Flash siyah kernel or Franco kernel.
They have sound boost and optimisation.

Do this and all will be ok
First of all, please note that your computer must be rooteado and admit that you modify the system and in some countries you may lose your computer warranty.
First of all, you need to download two files: Root Explorer and a modified file system that will do the miracle. I leave the links for you to download:
Root Explorer
Modified system file
Now copy these two files to the external memory and then proceed to manually install Root Explorer.
When you first run Root Explorer, Root will ask permission to continue its execution. You obviously agree.
Now pay attention to the following instructions because if a wrong file modified, hate me forever xD.
Find the folder called system and you enter into it and looking for the folder called etc and you enter too
Now you push a button located on the top of the screen called Mount R / W. At the touch will be renamed Mount R / O.
Now find the file called default_gain.conf and stop sticking your finger over it to make you see a window with options. You select the option to rename the file and you add a. Bak at the end of the file name and save it there. This will serve to leave a copy of the original file in case of emergency.
Now from the same Root Explorer should go to external memory and copy the modified file you copied earlier. For that you must close and reopen Root Explorer, go to the folder mnt and then enter the folder extSdCard that would be the directory of the memory card.
Now find the changed file, leave your finger stuck on it until you see other options, choose Copy.
Now carefully press the Back button on your Galaxy SIII twice. Looking the system folder, then you log into etc and there you must press the button that says Paste to copy the
Finally off and then turn on your Samsung Galaxy SIII and now start enjoying the real power does your smartphone.
You should know that the power of volume increases in the audio output for headphones, for the speaker and for Bluetooth stereo headsets. In the case of the speaker, is not leaving the ring volume and notification to the maximum, otherwise it will saturate. If you take ear-type headphones in, please be careful with the volume because you could cause you damage your ear.
Alternative use one of the tools on Play that boosts volume .
Or Boefella kernal that allows setttings adjustment of sound levels .

Sup all, I have been tring to change my startup/shutdown sounds and I followed some f the other threads but with root explorer when I go into system/etc/poweron.wav but there is no poweron.wav file. I also tried to paste one there but it wouldn't take. I use verizon blackehole 4.3 rom. Any answers anyone? Thanks
/system is mounted as read-only by default. You need to have it mounted as read/write to be able to paste/push files to /system.
how d I mount it as read/write?

i use root explorer
go to the dir you want r/w access
hit the top right hand button
paste your file
I did as you said but still no results, did nt paste so I tried to power off and no sound. I have noticed that on another rom I tried it had sound but I just cant get this rom to sound.

in \System\Media\Audio\ui\ replace the file "shutdown.ogg" with your own .ogg sound. If you need a program to convert a sound file to .ogg, there are plenty, but I personally prefer Audacity.
I have searched this but can't find my particular issue. I just flashed CM7 (previously had bionix). I followed the instructions on the CM7 wiki and all works smoothly and fine except in call volume.
It is extremely loud when I make/receive a call. When I adjust the volume it adjusts to what it is set to. How do I set the in call volume or solve this issue?
This may work with CM7's stock kernel. But I do know that if you flash a custom kernel like Glitch for say, then you could download a Call Script... http://androtransfer.com/fascinate/90call_vol.zip... With this file you can tweak all the call volumes to your liking.
Instructions (if you have Glitch kernel running):
1. Download the Call Script.zip
2. Extract the .zip
3. Move the file to your phone's internal SD card
4. In Root Explorer hit the "Mount R/W" button
5. Still in Root Explorer move the 90call_vol from the /sdcard to /etc/init.d
6. After it has been pasted into the init.d folder long press on the 90call_vol file and hit "Open in text editor".
7. Once the file is opened, the file will take you through the rest of the steps.
8. Once you have tweaked the settings in the file do a reboot and test out your phone. It may take a bit to find the perfect balance but with a little patience you will .
Thanks for the advice and guide. I just went through the steps and it is still way loud. When i place/make a call it is way loud and if I adjust the volume with the rocker buttons it goes to what the volume is "supposed" to be and what the screen is showing (hope that makes sense). Please help, I was stoked to run CM7 and this is making me want to do something else

I was having the same issue on Glitch. Even if you're not on Glitch, I suggest flashing another kernel.

