Attention, wall of text incoming.

Just want to point this out, I'll be talking about the phone loudspeakers, not the heaphones (v8 beta 2).

I want to give you a few suggestions, I hope you can consider this for the final version. :)

So for the first example, check out this track (it's not the greatest quality, but it will be useful):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLIBuJseHcM

On the phone it sounds amazing at the beginning, I might say that the bass is even too loud, I was amazed that our phone is capable of this.

But, after some more sounds start playing, the bass gets overpowered which shows there is too much compression.

The next two tracks you might want to listen on a good system first for comparison.

I'm sorry these links links are not youtube, but soundcloud, as I've found out it retains better quality and loudness.

https://soundcloud.com/feedme/i-do-coke-with-kill-the-noise

https://soundcloud.com/disciple/barely-alive-astronaut-bad-fellas-released-march-30th

They are mastered really loud, and the bass is crushing my home cinema sound system, and sounds really well on my studio headphones too.

But on the phone (speakers), even though the volume is high, I'm not really feeling the bass, it's just not there (and the phone is definitely capable, as you can see in the first track example).

I want to point out, as I've mention earlier, in you lollipop v13 mod the bass sounded a lot stronger in these two tracks.

Now, this issue is perhaps a bit subjective and depends on the music you listen to, but I wanted to give my opinion.

After all, this is the place for suggestions, right? :)

Maybe you can look into this, and consider the "louder" music when you're tweaking this mod.

So to draw the line:

- The volume is a bit too loud (the most noticeable in the 2,5 - 6 kHz range), but it can be fixed with an equalizer.

- The bass is great, even a bit too loud (because there is some crackling), but gets overpowered because of compression.

- The system sounds are louder than I'd like (for example, the alarm on the lowest setting is still too loud).

Other users are reporting the same about touchscreen sounds. I don't use it, so it's not a big deal for me, but it is for some.

- There is that "hissing" sound that is probably best heard on facebook messenger notification, but it's also present in music.

I'm not quite sure, but I think it's related to dithering. You might want to look it up to know what I'm talking about, if you haven't noticed the hissing before.

I'm sorry for this rant, but I like the work you've done here so far.

I hope I'm not too annoying, I just want to be helpful, because I take my music seriously. :D

Cheers, and good luck with your exams!

Try remount the system via Advanced at TWRP.
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Okay bro, i already fixed that, removed drc, it was compressing the bass :/

Now I modded tfa files more precisely

Now we got deep bass and high clarity :) and also loud, XD took me 6 hours to find the correct lines for this, just keep experimenting ??

Now headphones will get deeper/heavier bass, will add this :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Guys new changelog for now

- Added deep pass filter for headphones via mixerpath.xml

-Bass is really really deeeep, soft and warm (headphones)

- did alot of modification to Loudspeakers

-clarity and Bass improved alot for speakers

-Fixed hissing in background

-Reduced system sound (tick sound)

Heavily modified mixerpath.xml

Improved quality while calling and hands-free mode
[Sony Cross-Device General] Quoclam851995:
wait for new version
[Sony Cross-Device General] Freedomaster:
How to remount through advanced?I don't see any option of remount
[Sony Cross-Device General] medalogii:
I installed the mod it's wonderful, but I have this weird issue. Every like 30 secs there is this constant drop of voice that makes YouTube for example pauses while playing a video. The voice drops then returns up immediately. Thanks for your great work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Okay thanks for feedback it's fixed already everything except NC but I think this shouldn't be a drama :D I'm really proud of v8 I'm nearly done, ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] medalogii:
Thanks pal ? can't wait already.
[Sony Cross-Device General] sepsep 21:
can i install this mod on one plus 2?
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Ofc not. It's only for Xperia Z2 and Z3 line
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dilesh Perera:
hi

can u make a version without needing Project Desire or any other mod?
[Sony Cross-Device General] RyTekk:
Why don't you go out of XDA while you don't wanna take the risk? Sorry guy, this is XDA, and XDA-ers always ready to take the risk, dontbelive has damaged a lot of his device's speaker to give us the mod. Btw, you should don't root/unroot your phone too, it's too dangerous and totally be avoided by warranty LOL

There's a topic which talk about the risk, it has a lot of comments from Senior/Recognized Developers as well as Contributors.
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
This mod doesn't contain any PD mod, it's pure stock based and no extra files, u can use this mod standalone, look at OP I edited again :D

Just flash v1 no need for flashing pd :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Totally true ? damaged my phone 5 times haha maybe more???
[Sony Cross-Device General] kanej2006:
Did you replace the speakers on the 5 damaged phones or actually replaced them?

