[Q] Very Loud Volume

I may be missing a setting somewhere but my audio via headphones is very loud. Even at the lowest setting it is probably only just bearable. I'm running custom kernel (chronic) and ROM (cyanogen) so I appreciate it isn't exactly stock!
I've tried Apollo and Play Music which both exhibit the same issue.
Before I wipe and reload again does anyone have any thoughts?
thanks

Probably the sound file was edited. You can manually edit it if you want. If not, just flash other ROMs.
See this thread for more sound loudness mod.

Thanks will give it a go!

Stopped all audio from working and hard resets the phone so didn't work unfortunately.
cheers

There used to be a thread where they teach ppl how to manually modify the sound files to increase the loudness. I can't seem to find it anymore.

I appreciate you trying. Will have a look around too.
Cheers

What's the line of the handset in mixer_paths.xml?

I want to increase the incall volume of the handset/earpice (whatever you call it) but i cant find the value of it in the mixer_paths.xml file
If you have another way to do so, i will glad to know how. Since sounds mod dont work with dorimanx kernel (which im using), i cant boost the handset volume and its too low, i always ask people on the other side to speak louder

It's < CTL name= RX 1 Digital Volume value= 60
But I don't think that changing it will help I'm pretty sure that dorimax kernel will prevent it from actually increasing the volume no matter what you set the volume at but hey it's worth a try
My suggestion would be to switch to simple kernel and use my all volumes booster mod which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2769799

I really appreciate your work, but i cant give up on battery life and smooth operating phone for louder in-call earpiece volume, so i think i will stick with dorimanx.
Anyways, i tried changing the earpiece volume in build.prop but it didnt work, and you are saying that changing the mixer_paths.xml wont help either, so you have any other solution?

Sorry I wasn't saying it won't work it's just that I don't think it'll work you can give it a try and see no harm no foul but besides that t the only other things I could suggest is trying these apps first try viper4android which I highly recommend and second volume plus app

But V4A cant boost the in-call volume,it only affects speaker, headphones jack and bluetooth or usb i dont remember. Im using this app, its great, but i cant find any eariece option

[Q] Earpiece volume low on a6000 plus. Help needed. plz

I love the handset except the low in call volume. Someone pls help. I have rooted the handset using kingroot app and have tried several apps to increase the call volume but no success. Somebody pls let me know if I can do any changes in engineer mode or edit any lib keys. Thanks.

Installing MaxxAudio or AudioFX might fix the problem.
Dolby doesnt do good with this device , except on my Grado and philips headphones.
(TheY SOUND AWESOME)

System/etc/audio then search for mixer there will pop up 15 files one of them is it... unfortunately i don't know which of them because I'm not tried it on this phone...
(If you find which it is and edit dont forget to restart afterwards otherwise it won't work)

I suggest getting Viper4Android installed if you can.
It includes a Xtra Loud option that boosts the volume.

This is also possible with Viper.
For example by activating certain Convolvers. You can find suitable ones here on XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216193).
Just remember to activate Expert UI settings in Viper to display all the options.

[A2017G] Bottom speaker louder than top speaker

STILL NOT FIXED
I have rooted and unlocked my Axon 7 (A2017G) and edited the mixer_paths.xml file to make the audio output louder.
But there's a little problem (and I don't know if it's because of the mixer paths edit, I don't think so)
My top speaker sounds a lot more dull than my bottom speaker. My bottom speakers seem to be louder too.
How to check this? And are there more people experiencing this?
Thanks in advance.

Did not do anything to my A2017G, but I find that my top speaker is louder and "sparks" when near at full volume

Some say it's dust, but I don't know how. I haven't called with this phone much.

Bump. It's everywhere. Even on LineageOS, bottom speaker is almost twice as loud :/ It can't be dust.

BUMP
This problem is getting on my nerves. The bottom speaker is twice as loud and crispy as the top speaker, which sounds dull.
Anyone else had this and possibly fixed it?

Two questions
Did you try to reset your phone and test the speakers again?
Is there the same problem on YouTube and mp3 music files?

1. Yes I switched between roms to test modems and other stuff for ZTE.
2. Ofcourse. It's obviously the same on every output.
I guess it's just a hardware fault, but I thought maybe someone would have fix (clean it or something?)

Then I would say that this is an hardware problem indeed.

Having the same issue here, thought that other ROM will provide the fix but still zilch. Rooting the phone only meant the void of guarantee so not really good move there either.
I read somewhere online that usually bottom speaker is the one to go out first and that global version has the speakers a lot different then American and Chinese version). Any other possible fixes before replacing it? And where to find the replacement too?
Update: it should be software related since the sound in earphones has the same problem - only inverted. Which means there should be a tweak in binary or something?

I'm willing to pay to whoever makes this problem disappear. I'm beyond the point of helplessness here...

Fixed!
Fixed the issue finally! ??
Go to:
- settings
- advanced settings
- accessibility
- mono speaker output.
For the last trick to work, just try to disable it, then enable it and restart the device. Disable it again when device rebooted. Worked as a charm for me! So I'll be saving me some money ???

Omg! This problem was bugging me since day 1, but could not find any solution to this... But I've tried what you said and it works wonders! Can't believe I can now finally listen to music the way it was intented, since having a speaker with lower volume on a stereo setup is very annoying. Thank you very much for sharing the solution with us!
