Emui 3.1 on Huawei P8Lite - Output volume is LOW! - P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Compared to my old OPO, p8lite has very low output volume! Ive tried to find solution what to do about it, but I havent found a thing. In some older post they said to change these lines in local.prop:
from "ro.config.hw.security_volume=11"
to "ro.config.hw.security_volume=#"
Cant find those lines in local.prop.
Can anybody help me?

Mine is louder than most phones I've owned. Sound quality is also decent. Of course, I've never tested a HTC One...

I think it is in here somewhere: /data/cust/prop/local.prop

You can install dolby atmos

Dolby Atmos or ViperForAndroid are recommendable and work just fine with P8 lite

I've been having this problem a few weeks after I purchased it, I tried installing atmos dolby mod but it doesn't work, I also note that this is a problem with the included headphones only, and no, I do not want other headphones.

Does problem persists if you use other headphones? I want you to check it. Not replace it.

[Question] How to regain excellent audio quality on X Pure?

Dear folks,
Currently I have installed custom ROMs on my X Pure to experience Android 7.0 Nougat beforehand.
However, I cannot bear the terrible audio quality my phone offers now. Loudspeakers reduced it original volume down to about 60% compared to stock. And when plugged in a headphone, there was almost no bass to all songs :crying:
It there any way I can regain those things back please? Any help?

It's a current problem with all Nougat ROMs.
There's a fix somewhere in the dev forums. I'll edit in the link once I find it.

Switch back to stock??? You can also try v4a.
I've created a fix
Not sure what kind of volume problems people are having with Nougat ROMS. I'm on CrDroid and I don't have this volume problem. I do have Dolby Atmos installed if that makes any difference. My problem is when using speaker during phone calls, the other person cannot understand me cause it echos.

Equalizer broken with the new Oreo update

My P10+ vky-al00 recently got the Oreo and EMUI 8 update. The update is fine except for the fact that that it completely broke the phone's equalizer. Every time I use equalizer settings while listening to music via a pair of 3.5mm earphones, I get a high-pitched whiney distorted sound. This applies to pretty much every music and equalizer app on the Play store.
Does anyone also have this issue? Is there a fix?

The speakers work fine - with the equalizers and everything. It's the 3.5mm jack that's giving me problems. I didn't have this problem with Nougat and EMUI 5.1 so it's really annoying.

Have you tried it with different headphones?

I've tried it with three different pairs, it doesn't make a difference. I suppose rolling back via HiSuite would fix it but I don't want to lose my data.
I'm having the same issues with my mate 9 after the Oreo update. Every equalizer app I've tried no longer works no matter the music service (google, Spotify, podcasts, downloaded music etc) whether using wired headphones or Bluetooth headphones. When turned on the music becomes extremely distorted. I had no problems before the Oreo update.
I get the same problem with Bluetooth loudspeakers.

Seems like it is directly related to the bass boosting aspect. I was able to get Equalizer FX to work and sound decent with bass boost turned off and just manually adjust the equalizer settings. The second the bass boost effect is turned on it gets all distorted.
I have the same issue with my Huawei mate 9. I reported the issue to Huawei official support center, but I do not know if the issue will be fixed.
My article about this issue:
https://qiita.com/discoheavan/items/eb800288717b9d44a4f0
I too have been experiencing this audio anomaly when using wired or Bluetooth headphones and I agree that this has something to do with the bass augmentation of a stand-alone equalizer app or player with built-in equalizer. Disabling it helps but, in my case, when I hit the next or previous song button during the song it happens again. If I let the song continue without interruption, the sound continues to be fine. Weird. I hope this is fixed soon.
Yes, its was happen to me also. listening music with equalizer apps, the so freak like singer whispering to your ears. But when i turn the EQ off, the sound normal. Before updating to android 8, the EQ apps work like a champ. Sounds really boosted. Heard android 8.0 having some bugs on audio.
Same problem with P10+ and using eq FX bass booster, and when search a new song or click next-button, th eq turns off and had to started again. Why an earth P10 models have no in-built equalizer :/

