Essential Phone Dual Speakers? - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

A lot of flagship android phones are getting the dual speaker treatment by editing the build.prop and things but I have no other experience but editing it after reading other people's instructions. I think people are interested in this so I'm hoping someone could figure it out.

I wouldn't do this. Period. There are 2 different speakers and they most likely can't handle the same kind of output. If you push the earpiece speaker too much, you could blow the speaker. This goes for any phone. You're taking a huge risk with this.

Go for it.. let us know how it goes..?

Alright... Well I would probably do it anyways once I figure it out but I do understand the risk. Not sure if I can do it myself, but ideally all the trebles should go through the earpiece and the bass through the bottom.
I've used this app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.omegacentauri.Earpiece) to kind of get the feel of how it could sound like, and it doesn't sound too bad.
Of course there are inherent risks in just doing the build.prop edit way, so I was hoping someone more knowledgeable could make this work? If it does work, it would reduce the volume and things but it would still be a fun mod for me.
Right now it seems like I'm the only one who really wants to do this so I understand if the thread just ends here but I'll update if I destroy my phone.

I miss it too from Moto x pure but I'm hoping for a mod to come out with it than using the phone speakers.

I'll try to get something started. I used to change the mixer_paths.xml files on my older phones so, I'll see if I can use those files for reference.

Did anybody have success with this?

The file is there:
/system/vendor/etc/mixer_paths_tasha.xml
I tried to replicate the mod using similar changes for OnePlus 5t.
Original:
Code:
<path name="handset-stereo-dmic-ef">
<path name="handset-dmic-endfire"/>
</path>
Stereo mod (not working for essential)
Code:
<path name="handset-stereo-dmic-ef">
<path name="handset-dmic-endfire">
<ctl name="DEC4 Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="DEC5 Volume" value="84" />
</path>
</path>
However, still no sound from the earpiece.
I have attached both stock and modified files, if somebody wants to give a shot.

Is that definitely the part for the stereo speakers?
I've not looked much into mixer files before but would assume dmic as a device was dual mic.
Plus did wonder over to the one plus 5 forum to look at the mod there. Did a comparison on the stock file vs the mod and there's a new section added.
Audio Mixer MultiMedia1 which looks to be setting the use and values of the right devices.

I replicated one of the two changes that this mode did:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/themes/stereo-speaker-mod-oos-t3632980
The other change was this, which I though irrelevant.
Code:
<!-- #ifdef VENDOR_EDIT -->
<!-- [email protected],2016/10/01,add i2s path-->
<path name="deep-buffer-playback quat_i2s">
<ctl name="SLIMBUS_0_RX Audio Mixer MultiMedia1" value="1" />
<ctl name="SLIM RX0 MUX" value="AIF_MIX1_PB" />
<ctl name="SLIM_0_RX Channels" value="One" />
<ctl name="RX INT0_1 MIX1 INP0" value="RX0" />
<ctl name="RX INT0 DEM MUX" value="CLSH_DSM_OUT" />
<ctl name="EAR PA Gain" value="G_8_DB" />
<ctl name="RX0 Digital Volume" value="96" />
<ctl name="QUAT_MI2S_RX Audio Mixer MultiMedia1" value="1" />
<ctl name="RX0 HPF cut off" value="MIN_3DB_150Hz"/>
</path>
<!--#endif-->
I am willing to help if you have some ideas.

Will definitely take a look.

The part that confuses me is there is no "quat_i2s" in essential's mixer_paths.
There is quat_i2s_MI2S_RX though.

I'm still trying to get my head around it and also find a device with a mixer that looks closer to ours. Preferably another msm8998.
Lgg6 looked closer but the way the mod been applied was completely different. I did spot another thread where someone was making this mod for requested devices so going to give them a shout and see.

Can you also give me the link of that thread, so that I can support you there?

This was the thread here (listed below), but looks like the changes are listed for each device so going to test with whats listed for the oneplus 5 as what they have makes more sense to me.

I have made a request there, in the format he wanted. Waiting for the reply.
Do you have any progress?

I am really looking forward to this, the earpiece for some reason has much punchier bass and vocals, i think essential was planning to use it as second speaker but they didnt, it sounds really good compared to other phones earpieces.

Unfortunately the thread with the request the OP has discontinued the work.
I will try take another look when I get more time.

Why is your pre amp volume extremely low, i bet you can hardly hear anything?
The best thing to do is start with bass & treble pre set and instead of highering the bass and treble, lower the mid so bass and treble dont go past 0, and turn pre amp up if not loud enough, it helps cut out the noise from the chip. If you can try to keep limit off and adjust till you are without distortion too.

