Hey guys, anyone using GravityBox to enable the option to increase the volume steps (in media) ?
Does this actually increase the maximum volume? The output is really poor (quiet) compared to my old Samsung GS2.
Or do I have to edit some system file to increase the parameters?
No it doesn't increase the maximum volume, it just adds more steps until you reach maximum.
For those interested, I just found this from Auras on these XDA forums, originally for Z1 but also for Z1C ... increase volume mod

Hi,
I'm on 4.4.3 (Android Revolution HD 10.2). I used to own Nexus 5 on which we could modify file \system\etc\mixer_paths.xml to increase volume of integrated amp
The same thing exists on several phones like for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54228412&postcount=1
Could someone attach here its mixer_paths.xml and mixer_paths_auxpcm.xml ? I would like to compare to mine to see if i can manage to know which value affects the volume. Fauxsound can do it through an application but is not supported for the moment on 4.4.3
Thank you
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.
Hello; i use RR oreo and i want to increase volume for incoming calls and notifications; i have viper drivers installed and i observed is increased sounds only when play music but not for what i need. Can somebody help me? what file and what line i must edit?
Hi,
I have LineageOS 16 installed on my XA2 Pioneer, but a stock Android feature is missing: Accessibility > Audio Balance.
I would like to increase volume of one audio channel because I have a hearing impairment. I checked the documentation, and it appears you could achieve this in previous versions via adapting of system/etc/mixer_paths.xml. I cannot find this file anymore though, could someone please help me out here? Thanks a lot!
I've got almost the same problem. My phone is a Asus Zenphone Max Pro M1 (what a big name!) modded with LineageOS 16, and I can't find the Audio Balance setting, it's missing and both of my headphones (Bluetooth and wired) only has sound output from the right ear. So, how can I fix this? Any ideas?
