I can see there is a mod ported from 3T to 5 that allows the phones earpiece to work as a second sound speaker when playing music.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/themes/stereo-speaker-mod-oos-t3632980
Anyone knows if this would work on 5T?
is not a good idea. The above loudspeaker is not designed for it.
It should be fine. I’m not looking to make the sound louder, overstressing the earpiece. Just some small treble to make you hear stereo. Anyone able to port the MOD?
I just tried this mod by swapping the xml file and it worked.
But I don't keep it as the file is smaller than the stock one.
Plus it's designed for OP5, not 5T
I revert back to stock, waiting for a clean port !
Just to mention, the speaker was way louder than the earpiece, making the sound not really balanced.
A few persones ask in the OP5 thread how to change the volume of the earpiece, or if it's possible to change the steps of the volume like this :
25% speaker = 50 % earpiece
50% speaker = 70 % earpiece
75% speaker = 100% earpiece
100% speaker = 100% earpiece
to have a more balanced sound (except for 100% of course)
and lastly it would be cool to have a quick way to disable the mod, in case of high volume during a long period, to prevent earpiece damage.
It would be really, really cool if a dev could do this.
Thanx a lot in advance !

So based on your post, the mixer file is in the same place but it's smaller, and the Oneplus mod worked for you, that means the lines inside for the speaker mod are good.
Can you send me the 5T original mixer file? My phone will get to me tomorrow, but I can merge the 5T file with the Oneplus 5 changes (keep full content of 5T and add only the changes from 5)
EDIT: Regarding the volume, I would not mess with that very much. I think you can use Viper4 to control it, but I would suggest to remove the Bass and increase the gain with maximum 10 percent. You should be on the safe side (not breaking your earpiece) and also gain some sound. (bass from bottom speaker and treble/small mid from earpiece)
Here it is, thank you !
Btw, I don' think Viper can do anything about that.
In fact, this mod only replicate what the main speaker is playing, doing dual mono.
So if I change something with Viper, it will do it for both, right ?
Or am I completely wrong ?

Here is the modded 5T file. I don't have the phone yet to test it, but will let you know as soon as I do.
I am not sure about Viper4, but I think it has independent controls for bottom speaker and top speaker, I might be wrong.
Not work with Viper.

Greaaat, I will tell you in a couple of hours
Okay, it works !
But :
It only works on Youtube, that's a start ! That's the main reason I need both speakers so I'm happy
anyway
As I say before it would be cool to have a bit more volume for the earpiece. Do you know what line I need to edit in the xml ?
And about Viper, I don't see what I can do with it, as the app is not designed to support settings for stereo speaker. I mean, no settings for one specifically.
But thanx a lot to you and DorianX, it's really cool
Edit : Well I searched in the XML and edit the "91" volume to "100". It's really better !
Edit 2 : I was wrong ! The earpiece works in chrome and other apps too. It's weird because, in some games like Super Mario Run, the earpiece works correctly, but in other games like Monument Valley 2, it doesn't
Did you tried using Viper4android? (Disabling then enabling again), also try with Universal deep_buffer Remover: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-universal-deepbuffer-remover-t3577067
Anyone want to write a how to?
This is the only thing I really miss from my old iPhone 7+
I'm assuming rooting is required etc.

Hi, i wanted to volume up my m8's speakers, i have Viper rom, and V4A installed, but i noticed that Htc One m7 is better on speakers than M8, because of IntenseBLAST mod provided to m7, is there a way to volume up my speakers? There must be a way, this intense blast mod doesnt work for m8 cuz M8 doesnt have Beats audio, can someone help here?
Thanks in advance.

There is a mixer file you can mess with manually to boost the volume, but it will create noise/distortion so its not worth it.
What mixer? Can U help me a little with it?
So it seems that M7 is louder on speakers than M8? Now im sad I like this phone (M8), the sound on headphones is great, on speakers too, but a little louder would be enough for me, maybe i could volume up the speakers without the distortion, just a little, would U help?
Thanks for fast reply.
Could someone guide me to edit some files responsible for speaker volume and how to edit them? I want to try so much to look how the efects would be.
Thanks so much for Your help.

