Have you tried this one in post 4? I think that should do the job.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] contrinsan:
I use this on a non touchwizz rom myself, however i have a 9505, i don't know if it is the same for i9500 ?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] contrinsan:
I have only one file, that made it easy to find everything.

If you can make a zip/rar file off these files and upload them i can have a look at them if you want
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Srmusico:

Hi, i have 2 files for you to test, nr 1 & nr 2.

If possible make a nandroid backup before testing, so if your device doesn't start you can restore a working phone because i cannot test this on my phone so i don't know if it will work :)

first try with file 1, it only has one edited file, you should replace the one in your system\etc\snd_soc_msm directory (keep a backup of the original files) with the new one from me.

After replacing, set permissions (rw-r-r) and reboot and test sound. i've set it to medium boost

If nothing happens to the sound, unpack nr 2 and copy them all to \system\etc\ snd_soc_msm ->remember you have to set permissions to every file that you replaced before restarting !
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Srmusico:
Hi i have been testing the files doing exactly what you were saying, and i never Heard any implement, with my headphones, (there are a Senheisser Studio) and testing too with my studio monitors (Speakers) Yamaha Hs80m.

the sound of the phone speaker, i think, that may have improved.

my Android is 4.3 original Stock rom and stock kernel.

thanks you so much to be helping me :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] mtayabkk:
yes i tried it now ...but if there is a way to increase more sensitivty so i can fix my mic issue PLZ HELP HOW CAN I INCREASE MIC VOLUME
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] xn0live:
Works perfectlly with stock 4.42 :)

Thx!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] contrinsan:
Did the sound for speaker become louder with only the need for file one ?

If so, i have prepared a new file for you to test :)

Same procedure : make a nandroid backup if possible (it's inside the recovery when you bootup the device and makes a perfect copy of the moment in case something goes wrong)

copy & overwrite the original file in system/etc/... and set parameters to rw-r-r before restarting. I hope i can help you :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Srmusico:
(oppss i was writing a long long paragraff and Internet Explorer refresh the page...)

Hello!, good news, this works! :) im testing the sound and i can hear more level of output with my senheiser studio headphones.

i can hear that the sound quality is the same, its diffcult to explain what is the problem of the s4, because one thing is the volume and other is the quality of the signal, I have been testing the sound and i can appreciate at all levels, that the sound have a distorsion, i think that not a distorsion of noise, is like the music sounds overcompressed. i tested with some interfaces of my record studio like Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 and the sound isnt the same, some frecuencies from 50 to 600 MHz are limited and compacted.

try it, if you listen one of your favorite songs carefully with your headphones, you can hear "mini increases and decreases of volume level" maybe it could be the amplifier of sound, and how is gestioned. this is why i say that is like overcompressed sound.

i came from a Galaxy S3, and the sound quality and output level (with all stock of Samsung) is bad, worse than the s4...

i installed Siyah Kernel with Stweks in the s3, and WOW, the sounds turn into amazing!, (im speaking about flat presets, not "eargasm" or other settings) the quality is like my Focusrite, like my mac book pro, and others....

i heve read that Siyah kernel includes Vodoo Sound, and this is the reason of why the quality and level is better. could be the way of conversion of the signal from digital to analog, without noise and a best gestión of the chip phisical output amplifier.

i Heard other s4 models and their have the same problem with the quality, but i saw that there is posible to install other kernels like Perseus ,wich allows the use of Stweks.

is there anyway to solve this problem?

with mods,with kernel?? :silly:

jaja

thanks you so much for your constant help. :D:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] contrinsan:
i meanwhile also re-edited the other files. let me know if it works/doesn't work
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] contrinsan:
Cool, nice to hear the sound is louder on your device now :) so the other files might not be needed

Well, i never listen to earphones to be honest, but i have a senheiser (a cheap 50 dollar version) also so i am listening to a song at the moment, if i play at normal sound volume i cannot say i hear any distortion. i am using neutron music player, one of the few apps i bought for my phone because it has multiple settings for sound quality, it has a free trial version (and it also has an option to boost the speaker volume even more but with this mod it will sound distorted quite quickly)

Hi, I have tried all the files posted on this thread, but no one seems to make my sound louder :(

In the folder /system/etc/snd_soc_msm I have these files.

It's a I9505 with Omega v24 (kk 4.4.2). Thanks ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] contrinsan:
Every firmware seems to have different soundfiles lately ? :(

The easiest way to change volume is to do this : (i will explain for speaker, all the rest goes the same way)

1 Copy every file from the directory in your picture to your pc and open them all with notepad++ (you can do it directly on your phone with the built in editor from root explorer but it is much more easy to find everything when working on a pc)

2 search for 'speaker' (it is somewhere in the middle of every file) and after that look a little lower for 'digital volume' -> it will probably be somewhere around 66% by default

3 Change from (+/-) 66 to 70-75% depending on your wish to have louder or super loud speakers (don't go over 75% as it is very loud and might break your speaker !)

It is the same way for every sound option, search for the digital volume for the option you want to change (these parameters are somewhere in the middle of the files) and change from (+/-) 66 into 70 up to 75%

4 Once you have saved you must copy these files back to your phone and set permissions to rw-r-r and reboot to see if it worked.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] andreacos92:
Thank you very much for the support ;)

First of all, I did an other nandroid backup, then I deleted one by one the files in that directory (one file deleted -> reboot -> test audio ok), for finding the file that effectively drives the sound.

