Hey guys
I have been playing around with miui for the past week and was quite disappointed at how much quieter everything seemed compared to stock. I started trying to improve the volume but all i got was distorted noise. Anyway, after a lot of experiment i have found the right combination.
Just want to point out that i am not responsible for any damage to may cause to your phone in trying this.
I am running BlendMIUI v9
What i did:
1. disabled xloud in build.prop. changed ro.semc.sound_effects_enabled= to false, ro.semc.xloud.supported= to false and persist.service.xloud.enabled= to 0.
2. downloaded Volume+ (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449513) credits to meltus for this amazing app.
3. set settings to:
speaker modifications=enabled
virtual room effect=disabled
eq settings=spoken word
volume level=+10
bass enhance=0
advanced settings - speaker modifications=disabled
left eq settings at bottom untouched.
4. disabled the eq in the music app. It is important to disable any other eq settings/programs for this to work, including dsp manager, as the 2 conflict.
With anything other than these settings the sound was very distorted but these settings are clear and alot louder. Just wanted to share my experience and hope it helps somebody else.
If i have helped you please click "thanks"
Cheers

Is built-in dsp manager don't help...with this you can easy hack your speaker volumes.

Hi everyone ive been on here for a while now reading and modding my blackstone. all going well
Apart from the volume!!
Everyone complains about the volme being to loud well mines to quite ive installed tweek HD and advanced config but unable to make it any louder though external speaker or head phones (FM radio and Player)
Audio boost - enabled
100db limit - Disabled
Increase sound - High
FM reception - Improved
and in advanced config music paler volume is set to 100
Just so you understand how quite it is. If i set the volume slider to 3 i can just about hear it, i know alot of you complained that on the first bar it was two loud wish mine was
what am i missing??
Anyone got any ideas?
was it quite out of the box? or after you added some apps and tweaks?
one idea: some earphones have built in ear protection. With my PSP one I had to modify them... try with others?

...which headphones are you using? how do you sync your tracks? with my Shure Se110 i couldn't bear louder volume without feeling pain in my ears, but indeed i noticed it depends a lot on how the track is recorded...

Hi .. Experimenting for so long I think I have finally hit upon the perfect settings for listening to metal and rock (I dont listen to the new metal .. I am talking about old stuff .. ledzep, deep purple, dio, acdc etc)
If you are on CM7 ... in dsp manager - this is the combination i use from left to right - +3 +2 +6 +2.5 +4 . There can be a variation of +/-.3
If you are on sense download this app - volume + .. headset settings, enable speaker modifications, eq type select rock, choose the maximum volume level, bass enhancing is set to 0, and enable stero widening. In the sense music app select equalizer and choose Bass Booster.
EDIT: Sorry forgot to add that if you are using sense you need to use the eq type bass boost in the stock music player
If you have a setting that sounds better than this, please share here.
As long as it's loud I don't really care \mm/ \mm/
It can never be really loud enough can it?? hehehe ...
It depends on the earphones. What are you using?
Headphones: I use JVC Marshmallows, and the stock music player, set to SRS enhancement.
In Car: Stock music player, with EQ set to ROCK...
EQ on my Kenwood CD player in car is set (Treble -2, Mid -2, Bass +3)
*This is all being driven to 4 MA Audio 6x8 250w each speakers, and 4 MA Audio tweeters.
Want GREAT metal and bass together for testing? Youtube search "Michael Johnson Transmission" (This is not me, just REALLY good "basement made" metal.)

You are a genius. Tested with Walk by Pantera and it's about as perfect as it can be (on this phone / headphones).

