window AndroidCommander find the edited file and move (copy) to "/ system / etc / hwVolumeFactor.cfg" on the window phone.
- disconnect the phone and restart
In this way you can change other files, but be careful .
Guys, i try all this even tho my phone is rooted when i paste my new file says its read only and when i try at android commander it says not rooted even tho it is i checked with root checker !!
any ideas ?

I had no success changing the values in the file / system / etc / hwVolumeFactor.cfg using "es explorer" so upon advice in another thread I bought Root Explorer in the Market and it works. Once you are in the etc folder press the Mount R/W button and then you can edit the .cfg file by longpressing on it. It will auto create a backup. I increased my values to 99 and 70.
I also found from a poster here that the stock music player has an equalizer that you only see once you select a track to play. The default setting is very quiet but the SRS WOWHD is much better. Happy listening
Sorry for my silliness in advance guys. I can't make Android Commander work. It says "device not found". Have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Make sure you have debugging enabled on the phone:
Go to settings > applications > development
Then enable USB debugging.

[Request] OnePlus 2 - Volume Mod

Hi All,
The OP2 has a very low speaker volumes. Can someone mod this or help in editing the required files for increasing the volume of the speaker?
Attached is the stock mixer_path.xml
Even I tried many times to mod mixer_path but no luck..
Hope will get succeed very soon...
Maybe this works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54546620&postcount=2
Already tried this.. Increased the volume to 92..but still no luck..even I tried editing the mixer_paths_i2s.xml but the volume still remains the same..

How to improve the phone's headset volume?

Hey, my H7 is rooted, and running Emui 4.0 (B320).
I love the phone but i think the sound volume is just too low. I've download Xtreme music package as long as viper4android, but the volume is still too low.
I've try to modify mixer_paths.xml, like i did with my galaxys, but i can't find it with root browser on this phone.
I've tried to modify local_prop in CUST/hw/Eu/prop to remove the volume limitation but there is not the line ro.config.hw.security_volume as it is on other phones. (tutorial for other phones including this technique here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531673 )
There is no codec folder either, so i can't try the solution by removing it.
There is an Audio folder tho, under system/etc/ and within it, there are a dozen of folder, and one called Hi6402 containing a lot of mixer_paths files like CARRERA DAVINCE GRACE etc, and a lot of mixer_volumes files with the same name. Both have a default version.
There is no line allowing to modify the volume in the mixer_paths.xml file, but there are plenty in the mixer volume one. Could this be it? I don't know what to change, as all the others file have this lines too, and there are plenty of them.
Thanks for the help.
There is a file with a volume security in HW_OEM/PROP, but changing the values didnt change a thing. I'm doing further investigations.
Dude, you're going to break your ears![emoji14]I don't know about managing maximum volume but quick question : you successfully installed Viper4Android?? Last time I tried, drivers won't install correctly and nothing changed when I activated equalizers..
Envoyé de mon PLK-L01 en utilisant Tapatalk
Haha don't worry i'm used to it. Did you instal busybox and/or selinux? They are both needed for the application to work.
Try to download a different version of the application if you still can't install drivers, and check if you are properly rooted.
I couldn't get V4A working either.. Can you tell how it is done? I'm on B320 rooted and busybox installed. I downloaded and installed the Marshmallow-version of the V4A. Do I have to enable it somehow in honor's audio settings because there seems not to be a place where i can choose what audio effect to use? I have also tried several audio players, but does it matter which to use? Driver status says "abnormal" so that's probably the problem..?

Voume boost!

Hi all,
does anyone know how to boost in call volume and volume on headphones...?
Hello
you can install dolby atmos or viper4android they do the job
did you manage to enable and work viper4android ? how? i manage to install it but it does not work , put selinux to Permissive and install it from inside system/priv-app
Dolby Atmos f**ks up notification/media volume it cannot be lowered down and Viper4Android just does not want to work...
I have Viper4Android on my P9 Lite and it works just fine.
Cannot tell you why it won't for you though.
All I did was install it and of course put SELinux on permissive with the SELinuxModeChanger.

That happened to me too.
You can try to disable the equalizer and amplifier of your usual media player. Than go to Viper and in the 3 dots (top right corner) go to - Lock effect mode - just choose whatever you want.
I think that switching from Headset to Phone Speaker (with diferent presets ) you have to go again to "Lock effect Mode" and choose it.
It worked for me. Hope this could help you.

Thanks :good: . I actually did look at the thread before, but had the impression that the GSI Treble roms were of the ASOP variant, contrary to the note: 'NOTE: This works only on CAF based custom roms. It doesn't work on AOSP.'
Am I wrong, or is it the note that does not apply in this case?
it looks like not both ways aren't working for 9.0 Havoc.
we need better solutions.
I tried these solutions on the Lenovo Z5 pro GT, but the Phone won't recognise any bluetooth IEM's. The sound keeps playing over the speaker. Does anyone have a solution?
When I change vendor to r/w it goes back to file system read only and I can't save the build.prop file afterwards
If someone was able to make it work can you please show me the build.prop permissions!!
this ROM is awesome. but there's a problem. my BT headphone no sound.
in developer options, "disable bluetooth A2DP hardware" can't be turned off. any solution?
And for xiaomi devices?
What is the apk that I have to delete if my device had miui?
in all the GSI images i installed audio BT is not working.
And BluetoothResCommon.apk is not in that path, why ?
build.prop is there but there is no "persist.vendor.bt.a2dp_offload_cap=sbc-aac-aptx-aptXHD" entry
Any help to fix bluetooth for this case ? I can pair, to headphones connect, for a moment seems to work, but finally audio get played in the phone itself.

It can be done with root or in TWRP.
But now most phones have aptx-aptXHD support in original firmware, so there's a high possibility you don't need this step. By the way, it is not worth it to fix A2DP though, cause for now it's almost not possible (at lease I didn't solution) to fix bluetooth in call and A2DP offload at the same time. For me bluetooth in call is more important, and there's actually no side effect to turn off A2DP offload as far as I understand.
Anyways, to make bluetooth in call and Aptx (of course others like LDAC) both work, you'll need to:
1. remove /vendor/overlay/BluetoothResCommon.apk (if presented) (if presented and deleted, do a factory reset)
2. remove /vendor/etc/a2dp_audio_policy_configuration.xml
3. Enable "Force-disable A2DP offload" in phh settings
4. Enable "use alternate audio policy" in phh settings if your volume adjustment have any problems (if you got multi ones in different feature category, try different combination until it behave normally)(may require reboot)
5. flash Magisk module "aptx-HD-magisk-10_arm.arm64.zip" to fix aptx support
Now both sbc-aac-aptx-aptXHD-LDAC and bluetooth in call should work. Tested on 2 Qualcomm setups recently with phh android 12 based rom.
Hope this could help you and others having same issues.

Tho Xiaomi's MIUI really modified the whole aosp crazyly,but the device itself is still treble-compactible
the file is called MIUIbluetoothres.apk(probably,on miui 12.5's vendor)
BUT you dont need to del it.
To Fix: TURN ON "force disable a2dp offload" in phh treble settings.
that's it.(worked on redmi 10a.(MTK))
(ps: actually aptx is a qcom thing so it probably wont work on mtk devices.)