Turn on Playback Gain Control in V4A and set the effect strength to how loud you want it (Slight, Moderate, or Extreme)
more loud speakers?
i have noticed that, sense roms are not to loud, you can try to install a pure android rom like cyanogenmod, liquidsmooth, carbon rom.
you will notice that the speakers will sound very loud my friend..
honestly i love sense and would like to see a sound mod to gain the perfect loudness on my M8

This only work on headphones, not on speaker, Ofc if U have set minimal loudness 1/15 in your UI and apply the gain in V4A then u will notice volume boost even on speaker, but if ur on Max in UI 15/15 then the volume wont boost. See for yourself i have checked it all already.
Cheers.

Hey, you have to go into the init.d tweaks and in several areas, change a few settings from false to true, and so on. If V4A is installed, it will contradict the pre-installed "Soundboost" software and cause distortion. I think the tweak is to turn LPA decode off., or to false. I'm in the middle of firmware updates otherwise I would post a screenshot or more particular answer. I will update the specifics soon for you.
I'd be grateful for your screenshots.
Thanks a million.

Heya man.
Have a quick look here: http://androidhackz.blogspot.com/2013/12/get-amazing-sound-quality-with.html. It goes in more depth about what I was mentioning actually. Recently when I install the V4A 2.3.3.0.zip and it ask which quality audio drive I want, another window pops up informing me that the Viper4Android app itself can handle the disabling you would need. Perhaps an older version doesn't though. Hope this helps? :good:
Arkamys is an audio enhancement from a well known car audio manufacturer
Increase the maximum volume without distortion
Superior audio rendering with no hardware changes (suitable QC only!)
Clearer, crisper sound for music and speech
Higher volume and deeper basses
*How to install?
Just download the zip and flash it through recovery
*How to uninstall?
I suggest you to do a nandbackup in recovery at this time
(maybe later i'll make an uninstaller script)
*How to change effects presets?
At this point there is no way to change the presets
*What version of sense/android/whatever do i need?
This will work for other HTC's, and probably other smartphones with Qualcomm.
Tested on MM ICE10 port for m9 made by Golv and Ice team (should work on lolli as well)
FOR ALL OF THOSE "SOUNDMODDERS" - YOU ARE STRICTLY NOT ALLOWED TO USE THIS PORT IN YOUR "MODS"!
feedback anyone?
Great quality - both on headphones and built-in speakers. I will check later today how it performs in my car
will install it on my OP3 and see how it goes
---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------
okay i installed it on the OP3
tested with my HTC in-ear buds:
1- I can confirm that the bass is deeper!
2- Overall better sound output with better mids and highs with a little bit soundstage widening
3- No volume boost as far as i am concerned
tested with Anker Sports Soundbuds:
1- I sense more like volume leveler effect here, which makes the sound louder in a "dynamic" way, albeit it is slightly felt
2- Overall better sound output (not that sure about that one) placebo
more in depth reviewing tomorrow when connecting the phone to my sub-woofer set (11 watts 2.1 ch Genius one)
This is just a quick "review"
Plus, I use my Sub-Woofer set way more than the in-ear buds or the bluetooth buds even
I tried this mod hooked up direct to my Chevy truck..it was too me like turning off h/k and nothing else..but like I set it's a Chevy..soo
Æaay..\../
@UltraM8 Okay so I hooked up the OP3 to my sub-woofer, here is what I got:
1- deeper bass and way much less distortion at max volume; the bass is not that thin anymore or overpowered or anything like that
2- lower overall volume ?
3- slight clarity increase
Tested on the OnePlus 3 with no external DSP/EQ + Genius 2.1 ch Speaker System with 3.5" 8 ohms Sub-woofer (6 watts output) and two 2" 4 ohms tweeters (2.5 watts output) with overall output of 11 watts.
Suggestions:
1- An EQ is so welcome to tune it for my liking
2- increase the 60/66/78/120 Hz a little bit for more "booming"
3- Make a general one without the htc_audio_effects.conf file and instead edit the generic audio_effects.conf one, definitely appreciated
Can test it on the M9 in a while, running ICE Golv's 10 port.
Wish all the best! :highfive:

