I've already looked around at various options for boosting the volume on the phone, and I've run into issues at every point:
I've seen people reply to these threads saying that it's the headphones at fault: My headphones are fine. I'm comparing volume to an HTC Desire, and the SGS2 is distinctly lacking. And yes; I have plugged my headphones in fully
Another common reply seems to be that MIUI volume is higher than Stock so there is no issue. There is an issue: it's quieter than an HTC Desire!
Using *#197328640# to access Service Menu -- I'm running MIUI and therefore do not have the stock dialer, so codes don't seem to work. I could flash the stock ROM, do the code, fix the volume, but apparently the setting is lost after reboot -- so flashing MIUI after that is certainly going ot lose any settings.
I had a go with a couple of apps off the market, with low expectations, and they didn't work either.
I'm rooted (of course) and reasonably tech-savvy so I'm quite comfortable with a Linux system and ADB, quite happy to hack and patch. Is there any (permanent) fix I can apply to increase the volume? I'd prefer something fairly elegant, like applying the Service Menu options manually (somehow) at boot.
Have you tried Voodoo Louder?
Great tip, I wonder how I didn't find a reference to Voodoo before... I just bought the app and it seems to be working as expected!
Thanks a lot I'll test it through the day!
try the fix that in my signature then if u like to use voodoo louder u ear will blown lol
^^
+10000000000000 this ;-) Have been using Yahyoh's fix for a while now, have tried Voodoo Louder but this little app increases volume much more & also gives a "fuller"/less hollow sound.
Thanks for this info yahyoh, it's quite interesting that it's using
Code:
# alsa_amixer sset Headphone 31
I had a quick look (via BTEP) and found the names of the devices:
Master
Headphone
Speaker
Side Tone (NB. my previous research suggests playing with this will create echos in phonecalls -- so probably don't play with it!)
There are a bunch of others; I got the list via
Code:
# alsa_amixer | grep '^Simple mixer'
I am slightly wary of this solution, however, since it sounds like it keeps executing these "sset" commands on a regular basis (every second or so) and it doesn't seem like that elegant a solution. I'll stick with Voodoo for now, and if it isn't enough, I'll revisit this modification of the ALSA settings.
I'll pay special attention to the warmth of the sound, too, as I've installed the CyanogenMod DSP Manager, so thanks for the tip MistahBungle

Does that fix work on MIUI ROMs?
OP says he's running that, fix says for AOSP ROMs.

Yeah it will; MIUI is AOSP, as is CyanogenMod (which MIUI is based upon).

Apologies - I'm stupid today - bloody toothache
Yea the volume is way to low. I would love a fix. No programs
There is no fix without a program. That little app of Yahyoh's doesn't work with ICS, Voodoo Louder will give you up to 6dB extra volume with headphones/headset.
Does this increase system volume also?
would like to know this as well
the sgs2 just becomes picker with headphones - you gotta go with low impedance models. something like < 20ohms

For all the talk about upgrading the ROM lately (still hoping the new official one comes out soooon), I was wondering if anyone had given any thought to replacing the external speaker (on the back) to get a higher volume. Does anyone think this might be possible?
Also interested in this. Not so much an 'AudioPara' tweak, I'm already working with DCD's 2.10/3.27 so the volume has been modified already. I'd just like to know you can make the external speaker any louder, for videos and other media.
I'm interested in this as well... I came from an LG VX8100 that had the stereo speakers on the side. This phone's speaker has been a very big let-down.
Have you guys tried the SRSWOW.cab file that's floating around the net?
I had to put the SRS settings as headphone to notice a big difference, but the volume is way better and not distorted or crackling.
I've done a search on srswow.cab on google and came up with nothing. any pointers as to where to look would be most appreciated.
BTW, I'm using the audiopara editor from neu and it's good but just undocumented so it's hit or miss, if you turn the settings up too high you can fry your speaker, the feedback on just a little bump on the sliders was amazing, plus it making the sliders higher makes picking up the background noise in a call so you can't hear the other pserson a big possibility.
SRSWOW
Is this watcha talkin bout??
thanks, where'd you find the file?
opens the program and comes up with an error message that there is no SRS driver loaded, the program will not exit.
Error
Same here . . .
im flashing my fone rite now...lemme finish it and see if i get that error...i just had it laying around in my Collected Cabs folder
Reset . . .
Just do a reset then it loads fine . . .
waiting to see how you guys feel about this update. Better speaker volume is a fantasy, although GPS and rev A are a dream to me but I hear they are available and I'm working on making dreams come true
it runs fine on mine...i just cant test it rite now...at work lol
will test when i get out and report in quality/sound levels
restarted, it works fine, again, can't test it unless someone calls me.
is there any documentation on this thing?
i found a website showing the d/l location and etc with other ppls comments; but no luck at srslabs.com either
http://www.freewareppc.com/multimedia/srswowhd.shtml
Will this have any impact on the internal speaker? I find the volume to be exceedingly low, even at full volume, when taking a normal call on the phone, not on speakerphone.
The software provided ealier doesnt do much for the TITAN. Infact it lowers the performance of the speaker. The installation worked, but the end result was poor.
No matter what setting I put in, it would make the volume lower instead of higher.
I think this was meant for stereo speakers to create that Sorrround sound type of effect,but since the TITAN has a mono speaker it only produces one portion of the sound.
There is something out there called the HTC Audio Booster. It is supposed to help with volume increase, but so far the applicaiton itself is broken / or i havent found a functional one.

