Headphone volume in Soundmod 1.0 is louder than Soundmod 2.0
​

Awesome! but i noticed that the sound quality and volume on ringtone is worse compared to music players and other stuff. for example i play a music and its sound is awesome through both speakers but when i set the same file as ringtone and test call on my phone the ringtone is much much lower. im gonna try this to see if this make a difference to that
if headphone volume in 1.0 is louder than 2.0 then what is changed in 2.0? speaker volume?
Edit: i accidentally deleted the original file can you provide it pls?
anyway thank you
btw ,your themes are awesome

Thank you, Sir.

Bro, is version 1 and 2 exactly the same, only 2 being louder for headphone? Otherwise loudspeaker, gaming/earpiece the same?
When doing voice calls/Skype/Viber?messenger is the earpiece/loudspeaker louder than stock? Have you enabled stereo speakers when loudspeaker phone call?
Compatible with both Nougat and Oreo?
Thanks!

Excellent, thank you for your response!

Unfortunately did not work for me.
Upon rebooting my device I get ''sound settings'' error message followed by a low buzzing sound and no sound.
I had to copy the stock.zip default back to get my sound working again.
Could you please look into this?
My device is the XZ Premium Dual G8142.
My device has unlocked bootloader and is rooted with recovery. All instructions were followed including setting the mixer_paths to RW-R-R, not working.

Didn't find the mixer file in system/etc

Have you installed any sound mod before?
If yes, simply flash stock firmware via flashtool.
If no... try doing as above...
You need to reinstall a sound mod or if you want stock.

[APP][PORT][JB/KK] XPERIA Z1 Walkman + Clear Audio

Hello.
For everyone that wants an alternative for the stock Motorola Sound Effects and the Google Play Music Player. I installed this MOD made by ibanez7 and it worked in my Moto G.
REQUERIMENTS:
Backup your data
CWM or TWRP Recovery
Root
For install, follow the instructions of the original post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48165168&postcount=337).
NOTE:
Everything works, except Edit Music Info and Download Music Info, I recommend delete the file (system/app/SemcMetadataCleanup.apk) in the Walkman ZIP before flash for avoid FC's.
This MOD is incompatible with another audio MOD's, in this case the Motorola audio effects app is visible but FC's. I recommend uninstall or disable the Motorola audio effects app for avoid FC's and incompatibilities.
The Sound Enhancements Equalizer is compatible with Google Play Music Player.
Did you feel any audio improvement?
allandacruz said:

Click to expand...

Yes, I did. I'm not a music professional, but definitely I feel that is better than the Motorola stock audio effects, specially I feel a difference in bass with Clear Bass feature.
Also I've tried with a bluetooth headphones and the effects works too, for me the improvement it's good.
This works really good!
I listen to music every day and i can hear a significant increase in sound quality when Clearaudio+ is enabled.

Do you just extract, delete the file and then compress it again?
Edit: nevermind I had a brainfart... I got it but for the Motorola audio. What is the actual name for it so I could disable it. Thanks

Just open the zip with 7-zip, navigate to (system/app/SemcMetadataCleanup.app) and delete the file, so you don't need extract and compress it again.

Will this work on 6.0.1 stock? XtreStoLite?
Was absolutely stunned as soon as I heard a song after flashing this on my G925I! Makes the phone feel like it has stereo speakers.
This mod definitely deserves more recognition than it does.
I recommend anyone to flash this on their phone
Thanks dev!
Had the same mod on my last note 3. Then now with s6e. Really like it.
Which is the part need to modify to enable the top speaker?. I'm trying to do it on other phone.

Spectacular mod man! Thank you!
Now i want to adjust the volume only for the earpiece, can you show where in mixer_paths i can change these value? I want it little more louder!
Cheers
Work flawlessly on my N920C!

@rarrouma
First and above all thanks for your mixer adaptations. I know there are endless discussions here at xda this is too loud too quite and so on. For me the tasha mixi is too loud because the speaker starts clipping. So my question is could you point me to a link where I could adopt the mixer myself? Or would it be possible that you reduce it or tell me which parameters I should change in the xml file.
Thanks and all the best,

mixer_paths_tasha.xml is primery or base volume for xz, mixer_paths is secondary or complementary.

Thanks for that SoundMod!
The sound seems more clear und richer (my opinion).
One thing I don't get is the volume of the lower speaker, the one at the bottom. Is it normal that it is so quiet?
The speaker at the top is awesome but if you hold your thumb on it the lower speaker is a joke compared to the top speaker

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.