There is not much you can do with presets - those for QC are closed-coded, ones for MTK - there are hundreds of lines, so it will be pretty hard to change anything) About the conf files: so you deleted it in htc ones, right? Cause when i did my testings something was wrong with htc's stock music player (like the effect was unable to connect, or maybe my ears were so tired of testing i didn't hear the difference))
I will ask a guy who made a port of yours OP3 EQ, if he can share his work, or you can help us - just rip everything related to eq in the system))

I copied the arkamys lines from the htc_audio_effects.conf to /system/etc/audio_effects.conf then deleted the htc file since it is a OnePlus 3 here.
Anyway, I dug in the zip and found some files like 0_TUNING, 1_TUNING and so on.. with some saying Bypass
And the xml file setting different profiles for different devices (speakers are off ??)
Are those various profiles ?

Hey guys...
ScreaMySkrillEX here.
This is an audio mod made for the redmi note 3(kenzo/Kate) which also works on mi max(hydrogen/helium) as both the devices share the same audio codec and streams.
What does my mod do?
It enables dual speaker config on your device and has two variants(htc10/stereo). And there's also a stock version which only tweaks the headphone audio output.
Htc10 version uses both earpiece and loudspeaker for audio output. The output is mono and hence earpiece acts like a mid-range booster and adds more detail to the speaker audio.
Stereo version also uses both speakers for audio output but earpiece behaves as left speaker and loudspeaker behaves as the right speaker.
Instructions.
1) Download the latest zip from the drive folder link below:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5ratNhH-7mGU3AtTVFmekE4VG8
2)Reboot to recovery.
3)Flash shox Audio Mod zip.(while flashing the file shows that its made for kenzo/Kate. Don't worry, it will work for your device also xD)
4)Reboot.
5)Feel the shox effect!
Enjoy the music...
If you have any requests or problems, feel free to ask.
I will definitely help you.
And you guys are most welcome for your suggestions.
Read the 2nd post for more info and recommended tips.
Thanks to:
@chdloc - For his biquads app and support. He has thought me many things. A brilliant dev.
@UltraM8 - For his Ainur Sauron audio mod.
@zhuhang - For his viper4android app and IRS samples.
@Albertkuba - For actually informing that this mod works for mi max too. This thread is because of him
@ZeroInfinity - He is the inspiration for me. His works are really brilliant.
Recommended tips:
1)Flash Ainur Sauron audio mod made by @UltraM8 along with this mod for a much better experience.This is currently the best audio mod which is the cleanest..Please thank him for his great work...
Link here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/soundmod-ainur-audio-t3450516
2)Users who need more tweaking to the audio can use Viper4Android.
3)I have included some of the best IRS samples for viper4android(according to me). So try it out if you are using viper4android for complete control over your music. Extract the zip and place the contents in viper4android/kernel directory of your internal storage.(the zip provided is not recovery flashable).
4)People who use MX player for videos can enable SW audio boost which will further increase the sound levels through speakers without any distortions..
It is recommended not to listen through speakers at full volume for longer periods.. Keep the volume low by 1 or 2 steps from the max.
5)People who think that the present max volume through headphones isn't enough can install viper4android and increase output gain to 6dB in master gate..
My personal Viper4Android settings:
Master power - on
Playback gain control - off
FET compressor - off
Viper DDC - on, set to sennheiser hd558
Spectrum extension - on, set to 1.0
Firequalizer - off
Convolver - off
Differential surround, field surround, headphone surround+, reverberation - all set to off
