incall volume please help

guys i just got this note2 from local, the incall volume so low even i set it to max, any one have this issue with theirs or what can i do to make it louder , thanks

Confirmed, its a bit on the low side.
I made a adjusted default_gain.conf with slightly increased volume.
Not tested tho but anyone want to try, use root explorer and overwrite the file in system/etc
(attached, remove the .txt part of file name)

There's a menu in Settings called Sounds. In there' you can enable/disable sounds as you like.

I get you man! It almost drove crazy! and yes the sounds in question are located in /system/media/audio/ui/
I change 2 files : S_HW_Touch.ogg and TW_Touch.ogg with 2 files I picked from AOSP 4.2, set the permissions correctly and reboot ... voila , no more water-drops .
For the dialer you need to rename/remove/or replace Dialer_new.ogg in the same directory.

I replaced it = Dialer_new.ogg with other file/sound>>>>>>and it didn't help!.....the other two did changed
Only the dialer stays with the water sound
Any one?

I would love to know how to do it as well. The key tones on the dialer are very important to have certain sound, for some visually impaired people using this phone it really helps to listen to the key sound when pressing numbers to confirm right number has been pressed. Anybody at Samsung reads this forum? Can you please put back regular telephone dial sounds? What was wrong with the sound? This device is a telephone, right? If anybody can help me I would donate him. Thanx.

Since changing the other sounds worked for me, I assumed it would be the same for the dialer. I was wrong, I apologize.

No one? Come guys (and girls?)...I changed all 3 .ogg files as well, but unfortunately the Dialer sound is still the terrible water sound...although I can't find a SINGLE file on my phone anymore which IS that sound...so where does the phone find that sound/file????? Aaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhh!!!
This is spooky...or is it an encrypted file just to tease us?
Thanks,
ChaosDM

Can someone post the alternative files please? ?
thanks to Androssama for the files.
the files are here for the needy.
btw, the dialer sound is not annoying as it is a bit different now that the other sounds are changed to better ones.
you have to change the mount from R/O to R/W in the root explorer. & make a backup of the old files just in case. then copy paste the new files overwriting the old ones. change back the permission from R/W to R/O, reboot & enjoy.

Being rooted, w/ Note 2 and using root explorer, I changed to R/W, replaced Dialer_New.ogg, S_HW_Touch.ogg, and TW_Touch.ogg, changed permissions on them taking Write off, back to R/O mode, rebooted, and still dialer has drop sounds... Not getting this, am I missing something?

Did you try renaming the new sound file to Dialer_New.ogg?

I know it's been a long time but i just found this and wanted to share it with you guys:

SecContacts.apk\res\raw\touch.ogg
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now after unzipping the apk the ogg file is there, it should be the one as it sounds like the dialer. I tried all the stupid tricks I know (replacing it with another file and zipping back the whole thing, renaming it to apk since apk files are just fancy zips => didn't work. Tried embedding it in a flashable vrtheme zip file since those decompile, mod and recompile the apk => didn't work.) I don't know how to properly decompile an apk and since everyone is using a different ROM it'll be difficult to post requests.

I've been able to change the touch sounds from water drop to click which was pretty straight forward however the keypad dialler 'spelling"
was located in a different place than otherwise noted on the forum.
The dialler touch sounds were located in a different place than the touch wiz sounds. and it was one file not broken down into 1 2 3 ect.
This is for 4.1.2 i9100.
So I put it into the to hard to do basket and just left it. Sure you can use a app dialler but I like stock.
Wouldn't you think that someone as big as Samsung would allow you to make a simple sound change just by going to settings - sound.
Good luck.

I've been looking all over for this sound file (it's not Dialer_New.ogg in System/Media/Audio/UI)
I would be happy to replace the dialer sound with just a single touch tone sound I already have but can't locate the file.
(EDIT) - nevermind - now I understand the post above indicates that the file is located inside SecContacts.apk
SecContacts.apk\res\raw\touch.ogg
Does anyone know where to find the above file? I searched in Root Explorer from the top level (Root) but didn't find it.
Thanks

[Q] Chaning max volume output in PAC-man in root explorer

Hi, I've recently installed PAC-man in my Samsung Note II 7100 and while I'm loving all the new features and speed I have noticed that this mod no longer works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922715
Reasoning being that the default_gain.conf file doesn't exist anymore. So my question is, in which file is the max volume controlled now? I don't mind if I have to personally edit it, I just want to know which. I rather do this by myself with a hard coded option instead of installing apk solutions like V4A.

No one?

Use viper
Sent from my Note 2 using Tapatalk 4

Yup, viper on the Play store is great. The description is in a different language, but the application itself can be set to english.
Link

I am using it but to be honest the output isn't that stronger. The mod I mentioned before was a real game changer and I noticed quite a difference when using it with my car (using the aux port), but now with PACman+Viper I'm constantly having to set both my device volume and my car's radio volume to maximum to get a sound that is good enough, and even then it isn't that good. This never happened with the default_gain.conf edit. Not to mention that some players override Viper's settings which can be super annoying.
At the very least is there a way to push Viper's Output Gain over the 6db limit? Like editing one of it's conf files or something. That can be a helpful workaround.

[ROOT][MOD] Xperia X Volume Boost for Stock Configuration v.1.2

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!

I don't see a line here that you can add a value greater than 0 to in order to get both speakers working.

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?

How to increase speaker in call and music (root)?

Is There a zip file to flash in twpr that change configuration of mixer file that increase speaker volume?
If isnt how i can increase It?

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
