Modded default file a little to my liking volume wise, this is very much a work in progress, if your Transformer burns up a speaker or the sound card, don't hold me responsible, BUT on a good note it works for me and volume is very decently increased, so if your feeling lucky (punk) give it a try. You just might be pleased with the results. Good luck and happy modding! =]
Also as a side note, I have heard stories of blown left speakers, so be extra careful with the one with the speaker fix, as this is unexplored territory except from one user who did have good result's, so only use if you are aware that it may damage your HARDWARE for good...
Confirmed working on voodoo sound, but I would suggest using the medium one, no higher.
KEEP IN MIND THIS ALSO INCREASES HEADPHONE OUTPUT, BE CAREFUL SO AS TO NOT DAMAGE YOUR HEARING!!
This file was in the same folder, however I don't understand it's function, but incase you had it and erased it, here it is:
http://www.multiupload.com/EXJZ50M6IN
Original config file: http://www.multiupload.com/MRJ2V98G3W
Risky one (full output potential):http://www.multiupload.com/7L8S4I6GKF
Medium Risk one (Recommended): http://www.multiupload.com/WVKJVU5U7A
Risky one with speaker balance mod (SOMEWHAT UNTESTED!!): http://www.multiupload.com/61HP5V3M0U
Medium risk one with left speaker fix (ALSO UNTESTED!): http://www.multiupload.com/MFI035ZL65
You must reboot for the changes to apply.
If you take it for a spin, please post your opinions on sound quality and volume so others can get a good idea of what this file does
All credit to xda members freeza and verkion for the balance fix file, I simply edited his file.
Edit: you will find the stock file in system/data
Edit: Be sure to backup your original file, and if you don't know how to replace the file, you shouldn't be playing with this lol
Edit: If you hear distortion, lower the volume, as distortion will blow speakers faster than overpowering them
Also as a side note I run the full output one with good results, full volume is now usually to loud lol, does sound *SLIGHTLY* tinny, but once you get used to it, the increase in volume is worth the trade off, and if you miss the stock volume, either turn it down or re-apply your stock file.
If you like this, please click the thanks link =]
If you have any issues feel free to contct me at my personal email at [email protected], but only if it is important please.

I advise people to be very careful with volume on transformer. I blew my left speaker using configs etc and just received my transformer back from warranty repair (thankfully fixed
I really dont advise using configs like this but there is a need to make volume higher.
I have tried everything and found the safest way which is what i use now is a small app from the market called 'VOLUME+' , link below.
I set my speakers to a +5 boost in options, nothing else and volume is much higher, crisp and safe.

I agree completely, and I also tweaked a few more things so it's still crisp and good sounding, it works for me, but everyone should be advised you might not be as lucky as me also.
Wouldn't it be wise then to create a few modified files and label them according to how safe they are? (eg. Dangerous, moderate, safe) that could potentially work...

Link fixed, I apologize, also this will work for headphones as long as you don't run voodoo sound, if you do I'm not to sure, but without voodoo sound it also boost's headphone volume as well, and quite a bit on that note while still retaining clarity.
I fixed the balance issue with my left speaker (tweaking the config file) But there are times I am scare that the left will dead. There has been people that have blown out the left side. I ended up getting a portable speaker Monster ClarityHD (yeah I know Monster....) but the speaker is pretty good. 6 hrs on bluetooth and battery life is not that bad.
does this boost vodoo sound further? lol...any people with vodoo sound and tested?

To be honest I don't know as I don't use voodoo sound, but I will edit the original post if I can confirm it work's with voodoo. So if you want you can test and report back, or just wait to see if someone else doe's first.

This also boost's headphone output so it wil increase the volume of your portable speakers as well, but possibly for the worse.
will report soon just used the medium risk one with voodoo sound
no distortion sound
compatible with vodoo sound...very loud in headphones when max amplifying with vodoo sound...no distortion whatsoever...amazing sound
I don't know if I should try high risk with vodoo sound...

