What's bugging me about my brand new Xperia X? The overall low volume.
These simple tweaks, this mod if you may, simply modifies a few lines from the stock audio config files which, after a reboot make your speakers louder and headphones, a bit too loud (but I didn't hear anyone complaining about Xperias for being too loud lol)!
It's for rooted users only and for me it sounds a lot better than using (possibly) unstable sound mods instead of simply adjusting the volume on some pretty decent stock drivers.
It's been tested against 34.0.A.2.301 - but it should be backwards compatible..
UPDATE:
Stereo in-call Voice-Speaker now working;
It should be compatible with N - test it with a backup at hand - I'm on MM because of Xposed;
Stereo for Ringtone-speaker is WIP - feel free to jump in and help ;
Features:
Louder Stereo Speaker sound system wide;
Louder Headphone sound;
Stereo Voice-Speaker for calls;
WIP for Stereo Ringtone-speaker - I'm open to suggestions!
Customizable as you see fit! Just stick to the already explored options.
Conflict-free tweaks - no additional files added, no nothing, just some modified lines - you can trust it .
Installation:
By flashing the .zip with FLASHFIRE [press the red "+" button > Flash ZIP or OTA > leave the options as they are and Click on the "done arrow thingy".
Manually copying the file to /etc - DO NOT forget to set the right permissions (RW R R). Please take a look over the Permissions.png screenshot in case you don't know how to set them - you long click on the file, then go to properties and you'll see the permissions button.
Do it yourself - there's a guide down bellow.
Bugs: -None-
If you have ideas for this, PM me!
In the download section you'll find:
>>Flashable! already modified "Xperia X Getting Loud.zip" with: SPEAKER values - 85 for both RX7/RX8 and HEADPHONE values - 85 for RX1/RX2.
>>Flashable! Stock Values - it's the stock file unmodified.
>>NON-Flashable! zips - there you have 1 zip for the modified file and the stock one so you can place it manually via ES file explorer or the explorer of your choosing.
**And some screenshots that are pretty self explanatory showing you what modifications need to be made if you want to do it yourself.
DIY Guide (using ES File Explorer):
You're probably acquainted with ES File Explorer so it should be pretty simple. The modifications I made were done with ES (it has an built-in editor).
1. Make sure the Root Explorer toggle is On - it's located in the Tools tab as you swipe the left side of the screen;
2. Go to the root of the files where you'll see folders such as "data; dev; firmware; storage; system; etc" go to "etc" folder and scroll down till you see the mixer_paths files;
3. Open "mixer_paths_wcd9335" and at the prompt, select ES Note Editor - it's a huge file so tap right above the navigation bar! A bar with percentage should show up - it will help you navigate through the file;
4.1 Speakers - Get to 42% of the file where you should see the path for "wsa-speaker", ctrl name RX7 and RX8 with their stock values - modify the values as you please but please don't go over 86 - sound will be too distorted;
4.2 Headphones - Go to 53% of the file - you'll see "headphones-regulation" path - ctrl name RX1 and RX2 - modify the values but anything more than 85 might be too much.
4.3 New! Stereo Voice-Speaker - find the path for Voice-speaker as seen in screenshot and simply add some volume there - default is 0 - I'd advise to go lower on that speaker since the mic used for speaker calls is located near the earpiece - so values around 80-82 should be ideal.
5. Save and reboot. If you choose to modify the files on a PC make sure to set the permissions when you put the file back. Otherwise bootloops might occur.
***Internal players such as Music, Video, ringing and notification will try to compensate the sound so it might not be as loud as expected. But try a youtube video and you'll notice the difference.
***Do not attempt to modify something else unless you know what you're doing - on that note, make a backup first. In my first attempts I lost sound device wide with FC for sound effects apk.
***Do not go over the values I imputed (85 for speaker and 85 for headphone) - apart from the distortions that will occur because of the louder volume the internal DAC might not be able to reproduce the sound at such intensity - in my tests one of the speakers was shutting down. Again, no harm can come to your device but don't push it.
***I saw a lot of sections for hi-res headphones, Noise cancelling, etc - I did not explore those options because I don't have the means to test it. Any input and contributions from you guys are most welcome.
These files control the volume output for digital / analog which means it's a non-intrusive way to change volumes with no harm for the device. If volume limit exceeds the capacity of the speakers it will sound bad but there is no chance for physical damage.
I'm coming from a highly modded Xperia Z (that phone saw some torture) which made use of the earpiece speaker for stereo, and even if the speakers aren't designed for that output they are louder than the X which packs pretty decent speakers. This is the mod that gave me the idea: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/themes-apps/mod-stereomod-xz-v1-1-t2835995 @monivan

