Here is a Samsung S4 rooted phone with Stockware from samsung, android 5.0.1, who is also left out. I got it to work on an xperia z2 android 5.1.1 non rooted.

Does the version have anything to say? Or the rooting?

[General Topics] Elements1984:
This has been tested by me and I confirm that it's working on:

Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 (Jellybeans 4.3 stock rom, Kitkat 4.4.x and lollipop 5.x.x various custom roms)

Sony Xperia Z1 (stock lollipop 5.x.x)

I never tested this on ICS or previous android versions, but it should work if there is an mixer_paths.XML file ;)

Happy modding and feel free to post if you have further questions, I will be more than happy to help.

Please no questions related to what values you should set to your device, this is impossible to answer if you have a different device than mine, obviously I don't own every device out there to experiment with :p

Very clear and well explained......One thing to mention......

I had a look in the system directory for the file (and found it)......it's in a directory that my file explorer classes as 'read only'.......

Not sure if it's necessary to change it to 'read/write' before you start?.......

[General Topics] Elements1984:
Welcome Keithross39 :) Glad you joined my thread :D

I don't know what file manager you're using, but I have never had issues or warning messages (about read/write requirements) using Es File Explorer. I don't think it would harm anything if you turned the file from "Read-Only" to "Read and Write". Alternatively, you could just copy the file to another directory, then edit the parameters you wish to adjust (boost) using a note editor and save, then you can paste the edited file on the same folder and you will be asked by your file manager whether you wish to replace the file or add a copy, just select to replace and it should be it, then you can just restart the phone and see if there is an improvement on the things you modified (headset, speaker, microphone, bluetooth headset, alarms, or anything else you edited).

If you encounter a problem, just place the original (untouched) file back to that folder and overwrite, restart and you're back to stock values.

PS: For a louder sound, I don't recommend using apps from the play store because they give false claims, they just compress your sound to make it sound louder but you lose the quality, on the top of that you may get bugs or shorter battery life if the app is running in the background. My trick doesn't require any app (other than your usual file manager and note editor) and the results are cleaner louder sound with a stable system, and these modifications will not use any additional resources (cpu or ram) since this is part of the native boot process.

On what device are you planning to boost your sound? If you wish, try posting your mixer_paths.xml file here and I will see if I can edit it to suite your needs (specify what you wish to boost in your reply) ;)

I currently use Viper4Android with a 6 db gain boost (the maximum boost the app allows) across both speaker and headphones for alarm volume, and music/videos (headphone and speaker)

I am really happy that your sound is better, I wasn't sure how viper4android works and I wasn't sure combining it with the mod will be giving any improvement over the already boosted sound from the mod alone, but I am glad it worked fine :)

The crazy wife stole all my time this weekend, I lost hope on rooting my S5, now I'm jealous that you have the mod and I don't :p hahaha, just kidding. I am truly glad that you have it boosted, I will let you know when I get my S5 rooted, perhaps I will enquire some tips from you regarding what ported apps I shouldn't miss ;)

Till then, have fun in Oxford ;)

volume boost speaker and headphone z3c

thanks for the tecnical explication

i want volume boost speaker and headphone in my z3 compact whit 4.4 but have mooore value in the xml file help me please
[General Topics] Elements1984:
Hello and thank you for reading my article :)

I will try to help you as much as I can but you will possibly have to edit the values on your own to set how loud you like your sound to be. Also, I don't have the same phone, so I can't do more than assist you.

So here is a mod for the z3c on lollipop which I advise you to download in order to have an idea of the values you can change and up to what limit. I can not say whether or not this mod keeps a good sound quality when getting a boost simply because I don't own an Xperia Z3c device to try it, sorry about that, but people reported that it was loud and clear.

https://mega.nz/#!b8M1xQ4I!Twhozp_4XZhMgFlgSPkkc9QZCpIony0K0fjtKzdlyfQ

If it was up to me, I would NOT use the lollipop file from the Z3c directly on a kitkat rom because there might be a very slight difference which would make something not work at some point. What I mean is that the mod might work to bring your volume louder when listening to music, but then in a month you decide to skype with someone and you will not get any sound, you will be wondering why and you will possibly not think that it's due to the mod.

