Sound Mods Sound Explosion & Project era - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to increase the speaker volume a little, as these are not providing one. Or will future development make tweaks to do so? Ive tried Faux sound with Elemental kernel and it has no effect. Does anyone have a preference toward either mod?

Viper4Android increases the volume substantially, and there are two other sound boost mods that work, one in the harmon kardon thread that is almost too loud, and even affects the earpiece.
This is the volume boost one I like, although its very loud, linked in the Harmon Kardon thread

[Q] Xloud mod

Hey...Currently on Project x 3.0 (Mac-daddy rom) which does include xloud sound mod, Please..Not to sound like a wine'er, because it works wonders for my sg2 speaker volume indeed. (All hail Bilger) but Its the headphone volume that makes my ears bleed, I own a set of "skullcandy" ear-buds, which are not exactly high-end, but thier ok. Do i need to commit to high end end "headphones", instead of earphones in order to fully appreciate viperfx and the sample irs files that r available?? I know there's a a xloud removal zip, but will i be back to crappy stock volume?? I do have a paid version of voodoo louder thats been in limbo since cm10 which is compatible with agats 1.4.2. kernel. Yes...I am an Audiophile

CM or AOSP roms speaker loudness

Can someone help me with this little problem? I love CM or AOSP based roms but the problems i always had with them (on all devices htc one, galaxy s3, galaxy note 2) that they set the speaker volume too high and you can always hear that the speaker have problems with that, when you play your sound on the highest level.
i know there are mods like Noozxoide but they dont affect the alarm sounds or the call sounds.
would very appreciate some help here, thanks

A custom kernel will provide you with the abilty to set the sound levels, you would be able to turn down the max speaker volume or reuce distortion through a control app. look for a kernel with boeffla sound control, or wolfson audio control, scoobydoo sound or voodoo sound

Htc one m8 beat audio or speaker boost?

Hi, i wanted to volume up my m8's speakers, i have Viper rom, and V4A installed, but i noticed that Htc One m7 is better on speakers than M8, because of IntenseBLAST mod provided to m7, is there a way to volume up my speakers? There must be a way, this intense blast mod doesnt work for m8 cuz M8 doesnt have Beats audio, can someone help here?
Thanks in advance.

There is a mixer file you can mess with manually to boost the volume, but it will create noise/distortion so its not worth it.
What mixer? Can U help me a little with it?
So it seems that M7 is louder on speakers than M8? Now im sad I like this phone (M8), the sound on headphones is great, on speakers too, but a little louder would be enough for me, maybe i could volume up the speakers without the distortion, just a little, would U help?
Thanks for fast reply.
Could someone guide me to edit some files responsible for speaker volume and how to edit them? I want to try so much to look how the efects would be.
Thanks so much for Your help.

Turn on Playback Gain Control in V4A and set the effect strength to how loud you want it (Slight, Moderate, or Extreme)
more loud speakers?
i have noticed that, sense roms are not to loud, you can try to install a pure android rom like cyanogenmod, liquidsmooth, carbon rom.
you will notice that the speakers will sound very loud my friend..
honestly i love sense and would like to see a sound mod to gain the perfect loudness on my M8

This only work on headphones, not on speaker, Ofc if U have set minimal loudness 1/15 in your UI and apply the gain in V4A then u will notice volume boost even on speaker, but if ur on Max in UI 15/15 then the volume wont boost. See for yourself i have checked it all already.
Cheers.

Hey, you have to go into the init.d tweaks and in several areas, change a few settings from false to true, and so on. If V4A is installed, it will contradict the pre-installed "Soundboost" software and cause distortion. I think the tweak is to turn LPA decode off., or to false. I'm in the middle of firmware updates otherwise I would post a screenshot or more particular answer. I will update the specifics soon for you.
I'd be grateful for your screenshots.
Thanks a million.

Heya man.
Have a quick look here: http://androidhackz.blogspot.com/2013/12/get-amazing-sound-quality-with.html. It goes in more depth about what I was mentioning actually. Recently when I install the V4A 2.3.3.0.zip and it ask which quality audio drive I want, another window pops up informing me that the Viper4Android app itself can handle the disabling you would need. Perhaps an older version doesn't though. Hope this helps? :good:

LG G4 hardware limiting the earphones volume!

I tried many sound mods like V4A, Dolby Atmos, Xtrememusic....but none increase really the 3.5mm output volume.
You can get more loudness thanks to V4A+Dolby but still you feel there are 20 even 30% missing volume.
Usually with V4A I boost the db in the end from 0 (normal) to +6db and playback gain control to the max on an HTC it used to boost the volume about +30% which was enormous (never used in real life only for testing), but on the G4 and whatever the kernel I used, these +30% are only there at low to mid volume steps (G4's stock volume steps), once you are at step 7 over 10 it will have the exact same volume as 10 over 10, meaning no gain at all. It will just use the max stock volume on lower volume steps :crying:
It looks like the G4's hardware or snapdragon is limiting the max 3.5mm volume.
I tested with my Sony SBH50 BT and HTC CAR Stereoclip BT modules and the volume gain is about 20% over the max volume (meaning 120%) so V4A and other mods can bypass the max volume on a connected BT from the G4 but not the G4's own 3.5mm output
Do you know any ways to bypass this limitation?
I tried Jetaudio and other apps using Gain option but the sound is bad once +1db over normal

Yep this horror .Bad point for g4.
On G3 exixst one good app but not working on G4 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.laransoft.volumeG3
Only tiny solution:Flash faux sound supported kernel and install faux app.This app help raise vol minimal.
Sorry for my bad english.