That was my fear in releasing the one with the left speaker fix, but the bad is the only way to know how the file will afffect it is to wait to hear from more user's on the result's they have.
by the way we have to restart the transformer before it takes effect?

Hello together,
i don´t find a similar Thread for the One with my Speaker problems. So i start a new one:
I got the following problem:
When i play a Sound with my Phone after 2-3 seconds the Speakers do a "klack" Sound in front of the shut down.
example:
When i press Volumen + or - the Phone plays a Sound, around 2-3 seconds later the Speaker do a "klack".
the problem seems for me similar with the problems the Galaxy Nexus got.
Someone can confirm that?
I get that with my Nexus 4 and almost every other Android phone i have used. I can mostly only hear it if i used some sort of volume boosting mod/app or if i hold my phone close to my ear after a sound is played. I think its normal, but annoying.
Wow, i thought i was the only one. I have the same issue. After playing a sound file (ring tone, music, anything), if you put the speakers to your ear you can hear a shhhh sound, then a "click" which almost sounds like the speakers "turn off". For some reason the same sound sometimes appears when opening a music app (such as HTC Music), as in the speakers get turned on OR some sort of amplifier gets applied. Turning off beats audio doesn't help. I got O2 (germany), 1.27 Stock rom. I'm tempted to try 1.28 custom rom to see if it's a software bug, but i am a bit afraid i might need warranty to get this fixed...

although it does click, but clicking to the point that is audible, i think something is wrong somewhere.. u might as well email htc about it
It's audible in a quiet environment when i have the phone close-ish to my face. Question is whether it's fixable via software update or whether i need hardware fix. I don't really feel like sending it in already...They'd probably say it is within tolerance anyhow.
I just wonder, tons of ppl complain about stuff such as "corner is too sharp, tiny gap etc", why don't more people complain about this noise if it is "normal"?

You never had a decent amplifier, had you?
It's dedicated amp. All those devices "click" when turned on and off. There's nothing to be fixed, although the sound should be very quiet.
It's like hdd click of death indeed. Sound is quiet but audible.

Like I said, it's an amplifier turning off (and on as well to be precise - but usually this sound is more subtle).
I don't think this is an issue. It's just a fact of life with speakers.

ah , it shouldnt be that loud too, unless you're using earphones and u hear the click then it's fine. but if hearing it without speakers, i think it is insulated badly. like i said, try emailing htc
My Asus D2X Sound Card for my PC does that, always wondered what it was.
I just installed this and it looks very cool, but it's pretty overwhelming. Any suggestions for which .IRS files work well with headset, speaker, and bluetooth headset? For bluetooth headset I've also got my regular mono one for phone calls, and I have a stereo bluetooth one from Jaybird so I'd assume they use different settings. Speaking of, what do you guys put the settings at as well.
I looked a bit at the Viper4android thread, but it's like 700 pages long.
Before you get you A$$ handed to you for not following the rules i will spare you the moment of humility and provide you with this since i was stuck in the same situation you were but simply went to google and entered "Viper4android settings" and stumbled upon this which HELPED me!!!!!

Oh, I didn't realize I was breaking a rule. You mean we can't discuss optimal settings for an app for our phones? The only rule I see that might be loosely tied is using search, but I have searched. I have searched and am aware of the main 700 page thread, and also the English viper website, none of these have users discussing the G2 specifically. I'd rather avoid that 700+ page thread since I am specifically asking about the G2 in the G2 forums and what settings work well for others.
Just to repeat, I'm not looking on how to get the program to run or install it, I am looking for other G2 owners feedback on which particular modes worked well for them. I thought it might be a nice discussion.
If I'm breaking the rules please delete my thread then, my apologies.
Moving on..
I don't use the bluetooth headset so I can't help you on that.
But for the headset, I realised that using the xHifi setting under clarity gives quite a little whitenoise. But not using makes your music sound muffled , so I guess it's a trade off(unless you know how to configure the IRS files). I am using my mid range sennheiser CX-300II without any IRS filters, cos none of them work well. You could try loading everything into the folder and going through them 1 by 1, or even making the file which is rather tedious. I couldn't be bothered, the playbackgain control and dynamic system is enough for me.
If you plug your phone into powerful speakers (I have a bose 321 but damn those things make the windows shake) you MUST turn off the VIPER bass and reduce the dynamic bass to ~15%. Differential surround(Haas effect) makes the sound sound off center on speakers so avoid it.
I noticed G2 doesn't have music effect setting, am i suppose to assume that viper is on?
No it's not that simple. What I did was:
1. Install the drivers
2. Backup build.prop then change the lines specified in the main thread for Viper
3. Install google play(doesn't work on stock LG player for me)
3b. (unsure if really necessary) Disable stock LG player
4. Reboot
5. Wait for boot to complete and see all the superSU permission flashing...
6. Play something, then go into viper, enable the first option on the speaker tab and check the "driver status". It should say that it is installed/normal, that it is enabled and that it is processing. To really be sure go play around with the settings but be careful with the gain (don't ramp it sky high and drop your phone in shock)