You're welcome but I just updated the files..... Speaker was just a bit too loud. I decreased the values a bit because a notification was distorting the speakers. Use the update if you feel like it's too much.
Good work!

Files should be different on your device. I no longer have the X, nor the X Compact, so this mod could not work.
Use the guide instead, it's pretty easy to make the modifications on your own. All you need is ES file explorer or something similar. Always keep a backup ready to flash.
Hello! Is it possible to enable stereo voise without increasing volume?

Requirements
- Root Access
- ADB understanding (or an app like Root Explorer)
- SGS4 i9500 (doesn't work on i9505)
- Samsung based ROM (i.e, no AOKP or CM, etc.)
WARNING: BE VERY CAREFUL. THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO PUSH YOUR PHONE'S VOLUME FAR BEYOND IT'S NORMAL LEVEL. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A LIMIT YOU CAN PUSH THE VOLUME TO!!!
I will not be held responsible for any damage you do to your phone or your phone's speaker. You have been warned.
Instructions
Exactly the same method as on the SGS3 (the files are NOT interchangeable though)
1) Locate the file 'System/etc/default_gain.conf'
2) Use ADB to pull file to your computer
or
2) Use an app like Root Explorer to edit file on the device
3) Use guide below to make desired changes
4) Reboot your phone to apply changes!
Guide
I will try and explain the file as best I can:
You will notice there are 4 "Output Modifier Stages" listed at the top of the file. These are: Normal, Incall, Ringtone and Incommunication.
There are also 4 "Modifiers" which are not listed at the top but are referred to as: Earpiece, Speaker, Headset Out, Headphone, and a few others.
To alter your desired volume type you simply have to match the Output Stage with the Desired Modifier! It doesn't always work like this, not fully got to grips with this file yet.
For example, I want to increase the volume of Ringtones, so I find the bit that looks like this:
Code:
Modifier "Ringtone" {
SupportedDevice {
"Speaker"
}
Enable {
{ "Speaker Digital Volume", [B]112 [/B]},
{ "SPKOUTL Input 1 Volume", 32 },
{ "SPKOUTL Input 2 Volume", 32 },
}
}
And change it to:
Code:
Modifier "Ringtone" {
SupportedDevice {
"Speaker"
}
Enable {
{ "Speaker Digital Volume", [B]142 [/B]},
{ "SPKOUTL Input 1 Volume", 32 },
{ "SPKOUTL Input 2 Volume", 32 },
}
}
Please Note: I have no idea how high you can push this value. I've had it up to 152 which I would NOT recommend. I don't dare go much louder.
You can also do things like, increase the volume of ringtones that play through the headset or bluetooth headset. It's a pretty detailed file!
There is also an "Input" section lower down in the file which allows you to alter the gain of the microphones in certain situations but I have not had chance to mess with this yet.
SEE POST 2 FOR PRE-MADE FILES!
Pre-Made Files
Default_Gain.zip - Unzip .conf file and move to "System/etc/"
General Volume (Normal, Speaker) increased from 112 to 132.
Ringtone Volume (Ringtone, Speaker) increased from 112 to 132.
Earpiece Volume (Incall, Earpiece) increased from 128 to 132.
Speakerphone Volume (Incall, Speaker) increased from 144 to 154
Default_Gain_Backup.zip - Unzip .conf file, rename it to "default_gain.conf" and move to "System/etc/"

Just in case
Nice work
Safe on the long-run?

This is great! But I'm concerned, won't this ruin the Speakers or the Headphone plug in the long run?

