If you haven't tried the latest V4A, download the latest version from this thread. I think you'll find it does what your looking for. However, you do have to be rooted. :good:

Nor sure what, setting you're using with viper but playback gain provides at least a doubling of max volume. Use v4a_2.5.zip for a fully functioning viper in 8.1.

[MOD] Volume Boost for Headphones, Earpiece, Bluetooth, and Speaker. JB/KK/G3 Roms

AS OF NOW, THIS IS UNSUPPORTED, IF SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE OVER DEVELOPMENT FEEL FREE TO, MAKE SURE CREDIT IS GIVEN TO ME AND IXNYNE. EDITING THE FILES WITH A TEXT EDITOR WORKS BEST. HAVE FUN!!! EMAIL ME @ [email protected]
Hey everybody, I just made some Headphone volume boost scripts, all are tested and work, though some may damage your hardware.(Continue reading)
These are flashable zip files that will work on any recovery.
They range in digital volume from 62-68 for now. And range from 19-20 in digital volume. (63/19 only)
They are safe to flash for the most part, but values above 65 for digital volume MAY damage hardware.
How to install:
Download and flash in CWM, TWRP, or Philz
Downloads: Below
-Slight boost, choose 62/20, 63/19, 63/20, or 64/20
-Medium boost, choose 65/20- Some devices may clip at high volume.
-High boost, choose 66/20- Some devices may clip at high volume.
-Experimental Extreme boost, choose 67/20 or 68/20- use with caution! May damage hardware.
I would recommend 63/19 for iPhone like sound. Or 64/20 for loud sound, without distortion.
Aosp earpiece boost and stock earpiece was removed, they didn't work correctly, use new earpiece and Bluetooth boost!
Remember:
I am not responsible if your phone explodes, creates a nuclear weapon, makes your ears bleed, or if it stops working.
If you say I broke your phone, I will laugh at you. Please advise!
Bugs: None reported... Yet.
Please tell me if anything is wrong!
Thanks,
willi_3609
P.S. this is working best on KK Roms. And new Earpiece and Bluetooth boost are out!!!
Thanks to iXNyNe for the base files!
Thank you for making this. I found it to be very helpful.

I believe the handset speaker uses rx1 so using the headphone zip should also set the handset volume.

It uses rx7

was looking for this a long time ago.. i flashed 2 files yesterday from some1 who posted other volume boosts as well but having a more wide option available is amazing....
If i an not mistaken , we can flash multiple files one after the other, correct ?
example.. i want to boost Head phone and speaker .. so flash Headphone6520.zip followed by Speaker66.zip ? or would Speaker66.zip overwrite Headphone.zip changes ?
As i understand it both files just modify Mixer_paths.Xml, so multiple flashes would just be overwriting the same file?
Thanks for the mod !
You can use both.

It just modifies them, you can flash both speaker and headphone, no need to wipe anything either!
Can anybody test somethibg out for me.
I need somebody with an AOSP based ROM to test my Earpiece zip. That would be great, ui need to know if it works on the D80x models
It should boost earpiece volume as that is the only lower value, but I would be thankful to have someone test it and report back to me. Thanks.
@willi_3609 Thanks for this..
i ve flashed some of them.. it works fine with cable headphone but bluetooth headphone is not as loud as cable headphones..
Would be much better if bluetooth headphones could sound like same as cable headphones
Thanks!

its been posted a lot of time, bluetooth headphone volume is digital. cant be changed
question: when i already have a volume mod flashed then i flash another kernel, the volume mod flashed will dissappear right? so need to flash the boost again..? ?

Answer: Its actually not about kernel.. But yes. It can help..
I ve tried many rome and mods .. Its definitely changeable.. Last time i ve tried sony walkman on my g2 (cloudy g3 rom) was the best sound with bluetooth.. It was as loud as cable..
but cloudy's rom wasn't good enough.. (heating) therefor i had to change it..
So one thing i m sure is bluetooth sounds can be changed..
Cm integration
Hey OP can you look at possibly getting this working with cm11. I know there are other mods that say they help with those volume issues but I've yet to find one that gives stock like or close to stock results. Thanks!
it already works.

