Hey anyone know how to boost the volume on s5? I'm not very tech savvy so if you could send me a link to a step by step guide. It appears from my searching I have to root my phone or possibly install a rom. any thoughts? Help!
There are 2 ways that I know of and both need root.
1) a music app (available on XDA) called viper4android has a setting that will give a 6dB boost.
2) adjusting an XML file within android itself (potentially risky).

i saw a way to boost volume in i think build.prop. i cant find it again anyone know how to boost volume in this device?
Edit /system/etc/hwVolumeFactor.cfg with root explorer.
Deafult:
speaker=80
wired_headset=70
Change to something like:
speaker=90
wired_headset=80
This is for stock ROM, don't know if that work in MIUI..
I cannot find the hwVolumeFactor..
same problem, there isn't hwvolumefactor.

Hello there,
I've used three Roms so far and none seemed to fix my problem...
MY PROBLEM
- People keep telling me I sound like a Roboter and that my microphone level is to high.
WHAT HAVE I TRIED:
- Installed three ROMS, none fixed the issue
- used hd2 mic gain control, didnt fix the issue
- disabled “Audible touch tones”, didnt fix the issue
- during call, enabled the speaker and disabled it, didnt fix the issue
I am really frustraded and help would be appreciated, any suggestions?
Cheers
Chris
ROM: NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.3a
Radio: 2.15.50.14
Hello
download the file: htcleo.adb
htcleo.adb default.acdb change the name and replace the various softach then it will be quieter mic gain without using hd2 micgain.
It works in any firmware.
Unzip the firmware default.acdb delete the file path is:
system / etc / firmware
Paste in the same place htcleo.adb but renamed to default.acdb.
Firmwawe pack again in the zip and install.
Way by me tested on at least four different softach.
Htcleo.adb file has just been muted the microphone so that the well can be heard by the ear and as a speakerphone.
Use the hd2 micgain it works only if you receive a call and if you call it every time during the connection each time you need to attenuate the volume + / - and then work micgain and as is always the outgoing calls.
I know what I'm writing because I spent the whole week is the time to get to this so I could hear other people well.
I would add that there was a moment that I wanted to throw mijego Leon because of the kind of small detail but well working phone are essential.
I have a htc hd2 EU version of the GSM network and not CDMA CDMA reportedly because you do not have to do this combination.
I do not know why chefs do not normally throw each as modified firmware htcleo.adb htcleo.

Thank you, but that didn't fix it either.
I found another solution that might serve somebody else...
SOLUTION
For some reason my mic gain was way to high, therefore I had to adjust the gain manually.
You need
- root
- explorer (like file explorer or Root browser lite)
- some sort of text editor, root browser lite has an editor
Open explorer and go to: /etc/init.d/
- make a new file or edit:
10mic_level
- insert the following into that file
echo '0 375' > /proc/mic_level
echo '1 600' > /proc/mic_level
restart your device...
- the first echo (echo '0 ) sets the gain for a normal call to 375
- the seconde one (echo '1 ) sets the gain to 600 when the speaker is turned on
- the gain can be 0-1000 you might have to play a little with the values
Enjoy...
Has anyone found a solution to get v4a working properly on sm-g928f?
Tried by the following steps without success:
1. Copied v4a app to system/priv-apps/...
2. Frozen sound alive and adapt sound service
3. Rebooted

Any help appreciated.

Viper works fantastic on device.
These are correct steps :
First you need PERMISSIVE kernel, otherwise it won't work.
You need to DELETE not to freeze sound alive and adapt sound.
In build.prop find the lines or add them as follows ;
Ipa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=false.
Push Viper apk in private apps.
Set apk permission to
rw-r-r
rw-r
Reboot device.
Run Viper again and follow instructions.

