Usb Dac gain control - HTC U11 Themes, Apps, and Mods

My Usb Dac dongle control app seems to be working with the U11 now. I specifically support the HTC adapter.
If anyone is interested:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/themes/pixel-2-usb-audio-control-t3704024

Works well. Thank you.
Question though, once you adjust the dac gain is there any way to make that adjustment permanent?

Absolutely, and you can have multiple settings depending on headphones/use cases.
See the OP about half way down:
The headphones screen transfers to form entry to set up various headphones you may own. If you know the specs, the app will calculate the Spl (but there is an issue with the Google dongle calculation, it's off by a few dB, Dragonfly is spot on). More importantly the initial Dac gain (in percent) and android volume can be entered, so when you replug, the app will start with those settings. It remembers the last applied headset setting on reboot. So if you liked a dongle gain of 32 of 64 (same as 87 of 175), that's 50 percent. Sorry about the lack of uniformity, but the dongles all have different gain numbers.
The list of headphone entries lies below. A single click chooses the parameters for the listening session(start vol, gain, etc) and will remain for the next Usb insertion as well. To delete an entry, long press on it.
If you get stuck let me know.

I have installed V4A yesterday and tried the gain option to the max but the difference in volume is minimal, is this usb dac gain app using a different way of boosting the gain and so it gives a better result?
Also silly question but is it Oreo compatible?

I have not used Viper so I can't tell you how it works.
This app is using Alsa, tinymix to directly control the Dac.
It is 8.1 compatible, meant for Magisk rooted devices.

And for not rooted devices? Is just what I was looking for but without root.
Anyway, thanks for the app.

Tried it during the weekend, really nice app and the boost is more than welcomed, now my U11 sounds 99% as loud as my ex HTC 10
I am just waiting for dolby to be as refined as on nougat to get the perfect sound quality.
If there is something to say, it's the UI of this app that should have lets say clearer menus like ''save config as'' for example

As Mckoy would say in Star Trek, "I'm a doctor not a software engineer".

Any luck in getting the Black Dragonfly in the supported list?
Nevermind read through and saw that it is. Thanks!

[Q] Louder volume mod?

Been wondering if editing certain values in AudioPara4.csv would help increase the volume output through the Headset? I did edit the files of system/etc and came up with the following flashable zip. There's also a stock one to revert back. I did test both but I'm too sleepy to notice a difference (Yeah, it's 8.30am here and didn't sleep a wink yet!). So if anyone would like to help, test the SOUND.zip and see if you notice a difference- and please report.
If it doesn't, flash back to STOCK SOUND.zip till further notice. And if anyone else would like to input any relevant info, that'd be helpful as well.
And please don't talk about Volume+ or equalizers, only looking for an internal mod that'd help with system wide volume boost.
Just for info, the only lines I'd edited in the Flashable zip is the hex values (to higher values) in Column H of PHONE_HEADSET_VOL0 to VOL5 (Row 77-82).
No difference. Not only this have tried many other tweaks but nothings helps. Stock sound is good on headset. What I want is some tweak for speaker ( it really suck )

But if you meant that as a temporary fix for the user peace.nitish, then I guess you're right. Volume+ does provide a significant boost (Avoid hitting the levels too high, may distort)- and is available for free on the developer's webpage.
As for the etc files, they may need some more looking at! Will post an update if I find anything useful..
i think all boosters/volume mods only harms speaker.
standart volume is enough to hear if someone calling you.
if you want listen to music, buy headphones.

Well, only on the lookout for a fix to increase output in the headset and not the speaker. The speaker is loud enough if you ask me, the headset could've done better.
I've modded outputs on several phones successfully (including a Sensation, Desire HD and HD mini, of the HTC line) and there are always values which will harm your speaker AND values that (if edited reasonably) would increase output without distortion to a higher-than-safe official value.
Editing the AudioPara4.csv file for devices such as Aria and G2 have proved a higher output. And I'm pretty sure it is responsible for the output on the WFS as well. Just needs some more looking into.

[Q] Is there a way to make an indivisual app (Netflix) louder?

Netflix highest volume compared to Youtube and ect. Is not as loud for some reason on my phone even with all my volumes up to the limit is there a way to change this?
I hate how low Netflix volume is, as well.

