I can confirm this works on Android 7.0 build NRD90M for 5x
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] kojak1989:
so, no need to create a zip for Android 7.0 ? Is the same sound frequency ?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] dariett:
Which one is the dual mono? I didn't find it

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] AlabaMadafaka:
Which file do i have to download for nougat?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Nex23:
Dual mono V2 or 6.0.1 Suround Sound.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] dariett:
but his name is mixermod v2?

EDIT: i found it on page 35 :)
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Ozzy0708:
So, I know this is probably gonna sound silly, but let me tell you what my deal is.

I just got the Nexus 5X a few days ago. I pulled it out of the box and when I get a new phone, I always like to test the screen, the snappiness of it, and get an overall feel for the device. I absolutely loved everything about this phone. So, I gave it the speaker test, audio quality always being of fair importance when choosing a phone (I knew this phone wasn't gonna have quality all that great, and I knew it was gonna be a single speaker on the bottom). I was expecting the speaker to not sound to awful, but when I started playing some music on it, I was very, very disappointed. The speaker quality was absolutely horrific (first time I've ever said that about ANY smartphone). I figured since I was coming from a Moto X, that I'd just have to get used to it, but it was still bugging me, so I decided to root my phone and install this modification. I installed it, and now the speaker at the top (the earpiece) is playing and it sounds better than the loudspeaker!!! How??? It's a fair amount louder, actually has a bit of bass to it, etc. This leads me to wonder, folks....

Did LG by chance switch up the loudspeaker for the earpiece in my phone when they manufactured it?

I'm just curious as to what your guys' thoughts are on that.

This IS a great modification, though, by the way. I also have one question about it, and that's whether or not this will eat into my battery life???? Thanks!

---------- Post added at 09:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

NEVERMIND NEVERMIND NEVERMIND. I just did this "Left channel right channel test" on the phone and the earpiece most certainly does NOT sound better than the loudspeaker. With the stereo sound, it gave me the illusion that the top speaker sounded louder and better. I still would like to know whether this will drain battery or not though, thanks.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] dariett:
I use the dual mono mod and with arise sound mod sound even better. The important thing is to set the speaker optimisation in v4a.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Suren Manukyan:
Guys I've downloaded and flashed the dual mono zip from page 35. It works but how can I delete/disable it?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] kevtrysmoddin:
I just flash the revert to stock zip from the op
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Suren Manukyan:
From where?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] kevtrysmoddin:
The opening post
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Suren Manukyan:
I am running Android 7. Downloaded "revert to stock' for both 6.0.1 and 6.0 and with both of them get zip file is corrupt message. Any other way of removing it?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Nex23:
On the first Page there is the revert to Stock file.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Suren Manukyan:
Yeah my phone says both of them are corrupt
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Nex23:
What. did you flash it with twrp ?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Suren Manukyan:
Yes but I'm on Android N. Can it be cause of the problem?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Nex23:
No that's not the reason.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Suren Manukyan:
Then what? :(
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Suren Manukyan:
Here it is
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] CazeW:
Did you download it with Chrome on your phone? And if you did, check that data saver is off. Zip works fine downloaded with PC.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Suren Manukyan:
I downloaded to phone.. I'll try disabling data saver
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] yilun:
Download with a different browser, chrome and mediafire don't go well together.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Suren Manukyan:
I downloaded with data saver off and it worked. Thank you all :)
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] :
hello, is the dual mono v2 the latest zip? :)

if you are going to flash one i like the tweeter one most, but you can try all of them if u want to. I am using a snapshot version of CM and it works just fine :), stock kernel
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] borda01:
Will it work on 7.0?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] amkirk94:
Yes, it will.

For some reason he decided to not update the thread to confuse us... :confused:
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] borda01:
So, I need to flash version for 6.0.1?

There is no dedicated version for 7.0?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] dog121:
That's correct...
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] mr_park:
Can someone please post a link for the dual mono zip. I cannot find it in this thread.

Also is it worthwhile to have the ARISE mod with this dual mono speaker mod ?

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Naishkard:
I installed it while ago and it worked just fine

But I had to change Roms and when I try to install it with TWRP it says that it's corrupt ???

I've downloaded it 3 times and it's always corrupt

The 4 files are corrupt I think :confused:
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] aamadorj:
If you're downloading the mods on a mobile device, make sure you turn off Chrome Data Saver feature or your browser equivalent, as mentioned before at this thread.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Naishkard:
Thanks I posted that before reading the thread sorry, it's fixed now
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Vipauer:
First of all want to thank the creators of this mod.

