Ok in that file towards the bottom are 2 lines referring to audio..both values are set to 1.. if increasing the values to 3 or 4, will that make the volume of ring tones and what not louder?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Usually the values are 1 and 0, 1 being on and 0 being off or enabled and disabled.
There's a thread in development that shows how to increase volume, I never looked at it though.
Ya there was the qpst thing i tried but i didnt not a difference

Try this app, I use it and it makes speaker+headphones so much louder on MT4G and it has equalizer for both.

Also try the DSP settings app in some of the custom ROMs, that will also give you volume boost. Id stay out of the build prop if you dont know exactly what your doing, Ive heard bad things can come from a simple mistake.

I have noticed that while talking on my phone if I adjust the volume using the two buttons on the side it only adjusts the "System". I notice no change in the volume from the earpiece.
Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a fix? Or am I just an idiot doing something wrong (always a possibility)?
have you installed any registry tweaks or other programs? I tried switching to the stock window dialer and lost that function and had to switch back.
If you have disabled the HTC dialer skin, then you won't be able to control volume without installing the cab in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2718080&postcount=7
I did switch to the stock dialer. Thanks for the info.
i had another ? regarding changing the volume... when i change volume up and down it increases or decreaes 3 bars at a time.. is there a way to only make it go one bar at a time....?
i remember reading a hack out there to perform this but i cannot locate....
HELP...
if you use the stylus or if you have really really pointy fingers you can select bars inbetween the 3.
.. and then i wonder why my screen is so scratched up

You did huh, I'd be very interested because I've been searching for this or how to do it for a while now. I can't locate where to change this, so if you can remember anything. I'ts very useful for people using their phone as an MP3 player. Let me know, 12

Want to try to overclock to 1.3ghz+?
Tired of the speaker not being loud enough?
Tired of hiss and noise with your high sensitivity headphones?
What is this?
I have made a free app in the Android market to tweak a few things I've added to the Nook Color kernel. I hope to add more features to this app later. For now you can adjust:
*CPU speed per stepping. Allows you to overclock as much or as little as you want.
*CPU voltage control. Undervolt for better battery life and/or overvolt for better overclocking.
*Headphone analog gain
*External speaker analog gain
*DAC gain
*USB Host control(requires OC kernel 06/18/11+)
*U-Boot control(courtesy of FatTire)
What can I do with this?
The CPU settings allow you to customize the CPU clock rate. With my overclock kernel the OMAP CPU has 5 OPPs(steppings) available. This app allows you to change the clock rate for each of those OPPs at runtime. Want to try to overclock to 1.3ghz? This app allows you to set the clock rate of your choosing.
You can also use this app to help get rid of hiss and noise on your headphones. I have sensitive headphones and I find the hiss and noise to be downright abnoxious on the Nook Color. With B&N default settings, I can only turn up the "Android media" volume to 25-35% before its too loud. This means the volume difference between the noise floor and the audio is very small which makes the noise noticiable. To partially fix this issue you can either turn down the DAC volume in this app or turn down the headphone analog gain. I prefer to just turn down the headphone analog gain until I can increase the "Android media" volume to 85-90% for comfortable listening levels.
If the external speaker is too quiet you may need to increase the DAC gain. Note that this will also increase the headphone volume so you may need to subsequently decrease the headphone analog gain.
Why use this app and not the other apps in the market?
The primary advantage to using this app versus other more generic apps you might find in the market is that this app makes low level changes in the driver to increase volume. Other apps must make these changes in software to be hardware agnostic. This leads to reduced audio quality versus hardware level changes.
Note: This app requires kernel support. For audio settings you will need a newer 2.6.32 kernel found in CM7 Nightly 88+ or my(Dalingrin) overclock kernel for B&N Froyo 1.2 and CM7.
For CPU settings you will need a 2.6.32 overclocked kernel from 06/09/11 or later.

I love it! It works great so far for external speaker, really helps when in the car with music and in a case watching netflix. Thanks again!
Awesome app Dal, just what I was looking for! Thanks for all your awesome work on the NC.

I am running CM7 5252011 #87 nightly & this app notifies me that the kernel is not compatible & I need a later ver of CM7. What am I doing wrong. BTW thanks for this app. It is a big deal!!!!
Thanks,

Just tried messing with the settings for the headphones, and wow, its so much clearer now! Awesome app, really makes the NC that much better.

two good things happen with this apps:
first, it really reduces hiss in the headphones to levels i cannot hear
second, finally it has a link to donate to the person who contributed the most in making the nook the great device it is now

Man volume fixes, and usb host coming in at the same time.. you know somthings are brewing when the devs go quite for a while.
I am actually having some problems with this app. I can increase the DAC a little bit, but if I even touch the external speakers option the sound goes out which requires a reboot. I am running nightly 87, with the oc kernal of 5/23. Any ideas? Great app by the way, I can tell from increasing the DAC that it helps a lot.
5 stars for you on the market
of course!