Remember guys, each brand of headphones has its own eq curve, so one setting isn't going to please everybody. A good idea would be to state your music background (audiophile/general listener), your music taste and what set of iem's / headphones you're using.

Yup, it's quite a good EQ setting for short but punchy bass. But I prefer buzzing and lengthy bass, so, to each is own!

I'm an all-out bass guy. I wouldn't even care if I hear nothing but the bass, you know.. Low pre-amp doesn't really matter to me. And your tip is quite a good one too!

Cupped Hand Amplification - now incl. Full Semi Mute

As we all know the new Galaxy Note 4 + Edge device has a rear speaker, hence when the speaker is directed to open space or sound deaden materials sound becomes low or muffled.
I noticed when holding the phone in a certain way to get a better sound experience. Cupping the holding hand over the speaker, using about one third of the hollow and two thirds right of it, might reflect the sonic waves right to your ears. Sounds like an experiment with a parabolic concentrator ...

Three things come to mind when I read this post.
1)Why did you illustrate the cupping method using an old fashion phone design. The most advanced phone design nowadays has a curved edge! Didn't know they still make them that way anymore...
2)Another "old" idea to improve sound is to actually put the phone in a cup to help reflect the sound out.
3)There clearly is a shortage of developers for the Edge if this is the best we can currently do to improve user experience! I'm sure things will be getting better soon! lol

I found another manual toggle!
This is for a "quick semi mute"
Step 1: Put the finger near the speaker.
Step 2: Put the finger right in top of the speaker and press gently...
Step 3: Done! Now you have a Note 4 with full semi mute! (This works with all variants on N4, not just the TMO version.
OP, you may add this guide... and add "Also Mute" to threads tittle!

Obviously sorcery.
I wonder why they covered up half of the speaker with the design of the factory back cover? My speaker is huge yet they only gave us two little strips to let the sound out.

Pretty cutting edge stuff being shown here. If it is not too much trouble can you add a mod to move the finger back and forth to modulate the sound? Maybe this thread should be moved to Original Development section!

[MOD] Increase speaker volume :)

pretty simple mod, I hate how the ringtone and playback volume are not loud enough, so I changed it
MUST HAVE ROOT.
1.Navigate to /system/etc
2.look for mixer_gain.xml, open it up with some type of editors
3. change the value to 26 and 36 for playback speaker (max before running into too much distortion)
4. do the same for ringtone speaker, but I put 37, just a level higher than playback.
5.save the editor (root explorer will make a back up for you)
6.make sure the file correction are RW-R-R-- (I dont think it would changes but it doesnt hurt to check)
7. reboot
8. give me a thanks

you can experiment around with the value, but I wouldn't go above 37. also if anyone know the name to change for the in-call headset let me know
Pretty sure you have to be rooted for this mod. So this means that speaker and in ear speaker volume is again not loud enough... I had to increase it on every Samsung phone I have ever owned, starting with i8910 running on Symbian. Samsung please, wake up and increase the volume of the phone calls, this is ridiculous. It is a phone in a first place. To the Original poster, on my Note 4 I think I increased the "in ear" volume. I don't have Note 5 so I don't know what they call it now.

What about the headphone jack? From my measurements it appears to be quite low compared to competitors (-8 dBV into a 16Ohm load). Can this be increased?

test it out and let me know :/ it wont screw up your phone, but dont increase too much or you might get distortion.

Yeah, in this thread they doing the same for the S6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6/general/volume-boost-mod-t3070359/page4
Seems it even causes the DAC to cut out if the level is too high. I'll mess around with it once I get my device rooted (Come on SM-N9200 root kernels!)

yep work like an amp...if you are a user of headfi.org this is a common theme to user who have orthodynamic headphone...an amp that does not have enough power will always clip in the high's.

LG G6 H870 - Quad DAC in mixer_path_tasha??

Inside mixer_path_tasha.xml of EU H870 I have found this:
<!-- initial gian of headphones-hifi-dac -->
<ctl name="Es9018 Master Volume" value="0" />
<ctl name="Es9018 AVC Volume" value="0" />
<ctl name="Es9018 HEADSET TYPE" value="0" />
<ctl name="Es9218 Bypass" value="0" />
which is strange, since it does not have quad DAC.
any explanations?
I was gonna offer you my version of this xml you on about on my h870ds but I haven't a clue where that file is! Where abouts is it? how to you see it?
with Solid Explorer go to root/system/etc folder, it is in there
The zero values might disable the quad DAC, but I think if you enable it, it won't work.
It is from H870DS:

It still has a DAC, it has to have one, all devices do. It merely has a different DAC to the quad DAC variant.

