No, you're missing the point. Or are you saying the terrible sound quality stock phones kick out nine times out of ten is the natural sound you're after? If you're after a flat, non-equalised sound V4A can provide that, at a far superior quality than what you would get by default.

Use gonemad.. unreal sound on exynos model
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Willyman:
See that's what I don't understand and I've yet to hear an explanation for... How is V4A supposed to improve sound quality if no equalization is applied?

When I measure the output of smartphones, their frequency response is typically really rather flat. The DAC just receives PCM data and turns it into an analog signal. What is V4A supposed to do that improves the PCM data?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Beefheart:
It's effectively a better driver for the hardware. You can apply all the bass, treble and various other frequency amplifications and adjustments you want with it, but it's not obligatory. By default it simply allows amplification of low volume hardware and sound improvement.

Before writing it off people really need to properly try it out.

That's why HTC will stay the best for audiophiles, with the A9 audio quality and volume output never felt do good on a smartphone.

Samsung can have the best screen but audio is for HTC
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dodgeboy:
I understand that the car situation is different (and more noticeable). However, I notice it with all of my regular listening headphones, which are all relatively low impedance:

Yamaha HPH-MT220: 37 Ohm

AKG K7XX: 62 Ohm

Grado SR80i: 37 Ohm

None of those are high enough impedance to require an external amp. I don't know what the impedance is of the aux input in my truck, but I've never noticed anything like this on any phone I've had before (Galaxy S3, S4, LG G3, G4, V10). Sure some of them had low output and I had to increase the volume on the stereo to compensate, but I've never heard the EQ change like this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] chdloc:
May I ask a favor: Could someone with the Qualcomm model please post the mixer_paths.xml file? It sits in /system/etc/

Just looked at the kernel driver for the WCD9335 and I'm interested in how Samsung sets it up. I noticed two settings in the codec that may contribute to sub-optimal audio reproduction.

Edit: There may be another 6 dB of gain that can be applied via the mixer. [MENTION=6905437]Willyman[/MENTION] measured the maximum output voltage into a 16 Ohm load as 360 mV (around -9 dBV) while the output impedance of the codec/amp is 5.6 Ohm. As a result, the maximum "unloaded" (very high impedance load) output voltage of the headphone jack is close to -6 dBV. Depending on how exactly the amp built into the WCD9335 codec is configured, the maximum achievable "unloaded" output voltage should actually be very close to 1V. That's why I think there is another 6 dB of gain on the table.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Willyman:
That is odd. As I said, I could not find these changes your speak of objectively or subjective.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dodgeboy:
Here's my copy of mixer_paths.xml. However, since I've used the adapt sound feature, I'm not sure if these values are default. Also, since I don't have root (SD 820 in the US), I can't modify this file even if it could be modified to fix this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] chdloc:
Thanks for the file!

I'm a little confused, though, as its contents is more indicative of the WCD9330 (Snapdragon 810) codec kernel driver being used rather than the one for the WCD9335 (Snapdragon 820) codec. Would it be possible for you, or anybody else on this thread with the Qualcomm version, to execute the following command in an adb shell (or Terminal app) and post the result?

find /sys/module -name '*snd*' ; find /sys -name 'codec*' | grep msm

The result will let us know what kernel driver is actually being used.

Once root is obtained I'd suggest trying to turn off the Compander by removing

<ctl name="COMP1 Switch" value="1" />

in the "headphone" device in mixer_paths.xml (line 1634). This may allow for 6 dB more of (analog) gain to be applied. There are a few other things that you could try, but it would require root as well.

I really don't think that the codec/amp itself is poor. I've measured the WCD9320 used in my Nexus 5 extensively and other than the left-channel distortion problem at mid to high analog gains (which can be fixed) it did not see anything remarkable. What is true, though, is that many codecs/mixers are not setup correctly for best possible audio quality and that some codecs simply do not pair well with certain headphones. I'm currently using fairly high-end dynamic (not balanced armature) IEMs and, provided all parameters being equal (not trivial to ensure!), I'm hard pressed to declare a winner in terms of sound quality between my Nexus 5, iPhone 5s, and 2013 MacBook Pro when doing blind (!) tests. It is very important to remember that without doing blind tests, so-called "confirmation bias" is extremely difficult to overcome. Also it is useful to note that the headphones themselves are the weakest link in a modern audio reproduction chain, followed by the amplifier and analog circuit design. The codec itself is way down the list.

