Just curious if someone has developed something that works with V4A, and increases the volume output of the headphone jack?
I have been able to do this with my old phone, an S3 with the Boeffla kernel installed...I dont think the Boeffla can be installed on the ZF2 but there may be other kernels that offer the option of enhancing the volume....
cheers

Thanks, I'll do some looking. If anyone else has anything, let me know.
Anyone know where mixer_paths.xml is on our phones?
There is an app for that
did u try viper4android
Yes, I tried V4A. The gain setting just introduced distortion. Not sure if there is any way, but I'd love to know if there is.

Care to share the app? I tried ALSAmixer, and it says it can't find libasound.so to make changes. I don't know how to use that app, I tried a manual search, but came up empty handed. All the free apps I've tried are trash.

What headphones are you using? I'm using Viper and depending on my settings, I can make a $8 pair of Panasonic earbuds sound like they cost hundreds. I use various SOL Republic over ear and ear buds that sound incredible without any distortion. I can give you some settings ideas if you'd like. When using Viper also, I find you get better results if you leave the ASUS Audio Wizard enabled and set to Music Mode
I'm using Aurisonics Forte IEMs. The bass, when it hits, tends to drown out, or fade the mids and highs. I'll try turning on music mode, I've got it off right now.
*edit* Okay, don't like music mode on with Viper. Adds a weird echo effect. I did figure out I was using the gain wrong, so I've made that adjustment. Have to give it more of a listen, but it's better.
Well, I went to poweranpapp.com, and downloaded the Intel version of the app. Supposed to savethe battery life, and improve sound. Not bad, but I still wish the phone was louder.
Just edit your mixerpaths.xml file for louder output on your headphone , save and reboot.

Where is mixerpaths.xml on this phone. I use Root Explorer, and can't find it anywhere. I've almost given up, and thought that it just wasn't possible. If you can direct me, that would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure it may not have it. It's not in the usual location if I remember correctly.

What is the correct spelling of mixerpaths?? Does it have a space or dash? i.e. "mixer paths.xml" or "mixer-paths.xml"
I did a search on the file name and it came back as a spelling option.

The phone has terrible volume. It has nothing to do with the headphones. On my old s3 a volume booster app was all I needed. Now, with this zen2 551kl I'm searching for the ability to boost gain. I've unlocked boot loader and rooted and then tried viper but it failed to apply patch/plugin/driver.

I've heard also you have to set viper to impassive (linux) rw.+...tried the app and gave su permission to no avail.
I have edit mixer path to have more volume out from speakers and headhpones
Backup original file from
/etc (file) mixer_paths.xml
And copy this one to there... then chance permission to rw-r--r--
The file will overwrite itself whit the one located also on
/System/etc
If you dont do it this way for some reason you may have some sort of problems where some app doesn't hear and video lags
Reboot then your set... enjoy and please hit the thaks bottom

Hey mate,
I've just finish to replace my file with yours. After a reboot, it worked very well, I've notice a very good enhance volume on my headphone. (I was testing this at work so I couldn't test the speakers.
Thanks mate !
@kristijan15 Hi mate,
I've noticed this morning, when the sound is very low, there are some Sizzling sounds when I play some music, I've tried with two pair of earphones so maybe it's because something isn't properly adjusted ?

Check it out, but every build is changing the structure mixer_paths.xml.
You can edit the file yourself mixer_paths.xml in its sole discretion.
This module allows the earpiece to be used as speaker, and mods the microphone pickup when recording video. Audio from earpiece might not be as clear as main speaker. This module was tested on Oxygen OS 4.5.5 version, but should work on other versions as well.
This module was originally created by @magura320 for OnePlus 3T. I have used this on OnePlus 3T and now ported to OnePlus 5. This is my first mod on XDA, so please be patient with any issues. Let me know if I have missed any credits and would be happy to add them.

Yes there absolutely is, have seen these in the past on other singular speaker devices and although they work amazingly well there is always a risk.
What does "mods the microphone pickup when recording video" mean exactly?
For those of us that use Viper to enhance the phone speaker, this might be a really bad idea. I can just see the tiny earpiece speaker dying under the extra boost given by other sound mods. This is a great idea though and I would love to use it. Is there a way to regulate the level of sound out of that top speaker or is it just opening the flood gates and using the same power as the real phone speaker?
Awesome, i miss this dual sound mod on my S7 Edge, now i retrieved this mod on my OP5 yeahhhhhh
Thanks !

I tested it and the earpiece is actually softer than the speaker. But you can definitely hear it when watching videos.