If your kernel supports it, you could use voodoo+, sounds plus, or xlouder, or dsp manager, to change the over all volume louder

My VolumeSwipe lets you adjust the volume by swiping along the edge of the screen in the small number of apps that it supports. It has a boost mode which lets you increase the volume beyond the OS settings. So one option, though not a very convenient one, is to install VolumeSwipe and turn on its boost mode. Then in Netflix, just swipe up to increase volume to 120% (say). When you're done watching the movie, swipe back down to a normal volume level before exiting Netflix.
I haven't tried VolumeSwipe on the E4GT as I designed it exclusively for the Kindle Fire (which needs something like it since it doesn't have volume keys), so the screen layout may look bad on a smaller screen, but it's worth trying.
If you find that VolumeSwipe gives you the kind of volume setting you like, you can post back in this thread and ask me nicely to add an option to remember the volume levels in the supported apps and to restore outside of them. This way, each time you start up Netflix (or one of the other supported apps--there aren't many) you'll get the same volume level, and when you leave Netflix, you'll get a default level.
Alternately, per-app volume-boost would be a nice feature to add to my per-app settings app.
Thank you!! Boosts enough in Netflix. If you can add option of remembering volume levels I am asking nicely! Really.
Thanks for all your effort,
Doc
actually that would be very nice and a nice feature im sure every1 could enjoy....also if you could the volume maxes out at 140 im not sure if im getting the same results as the guy above me lol but im getting miminal boost im thinking 175% would be perfect.

I worry that it might damage the speakers.
I decided to do this not with VolumeSwipe (which I recommend uninstalling), but instead with my in-development PerApp app, which lets you set different per-application settings.
PerApp 0.01 lets you control Volume Boost and Orientation Lock.
To set Netflix to a louder volume, run PerApp. Select Netflix. Choose "Boost". Set a volume level like "6" (=140% in VolumeSwipe). Back out of the setting. Then check off "Active".

[MOD] Audio Tweaks (Including Silent Camera)

Audio Modifications​
DISCLAIMER:
I am not responsible for problems you may incur.
Please do some research if you are a first timer.
Only you can choose to use this software.
By downloading you agree to these terms.​​WHAT THIS TWEAK DOES:
This flash-able Volume-tweak.zip includes both mods simultaneously.
1) Silent Camera!
Volume.db
Replacing the existing volume.db file, the one I'm including disables all shutter sounds (which I may change to one of the shutter sounds), autofocus sounds, and other obnoxious camera tones. I understand that Samsung's idea is to make people aware that others may be photographing them, privacy stuff and all, but let's be honest shall we? Creepers are going to creep one way or another, and the autofocus 'beep' disturbs the baby and makes the dog bark! It also disables the boot sound. Best part of this tweak, it doesn't even touch the actual camera apk!
2) Volume Enhancing!
default_gain.conf
The next is a mod adapted from the developer Meltus. You may know him for other awesome volume modifications, but this one he made for the GSIII international. This should make the phone overall louder in all respects. I have, however, adjusted it from his original settings to keep the volume from reaching 'crackling' volumes and possibly damaging the speakers. This level sounds loud and still sounds good. :good:​

It's brilliantly simple. Most android phones come with these settings ingrained into the kernel, but Samsung has left them out. In theory, one could make these adjustments from on the phone itself, if you can open a .db file. Very simple, nothing that can break a phone. Just be careful not to blow out your speaker or your ears.
Sweet, Camera sounds really annoys me.
Time to creep!!! (on my kids ) lol

As an addendum, this tweak is even neater because it disables the camera noises on a system level. I've seen a supposed higher-resolution camcording camera apk floating around that 'supposedly' disables camera noises as well... but it doesn't matter if it does because this tweak stays in effect. I don't believe this will affect other camera apps... but any Samsung camera variant should be muted.
Random you rock. Great to see you here. Your OG epic stuff was awesome. Thanks for the sound free camera!
Randomking ive seen your work before amazing stuff glad this got ported i was gonna try to port the volume mod but still no phone yet =( thanks a million anyways

For the sound boost (using the international tweak) you used the config file, correct?
That file does not, by default, exist on our US variants. I've personally included the tweak in my ROM over on T-Mobile. I've had a person or two say it made no difference. Me personally, I thought it was louder then hell (changed speaker boost from 0 to 40 and headphones from 0 to 25). If I put the volume on the lowest possible setting, its very audible still. With my headphones, I put it on three ticks and it was loud. Putting it up fully made me feel like my eardrums were going to pop.
What are your feelings on the tweaks? Do you think they actually work? Considering the config file doesn't exist by default, do you think they're actually pointed to in our system to be used?

I too noticed that the file isn't there, and was momentarily skeptical. But as the base coding is likely fundamentally identical, I thought I'd give it a chance. It's hard to fully test while at work... but I can hear my mp3 alarms quite clearly now. I had made a thread days ago regarding how my songs play fine in the player, but at half volume as alarms. The alarm was much much louder! And I generally have a fairly discerning ear.
That said, I now have to experiment the individual settings I think.