I just installed the app and it does all the necessary things for you. But still, Viper4Android sucks for our phone. The driver it installs significantly lowers the audio quality. With a huge amount of tweaking you can finally get the quality back up to where the G2 is at stock. Everyone is better off not using this mod for the G2 unless the author gets a much better audio driver designed for our chipset
check out the V4A audio profiles... it gives a great shares from people on settings... try them and check out the one you prefer

Yeah I don't know how happy I am with this app yet. I can get stuff louder, but I hear more distortion, but I have to play around a bit. One odd thing is that different things have different volumes after installing this. For example, my speaker phone when in a call is nice and loud, but when checking voicemail it is very quiet, kind of odd and I can't figure out how to selectively fix these things so I may be forced to uninstall.

I think you guys really don't know what you're taking about. The clarity viper adds to the sound on both my stereo and my headphones is absolutely unreal. After having set up viper, I think the biggest flaw of a stock g2 might be the dull und muffled sound it transfers to proper speakers.

Think what you want but the drivers this uses noticeably took away from clarity in all aspects of the sound. Every speaker setup can sound different so maybe this type of sound just works better for you, my high end systems though it definitely takes a lot away from the audio

neither am I nore do I have a high end soundsystem so I don't notice the difference to the worse. Who listens to anything on a high end soundsystem through a phone?
On my dynavoice speakers and my b&w headphones my music gets several different new dimensions using viper, regardless of the code of the driver.
Edit: of course every setup and every set of ears gets different subjective results. But it's so obvious that the sound is so much better with viper

This is my headphones profile. I haven't set up one for the phone speakers. It's a modified copy of something I found somewhere on xda. I guess you can just create a headphone profile yourself and then copy in the following text instead of what it says in your backed up profile. But I'm not sure if that will work or if it will destroy your phone and kill your family. You will find your profiles (once they are backed up) under storage/emulated/0/viper4android/profile. This works on my headphones and with my ears, that doesn't mean it will work for you. Here it goes:

Hey fellow xda guys
Just to state i always root and install roms on my devices but for this one am somewhat consious...i have it 3 days now and already thinking on rooting...what do u guys believe on this part?should i?
Bump. Its, something ive been searching for an answer to myself. Is there any noticeable increase in performance or functionality with the use of custom roms or kernels. I understand that xposed would play a great part in making this decision, but for someone who is not a very die hard user of the xposed framework, being as its a good enough phone without root, would you recommend rooting based on the custom roms and kernels available?
Well I have always rooted phones right back from the early days of my HTC HD1. Last year though I rooted my Galaxy S6 which tripped the Knox counter. Many people say Samsung will repair your phone in the UK but I can tell you thats not the case. My phone developed a fault and I spent 4 months in discussions with them and they would not budge. Threw all sorts of consumer laws at them with no joy. So if your happy tripping knox with the risk of down the road needing a repair then go for it. But I would suggest unless you really do need a specifice Root app then I wouldnt bother. With my GS7 Edge battery lasts comfortably all day so no need for root apps to extend battery and I have to admit the phone absolutely flies. But ultimately its down to you. Also if you use android pay or samsung pay or sky go or barclaycard app then root will prevent use of these. As I say though each to their own.
I would also like some more feedback on whether to root or not. This is my first time not rooting a phone out of the box.