This mod has parameters written in a case-sensitive text, each line is linking an instruction to something specific either in the software or the hardware level. If a line is missing or has values unsupported by your device, you will have a particular parameter which may not work at all, or worse case senario is that you get no sound at all. This can be reverted if you just backed up your original sound mixer file.

What I would do:

I would download the lollipop boosted sound mixer file for the Z3c from the link I provided above, open it in a text editor. Extract the same file from the folder system/etc of your phone and open it in a text editor.

Now you have the two files side by side, you can compare the lines and the values, you can then copy the values from the lollipop file and paste them on the file you extracted from your phone. Make sure you only copy/paste the numbers, as they represent the values, don't modify the text.

Once you finish this, you can save your edited file (don't change the name of it), and paste it to system/etc on your phone. Reboot and voila, you have the mod on your phone, 100% guaranteed to be compatible and will not cause you any bugs in the future, unlike if you used any Mod.

Could you please report if it worked for you?

Also, if it works for you, you will be the creator of a z3c kitkat sound boost mod, feel free to post it here so that people with your device and rom can benefit from it ;)

[General Topics] Elements1984:
I also found this thread which seems to have the boosted file for the z3 (not compact) on kitkat. You can unzip the archive and find the mixer_paths.xml file, open it side by side with the file you extracted from your phone and copy paste the corresponding numbers (values) without altering the text.

thanks for help i use this for compare ( http://www.corefiling.com/opensource/xmldiff.html) and have many difference but i only mod in my file the value 84\95 other i dont know......its correct ?
[General Topics] Elements1984:
I had a look at your original file and the one which I shared with you earlier and it seems the main differences are the 84 which was increased to 95. In my opinion, this is too much and will result in a loss of quality. As I explained in my first post, changing the value with +3 will double the volume, therefore I would advise you to try changing your values from 84 to 87 in the first place, save and put the file on the right directory, reboot and listen to something other than hard rock and see if the volume is loud enough. If you are almost happy, try changing the values to 88 or 89. If you feel you are still not satisfied, continue increasing the values but keep in mind that every increase you do will generate further distortion which degrades the quality, at some point you will hear it even if you are not a sound engineer.

Also, you may not want to boost everything and rather just boost the headphone volume for music, then try to leave the default parameters for everything except the headphones that you can set to your preference.

Thank you for providing the link to the tool to compare 2 files, it looks useful and I will possibly use it in the future.

Let me know what is the best value in your opinion, and try to share the file so that others benefit from it ;)

I download another sound mod for z3c for lollipop extract and compare in this mod the value is 125.......now i try increase over 100 but 125 is very high.....

Sorry for my english im italian ?

[General Topics] Elements1984:
He he he, don't worry about your English, I think most people managed to understand ;)

I am sorry if the boost was not loud enough for you, but it's not really a problem since you can change the values to higher numbers and get the loudness you want :)

It looks like the values in the Z3c are different from the Z1 and that's why I can not give you exact numbers, but you can try a setting of 100 and see if it suits your needs. You can then try 110 and decide if you want louder with 115 or want to go lower with 105 :)

I hope it works out well for you and that everyone can learn from your experiment ;)

Hello , I have just found and read your thread , I am not an average programmer or nothing but lately I have been trying everything I have read about boosting sound on my Z1 compact , sometimes I have edited mixer_paths , but always changing RX , never HPH... , could you please let me know where can I find them please ??? Usually I have changed RX in

<path name="speaker"> , <path name="speaker-mic"> , <path name="headphones"> & <path name="headset-mic"> , shall I change HPH here also or on some other line also please ????

Thanks
[General Topics] Elements1984:
Hello Rafaru and sorry for the late reply, I had a very busy week =)

I think you just haven't seen the part of the text that mentions the HPHL and HPHR because it is there, I recommend you use the option of word search when using your note editor and look for HPH

Also, for the headset HPH setting, I believe you will find it in <path name="headphones">

This will only affect the headset, so make sure you modify other paths following your needs.

If you find values like 19 or 18 or even less, change them to 20 to get the optimal setting. Sometimes you get values like 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 which I believe are not related, therefore I wouldn't recommend changing these.

I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy S5 and don't own a Z1C, but I went on another post to get an unmodified version of the mixer_paths file of a Z3C where I found the HPH settings for various audio components on the device, I have made a Screenshot of the part related to the headphones, notice that the setting is at 19 which is equivalent to 95% of the output power, this is the factory setting. You can change it to 20 in order to reach the 100% without losing anything in quality.

