Does anybody know of a dvd to mp4 converter that will allow me to increase audio levels?
The desire's external speaker is lacking quite a bit in terms of audio quality and loudness and films I have previously converted to mp4 via handbreak, although looking very good, are a bit on the quite side though the external speaker with max volume selected. I know the desire is capable of playing media slightly louder as most YouTube videos playback at a higher volume.
In the past, I have downloaded and tested lots of dvd converters for best playback on the HD2 but uninstalled them all as I found Handbrake to be the best for the HD2. I know that at least one of them did allow you to adjust the audio level but I can’t find it again.
The Desire has vey low media audio playback volume compaired to the HD2 so I need the audio volume level to be a bit higher.
Cheers
Jason
Can HandBrake's DRC (Dynamic Range Control) help you out at all? You probably need to normalize rather than just boost (or maybe compress and boost) otherwise you'd get clipping/distortion.

Thanks for the reply Rob, I have tried setting the DRC to 2.5 but it doesn't seem to make any differance.
I just wish I could get these files to playback at the same level as most Youtube videos playback.
Hi there, fellows HOX users,
There were several topics about HOX's poor audio quality when capturing video or recording through voice apps, but still, there weren't any solutions how to solve the lack of frequencies down below ~100-200hz.
I have experience working with sound production, recordings, so I know that these limitations are only made by software. In that case, there must be some kind of solution to improve audio recording quality and enjoy HOX at 100%.
I tried editing srs_global.cfg (found in /system/etc/soundimage) (there was a guy who tried to improve the sound of the phone's loudspeaker and he kinda managed to do it by editing the file), by changing high-pass filter frequency in every "device"
//BLOCK: (srs_hpf_0) HiPass - Device 0
//=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
srs_hpf_0:hipass_order = 4 // Filter Order -
srs_hpf_0:hipass_frequency = 60 // Filter Frequency -
srs_hpf_0:hipass_is32bit = 1 // Filter Precision (16bit when 0) -
srs_hpf_0:hipass_skip = 1 // Skips High Pass Filter when true - toggle

but there aren't any results.
I don't really understand the types of devices and that they do (WOWHD, TruEQ, CSHP and so on).
Maybe there is any other cfg files who process audio input, because it's the same high-pass filter when recording on internal mic and with external 3.5mm mic.
Let's try to solve this problem everybody, because, as HTC support said
HTC is not designed for capturing things in loud environments

Don't mess with HPF, REALLY DON'T!
I have been experimenting with SRS trumedia 51 and music, HPF messes up when enabled!
these settings you have posted are from SRS_global which won't really do much, install musicBox and you can get SRS working...
There is a reason why you sould not enable HPF without know what values are right, I tried this and it made a mini explosion noise (a sqeek then a loud POP) when starting audio, I highly recommed you do not mess with it. Anyways, SRS will NOT do anything with audio recording, your best place to find audio recording values are in the media_profiles.xml in /system/etc
SRS has nothing at all to do with recording audio, only to output the SRS effect.
I hope this info helps
WOWHD is SRS WOWHD, this is a sound effect which enables a true surround sound experience.
TruEQ is SRS's native EQ settings, not much to say here...
CSHP is SRS CS Headphone. Or as I would like to call it, Dolby Digital 5.1 (Because it IS the exact same effect) (CSHP is only used in srs_truemedia_51) (HTC Enhancer uses this file)
Thank's for your answer.
I can't understand, how nobody is interested in improving audio recording quality, when it's obvious that it's a software limitation thing.
We have an almost perfect phone with good camera, but we can't fully enjoy watching and LISTENING recorded videos, because some "clever" people in HTC decided that it's normal to high-pass the mic and put a compressor on it, without any gain control - in result we have a tragic audio from loud concerts and even LOUD voice conversations (where people are sceaming a little bit).
Maybe someone has a solution?
Maybe HTC will offer switching to a ****ty iphone, which has almost perfect audio recording quality (for a phone)?!

TIP #1:
If your G2 stock earbuds fit your ear canals really well, see if they fit on your other earphones!
I tried these G2 ear buds on my ie-80 in-ears and i can honestly say they give the best seal i have had in 7 months since getting these earphones!
The G2 buds have an abnormally large hole diameter which allows alot more high/mid range through than my previous sets. Stoked!
TIP #2:
Clean your in-ear headphones regularly, scotch tape works great!
Pull off the earbuds and carefully dab (do not rub) each the earphone housing speaker grills repeatedly with sticky part of the scotch tape to remove any wax/dirt buildup.
Repeat this once every 1 - 2 weeks to ensure longer life/good sound of your earphones.
If possible store your in-ears in a clean container/sealed carry pouch so they do not collect dust/lint/dirt from your pockets.
Thanks for the mod. Tested a FLAC song with stock music player on speakers. Max volume and no distortion.