Dynamic system - off
Viper bass - off
Viper clarity - off
Tube sound simulator - off
AnalogX - on, set to extreme
My earphones :
1) Sennheiser cx180 street-II - daily outdoor use.
2) Skullcandy Ink'D - used rarely.
3) Sony MDR-ED12LP - used when I'm at home.
List of smartphones I own right now:
1) Xiaomi Redmi Note 3(kenzo)
2) Samsung Galaxy S(i9000)
3) Xiaomi Redmi Note 4(Mido)
4) Samsung Galaxy Note(n7000)
CHANGELOGS:-
V1 - initial release.
V1.1 - tweaked the values a bit to further remove the hissing noise as reported by @MurdererFight.(thanks bro for being the first tester and reporting me)
V1.2 - added some tweaks which will truly enable HiFi audio through DAC with the help of a magisk module..now the DAC detects the impedance of the earphone or the headphone connected.this ensures proper voltage levels through the amp for the earphones/headphones.
V1.3 - Merged surround audio mod along with hifi audio..
Enjoy stereo-like sound on your kenzo (earpiece speaker also outputs sound now xD, videos feel more alive to watch now).Thanks to @AgentBuBu for the soundmod.
I just merged his mod with mine..
V1.4 - Changed the earpiece thresholds to remove the crackling sound and readjusted both the speaker sound to the same level. Now enjoy stereo like never before on your kenzo's speakers. Thanks to @Androbots for reporting this.Also made the mod universal by making a magisk and SuperSU version..
V1.45 - Readjusted the values again for both earpiece and loudspeaker to remove distortion completely, increased audio volume through headphone jack without disturbing the quality. So, now there's a very little drop in the audio but the quality is absolute eargasm.
v1.5 - Readjusted and increased the volume of both earpiece and speaker without inducing distortions. The sound level is more than stock now.
And further pushed the volume through headphones for louder volume..Now the stereo feel is amazing..
And included biQuads support for headphones for expert users. Now you can correct the frequency response of your beloved cans, IEMs.
Link for biQuads is here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70194192&postcount=226
v1.6 - This time made sure to keep the audio levels same at the earpiece and loudspeaker to increase the stereo and ambience.
Very little changes to headphone volume again. Removed some unused codes. Its true stereo now. Enjoy the stereo on speakers like never before
v1.7 - Fixed the messed up headphone gain as reported by @AravindhStanley and now has 2 new versions...
1) Stereo Version - The present version which you guys are using..earpiece acts as the left speaker and loudspeaker acts as the right speaker. The speaker volume and earpiece volume is balanced
2) HTC 10 Version - The new one!!!! it is based on the new HTC 10 loudspeaker audio output.. Its mono but still uses earpiece for sound. But here the earpiece acts as a mid range and bass booster and significantly increases the detail of sound heard through speakers. Here, the loudspeaker is louder than the earpiece. The earpiece just adds detail here. So don't complain about unbalanced audio levels as its kept unbalanced.
This version removes all the audio libs to disable audio offloading to the dsp..Now the audio goes straight to the DAC untouched..
So please flash your audio mods once again after flashing the mod to get them back working.
Now biQuads is fixed by the founder @chdloc himself..So its finally working now....
I recommend all the users to try both the version and keep the ones which you like.
The link to new biQuads is here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70194192&postcount=226
v1.7fix - This is only for HTC 10 version...Many users would have experienced no audio from the loudspeaker after flashing v1.7(it wasn't intended to work like that). This issue has been fixed. Now enjoy audio on both earpiece and loudspeaker. Loudspeaker has louder volume than earpiece as earpiece just acts like a mid range and bass booster like before.. Enjoy the sound now..
