Are there any of these out there? ? Well.. not that I've found, and why is it not more of an issue? Am I the only one that makes calls on headphones? I love aosp but unfortunately this is a deal breaker for me since I can't hear very good to start with, plus the other person can't hear me..
I know I have posted this multiple times in multiple threads but I have tried everything I can think of to fix this problem but as of this point I have not found anything yet. At least not anything that will stick it after a reboot. Alsamixer does fix the problem with a few adjustments but it won't stick, obviously a system file resets it at boot.
Last night I found a file that configures the sound and does stick but I have yet to find the correct configuration. The file is toltecdma found in system/etc/sound. Any help is deeply appreciated.
The only one is the latest carbon ROM find it in original development. It has voodoo support built in just download voodoo sound from market . Ill pm you the link.

Thank you, does it also increase Mic volume on the headset in call. Every time I've used an aosp rom my wife has a lot of trouble hearing me and she has very good hearing.

Well, it's not a "fix" but I have finally "worked around" my problem. Using tasker and some alsa_amixer scripts I can now make/receive calls and be assured that I will have loud headphone volume and a loud mic so the other party hears me loud and clear, and just in case I have a tasker shortcut set up that will run the script with a click.
I am now happy enough with the volume that I can finally run the aosp roms as daily drivers.
I also boosted my system wide sounds by editing the /system/ect/sound/toltecdma file. It sticks after a reboot but when a call is initiated the in call settings are reset, hence the need for tasker.
Maybe someday I will figure a true fix for this but for now problem solved.
My assumption is that there is an xml that needs to be decompiled/recompiled (maybe one of the alsa files in /system/bin) to be edited, or the tiny hal configuration needs to be changed prior to building the rom. Not sure, but these are probably my next steps.

Guys-
There seems to still be volume issues with this new ROM and the old audiopara.csv fix for ROM 2.17 does not work for th newer one. Can someone tell me how to alter the old fix or is there a newer audiopara.csv file out for ROM 3.35 for the Mogul phone? Thanks...........
this only makes the earpiece louder, i have not done the speakerphone yet.

Will you post it here when you do one that improves the earpiece, speakerphone to this post?
does this program have options or it defaults to higher volume settings?
Sorry for the possibly ignorant question, I am faily new to WM devices but want to improve the speaker volume and the earpice volume on the mogul ppc6800... its too low!!!
Thanks
Would this help the bluetooth volume?
I used an Old audio para from 2.2.0 and it works well for this ROM.
I believe no2chem has a audiopara program that allows you to build an audiopara to your likings. It is part of his tools such as nueLED.
dcd, I am able to open the AudioPara.cvs in excel... if I want to customize it to improve the speaker and the ear piece volume, is it really complicated? where can I find what each field means and the ranges to enter?
I see that you are very knowledgeable and a lot of people come for your advice. If you have time to answer or explain this better, I'll appreciate it...
OFF TOPIC... I haven't tried ur ROM because I don't understand what is 'Kitchen'...
Anyway, great work!!!
Thanks
Here's the one I made awhile ago, posted on here somewhere.
It bumps up the earpiece, speakerphone, and wired headphones.
Starts at stock low volume, and goes well beyond in larger steps than stock stepping up to a much louder sound.

Yeah but the question is will this work with the new ROM 3.35?
yes, I'm using it now.
Just modify the 3.35 audiopara file yourself. Couldn't be easier and takes about 5 min total.
I can't replace the original AudioPara file in the WM Windows folder with the one from the zip file above... probably because its a system file, any idea how can I do this or how can I customize the original to improve the mogul's speaker and earphone???
Thanks

Just extract to the windows directory....don't just try to paste it, it won't let you.
Is there a way to make the BT volume louder in this audiopara file?

I noticed a great improvement in the speaker and earpiece... I don't use bluetooth so can't comment...
When using the Media player I didn't really notice much difference, maybe I'm asking for too much but was this supposed to improve the speaker when using media player or HTC Audio Manager?
well, I've been messing with AudioPara for the past 2 hours.
Seems Bluetooth cant be adjusted there. Neither can media playback through the rear speaker.
In the file it seems that there are 'basic' entries to adjust these, but they dont actually do anything that I can tell.
The ones that actually change the volume have 5 levels to adjust, the 'basic' ones only have one, and they dont seem to actually change anything.
I went ahead and looked at no2chem's nueAudio and his proggie changed the same things I was changing with no effects either.
So at this point it would seem we are stuck with louder volume through the earpiece, speakerphone and wired headphones, all while on the phone. I will continue to investigate.
you can now install my file using a cab file, so its much easier. Its in my original post here...