Headphone plug? Definitely not.
Main loudspeakers, Headphone speakers, bluetooth speakers and earpiece speaker? Most definitely yes!
Although, the same hack worked on the SGS3 and my one is still being used every day with the hack in place and the speakers are still holding out. The speakers are more resilient than you think.
Like I said, the values I've set the pre-made files are probably the maximum I will go to and even those are probably too loud!
Anyone tried it out?:highfive:
Holy moses that's loud. Just what the doctor ordered, thanks!
Went up to 150, I see what you mean

The safest adjustment is to not adjust it!
I'm currently running mine at +10 across the board which seems like a good level to me. The pre-made files are at +20 which is a little too high.
But remember: You're on the XDA forums, nothing is safe

good point ! haha.. can give me ur adjustment ? i think ur adjustment is good level too XD
I find it's way too quiet. Most of the time I don't even realize it's ringing in my pocket (and I don't even notice the vibrations). Is there a way to make it a bit louder?
If you are rooted you can, but I don't recommend it to you because it causes a distortion of the sound. But if you wanna try. . .
1. Locate file 'mixer_paths.xml' located on 'etc' root folder. Open it with text editor. (I recommend to edit it on PC)
2. Find '<path name="speaker">' attribute.
3. Just edit the 'RX3 Digital Volume' value to a new value, higher than default (84 for me).
Also, as it was not the primary think you were asking for, but would be useful. I use it when I leave home. Increasing vibration intensity. . .
- You can use Kernel Adiutor, or other Kernel app. Them usually allow you to easily tweak the value. And also apply the new value at boot.
or
- Just edit the current value of the file 'vgt_level.*' located on '/sys/devices/virtual/timed_output/vibrator' root folder. But by this way you will lost your modified value after reboot.

Your best bet is not to do that.
Raising the volume beyond what the manufacturer has implemented = busted speakers.
Xiaomi will have the volume set to exactly the maximum volume the speaker can handle because they want it to be loud to impress customers.
Use the mixers from the MIUI stable ROMs

Problem is with headphones
You can edit a file called mixer_paths_tasha.xml in vendor/etc/
Find
<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="13" />
And change the value of both 2 lines to what u like but i recommend 1 or 2 increases i saw a tutorial setting it on 18 and that was too bad even on low volume it had noises so just stick with little increases i set mine to 14

He gave you the location of the file and the exact lines you need to edit within the file.
Its an XML so it reads like a text document.
You need a root file explorer like mixplorer or solid explorer.
Navigate to the file. Open it and edit. Save. Reboot.
It really is that simple. A search on any search engine or XDA would likely get you access to information on how to open and edit files on android.
It does seem daunting but its really as simple as copy pasting text into documents. Just different file extensions than normal.
If youre rooted then backup and have a go. No harm.
If no root then suffer in silence
Hello Everyone,

It is sad that the thread got 1 Star rating before even getting the chance of doing something good, well I'll fight my way up...
Snapdragon doesn't have Root, but hopefully in the future it will...
This thread isn't for how to TWRP/Magisk,Bootloader unlock or Root...
PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR FEEDBACKS IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THE MOD...
Don't Forget to say :good: THANKS :good:

