I am using the Eragon rom. It's a great rom with good battery life however the sound when the ringtones sound sound very tinny and horrible. I tried the official rom and the same thing. Eragon has apparently got a beats mod to improve this but I see no improvement. Is there any tips for this.?
Go to settings --> Sound & notification --> Sound enhancement --> Disable everything
Go to Dolby Atmos --> disable it
Go to Viper4Android --> Phone Speaker --> enable Master Power --> enable Speaker Optimization
Everyone likes a different sound. In my opinion this seems to be a neutral sound with slight improvement through Viper4Android.
You could also test Dolby Atmos --> enable Music --> choose Intelligent Equalizer Rich
Or you could just adjust the equalizer in Viper4Android.
In conclusion the speaker is just a cheap mono speaker and you won't get the perfect sound out of it. This cannot be fixed via software.
Or maybe your speaker has a malfunction and you should let elephone repair it.
thanks for the reply, just today the sound seems ok. it seemed to do this last time i done a full wipe, needs 5 days to settle down. i have done your suggestions anyway and see if there is further improvement. it is the bass that the speaker is badly missing but i dont think that youll get it from a phone speaker.

Hi, is possible increase the volume of ringtones and notifications with the service menù?
Have you turned on the xLoud option under the normal settings option?
Settings -> Sound -> Sound Enhancements. Select the Settings tab at the top and turn on xLoud. Makes a big difference.

It's not going to be VERY loud due to the waterproofing of the phone.

If you have root you can try Viper4Android:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
It boosts volume as well as quality (you have to make a balance though or you could blow your speakers from too much of a boost)

Viper4Android doesn't actually boost the Max volume of the speakers. I've tested it with Xloud on and when i change things in Viper4Android there is absolutely no difference until you lower the volume. For example, putting the volume at 50% will be louder with Viper4Android then without.
Max all the equalizer settings then turn off Clear Audio and Dynamic Audio. Clarity will be lower but the volume will be higher.

Dear,
i had Samsung galaxy s5 , which has only 1 rear speaker , and the sound was much louder than this ! , if people have done boosting Tweaks with Root , then Sony Should Push an Update .
phone calls ringing Volume & Notifications , how come you have Stereo Speakers & when your phone rings , one speaker is working !!! that's really *****
Dear,
is there a way that i can boost the volume ( while Ringing , Notifications , playing videos & music ) ?
sound is clear but very low !! most of the phones even the one that has one speaker only have better sound in Terms of loudness .
hopefully Sony can push an update and get this fixed ( i said to get fixed because its a bug not an option )

Again, the speakers won't be very loud because of the waterproofing. Besides, there's a way to boost your audio by a little bit. Check out viper4android or the sound boost by olokos.

Try Viper4Android. It helped me boost the speaker a lot and it also improves quality. Try not using compatibility mode (it doesn't really work).

Thanks a lot , what about non-rooted devices?
Hello,
I have recently replaced the backcover of my Xperia Z2
and because i made a mistake one speaker is broken now. Stereo does not work. This ist not a huge problem for me but after the 6.0 Update (i am running eXistenZ 5.0.0) the Ringtone Volume is way lower than the Volume of the same mp3 file player as when played music with the music app. It is so low that i am not able to hear it with all the enviromental noise. This is apparently not a bug but rather a protection from Sony to not harm you wars if someone would call you during a call where you had your phone close to your ears. I am wondering if a custom tom would fix this problem. I tried to boost the volume of the mp3 with audacity and enabeld ClearAudio+ in the settings but after boosting it wasn't really louder , just more distorted. I even tried it with a tasker task to play my Ringtone as a music but the voulme wasn't increased. Is there any rom to fix this. I have twrp installed so installing a rom would not be a problem.
With kind regards

Installing LOS 15 fixed the problem

Don't know whether this will work on your Android OS version:
Tap Settings > Sound & notification, then tap Audio Effects at the very top of the screen. (Yes, that's actually a button, not a heading.)
Make sure the Audio Effects switch is on, then go ahead and touch those five levels, or tap the Equalizer drop-down to pick a preset.
If your device is hooked up to wired stereo speakers, tap the Wired Stereo tab to choose an Effects Profile (such as "3D stereo," "home theater," "live stage," and so on) or a Surround setting (Live, Wide, or Ambient).
Audio effects option is not available in sound and notifications menu.
@gul610
If you're on Android 4.4+ then try Equalizer FX, is has a loudness enhancer.
Other equalizer apps that come with a loudness enhancer exist, too. GIYF ...
I find I can't lower the notification volume and ringtone volume low enough.
Does anyone know how to change the volume steps? I have sound assistant but it only works for media volume...
I'm rooted if it helps and I've tried the AOSP based rom solution of changing the build prop but with no success.
Thanks for any help!
Have you tried "sound assistant" app. It is from Samsung and has function you are looking for.

Ah my bad, don't know how I missed it. It is possible in two ways:
01- Get a custom kernel with volume modification support. I use a Galaxy S7edge with Surround sound, this makes the sound loud and more immersed but it has a drawback. The low threshold of volume is too high same as yours. I usually have a problem with the in-call earpiece audio which is too loud for me. I use MoroKernel and luckily a recent update brought the feature of MoroSound providing fine control over gains of 2-microphones, earpiece, and main speaker. You can also look for a kernel with such features for your device.
02- Manually modifying the sound configuration files. That is a bit difficult but good research with a bit of experimenting will eventually get you there.

Any chance you know how to mod the sound config files on an S21? Unfortunately there are no custom kernels yet for the Exynos version

Yes, go to /etc/mixer-gains.xml and edit it. Drawback is your device entire volume range will be affected like for media and stuff. One more way and probably the more practical one just hit me.
Find your ringtone and notification tone from /system/media/audio/ or download them from google and use a software like Audacity or Adobe Audition to reduce their volume.
You reduce your phone's volume to the lowest and match pc's volume with it. Then reduce the audio gain in the software until you feel comfortable with it. Export it and use it.
For anyone interested. My solution ended up being the following, with my end goal being too optimize my audio with Dolby and have the volume still be lower (but optimized) on the phone speaker.
I tried a ton of different apps, a few magisk volume steps modules, ViperFX with Dolby and finally I found a good solution.
Turn off the default Dolby stuff on the phone.
Install Dolby Atmos ZTE A2019 PRO for magisk (google it and find it on GitHub).
Reboot.
Install JamesDSP from ZackPTG5's website.
Reboot.
Install Audio Modification library to use Dolby and JamesDSP at the same time.
Reboot.
Create a custom equalizer in Dolby and try max things out as much as possible with it still sounding great.
Open JamesDSP, go to Speaker, set limiter threshold to -5, go to post gain and set it to -10. Turn on the master switch. Leave everything else unless you want to change any Bluetooth or headphone settings. Hide the persistent JamesDSP notification.
Reboot.
Install Audio Compatibility module with all the recommended settings.
Reboot.
Result, Dolby Atmos handles all the audio, increases the volume, applies optimizations system wide. However because volume steps are tricky to change on this phone we are stuck with the phone speaker volume being too loud even on the lowest setting. JamesDSP lowers the volume to the built-in speakers but we still get the Atmos experience we want. Everything else I assume you want to be louder anyway, like Bluetooth and headphones.
Audio Modification Library makes James and Dolby work together.
Audio Compatibility Patch fixes some issues with certain apps not using the sound mods.
Success! You get Dolby Atmos everywhere, but it doesn't max out the phone speaker volume, but it will still max out everything else. Oh and you can also change whatever other settings you want in JamesDSP.