Stock here. Runs fantastic which is not always the case with rooted ones when you read the forum. Little glitch with eBay yesterday was the only issue I had to date.
I didnt find rooting my s7 edge exynos helped my battery to last longer.. the only thing i found helpful is the soundmod because of low quality audio..
It all depends on how you use your phone.
I always root my Android.
Just bought S7 Edge yesterday and root it the night I got it.
I never have problem with warranty here, with rooted device, they never check it.
So the drawback only Knox and Samsung Pay. Which I don't use anyway.
The advantages is a lot : XPosed, Custom Rom, Mods, etc..

i rooted for audio mods. i noticed using xposed uses more battery but root is fine no drain.
I rooted for Greenify, ViperAudio & tweaking some Ui sounds but I'm a bit bummed that I can't use the Pay service here in NZ anymore.
Never had a problem with 6 years of Galaxy phones so I don't care to much for Warranty.

Reading through this, just felt the need to jump on this one (sorry XD) - 'low quality audio'? This phone has very very good quality audio. Are you referring to the output volume? Because the *quality* is very good XD

Yes, i meant the low output of the volume especially when using the headset. I had to root and install mods.

It's plenty loud enough for me, would like to keep my hearing intact.
Out of interest though, how can you increase volume by rooting? Surely the limitations are hardware related, namely the internal headphone amplifier no?

Ah, in which case apologies for my pedantry! Out of interest, which mod did you install and are you satisfied?

You're right, but its sort of like the iso in a camera - it artificially boosts it, usually with the tradeoff of sound quality. With only a small boost the quality loss is probably too minimal to hear though, especially if coupled with a few EQ tweaks to try and lessen the effects.

With the OEM headset the volume output is too low for me, incall volume and music especially when im on the subway.
Volumeboost, dolby, viper. It all solved my problem.

The oem headset is pants imho, no offense meant.
I am a self confessed 'audiophile' and use Grado and Sennheiser h/phones with the s7e.
My issue with algorithm 'volume boosters' (as opposed to hardware) is that they almost certainly increase distortion and clipping.

I have the 64 Audio U12s - and have similar issues. The audio quality IS good on this phone though. Ill let you know how I get on with algorithm boosters this week.
Well i always root my phones on the first week but i just bought the s7 edge two weeks ago..i see that people have screen issues after first month or two so im afraid to trip knox right now..im confused..i dont care about warranty until this phone..but somthing is stopping me..what do you say should i root it and hope for the bedt or wait a month or two before rooting the device?

I always like to root my android devices however jailbreaking/root is not always required for full customization on the phone (unlike on ios) It always comes down to personal preference, what were some things that made you want to root?
When I used Snapchat recently I noticed the audio is very scratchy and crackles. Anyone else have this issue?

I just noticed that on mine, but only on normal calls...I have sent mine back to LG regarding another issue so I will raise this one too. Im talking about the earpiece speaker though, not the external speaker.

I can check and post results when I get things re-flashed on device.
Since I rooted my v20 I can't login into Snapchat. It says I have a 3rd party issue. Any answer to fix this

Ok I'll try
I'm not entirely sure if this will fix the specific issue you are having, but omgosh doing this, makes a big time difference in the speaker sound quality of the phone. I made a video explaining how to do this and it's easy. Give it a try.... My phone sounds sooo much better at high volumes

While it didn't fix my crackle with Snapchat (seems to be app related other recording apps don't do it), it certainly improved sound noticeably so thanks for this suggestion.
I reckon there is about a 30% improvement in sound from the speaker, sounds much less muffled and louder. Very easy tweak I would suggest others do, that dust protector probably doesn't provide that much of protection in fact if dust did settle in those little holes I would imagine it would make the sound even worse.

Absolutely! It makes a HUGE difference. Everyone should do this. Glad you heard the difference, at least, in that regard.