v1.8 - Made significant changes to headphone audio....
Now the audio is decoded at 24bit 192khz..but still the output is 16bit 48khz..wait for the Poweramp to fix it or if anyone knows how to edit audioflinger please pm me...if audioflinger is hacked, 24bit 192khz audio can be made systemwide....
And enabled hardware Dolby and DTS-HPX support...
Use any of the sound mod which has support for them...you will feel a difference..
Nothing much changed in speaker audio..
Reflash your audio mods again....dirty flash
v1.9 - Rebased with the stock mixer_paths.XML and edited it from the start again..its much clean and removed useless codes from the file..
Fixed the bug - in-call voice through speakers even though the phone was in earpiece mode as reported by @AravindhStanley
Finally the mod is universal! One flashable zip for all ROMs and kernels so no hustle of magisk or su versions.
Dropped the HTC10 version as I dint see much potential in it..It will be continued only on demand..
Temporarily removed biQuads support as it requires an in-depth inspection..will include it in the next build..
V2.0 - *Fixed low audio volume on headphones as reported by many....
*Introducing a stock version, which only tweaks the headphone audio leaving the speakers untouched(stock config)
*Reincarnated the HTC10 version as requested by @mahmoudthassan
V2.1 - *added bass filter for earpiece in both htc10 and stereo version to protect the speaker..
*added a bass filter for headphones also to improve bass range which also reduces distortion..
*created an uninstaller for the mod..
V2.2 - *renamed the mod from HI-FI AUDIO PATCH to shox Audio Mod.
*finally implemented biQuads and added my sound signature to the headphone audio output.
*increased the amp volume to 16 to increase output volume.
*included patched kernels also for the mod as it is mandatory.
This is a guide for creating your own biQuads which replaces the existing ones in the mod.
As you all know, biQuads is a set of 5 IIR filters which can be used to enhance the music and also correct the frequency response of the headphones/earphones which you use.
Continue from here only if you know what sampling rate, bit width, lowpass, highpass, peak filters mean. Otherwise google those terms and learn what they are and what they do
So here's how to design your own biQuads and listen the music in your way:
1) Download biQuads flashable zip from the XDA thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/reference-qualcomm-audio-codec-iir-t3093000
Thank @chdloc for this great work.
2) Flash the zip in recovery and reboot.
3) You will see an app named biQuads in the apps drawer.
4) Open the app and give it root access.
5)As I told earlier, there are biQuads numbering from 1 to 5
6)After every filter you create for every number, tap design biQuad and wait for 20-30sec. You will be redirected to another window where the app check whether the filter is designed correctly or not with a spectrum graph. After that, increase the biQuad number
7) Do the same step 6 again and again from 1 to 5 until your biQuads is ready.
8)Finally, select review filter where you get a final graph and parameters of different IIR filters.
9)Then select save and give your biQuads a name(make sure there are no spaces included in the name). Click accept and the file gets saved in the internal sdcard with the filename you specified.
10)Open the *.coeffs where * is the name you specified for the biQuads in a text editor.
11) Replace IIR2 with IIR0 wherever found and change INP1 to INP2 wherever found.
12) Finally copy everything from the file and replace the contents in the mixer paths(present in /system/etc) under path name headphones. You will find similar lines there which are my biQuads already implemented.(make sure that you file editor has root access)
13) Replace those lines perfectly and align the lines as they were. Save the file when you are done and reboot.
14) Magic.