If you didn't, no worries I have Attached Original Mixers as Backup (EXYNOS & SNAPDRAGON <-- snappy coming soon)...
first get ROOT :laugh: then proceed below
You can Use it with MAGISK
or
Flash it with TWRP, Snapdragon can use Flashfire (Snappy coming soon)
or
Just extract the MANUAL and place the mixers in your system/vendor/etc (since you chose Manual, make a backup, even though I put original mixers online) & set permissions to 644 (rw-r--r--) ...
reboot...
Let me know if you face any issues...
SNAPDRAGON MOD Status:
Not yet, not yet, maybe in a month or two ... or as soon I get the files, BOOM it will be here :victory:
EXYNOS Module Status: being tested
V1 - > Initial release, Tested & Stable...
VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE:
READ TO THE END...
This MOD shouldn't be used with any Equalizers, until it has been tested, even though I used MAX default values Available in the mixer, I don't want your brand new phone earpiece to be blown...
After installing the MOD, mute your phone, play a music, gradually increase the volume level till you reach the max, while doing that if you notice Any Noise/crackles/unclear sound from the earpiece, STOP increasing the volume, decrease it and report back please so I'd adjust the volume level...
Volume Adjust
(I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE):
SNAPDRAGON: to Adjust: (coming sooooooon :silly
EXYNOS: to Adjust in mixer_gains.xml:
Code:
<path name="gain-media-dual-speaker"> <!--Speaker, Stereo Dual-Channels-->
<ctl name="SPK Analog Left Gain" value="15dB" /><!--Speaker default for left channel-->
<ctl name="SPK Analog Right Gain" value="15dB" /><!--Speaker default for right channel, Earpiece-->
</path>
<path name="gain-media-headset"> <!--Headphones, Everything is default-->
<ctl name="HPOUT2L Impedance Volume" value="107" />
<ctl name="HPOUT2R Impedance Volume" value="107" />
<ctl name="HPOUT2L Input 1 Volume" value="32" />
<ctl name="HPOUT2R Input 1 Volume" value="32" />
</path>
Values for the speaker:
15dB is the default and from what it seems the earpiece should be as strong as the speaker to be able to have equal value, but I'd still say be cautious...
In many cases, the increase is safe up-to 6dB anything above that is Dangerous... 6 may look small but in terms of Sound, decibels are measured on a logarithmic scale..
say we have 10 dB and 18dB, the percentage from 18dB to 10dB would be about 83% sound decrease...
now back to the value, it looks so small, 15 dB is barely hearable, yes, but that's not the actual value but additional value...
in other words, 15dB+ to the current Volume...
Values for Headphones:
Gradually Change value="32" to whatever you desire upto 60, SAFEZONE is 45, if you hate yourself and ears, go above that :silly:...
as well value="107" upto 140, SAFEZONE is 120 as I said if you hate go up :silly:...
SAFEZONES are Approximated by me, So Gradually increase your volume to the max, make sure the sound is clean, don't set it to the max limit, some music are amplified by default, which playing them will damage the speakers, just be reasonable...
Don't Forget to say :good: THANKS :good:

Only those who owned or seen the demo phone can tell if it's using the earpiece...
I believe there is a speaker at the top and another at the bottom...
if it turns out to be useless, then the MOD will change into something else, but that will be when the device is released...
At least appreciate my efforts, even if it was little instead of criticizing...

I have updated my thread, if the MOD turns out to be useless and my efforts are gone with the wind (unfortunately because I didn't read *sigh*)...
The MOD can be changed into adjusting Volume and other inputs/outputs of the phone... :fingers-crossed:

Doesn't say earpiece but now I know what DualSpeaker means in the mixers...
Speaker mono left... Speaker mono right...
I was confused why separate them...
Thanks for the link...

The earpiece is a speaker...
I kept reading...
I updated the thread anyway...
It will be used for other modifications...
Volume levels or enabling other inputs & outputs... Etc...
Hello,
The headphone volume is too low for my liking and used in ears. Is there any way to increase headphone output? Do we have to wait for custom Kernel?
Thanks
Root and modify mixer_paths.xml in vendor/etc/
What kind of modification do you have to do in this file?
I don't have a clue and it seems the ones who know won't tell us. This file is huge and has hundreds of parameters, no chance just by trying to change anything.
I've read that the Xiaomi EU Rom has increased headphone volume, we could compare the two variants of the mixer_paths.xml. But I don't know how to extract single files from a Rom Image
Why don't you try viper Fx?
You mean "ViPER4Android Audio Effects" ? That seems to be an outdated project not compatible with Oreo. No I´m not taking the risk and install a non supported MOD that seems to integrate deeply into the system...

I hope not to be late but for me this is a ritual and I have done it on all my devices and in the end it is always the same story ...[In Mixer_paths.xml] You must look for the line "headset" or "headphone" and edit the value of where to put "RX1 Digital Volume "and" RX2 Digital Volume "to a higher value for example if you have 84 then with 90 would be ... from here you can also upload the speaker values in" speaker "it is really easy once you understand