Are you positive you've adjusted the settings enough. I find when you change the settings to:
(internal) stereo
3d 80%
center50%
focus40%
definition40%
and also make sure the speaker settings on top are turned up (I forget to do that a lot)... this cab works well
I just did this update on a wm6.1 and no issues with install. Its hard to determine if so und is louder but my butt dyno says it is. Played some ringtones and things are louder (not as loud as Touch though, I dont think) but will make some phone calls to get a better idea
I install every program on my 8 gb memory card now but this seems to cause issues. AIM doesnt show up on programs list (have to access from memory card), GPS program only found on memory card and wont open even after successful install (GPS TODAY) and now this file, i cant even find the utility anywhere. And I followed instructions on listed website above:
"Setting > System > WOW HD settings.", there is now WOW HD settings...maybe I have to soft reset?
I have an issue of volume being very soft when using a earpiece or playing music compared to stock. Anybody have this issue or any solution to it?

Maybe try Voodoo Louder from Google Play. Gives you up to 6dB extra volume thru headphones/headset.

Any other way except 3rd party? Like copy audio lib from stock etc??

Probably not.
There was a little app (free) that used to work on AOSP GB roms that played with the ALSA settings to increase the volume on headphones/headset (a lot; much more than Voodoo Louder does), but it doesn't work with ICS. At all.
Voodoo Louder really is the only option that will give you a nice kickup in volume without reducing the sound quality (I've seen people claim some other apps increase volume more, but tend to mess the SQ up).
I guess you could try copying the audio libraries from stock, but good luck getting them to work. They're obviously not going to work on any AOSP based rom, and you'll likely have a lot of problems getting them to work on non-stock Samsung based roms as well.

Wanamlite is a custom rom based on samsung ics
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I have done research and it appears that Samsung has it set up to ring softly and get louder. Which results in missed calls. Anyone have a way to disable this without keeping an app running all the time?
Also anyway to boost the volume as this phone is the most quiet phone i've ever had and it sucks missing notifications and ringtones. You can't really put a cover over it as it makes it a little bit more quiet and I"m already missing things due to the sound not being as loud as any other previous phone.
Anyone have any fixes? I've searched the net and many people seem to be having issues with it not being loud enough.
If you don't have a fix, but think it's not loud enough chime in so some devs can get it on it maybe?
I hate the volume on Ringtones on this phone too. There is an option in sound settings to make it ring louder in pocket but that's all I've found
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
There are a few apps on the Google Play store that let you boost sound.
Although I have not tried it - there are a few that seem to have good reviews and solves that problem, or at least makes it slightly more tolerable - hope this helps.
I checked all the ones in the app don't work on the new android OS. This really sucks. No way to boost volume at all it appears without a dev coming up with something. Unless someone else found something?
Assuming you are rooted, this makes everything louder: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293133
Great find. Thank you.
Agree on the weak volume
I need to root my phone apparently because this stock volume BLOWS! I cant say how many calls Ive missed due to not hearing it in my pocket.
If it's just the ascending ringtone (it's quiet for the first 3-4 seconds and ramps up), you can try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shumoapp.disableincreasingring. The first post said without apps.
I heard that there is a lot of confusion about installing ViPER4Android on Nougat. After searching around the web i found a way to do it ^_^ It should work on all Nougat build released until now. Last test on N4F26J
First of all unistall any previous ViPER4Android app.
Requirements:
Root
TWRP
SuperSU 2.78 or higher
BusyBox 1.24.2 or higher installed in \su\xbin
Installation:
Flash ViPER4Android_2.5.0.5_guitardedhero.zip in TWRP
Go to vendor\etc and remove/rename audio_effects.conf using any file manager with root access (ex. Root Browser)
Open ViPER4Android app and install driver (Grant root permission). (It could freeze for a few seconds, just be patient!)
Reboot
Disable MusicFX app
Reboot
Done :3
I hope this will help you
Thanks to guitardedhero for the modified zip file
EDIT: fixed google drive link
ElementalX kernel not required. Thanks for the guide.... Enjoy
Works on stock?