No problem. But did you try these steps w/ the Glitch kernel (because I don't think the stock CM7 kernel supports Call Script)? I was having the exact same issue and the Call Script fixed the issue for me. I'll upload my Call Script (already tweaked) in a few. In the mean time I would suggest you look into Glitch, much better then the stock kernel in terms of battery, stability, and color. Plus it will allow you to fix the horrible loud distortion present in CM7.
Yes, I installed Glitch and edited the file as explained and still had the issue. even a screen of your file would be good, I tried all different settings from 0-3 and each started off way loud and then when I adjusted the volume it went to where it was supposed to be.
each time you edit the script, you want to reboot the phone for the settings to take effect. also, make sure all permissions are checked by longpressing on the script using root explorer, select permissions and check all selections.
with glitch kernel, set all incall boost to 0. the highest would be 1. settings 2 and 3 cause distortion. in any other kernel, i've found setting 3 is the same as setting 1 in glitch.
This worked perfectly for me! Glitch kernel on MIUI SGSII rom.
Thanks!

Question....I can't get this to work. I notice in the file it says, "just be sure you do the chmod and chown commands below in any case." I think that's the piece that people are missing, and I can't seem to figure that out. I tried to go into terminal emulator and say
Code:
chmod -R 750 /etc/init.d/
and
Code:
chown -R root:shell /etc/init.d/
...but for both commands, I get that the operation is not permitted. I think this is what is causing my changes to not apply correctly, and I can't seem to figure out how to do these two commands. Both the etc and init.d folders are set to r/w/x, as well as the file itself
Are these commands extremely necessary and if so, what can i do to more easily make them work?
Perhaps someone would be so awesome as to create a flashable script for linux dummies like myself?

You don't need to use Terminal Emulator. It's 100.1% easier to use Root Explorer. Here's what to do. These are similar to the steps I posted above, but I simplified it to make it easier for yah...
Instructions (While on Glitch):
1. Download the 90call_vol (To make it easier use mine which is already configured)
2. Move the file from your PC to your phone's internal SD card
3. In Root Explorer hit the "Mount R/W" button
4. Still in Root Explorer move the 90call_vol from the /sdcard and paste it into /etc/init.d
5. Now the most important step... REBOOT
6. Done! Now test your device
Yep, that's exactly what I was doing and still, when I make or receive a call, the in-call volume jumps up to max unless I turn it down. T. Then if I make or receive another call, the in-call volume jumps back up again. This cycle constantly repeats itself. No matter what, the actual in-call volume keeps jumping up to max.
Thanks for trying, though.
And you're on the Glitch kernel right?
Yep. Glitch V13...
Boo. First off thanks for the help and guide but unfortunately it does not work for me. I've tried this twice now on cm7 and miui fresh installs. Neither worked and I followed the steps exactly. Man this is lame. Is there a previous version of either miui or cm that doesn't have this issue?