Second I need to know if the LOUDER SURROUND SOUND 6.0.1 not damage the speakers and if is compatible with Nougat.

Thanks a lot.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Nex23:
No and Yes. Still, try dualmono V2.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Vipauer:
Thanks :good:

I'll go try this mod. ;)
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] ovu85:
hi, is it normal for the loudspeaker to sound harder than the earpiece?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] yilun:
Yes, if you want to balance them check the first post and change the value to RX1 - 89 and RX7 - 84.

That's what I have and it sounds pretty good tbh, not perfect, some buzzing when the volume is at max, but seems perfect otherwise.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Predatorhaze:
i tried but got no sound at all
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] ovu85:
Thanks! i've found a easier solution by installing trickstermod>specific>speaker gain>-9 seemed to me that sound great!
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] ovu85:
Hi, after i've adjusted the loudspeaker volume with tricksterMod i unninstalled the app and now i have no sound at all!

The phone rings and i hear music in headsets but no sound from speakers.

I've reflashed DU rom, wiped everything and flashed all back, even flashed vendor but didn't worked.

Any solutions?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] yilun:
Wow... Have you tried reinstalling the app and reset the settings? Maybe flash stock?

IMO just changing the values is easier than mods and kernel tweaks, etc.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] ovu85:
Flash stock is my last option but i'll have to do it...

I've flashed stock sound but didn't work
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Vipauer:
Try install stock image of N from google dev page...
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Skatersev:
Thanks for the work on this! I tried flashing the 6.0.1 louder file onto my Nexus 5x but I don't notice a difference. Does anyone else have this problem?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Nex23:
Maybe try the other one (go Stock before)
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Carach_CZ:
Is this compactible with N?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Skatersev:
Oh yeah, I forgot there were two versions.

A side question: are these files the so-called "dualmono v2" files that get recommended to try online in various places? Or is that another mod?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Nex23:
It's another mod, it can be found on page 35. It is the best and also for Nougat.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Skatersev:
Any thoughts as to why this isn't working on my Nexus 5x with 7.0? Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Nex23:
Pleeeeaaase do not quote the whole ****ing post.

I have no idea, flashing with TWRP should work.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] ovu85:
I've got my sound back after flashing N image and downgraded to 6.0.1

The sound ia excellent again!
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Skatersev:
So it wasn't working for you either when you tried on 7.0?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] yilun:
It was, but he tried balancing the sound from both speakers and they went completely mute.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Midomad:
So guys i wonder if it's safe since you already tested the mod?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] yilun:
Its not safe, there is always a chance that your speaker might blow since you're using it at a higher volume than it is made for.

Regardless, I haven't heard of a single case of a n5x speaker blowing because of this mod, and even if it blows, you can buy a replacement for 5 bucks or so, doesn't hurt to try :p
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] kojak1989:

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Skatersev:
Yes.

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] yilun:
Try manually replacing "mixer_paths.xml" in system/etc with the one provided in the zip.

Is it safe to use Dualmonov2 ? Won't damage the earpiece right ?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] hilla_killa:
It might your using the speaker at higher volume than which it was designed for, although i haven't seen any reports of fried speakers. If so there like $5 for a new one. Do with that info what you will! Read the thread youll learn alot! Your ? Has been asked and answered many many many times

Hi friends,

I come here to ask two things...

What is the difference between the MOD of friend sshafranko - LOUDER SURROUND SOUND 6.0.1...and the MOD of friend Jose-MXL - DualMonoV2.

Thanks to the two programmers for work that make by well of community...

And

Will I get OTA updates after this?!
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] CazeW:
Yes, as you will either need to flash the file which requires custom recovery or replace the file manually which requires root.

No, as with this you've modified the system.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] yilun:
Actually, that's not completely true. There haven't been any documented cases of speakers blowing because of this mod, but it could always happen, since youre using it at a much higher volume than it was made for.

If i read right, i cannot adjust the headphone volume without adjusting the speaker volume right? If i can adjust the headphone volume what are the values located and also i can't use a custom kernel at the moment because I'm using 7.1.1. and using a custom kernel breaks the camera.

I found that 89 for RX1 and 84 for RX7 works best, minimal distortion on top speaker and decent volume.

I uploaded a file with these changes to my drive.

Lower a bit the bottom and raised (I think) the top one according to the louder mod.

