Switch Left and Right Audio - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to swap the left and right audio for the aux connection by editing a file in system/etc
I saw a thread for another phone that they managed to do it and was wondering if the same could be done for the note 2
I had a look for a mixer_paths.xml but it's not there

Need to send audio to my BT handset (willing to pay $$)

Hi guys
I've recently purchased an XDA IIs and i just love it! I also got a JabraBT800.
I've got Destinator 3 and was wondering if there was any way I could use the BT headset to play the destinator voice prompts, and infact, all other audio (including audio recordings on the XDA and other audio such as mp3's etc.)
I know the quality wont be good when listening to mp3's but quality doesnt matter.
I'm sure there would be a workaround to using the headset for this purpose? I've searched the 'net all over and have not been able to find anything!
HELP!! I'm willing to pay $ in order to get this working!
Anyone??
Here is the magic key, that gets me very close, with a temporary shift of sound to the Jabra 250, then back to the internal speaker. Maybe other headsets can keep the sound transfer or someone can find the next step to get this stable.
HKLM\Software\Widcomm\Plugin\Handsfree
Change AudioPreferences to (3)
Change AudioHandling to (19)
Make sure SupportedFeatures is (55)
What did this change?
Go to Bluetooth Settings, Services, Hands Free, and hit the Advanced button. Notice the whole new checkbox called "Standard Audio" and paragraph about playing music, notifications, etc. on your headset.
My Jabra now is labeled an Audio Gateway in the Bluetooth manager. Still works for phone calls, partners and begins to transmit standard audio with every sound. Just reverts back in internal speaker after 1/2 second of sound or so.
Good luck with the next steps. I noticed there is a AudioGateway device defined in the registry using AudioGateway.dll There is also an BTAudioGateway.dll, but it is not defined anywhere in the registry, maybe this is a key registry setting that is missing.
Anyone got more info on this? It seems the feature is there, we just need a way of making this perm!
Thanks for that info Paul.
I tried it and I did get the 'Audio Gateway' setting in my BT settings page. However, I could not get the 1/2 second audio at all.
Connection status also showed no activity sent while audio was playing on my XDA IIs.
Has anyone gotten this working at all? (Even the 1/2 second audio bit)?
I changed the keys, and the new check box appeared. I did not notice any audio, but im not sure when it was expected....I.e. when you change the keys or when u check the tick box. Not sure....
The feature seems to be there, and would love to have this functionality, and to be able to use the bluetooth's mic for recording on the device would also be great, i.e for Voice Commands etc.....
Any developers willing to take on this project?
I'm willing to donate $100 to the first person that comes up with a workable solution!

I dont see how my question and the link you provided are related...
BT Headset patch
I think he meant:-
http://www.pocketkai.net/asp/en/details.aspx?261
But it is device specific....
Yes, in fact I did.
Hope this helps.
Where and how do you locate the directory HKLM\Software|Widcomm|Plugin|Handsfree to make the changes?

hi
i phurchase the kais patch for bt but its didnt help and not working
It is a registry setting, not a directory. I used Raxco Registry editor for it, but there are many others available.
It appears the problem is missing registry keys. On the PDAPhoneHome.com forums one of the members decompiled the audio gateway DLL and the bluetooth audio DLL and found that they are looking for registry keys that dont exist, namely the contents of HKLM\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BTConfig\Services\0005 and HKLM\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BTConfig\Services\0006. The IPAQ and Axims that have this capability already have these keys defined. So the question is, does anyone have a PPC (Not necessarily a Blue Angel or even an HTC) with these keys defined in the registry?
Hi guys
Any updates on this?
yep check this thread

[Q] Headphone jack issues

Hello all. I have a Telus provided stock S3. My headphone jack has started having issues and I'm not sure if it is due to the firmware upgrade that Telus rolled out a few weeks ago or not because it has been at least that long since I last used the headphone jack (I think). On the old firmware the phone used to have a little icon in the notification bar when I plugged them in. Now, it does not do that. It also doesn't seem to be redirecting the sound to the headphones, although I think it may half recognize that they are plugged in. I say this because if I load a youtube video, it plays on the main speaker, and then I plug in the headphones, and while the external speaker goes silent there is nothing coming through on my headphones. I have rebooted the phone. The headphones are known good. Help?
EDIT So, apparently, even though I combed the main settings menu, somewhere on this damned phone (and I mean that lovingly, I just wish the settings were all in one gd spot) there is an option to mute the headphones. How did I stumble upon this? I went to test out the headphone issue by playing a video I recorded with the phone with the headphones plugged in and, lo and behold, on the video, I see an option for volume which was set to mute. Turned it off mute (how it ended up on mute in the first place is beyond me) and it is fixed. I have no bloody idea where else this little icon is located in the vast menus on the phone, but hopefully this will help the next poor soul with the same issue.
tl;dr: Played video recorded with phone with headphones plugged in, found there is a headphone mute setting. Who knew?

[Q] Want More Volume on the Headphone Jack?

