Reverse Stereo??

Title says all.

I have my Nexus 5X in the landscape orientation where the power and volume rocker are facing up, towards the sky.

Right channel comes out from the earpiece (top) speaker, and the Left channel comes out of the main (bottom) speaker.

How do I reverse this, so Left is earpiece, and Right is main?

Can I change this through the mixer file?

:mad: :fingers-crossed:

Hey guys im a bit confused with all these mods and zips.

Im currently running Lineage 15.1 (android 8.1) with ElementalX kernel and have NO magisk installed.

I want to make the upper speaker work and give the sense of stereo speaker. Which zip should i flash?

Also what is the Dual Mono V2 zip? Is it different from the surround sound?

Also what about the stereo mic?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] CazeW:
If you want the sense of real stereo, the surround sound version. It won't obviously be real stereo as the top speaker is a lot quieter than the bottom one. DualMonoV2 is just what the name says, it plays the same sound from both speakers giving you a bit more volume and kinda the sense of stereo. Stereo mic is that the phone will use both microphones when recording audio and video (with increased bitrate). Normally the phone only records in mono.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] milouk:
Alright so DualMonoV2 sounds more interesting...where can i find the latest zips? Also are there any requirements for these zips? Do i have to have Magisk?

You have three versions to choose from. Regular (flashes the files to system, no requirements), systemless for SuperSU (both old and SBIN mode) and Magisk (old and v15+). If you aren't rooted, use the regular one.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] :
Thanks for creating the Magisk module! Is there any chance we might see it appear on the repo in the future?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] CazeW:
Probably not, as none of these mods are my work. I've merely repacked them.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] fleischbanane:
[MENTION=1346563]CazeW[/MENTION] can you please update the Magisk modules to v16, or will v15 have no disadvantages?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] CazeW:
As far as I know, the template didn't change with v16 so you can use the v15 just fine.

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] simonkerr:
Hi all, I've been using this mod for some time now and just noticed this week that all my videos captured on the nexus 5x have stereo sound but the right channel is a lot louder than the left. I obviously didn't notice this when playing them on the phone's speakers but on an external device I do and it sounds terrible. Has anyone else experienced this? I find it strange it's not mentioned anywhere. I apologise if it has already been covered somewhere but I can't find any mention of it.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] CazeW:
Are you sure you didn't just cover one of the mics with your hand? Did a quick test and didn't notice the right channel being any louder with headphones and waveform looks equally loud as well.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] simonkerr:
Thanks for taking the time to verify that. No I definitely didn't cover the mic, I've even taken the covers off to make sure everything is clean and the mic isn't blocked by dust or anything. I'm not sure what the problem could be but I can now discard the mod being the culprit.

I just switched from this mod to yours after some problems of it that won't let the speaker work on PE build Jan 25, 2019(which is the latest by the time I post this). I downloaded the v6.0.1 louder and It worked, but it wasn't balanced. Therefore, I decided to modify the mixer_path file a little bit. I reduced the RX7(main speaker) to 84, flashed the zip and it was perfectly balanced. But that's not it. I tested it lot and noticed that the speaker are in the wrong position (in portrait mode and landscape mode. In landscape mode, I hold the top with my left hand and the bottom of the phone with my right hand). Could you please adjust it correctly or let me know how to adjust it?

I attached the one I balanced in the attachment.

Thanks in advanced

Edit: Aslo, here is the test I used: Link

Edit2: I tested some more sound mods like Dual mono and tweeter, all of them are also reverted. Apparently, it can be due to my phone or due to so weird problems.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] CLPose:
Hi! So, is this zip file a TWRP Flashable mod? Can we flash it over the previous versions to have our N5X balanced, reverted, and louder? Or you're still waiting for a solution for the mics order? Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] vdhero:
The zip is flashable and you can flash it over since what I changed are just the values of the volume. You can flash over the previous version. I'm trying to figure it out, I'll post the solution here as soon as I find a way to change the order. Right now, I also have a Xperia Z5 and the Z5 has dual speaker so I'm trying to do some tweaking to work like the Z5.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] TedsterTech:
Seems to work well for me with the current Pixel Experience build. I'm using the 'louder surround sound' setting.

On a scale of 1-10. How hard is this?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] szucsgf:
Well that depends on your experience level. If you're bootloader unlocked with a custom recovery then it's super easy, like a 1 or 2. But if Android modding is totally new to you it can probably seem intimidating and you'll need to do some research.

From completely stock Nexus 5X the steps are:

1. Unlock bootloader (this will wipe your phone)

2. Install custom recovery (TWRP)

3. Install ("flash") this mod.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] gingus7:
Sounds not to bad, I'll give it a try tonight.

There's definitely some work involved. If you've never done it before I'd maybe put it at a 5 on the difficulty scale. You just need to be comfortable with a computer and to follow the steps.