I agree the coding is likely identical. My skepticism comes more from the fact that the file doesn't exist by default. If it doesn't exist, and we add it, does anything in our system actually point to the config file in order for it to actually take effect?
Regardless, I'm pretty positive it works. I just was hoping someone had a better understanding of how it works and if it's actually pointed to.
When you play around with it, mind PMing me your results? I'm curious what you get.
For one, change the headphone settings and try with your headphones plugged in. I think they're extremely loud with the boost set to 25..

Certainly. If different values draw drastically different effects... I'll probably be making a "Louder but comfortable" version and an "Extremely loud, hearing damage may ensue" version. :good:

There will be, but I have to write up the script to delete the conf file later. The volume.db file need only be replaced by the stock one.

[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?

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

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.

Increase speaker volume

I find the volume rather low, especially compared to my One mini..
Now with the mini having beats, it was just editing playbackbeats_l.eq and playbackbeats.eq to 1.2 setting
Now we have playbackMFG_l.eq, playbackMFG.eq, playbackwoofer.eq, playback.eq and playback_l.eq, tho only playbackMFG_l.eq, playbackMFG.eq, playbackwoofer.eq are showing the same values as the beats ones had before (but on 1 and not 1.2 ofc)..
So which ones of these do i have to change to get the sound boost going?
Seriously? Volume not loud enough still xD
I will come up with something in a few days
The beats method I discovered only works with phones with Beats Audio I still haven't found a proper method for the M8 yet! Hopefully the M9 shouldn't be too hard
Hahah yeah, compared to my Mini that has the 1.2 setting, it's far more quiet, and the Mini was already very quiet at stock... :\
But thanks, hope you can find something :highfive:

I also hope someone (or HTC) comes with a solution or brings more attention to this. I am coming to my M9 from the M7. The notifications, rings, etc are very soft volume at the highest settings. I have missed many SMS from this and using the same ringtones from my original M7.
Me too. The phone has the most clear sounding speakers but I wish they were louder. Could this be fixed/changed with a software update?
Same issue here. I sent HTC an email but haven't heard anything back yet. The sound quality is good but nowhere near loud enough. Notifications are very quiet even with the volume all the way up.
Sent from my 0PJA2 using XDA Free mobile app
There is a hidden menu or a dial secret code to enter the engineering mode like mtk chipset?
I am also the vibration a little 'soft!
With that menu could fix all these things but I can't find it!
I only found the code to enter the tests menu and even in the developer option from there!
I have to use mine on lower than max settings because it's too loud. Doubt any mods will do anything to the volume as an increase in volume will be traded against a decrease in sound quality as always.
Did anybody find a way to increase the speaker volume?

Seriously guys, nobody found a way to hack thet
Guys, for volume boost on m8 & m9 you must edit playback.eq and playback_l.eq (for right and left speaker respectively), just erase all the digits and make it look like playbackbeats.eq from beats phones (1 1 0 0 0 0; 2 1 0 0 0 0 etc), then just edit values to 1.1 or 1.2, just what are you want. Also if you know how to adjust parametric equalizer, you can edit stock values (for example 0.39374446868896 + 0.1 = 0.49374446868896), then you should edit the first value in each row.

Guys, for volume boost on m8 & m9 you must edit playback.eq and playback_l.eq (for right and left speaker respectively), just erase all the digits and make it look like playbackbeats.eq from beats phones (1 1 0 0 0 0; 2 1 0 0 0 0 etc), then just edit values to 1.1 or 1.2, just what are you want. Also if you know how to adjust parametric equalizer, you can edit stock values (for example 0.39374446868896 + 0.1 = 0.49374446868896), then you should edit the first value in each row. Sorry for my bad english.

I seriously doubt that works as people already have tried that:

The beats method I discovered only works with phones with Beats Audio I still haven't found a proper method for the M8 yet! Hopefully the M9 shouldn't be too hard

Switched to AOSP/CM rom and my volume is very loud now. I can actually hear my notifications.

For beats phones you should edit beats files (playbackbeats), or playback files, for phones w/o beats audio - only playback files. It really works and many people on 4pda forum confirmed it.
switching to AOSP
Can u tell me how to make this change? Do i need an unlocked m9? I am also trying to find someone who can make the LED flash standard RGB as notifications similar to previous and all other phones....Anyone know how to get these basic features to work???

i found a way to do it without root or custom roms. may not work quite as well but it definitely improved my volume. It seems the extra bass makes the volume really low so i downloaded the equalizer app on the play store and decreased some of the bass and it sounds great now. The eq settings I find to be most effective are as follows. 60Hz all the way up, 230Hz at 0 dB, 910Hz all the way up, 4kHz at 0 dB, and 14kHz all the way up. If you don't wat the eq notification in the status bar just disable all notifications for the eq app. I hope this helps for all who don't want to root or use custom roms.

after using this method ive realized with loud enough songs the speakers just dont work till u disable the app... so unfortunately this doesnt work after all.