It just edits a file already present in the Roms.

Yup, that works nicely, but:
1. Dont forget to change permissions on file file, or youll go into bootloop (happened to me before)
2. Im still waiting for a BT volume tweak because i dont think the mixerpath tweak works with bluetooth.

Make Speakers Louder?

Anyway to improve the loudness of the speakers without rooting? they sound good but they're not loud enough, especially coming from a MXP.
This is an easy one. You can increase the loudness of the phone by accessing the bluetooth options... In the bluetooth menu, you will have the option available to connect to other bluetooth devices. Choose a locally available bluetooth speaker and enable the BTA option...
Hence forth your phone should sound much louder. This is a secret hack, don't tell anyone...

No, without root and without using a mod there is no way, you could use a different player and see if you can tweak the audio but actual volume will still be capped.

Viper4Android will make the speakers louder. Unfortunately, I have not found a way of this mod not messing with the sound settings on the HTC 10. On mine, after installing V4A, boomsound is not working properly as well switching between theater and music mode

There's a few to be honest, any active or manual equaliser can get more out of the speakers as they are but may mess with boom sound which is already in place.
In regards to tweaking the actual max volume I believe it can be edited but results can vary and it can become unstable or even break audio altogether so I'd personally avoid that.
In regards to mods, the best one I ever used was one called acid which was just crazy, I had it on my s3 which became extremely loud without distortion, but I'm yet to see it on any other device, viper is another, team venom might have it on their rom.

Yea i hear you, the phone is loud enough, i mean it's a phone I would prefer it to be louder too tbh, but it'll more than do, it's definitely better than other phones, like the sammy.
The ringer volume is pretty bad. Only sound by the lower speaker, and very low. If somebody can help with this, very appreciate
is the ringer lower than on the m9?

I finally got Viper4Android to work with the help of other members. Audio is not broken and fully functional. It does increase volume of speakers nicely. In the link down below, download the 2 zip files, ignore the apk file. In TWRP flash V4A Convolver zip first, then the HTC-fix zip, then reboot.

I guess that if the upper speaker can be enable, the volume ringer can be more higher, the lower speaker is used only for bass and lower frequencies and for this some change in this speaker will not enough by itself for to improve ringer volume sound and quality
The V4A doesn´t fix the problem, if somebody know how to change this, welcome

Best Way to Increase Loudspeaker Volume?

Kernels don't support it, at least Franco and E-X don't, so any way to Increase the volume dB of the loudspeaker? The output of it is really clean but more loudness (without any crackling though) will certainly do. Anyone using any mod or something like that? Not really looking for something complicated like editing some text values or anything.

I would like to know this, too. Rings and notification sounds are not loud enough to hear well, even @Max Volume. I don't mind editing a file if I knew what file & what part to edit.
Install the Viper Driver. It resolved that issue for me.

Yes, boot into TWRP and flash this zip. When you do an installer starts up and you can pick and choose the mods to flash. I would also flash the battery icon mod so you can change the battery icons to something with a more visible percentage.
Last time I tried Viper, it made the loudspeaker get loud sooner. Such as volume level 50% was louder after the mod.
But overall volume was the same at 100%. I used an SPL meter and test tones to verify.

I was just sharing my experience from a while back. Have not tested recently. I don't remember which Mentalmuso package, sorry.

[TWEAK].Loudness tweak xml N975F- ROOT needed !

As I stated ROOT IS NEEDED for this tweak.
You can easy tweak headphones/speakers loudness if you change values ONLY in
VENDOR/ETC/ mixer_usb_default.xml file.
Here is modded example of loudness and only values marked in red are changed, otherwise, you can expect bootloop.
EDIT..... an extended discussion can be found here as well.
