This is a file from a viperaudio sound mod, and I'm having issues with calls (people on the other line hear an echo).
I already asked in the thread, and contacted the dev, but I didn't get any answer.
There's a way to solve this issue by deleting the file, but it harms the audio quality.
That's why I'm wondering if there is any way to edit this file?
Check second post
Actually, I've made some new discoveries about this issue.
The libaudcal.so file is present on our devices in vendor/lib.
If this file is deleted, then it has the same effect as copying it from another device (installing the one from the old viper sound mod).
That means - incredible huge bass on speakers, but issue in calls, the other person on the call hears an echo, and the in call volume is stuck at a constant low value.
Now, what's interesting is that this issue is NOT present when making calls via viber, facebook messenger etc. apps.
I've tried downloading different dialers, and using different rom versions, but no difference.
It seems to me that there are filters included in this file to purposely cutoff low frequencies, and that calls are broken when the original file isn't used.
I hate to give up, so please if anyone has ideas on how this could be resolved, I'd appreciate it.

how do you switch off the camera shutter sound??
It's kinda annoying from time to time. And it is pretty loud, which makes the phone useless inside my lecture room when i want to take a photo of the lecture notes...
Open the camera, tap the screen once to show the toolbar icon, tap it to open the toolbar and tap the gearwheel for settings.
Page 3 sets the shutter sound. Whatever you choose will be remembered.
I might be barking up the wrong tree here, but have you considered looking through the options menu?
The problem is in my page 3, the options are:
Shoot option
Image properties
Effect
Metering mode
No idea then, strange that the option is missing from your device as it's (the option) in the official manual for the Touch HD. I'm using Dutty's 2.6 ROM which has a different camera version to the Stock ROM, I'm pretty sure the option was there on my device before I got the flashing bug, though.
do you have stock rom? my page 3 has shutter sound. metering mode is on page 4

mute your phone , especially during lectures
EDIT:
did not know it's AU version, try overwriting the shutter sound snap.wav in the windows folder
or in the registry "HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\Common\SourceOfSnapSound"
or replace the camera EXE form a different WWE ROM
I swear, some people just want us to feed them.
Not even mute can silent the camera shutter.... This is so annoying.....
Shutter sound cannot be turned off on aussie version
No need to be nasty guys. The posters problem is that they have purchased an Australian version of the blackstone (I have the same phone). It turns out that Telstra in all their wisdom have ensured that the camera sound cannot be turned off (this is something they are doing with all phones now to stop people taking 'up skirt' pics and such). So even if you turn the sound off, if you go into the camera and use it, the phone sound is turned back on. People have tried to change the registry values for the camera sound and this does nothing. Someone has also managed to find the sound file (which cannot be deleted) and replaced it with another sound, but on soft reset the sound is replaced back to original loud annoying and very embarrassing sound.
So if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this (without flashing the rom), there will be a lot of appriciative people out there.

Fixed for you
LOL, well I am both of those things, but don't use a phone camera for either
Problem Solved
First things first:
It turns out that in the aussie version the source sound referred to in the registry (snap.wav) does not exist.
There is also other sounds within the windows folder that were part of the ROM (ShutterSound.wav and TimerSound.wav) but changing these had no effect on the camera sound.
Solution:
I managed to find the source of the sounds within a resource file and have successfully changed them to blank waves. The only issue with this work around is that the phone sound is still switched back on (even from silent mode) and stays on until ~20 seconds after shutting down the camera down, this means that if someone calls, emails or sends a message the corresponding sounds will be made. This could be a problem in lectures etc, but I can't think of any other work around. I'll work out how to make a cab for the change and post it here, in the meantime if anyone wants to know how to manually do the change let me know and i'll post it.
The simplest option for this issue would be for Aussie guys to flash a non-Oz ROM and be done with it. Flashing some of the newer ROMs has many benefits, not least of which would be the ability to mute the shutter sound from within the camera app itself.
To my mind, a much more elegant solution.
Camera Sound Silencer
Flashing the phone is obviously the cleanest method, but this option is not available to everyone. I have recommended the HD to people who have had their work purchase it for them (in such cases flashing is not an option). I also know people who will never flash their ROM, and yet want a quick and reversible solution for their problem. I won't be flashing my ROM until the shipped version of mine is available (I got caught with a warranty issue and a different ROM version before). I'm sure this won't happen until I extract my own so flashing isn't the answer for everyone.
Anyway attached is the CAB for silencing the sound. This works for the Australian ROM (not sure about other countries, so if anyone else tries it, let me know if it works). You first need to install the sdkcerts (this ensures you don't get asked if you trust the source each time you start the camera), then install the CamSilencer(AU).
REMEMBER that each time you use the camera the sound on the phone gets switched on, so if you are worried about phone calls etc, then make your alerts blank sounds too.
Any feedback would be good!
AaronC1978 - Any chance of getting a version of this that will work for the Touch Diamond? I've got a Telstra Touch Diamond that's a work phone, so flashing it is out, as you rightly mentioned above.
I've tried installing both your CABs here, but it's broken my camera. When I go into the camera, it works for about 2 seconds (and I can see the picture from the camera on the display), then the display goes black, and I get an error pop up "Failed to initialize camera. Failure to initialize the camera device.". I uninstalled the CamSilencer CAB, and it's back working again now, but (of course) I still have the obnoxious shutter sound.
Having the other phone sounds turned on after I've been using the camera isn't a problem to me, as I very rarely have the phone on silent anyway, and especially not if I'm taking a picture. I just want to get rid of that horrible loud camera sound! There's one thread in the Diamond section from last year that's gone unanswered and abandoned - help me Obi Wan Kenobi - you're my only hope!
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks!