I had to buy a line amp just to get the AUX volume up to my head unit high enough to match the other functions, otherwise when I changed functions the sound would be BLARING LOUD! Even with the volume amp, the volume was just almost enough.... a tad low, but worked.
After making the changes, the volume is TOTALLY loud enough, and it does not affect the phone's speaker output on my device. I could take out the line amp so now I have a $50 line amp that has no use! LOL I can use the headset on the airplane without any volume booster too! with lots of volume to spare as well.
Remember to rename the Original file to something like snd_soc_msm master before you copy the modified file back so that you can easily revert to original settings if you wish to do so later.
There are only 6 changes to be made, so using the search function to locate "pos_6_DB" and change the 6 to a 9, making it very easy to do.
There is a pos_2_DB and I DID NOT ALTER THAT ONE
I used Root Explorer to manage the file.
★ Go into your system/etc/snd_soc_msm folder.
★ Copy the file called "snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3" to a temporary work area and edit it there using Notepad++.
Paste to a location other than the original folder (So thet you don't mess the original file)
There are 6 lines to edit. Do Not change the one that is pos_2_DB
That's all! Simple and fast! I wish I did that instead of buying the headphone volume amp!
Aloha and Good Luck!

[Q] Mixer Path mods

Greetings everyone, i have a issue well actually more a dislike with my phone i would like to solve it using the mixer path xml file if possible.
First off i have a D852 running Cloudys Rom.
And when im in my jeep and i plug in a aux cable the phone automatically disables the Phones microphone so when i receive a call i can answer and hear the person but they cant hear me cause the mic is disabled .
What i would like to have the phone do is instead of calling the aux cable profile from the mixer path when a aux cable is plugged in i would like the phone to call the headphone or wired headset profile so that way the microphone stays enabled while the aux cable is plugged in.
From what i have read it seems that soundsabout app seems to accomplish the same thing but its a third party app
So does anyone think this is possible trough mixer path xml or am i completely unaware of how this actually works.
Thanks for all your help.
By looking at the mixer path file i see that there are multiple "profiles" such as hand set , voice-headset mic, speaker-and -headphones, and so on . but i have yet to figure out which one is called upon then the aux cable is plugged in.
Here is the mixer path file included in cloudy`s rom.
Thanks

HIFI DAC Help( Audio Experts needed! )

Hi guys. I downloaded an app called Android hidden settings from the play store. I already use settings database editor as well as the hidden settings magisk module, but I saw if one thing inside this app I haven't seen anywhere else. There is a setting called Hi Fi DAC pop up. When you click on it floating window opens and it gives you the option to turn on DTS x and the hi-fi quad DAC. you can toggle the switch is regardless of whether or not you're playing music so I figured this wouldn't do anything. This is what I noticed:
When the floating window first appears, DTS is already enabled, I disabled it and toggled the DAC switch to the on position and proceeded to open my music player. From here I opened the full settings menu and clicked on the sound effects section to check if the DAC was switched on in the phones full menu and the toggle is actually still set to the on position. Figuring there would be no change in sound, I messed with the left and right channels anyway as well as the sound preset and digital filter. Before I go further I forgot to mention that I do not have headphones plugged in, I am playing music directly through the phone speaker. To my surprise, the audio quality does change and the volume is limited to 75 as if a headset was plugged in.
I opened up the Flinger Dump app to check audio output details but it is very limited to what it shows. I'm wondering if anyone with more knowledge on the topic and the proper tools could do some further testing and see what changes actually occur. I use UAPP, and its output is showing differently then flinger dump is. Could be a complete waste of time, could lead to something further...
If I have not misunderstood, what you mean is that with that app, you inadvertently activated the dac or the dts for the speaker's sound channel, right? If so, it would be amazing to be able to modify how the dac behaves without headphones. Perhaps it could be activated for the speaker, perhaps not, but what you propose is very interesting.
I'm honestly not sure. I don't believe so, but it's definitely done something and I don't have the knowledge or the software to see exactly what has changed. Basically, unless you have headphones or an auxiliary cord plugged into the phones Jack, you can't toggle the Hi-Fi DAC button to the on position as I'm sure you're fully aware of. This hidden shortcut allows it to be toggled on without anything plugged in to the headphone jack. I played some tracks thinking that there is a 99.9% chance that the audio quality wouldn't change ( or the sound wouldn't change, I don't know about quality ) but to my surprise it did change the sound. As long as the DTS:X is turned off, all of the other options had some sort of effect on the audio. The sound preset, the digital filter and the left and right channel knobs all had some sort of effect on any audio I played through the phone's internal speaker, and the volume limit changed from 100 down to 75, exactly how it would behave if headphones were plugged in.
I just need someone to help figure out exactly what this is changing, because my music app is showing 16bit and various Khz from the 300 range to over 1000...and as you can see from the screenshot the FlingerDump app is showing 24bit to 32bit and depending on the track but the KHZ remains the same.
It may be a dead end, but I figured that since there is an actual change in sound.... there may be a possibility for someone with more knowledge than me to take this and run with it and see where it leads. I removed all of my audio mods except for JamesDSP and John Fawkes DTS tuning because every other mod made my phone upsample everything from 44.1 to 48 and it was pissing me off. The results above were with USB Audio Player Pro, but I disabled bit perfect mode when I tested this out in order to avoid interference with the results.
I'm on stock android q (through fota) and out of curiosity i tried that. Nothing happened. I can tap it and nothing. The same with dts settings. Turning quad dac to small speaker for me have no sense. Idk how circuits looks, but i think system itself don't let reroute signal through dac to speaker. BUT if ypu want to check then try that.
Open terminal app and type
su -c tinymix
And look for what is on screen.
If it's state is closed then quad dac is not working. If state is hifi, then it's working.