This did not work for me.....
You all are selecting ALL permissions in the script with the script in the /system/etc/init.d folder correct? the permissions must be done while the script is in the init.d folder. If you make the permissions before moving the script over to the init.d folder, it will not work. It should look like rwxrwxrwx (Read Write eXecute) for the User, Group & Other fields.
How do get to the permissions? I didn't see that. Also, does anyone have a link to the original cm7 kernel to replace glitch if it doesn't work again?
Never mind. Got the permissions set and it still starts out loud, this is ridiculous.
wow... sounds like your phone just doesn't like you. haha.. kidding.
another thing you can do is use Script Manager from the Market.
run script manager
navigate to script (doesn't matter what folder the script is in)
select script (window pops up)
select "Su" (android skull & bone crosses icon)
select "Edit"
select "File Editor" (make sure the settings are what you want)
press the phones menu button to save (you may be asked to save again when pressing the back button to go one screen back, of course save it again.)
select "Run" (window changes)
select "Close"
you need not to reboot or set permissions using Script Manager, so go ahead and test.
if this works, you need to set the script to run at every boot using Script Manager by selecting the script again and select "Boot" (gear looking icon) and run again. (Su should still be selected as well)
if you end up tweaking the script again, just select "Run" after you are done editing, then "Close". no need to reboot.
IF this too does not work, then you might want to try a fresh install of CM7+Glitch without any other extras, besides the script just for testing. and if you are not on the latest CM nightly, i suggest you update to it.
Boo, my phone does hate me! It must know that I want a Galaxy 2 lol. Well I tried the script manager and it didn't improve. Right now I am on MIUI and like it but could try the CM7. Both ROMs with glitch 13 gave me the same issue. I wonder if my speaker is messed up or somethingm although previously on bionix it was okay...
Before I start, I'm not sure if this is know or whatever, but I wanted to contribute it anyway. So yeah.
There's a vid on the bottom showing the results.
So I ran into a really cool mod for our TPs. I found that I was able to change all the system sounds on the ICS rom. I was able to replace the default system sounds with custom sounds of my own. I ran into this idea when I was replacing the system sounds on my laptop's OS (Windows 7). And I thought, hey, why I couldn’t do this with my TP. So I began my research here and various places in search of custom sounds that others had used. I found none mainly because I cut my search short. Anyway, I replace several SS (system sounds) with really cool, IMO, sound effects and synthesize speech. For instance, my lock and Unlock system sounds. My "Lock" sound, this is when you push the power button to allow the TP to sleep of shutdown, has been switched from a "Click" sound effect to a synthesize speech saying "Good bye." The same goes for my "Unlock" sound, which is now "Welcome." I also switch the "tick" sound with a single water drop sound effect and “Notification sound” to a speech synthesis saying “Your Attention is required”. You’ll find all of them attached to this thread. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY CUSTOM SOUND EFFECTS PLEASE POST THEM HERE!! I'D LOVE TO HEAR THEM!!!
It's really neat IMO. Anyway, you can do this too and here's how:
Disclaimer: I will not be responsible for any harm or damage that you may cause to your device. Proceed at YOUR OWN RISK.
Requirements: Must have rooted device.
Things you'll need before you start:
•Desired sound effects. You can use the one I supplied if you like or you can use your very own.
•An audio converter. There are tons of free audio converters out there. TONS. I used Switch Sound File Converter. It’s free and incredibly fast.
•A root explorer app. It must be able to access, read, and write system files. Root Explorer is perfect.
• BACK UP YOUR DEVICE. You don’t have too but I don’t want to hear crap.
Installation:
1. Download your desired sound effects.
2. Convert, if not already, these sound effects to an “.ogg” file. With Switch Sound File Converter, simply drag and drop selected files into the “add files” box of the program. Then, on the bottom left of the window there is an “Output Format” field. Select .ogg in that box.
Explanation: We must convert to an .ogg file because it is the only kind of file android recognizes in the system folders.
3. Compile all newly converted sound effects into a folder and name it whatever you like. Something you can remember. Now drag and drop it to the root of your device. We just need it to be somewhere where we can access it quickly.
So at this point you should have the folder that contains all the converted sound effects in a folder in the root of your device.
4. Now with your *Root* File Explorer, navigate to the folder containing all the converted .ogg files. Choose one to begin with. I’ll switch up my “Lock” system sound with a speech synthesis saying “Good bye”
5. Select and long hold the desired sound effect.
6. Select the “Copy” option
7. Now navigate to the system folder. You’re going to have to push back several times to get to that folder. This is the path: system>media>audio>ui
8. Now paste the file to this folder.
9. Okay. Now we must rename that file we just pasted to the one we want to replace. In this instance we’ll be replacing the “Lock” file.
• To avoid troubleshooting, rename the file to “Lock1.ogg.” Do not forget that “1.” I did this because I didn’t know how the ROM would react to two files in the system with the same name. I basically did it to be safe.
• And Spell it out exactly how the original file is spelt.
So now we have the original file and the pasted file. Do whatever you desire to the original file. Delete it. Copy it to back it up. I don’t care. Just remove it from this folder.
10. Now rename the file currently named “Lock1.ogg” to just “Lock.ogg” without the “1.”
11. Now we have to set permisions. To do that, press and hold the system sound file that we just renamed. Select "Permissions." Make sure that the only ones that are check are the entire "Read" column and in the "Write" column the user should be check marked. It should look like an upside down L.
Explanation: We cannot simply use a file with a random name because the Android OS only recognizes these specific tittles or descriptions. Trust me; I have tried many times in the “notifications” folder. I thought it was just a drag and drop thing. Boy was I wrong.
12. Now test it by pushing the power button. If you don’t hear the custom sound effect, try doing a hotboot and try again.
In addition, you can use these sound effects on your PC. Of course you'd have to use the original files and not the converted ones. But they work all the same. I've replaced most of my PC system sounds with these.
Again, Please post your custom sound effects if you have any! I'd really like to hear all of them.