viper4android saying not enable and not processing....anyone with the same issue?
for me its only working in compatible mode.. anyone else?
Did not completely work for me. At first when i did the procedure everything was ok,driver installed neon,ok. But when i played native audio or pandora no difference. Also when i plugged in my Fiio K1 DAC it change to not supported abnormal. Tried clean installing into system 3x, edidtin,deleting, the file in vendor. No luck, maybe we just have to wait a bit longer, rom used is Purenexus. Also when i did it,i already had the drive installed.....
---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------
UPDATE:
So i did get it working, but i used the Viper 6.01 that guitar user posted in the nexus 5x forum.
Works with only Headphone jack,
NOT with usb out. When using USB out it just dosent work.
Also for some reason my pandora now keeps crashing
BUT IT WORKS, so i think ill keep it. Ill leave the DAC/AMP at home for my laptop, and use the viper limiter at maximum and just up the bass a bit.
All i wanted was to get the bass higher with out maximizing the volume.
Id suggest using arise, it's way better than stock Viper
If I may make a suggestion that will ultimately save you a lot of grief, move to the updated ARISE sound mod by guitardedhero and others. The latest is deuteronomy 2.x and, as opposed to the tweaks, futzing and issues of sound being processed/sticking or not, this is a much simpler install and just works.
Head over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/r-s-e-sound-systems-auditory-research-t3379709 and just install the base version. You'll get Viper4ARISE. I still flash a permissive kernel zip with my Nougat ROMs, but since I switched to ARISE, V4A has worked flawlessly, and it sounds even better than the old V4A from this thread.
It also removes MusicFX with the install process and I haven't had to disable/remove the audio_effects.conf file either.
Lastly, I'm not sure development is continuing on the base V4A anyway. ARISE is the way to modify your Android sound processing now.

You don't need to AFAIK and it isn't a kernel. V4A used to need SELinux permissive to run, but stock and most custom kernels run enforcing. I just mentioned that I flash a permissive mod out of habit FYI. You are likely better off going to the A.R.I.S.E. threads to discuss issues.

Just flashed Deuteronomy 2.1 (non classic) on my nexus 6P. After enabling V4Arise and enabling speaker optimization, the phone speaker sound is actually worse than stock, more muted across range. I haven't tried headphones yet. kinda disappointed. My advice: V4A is overhyped. just keep stock sound.

Sorry, but you clearly haven't tested anything at all yet. Speaker optimization isn't that great and yes it mutes it, but that's to avoid the pop and tinny issues with many phone speakers. However, if you use that, then play with the EQ and other settings, you may surprise yourself. That would require more than a 5 second evaluation though.
Have you tried the EQ presets or customized them? What about dynamic sound or the various compressions? How about any number of things most people would play around with before writing something off? These types of tweaks are, after all, the point of a sound mod with a detailed EQ.
Since you admit you haven't even tried headphones, let alone bluetooth and haven't played with the EQ at all, it may just be a wee bit early to pronounce it a failure. And ... the VAST majority of people who use it would disagree.

Hours or days? It takes me a few minutes of playing on a fresh install until I hit what I like. Plus, you can save your settings as a profile. However, it's clear from your responses that you can't be bothered to actually test it. If you have a home stereo, you play around with EQ until you like it. If you listen to music in your car, you set treble and bass, balance and other things. This is no different. How on earth a sound app that, at its heart is an EQ, could be set and forget BEFORE YOU INSTALL IT is beyond me. That's not even the purpose of it. If that's what you want, then you're not looking for a sound mod. The entire point of a sound mod / EQ is to allow people to adjust the sound to their preference for their hardware and listening preferences/context.

