Headphones and AUX isn't getting loud enough. In the car I must blast full volume to even to get a decent sound but it won't ever get loud! It sucks! Is there a way to fix this?
There's a magisk module that increases the max volume for aux/bluetooth playback. Pretty sure it's just a build.prop setting, so would need root at the very least. Otherwise there are alternative 'sound processors' like viper4android which exist as magisk or xposed modules, that allow further tweaking for gain and loudness.

I will give you the app that allows you to have great sound, with extreme volume. You must flash this with TWRP or a custom recovery
Download the Dolby Atmos zip here
When you open the app turn on Volume Leveler, you will see the difference
Otherwise if you don't have a custom recovery there is a couple app on the play store that will help you out but I find alot of distortion in the music with these apps activated

Cmon... don't post direct downloads on xda - link to the project page. Developers put a lot of work into what they give us for free, the least you can do is point users to a thread where they can see what they are downloading as well as look for support when things go wrong. You arent helping out anyone when you just blindly say 'download and flash this' - best case scenario you get inundatedwith countless pm's, worst case you help some idiot break their phone.

To the OP, a side note.. every time you plug in an aux cord or headset, android automatically lowers its media volume to a 'safe level'. So every time you plug it in, you will need to manually increase the volume after acknowledging a warning about that very same thing. Can't be avoided without hacking a change, either via an xposed module like gravity box or a custom rom.
That said, the media volume/impedance leaves much to be desired.. which is why many turn to atmos or viper4android, which level out volumes and add gain - they butcher the actual audio quality, at the expense of increased perceived loudness. But lets be honest - very few that care about loudness worry about fidelity (I'm one of the few)

Uhm I'm going to look around the build.prop. I found away you can edit build.prop without rooting.

I'll try it out see what happens.
EDIT: Works awesome!!! It even has 100x better sounds now at a lot higher levels. So crisp, cleaner bass, better mids.
Thanks given guys - installed on my H1611 too after reading this thread . It does install into the system partition for anyone wondering.

Beware that your notification volume may be higher than what you are expecting with notification volume set to the lowest audible level when Dolby Atmos is on/enabled. Fortunately Dolby Atmos has an off switch. And watch out if you turn the Volume Leveler on
Edit: Oh and call volume is tweaked with the "Volume Leveler" so be careful!!!
I would avoid turning Volume Leveler on until first observing the effects on volumes with just Dolby Atmos on, then test with Surround Virtualizer on, then with Dialogue Enhancer on. Only turn Volume Leveler on if you don't get enough volume with the other settings on.

I have searched and read a lot of posts on headset volume, but am still confused.
My understanding is that the in-call headset sound can be adjusted by the volume rocker, but otherwise changing the sound (e.g. bass boost, treble boost) is not possible without changing system files or the kernel.
In other words, tools like DSP Manager and Volume+ cannot affect the in-call headset equalization. They only impact media playback.
Is this understanding correct?
On a related note, I read in an XDA forum for another android phone that DSP Manager and Volume+ should not be on the same phone at the same time, i.e. if you want to try Volume+, you should remove DSP Manager first. Can anyone clarify for the HD2?
You understand it.
About DSP and Volume+ at the same time, it is possible but will probably give you static, distortion or Force closes.
So yes if you want to try Volume+ you should remove DSP Manager first.

Yes, upon first launch of volume plus, there is a message that clearly explains the issues when using both. I personally love volume plus

I got my OP2 4 days back and it has been quite a disappointment switching from the OnePlus One in terms of sound quality and volume levels.
The volume level is horrendous, both for ringtones/notifications and media. I'm sure this will eventually be solved by a kernel or a OS update but as of now, even if I am with a group of friends and the phone is in my pocket, I can't hear the ringtone. Moreover, there is no option to unlink ringtone and notifications.
Before anyone suggests, my volume levels are highest.
J.
It is true. Volume is too low. For me it is not a problem because I'm almost always on silent mode. Anyway there is one volume thing which is also broken...
When playing games it does not make a visible difference if the volume is on the highest lvl or almost muted. There is a difference, but IMO speaker is to loud when You set it's level as lowest as possible -_- (but not entirely, not to mute)
You think the same ?
It is a problem for me as I go to crowded places often.
I don't play games but I listen to a lot of music and apart from the volume levels, the sound quality is also very bad. Spotify sounds like a radio channel being broadcast from a garage.
I don't have the issue of speaker being too loud like you have. But OnePlus needs to up their game. Maybe they should concentrate on these issues instead of creating hype around an invite system.

