Hi.
I have installed 7HD V8.0 ROM and sound is much better than stock Lollipop and stock MM. But the volume is a bit low.
I have tried editing mixer_paths.xml and there was no difference. Then I tried LuPuS kernel with Faux Sound v3.x support and Faux Sound app. Tried some configurations, but sound was disorted.
Maybe anyone has increased volume without losing quality?
Thanks.

A custom kernel will do just fine. For example Perseus Kernel has included stweaks app and via this app you can increase volume for headphones quite a bit. But that is just one of them, I think a lot of kernels have Stweaks app included.

thx 4 help
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.
hi everyone, as you know the volume of headphone jack output is low, or at least for me it's low, how can i increase volume of headphone jack output ?
i have checked the thread that is about audio mods, there is a headphone volume code to increase the volume, but i don't know which file should i change.
i'm on OxygenOS 3.2.7 and it's rooted, please help, thanks ...
can anyone help please ? i really need that volume to be increased !!!

I have no idea about the code.
If you are not able to do it your way, as an alternative, you can install a custom kernel with audio tweaks and increase the volume through that.

Flash this buddy it's viper4arise and comes with an audio player you can increase the volume by going into viper4arise settings I have it on my oneplus3 and it's blasting ....

thanks so much friend, gonna try that
Does anyone know how to increase headphone audio on rooted stable OOS?
Or does anyone know the difference between mixer_paths.xml and mixer_paths_tasha.xml ?
I dont wanna install ARISE, it makes sound quality worse. Even with only upping the audio it makes it worse.
I dont wanna install a custom kernel as well.
What i would like to do is mess with a file like mixer_paths.xml, edit a few lines and get a higher audio on jack for music.
That's all i want higher audio for music.
Is that even possible or do i need a custom kernel?
Best mod for improving speaker volume to the maximum on NOUGAT custom ROM?
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.
