[APP/HOWTO]: Louder Speaker & Headphone Sound CM10.1 - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

Low Headphone and Speaker sound on your S2 got you down?
Tired of installing all those zip files only to have them boot loop your phone?
Try this app, Alsa Mixer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.alsamixer
Once you've installed the app, fire it up and let it install the additional files.
After the additional files have been installed, you're now ready to configure the audio levels.
Here are some settings just for example.
You must tune these to your listening hardware/phone.
It's best to tune these values while music is playing on the hardware you're tuning for. For example, play a track on the speaker while you're tuning the speaker.
If you don't want to do too much tweaking, skip the Master tuning and go straight to the Speaker and Headphone tuning.
Tap Master and set it to 85:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This will boost all volumes.
Tap Speaker and set it to 20
This lowers speaker output so it's not distorted by the Master value set above.
After you make all changes to your liking tap Menu Soft-Key and Tap Save.
You may also choose to increase the Speaker and Headphone values independently, however I've found that increasing the Master yields more of a boost.
In the end it's up to your personal taste.
Optional: DSP Manager
Works with DSP Manager for CM.
Post your settings so others can try them.
Alsa Mixer can do a lot of other really cool things check them out.
Please note that this app REQUIRES root and was tested on CM 10.1 latest nightly up to this posting time.
Too high levels may harm your speakers therefore you should only increase volumes incrementally.
Reply if you've gotten it to work on other roms or have not.

I use that "Tone"function in poweramp, equalizer is flat when using Beats solo hd earphones. When using Meelectronics M9 everything is off.
Did that for the headphones, what's the best for the phone speaker? As loud and with less noise possible.
its about personal likings just have a play around with the settings
DSP settings

Can anyone with knowledge of the USB sound functionality help me with this DAC?

So I have a OnePlus 3 and a USB Dragonfly Red DAC.
Common problem with these DAC's is that Android reads the "default" volume as the "max" volume.
So when I plug in the DAC the DAC tells the phone that the default volume is 22 out of 64 volume steps. But the phone hears that as the max volume steps is 22 which makes the DAC really quiet.
Dragonfly Red manufacturers tried to fix this with a firmware patch last week but it didn't work with the OP3.
Does anyone have a nifty way of getting the phone to set the max volume to the correct 64 steps instead of 22? Maybe some config file somewhere?
Long shot but I thought I'd ask.
Thanks in advance if anyone has a fix.
Hi I have the red dac, the firmware was for mqa not androids dodgy volume, basically you need root and an app called alsa mixer from the store first off then you have to type a command in terminal emulator to fix the DFR at a higher volume, i will provide the command ill just find it, I can help further I had this problem and hated it and then I found a fix
https://www.head-fi.org/f/threads/new-dragonfly-black-and-red-discussion.805832/page-185
post number 2769 has the instructions
the app alsamixer is available on apk mirror it is a free app that was on the playstore but has since been removed
The update was actually supposed to fix the volume issues but they kept it pretty quiet at the time. It fixed it for my friend who is on the HTC 10 but unfortunately it didn't work for all models.
Thanks for the info though I'll try that later today. Much appreciated

Mi Max Hi-Res on Stock ROM (No Root)

I have been searching player that output Hi-Res since upgrading to MIUI Nougat 8.5.1.0 . Fortunately, I have found Neutron Music Player V 1.97.0 can output Snapdragon PCM 24bit perfectly . How about you guys? Do you have some recommendation for other music player that can also output Hi-Res on MIUI nougat?

It can output 32 bit float & it still sounds like a **** compared to foobar2000.
Don't enable 32 bit float. It will disable the Hi-Res driver. Only enable generic driver

I am back to Neutron because I need 30 band graphics EQ with my can's.
You know, you should at least learn how to use it properly.
So 32 bit, 96KHz with Hi quality PCM as on screanshots.
I set all my settings according to yours and my audio turned into crap. There is a lot of hissing. It can't bypass Audio Output limitation of Qualcomm 24bit PCM.

Well for me it works, not that their is much difference between 24/32 bit sampling you certainly don't need more than 96KHz... The EQ on pict is for Superlux HD-668B. If you have solid can's find manufacturers frequency response graph and make EQ (negative of frequency response graph) for them.

Low headphone volume

Hello!
I am looking for ways to raise the volume on the headphones. I have tried various things supplied in the magisk manager, this forums for other devices but nothing seems to work properly. Some of them breaks phone call audio, others does nothing at all.
Is the chinese rom mixer files louder than the global ones on this device to? Can someone post them so i can try?
Use dolby atmos
Or viper4android

Chinese rom definitely louder than global.. Probably doesn't have any volume level limitation that applies to European Union and maybe other countries.
One solution I found is to flash eu rom that is based on Chinese release and have great loud sound again.

Most simple and one working is to install Total Commander, its built in media player has its option. Posting screen thought. No root or whatever. Tested and using with my Sony MDR-100ABN, works like charm without any impact on quality level. Only thing bothers me why cant i use ldac in developers option.

I have the same problem. Has anyone tried installing Viper on a stock Oreo Global ROM (I am rooted of course)? Does it work ok?

How many microphones does it have? (making a deaf device)

Hello!
Does anybody know how many internal microphone modules does Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 have?
I want to make it a deaf (and blind) device (for security and privacy reasons) since I only use it as a device for playing music on external speakers and not for calls and recording.
I have removed one microphone module at the bottom (where the hole for speaking is). It looks like this:

"lightbox_close": "Close",

}
Could there be still another one? I know some newer smartphones have few microphones to be able to block surrounding sounds while calling.
If i try to record video with Open Camera app (fdroid), I could choose audio input, and with each option selected, there is no sound in recordings - only small noise (like hum, murmur). Is there any app with which I can find it out?
Thank you!