Same problem for me also, but i have Honor 8 Pro (EMUI 8.0), with Equalizer FX pro. if i enabled the Bass Booster option some kind of serious noise is coming. And i tried with many other equalizer app on play store, but no use same distortion sound is coming. But on Nougat it was so fine.
it is the problem of all EMUI 8.0 users, but here only few peoples are complaining about this. how the Huawei going to take this as serious problem.
Audio effects in Oreo seems to be seriously broken. Major League dsps (v4a, jamesdsp) aren't working either. Seems there is no way to load them, until now at least.
I've got some basic Jetaudio effects/equalization to work, but still pretty far of what I expect...
So there's been no word from Huawei about a fix? That's a bummer. I can't enjoy any of my music without a decent bass boost.
Today new fw was released VTR-L29 8.0.0.365(C432) -still not working.
1st official fw release VTR-L29 8.0.0.360(C432) not working.
because equalizer is too important for me, I have to downgrade again to
VTR-L29C432B185(last nougat version)
at least its possible through Huawei Firmware finder, but You need to have backup from High Suite. (downgrade will wipe all your data and phone will be set as new device)
Got an Huawei P Smart out of the box with Emui8, i also can't use an equalizer, i always used EqualizerFX to, if turn on Bass booster i hear almost nothing of the music is playing
I had write to dutch support of Huawei but didnt get a proper anwser, so asked them again why i can't adjust the bass, and i think there is no nougat rom for my phone, was thinking for replacing for another phone
Confirm and no solution

I can confirm, that problem with equalizer is still the same - Huawei P8 lite - I tried a lot of apps - equalizer with headphones or bluethoot not working (only high noise). Android 8.0.0., EMUI 8.0.0.
I have same problem, high pitch sound after instalation and enabling the equalizer.
WTF ?
Huawei P10 Lite
I confirmed the malfunction of bassboost was fixed on my mate 9 by updating OS to android pie.
Perhaps the other huawei devices may also work fine with the latest OS. Has anyone confirmed?
P10 lite eq
There is a reasonable way to get your oreo updated device which is missing eq, to function in acceptable parameters. Download stellio player and merge it's functional eq and bass boost with eqfy, which is Spotify official equalizer. Find the best settings and enjoy. It's not perfect but it's much better than nothing, and no pitch sounds.

Insanely Boosting The Volume For Headphones Is Gone

So there used to be a cool trick I used to do in EMUI 5.1 using an app called earpieace.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.omegacentauri.Earpiece
Basically, Huawei probably has a sort volume booster during calls and it went to effect if you used that app. Since you weren't in a call, it would apply to media playback instead (This is just speculation though). But now in EMUI 8 it's gone and we're back to the crappy audio we used to have with the Mate 10 Lite and Honor 7x. You didn't even need to use the app's volume booster function, just turn on audio through earpiece, plug in a headphone, and get insanely better sound. But now, unfortunately, it's gone.
Edit: The moment I turn on audio through earpiece, the sound jumps a little but then goes back to the usual volume. Can anyone help me with this?
Edit 2: It also seems Huawei reduced the volume, bass, and treble from the earpiece. Also, I need to mention that doing this did not harm my phone in any way. The volume booster of the app actually decreased the sound and I used this trick for many days without my phone ever getting any weird audio problems and no distortion whatsoever. It's also good to know that this audio boosting was done by the phone itself and not any app.
Ahh damn I'm going miss this so much

Sound volume on headphones too low? Android 11 / Jabra Elite 7 pro

Hey guys.
Anybody else struggling with their headphones volume not being loud enough? I have a pair of jabra headphones (elite 7) that worked great until i had to start cranking the volume to the MAX on android and the sound doesn't feel loud enough. They work as intended on the computer.
How could i diagnose the issue? Haven't installed anything that might be conflicting, i think. I tried volume boosters but none worked. I tried using VLC and testing the preamp to the max, but it just distorts the sound and there's no boost. Using the internal Dolby atmos sound EQ and boosting everything to the max, does make it better but does not fix the problem.
I am on Android 11, phone is not rooted, nor it has magisk. I ran a few searches but can't seem to find anything of help. Any tips would be appreciated.