Edit: weird, the problem was only accessing from my Mi Max.
Thanks, i'm gonna to try your mod.
Is there a way to make the earpiece speaker louder that default? On the Mi Max, mine at least, it's far quieter than the main speaker, meaning it, doesn't seem like it does much.
This also means that in Stereo mode, the left channel is far more underpowered when stereo content is playing, and it's noticeable.

Maybe htc10 version is more suitable for this device..
If you have a kernel with sound control, try increasing microphone volume.

Was the same with the HTC10 version, and I'm not sure if I have a kernel that can do that, and even if I did, how would I go about doing that?
Discovered a bug with this mod. Installing this would disable mic thus any video you record has no audio. Worse uninstalling this mod would not remove the bug. So I had to reflash ROM.

tried it... worked! muchos gracias!
Working but it have a bugs which video recording has no sound and it also break Hi-Res audio playback on PowerAmp alpha build 704. IEM/Headphone left channel volume sometime really quiet while right channel was too loud. I have to unplug and replug audio jack to make both channels working again.
Tested with Mi Max hydrogen 6.0.1 + Audio Technica ATH-IM50/ATH-M40X/Trinity Delta
For anyone who suffer same bugs, replace mixer_paths_wcd9326.xml and mixer_paths.xml in /system/etc and set permission to 0644
thanks for the heads up.
mine is hydrogen on GlobeROM 7.7.20 + Viper4Arise
did not loose audio on video recording.

Viper4Arise is only used to further tweak the settings that this MOD offers.
so i think its just but OK not to install Viper.
also, if you already have a 3rd-party recovery, you can easily flash this.
Here is a simple mod that allows you to increase the maximum headphones volume in Oreo custom ROMS for Vince, here's three files:
Original: restore the original max headphones volume in Oreo Custom ROMs
85% Boost (recommended): Increase the max headphones volume to something like the original levels in MIUI, this one doesn't cause distortion or noise.
100% Boost: Increase the max headphones volume to 100% Use at your own risk! May cause distortion, noise, hearing loss or headphones damage.
Requirements:
Unlocked Bootloader
TWRP
Oreo based Custom ROM
Installation:
Dowload the file and flash with TWRP, doesn't need to wipe anything, reboot and test.
Tested on:
Resurrection Remix
Liquid Remix
AEX (AOSP Extended)
Pixel Experience
Havoc OS
Dot OS
Thanks for the great mod. Before I had to max out the volume and it was still not enough. Now I seldom need full volume most of the times i keep it one or two steps lower and thats with the 85% boost.
One question, does it affect bluetooth headphones? Because today I tried a pair of headphones I was considering to buy and they felt nice to me but the loudness was underwhelming. I had changed ROMs so I didnt have the mod installed that time. So will this mod improve that or there isnt a way to increase the volume of those headphones? Because I'll only buy them if I can increase the loudness.

This mod does not affect Bluetooth Headphones because Bluetooth headphones has his own DAC, I'll try to research if its possible to increase the loudness, but I'm pretty sure that its not possible over Bluetooth headphones.
Thanks :angel: worked perfectly in Pixel Experience Rom ? 85% is enough I think

Hello, it worked perfectly for me, I wanted to ask you if you could create a mod that works in the custom roms that is to increase the volume, as well as MIUI, the volume of the speakers

I just figured out how to do it, tomorrow I'll update the post with the files to increase the speaker volume as well

