Hello,
I wanted to know how to manually turn the sound up on headphones. My headphones are not loud enough and it's quite irritating. I've already tried to modify the (mixer_path) and it doesn't seem like it's changing.

The issue may be with the headphones I have a pair that has a lower max volume than my wireless ones but some custom kernels have an option to raise the headphones volume like Franco and ex lernel

When I talked to someone on phone. No matter what headphones I use. They say I sound very quiet through them and can't hear me. Any fixes?
I am in the same boat with the DU 4.3 rom. Anyone find an answer to this, could another kernel help?
Same here.
Bump, I have the same problem, mic is low for some reason and people can't hear me very well. Turning on speaker phone seems to fix it for me though. odd
low mic volume
hello there. I experience the same issue on cm11 ( same with cm10 , slimkat ) I tried the CM utility for maxim in call volume but that didn't boost the microphone.
All people complain they can barely hear what I say.
What is there to be done? I:crying:
must mention Boeffla Sound Control app again did not help and had no problem with the microphone on the 4.3 stock ROM on my S3.
Currently using, fresh install:
CM: 11-20140706-nightly-i9300
Android: 4.4.4
Baseband:i9300XXUGNA8
Kernel: 3.0.64-cm-g5e96596

I don't know if this is a general fix but I managed to solve it for the above mentioned rom.
I installed the CM10.1-10.2 vol_tweak.apk ( but this only didn't fix it on its own) and after rebooting modified HEADSET, SPEAKER, BLUETOOTH, USB/DOCK in DSP MANAGER
HEADSET:
Compression is enabled, Efect strength moderate, bass boost enabled Equalizer is enabled with vocal booster, loudness compensation is strongest, headset virtual room effect is set to large room
SPEAKER:
bass boost is on, effect strength is moderate. equalize is enabled with vocal booster.
BLUETOOTH
compression is enabled, effect is slight, bass boost is enabled, with moderate effect strength, equalizer is enabled, with vocal booster
USB/DOCK
Compression is enabled, effect is moderate, bass boost is enabled, with extreme effect strength, equalizer is enabled, with vocal booster , loudness compensation is disabled, room is set to large room.
Hope it will work for everyone with the same issue I had. If there is somebody who can better explain what the modified setting please reply
This is a known bug with all cm based 4.2 and above Roms. There is no fix for it, if there us I have yet to see or hear of it.
Theres one simple trick you can do to get the volume normal.
During your phone call press volume down then back up (just one tic) it should make the call volume much louder. It works on all cm11 based Roms.

Up until now I had no problem with the volume using the settings mentioned above. There is no need to push the volume button up&down.

Hello. I want to know if I'm the only one having this problem. Whenever I listen to my wireless earphones, the volumes are not connected. When I try to adjust the volume through the inline remote, it only adjusts for the earphone independently. I only have one and can't test another.

Is it not better? I generally prefer that. I use my lg hbs730 with my kenzo on omni rom 7.1.2. I see the behavior u describe. In marshmallow this had changed for the worse to combine with volume adjustment resulting in loud distorted sound.

If you go to Lineage or Lineage based rom forums, you will see some requesting to have volume lowered. If you go to Omni forum, there are those who find Omni's soft volume problematic. In my case, I work in a quite environment and lowest volume on Lineage based roms is already as loud as making a public announcement.
I wish we had good volume system which provides low-low to loud-loud but we do not.
I tried modifying mixer_paths_tasha.xml values as recommended by hundreds of guides on internet. It does not make any changes. Then I came across audio_platform_info.xml file. I played with it but no changes.
Then I noticed that the problem is not just volume being high but adjusting volume not doing anything. I do not know if it is specific to ACIP 8.0 that is still in beta stage. I recall this problem was there for Lineage roms in Marshmallow and Nougat days. If it is a persistent problem, lowering various values on those files would be waste of time. And I will need to look elsewhere.
Can anyone tell me call volume adjustment has been fixed on Lineage roms?
I read people complimenting Resurrection Remix and Omni's call quality. As for OMNI, it is based on AOSP but RR is Lineage. Can anyone tell me if call volume can be adjusted on RR? If adjustable, I will be better off comparing RR audio files since it's Lineage based rom.
P.S., I even came across some users of other phone with same problem ultimately fixed the problem by attaching a tape on the speaker. Man, I wish we do not have to settle with that ugly solution.