In just tried the Fauxsound as my kernel is Superex, and yes it's better than V4A, at least we clearly gain volume with it, I set it at +2 or +3db because more than that the sound quality is deteriorating.
I even disabled V4A as it was doing some parasites once Fauxsound is boosted.
So I think I can say no for a Fiio E6, I wanted this small boost for the incoming ski days

Yes .No perfect solution yet.I think software restriction.Need professional dev. help!
Wow I found my old good Cowon J3, the volume is way louder than G4, it will be my sports music device instead of G4, the only thing is that BT is only 2.0 so I will only used with wired earphones, and if someone calls me on the G4 I won't know

I really don't understand all your doubts about VA4 and volume sound...
I've installed in several phones and with a good profile effect, the sound is fantastic and I only can listen to music with the volume at 25/30%.
If kernel support audio you also increase sound loundeness wit faux app or simple kernel teak tool like kernel adiutor, sypnase or trickster.

Only Faux app is working with actual G4 kernels.
I tried the new Beats port http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-htc-beats-audio-beats-xperience-t3281603 and it's pretty good, at last it gives some warmth to the bass
I am on genysis 3.5 with the superxe kernel and v4a definitely works. I would suggest looking at the driver status in v4a and verify that it is set up properly.
If you try v4a again, you might be interested in the convolver Dolby pro logic 2 IRS profile. I think that would give you the volume boost you are looking for.

False.
Following the exact tutorial I posted there is a *very* real difference in max volume when editing the mixer paths. I've repeated it many times on my 5.1 H812 from stock.
The unfortunate problem is the distortion that comes with upping it too much, so the gain is noticeable but you're not able to boost it too high. It's very limited by the hardware. My S3 still sounds a lot better, and it goes louder... bah.

(I found this thread because I was looking for anyone else who may be experimenting, as I'm really not satisfied with the audio output.)

Boy, I sure wish this were an option for the H811 variant. I can't find any kernel that supports fauxsound. This low gain output kills me. I used to have a V10 with the same chipset and that thing would go incredibly loud. This is so disappointing.

[MOD] Increase Max Headphones Volume for custom Oreo Roms

Here is a simple mod that allows you to increase the maximum headphones volume in Oreo custom ROMS for Vince, here's three files:
Original: restore the original max headphones volume in Oreo Custom ROMs
85% Boost (recommended): Increase the max headphones volume to something like the original levels in MIUI, this one doesn't cause distortion or noise.
100% Boost: Increase the max headphones volume to 100% Use at your own risk! May cause distortion, noise, hearing loss or headphones damage.
Requirements:
Unlocked Bootloader
TWRP
Oreo based Custom ROM
Installation:
Dowload the file and flash with TWRP, doesn't need to wipe anything, reboot and test.
Tested on:
Resurrection Remix
Liquid Remix
AEX (AOSP Extended)
Pixel Experience
Havoc OS
Dot OS
Thanks for the great mod. Before I had to max out the volume and it was still not enough. Now I seldom need full volume most of the times i keep it one or two steps lower and thats with the 85% boost.
One question, does it affect bluetooth headphones? Because today I tried a pair of headphones I was considering to buy and they felt nice to me but the loudness was underwhelming. I had changed ROMs so I didnt have the mod installed that time. So will this mod improve that or there isnt a way to increase the volume of those headphones? Because I'll only buy them if I can increase the loudness.

This mod does not affect Bluetooth Headphones because Bluetooth headphones has his own DAC, I'll try to research if its possible to increase the loudness, but I'm pretty sure that its not possible over Bluetooth headphones.
Thanks :angel: worked perfectly in Pixel Experience Rom ? 85% is enough I think

Hello, it worked perfectly for me, I wanted to ask you if you could create a mod that works in the custom roms that is to increase the volume, as well as MIUI, the volume of the speakers

Sorry, I only was able to decrease the volume, I was thinking to just set a higher value, but when I try to increase, the speaker reach a limit and I don't notice a louder volume at all, maybe it's a secure limitation, but I need to do a extensive research. But for now, you can use Viper4Android V15, it's a magisk module, I suggest to enable "speaker optimization" And "eXtra Loud" In speaker tab, and under "master gate" You can set the "Output Gain" To 3dB, also you can use the equalizer optionally. It's not the best solution, especially in max volume, but it's good enough, I think it's safer way to do that without compromise the speaker integrity.