Sorry, I only was able to decrease the volume, I was thinking to just set a higher value, but when I try to increase, the speaker reach a limit and I don't notice a louder volume at all, maybe it's a secure limitation, but I need to do a extensive research. But for now, you can use Viper4Android V15, it's a magisk module, I suggest to enable "speaker optimization" And "eXtra Loud" In speaker tab, and under "master gate" You can set the "Output Gain" To 3dB, also you can use the equalizer optionally. It's not the best solution, especially in max volume, but it's good enough, I think it's safer way to do that without compromise the speaker integrity.
It's possible to significantly improve loudspeakers sound quality and fix imbalance with hidden Dolby Atmos settings.
Follow any or both steps below (good for all Oneplus 7 series).
STEP 1: Fix stereo imbalance (ROOT is required)
The top loudspeaker sounds louder and crispier than bottom (moreover, the top rattles more at high volume). This can be fixed by editing dax_sqlite3.db with any SQLite editor:
Code:
/data/vendor/dolby/dax_sqlite3.db
I used SQLite Editor app:
1. Open dax_sqlite3.db and go to "tunings".
2. Open record with "speaker_landscape_normal" and edit 2 parameters, then save.
Replace audio_optimizer_gain_l with new value:
Code:
-56,0,40,16,8,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,-16
Replace audio_optimizer_gain_r with new value:
Code:
-16,24,72,48,40,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,16
Each number separated by comma = gain in dB * 16 (i.e. "32" means "+2 db", "-16" means "-1 db").
3. (OPTIONAL - may be useless on your rom) Analogically replace the same parameters for the records "speaker_portrait_normal", "speaker_landscape_India", "speaker_portrait_India".
4. Reboot. That's it!
If something goes wrong (or you dislike new sound), just remove dax_sqlite3.db and reboot. Dolby will re-create it and return all default settings. Details about this edit:
We change overal speaker output optimization. Practically it's 20-band EQ for each physical speaker (audio_optimizer_gain_l = top).
So we reset both EQs to sound equally neutral, but keep the top speaker ~2 db lower.
STEP 2: Enable graphic EQ for speakers
You can activate dolby atmos equalizer for loudspeakers (available only for headphones by default) to get more bassy and clean sound.
If you don't have ROOT, use this DAX2 app: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/dolby-atmos-equaliser-7t-hd1903-root-t4054999
You will have to disable/freeze built-in dolby tuner for full functionality (see tips also in that thread).
If you have ROOT, I recommend the method below. It relies on internal dolby app and will work in all modes (dynamic/movie/music + ringtone).
You'll need to edit sound_tuner.db with any SQLite editor:
Code:
/data/data/com.oneplus.sound.tuner/databases/sound_tuner.db
Again with SQLite Editor app:
1. Open sound_tuner.db, then go to "sound_tuner" and edit the line with "speaker_device".
2. Change values for "headphone_style_preferred" ("Intelligent style") and "audio_frequency" (EQ itself), then save changes.
headphone_style_preferred keeps value from 0 to 3 (0 - balance, 1 - warmer, etc), "0" is recommended.
audio_frequency keeps a string with each band gain in dB, separated with '#' without spaces. Recommendation for 7T:
Code:
4.4#6.5#0.0#-7.8#-6.5#-5.0#-4.5#-4.0#-3.6#-4.0
Don't use "7.0" or higher for first three bands - it will harm the speakers at high volumes.
3. To apply EQ switch current mode in Dolby Atmos settings (e.g. Music to Dynamic). That's it!
To reset EQ you can return "0#0#0#0#0#0#0#0#0#0" in "audio_frequency".

Works at least for all latest Oneplus (7 / 7 Pro / 7T).
You need to edit sound_tuner.db - dolby keeps its settings for all connected devices here.
I used MyAndroidTools for quick editing:

I have a really dumb question: where can I find that app? I searched the play store and nothing I found came up with db editing tools.
Sorry about the search failure question, this is something I'd like to do.
MyAndroidTools can be downloaded at least on Github. As i'm new user here, I cannot paste links yet. Google "MyAndroidToolsWebsite github". I used 1.6.8 release apk.
There's also "aSQLiteManager" app on the play store, it's old and quite slow, but works on my 7T. Enough for tuning the speakers once

Root is required. Works for all Oneplus 7 Series
You'll need to edit sound_tuner.db with any SQLite editor:
Code:
/data/data/com.oneplus.sound.tuner/databases/sound_tuner.db
I used MyAndroidTools for quick editing:
1. Turn Music mode for speakers in Dolby Atmos and play any favorite track looped (not necessary, but much easier to compare sound difference further).
2. In MyAndroidTools go to Database > Dolby Atmos > sound_tuner.db > sound_tuner and open the line with "speaker_device".
3. Change values for "headphone_style_preferred" ("Intelligent style") и "audio_frequency" (10-band EQ), then save changes.
headphone_style_preferred keeps value from 0 to 3 (0 - balance, 1 - warmer, etc), i prefer "0".
audio_frequency keeps a string with each band gain, separated with '#' without spaces.
For 7T try this (more bassy and clean sound, but little loss in volume):
Code:
[B]2.5#6.8#0.0[/B]#-8.0#-6.0#-5.0#-4.5#-4.0#-3.8#-4.0
Don't use "7.0" or higher for first three bands - it brings distortion at high volumes.
4. To apply EQ switch to dolby atmos and change Music mode to Dynamic, and then back to Music. That's it!
To reset EQ you can return "0#0#0#0#0#0#0#0#0#0" in "audio_frequency".
Speaker EQ settings don't affect any headphones, work in all modes (dynamic/movie/music, also in ringtone mode)

Thanks, sounds really better now!
Speaker bass and clarity is good.
Will this trip safety net? Thanks!