I am just using the stock headphones .. and these settings give me the best result on stock headphones
Yeah, like description says: That "new" noise from backspeaker is full of junk. I've tried a few different players and equalizers with no luck (And it feels like that overall quality of sound from phone is lowered from what it's used to be)
Is there anything that we can/could do to improve of the quality of sound?
also experiencing that
Got an idea: is it possible to use old sound"driver" to get back better sound to backspeaker?
I don't get it, why Huawei didn't put any options to backspeaker...
Also very silent in calls sound
Trying to find solution to this
Lets bump this thread.
So, I've found "solution" to our problem:
First, install Equalizer from Play Market. It works simple: after you have set your equalizer and want to enable it, press home-button. If you don't want to enable it, press back. There is that "legendary" 5-band equalizer (yes, there is also bassboost and virtualizer, but the main point is at the equalizer). You can adjust it until it fits to your ears Just to mind you, the first one is bass, and the last treble (from up to down). Those three which are in middle, are for middle sounds (obvious, really ).
That should fix the sound quality of a backspeaker.
For example, my settings:

Hello all,
Before my Nexus 4 I have a Galaxy Nexus, and I love to listen music in maXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX volume,
On the GN, I can find easily kernels with easy and good sound boost, in trickster mod,, just have to chose between 0 1 2 3 sound boost, and enable or disable HQ sound
And it really works well with a Goood sound
On my Nexus 4 I tryed to play with my preferd player : PowerAMP, I tryed to boost replay gain, enable/disable direct sound control, tryed to boost volume in DSP manager, boost volume wiith franco kernel headset and volume boost options...... but when I try any sound boost, rapidly the sound become stronger but with a very poor quality, and horrible crackling.....
I tryed XLOUDER on my GN and N4 but for me i'ts just a renamed DSP manager.
Somebody have a GOOD way to boost the sound with good quality please ? any app/kernel/hack ?
Because I LOVE listen music with the volume to maximum, but not with this horrible crackling ....
Thanks a lot for replies
I use the xlouder mod posted on the themes and apps section with the franco kernel app with the volume boost set to 6 and gain set somewhere to 4 to 6. It realllllllllllllllllllly helps out alot. If you want some good dsp manager settings set the compresion to minimal and bass boost to moderate and set the equalizer to be in the shape of a u with the two end values set to be the biggest but not all the way. Set it to either strong or strongest.
Also you need to have good headset because if you have a cheap one then it will crackle and sound really bad im using monster turbines and they work great without any crackling. There is a bit of hiss due to the volume gain set to be higher then normal but it really doesnt bother me.
thanks,
but if I try to change everithing in DSP manager, or with xlouder, the sound becomes crappy directly
in franco, if I push the headset gain or boost after +3 the sound become crappy....
And if I try XLOUDER, if I just set bass boost in Small (the first) all my earphones gone to explode with bass saturation... even if i try to plug my home Sony amplifier, the sound is completly saturated with bass.....
for earphones, don't worry I have Sennheiser CX 890i , never have any problem with my GN

Hello all ZF3 owners,
I own ze520kl model and It is just me or sound is terrible after updating to Android 7? I have (almost) no bass sounds, anyone else feels this kind of difference? Equalizer makes a little of difference, but not like previously did on Android 6.0.
2 different set of headphones and 2 different player apps.
Regards,
Dan.
Others reported the same.
Looks like I have to hold on to update my phone.
The Android N update for the Zenfone 3 enables AudioWizard audio processing with wired headphones, meaning that any EQ you have on your phone's speakers will carry over to the headphones. There also may be a bug that activates certain AudioWizard presets on headphones without warning. Either way, you can fix the problem of headphone audio sounding tinny or weird by going into the Sound and Vibration settings menu while your headphones are plugged in, and selecting AudioWizard. Once in AudioWizard, set the preferences to your liking or just select Pure mode if you don't want any EQ or anything like that.
Big thanks, it worked like a charm!
Regards!

Will try that settings. Thanks for the advice. :good::good::good:
Sorry for reviving this old thread. I updated to Nougat the day I got this phone and learned that audio quality is worse than my last phone, even with AudioWizard set to Pure. Will audio sound better with the AudioWizard app and service disabled?

I also found two audio packages, "com.asus.maxxaudio" and "com.asus.maxxaudiowizard" which I can't disable via ADB because I'm not rooted.