Perhaps it means record in stereo?
Will the same magisk mod work with OP3 as for op5 since there is no seperate link provided?
I did install this. I'm still apprehensive about turning it up too loud but it works well. It doesn't give off a ton of extra sound but it does sound more balanced which is nice.
Can u also make for Leeco le max 2
Is the stock mixer_paths_tasha for op5 only or both 3t nd 5? It'd be great if we manually can edit the mixer_paths section if that stereo editing section is reveled.

Without flashing TWRP you can't have root. My understanding is you need root or TWRP to install this. Pretty sure (like 99.9999%) that you can't flash stuff like this from stock recovery... Otherwise what would be the point of TWRP in the first place.

Hello guys, I have an issue with my oneplus 3 and I would really appreciate your help,,
I own this oneplus 3 phone for a couple of weeks and I am uber happy, it`s incredibly good and versatile! My only problem with this phone is the low incall volume on earpiece, it`s driving me nuts,, I opened up the phone, there is no dust at the earpiece, so I would say there is no hardware issue.. My phone is rooted and I have resurrection os installed on it. I have been trying to change the mixer_paths_tasha settings and increase the volume on it, I have read a lot about this and tried multiple options,, none of them works.. It is quite hard as there are only a few posts out there on Google saying about changes made on tasha mixer paths,, all of them refer to mixer_paths not tasha version file After I change the output volume from 82 or 84 to 93 and restart the phone, the dialer acts stupid, it`s lagging and I can`t hear anything when the person I call picks up the phone.. Even if I change back the setting in mixer paths tasha or replace the file with the backup I saved before making the changes, the dialer still is lagging. It annoys me as I have a rooted phone and cannot change the output volume,, I would buy another earpiece speaker but first I want to make sure it`s not because of software,, Please help me with this one, after changing any of output volumes the only way to get my phone back to normal is by flashing the ressurection os. Thank you guys!
i am having same issue, i restored to stock for that on latest beta. Volume was increase little bit,but it is still low.
i am trying factory reset option now. i will let u know if it restores. i am also in need for solution, tried mixer path changes volume increases bit but it clarity totally lost for me. So i reverted to stock.

Maybe try to increase the volume not so much,, it's annoying me as i have a rooted phone and cannot increase the volume at all,, whatever i change the phone does not like it and dialer starts to malfunction,, i have read a post about adding a line in mixer tasha, ctl rx0 digital volume line,, tried also that one and it does not work. I dont know what else can i do, except getting back the stock rom,, please tell me it worked for you

Check this post i solved it out
Brace Your Selfs Long Post Coming (WITH FIX)
Guys the solution is simple ...!
Let's tell you my story. I was a very satisfied OP3 user, until one day .... my speaker volume was so low i could not even listen to a person at a room without any noise. (3 months ago) .
My first thought was that the problem is from the rom (Was using FreedomOS BETA at that time ) so i changed to FreedomOS Stable but the problem was the same , let's try again changed to Stock rom problem still there .
So let's go on and try the roms (Lineage Os , Mokee Os , Resurrection Remix , etc ) every rom had the same issue Low volume.
Next thought might be a problem from the earpiece (got some spare earpiece parts from ebay ) they arrived, i changed the earpiece .... slightly more volume but still useless.
Ok let's try mixer_paths changed the max volume to 95 but issue still there ... I was disappointed i thought it was a motherboard problem ... i gave up ... after some days my screen cracked but it was working ( I love my OP3 and i bought a new LCD ) .
Then after i got the part i changed all my parts to the new Screen .
The volume of the earpiece like magic goes back to normal .
So i took the old screen (cracked but still working) and cleaned the earpiece's grill (after you remove your earpiece there will be probably a black layer of Speaker Cloth remove that too and then you will see the grill ) , it had a thick layer of dust in it , i used some alcohol an old toothbrush a little force at the grill and after i removed all the dust i putted the old earpiece and the cloth back in (the first i thought it had a problem ) I reassembled the phone and volume was like new ....
If you are in warranty it's not a good idea if not try it the simplest solution was the correct one .[/B]

Those seem pretty high compared to presets. Yo really changed them to 229/209?
Is there a certain sequence of numbers you have to use, i.e., what made you choose those numbers?
I think I've found a solution. I'm still on pie but I couldn't edit any vendor files within android. So I copied mixer_gains.xml to my internal storage, editet it and replaced it with the twrp recoverys file manager. Of course you need to make sure that vendor can be written.
Just for your safety, take a backup of the edited file or a full vendor backup.