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] sshafranko:
Try this. .just please make sure you have a back up. Messing with mixer_paths can soft brick you where you would have to restore a backup. Also let me know if it works please. Ty
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] reddv1:
It works! I just tested it on notifications and phone ringtones. Sound distorts pretty quikly as you raise the value. I tried 90 at first, and I had a great volume increase but distorts at high pitched tones and at the end of the tone I got noise.

87 seams like the sweet spot with good increase in volume and minimal distortion. 86, would be best for no distortion but an OK increase in volume.

Thanks again for your help.

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

One observation using the surround sound mod is during a left right speaker test, the right speaker test plays out of the main speaker(right) but also from the headset speaker(left) at a reduced volume. On the left speaker test, sound only comes out of the headset speaker(left) only as it should. That might be part of the reason the sound from the main speaker is loader, as others gave reported, but also different types of speakers also contributes to the issue.

Also if the left right can be reversed in another mod, that would be great.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] parthabhatta:
Wonderful Mod. Thanks. [MENTION=5108383]sshafranko[/MENTION].

A suggestion- Can the main speaker volume be lowered down at par with calling speaker, so that the sound balance is right. In this case the overall sound will reduce but the stereo imaging will be perfect. Just my way of thinking.

Edit : Did this. Installed ElementalX - Reduced sound gain of speaker by -20. Now output from both speakers match with perfect stereo imaging. The output is much lower though. But I am loving this achievement.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] sshafranko:
You can use Viper to bring it back up to where you like it now that both speakers are close to balanced to your ears...
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] parthabhatta:
[MENTION=5108383]sshafranko[/MENTION]

Thanks. Yeah thinking of trying Viper. But afraid that so many sound mods (ElementalX SoundMod, Yours SurroundMod & Viper) may break and deteriorate sound instead of improving it. Your opinion in this regard is appreciated. BTW waiting for some Viper reviews in the thread recently opened today by [MENTION=2551438]necoritol[/MENTION]
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] sshafranko:
Well what exactly does elementalx sound do? My mod basically turns on the upper speaker no other changes other then Volume which is up to you anyway. I thought you only adjusted the fade with x no? I wish i had the phone so i could test myself and workout a nice sound but no go yet, hopefully next week..

So anyway my mod turns on upper speaker, use x to adjust fade for some balance, then use Viper to adjust sound quality, i prefer using the dolby pro logic settings in convolver setting (seem to get the best sound)...really think youll be fine. I do very similar on my note 5 and its been great so far especially using my external bluetooth and wired speakers...
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] sshafranko:
When you user viper see if you have these: (see pic) if not i have a zip you can extract them all and place them in the Viper folder on sd and after reboot they all appear in viper under Convolver...let me know when you get there. ..
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] parthabhatta:
Elemental x has got four controls in sound menu.

1. Lock sound - for locking the settings I change, I presume. I have enabled this.

Three more user manageable settings.

1. Control speaker gain - default 0, I have changed it to -20.

2. Mic gain - default 0, left unchanged.

3. Camcorder mic - same as point 2.

What I am afraid of is v4a by necoritol is a zip file which will overwrite audio_policy.conf in system/etc. and busybox in system/xbin. And both the files being replaced are different in sizes from the original one which are presently installed.

If I install v4a ( which I expect to do not before tomorrow) I will ask the convolver files from you. I have a few of them but I am not having the prologic one.

One more thing which I have planned is I will copy the default files and make a "RESTORE ORIGINAL" zip in case something goes wrong.

Hope your 5x comes soon.

Attaching both the audio_policy.conf files, identifiable by tags after file names. You can scan them and let us know about your observations.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Ramocity:
Is this mod safe for the hardware? Couldn't this make the speaker more susceptible to blowing out?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] sshafranko:
Yea of course it could. Your taking a speaker which is being used for in call audio only and now using it for music, videos, ringtine, notification tone, etc..i have been doing this mod for 2 years across guessing around 20 different phones and variants and havent herd of 1 speaker blow out yet. If it does i posted a pic of a new speaker on ebay i think it was around $5.50. Gues you have to way it out and see if its worth the risk for you. It will be different for all...some may not watch any vids or listen to any music on their phone using the external speakers and for those people they really dont need this unless they want a loud ringtone and noti sound.

Its all up to you the user to decide. Any time you use a speaker or anything for that matter more then it was intended to be used, the risk of damage will be higher. Just common sence really.
