Question about any of the Audio mods/Kitkat.

I am on Stock KitKat rooted, I've tried Viper and I tried one of the other audio enhancing methods, and none of them seemed to do very much for the audio in terms of making it any louder. Is there a mod out there for my specific model that will make it louder? It's kind of strange, my boyfriends phone is loud as can be when it comes to ringtones and videos but mine is quiet as a mouse. Viper made the audio worse and I'm afraid to try and figure out what numbers work best for the snd_whatever_taiko file.
So basically I'm asking if there's anything I can do at this point?
Edit: If it helps I'm on AT&T, Kitkat with all the latest OTA's.

There is a sound increase mod 1.3 on the development thread... Install both speaker and headphone zips... I did that and my speaker is really loud... For my headphone music I also use viper and turned up the gain completely

Dirac Audio on Custom ROMs

Isn't there any way to get sound as we use to get on stock miui ROM? I mean that cant anyone port Dirac audio from MIUI to AOSP based ROMs. I tried every sound enhancing mod but none worked and the sound that i got from speakers is just unpleasant to hear to although viper 4 android does provide balanced sound from speaker but it's distorted and on high vocal music the speaker starts to distort very badly. Can anyone port Dirac Audio from miui, it will be a revolutionary mod for our beloved Redmi 2/prime.

[solved] Require a kernel or ROM that can adjust sound gain

I have the Sony MDR-XB950N1 and they sound awesome on an iphone and ipad. But they sound like crap on my android device. I've tried both NucleaROM 7.2.1 and Bliss 6.4, and the sound is too low on both ROMs. Kernel Auditor's sound setting doesn't help at all. I would like to stay away from Viper4Android. I don't need to enhance the sound. I need to be able to adjust the gain or amplify the sound.
I don't get android at all as this has happened to some Bluetooth headphone I've used in the past. But for a USD$300.00 pair otf over-the-ear headphones, this should not happen! It sounds like a pair of headphones you buy at your local 7-eleven. Maybe I should go back to the official firmware?

Interestingly.. i installed CM13 6.01 (Dec 2016) and BT volume is 100x better than the ROMs I mentioned above. This is without the kernel auditor sound mod. I DON'T GET IT.. But at least my earlobes, eardrums, and headphone are vibrating at max volume again. I still would like a solution for Nougat ROM.

You can have a look at here https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/themes-apps/apps-to-gain-microphone-volume-t3450390 it's not only for microphone problems

Yea enabling volume level works great with my daily driver, NulceaROM 7.1.x. Thanks for the heads up! Its on par with CM13 and iDevices. I'm not convinced that this issue only happens to our device. I used to have a MI phone and BT volume with nougat was abysmal also.

Viper sound quality is horrible with SamPWND root method...why?

I've rooted my US Verizon galaxy s8 using the steps on this forum. The first thing I did was grab the Aroma 2.4 installer for installing arise sound mod (which includes viper and simplifies some manual steps). Viper sound is horrible quality.
I started fresh again by wiping data. This time, I did the following as this was suggested in the SamPWND thread:
1) freeze Samsung soundalive in titanium
2) copy audio effects file from viper to /system/vendor/etc
3) install viper apk
4) our bootloader is locked and so the next step of using magisk doesn't seem to apply, so simply open viper and configure it
I'm running viper in compatible mode. I didn't need to set kernel to permissive. While listening to music, in parallel I adjust the eq and definitely can hear viper taking effect.
Even with stock eq settings and trying to set gain limits:
1) music sounds way overpowered...seems cutting in and out
2)bass is fine until mid and high ranges pick up
3) vocals are harsh on the S sound
4) highs are tinny
5) mids sound muddy and in a tunnel
What am I missing? I've never seen viper make things worse before!!!

Sound without bass on speaker in any Custom ROM

Hi! I have problem with sound quality on the speaker. The sound on any custom rom is without bass. On Stock rom is very good. Is it possible custom rom does't have some audio drivers or frameworks ? Could someone do some MOD for this??

Same here

Use Dolby plus on magisk. Set the fx curve to U shaped in custom settings. It gives some quality sound; creates depth in the audio. However, if you want headphone-like bass, its not possible on this phone due to speaker hardware.