More sounds
In regards to more sounds/notifications this site has literally thousands, all in mp3 so need to be converted http://soundjax.com/ . I use " Captain incoming message" just search Worf , for my E-mail notification .
Hope you find it useful.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!
(do I need to convert the mp3 to an OGG file?)
I'm pretty sure it takes an mp3 file? Just put your mp3 file at /system/media/ and name it "boot_audio.mp3"
The instructions are repeated under Rom Control > General UI (they're greyed out under "disable call volume")
Ahhhhh I made a folder boot_audio.mp3, lol. Now the only system/media folder I have is in the ROM zip itself. Is that the one I put it in and reflash?

Well I thought I had it but when I was checking my failed work I noticed that my" boot_audio.mp3" is now a " boot_audio.mp3.ogg". I used Ghost Commander to move the file.
Just to clarify it isn't or is the system/media from the ROMs zip itself?
Thanks again, this battle is now a personal challenge, lol.
Ok, this is what you do.
1. Find an mp3 file you like (MP3 file, not an Ogg Vorbis file)
2. Name it "boot_audio.mp3" (case-sensitive)
3. Copy it into /system/media/ on your actual phone (NOT in the ROM zip unless you want to have to reflash your zip)
4. Change the permissions of the file to rw-r--r--.
5. Go to Settings > ROM Control > General UI and make sure that "Disable Boot Audio" is UNCHECKED
6. Reboot.
Thanks for the total walk through. Got it working this morning!

I think the boot sound volume fix is already been applyed,the best fix is in the build prop: persist.sys.boot_volume=100. that's the loudest i, think it can get until the AOKPs find a way to increase it some other way. But as far as my understanding of this its a temporary hit and miss kinda deal. I maybe wrong here,if I am I'm sorry for the missleading post and will remove and or edit with correct info...(if needed but I think I'm right...lol..lol )