I was very lucky because I deleted 7 of the 9 files and all was OK; the 2 survivors were "snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3" and "snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3_auxpcm" (the 2 files I remember I had modified in 4.3 sound mod), then I deleted "snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3_auxpcm", reboot and bootloop :laugh:

Now, I'm restoring my /system folder from nandroid, then I'll try to edit these 2 files as you explain me and I'll let you know ;)

EDIT:

It seems that "snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3" is also needless. I deleted it and all it's ok, so the file that drives my sound should be only "snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3_auxpcm".

I opened it and the values are already on 71-72%, so I think it was already edited by Omega modders.. that's why I couldn't notice difference.

For now I leave just this file in the directory, just to verify that effectively it's enough.

The strange thing is that with 4.3 I had the ModerateBoost that should correspond to a value of 69% and I was satisfied.

Now, with the values at 71-72%, it seems no powerful like before... especially the ear-speaker during calls

(it is the SectionDevice "Handset", right? :D)

The "Extra Vol" corresponds to the louder sound when I tap on Extra Volume during a call?

If yes, I have the same value in "Handset" and in "Handset Extra Vol" :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Srmusico:
Hi! Contrisan, I have been researching about the sound, and i have found the problem (well, i think that is it the problem),

i said that i hear a kind of overcompressed audio, with incresing and decreasing of volume level at some song that have heavy mix.

i was searching some info and yes, this is a process of digital audio hifi devices named "NEGATIVE DIGITAL GAIN" , there is a configuration of the device, that is used when you have a song with a heavy mix (for example dance,electronic,dubstep,etc...) to calculate if the song its going to have a distorsion in some point of the song. if the phone "detect" a posible distorsion, decrease the volume level 1 or 2 dbs (discretely)...

I have been looking Siyah Kernel and Stweaks, and exactly, Stweaks have an option named negative digital gain, and there is disbled.

i tryied to put it enabled and yes,i hear the same sound like my s4 have now...

Do you know what can i do to disable it? :(

maybe some option in the snd_soc_msm files ?

:) thanks you so much !
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Srmusico:
here Stweaks capture:

View attachment 2617682

thanks ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] contrinsan:
Sorry m8 i cannot see a parameter that is called negative digital gain in any of your files, must be something kernel related, maybe you can ask in the topic from the kernel if the creator has a solution for this ?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Srmusico:
Im trying to contact the user Wanam who is the creator of Adam Kernel for the i9500 and some days ago the i9505.

i hope that he create a versión for my i9506. at least for audio, not necessary to overclocking or other things...

also, im trying to contact too Voodoo sound and Gokhanmoral...

Thanks you so much :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] andreacos92:
Hi ;)

after some tests, I have found a good balance for speaker and earset.

But I'm not happy with the volume of this speaker during calls.

I tried to increment the value of "Handset" and "Handset Extra Vol", but I noticed no improvements :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] devilsdouble:
Is there any app in Play to change the volume dB? I don't like to change them manually and test after each change.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] chape199:
Fauxsound but you need a custom kernel that support it

Enviado desde mi GT-I9505 mediante Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] devilsdouble:
There is no custom kernel for i9500 after KitKat release, so that app is pretty pointless anyway :o
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] andreacos92:
I found the lines and I was able to increment the volume during calls :laugh:

The concerned SectionDevice are "Call Handset", "Call Headset", "Call Speaker", "Call Speaker Extra Vol".

I raised up the values from 67 to 69 and the improvement is noticeable. Values higher than 70 will make the sound scatch
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] leboreiro:
does this makes distortion?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] andreacos92:
If you use values of 69-70, it makes no bad sound (in my case)

I am looking to use this however my snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 file a fair bit larger than the one to replace it.

Thoughts?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] devilsdouble:
When I was on Adam kernel I used to set the speaker amp at +4/+5, to get that same level of amplification what number should I use here? And I only want to amplify the speaker volume, not in call volume, not earpeice volume or anything else, which setting should I modify for that?

The phone's a i9500 btw.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] contrinsan:
Hi, search for

Name "Speaker"
Comment "Speaker Rx device"

and in this part check "digital volume" - 65% will be default and 75 will be very loud, i advise 71

Name "Speaker Extra Vol"
Also search for
Comment "Speaker Extra Vol Rx device"

and in this part check "digital volume" - 65% will be default and 75 will be Very loud, i advise 71 or 72
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] contrinsan:
Hi, it's best to have a look at it and to test search for 'speaker' and 'extra speaker' and change the digital volume to 71, save, set permissions to RW-R-R (important!) and after that reboot to test
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] devilsdouble:
Thanks sir. But could you tell me what's the path? I mean I can only see default_gain.conf file under system/etc. Where should I look exactly?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] contrinsan:
For most firmwares there is a directory called \system\etc\snd_soc_msm\

The files inside that directory change the volume
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] devilsdouble:
There's no directory like that for me sir.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] philly0128:
Hello and thank you for this thread,

I'm making some tweaks to mine to see if I can fix my low volume issue.

This maybe a strange thing but is there away to increase the vibration also? from my S3 it seem that it was much louder, for example if it's in my pocket or my jacket I could feel it. with the S4 i've missed several calls because I couldn't feel it in my pants pocket or jacket.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] oussama150an:

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] LuigiBull23:
You can always boost your volume steps in order to further reduce audio, which should make a significant difference. I have mine set at 60 steps and audio is perfect at low level volumes (e.g. 2%).

Just a suggestion.
