Hello guys
I wanted to know if there is a MOD for our smartphone to enable stereo sound:
earpiece and speaker simultaneously for better sound.
Thanks
Perhaps the One Plus 3 mod for mono stereo could work. I downloaded it from OPO3 xda subforum but have not tested it since I am running stock non-root firmware
Take a look here, its the first file:

Already tested, it does not work
I've also tried some things but on stock firmware doesn't seem to work.
I went to the Le Pro 3 forum on XDA and asked for their sound mixer file. I am attaching it here for future reference.
Any news for the mod?
Has anyone gotten stereo sound on the phone?
how is it possible to get stereo mode on a non-stereo device? u have only one speaker

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 also would like to know how to increase the volumes
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've been using the Sound Mod from Z3 Development version 3.3 with Dolby Digital Plus (I think it has beast audio) & the volume on the headphones is so loud at the second click up. They even have a way to go back to stock.

Sorry to dredge up an old thread.... You say you're using the sound mod. Did you flash that in recovery?
Checking this out first, just got root today and don't want a shiny new paperweight anytime soon

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.

stefss: I would suggest if you do not know about modding/rooting/unlocking/etc., then stay away from these methods as you may brick your device (unusable). These are for advanced users.
Did you try checking the audio settings (Settings > Sound & Vibration > Audio settings). Try toggling the Mi Sound Enhancer switch (by the way, I observed that turning this switch on reduces the audio quality and changes the tone; better to turn this off).
There could be many reasons why you are hearing a buzzing sound:
1. Your earphone drivers might be slightly damaged. This is the most common reason (I too hear a buzzing sound on my earphones). Try using the same earphones with other devices to confirm if the cause is earphones.
2. Try playing the audio track from Play Music and toggle the equalizer settings. (setting the frequency bars to extreme values is another cause for a buzzing sound). Change media players and again check for the quality.
If you have tried the above and still hear the buzzing sound, then consider exchanging the piece if it is under warranty.
Note: If you try to mod/root/etc. your phone, you will void it's warranty so be careful.
I try with 3 new earphones, everyone is buzzing.
Audio settings is ok. Phone is new, this is reason why i think is good.
Every media player including youtube is buzzing..
But when i put headphones everythink is ok.

Hi All. The sound is fixed as you know but not on all ROM. So i've made a Fix zip. Tried on US and G version.
Edit: working on A2017 (Chinese version)
IMPORTANT: I'm not responsible for anything which could be happen. I suggest to make a backup from TWRP.
First of all i didn't fix it. Thanks @Unjustified Dev , @DrakenFX and Anynomous Dev

Thanks for that.
Do correct me if I'm wrong, but this still does not make use of the AKM DAC, right? This still uses the Qualcomm inbuilt DAC?
Thanks in any case!

It's wired for it's AKM DAC the issue was we were dependent on ZTE crappy patch that made us bypass and force audio on. Now the amplifier HAL correctly calls to the NXP driver to properly calibrate and initialize audio in all usecases. It's more so the developer is trying to recreate how stock handles stuff like voice speaker, speaker reversing, mono + stereo, etc.

How was this fix done exactly? Was it just fiddling with some configuration files or did you have to completely rewrite the way android works the audio so it calls the driver correctly? And if so, is it the same way Dolby does? I'm so curious how you guys and the anonymous dev managed to fix it
Also, I can't wait for this to upload. This + LOS based roms and this phone would be absolutely perfect. Too bad it's not mainstream enough to get more attention
If we flash this, will it cause any issues once it's officially merged into LOS and we update LOS on the phone?

Has nothing to do with dolby. There's a file libtfa9890.so stock audio hal calls this file does it's magic. On lineage we don't have the amp source which is packed into the audio hal on stock. We use an amplifier hal all this hal does it try to produce whatever the heck the stock audio hal did when it loaded libtfa9890.so. It basically allows you to instrument custom calls without touching the audio hal of the ROM therefore keeping it clean. ZTE gave us a patch that force loaded libtfa9890 and immediately said ignore all cases turn on the speaker. What the dev did is rewrite the patch to properly call all functions such as calibrate, set mode , speaker on , speaker off ,etc. This way we don't just force speaker we actually start saying if in call handle the speakers this way. If music is playing handle them this way. We don't just say if need sound ramp up the amp and make sound.

Has anyone who flashed it have a decrease in system performance?

Just installed this fix.
It works, it works, Hallelujah!.
Ya so this zip works on the Chinese version, so you can update the op
Also passed the stereo test. Left and right channels are both working independently and awesomely.
The distortion has nearly disappeared.
Calls work.
Thanks to all the devs especially unjustified dev and anonymous dev.
Thanks also to drakenfx and westd.
Also now that patch 3 is out, can we expect another zip in the future!

Genius. Didn't mean to say Dolby, meant zte I had Dolby Atmos on the mind. But if it's nothing to do with Dolby, how come they didn't release the source for a direct fix instead of releasing a half assed patch for devs to work with? Then there wasn't be an issue of it being closed or open source

What's the improvement of V3 over V2 ?
PS : THX to every1 involved who made this possible !
It is using front earpiece for media playback. I tried to gain this effect by using SoundAbout, but when i turned media on earpiece there was no sound from speaker, it was unable to use earpiece/speaker at the same time. It will be great if somebody port such mod to our device Waiting for your anwsers, guys.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/themes/audio-mod-hardware-based-best-audio-t3598455
This is for Snapdragon
if you've only taken a view over the threads section of this device you would've noticed that there are already 2 mods regarding your desire, one which is mine, forgotten, based only on earpiece playback, and the other, still actively developed, which has more features and improvements. Good luck flashing.
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.

v1 -> Initial Dual Speaker Mod
v2 -> Upgrade to true stereo
v3 -> Fix for audio leak through earpiece while Headphone connected
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?

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. ?
