I've Searched much about it before thinking open a thread, but I got nothing wich could help me.
Is there a way to boost music volume when using BT Headphones ? I'm on android 4.3 ProBam v4.4.2. tried few kernel ( like boeffla to adjust the sound volume but it doesn't seems to affect BT Sound)
Tried also alot of others version and roms 4.2.2 and 4.1.2 still no good.
the mod wich actually boost a little the volume was Viper4Android. but I got just a "little up" from the level I was.
My question is... is there anything I could do to boost the volume up using BT Headphones ?

There is little you can do about bluetooth volume. Unlike Speaker, Wired headphones etc, these are not limited to the kernel. It is limited by the bluetooth module and it is controlled independently. Whetever you have now, is what you're stuck with pretty much.
in DSP manager on AOSP roms, it's possible with a few tweaks to the EQ, you may be able to simulate a louder volume. People advised me to try things with modified DSP managers. Such as MegaBeats. It increased bass, but didnt give more volume.
Yeah, i was kinda exprectin that.
but yet, thank you guys for your help
This is a fix for the audio skipping when playback starts (audiophiles must have noticed it, while others dont bother ) and audio howling/distortion on full volume.
The audio_hw module is taken from omni, so thanks @rooque for that. And the MTP (acdbs) are mi note's files taken from ivans repo .
Tested working on rr and aicp.
Flash using CWM/TWRP.
Please test and confirm.
Thank You.
Edit: Updated the zip file since it was causing puchier sound in earpiece.
I guess it is to fix audio cracking when in full volume for speaker

Not works on los 14.1,it give no sounds,both speaker and headset
Guide to get rid of audio distortion on CM13 and Lineage OS 14.1
I have told quite a few people in the cm13 thread how to get rid of the audio distortion, I figured it was relevant to enough people that I should make a little guide on how to set it up although it is pretty straightforward.
[Disclaimer] I am not responsible if you manage to break your phone using this guide
What does this guide accomplish? This guide will help you install Viper4Arise which is a wonderful sound mod that I use on any phone or rom. Viper4Arise will allow you to eliminate audio distortion in media playback on your Axon 7 running CM13 or LOS14.1, by lowering the output gain which is not capped properly in these Roms
What does this guide fail to accomplish? This guide will not fix mic issues, in call volume, the left channel being missing on speakers, or any other sound related problem present in CM13 or LOS14.1, however most bugs are gone now in LOS14.1
Now that that's out of the way, lets get to the fun stuff!
Step 1
First thing you want to do is grab the Viper4Arise flashable zip
Download Viper4Arise 2.3.3
however if you want the newest version
Download Viper4Arise 2.4
once you have this you can boot into TWRP and flash it, then reboot into system
Step 1.5
This step is only necessary on the newest builds of lineage OS 14.1
lineage OS does not have root built in. we will download the root addon package from lineageOS
Download root addon
flash this in twrp, it doesnt matter if it is done before or after installing the Viper4Arise package
Step 2
SeLinux must be permissive and by default it is enforcing so we are going to grab this apk and install it
Download SeLinux Switcher
once installed, open the app, allow root access (you may need to enable root in developer options) and set SeLinux to Permissive. if Viper4Arise stops working always check to make sure Selinux is still in permissive as changing it back to enforcing will stop Viper4Arise from working.
Step 3
Next we will configure Viper4Arise to eliminate Audio distortion.
Start by going to the phone speaker and Headset tabs and Switching master power to on
Now press the menu button on the top left and press Driver status. as long as SeLinux is permissive it should say
NEON Enabled: Yes
Enabled: Yes
Status: Normal
the other things are not relevant. if the above message read "No" or "Abnormal" you may not have set SeLinux to permissive, please go back to step 2!
do this twice, once with the Headset tab Selected and once with the Phone Speaker tab selected
There are allot of awesome setting to mess with they can make you audio amazing, I encourage you to try them out. to make the audio distortion go away simply scroll to the bottom and find the "Master Gate (Limiter)" tab. Set the output gain to -10.5 dB on both the Headset and Phone Speaker. this level seems pretty good in my opinion however you may find you prefer a slightly lower or higher level.
That's it! I hope I have helped you guys out, feel free to ask questions or make suggestions on how to improve this guide and be sure to leave Thanks!

This won't make audio playback through the phone speakers stereo again, would it?
Does this work for LineageOS 14.1?

I have only tested it in CM13 as I haven't made the jump. But the audio distortion problem is the same in Lineage OS as CM13.
It will work in Lineage OS.

Nice job worked on LineageOS 14.1.
Thanks for the guide. My YouTube videos are no longer distorted and sound good enough, for not having stereo capability on LOS. However, all of my notifications that come in are still very distorted, is there a fix for this?