Yes, but ES9018 IS Quad Dac! The other, qualcomm DAC, is wcd9320...
I know it is very unprobable that EU LG G6 has Quad DAC only disabled in software, but I cannot help to wonder... mixer_paths are the same in H870DS and H870.
so is there a brave soul with developing skills, to try H870DS kernel on H870??
Could someone upload mixer_paths_tasha from stock US997?
thnx
OEM Unlock option
Seems my G6 (H873) has an OEM unlock feature in the developer options.

So did anyone test the xml-File from H870DS for the European model?

Seems my G6 (H873) has an OEM unlock feature in the developer options.

Sorry but what the thème you use ? Please

Yes, but ES9018 IS Quad Dac! The other, qualcomm DAC, is wcd9320...
I know it is very unprobable that EU LG G6 has Quad DAC only disabled in software, but I cannot help to wonder... mixer_paths are the same in H870DS and H870.
so is there a brave soul with developing skills, to try H870DS kernel on H870??

Actually the Qualcomm DAC is WCD9335.
On another note; I don't have a G6 but I always though that H870 has the ESS DAC. Why did I think so ?
Because it's driver is enabled in the kernel for H870. So why would LG enable it for H870 if it doesn't have the dac...? Strange.

so is there any way to find out does h870 has it? without opening the phone (not that I know what to look for)?

I tried to look for pictures online, but the ones I found where not magnified on the relevant area, so I couldn't tell.
Maybe there are some pictures around, I guess I didn't look very thoroughly.
Still it seems almost impossible that they would have this chip in H870, and not use it...?
Seems more likely to me that they simply didn't bother/forgot do make that distinction in the kernel source.

yes, it is not likely at all that it is inside....
however, just for fun, here is video of H870 teardown, in high resolution, so if you want to check it out..?

OK, another strange thing:
I have installed Hi-FI Status app on my H870. And, to my surprise, the app correctly detected high impedance headphones! I thought that detection of high impedance headphones is connected to the quad DAC.
So what is going on here?
You can try for yourself:

it has wcd9335 ic & mine is toasted

[Mod] [Ainur Audio addon] Spatial Audio Upmixer [23.07.2022 upd]

Spatial Audio Upmixer​
Incredibly lightweight yet effective sound fx that combines techniques of iir, fir, compressor, limiters with loudness normalization along with main component - spatialization based on source separation and binaural upmixing.
Engine supports both wired headphones & speakers, don't see why it wouldn't work on bt, but I haven't tested that. It's also one of those very rare cases when android fx seem to support up to 192khz sampling, testing on 24/192 flac proved working like a charm.
As far as I understand there is some sort of EQ that tunes itself on-the-go eliminating clipping, but I couldn't patch anything in it.
NOTE
Can't be used with JDSP!
Requirements
Magisk 20+
If using with other ainur mods/addons - need to (re)flash AML (audio modification library) from the repo to hook it up
Updated & Fixed redownload
Does it work with Bluetooth phones don't have jacks anymore at least not mine. I do have usb c to headphone adapter.
Dumb question alert, does this downmix multichannel to binaural stereo??
Well I don't notice anything on my s10 lite but I have Bluetooth and usb c adapter.
Well I said it before and I'll say it again viper4android is in a class of it's own. All the xda sound mods a just messing with equalizer settings and xml files. Viper4android actually was a sound driver. I don't why he doesn't update viper anymore but I wish he would. Developers don't get so mad and jealous he was in a league of his own. Team Dewitt is ridiculous He thinks because he contains a APK that that makes him the new developer lol. 2.3.4 driver and apk are still better

New v4a team can only update the app as they don't have the driver source code and now the profile switching is much better than ever.
Driver wise, v4a is not that good as it adds white noise while processing and limited to 48Khz. And yes you can hear difference in hires source if you have proper hardware for that.
updated the module with fixes as well as fully retweaked engine

I'm trying it on K20 Pro.
The audio randomly gets louder and lower on speakers.

Yes, I'm sure it's working in my Pixel 6 pro A13 ROM when listening to audio from any video or MTV or music from youtube which is supporting for Spatial audio effect by my Google earbuds.

Thank you for sharing
Gave it a shot since I haven't really added any audio mods to my Nord n10 and the effect is instantly noticable.
Increased volume, wider soundstage, and slightly clearer audio.
Downside is that on my main speakers, everything sounds a little tinny, but I think that's due to the speaker setup itself.
