It is loudest it can be...if you go over expect sound clipping and distorsion. I maximise loudness with viper4android driver.

I got now this values in and i got a great result!! Nice loud powerful no distorbing clipping.
Thx you soo much for your help, without that phone would be useless for a music guy like me
Again thx.
Cheers.

You welcome...just playing with values can get best scores.
Remember not to touch mixer_gains.xml to avoid bootloop !
I get into bootloop when I tried to edit it.

Ive tried mixer_gains.xml before, get not bootloop but also no effekt at all.
Anyways, thx buddy.

Yes indeed, Note 10+ is bad device after all.
Even my S8+ have better sound.
Camera is avarage bad, sound is very poor...etc.
It seems like bad investment.

Those seem pretty high compared to presets. Yo really changed them to 229/209?
Is there a certain sequence of numbers you have to use, i.e., what made you choose those numbers?

I think I've found a solution. I'm still on pie but I couldn't edit any vendor files within android. So I copied mixer_gains.xml to my internal storage, editet it and replaced it with the twrp recoverys file manager. Of course you need to make sure that vendor can be written.
Just for your safety, take a backup of the edited file or a full vendor backup.

Distorted sound when talking on the phone

I've found this issue with several roms. Recently I had PDACornerPro V22 on my TyTN and the sound was much smoother and clearer when talking on the phone. Now I've got V23, and it's like it's distorted by loudness, as if you where playing music on a stereo way too loud for what the speakers can handle.
It's not that it is much louder, just distorted as if it were. Had the same issue with PDAViet's ROMS in the past... Lowering sound volume to the lowest setting while on the phone does not help, it gets lower but still sounds terrible. Anyone got any ideas?

I'd be very happy if you could find those reg tweaks! SetAcousticParam does not exist in Windows\StartUp folder. Only "poutlook.lnk".

Thanks alot! Speedy service i may say! Will try it.
I don't understand. What kind of value types is it? Strings? Binaries?
Ok I got it, but it doesn't make a difference. Still screaming loud. Even after soft-reset. This is so annoying. I know it's rom related since PDACornerPro v22 had great smooth sound. And on another fact, my mother has the exact same phone as I but running official ROM, and her phone sounds great too.
Got any more ideas?

I dont get it, I have the same problem. it looks like 'SetAcousticParam' is the problem so removal should fix it. The post that you linked to indicates installing 'SetAcousticParam' unless I'm reading it wrong!

How to make the touch pro 2 louder?

Im currently using the new energy rom and I have used the audiopara. I just want to know if theres any other way to make the touch pro 2 louder because I feel that the TP2 can be louder
-Thanks

before I tried audiopara i used a program from warlock called increase volume 20% and it made it so loud that when i played music over the speakerphone it was too loud. I think that any louder would start too distort. I did find though that it increased the volume in the earpiece as well and for a while i had bad sound on phone calls. I uninstalled and installed audiopara but it didnt seem to do anything. I then reinstalled the increase volume 20% from warlock and the sound from the earpiece during phone calls seems fine. Try it and see what happens. I found the cab here on xda. Let me know your experience.
i see, I will test the warlock program out. Can you send me a link, or a forum that u found it in?

Tab S sound Boost, cannot find Mixer paths xml file? Help needed

I love my tab S and maybe this is the best screen I've seen my whole life.
But one thing bothers me that, I've been using the s and note devices from past 3 years, one thing I always did was Boost the sound for Speaker and the Headphone in the Mixer paths xml file.
I've searched this tab for a similar file and have got absolutely nothing.
Any good developer please help me out, if you can find that for it would be a great help

You could install my ROM and use the DSP manager, it also uses mixerpaths though a more serious answer is look at the comments it should point u in the right direction.

I was just searching but couldn't find the right direction, actually M reluctant to move to Cm I don't like touchwiz but I want a fully functional stock ROM, saw the comments section couldn't make it what were you telling my friend
Can you please consider me a noob and help me out? :angel:
you can edit default_gain in system/etc
I thought xml edit only applied to CM/AOSP/GPe roms.
OP, did this end up working out for you?

I've attached some screen shots to what you need to modify to increase your external speakers along with headphones.
You'll need Root Explorer or equivalent.

I have tried that and multiple others. Some work well, some dont.
None have given me what I am looking for which it the ability to boost things like system volume, notification volume, etc. Still looking for a way to do that.
The best that I can accomplish is boosting media volume via a music or video player. If that is all you are looking for then the equalizer and bass booster will work fine.

what are the difference between moding mixer_paths and mixer_gains ?
I edited the mixer gains to 40 for the headset media volume and the sound is so great now but I still don't know the difference between both files

Gain controls the sound volume
Path tells the inputs and outputs what to do.

You need twrp when it comes out or you can unzip and replace the file in the same location as the zip.
Plus change the permission to r--r---

It's in the first post.
Just replace the gain with the gain
In system/etc
Rewrite permission to r--r---
Than reboot
Use root Explorer

Enhance volumes on speakers and headhpones in (nougat) (root) .376

I have edit mixer path to have more volume out from speakers and headhpones
Backup original file from
/etc (file) mixer_paths.xml
And copy this one to there... then chance permission to rw-r--r--
The file will overwrite itself whit the one located also on
/System/etc
If you dont do it this way for some reason you may have some sort of problems where some app doesn't hear and video lags
Reboot then your set... enjoy and please hit the thaks bottom

Hey mate,
I've just finish to replace my file with yours. After a reboot, it worked very well, I've notice a very good enhance volume on my headphone. (I was testing this at work so I couldn't test the speakers.
Thanks mate !
@kristijan15 Hi mate,
I've noticed this morning, when the sound is very low, there are some Sizzling sounds when I play some music, I've tried with two pair of earphones so maybe it's because something isn't properly adjusted ?

Well that is pretty normal when it comes to sound amplification, everything is amplified from the music to the background noises and hissing

Check it out, but every build is changing the structure mixer_paths.xml.
You can edit the file yourself mixer_paths.xml in its sole discretion.
