Hey guys...
I switched over from a sammy based rom to a cm10 based one and the only thing that bugs me(very very much!) is that the speaker volume is very low compared to my previous rom.
On sammy based roms there was a file named default_gain.conf in /etc directory where you could modify output sound.
On cm10 i see there's a file named m0 under /etc/sound directory which is similar to default_gain.conf.
When i changed values in m0 file and rebooted,like i did with default_gain.conf before,sound got a litle higher volume but only just a litle bit...it's still very low for me...
Anybody knows how to make this thing louder please??(without equalizer software and other things like that,i want to keep my phone light)
EDIT:I managed to get it to play as loud as sammy based roms but the bass is terrible....
It's overpowering and makes the speaker boom no matter how low i set it...too bad....
I'll switch back to my previous rom now.

Flash siyah kernel, it comes with nice sound tweaks.
Thanks for the suuggestion.

I tried acid....it's very good in general.
But it spoils the natural sound for me,which i like to have plus no effect on speaker output...(i'm kinda of an audiophile and have a very sensitive ear).
Anyway i switched back to sammy rom and now everything's fine...

Hello everybody, first sorry for my bad english.
We all know about the Xperia NXT seri like Xperia S,P,U. All these phone are have Sony's technology for increase sound quality: Clear Bass, 3D stereo, and s.o in our forum ported it to xperia 2011 seri, and it's working very good.
For people don't know, here is the guide to have Clear Bass in equalizer:
Added the SemcMusic.apk to system/app, set right permission, then flash the Soundfx_Xperia_S.zip, and reboot. Now you have the Xperia S Music app, with Clear Bass in equalizer. Here is the link:
SemcMusic.apk
Soundfx_Xperia_S.zip
The problem is, whenever there is low frequency in song (bass sound), the volume is automatically set lower. I think SE did it for protecting out ears, but the volume is smaller, and so the detail of the sound is decrease.
I think that if s.o know how to edit and remake the files in soundfx folder, maybe we will have perfect sound quality in all xperia phone,cause i don't know anything about edit android system file.
I found that in the soundfx folder, there is a file with name: libhearingprotection.so, maybe it include some infomation?
Actually i quite dissapointed with arcS sound quality
even x10 mini sounds better
Btw do anyone know how to enable 3D stereo part in Equalizer ?
Someone could port the "Beats by dre" from the sensation, it will improve headphone sound quality.. It's already ported to X10 & other phones, take a look here (or xda news): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23073113

What settings do you use for dsp manager?

I rule manually to get the sound I want. There is no miracle setting. DSP Manager stays in back and start automatically with the phone.

Thx mate for the link. It helped a lot.
Hi everyone, i'm curious about something, In Sammy roms, the sound is really LOW! I can barely hear the notification sound, or call sounds, music sound also isn't as loud as AOSP, when i flash CM7/CM9 or AOSP ICS the sounds is AMAZING, very LOUD and clear, can i somehow make some changes in sammy roms to get AOSP sound capabilities? Thanks!!

Hey I got power amp with equalizer full and I must say, it rocks on GB, great bass and rich sound but I flash ics and the quality sucks bad. Could this b a kernel issue? With the ics or just the developd roms not good music sound wise? What's your take on this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
The ICS roms available for our phone are based on a leaked version. I expect the "official" release to be better in every way including audio. You should however install DSPManager and tweak your sounds a little bit and see if that helps or consider installing the Beats Audio mod.
I use PowerAmp myself and never worry about how the stock player sounds. Installing an Equalizer app or DSP manager will also do the trick to let you tweak the sound to your own liking no matter what version of Android you're on.
I want to know, is there any mod for sound quality for ZU....what i want is great experience with sound when plug in a pair of headphones.... I have some quality headphones but it seems the sound is not with my liking....it seems bass is not strong and the loudness is less...
Maybe im to much comparing it with my iPhone 4...cause they have exclusive apps for music and the sound on it is amazing....i just hope the ZU have nices sound quality....
Hope someone can help...

There are mods for sound volume, but the Sony based ROM's (mine included) even CM based ROM's can't change what Sony have done. and the thing is that even companies like sony... all they can do is change EQ settings which they do with clear voice and +enhancement. So there isn't much we can do, because its all about hardware. The XU has ok hardware, but not fantastic.
So all you can really do is make a custom setting for EQ settings that feels good for you.

Android is fixed @ 44.1 KHz. I'm afraid that just resampling chain will be longer, and whole operation is pointless without kernel driver replacement. Right now we have 48KHz fixed hardware (by kernel driver), so....
Sound player -> any sound mod --- > 192Khz upsample ----> 44.1 Khz android downsample -> kernel driver 48 Khz upsample
All you can really try is this clean audio mod
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1Iy8gxK9tcZS1RhY0REaHFXQ2M/edit?usp=sharing
It increases the volume with clear audio and also increases the bass. But its still just EQ settiings. But with this as a base, you can also improve other settings in the EQ

But how bout Zeroinfinity sound mod....I've used it in many xperia variant device and the mod seems to work...don't know it will work on ZU but will check....
And if you have any info, can you point out what is the best sound EQ for ZU right now...maybe it just EQ but it seems to make some different on hearing....on iphone I used ACUDIO and it work perfectly and many sound mod to choose but android don't support it...hope to point the right direction...

I made three of my own mods to improve and tweak certain things on a Sony base. But the reason I don't have them in the ROM itself is because most people want to keep it stock. So then you can mod it they way you want. Of course there are tweaks within build.prop that do a lot, but not at a base level.

I've been without my Ultra for 7 weeks now... (sent in for repair) so i'm not sure what settings within the EQ would work well. I should have it back wednesday I hope...

Well maybe, but given the option within that rom is a great thing to and also easy to get rather than search one forum at a time...yes it's good to keep it stock and like me, also like it that way but a change also recommended....if want stock, why flashing the same thing that what is already there....of course some stock rom like yours have modified to make it better but some little change is also good or given the option to do so within that rom....just my opinion....
Like me, I like it to have a theme, like different icon, added resize widget and maybe like Htc widget, more animation, different battery icon with percentage...just my wish list....some of this can be found on old phone but not today's....just miss it...if I have a skill to make my own Rome I will make it like that, but not possible by my knowledge....

Hi guys,
I just got a S3 (very happy so far), rooted with Omega 444 (amazing!). Anyway, UI used to use VolumeBoost to increase the volume on my HTC Desire for taking the noisy metro each morning. But it doesn't seem to work on the S3.
I used PowerAmp as my media player.
Any suggestions for the best app for boosting the volume? Ideally it should work without me having to open the app.
Thanks

dont know how volumeboost works, but in combination with poweramp most of the time you have to disable dvc in poweramp settings in order to get sound mods to work

But beware that if you flash a custom kernel with EQ, verify that it doesn't interfere with the Poweramp's EQ or any other app you use. Sometimes, kernel's EQ can be quite sensitive, depending on what you chose.
