I have really low mic volume on calls, people cannot hear me. I have read of lines you can edit in buldprop for other phones to increase mic volume. Has anyone else had this issue, and knows a solution?
Easiest way to don't mess with this is using special app that can modify it, maybe try one of them. I think the best way i using boeffla kernel as it has much more options aswell
Galaxy volume modifier, but you'll need to manually set the permissions for the volume file afterwards, requires root.

Is anyone else having a microphone low volume issue? A lot of people tell me that my voice is hard to hear. It's not a hardware problem, because the microphone it works just fine testing it using the service menu (*#*#7378423#*#* ) or using it with apps. And the problem it's getting worse if I use a custom firmware or kernel.
I suppose there must be a way to adjust the microphone level... There is anyone who knows where I should search? A file or something from the system folder, where a value can be changed?
Thanks.
Hmm, strange.
Can you try with a headset or hands free and use its microphone instead just to see if there's any difference?

or check if the noise suppression turned on/off in dial settings

I have exactly the same problem with my Xperia Active. Testing the secondary microphone in servece test it sounds better than the primary. Swithing off the noise reduction makes it a bit better, but still lacks of normal volume. I would appreciate any advise to solve it?
Any fix availible for st15i?
Any custom rom i used has the low microphone bug :/
This problem has been talked about some time, but I'm not able to find a real solution:
I'm using CM9 with Siyah-kernel. When I use a wired headset, the in-call volume is extremly low. Even at max I cannot understand the other party when I'm outside.
Now, some solutions have been proposed:
* Use STweaks to boost headset volume. That works but also increases the music volume. If I boost it enough so that in-call volume is good, music volume gets hard to control.
* Use the service menu. On my phone I cannot access the audio menu. As I understand, I could flash a different modem (e.g. XXKI3). Can anyone tell me where to download it? All links I found were dead. And anyhow, as I understand these settings are reset on boot. So it's not really a permanent solution.
Is there anything else someone could think of?
I'd really appreciate any ideas.
Best regards
Ole
Anyone know a way to define the output for the volume levels? Basically when you turn the volume from 0 to the first bump up (I.e. supposed to be very quiet), I find it to be uncommonly loud. Any thoughts?

I am curious about this as well. Seems to be more noticeable when streaming video from the web browser.
I've noticed this also. Since all the ROMs so far are bases off of stock, it has affected each ROM I try as well
I've tried lowering sound in equalizer and looking for quiet apps, but not-so-shockingly no one wants an app to make their phone quieter, only louder. As for now, I either connect to a Bluetooth speaker and play that audio quietly or headphones.
I haven't tested this myself yet (but I will soon because it's such a problem) but I've heard that editing the build.prop (relatively easy to do) can adjust the volume levels. There's another thread somewhere around here that discusses doing this. I'll post back if/when I get it to work.
i used to complain how speakers was low on my previous phones,But dna it super loud on low.Like this beast of a phone have bose built in.
Same problem here. The lowest ringer volume level is still way too loud for work.
And with Sony xloud you can make it louder

I also noticed this problem. The first bump of volume is way too loud. Hopefully someo f the custom roms can tweak this to be more reasonable.
When.i.plug a.audio.jack.the audio level is reduce.
Do you know how.to.incresase the parameters without install a.new.rom, kernel, and without a S3 rooted ?
Thanks

Only with the look? Very easy question!!!
here's the solution
1. do you have a i9300 or i9100?
2. this is not where questions go, hit "report" and ask for it to be moved.
It is a safe function. It is for not damage your ears. If you listen the audio with the original earphones or a similiar earphones, there isn't be a problem, if you use a bigger earphones. You could listen the audio more low because, those bigger earphones needs more power. I don't know if I explain me.
Boeffla sound tweaks .

I have a i9100 rooted. And i use voodoo.louder apk.
For the.i9300 (used for my job) it's cant be rooted and i'm looking for how i can change the setup of the phone.
I know that make a protection. but i want to change it.
I'm going to ask for change this post sections.
Thanks
Try this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TEST.android.lvh&hl=en
There are some options for rooted users but the app does not need root to work.
Works on speaker, headset and bluetooth. It gives you an option of a simple EQ or a
very easy volume boost and allows you to set how much amplification you want.
I am using it right now in my I9300 with custom rom so it should work for you. It is not
however compatible with most other sound mods such as Acid which you should not have
anyway since you are not rooted.
You could try this. Lets you specify media volume when something is inserted into the jack

Thanks galactus it is ok.
I solved myproblem.
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.

I'm using the beast audio mod as well. Good stuff.

This mod says lollipop only, does it run on the vzw z3v?

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.

Does this mod increase speaker volume in general? Like listening to music?