I have downloaded the AudioPara file to my laptop (for use with an HTC Mogul). What do I do now?
Lost
So not to be stupid, but what do you do next. I have been messing with it for a couple of hours and can't get it to do anything beisides ti saying cannot open or not associated with a file
Hey there folks. I'm looking for some type of script or adb command to over-ride the headphones for every sound when they're plugged in. When using cyanogenmod I found a CM setting, under the sound sub menu, that allows me to over-ride the headphones on particular sounds. This makes me believe there has to be a way to do it for every sound including music and phone calls. Any insight or direction would he appreciated. Thanks

Settings->CM Settings->Sound Settings. I think this is what you might be looking for and it's on all Froyo Vanilla ROMs that are CM based. Check the section titled "Note." It says all of those settings are applied only when headphones are being used. They seem to be what you're looking for. Hope this helps.

I appreciate your response but unfortunately that's what I already do lol with those settings I can enable alarms, notifications, and ringtone. My hope is that since cyanogenmod has those options, there has to be a way to apply that to the few things I still can't hear unless my headphones are in. This would include any/all music apps, hearing who Calls me without having to use speaker phone, and game/app sounds/music. I know my speaker can still play music because one day I was listening to music(with headphones of course!) And got a call. So I unplug my headphones and pick up the call n press speakerphone. Well, after the call when I hit end, I heard a split second of the song I was listening too beforehand on the speaker. That gives me hope that I can eventually overcome this. PS.- none of the headset overide apps in the market work.

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

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

As I found out after clicking on link
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
I have had this problem with the mic volume, while in-call, i sounded too soft on the other line. Barely audible at times. The microphone records great in other apps, but audio gets distorted when capturing video (for example at a live concert), however it is the least of my concern. I used to run bionix 1.3.1 then ran cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1 and now im running Slim ICS 2.8.
I really want to resolve this issue, I have perused through countless threads and have found no solution. Could this be an issue with the kernel? I honestly have no clue what to do. Help me pls! thanks in advance.
I figured it out! So if anyone else has this issue I hope this may do the trick if its relevant.
Since DSP Manager is installed on my phone I figured the answer may lie in there. And.. it did! It was the tuned audio clock setting, it was 'checked' , even though it says it helps with the sound (which is why I linda ignored it before) but turning it off drastically changed my sound when in call. Now I can be Howard clearer. Hope if anyone has this issue it helps or possibly have a similar setting you can set off that says it "helps with the sound"

Now that we have root for our Z3v's... I've been playing around with trying to find/edit the files that control our phones speaker volumes (both in call earpiece volume and speaker phone volume). I don't necessarily need to increase the speaker volume for playing music because most of the time I'm using bluetooth, but I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in that as well.
I'd like to be able to just modify the phones system files rather than use some sort of booster app.
From what I'm been able to find, the file located in /system/etc/ called mixer_paths.xml is what our device uses to control volume parameters. I've seen where other devices have had these types of files modified in order to boost max volumes.
Is this something we can do with our phones? The in call volume, both earpiece and speaker phone are just TOOOO quite for me.
This is about as far as I can comfortably go as I'm not a developer/programmer.
Anyone out there comfortable helping out with this idea? Is it possible.

I think it's almost comical how low the audio levels out of the headphone jack are. I don't know if this can be fixed or what but even playing at full volume it seems too low.

I did flash the sound mod through recovery but it only boosted speaker volumes, not in call volumes. I used the one without Dolby.

Wow so we can flash .zip files in recovery now? Again just making sure, just rooted and there isn't a ton of info out there for our device atm. Thanks in advance
I flashed it in the dual recovery as well. Just make a backup first because the zip they have to take it back to stock isn't for our phone. In other words if you ever want to go back you should wipe & reload the backup. And make sure you don't install the lollipop version.
