So I'm coming from the Nexus 5 and it's speakers weren't the greatest but with the "Surround Sound Mod" (enabling the front earpiece as a second speaker) it definitely helped out. The method to do this is to edit the mixer_paths.xml file in /system/etc. Unfortunately though, I can't find that file anywhere in that directory. Is this file somewhere else on the phone? Or is there another way (app, mod, etc.) to achieve this. It would really help out the output volume of our phone
I guess no one has any insight? Not even a hint of where to look?
I know OPO also have surround mod. Probably try switch to CM12.1 and look for the file again?

Hey Guys It appears that I'm not the only one who feels TP2 volume is a little on the low side. For some it may be just fine. I have installed attached Audiopara4 file on my T-Mobile TP2 and man it makes it SUPERLOUD. The only problem is that while it increases the ringer and system volume substantially when I call someone they can't hear me on the other end. I was wondering if any of you TP2 Specialist (Smile) could take this file and experiment with it a little and see if someone could tweak it so we can enjoy the SUPERLOUDNESS
The Audiopara3 file that someone has already supplied for our phones is ok, but once you install this one its MEGA. I've attached the file below along with Audiopara3 zip just in case someone wants to revert back during the experiment. Thanks for your help.
Hmmmmmmm I tried the AudioPara 3 cab a while back and it increased the InCall volume significantly, are both of those files needed?
Only advice I could give is to try another radio if there not able to hear you on there end.

Just the AudioPara4 file is to be experimented with. I attached the AudioPara3
file for those that need to revert back to original Audiopara3.cvs file already in TP2 windows directory. I'm currently using radio 4.46.25.24 and it appears to be ok. Have you tested AudioPara4 yet?
hey there
i have 2 questions 1 does this increase bluetooth vol? i noticed a slight change in speakerphone vol.. but not much on my stereo bt ... and 2 with these csv files .. do i delete the other ones in the windows folder? i have:
AudioPara.csv
AudioPara3.csv
AudioPara3_ATT.csv

I have not, what are the differences from Audio3?
Hi, I'm a complete newb and I'd like me TP2 to have louder rings and system sounds, especially the speakerphone. Only problem is I have the Verizon TP2 Global version with both CDMA and GSM capability. Am I in the wrong area, if so could you point me in the right way. Oh, I live in Southern California and just purchased my Verizon TP2 about a week and a half ago.
TIA

major ringtone system volume increase. Mega.
I am afraid of blowing a speaker?? Has this happened to anyone?
It has not cabranscom, blowing your speaker would only be possible if you raised the volume to max everytime when using the speakerphone which you'd then be damaging your ears as well lol
I still feel like mine is rather quiet as well, particularly the earpiece. Where did you get this Audiopara4 file?
jcc332006,
Did you ever get the Audiopara4 to work properly. I really like the super loudness of all the system sounds on my TouchPro2, but when I turn on the speaker for a phone call, I just get hiss and crackles. Back on the standard Audiopara3 for now.

Where exactly did you find the audiopara4 files? Is there a thread that I missed???
does anyone kno if this works on the clarity of the sound out of the headphone jack too?
So, I've made sure that ringer and media volume are at their highest, and I've noticed that it is kind of difficult to hear Navigation. Has anyone else dealt with this? I haven't had any of the "speakerphone or call quality issues", just noticed this the other day while traveling. If others have experienced it, do you have a work-around?
I think that generally all of the sounds on the Gnex are very low. I personally haven't used navigation ( i don't drive ) but all their ring tones notifications etc are very low.
One solution for the notifications i used was to 1) use your own audio files or 2) manually edit the audio file with a music editing program to have a higher master volume level.
That is where you may be able to get some success if you can locate where the audio files are for the navigation app you could try to manually increase their volume and replace them.

The audio files are downloaded on the fly, so trying to edit them wouldn't work too well. Look for volume+ in the market.

I guess that I will give it a shot. Ever since the update (and even before it) I really had no issue with media volume, speakerphone or call volume. Thanks for the advice.

Good to know
Can anyone try to get this working on our device? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2442883&highlight=speaker
for the speaker and headphone output volume this can increase the volume in our speaker or headphones or lower it.
Download Trickstermod in the Playstore and get the pro key for it. It has an option to increase the volume output for everything, right down to which side, left or right individually. You must be rooted though.
Also this wouldn't require porting at all. However the correct file that handles the volumes would simply need to be located but more than likely will not be the same name. I'll look into it tonight.
The lowest possible volume setting (before silent of course) on the M9 speaker is too loud for me. Is there any way to lower it further? Is there a specific file that controls the volume that I could modify?

Yeah, I already have it on Music mode. Still way too loud.
There must be a config file that has the sound levels in it that we can edit, no?
I just looked at Dragon-fi Audio, thanks. It seems like that has many more modifications that what I'm looking for. I just need a way to lower the sound level of the minimum volume.
you can edit a file called something with mixer_path.xml . but i forgot which exactly it was.. but yea Dragon-fi is really nice and awesome and really helps with static noise on m9...also anything else is much more improved *_*
My phone seems to have a low volume for all sounds. Any roms or other hacks can boost my in call volume? I have full S-off and can load anything. I have been roaming around and can't find anything that specifically talks about boosting the in call volume. Mine is really low and the speakerphone and even playing music with the speakers is also pretty weak.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
You can try to edit the values in the mixer path xml file (use a file explorer with root access). I haven't tried it with the M8, but I think it should work. You can do an XDA search, for general instructions on various device (don't know if you will find a guide or thread about doing this specifically on the M8).
Make a backup of the original xml file, and there certainly wouldn't be any harm in trying (somewhat obvious, take care not to harm your hearing or the device by using excessive volume levels).
Also, if you it's just the speakers/earpiece that have low volume (for instance the volume levels on headphones is okay), you may look into cleaning the speakers of any debris. Some folks have had a significant increase in speaker volume from doing this. There is a thread on it, somewhere in this M8 forum.
I suffered from low overall volume too and was about to do what redpoint73 said, but I did sone some snooping around the forum to find the said thread and found this https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/sound-to-normal-t3559052
I did what post #6 said and the difference was like day and night. I highly recommend it as you might have dirty speaker grills like me.