Other than -- sometimes critical -- headphone/amplifier pairing I would point my finger at Samsung trying to be overly fancy with audio processing at the Android level.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] chdloc:
Interesting. This tells me that the (built-in) kernel modules for both WCD9330 (snd_soc_wcd9330) and WCD9335 (snd_soc_wcd9335) are loaded. However, the "tasha" in "msm8996-tasha-snd-card" points to only the WCD9335 being used as referenced in the kernel driver sources, e.g. here. Samsung may not have set up the codec correctly. For example, matching the mixer_paths.xml file with the kernel sources suggests that the compander is active only in the left headphone channel.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
help?

You sound like you can help, I'm trying to raise the headphone volume on my S7E sd820 sm-g9350. I've tried playing with all the values but no change. I've attached the 4 mixer_paths.xml files. Can you tell me what I have to change to max the headphone volume? I'm using it for my Jeep speakers 3.5mm jack.

Dave :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] chdloc:
The file you need to modify is mixer_paths_tasha.xml. In there, look for the following code snippet:

<path name="headset">
<path name="ear"/>
<ctl name="COMP1 Switch" value="1"/>
<ctl name="COMP2 Switch" value="1"/>
<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="20"/>
<ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="20"/>
<ctl name="RX1 Mix Digital Volume" value="76"/>
<ctl name="RX2 Mix Digital Volume" value="76"/>
</path>

<path name="headset-44.1">
<path name="ear-44.1"/>
<ctl name="COMP1 Switch" value="1"/>
<ctl name="COMP2 Switch" value="1"/>
<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="20"/>
<ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="20"/>
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="76"/>
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="76"/>
</path>

The analog gain, "HPHL/R Volume" is already maxed out at 20. You can safely raise the various "Digital Volume" entries by 8 dB to 84 without adding any distortion. Beyond 84 (likely up to 124!), it will get louder, but you will progressively increase non-linear distortion. I personally also turn off the compander (set the "COMP1/2 Switch" entries to 0). The compander, a non-linear component, is supposed to increase dynamic range. I fail to see why it would make sense to enable this on a modern codec.

Note that you will need to reboot your phone after making any changes to the mixer file.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] drummerman:
You really are better off adding an outboard DAC/amplifier such as the dragonfly from audioquest if you take headphone listening really serious.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Thank you! That did it! You are awesome!!! ::):)

Dave!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] chdloc:
I disagree with this general statement. True, some amplifiers and headphones do not work well together due to the high output impedance of a fair number of integrated DACs/amps in combination with some hard-to-drive low-impedance headphones that have highly frequency-dependent phase responses. Other than that, in many other cases, it comes down to attainable playback levels, especially with higher-impedance headphones. Keep in mind that most people think that louder sounds better.

As anecdotal evidence, I'm using a pair of high-end dynamic in-ear monitors that have a ruler-flat phase response (Sennheiser IE800). When listening to the same file at the same exact playback levels (measured!) on my (software-wise slightly modified) Nexus 5, MacBook Pro, iPhone 5S, and FiiO E18, I have a really hard time telling the difference. I'm sure I would have failed a carefully designed blind listening test, which is the only valid way to compare sound quality.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomHuman:
My phone had recently been updated to MM and had gotten kinda sluggish and buggy as a result. So I decided I'd want to do a clean install of MM on my phone, all the while getting rid of the Vodafone bloatware that was on it, by using a general/cusomized FTF file from Xperifirm. Here begins the weird part (although i'm new to most of this, so it could just be me, i was hoping some of you could tell me that :p). As I am from the Netherlands i wanted to download the latest customized FTF file for that region, but the only one that was actually on version 32.1, was Vodafone! The rest of them, including the customized version, were still on 32.0. I got the customized one anyway, hoping i could just update it to MM on my phone straight after i had flashed it (which went fairly smoothly using Flashtool btw). So now i'm back to lollipop again, but rather unexpectedly, i'm not able to update to MM. When I click on software-update in the "about this phone" settings, there is (rather ironically) just the possibility to download some vodafone app, which is probably initiated by my Vodafone sim-card.

As it is my first time doing this, things are starting to get really confusing for me now and i honestly wouldn't know what the problem could be. I'm hoping some of you migt be able to shed some light on this problem and also the following things:

- Xperifirm says it was last updated on 24th of february. Could this be the problem? And how can i update it? I can't see a button anywhere.

- How could it be that a carrier firmware version is available, while the general/customized one isn't? I thought the whole point of debranding (apart from less bloatware) was to get updates quicker?

Hey!

Recently I installed the official CyanogenMod ROM for LG P7 705g. The version of the release is for p700.

So far it's been the smoothest ROM I've tried, even if its not (?) exactly for 705. However, I can't manage to get my SIM working changing to the baseband 20a.

The baseband patches I've found do not work since they are for older versions of Android. This ROM uses Android 4.4 (KitKat).

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontbeweakvato:
If you flash a factory extracted boot then you'll have to flash systemless SuperSU after because it patches per kernel.