Copying and freezing some apps cant make it work properly man. Viper4Android needs lots of frameworks, lib files, effect and permission files etc(build.prob additions).. So; Audax Rom's sound mod is working without any problem(Viper+Dolby Atmos). After flashing the rom you dont even need to install drivers for V4A!!

thx for your reply!
as far as i know the build.prop edits are no more necessary in lollipop, the were needed in kitkat.
also the permissive kernel is no longer a requirement, as systemless root and adding the vfa policy fix would work with lollipop stock kernels.
but just to get sure, i tried your recommendations to the point, but with the same result as with my setup:
all seems to be right, but in driver status it says
NEON enabled: Yes
Enabled: Yes
Status: Normal
Audio Format: Supported
Processing: No
Sampling Rate: 48000
the strange thing is: I only get NEON enabled when installing the driver per zip flash, otherwise vfa would install a non neon driver.
i use vfa since years, and i never went into such problems as with samsung 5.1.1...
any ideas what i'm doing wrong??
Hey, my H7 is rooted, and running Emui 4.0 (B320).
I love the phone but i think the sound volume is just too low. I've download Xtreme music package as long as viper4android, but the volume is still too low.
I've try to modify mixer_paths.xml, like i did with my galaxys, but i can't find it with root browser on this phone.
I've tried to modify local_prop in CUST/hw/Eu/prop to remove the volume limitation but there is not the line ro.config.hw.security_volume as it is on other phones. (tutorial for other phones including this technique here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531673 )
There is no codec folder either, so i can't try the solution by removing it.
There is an Audio folder tho, under system/etc/ and within it, there are a dozen of folder, and one called Hi6402 containing a lot of mixer_paths files like CARRERA DAVINCE GRACE etc, and a lot of mixer_volumes files with the same name. Both have a default version.
There is no line allowing to modify the volume in the mixer_paths.xml file, but there are plenty in the mixer volume one. Could this be it? I don't know what to change, as all the others file have this lines too, and there are plenty of them.
Thanks for the help.
There is a file with a volume security in HW_OEM/PROP, but changing the values didnt change a thing. I'm doing further investigations.
Dude, you're going to break your ears![emoji14]I don't know about managing maximum volume but quick question : you successfully installed Viper4Android?? Last time I tried, drivers won't install correctly and nothing changed when I activated equalizers..

Haha don't worry i'm used to it. Did you instal busybox and/or selinux? They are both needed for the application to work.
Try to download a different version of the application if you still can't install drivers, and check if you are properly rooted.
I couldn't get V4A working either.. Can you tell how it is done? I'm on B320 rooted and busybox installed. I downloaded and installed the Marshmallow-version of the V4A. Do I have to enable it somehow in honor's audio settings because there seems not to be a place where i can choose what audio effect to use? I have also tried several audio players, but does it matter which to use? Driver status says "abnormal" so that's probably the problem..?

I have tried several roms. AEX woivod 8.1, crdroid difr 8.1, frankenROM 8.1 etc. The in-call volume is very very loud in headset and headphones. Increased the steps but that didnt bring down the minimal volume which is way too high. I tried jasper custom kernal and decreased the headphone gain in sound but that brought down the media gain and the ringing gain levels. It does not get solved by clean flash or even after full internal storage wipe. This is present throughout all custom roms I think. Someone suggested editing mixer_* files in /system/vendor/etc. There are too many of these files and I dont know which values to edit to lower in-call volume.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Someone please help!!!!! I did a recovery to my original miui backup but the problem is still there. I dont mind losing data. Im willing to do any type of clean install to solve this. I just want this bug to go away. Should I change the firmware?
What should I do?
PLEASE HELP!!!

Facing this problem too. I've tried patch as well as editing values in vendor. None seems to work.
So i just have to avoid talking on headphones as of now.

Have you tried stable Nougat ROMS? I would like to know if the problem is there in nougat or not. Is there no other way to solve this?
try out difr's patch and see if it works (its for 8.1 oreo ROMs)
mixer_paths.xml.zip

I tried it bro..... No use....I even tried it on his crdroid build... Thank you so much for responding.
Hey ShadeOfLight,
I have the same problem with too high headset in-call-volume in havoc rom.
Thats pretty annoying...
But I found a solution for the problem that worked for me:
You need tasker and Kernel Auditor for this.
In Kernel Auditor you create two profiles: One with low volume in sound option for calls (I choose value -8) and one with normal volume (value 0) for music.
Now save them under different names. I named them "low volume" and "normal volume".
In Tasker you create two tasks with the Kernel Auditor plugin:
1. "low volume"-Kernel Auditor profile
2. wait (10s) -> "normal volume"
Now go to "profiles" in tasker and create a new profile with the state "Call" (choose any) under phone states.
Define "low volume"-task for the new profil and the "normal volume"-task as exit-task.
This worked for me. During calls I can use my headset again and can listen to music normally.
Maybe this will work for you too.
Best regards