Nope.
Igot this working. Thank you for your help. The bass is really nice, but I am concerned about whether the heavy bass will be bad for the speaker in the long run. any idea?
Also, also preset audio_frequency for car speakers for heavy bass? Thank you! this is great!

It can harm at max volumes, mostly the top speaker. If you constantly use max volume or close, better keep first three bands under "6.0" and turn off "Intelligent EQ" (set it to "3"), as any iEQ enables additional bass boost for speakers.
My goal was great clear sound at low-to-mid volumes.
I was searching for the possibility to enable EQ on 7t without root, but nothing really worked, until I found Dolby Atmos DAX2 app (originaly from Razer phone)... (you can find it on apkmirror - I cannot share links yet...) works pretty well... maybe someone can have a use for it too...

Great finding, thanks! I checked it too and it works
This DAX2 app doesn't sync with built-in Oneplus sound tuner though (7T at least). Any change under "Settings -> Sound & vibration -> Dolby Atmos" and EQ for any device will be overrided.
It seems Oneplus has 2-way atmos audio library access - via standard SoundTuner app (in "Settings") and Dolby itself (which can be tuned by this DAX2 app).
I updated the first post - how to fix loudspeakers imbalance and improve total quality.
Try it, now Oneplus 7T sounds perfectly

Will done. Sounds beautiful!
Thanks for the awesome work. Anyone planning on making a magisk module or something simple for those of us not as inclined to flash all this code?
Hope too, i'm not into magisk much...
A thing about step 2 - this file is personal and keeps your headphone profiles too. Unless magisk module can change (not replace) *db file, you will have to re-tune all profiles again.
Upd: I removed attached file for replacing original db. Seemed to work incorrect even on my device (dolby turned off any effect). Manual editing still works fine.
Hey! I remember back then you posted a value set that produced great bass. Could you post that again? Thanks!

Hey! Before finding dax3_sqlite.db i used almost the same set for global EQ (now this is "step 2"):
Code:
2.5#6.8#0.0#-8.0#-6.5#-5.0#-4.6#-4.2#-4.0#-4.2
A value set i like most now in combination with additional "step 1" is updated in the first post.
You can visually and faster adjust EQ with Dax2 app in this post (then copy its values to "step 2" and remove the app):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/dolby-atmos-equaliser-7t-hd1903-root-t4054999
Thanks for the guide, my speakers sound really nice now. I have a few questions. May I know how you got the values for the speaker balancing? Not planning on doing it myself or anything, just curious. Also, with your EQ values, what are the odds of damaging the speakers at max volume?
Thanks for feedback, I also loved more 7T speakers, though sound got a little quieter.

The stock top speaker is louder (not much, but noticeably), GSMArena also mentioned that. Stock EQ values ("Step 1") remind me random earthquake graph, for example bottom speaker gains:
-219,-16,68,-16,-16,0,9,-11,9,-16,52,9,32,-16,-46,4,-11,12,38,-16
So I reset them all to neutral ("0"), add little bass except lowest/highest bands (speakers can't produce 46/20000 Hz). Then made bottom value set +32 higher ("+2 db"), it sounds ok for total balance (no precise measurements with mic). After I adjust global EQ based on this neutral setup ("Step 2").
Curious can also find more hidden fields to tune like bass boost, headphone optimization in the "dax_sqlite3.db".

Good odds with extreme gains and constant max volume. I mean "step 2" (global EQ), no harm with "step 1" only.
On my experience all gains below +6 db are save, no distortion. One can decrease this to +4...5 db for sure safety.
Thanks for this man, now my 7t speaker sounds correct.
Anyway would you please share your EQ settings for Headphone?