Hey Matto,
I'm no Obi Wan, two weeks ago I knew I could install cabs onto my phone, but that was the extent of it!!
Assuming that a similar file is modified on the diamond I should be able to fix it for you. But first you are going to have to get the file for me. If you don't have it installed you will need to use total commander to be able to get the file:
http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
Install that on your phone and open it. In the total commander window, open up the windows folder and scroll down to a file called 'cameraRC.dll' and click it. Now click 'copy/move' in the file menu at the bottom of the screen and click click 'tree' on the popup and select eg your storage card. Now click copy on the popup.
Now connect your phone to your pc and move the cameraRC.dll file onto your pc (if you cant see it, make sure that you have "show hidden files" enabled on your file options on your computer).
When that's done, upload the file here and i'll take a look for you.
PM me if you have any trouble.
Hi Aaron,
Sounds like I'm about 2 weeks behind you then! I've uploaded and attached the CameraRC.dll file to this post here as per your beaut instructions - if you wouldn't mind taking a look, I'd really appreciate it. I'm sure all the other Aus TD users would as well!
Thanks for all your help - this has been driving me mad!
Thanks!
Matto
Hey Matto,
I'm glad the instructions were clear, hopefully this CAB fixes the Diamond sound. You still need to make sure you have the sdkcerts file installed first. Also make sure you have uninstalled the HD CamSilencer (which I'm sure you have since it muffed up your camera). Don't stress if this doesn't work, because it is the right file and it just means I've done something wrong on my end (can't test if it works). Let me know how it goes.
Aaron
Hey Aaron,
You're a legend, my friend! Works a treat. Takes away both the focus zoom/lock sound, as well as the obnoxious shutter sound! I already had the sdkcerts installed from the previous attempt, and had uninstalled the old HDCamSilencer.CAB the other day, as you had guessed. Copied the new one across, installed it, rebooted the phone and voila - no sound!
Thanks very much for your help with this - very much appreciated! I'll let you announce it to the guys over in the TD forums, since it's your work and only right that you should get the kudos for it! I'm sure all the Telstra TD users will be very appreciative!
Again, thanks very much for your time and effort into doing this for me! Well done!
Thanks!

When the Galaxy Note powers up, it shows a video and makes some noisy music. how can i suppress it?
I was wondering the same thing last night! Seems kind of ridiculous to have a loud jingle upon start up that's impossible to silence.
Seriously......wow is the phone really that good that you guys need to complain about the sound the phone makes when it starts? I can't beleive how many people complain about small stuff like this......

They are asking for a fix with an issue that is easily understandable...to be honest, you're complaining more than they are lol
Have you tried to put it in silent mode before restarting?

It is a fair complaint, because you can't silence it.
If your GNote decides to crash/reboot during a meeting......
I have to find the post, but if you are rooted, you can delete the ogg file with the startup sound.
For rooted users to stop the startup sound...
\system\etc\
Rename these file(s)
PowerOn.wav
or
1_Power_on.ogg
or both
settings-sound-volume. Set system volume to zero. it does not seem to affect anything else.
That worked great, thanks! I used Root Explorer to rename those two files. And yes, having the phone making noise at inappropriate times is exactly what I wanted to avoid.
Edit, I already renamed the files before trying the system volume. That would be interesting if the boot audio really is the only thing affected by "system" volume.

I have been using that method on my galaxy s for 18 months and never found anything else affected by it. Seems to work the same on my Note.

Thanks, it worked for me too, but instead of root explorer, which you need to pay for, I used ES explorer, free, enabling root access in the config menu.
that's reassuring. When I read about nulling the system volume, I am so sure I'm going to miss some notification.
Never Worked For Me On I717R
The funny thing is that my power on/boot up sound never worked. After I rooted I noticed both the 1_Power_On.ogg (plays sound) & the PowerOn.wav (no sound) in the etc folder. I am sure that the second one overrode the 1st, causing no sound on start up. I just removed the second & renamed the 1st to PowerOn.wav, now I have the sound.