Can someone post the mixer_paths.xml? I'm waiting for my OPT to ship, but it'd be interesting to see if we could modify the mixer_paths.xml to work like the OPO speaker mods.
I did modify it and there is a little difference. Still, not as good as the OPO.

could you highlight which lines has been changed?
That's funny because I found the volume was way too loud on my OnePlus Two, even at the lowest setting. I disabled Audio Effects and I can now set the volume to a more appropriate level.
How did you disable Audio Effects? @thegregulator

Go into the app Audio Tuner and toggle it off. You can also toggle it off directly when playing media on the speaker, just press either of the volume buttons and look for the "AudioEffects" toggle.
No kidding. I got mine yesterday and it's so quiet that I'm concerned whether the alarms will wake me up; I'm a very heavy sleeper. I was just trying to listen to something on TuneIn which was quite audible on my OPO and I was straining to hear.
Go into audio tuner> turn the preset to "flat".. turn maxxbass off... turn maxxspace off...
Just done what omegablaze said but increased max dialog to max and my volume went up through headphones but not really seeing a difference though the phone. I was wondering if the are any custom flashes out there like extreme beats + viper4android that I have just seen on YouTube. U see I'm new to flashing and root etc so any help would be great because it's very hard to hear any calls that come though

well as per what i have researched there are many people who are facing this issue. Furthermore i have 2 other phones lumia 1520 and a motox and they both are very loud compared to one plus two. i have compared the same notification tones on all three phones and the lumia 1520 is the loudest whereas one plus is the quitest. In a noisy environment you dont come to know that it is ringing especially while riding a thumping motorbike.
My advice based on what I'm currently doing is to buy some nice headphones. The ones I'm using are Sony MDR-10RC they really compliment each other in looks and if you play with the audio settings it equals very nice sound. But if it's a case of you are not hearing you phone when its ringing just download zedge and search (loud ring tone). Yes I'm not a fan of oneplus 2 stock speakers but I hope this helps you out.

I also have problem with ringtones i work in factory on cnc and i can't heare phone ring tone and notification particularly
Guys, what about increase the volume of the headset or the headphones for listen to music louder? I saw the file, but I couldn't guess which value to change.
Same problem. Too low during Call, and loudspeaker during call. Notifications and ring tones too low too.
Headphones are fine though.

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.

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
I already have the volume steps module but it would be great if there is a module that lowers the volume by 0.5x on every volume step or just on the lowest step. It's way too loud.
If someone who messes with these scripts sees this, at least tell me what I need to mess with and I'll make it myself, I just don't have enough time to do a full research.
The easiest way would be just to add more volume steps..?

Volume for audio stream is completely different than volume for call audio stream. I have 40 volume steps for music/videos and 14 for call. Audio level is remembered by system automatically and separately for each. I never had to hold my volume button for 5secs..

You can increase the gain in mixer_paths.xml, but not decrease it. Many of us would love to do that to fix the hissing noise, but so far no one was able to.

I believe you can. I recall that when I tested which value actually controlled the volume for my MIUI device, I changed all the known values to 0 to figure until I found which one it was. It actually disabled all audio for me so in theory, it should work. I haven't experienced hissing. Is this in call or media volume?

There you go. I think this value just allows more fine tuning to the volume, not reducing the sound level that the device produces. I mean theoretically, more steps means a setting will be available for lower volumes so there's that I guess.

I was playing with headphones part in mixer_path and even when I set gain/volume to "1" from stock "10 or 20" (don't remember exactly), it didn't do anything. Volume was still damn loud and along with it also hissing. Hissing is present with lower impedance headphones and also on loud speaker. If you don't have/hear it, be happy

You could do that if you have PowerAmp Beta. Just go to Settings> Audio> Output and tweak the High res output settings. You could change the Bit-rate to a higher value for wired headset and bam, you're done.

ya I did that procedure but it shows Open SL ES Output active and not HiRes
Volume is low on apps like Google Play Music, Wynk etc where you have subscriptions. I have subscribed to Google Music and since the Audio is comparatively low, cannot listen to music while I am traveling. It'll be great if there is a way to enhance the volue level from the device itself and not from 3rd party music apps. Just like how XDA team did with "Google Camera".
This is what I am asking in many forum but no good solution yet