Lol. I thought I was the only one!
So, increase the DAC, then if you open the speaker or headset, the sliders go mute by default. So open it and just slide the sliders over
A bit confusing. I even did a restart because I thought I broke something...
FYI, CM7 nightly 87 does not have kernel support for this app yet. You will need to wait for the next nightly or you can use the OC kernel now.

I am probably missing something really simple, but for the life of me can't figure out how to fix this without a reboot.
I increased the dac slightly, then I increased the external analog gain slightly, and it stopped playing... or i thought it did.
I checked my speaker volume through the main settings and it was all the way up. I checked it in the cm7 settings and it was all the way up. Then i went back into this app and increased the dac about halfway and could hear what was playing, but barely. And when I increased the gain more it did get a bit louder, but not loud enough to listen to from more than a couple inches away.
Story for the trouble, i know I'm just missing something. Thanks for any help

This issue is fixed and the app is updated.
The problem was that the gain settings were defaulting to 0 on first run. This should not require a reboot to fix. All you need to do is turn up the speaker analog gain. I would turn it all the way up. You should have no problem hearing the speaker at this point and it will no longer default to 0 once you adjust the gain.

hay, dalingrin, do you think this will be merge with cm in the near future? this with cyanogens DSP Equalizer would be a great combo.
At night even at 0% brightness I find the phone too bright and would like a way to lower it. I also think the minimum volume level is too loud to be comfortable in a quiet room and would like a method to lower that as well. My last request is a technique to seperate ringtone and notification volume levels. If any of these are actually possible through MODs without hobbled fixes by apps in the Play Store, I would love it! I'm running a modded stock non-deodexed ROM with unlocked bootloader and ROOT. Please help and thanks!

to lower the autobrightness values, everything is in /system/framework/framework-res.apk - res/values/arrays.xml

Thanks for the reply! Will modifying these values enable the phone to go lower than the stock 0% brightness? I don't use auto brightness and keep my DNA at 0% brightness most of the time, only going higher in sunlight.

I don't know if you'll consider this a "hobbled app" fix, but I've been using Power Toggles to substitute for my CM habit.
You can adjust notification and ringtone volumes from the notification drawer that way.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it out and while it does have separate sliders for the two volumes, it does NOT actually work. The two volumes are still tied together in practice. After ICS I think I've read its linked at a system or kernel level and I was hoping someone might work on a fix to address this. Also, referring to "hobbled" app fixes, I saw an app that used a workaround by switching to a custom ringtone to adjust that volume separately but was hoping for a streamlined system built in mod so that I don't have any extraneous apps or screens to delve into to adjust settings. I like minimalistic and debloat anything I dont use. Thanks again for the feedback.
i agree 100% with the sound being too loud, which has been an issue since ICS on even the Rezound...so i think their whole upgrade of the newer OS's made the volume louder. the rezound, on lowest sound level, was 20%..that's ridiculous, it should be half that, or around like 5%. even changing volume steps never worked because there was no lower volume.
I have been having trouble with my ringtone for a while now. It will only cycle once and that is it. So, if I don't hear it on the first ring I don't catch it. Does anyone know how that is adjusted with in the ROM? Right now I am using CM.10.1.2.FIREBALL.mdm05.zip. Perm ROOT, S-Off and all that.. Whichever ringtone I use will only sound once and that's it, HELP. Thanks... p.s. To clarify, this is not a voicemail issue. The phone will keep ringing only it will be silent after the ringtone cycles once.

this is because cm for some reason gave control of ringtones to phone.apk and not let the system handle it. if its a stock ringtone it will loop but custom ones wont.
to fix you will need to edit your build.prop and add 2 lines at the bottom, please make sure that the build.prop doesnt already have any of the following:
ro.telephony.call_ring.multiple
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay
if you do have then, please delete it and at the bottom add this:
ro.telephony.call_ring.multiple=false
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=200
save changes and reboot. your custom ringtones will loop once again.
worked like a charm...
Your advice worked like a charm. I knew it had something to do with the build.prop functions but was not informed enough to mess around in there. I did what you recommended and it worked great. Thank You and Thanks for your help and advice... do you know how I can adjust the time in between rings. I messed with the delay amount (200 to 400) but that did not seem to do it. Thanks in advance...

200 is 2mil seconds. so if you want to mess with it more and notice a difference you will need to go higher i believe. like 1000 would be one second.
Can someone tell me how to increase SPEAKER (not headset) volume on the note 8. Exynos and rooted. Basically how to increase it in mixer gains.
Have you used the "adapt sound" feature in the phone settings? If not, run the adapt sound tutorial, and it should make a noticeable difference. It has for mine and I know others have been pleasantly surprised by doing this also.
I believe the file to edit is /system/vendor/mixer_paths.xml . You'll have to search through many lines to find the relevant sound paths to edit. Most default to like 80, just raise the number up, reboot and test.

Hi,
I didn't do any of that. I simply changed the adapt sound setting.
Please look at the post prior to mine and try using the adapt sound function in your note 8.
Ok Devs could really use your help on this. The path for speaker just ends