I think there might also be some sort of Master Output Setting somewhere (maybe kn the beginning of the file) that is also set to HPH 18 or 19 which can also be responsible for the low volume, try to search for each HPH and experiment with it to get the optimal setting. If I owned the device, I would be more than happy to experiment myself and help you further.

If you have other questions, please feel free to ask and I will assist you as much as I can :)

Please let us know what you did and the results, so that other members can benefit from your research /work /experiment ;)

And if my answer helped you, a little click on the "thank you" button will be appreciated :)

Hi Elements1984 , I followed your guide , I changed HPH both to 20 and RX up to 86 (it was on 83) , sound is much better now , more powerful , more volume but no quality loss (as far as I am able to detect it of course) , I would like a little more volume but I am not confident on doing any more changes

Many Thanks for your help
[General Topics] Elements1984:
Hello Rafaru :)

I am glad to read that you managed to get a decent boost without affecting the quality ;)

Don't be scared to boost the RX a bit further, you can try 88 or 89 which will for sure give you a louder sound, just see if you will notice the loss in quality. Personally, I have been working in the music industry for 16 years and my ears can usually head stuff that other people don't notice, so anything more than RX 86 sounded distorted to my ears, but you may be just fine going up to 88 if you are not an audiophile person like me ;)

By the way, I read of some people increasing the HPH beyond 20 which curiously decreased the loudness, I can not explain the reason why it behaves this way. What I mean is that HPH 20 is louder than HPH 21 and that's why I don't recommend you to try anything over 20.

One last thing I wish to add here is that from what I experienced, if you have rooted devices and you unleash the power of the sound cards, I noticed that Samsung is much louder than Sony, I compared a Samsung Galaxy S3 set at HPH 20 and compared it to a Sony Xperia Z1 set at HPH 20 and both phones had the RX set at the same value and I used the same headphones on both (swapping), I was disappointed to see that the sound coming out from the Sony was much lower than the Samsung, I had to boost the RX of the Sony to match the volume of the Samsung, but then I lost the quality on the Sony while the sound was perfectly clear on the Samsung. I haven't tried with other brands but I look forward to make further testing once I root my Galaxy S5 :)

Thank you for letting us know what was the best setting for you, I am sure it will help other people ;)

If you have other questions related to sound, even next year with your next device, feel free to ask here :)

Hi Eelements1984

I just want to change my headphone volume. You were talking about a possible master output setting declared somewhere.

The 2 screenshots are showing parts of my mixer file.

Which rx value must I change at the headphone part of the file? Both rx1 and rx2. Hph values are set really low by sony.

At the beginning of the mixer file are many strings set.
[General Topics] motorazrv3:
What a difference! Night and day between the old and new values.

20/85 personally was a little to much on my soul sl 300 headphones.

I am now on 18/84 compared to standard 15/82.

My phone is a xperia z1 with latest android 5.1.1 216 firmware.
[General Topics] Elements1984:
Thank you for reporting, I am really glad that you got the desired sound levels :)

In my opinion, you should set the HPH to 20 no matter what, then you can decrease or increase the RX values to your wishing, this way you have the best possible sound. Another thing I used to do with my Xperia Z1 is to have the HPH at 20 and boost the RX to 86, then when I play a song I set the volume on the player to the " - 1 level from the maximum", this gives me the room to get a +1 volume that I can use when a song on my playlist is slightly less loud than the others, this makes it feel like all my songs will have the same volume, even the badly ripped ones.

My equalizer is usually set to -2 db around the 1 kHz and makes a curve back to 0 db starting from 12 or 16 kHz and up to 20 kHz (depending on the headset I use), and the lows (bass) is set at -1 db at 400 Hz, 0 db at 250 Hz, +1 db at 120 Hz and 0 to + 2 on 65 Hz (depending on the type of music). With such a setting, you will suck a bit of the mid frequencies, which allows you to bring more focus on the sound clarity as well as a better punch for the bass, therefore you might want to get your HPH to 20 and the RX to 85 or 86 ;)

Are you planning on making some experiments with the (assumed) Master Volume? :)

Looking forward to your feedback ;)