So I am pretty ecstatic over all with the performance of my Moto X pure, and a little impressed by the moto voice command function. I can access just about everything on the phone by voice alone, except there's one problem. Everytime the phone understands one of my commands, it responds with a very loud and obnoxious sounding "bloing!"
I can even tolerate the robotic voice of the Moto lady, who sounds like my 3rd grade teacher, but the response sound is just too much. Does anybody know what folder it is in so I can nuke it, or is there a way to turn that sound off.? I looked in the media files, and in the notification files, of both the phone and the SD card, looking for a matching sound but did not find it there. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
The response chime is connected to the media volume control. Keeping the media volume down has helped me a bit but it's still no fun. Also, I've noticed that it uses the old Google Now sounds so when I initiate a search it gives a loud "old GNow" confirmation then a more pleasant "new GNow" tone. If I could at very least do away with the double confirm, I'd be happy.
I wonder what would happen if we found the folder containing that sound and nuked the file.
do you know what the actual file name for that sound is?
Anybody here have a better idea?
Thanks

My question is how else would you know the phone is responding to your commands. For example if your phone is across the room.

I don't know, every other function in android seems to have both visual, and audio option.
They could just have a flashing screen,, the problem is, when I want to use Moto X voice, that sound, is way louder, then most of the other confirmation sounds used in speech to text conversion. If you turn the media volume down, the female voice is reduced in volume along with the confirmation sound.
Or they could just have an option, like most of the other audio in android, that allows me to choose a sound.
Which brings me, to my quest. Or question
if it is a regular audio file, or a .ogg or MP3 or MP4, I should be allowed to go to the containing folder, and simply drop in an audio file of the same kind into that folder, right?
Anyway the "bloing" is annoying, has no individual volume control, and makes me look like less than the coolest kid on the block, which is what I so desperately crave, which is why I spent so much money to buy the coolest gear.
Please help my quest for coolness
From previous experience, sometimes these sound files are inside the apk file itself. Really no way to change or get rid of it unless you start decompiling them, remove/add your own file. Samsung used to do it with their screen unlock sounds. Looked forever in folders and found nothing. One day while searching inside the apk, found it. Just a bit of help to maybe help your search
Dear folks,
I used to search this and other forums for an easy solution to increase the volume level of my Galaxy S5 (G900F) in both directions, to mic something and for listening. I do not care of speakers (to destroy them) or my ears (they are already in bad status since the DISCO-Beats in early 90ties), smile, but I hate to anoy my friends with to low volume messages (even when I am at home with no background sounds). In the car it is even worse. My phone is rooted. Android 8.1.0 Extend Version AospExtended-5.4-unofficial, 2018-April-05, G900FXXU1CPC9, with Kernel 3.4.113-lineageos-g808bf80, Build-Number OPM2.171019.029, Moderate
I have downloaded and testet micgain26higher.zip, micgain26normal.zip, Mic_Gain_Mod_v11.9.zip, and s5_Volume_Boost_Version_vX...zip
None of it works.
I even extracted / copied the three files from container to /etc, with no positive result.
I tried to increase the numbers within mixer_paths.xml by hand, no improvements.
Please give me a solution (preferable a ready made mixer_paths.xml to copy/paste).
Thanks.
I think there is no solution - mine is loud for me, but my mic level is poor. I expect nobody is good enough to help you here.
Copy the mixer_paths.xml that i have attached to "/vendor/etc" and change permissions to "rw- r- r-". (ps : i think it is not necessary to change permissions anymore but just in case you can try)
For me it works on recording audio
The guy in this thread.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3202087
Knows a *lot* about adjusting the xml file to make adjustments to various volume level parameters. He was able to give me a lot of help when I needed it. Why not ask in that thread.

Since I installed Android 10 on my phone I have been experiencing problems related to audio, when I use the speakers for anything it is just to low to listen to, sometimes when someone call me I often can't hear the ringtone. However the microphone is OK, its quality for recording human voice (specially) is amazing and everyone listens to me loud and clear.
Possible solutions?
Well, I did some research and find out that Android Q doesn't have a to3g file, some websites may tell you go to
Code:
/device/etc/sound/to3g
and open it using any text editor, but you won't find it in our Galaxy-A20. I tried to find it in /vendor partition and /system partition but no success.
There were two more interesting files in /vendor partition, mixer_paths.xml and mixer_gains.xml, I tried changing their values and comparing them with the original ones that comes with vendor.img.lz4 from stock ROM, also there was no difference between them.
The question is, does anyone know how to solve this problem? If so, please help us and I'll mention the comment here. Thanks.
This problem also happens in Pie versions of Android, as you can see here in the bugs' section
https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...iziell-pie-lineageos-16-0-andyvan.928318.html
Alright, part of the problem can be solved by installing Agrim's custom kernel. This can be found here
the same problem here. There's no solution?