No. Sorry to say the same problem exists. Sort of wavy distorted reproduction. Moreover, the volume control does not work properly too. The volume reduction is not commensurate with the control and at level just above zero it's still pretty loud and completely goes off when further reduced to bill.

Would have been easier if you had the device. Even then hopefully you will be able you sort out.

How do you save the changes you made in Ex Kernel Manager? I've pressed the power logo next to each settings and it's blue but whenever I reboot, the settings revert back to the original.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] jayanath:
Hi

Did you use stock recovery and adb sideload to install this zip
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] parthabhatta:
[MENTION=5108383]sshafranko[/MENTION]

Discovered something about the problem. I use EX kernel which has sound customisation. By default the headphone gain is set at zero and playing with this control it changes the sound level of these top speaker too.

Now with headphone gain set at zero the sound through earphone is loud wavy and distorted but sound through top speaker is good and your mod works well. If I go on lowering the headphone gain in EXKM app, the sound through headphone becomes smooth and distortion free the best at the minimum setting of -30, but at -30, the sound through top speaker is nil and your mod suffers. So i think that there is some conflict with EX kernel.

Guys, as normal speaker volume is higher then upper one, couldn't be lowered e little?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] sshafranko:
Well first of all they are two totally different speakers you cant expect them to sound the same. One is made so that your ear has to be on it to hear it the other your ear away. Try putting your ear on both. Secondly by the time you get them to a similar volume the main speaker would be too low to hear. Finally i havent tried on this phone but on 3 other phones i tested on after lowering the main speaker volume below the stock value, phones bootlooped. In conclusion you can leave the main speaker at the stock volume which i think is 84 if im not mistaken, and raise the earpiece speaker as high as you can before it breaks up. Thats pretty much as close to equality as you can get it. Sry
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] peikojose:
I dont know why i cannot lower it. I opened mixer path file, searched for RX1 and changed everything to 60.. Saved and rebooted... And nothing.. Why is that? Could you help me? Which section is about the call volume? Headset? Best regards

Left and Right Channels Reversed?

This may be a matter of personal preference but when I use my phone in landscape mode, I turn it to the left, orienting the volume and power buttons on top. In this configuration, it appears that the sides are reversed. Program audio routed to the right comes out of the earpiece and audio routed to the left comes out of the main speaker. Does anyone else think this should be reversed?

Other than that- very cool mod! Besides the limitations in frequency response between the two speakers, this is a great option to get stereo out of a mono phone :)
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] gpvecchi:

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] sshafranko:

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] chdloc:
Just popping in to help out with a few questions/requests that I've seen (I don't have a Nexus 5x to test). So here is what I can contribute to this thread:

to swap left and right channels exchange

<ctl name="RX7 MIX1 INP1" value="RX1" />
<ctl name="RX1 MIX1 INP1" value="RX2" />

with

<ctl name="RX1 MIX1 INP1" value="RX1" />
<ctl name="RX7 MIX1 INP1" value="RX2" />

followed by a reboot.

Frequency responses of the two speakers can be tweaked individually with this mod. Note that this mod has been originally designed for headphone compensation. Recently I extended it to also allow for asymmetric speaker compensation. However, in that mode it is still very rough, so perhaps only an FYI at this point for most users. It does work, though. Also, I would need an experienced Nexus 5x user to help with with some testing for this device. Shoot me a PM if you interested.

Gains ("RXA Digital Volume", where A={1,7}) can be set to any allowable value (min=0 max=124, 0dB=84) on my Nexus 5 without a problem. Try using the tinymix_lollipop binary from the second post of my Qualcomm filter mod (above link) to change the gains on-the-fly. Unpack the archive, copy it to /system/bin, and make executable (744). As root you can then change gains while music is playing as follows

tinymix "RXA Digital Volume" B

where A=1 or A=7 and B is any allowable value (see above, but be careful with anything higher than 84 as it may introduce distortions). This may not work if you are running a custom kernel that allows for sound control as some of you have already reported. If tinymix does work for you, there is no reason why you should not be able to hard code any allowable value in your mixer_paths.xml file.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] zakoda:
Awesome! :thumbup:

Works on cm13 bullhead (6.0.1)

Only 1 problem: when a call is received, the earpiece speaker goes all out and gives a very bad sound. Had to reduce my system volume and now I can't use full volume.

Please remove it for system volume and keep it on for only media volume.!

Does this mod break Android pay?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] iPwn_:
Probably. You can try to get around that by creating a folder in /su/ called "su.d". So the path is /su/su.d/

Then create a file in it with whatever name you want, like 0000soundmod.script.

Then add the line: "mount -o bind /su/etc/mixer_paths.xml /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml;" without the quotes.

Then paste the modified mixer_paths from OP into /su/etc/ (you have to make the /etc/ folder there).

Reboot.

Let me know if it works.
