Increasing headphone volume? - Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers

Hi there!
I'm just wondering if anybody knows how to increase the volume when having headphones connected. I've already installed Viper4Android yet I still find the sound to be rather insufficient... I've tried swapping some values in mixer_paths.xml but the changes won't stick after a reboot... Just curious if anyone has an idea or something?

I use VLC player for music on my microSD card. In advanced settings under Audio out change to OpenSL ES. The sound is much louder.
But only in VLC, not other apps.

Possible solution
Hi again guys!
I think I might have found a solution to the insufficient audio the solution was editing some values in mixer_paths_mtp

[Q] Volume boost on CM 10.2 (TeamCanjica)

Hi all!
With the help of this forum I managed to get CM 10.2 (TeamCanjica) working an my Ace 2! Hurray!! This breathed new life into my smartphone!
Right now I have the minor problem that the volume (loudness) of the music is too low when using headphones.
There are some apps in the google play store but these are adressed to Gingerbread not Jelly Bean. So they will not help I guess.
I suspected some settings in a system file, made a search and found these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400231
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168836
But both threads mention files or directories which I do not find in my system directories (using the file explorer of CM).
Does anybody know where I can find the right files containing the volume settings in CM 10.2 (TeamCanjica)?
Maybe its silly question but do You set full permission in file manager options ?
While the listening music you can try slightly turn headphone jack. This may be help to you. I experienced this problem and solved with this way. By the way you can find and tune some sound settings in Sound Manager (Headphone / Speaker / Bluetooth etc.)

Full permission to what? As mentioned above I did not find any of the config files which were describes in the links above.
I guess I first have to find these config files. In CM 10.2 for Ace 2 they seem to be at an other place or have an other file name.

Thanks, I will try that.
Regarding the sound settings I have already found these sound settings. I turned off the sound limiter in the settings and pushed the volume up toas far as it will go. But unfortunately the volume is still too low. When using the headphones with an older Ipod Touch I hear the music significantly louder.
Hi. I have same problem. After try few mods like awesomebeats (after flash I have bootloop) I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203255 - you can change setting and add few feature to sound driver. It's work great for our problem.

Actually can anybody give.me.the best preset because I searched Internet and did not find any
LOL, what do you mean best preset? Every body has different tastes as far as sound setting goes. Why don't you try different presets to see what suits you the best? I personally usually set it to "rock", but that's just me.

Raise volumes in build prop

Hi all
I am using an HTC one m8 rooted soff running viperone.
I want to modify and increase the external speakers when listening to audio or someone on speaker phone, and headphone volumes.
Would I edit the mixer paths or build prop file ?
And any idea which particular levels ?
I looked and there are so many lol, very confusing.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance
Have a great weekend

Thanks for the reply
I actually do use it but it doesn't raise the overall volume. Definitely helps with sound quality and does boost the gain at lower volumes. But not overall. Unless I am doing something wrong which is entirely possible lol
Have you tried to mess with the Convolver? Some IRS files increase the sound volume. Maybe that could help you out a little bit?

I have no idea about the code.
If you are not able to do it your way, as an alternative, you can install a custom kernel with audio tweaks and increase the volume through that.

thanks so much friend, gonna try that
Does anyone know how to increase headphone audio on rooted stable OOS?
Or does anyone know the difference between mixer_paths.xml and mixer_paths_tasha.xml ?
I dont wanna install ARISE, it makes sound quality worse. Even with only upping the audio it makes it worse.
I dont wanna install a custom kernel as well.
What i would like to do is mess with a file like mixer_paths.xml, edit a few lines and get a higher audio on jack for music.
That's all i want higher audio for music.
Is that even possible or do i need a custom kernel?

Sound too low

Hi all,
In my previous android phone (samsung s3) I had the same problem, but i solved it with root and edited a simply file into system to increase (i think) decibel.
With my rooted OP3, i tried to edit a similar file like in the samsung s3 with no results, then i have install viper4android and EX kelnel to boost audio, but the sound increases distorting the file....
Do you have a solution.... ?

Can you give me link?
I found a thread, but viper4arise give me: i/o error
Edit: Installed with success, but it seems like viper4android.
The problem come when i raise the volume, the bass are distorted.
I usually download mp3 from youtube at 320kbps, i tried also other way like torrent, but audio quality looks the same.
Can you give me a suggest to download music at the best quality? Also if isn't mp3 extension.
Thank you.
Find an appropriate setting for your Headphone in viper4arise. Download kernel files and select in the convolver option, u can get it by a simple Google search.