Great to hear!
On a note of personal note, i had viper4android installed on my LG G2 but with these modifications,
i ended up uninstalling it as i was primarily using it for volume boost purposes as opposed to signal shaping/eq-ing.
I also found that viper4android would work randomly with some files but not others.
IMO Volume boosting should work consistently at all times, across the board.
From the purist/consistency train of thought this volume mod will give you consistent volume boosting and more power to your headphones (fuller sound) without altering/degrading the already superb audio signal, or adding digital noise.
That being said, viper4android is a great app for shaping the sound signature, which is what it is primarily designed for.
For me, "the closer to the original source, the better"
Much improved sound. Thanks.

This is an external Speaker and Headphone Volume level modification.
It is what I feel "should have been" the stock "happy medium" audio levels for the LG G2.
The DAC audio quality coming from the LG G2 is excellent.
This modification brings the listening sweet spot down to 50% volume level instead of the 80-90% volume range at stock.
Stock levels did not push test headphones as well.
Benefits:
- Removes the need for 3rd party audio VOLUME BOOST apps
- Does not alter DAC raw audio signal quality
- Provides optimized signal drive for higher ohm headphones
- Improved audio fullness
- Improved low end at optimal listening levels

Permissions should not make a difference in this case, however you can set them to rw~r~~r~~ for the file as shook mentioned using root explorer.
Mine are currently set to rw~rw~r~~ and there is no difference in performance.

Really.
Well not giving thanks where its due, is even more lame, not to mention it is Thanksgiving today after all..
1. For what its worth i stumbled on this file in my G2 looking through sys etc files as a result of modding my note 2 last year in similar fashion, when i was looking for volume boosting without 3rd party apps at the time.
2. I have spent time testing to ensure i get the levels right on a fair range of equipment, and i feel others should be entitled the chance to benefit from this as well.
3. That thread that i ended up finding (and linking out of courtesy regardless) is pretty convoluted and a bit of a mess, labelled ATT (i am on Bell and this is a universal fix, not just ATT), and realistically only addresses speaker volume.
4. I have provided a working tested version of the file that G2 owners can use if they choose; not everyone is comfortable/has time/patience to edit/test settings in order to enjoy the untapped potential their phones have to offer.
5. I was in actuality not soliciting (seeing as we are NOT selling anything here), but making a factual observation through my thanks post, and the same applies to all positive dev/mod work.
You're welcome.
thanks, audio seems improved and much higher.
maybe a bit too high.. I can't set volume up to middle.

The version i posted on this thread works fine with no issues.
I have tested the scenarios detailed in your post using 2 different cell phone lines, calling my g2 from another cell, and vice versa.
Both with speaker mode enabled/disabled, and with/without headphones.
Mic works fine in both cases for me, no issues here on my Bell version G2.
I do not currently have a pair of headphones with microphone built in to test that format though, if anyone else can test that would be great.
Please clarify carrier, whether phone is stock or not,whether has he done any file edits after the fact, etc.

--------------------------------------
LG G2 D802 (International vers.) rooted
Arkamys is an audio enhancement from a well known car audio manufacturer
Increase the maximum volume without distortion
Superior audio rendering with no hardware changes (suitable QC only!)
Clearer, crisper sound for music and speech
Higher volume and deeper basses
*How to install?
Just download the zip and flash it through recovery
*How to uninstall?
I suggest you to do a nandbackup in recovery at this time
(maybe later i'll make an uninstaller script)
*How to change effects presets?
At this point there is no way to change the presets
*What version of sense/android/whatever do i need?
This will work for other HTC's, and probably other smartphones with Qualcomm.
Tested on MM ICE10 port for m9 made by Golv and Ice team (should work on lolli as well)
FOR ALL OF THOSE "SOUNDMODDERS" - YOU ARE STRICTLY NOT ALLOWED TO USE THIS PORT IN YOUR "MODS"!
feedback anyone?
Great quality - both on headphones and built-in speakers. I will check later today how it performs in my car
will install it on my OP3 and see how it goes
---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------
okay i installed it on the OP3
tested with my HTC in-ear buds:
1- I can confirm that the bass is deeper!
2- Overall better sound output with better mids and highs with a little bit soundstage widening
3- No volume boost as far as i am concerned
tested with Anker Sports Soundbuds:
1- I sense more like volume leveler effect here, which makes the sound louder in a "dynamic" way, albeit it is slightly felt
2- Overall better sound output (not that sure about that one) placebo
more in depth reviewing tomorrow when connecting the phone to my sub-woofer set (11 watts 2.1 ch Genius one)
This is just a quick "review"
Plus, I use my Sub-Woofer set way more than the in-ear buds or the bluetooth buds even
I tried this mod hooked up direct to my Chevy truck..it was too me like turning off h/k and nothing else..but like I set it's a Chevy..soo
Æaay..\../
@UltraM8 Okay so I hooked up the OP3 to my sub-woofer, here is what I got:
1- deeper bass and way much less distortion at max volume; the bass is not that thin anymore or overpowered or anything like that
2- lower overall volume ?
3- slight clarity increase
Tested on the OnePlus 3 with no external DSP/EQ + Genius 2.1 ch Speaker System with 3.5" 8 ohms Sub-woofer (6 watts output) and two 2" 4 ohms tweeters (2.5 watts output) with overall output of 11 watts.
Suggestions:
1- An EQ is so welcome to tune it for my liking
2- increase the 60/66/78/120 Hz a little bit for more "booming"
3- Make a general one without the htc_audio_effects.conf file and instead edit the generic audio_effects.conf one, definitely appreciated
Can test it on the M9 in a while, running ICE Golv's 10 port.
Wish all the best! :highfive:

There is not much you can do with presets - those for QC are closed-coded, ones for MTK - there are hundreds of lines, so it will be pretty hard to change anything) About the conf files: so you deleted it in htc ones, right? Cause when i did my testings something was wrong with htc's stock music player (like the effect was unable to connect, or maybe my ears were so tired of testing i didn't hear the difference))
I will ask a guy who made a port of yours OP3 EQ, if he can share his work, or you can help us - just rip everything related to eq in the system))

I copied the arkamys lines from the htc_audio_effects.conf to /system/etc/audio_effects.conf then deleted the htc file since it is a OnePlus 3 here.
Anyway, I dug in the zip and found some files like 0_TUNING, 1_TUNING and so on.. with some saying Bypass
And the xml file setting different profiles for different devices (speakers are off ??)
Are those various profiles ?

Well it is not a 3D surround effect, but yea the soundstage is wider noticeably
Works flawlessly
Found a way to change presets get back to me in pm
works on cyano 13?
The change was noticable... I think I'll keep it?
Tested on the lousy zenfone 3 zoom (stock 3.5mm audio sucks inspite of DAC chip because of the poor engine optimization) and it worked like a champ but i believe other devices with SN 625 may benefit from it and they are A LOT, (use 709 build ONLY) other builds won't work as good, i tested them all.
Please do make a feedback on which other device this worked.
Snapdragon 845 devices (e.g. Sony XZ2) – improved Hi-Res Output detection
Sony XZ/XZ1 – improved Hi-Res Output detection
Lenovo X3 – reenabled 24bits
OnePlus (1st edition) – disabled DVC for Hi-Res output due to forced speaker playback
added new per-output option – No Duck – for cases when notification causes issues. Activated by default for Hi-Res output for some Snapdragon 625 devices (Asus Zenfone 3)
HTCs @ 7.0 – improved Hi-Res Output stability
Nexus 6P – fixed notification coloring
Enjoy Hi-Res music all.
Direct download, use poweramp unlocker to activate it.

Tested on the lousy zenfone 3 zoom (stock 3.5mm audio sucks inspite of DAC chip because of the poor engine optimization) and it worked like a champ but i believe other devices with SN 625 may benefit from it and they are A LOT, (use 709 build ONLY) other builds won't work as good, i tested them all.
Please do make a feedback on which other device this worked.
Snapdragon 845 devices (e.g. Sony XZ2) – improved Hi-Res Output detection
Sony XZ/XZ1 – improved Hi-Res Output detection
Lenovo X3 – reenabled 24bits

Can't see any difference on the audio on Poweramp with this option set for active. The audio quality really sucks on this device.

Did you toggle the 'Wired headset/AUX" ? and was your test with headphones or via the loud speaker? and what your headphones are?
This release 709 worked for me gloriously! the only problem that it's not free and needs some work that you can find on youtube or i would post a fellow up about the odds of activating it but i just needed a conformation that it at least made a difference by utilizing the DAC chip on board!!

I've downloaded the apk you uploaded and followed the screenshots. It made zero difference to the sound quality. Poweramp DVC is great on other devices, but on my zenfone it sucks, the audio is distorted, the only way to tolerate the audio quality is by disabling it. Best player I could find so far for my zenfone is Phonograph.

The zenfone 3 zoom have an amazing sound quality and believe me the bass is insane via a good headphones, you just need to find a solution to make use of it's potentials, if you want to go throw troubleshooting provide some more information like the exact model and what software build you are currently running... you are right about the distortion i was very upset with the sound quality at the beginning but poweramp made the DAC work properly.

I wouldn't say that the sound quality on the zenfone 3 zoom is amazing. This DTS audio thing is terrible and makes sound awful. I've installed an even older version of poweramp and tried your solution, and it made a difference with my JBL T210 (not the best one around, surely). However, using Poweramp with DVC on an old Galaxy S6 that I have laying around is still miles better. Sound quality is my only complaint about this phone, that's why I was hoping for a custom rom for this thing.

Yeah you're absolutely right that DTS is a marketing thing and it sucks, you just keep trying on that poweramp 709 build only and try downloading it from APKPURE or somewhere else because the one that i provided was patched with lucky patcher and i hoped it would work with a non-rooted device to skip the activation process but apparently that is not the case, after i reflashed the phone and got rid of the root access i had to install poweramp unlocker and i have to reinstall the the main app every 2 days because without the root i can't seem to be able to activate it, keep digging, i know what a good DAC sounds like, it's not an HTC native level but it's miles ahead of the stock drivers and even better than viper4android module on magisk.

No worries about that. I've purchased the app years ago. The only thing now is that I can't allow it to update. Thanks for the hint, the sound is clearly better now.