ultyrunner is absolutely correct here. The criticisms you have leveled against this project would be considered rude (and a bit ignorant) even if you actually had a solid point to make, or some evidence to back it up. As it stands, you don't have either, and asking a question like "What's the point of installing it if you have to do all the work yourself in that department? I'm not an audio engineer..." is just unthinkable. People specifically poured blood, sweat, and tears into this thing for that exact reason... so that people who aren't engineers can improve their experience via the developer's knowledge. Either you were just being flippant about "having to do all the work yourself" and you don't actually mean that - in which case it would have been preferable for you to just say "thank you but I am having a few problems," et cetera, and be on your way...OR you do actually think you're doing all the work, which is a smack in the face to a developer... a developer whose work you very obviously do not grasp the complexity of, nor the amount of time and effort required to produce said work. Don't bash people's work if you haven't yet evaluated it properly, and most especially make an effort to understand it at a high level before you complain (if you really need to complain at all, which you don't).
I'm sorry, but if I was the developer, seeing a comment/comments like these would be enough for me to close down the project ASAP. And I'm not just pulling that out of my ass, I've been through five or six phones and development communities here on XDA, and I have seen exactly that happen on more than one occasion.
And that's the problem with XDA. People take things to personally. This isn't a forum for babies. We're allowed to express our opinions and concerns here, believe he or not.

Have you tried using the same impulse response files with JamesDSP?
Copy the .irs (or .wav, .flac) to /storage/emulated/0/JamesDSP/Convolver and enable Convolver in JamesDSP.

Even if we'd share the exact same setup (e.g. settings/IR xy sound great with my Shure SE425 in-ear headphones, but not so great with my AKG Q701) and preference of music, it would still be incredibly subjective and mainly based on taste. Certified sound-engineers would probably disagree, I guess
My suggestion is: leave every (other) option off, download a pack of different IRs (e.g. https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/collection-convolver-samples-389-t3140299) and try each one out. If you found one you like, (slightly) tune it with the EQ. At least that's my "non-pro" approach.
Mostly all I want is to make the phone louder, well the phone speaker, on Bluetooth speakers etc it's fairly OK
Next issue is echo sound on ringtone and notification
I'll try IRS out and maybe someday have Viper4android
It's a system-wide audio-mod, so yes, if you have e.g. Virtual Room Effect turned on or use a noticably "reverberating" impulse response file, you'll experience echo on ringtones/notification-sounds too.
I've managed to make the speakers slightly louder by choosing the highest IR Volume Level (30dB), but I think the device's speaker volume level/overall sound-quality is just physically limited. They are not the "best" speakers after all.

I noticed the room effect and turned it off, but just using Irs or some of them and seemed to be an echo,
Speaker is good enough, it is only a phone after all, there are small bluetooth speakers now that have great volume to help
A nice guy from the Telegram channel pointed out, that you can avoid processing system sounds (ringtones/notification) by switching DSP registration mode from global to conventional (screenshot added to OP).

Confirmed working (speakers & headphones (can't test bluetooth)) on my FIG-LX1 (L31) - EMUI 8.0.0.148(C432) - Magisk v17.1
Edit: If you don't want ringtones/notification-sounds to be processed, switch DSP registration from global to conventional. (3dot menu - top right, screenshot added)
Huge thanks to natanrosenfeld (he made a YT video, explaining a fix for previous version (now fixed with v1.7)) - and especially the JamesDSP dev team!

Hi do you know if I can change mixer path values without root and using adb on pc? , I'm trying to raise volume of WhatsApp calls, calls and maybe a bit of loud speaker volume but I'm trying to avoid root etc. Thanks any advice would be appreciated or a link to tutorials. I'm on psmart. Thanks again

Sorry - I'm not an expert, so don't take my word for it - but I don't think that's possible, since all these files are stored in locations, where (non root) users don't have write permissions. Even with a rooted and/or custom recovery device, I don't think it's possible to alter app-specific volumes by just changing mixer_paths.xml values.

Sorry I know I mentioned whats app but really I just mean overall volume. With my moto g5 I was able to edit mixer path values which led to louder everything. But that was only with root as I'm new to adb. Thanks for your response

In case your bootloader is unlocked, iirc you could theoretically fastboot flash TWRP - and use TWRP's "privileged" terminal (e.g. (mount /system), adb pull/push and edit the file(s)), and then (re)flash stock recovery again - without actually rooting the device.
Again, I'm not an expert (also didn't try it myself) and can't guarantee above mentioned procedure works, despite my inner-Sherlock-Holmes tells me, your bootloader is actually not unlocked.

Yeah still locked dude, tried DC unlocker but they refunded as I'm on latest security patch and admitted there is nothing they can do right now.
