I've found this issue with several roms. Recently I had PDACornerPro V22 on my TyTN and the sound was much smoother and clearer when talking on the phone. Now I've got V23, and it's like it's distorted by loudness, as if you where playing music on a stereo way too loud for what the speakers can handle.
It's not that it is much louder, just distorted as if it were. Had the same issue with PDAViet's ROMS in the past... Lowering sound volume to the lowest setting while on the phone does not help, it gets lower but still sounds terrible. Anyone got any ideas?

go to /windows/startup/ and remove "setacusticperamiter" (set acoustic peramiter) soft rest, and it should be better, if not, there was some reg edits someone did to fix it, ill find them for you.

I'd be very happy if you could find those reg tweaks! SetAcousticParam does not exist in Windows\StartUp folder. Only "poutlook.lnk".

Thanks alot! Speedy service i may say! Will try it.
I don't understand. What kind of value types is it? Strings? Binaries?
Ok I got it, but it doesn't make a difference. Still screaming loud. Even after soft-reset. This is so annoying. I know it's rom related since PDACornerPro v22 had great smooth sound. And on another fact, my mother has the exact same phone as I but running official ROM, and her phone sounds great too.
Got any more ideas?

I dont get it, I have the same problem. it looks like 'SetAcousticParam' is the problem so removal should fix it. The post that you linked to indicates installing 'SetAcousticParam' unless I'm reading it wrong!

ive noticed on some roms the loudspeaker is attacked and made really quiet is there a reg edit to make it louder?
ie for ringtones
If the ROM have WOW SRS, disable it, it should restore volume level.
hi i done that already thanks for the reply
and as for bloody SRSwow shud be more like SRScr*p but still cud do with being a tad louder
i think i might have cracked it hklm/drivers/builtin/wavedev/

What did you change in the registry then? Nice to see the location but what did you add / remove?????
Finding a ROM that enables setacousticparam during initial boot up increases the speaker volume a lot. I dont think SRS WOW does any good for speaker, it does a great job for head phones though!
Yeah, most of the DVH roms have setacousticparam during initial boot up and it makes a difference!
Im quite sure CRC's roms also have that.
Im currently using the new energy rom and I have used the audiopara. I just want to know if theres any other way to make the touch pro 2 louder because I feel that the TP2 can be louder
-Thanks

before I tried audiopara i used a program from warlock called increase volume 20% and it made it so loud that when i played music over the speakerphone it was too loud. I think that any louder would start too distort. I did find though that it increased the volume in the earpiece as well and for a while i had bad sound on phone calls. I uninstalled and installed audiopara but it didnt seem to do anything. I then reinstalled the increase volume 20% from warlock and the sound from the earpiece during phone calls seems fine. Try it and see what happens. I found the cab here on xda. Let me know your experience.
i see, I will test the warlock program out. Can you send me a link, or a forum that u found it in?

Hello,
I installed ViPER4Android Audio Effects in the effort to make my phone speaker louder, and, perhaps, sounds better.
However, after installation, I played around with all the different settings.
And for the life of me, I can't get it to sound anything decent. In fact, stock sounded much better, sans loudness.
Please kindly share your settings, I would like to mimic them.
Thank you.

Viper 4 Android is really geared for headphone & IEM users TBH. for the regular speakers it just crackles and makes the experience worse

No crackle on my notesss or tabsss. In fact sounds great!
I mainly just use Viper for my headphones but when I turned it on for the speaker, I didn't hear any crackle. As far as settings, I just play with it until it sounds good for me.
I love my tab S and maybe this is the best screen I've seen my whole life.
But one thing bothers me that, I've been using the s and note devices from past 3 years, one thing I always did was Boost the sound for Speaker and the Headphone in the Mixer paths xml file.
I've searched this tab for a similar file and have got absolutely nothing.
Any good developer please help me out, if you can find that for it would be a great help

You could install my ROM and use the DSP manager, it also uses mixerpaths though a more serious answer is look at the comments it should point u in the right direction.

I was just searching but couldn't find the right direction, actually M reluctant to move to Cm I don't like touchwiz but I want a fully functional stock ROM, saw the comments section couldn't make it what were you telling my friend
Can you please consider me a noob and help me out? :angel:
you can edit default_gain in system/etc
I thought xml edit only applied to CM/AOSP/GPe roms.
OP, did this end up working out for you?

I've attached some screen shots to what you need to modify to increase your external speakers along with headphones.
You'll need Root Explorer or equivalent.

It's best to raise the digital volume it sounds less distorted ...my setting are +12 to all digital volumes and sounds great
Just to to clarify, you only need to raise the digital volume? I'm going to give it a shot.

I have tried that and multiple others. Some work well, some dont.
None have given me what I am looking for which it the ability to boost things like system volume, notification volume, etc. Still looking for a way to do that.
The best that I can accomplish is boosting media volume via a music or video player. If that is all you are looking for then the equalizer and bass booster will work fine.
I've noticed this for a while and it's driving me nuts. For whatever reason the audio comes out about 80/20 with 80% of the sound on the right side. I've tested with multiple headphones and LG Tone+ Bluetooth headphones. I've also used multiple audio apps including a youtube video that's made to test sound from right/left speakers. Any ideas? I'm running Viper as my daily driver but also have installed Fluent's Lollipop rom via MultiROM and it's the exact same. If it was just headphones I'd think it was something with the connection but it's also an issue with bluetooth. I thought maybe I could just find an app to adjust the balance but I can't find any app that adjusts left/right balance either.
Thanks for any input!

Than why post ? Really.....Post the link or don't post at all !
What kind of attitude is that, like all other posts where you seem to offer help but actually post nothing but random text. Making up things that the OP "might" want to do to his phone.
It comes to my conclusion that you have a very strange way of thinking/posting.
I hope you will at least consider to offer true help and post what you actually know.
Have a nice day.

Agreed!
I updated my kernel to one that works with fauxsound and was able to bump up the left side when using headphones so it sounds better via headphones but no change via bluetooth. Can't seem to find an app that edits bluetooth left/right gain... Still doesn't make sense to me why my phone would have this issue with both bluetooth and regular headphones. Very odd!
UniversalKID said:

And no some devices do not have it. It's either a software or a hardware problem of any kind and should not be there. When it can be changed via audio enhancing software it's fine if the user likes that solution too.
A device that comes with this price "should" be flawless.

Thanks for the responses. I'm not sure when this issue started but it hasn't always been that way. Viper4Android seems to be the best solution I can find currently as you can change the left/right values via Channel Panning for bluetooth and headphones (0.9:0.1 seems best).
I doubt it's software since I've tried multiple kernels/roms and even reflashed firmware this morning. If it really is hardware though I'm not familiar with the process to get a replacement under warranty. Might need to look into that I guess.
I think maybe when Sprint releases lollipop I'll look into running a RUU and see if that fixes the issue. I'm s-off so shouldn't be a problem doing a RUU I don't think.

Agree, since your version has an RUU, run it. If that doesn't fix it, might be a hardware issue.
