Is anyone else having a low volume problem on there mic level input? A lot of people tell me they cant hear me on the phone and that my voice is hard to hear. I have found the fix if this happens to you.
I'm not sure if it is the files they are using in the roms or the Loud Volume Hack I tried to use but I was able to get a hold of these files and it fixed it for me. I'm now heard loud and clear.
Delete the old files found on System/etc and replace it with the 3 files found in the zip below. You will need to reboot for the changes to take place...
Is this reversable via nandroid restore? Just checking.

Of course it is. Any changes in the filesystem can be restored via nandroid.
Right on. I tried to do this with Astro File Manager and was unable to delete those system files.
Did you do this through adb? Or maybe a different file manager?
I'm asking because I too have the mic issue with CM6 and would like to test this out.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!
I used root explorer. Make sure you select read/write and not read only. Delete the files and replace them with the ones on the zip. If you want to reverse the changes you can either nandroid back or pull the files out of the CM6 zip and replace them.
Everyone can hear me much better now which is so much better than having to repeat myself so many Damn times.
I'm supprised I am one of only ones that had this issue...
I did. But I have louder volume hack to fix it. Lol

The louder volume hack has a stock button to return it back

Doesn't LVH just adjust your speaker levels? And not your mic levels?
Yes LVH is just for speaker and bluetooth volume. I've found no mic adjustments.

The LVH is the reason why it screws up your mic level. It wasnt made for the hero and you will notice putting it back to stock doesnt actually return the correct files for our device. Keep using it and you will see your mic level will be low.
Actually, mic level is controlled by in call volume. If you use the in call volume on lvh, and then turn down your volume because it is too loud in the ear piece, that's when you lose mic level. And lvh has a backup/restore optionif you don't trust the stock button, but the stock button has worked fine for me. All lvh does is replace the files that are basically the graphic equalizer settings.

Yes it is true that the call volume effects the mic level. I have tried this numerous times. The stock profile was made for the Deisre or some other phone I forgot which. Therefore it doesnt work perfect for the Hero. I have used my backed up profile and it still didnt work right for me either. I ran accross this info on the forum where the guy made the LVH app. Thats where I was able to get too understand why it wont work correctly on our phone.
Dont believe me play your music at its loudest through the stock settings (untouched by LVH), then add LVH and listen to it (much louder). Now try to go back to stock and tell me there isnt a difference between the way it sounds compared to the files I've attached. The Mic level will go up as well. Believe me I have done this 10 times or so to make sure I wasnt crazy.
Its either that or the sound profile (equilizer files) that came with CM6 isnt as good as the ones I used.
I have messed with this a bunch of times and got info that the sound profile included in the "stock" setting wasnt made for our phone.
This was my experience...Maybe yours was different.
I just got a Motorola S9-HD BT headset and it at its loudest is on par with a normal set of headphones at 75%, would the LVH work for this or will it just screw up the other sound settings.
You can adjust bluetooth only with LVH
I'm confused
I've had issues with the mic being to low on CM6. Should I be looking this fix or LVH to correct it?

Just do what I said in the first post and you will have a much improved Mic level. LVH doesnt have a setting for the MIC.
I'll check it out. Thanks!
Thank you for this!! My g/f was always complaining that I was difficult to hear and I thought she might have been talking about the call quality.. This fix helped quite a bit and I don't hear any more complaining, just a much more quality conversation instead of, "what?" all the time.
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
Been looking to boost the loundspeaker such as it is found some guides about editting lines in mixer_path.xml, only thing is my file does not have the values that the guides have which is why I asking the question, anybody know how to boost the volume of the loudspeaker ? I know the risks about blowing the speaker so did not want to just add the lines that I found, any advice or an app that is known to boost the loudspeaker ? Thanks in advance
Nobody knows? Or is everyone happy with the loudspeaker volume?
Have tried a few volume boost apps but they don't cut the mustard
I know you can use Kodi for video and audio files and it has an option to boost volume. You can even get a youtube plugin for those of you like. As for app and games no idea.

Thanks but I am needing to boost the system volume and not just for watching films etc, thanks for the suggestion though
Good luck. I looked for a long time to answer that same question with no luck.

Boost system volume!
I use an app that can really bost system sound. The name is speaker boost 2.0.3. I hope you will find it
Custom quality and generic apps.

Hi, if I may, the answer to a louder sound from built-in speaker, as my colleagues have posted can be achieved by Volume Booster, from omega Centauri, a gemini from an reader app they make. Note that to avoid damage it only boost mid frequencies, avoiding bass and high treble. The quality lowers. So, kernels like Perseus, Devil, Shift, I could name the majority, have customized the approach with algorithms that have names like Boeffla, Faux and many others important, that are drivers lile ALSA for Linux or kernel mode WDM for W. And now try a Note 2 N 7100/7105 with and without Boeffla and all will become clear, specially the effort of developers that we admire. Congrats. :fingers-crossed: sorry for the bad english included.
Thanks all for the suggestions,none of them give me a boost that makes it louder through the speaker, , I also forgot that you can boost the system volume with Viper4Android(which boosts the speaker volume fine on my other device a oneplusone), this also does not work on the Nexus 7,I will have to just live with the low speaker volume as I cannot get it any louder
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!

You're welcome buddy, I can imagine your happiness and that smile is thanks enough. Cheers.
As all we know, our*phone*only has one*speaker*at the bottom,*so playing music outloud without headphone is not always pleasant,
Especially compared to other flagship like HTC & iPhone 7 that utilize its earpiece as secondary speaker,
Coming from that idea, and based on what i already use and made for my other phone (OP3 & S8), i decide to create similar mod for this phone, since i love it much as well,
So
Here's the*file*mod you can use to make the earpiece (the one near your ear) of your*phone*to act as secondary*speaker, giving you more suround feeling, so that you can enjoy it more
Download attached*file,*
Flashed it through TWRP
Enjoy :fingers-crossed:
not work ? "updater process ended with error: 7
error installing zip file....
Same error for me i also tryed manually replace those files but not working
Ok, thats weird. Am using same file to use on mine,
What EVA version is yours ? Am affraid that there's so many EVA, they use different config

We cant get same sound from upper speaker as from bottom one. You just get a bit better sound. Upper speaker is a lot smaller and weaker.
Try covering your bottom speaker, you will see its working.

It seems no sound at all permission must be rw-r-r i guess? Or maybe sound is very very low i couldn't know if sound is a bit from top or if i hear from bottom lol
Edit:it seems working but is there a way to have sound from top more high?
Mate, N or MM?
Path is vendor/etc/audio for N.
I would be happy to have a louder bluetooth with headset and Speaker.

You can try to edit the default value of BT output in mixer volume
But in my case, for louder volume, am simply using dolby atmos, it boost all output and create good surround