I recommend changing the sound files on the stock rum.
For me, the most trouble-free audio files are always there. @4K2K

Thank you for the suggestion but the difference between stock rom and AICP too vast for me to compare.
I compared Omni and AICP's mixer_paths_tasha and Audio_platform_info file. Noticing hundreds of differences, I just copy pasted Omni files to AICP.
I was hoping it would break things at least. Nope. It does not make any differences. So I guess it is pointless to modify values on those files?
I went further by deleting various audio config files AICP has that Omni do not. That caused a boot loop.
I am using AICP 12.1 now and have no problem with speaker when making calls. Volume control works fine. Problem with earphones still remains though.

You mean the earpiece call not the speaker call right?
If so, I gotta take a look at AICP 12.1 files.

Sorry, my English isn't very good. I mean regular calls when you have to place your phone near to your ear. No problems with that. Using headphones for calls is still problematic though.
I am. Omni rom and the call volume is too low. The ear piece volume started out normal then slowly goes down. I tried changing the value from suggestion in omni tread but the issue is still there. The other rom call volume is fine

Thank you for the update. I am glad to hear it works on Nougat AICP. I guess the issue was fixed after so long which means same thing can happen on Oreo roms sooner or later.
I wish I had knowlege on Android system or general coding. I am looking and comparing values of these files from different roms but still clueless. At least, I have input from @darkobas
@4K2K: in RR you can improve the audio quality in CDLA (reducing the loud effect) installing Dolby Atmos: you can create a personal profile, and adjust the equalizer reducing the low frequencies. This ROM can ensure, at moment and imho, the best quality audio during calls via speakerphone.
bad callling sound issue
in resurrection remix rom i have the same problem my sound is too low for the other side when try on spaker it is worse than it thenother side i am talking with is hearing parazits i aö going to try stock rom and other roms. does anynone find a solition

The solution is to use the Kernel you prefer.
Hello
The lowest possible speaker volume is too loud when listening to anything, Sirius or iHeart. My previous OP7P's volume was lower for the first volume setting.
Is there anything I can do to lower the decibels a bit?

Did you install the dolby atmos mod or viper4android?
Is this over wired usbc headphones, bluetooth, or the speaker?
There is a Bluetooth volume control in developer settings if it's bluetooth/headphone related.
The atmos or viper4android mods can make the volume a lot louder. I go turn my atmos from custom back to voice or movie.
It may help to post what version of android you're using and if you're rooted, for more help
Thank you App
I mentioned my op9p that, yes I'm rooted.
I'm on A112 and did install the Dolby mod you helped me with in another thread.
I am referring to the volume of the phone's speaker as I listen to Sirius, for example.

I must have missed it. I didn't recognize the name but try changing your dolby atmos setting to another preset setting or turn off "volume leveler" or "dialogue enhancer" and see how it sounds then
Thank you App
That did it. It was the volume leveler setting, I think.

Happy to help! Sorry I didn't recognize your name from the other thread or I would have said try that before asking about your viper/dolby.
I asked because I had the exact same issue. I was laying down with my kids like 'damn, this is awfully loud for volume 1' . I remembered the Dolby install earlier that day and that was my issue.
It's good to know it worked the same on a11 and a12 for future people wondering the same thing.
I had something similar happen on Viper on an older phone with my aux cable, it would sound distorted until adjusted in viper but only in my car aux. Not wired headphones or bluetooth