Not on the phone. You would have to load that mp3 into an audio editing program on a computer and increase the volume of the file itself.
HI, I'm also looking into increasing my boot audio volume I took a look at the build prop. But I can't find this line (persist.sys.boot_volume=100) anywhere do I just edit the file and write it into there? I'm running AOKP 7.3 also. PS I have used sound forge and Increased my Volume 1000% I only here a little Difference. Sorry If this Isn't the right place to ask this.
Guys,
I can't post in the official thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/guide-headphone-speaker-volume-booster-t2819821
But I just wanted to confirm that if you root your device and follow the directions here, I've got confirmed working on the Sprint LS990 variant of this phone. The thread mentions nothing of this on Sprint or the LS990 but I can confirm that it is indeed working.
You'll need to:
1. Have root with SuperSU installed
2. Install Root Browser and 920 Text Editor (Available in market for free)
3. Navigate to system/etc and then mixer_paths.xml
4. Change file permissions to rw-r-r
5. Save to your downloads folder just in case you trash your phone or something
6. Navigate to markers mentioned in thread link above. The LS990 variant will have aforementioned markers listed approximately 15 lines later in the code. Edit them to your liking.
7. Save, reboot, pray not to get caught in limbo.
8. Enjoy having better sound than everyone else with a phone.
Just an FYI anyone attempting this: If you do not edit the permissions correctly when overwriting the file the phone will not boot. It will get stuck at the yellow sprint screen and you will have to preform a reset.
Root browser did not allow me to change permissions correctly and when going quickly I did not notice it when overwriting.
However, second attempt after recovery it worked great.
Thanks for the info TROPhouse
So i havnt edited yet but permissions look right here. Will they change after I edit and save. And then change them back right. I don't wanna get stuck since we have no custom recovery yet.
Did it. It was way worth sweatin through the reboot process. Haha.

What settings did you end up with. I used 68 or 69 on all mine and it's pretty good. Not sure if I want it louder or quieter but it's definitely way better than stock was.

I did 69 which seems perfect to be honest... I mainly hear music at the gym and usually use soundcloud... at 69, I don't even get close to full volume on the phone now. Its perfect
it seems like there are another few steps in this process that aren't being mentioned, like how to save the mixer_paths file because following the instructions and updating the lines I want to update then trying to save with 920 text editor ends with the message that it's a read only system file.
Anyone care to fill in the blanks as to how you get the update to stick?

Don't know if this is too late to help, but...
I don't use 920, but my guess is there's an option somewhere (probably in settings for the app) to switch the file system to read - write mode, instead of read-only. I use the FX app, and that's what I had to do with it. Be sure to set it back to read-only when you're done.

SUCCESS!
So you need to download an app that will mount your system, I used an app called mount/system. You launch it then select Mount r/w. Once you do that you have the needed access to edit the files as listed. I used this guide as well and had success....hope this helps others!
copy the original mixer_paths to your memory by ES file
edit it by notepad++ on windows and put it again in your memory
copy it from internal to your /system
highlight it and set permissions rw r r
move it from /system to /system/etc/
reboot and enjoy
Has anyone tryied playing with bluetooth volume i cant find where to change it any sugestions?
Nice, I haven't had any issues with my phone being too quiet, but I also came from a Verizon G2. Those were noticeably horrible for volume levels, so the G3 is a welcome change.
In regards to all the questions about which app to use for which function:
You could use Root Explorer, or any other file explorer that has root capabilities (ES File Explorer, Total Commander). You do NOT need to use a specific app set and if your file explorer can't mount/unmount the system partition with root permissions, try a new one because that one sucks.
You also should not be downloading three separate apps to accomplish this. It's kind of overkill to have a file explorer, a text editor, and a system partition mounter when any decent file explorer has all three of those built in. I think ROM Toolbox even has all those capabilities in the free version.

It's kind of overkill to have a file explorer, a text editor, and a system partition mounter when any decent file explorer has all three of those built in. I think ROM Toolbox even has all those capabilities in the free version.

Agreed but I downloaded ES File Explorer and several others and I was unable to find the ability to mount as r/w. If the option is in those apps, it's very much hidden so an app to mount your file system then an editor was what I needed and it worked.

ES's current interface does hide a lot, and is in almost every way inferior to the original interface. But the option is there. It's also in FX (File Explorer) which is my root editor of choice.
the pursuit of sound quality! bullet for my valentine cant be heard on stock!!!!!!!
tried this. guess i messed up. stuck on spark screen. sat and read through the pages here. gotta fix my phone when i get home tonight.
what did you change you volume levels to?
So can those who have successfully made the edits share what volume levels you changed and what are the new numbers? I've made the change to mine and even with my $100 earphones there's distortion at what I feel is a low level. I'm thinking maybe there's a balance among these that I need to achieve?
thanks!