Glad the guide helped you! Unfortunately I don't know how to get rid of distortion when notifications come in. I do believe Unjustified Dev said that all audio distortion will be gone in the near future, of course this guide won't be important at that point. At least audio quality isn't really important for notifications...
Alrighty, no big deal. You're right, it isn't a huge problem...Just a little annoying. I may have to flash back to stock, the main reason most people bought this phone was for the speakers....And I'm starting to miss the immersive sound that I had from stock

Yeah the left and right channel bug really degrades the speaker experience... And weird sounding notifications is annoying. I listen to lots of music but always with headphones or with an aux in the car so I don't really care too much...
Hijacking this thread to ask specifically. I do not care about my speakers I literally only use Headphones.
Is media with headphones played via the AK DAC? Is the quality as good as "super" mode on the stock ROM ? (Again, asking for Media Playback with headphones!)
Question, is the audio on LOS 14.1 with speakers good enough to listen to podcasts and some music with this mod?
Doesnt work anymore on LineageOS 14.1 latest version. I cant change back to permissive.

You need root to use SeLinux mode changer. check the OP I updated how to get root.

I use headphones all the time. I love it. If you are worried about the quality compared to stock I believe you will not be disappointed. Of course I am not an audio expert and do not have the means to compare the quality side by side. I am not sure if the HiFi DAC is used, that is more of a general lineage os question.

The speakers are not as good as stock, the mod works perfectly but I believe only right channel is played. Its a problem that the lineage os devs have to fix. It is good for listening to pretty Mich anything, oy won't have distortion or anything

Yes works great for podcasts.
This mod enables the Earpiece speaker to be used at the same time with the main rear speaker when using listening to music, and watching videos etc...
Updated
Now TRUE STEREO with Earpiece playing the LEFT channel and rear speaker playing the RIGHT channel. Test with app of your choice.

To install open the zip file and extract the "default_gain.conf" file and copy it to "/system/etc/default_gain.conf" using your preferred method.
Then set permissions to rw-r-r or 0644 ( e.g "chmod 0644 /system/etc/default_gain.conf" ) and REBOOT your device.
Volume levels are pushed to maximum possible without distortion with EQ on Earpiece speaker to remove low frequencies. Good luck.
Works on my SM-910K running MarshMallow 6.0.1.
WARNING!!!
THIS HAS ONLY BEEN TESTED ON THE DEVICE MENTIONED ABOVE. MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR DEFAULT "default_gain.conf" FILE BEFORE INSTALLING THE NEW ONE.
(E.g "adb pull /system/etc/default_gain.conf [safe location here]" or "adb shell cp /system/etc/default_gain.conf /sdcard/default_gain.conf.bak" )
To be SAFE DO a NANDroid backup in Recovery.
Happy modding.
NOTE:
If you cannot find "/system/etc/default_gain.conf" file on your device then this MOD will NOT WORK for you. If that is the case you can try the other surround mods for other variants of the Note 4. This has only been tested to work on the N910K.
I created this one because the mods for the other variants didn't work on my phone since it uses the "default_gain.conf" file instead of the 'normal' "mixer_paths.xml" file.

Tried it on my N910F running 6.0.1 and seems like it works,but need to cover the main speaker to hear anything from the earpiece.

If there was a quick ON/OFF toggle you would notice that it makes quite a difference than with it turned off completely. Especially when you receive a notification etc... with your phone lying on a flat surface.
I haven't yet figured out how to manipulate the EQ settings for the front earpiece so that it only outputs mid-treble range without any bass.
Once I do, I'll be able to boost the volume without causing distortion. Otherwise it might damage the earpiece.
Where shoud I found that toogle ?
Actually I didn't find a "default_gain.conf" file in etc,so I just simply copied the one from your mod zip.

If you didn't find a "default_gain.conf" file then the mod definitely won't work. It's not working for you.
Would this work on N910U?
It works on the 910C running Nemesis
Good job OP, this mod on 910C it is been hit and miss with a lot of distortion. This is the best implementation I have used. ?
Finaly N910c has this mod
It is working. Thank you very much :highfive::highfive:

Hi again,
After update to erobotrom v1.2, I have the same problem - microphone stop working. Somebody have the original mixer_path and default_gain or the other solution for this problem. Thx.
It's that quiet static sound or white noise like a fm turned on without playing a post or an old tv without signal. It's noticeable when you plug in your earphones/headphones and navigate on your phone. It appears in music too.
Is there any method to get rid of it ? Idk, some sound mod tweaks ?
yup, it happens everytime earphones are plugged in at lower volume, you can hear it.. so far haven't found anything thing that could fix it..
Shox audio mod used to slove my problem
If you have compatibility issues, then try Ainur Sauron

I used it as well and it worked pretty good. But after switching to Agni kernel I have not felt the need to flash any audio mod. At least I am satisfied with the sound quality.