Please don't tell me you threw them away otherwise it's a huge waste! :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Hahaha I got them completely replaced thanks to my insurance ? 5 times hahaha
[Sony Cross-Device General] ric69:
Hello I flashed V1 on my Z2 stock MM, all is great but I don't hear much difference with stock so question is :

-Loudspeaker is completely equal in terms of volume

or :

-Loudspeaker is much louder than stock

? :p
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Wait for v2, it's completely different, on z3 there is much improvement, idk Abt other devices,

Be patient
[Sony Cross-Device General] kanej2006:
Haha, yes, I completely forgot about insurance. Good thing they were insured, make sure you keep it that way. :)

One more question please. Will the upcoming V2 be the final release or can we expect many releases?

Remember the sound mods you made for the Z Ultra? There were around 13 versions!! :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] NerdiX:
All the life we are beta testers, where is the problem ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Ofc there will be more releases haha XD, actually it was 15 versions for Z1 line :D including ZU.

Um v2 is in test phase so final will be out in upcoming days, I'm still managing the files XD, I haven't slept the night bcuz of modding ???
[Sony Cross-Device General] TheXorg:
Did you optimize headphone output? Coz IMHO stock is too quiet and not much bass (Sony MH750), compared to my Nexus 4 with XTREME Music.
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Yes headphones Boosted aswell ? didn't I mention it in changelog? Maybe I forgot,

Headphones Boosted to 192khz and 24 bits

Really loud,

More bass than stock thanks to z5 libs

,BTW v2 includes automatic headphones compensation (AHC):D
[Sony Cross-Device General] kanej2006:
That's great to hear, cannot wait. Thank you so much for your efforts and hard work. I really appreciate it and hope everyone else does!!
[Sony Cross-Device General] RyTekk:
No, we must be alpha or delta or omega tester, not just beta :laugh:.
[Sony Cross-Device General] TheXorg:
Would it also be possible to boost UKW/FM radio volume without raising the whole headphones volume? Coz that's really really quiet; for now I use alsamixer to turn up the headphones volume
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
I did changes to fm radio tfa files, it must be louder, I don't use radio so, idk XD, otherwise I will have to edit buildprop to see
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
UPDATED TO V2 ENJOY :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] frixed:
The version 2 is very good but the speakers have way too sharp in my opinion i use on z3c
[Sony Cross-Device General] wulfiss:
Same in z3tc. But In earphones is nice.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ilebed:
Patiently waiting :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dilesh Perera:

[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Updated to v8 final build ??? I'm really proud abt this mod so enjoy, check changelog
[Sony Cross-Device General] raziel zarafan:
Don't work T-T ok no haha all its perfect thanks bro
[Sony Cross-Device General] Vaith:
I don't have all setting presented on screenshots. How do I enable them?
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Check your buildprob and check if the buildprob lines got added if not then manually input them, or try wiping data and cache
[Sony Cross-Device General] Vaith:
Everything added. No luck...
[Sony Cross-Device General] core_x:
Mine looks the same as Vaiths. After flashing I wiped dalvik and cache and all build.prop lines are added.

ROM is eXistenZ MM 1.0
[Sony Cross-Device General] deepu28792:
+1 even mine does not show all the settings, I am on eXistenz mm.
[Sony Cross-Device General] core_x:
Some of the settings are under "accessory settings" but still missing some features.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Quoclam851995:
what about clear pharse and xloud
[Sony Cross-Device General] maple_mak:
Both revomed because buggy.
[Sony Cross-Device General] chawlasrijan:
v8 for me is super buggy, I started having random reboots & the speaker sound is very crackled (I tried flashing the crackling fix from the OP also).

After a few reboots, the device just straight up went to bootloop, back to v7 for now.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dilesh Perera:
[MENTION=4170892]dontbelive[/MENTION]

with V8 speaker sound is very crackled even after the flashing the fix too. and same applies for notification sounds :( beta v8 much better than this
[Sony Cross-Device General] Arcide:
I agree with these guys, at first I thought my speakers were damaged, but I figured out it's just distortion and crackling.

Btw, bass sounds a lot better in loud tracks, but it could still use some tweaking.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ilebed:
Must agree, sound crackling after fix and on max volume sound distortion. Good thing no hissing sound in backgroud
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Headphones u All mean?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dilesh Perera:
i mean Speakers... infact all means speakers
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Okay thx, then I will upload a fix for speaker, but sound will get bit lower

Also which devices u use I forgot
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dilesh Perera:
its Z2 bro :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Oh okay, it's maybe bcuz of different Loudspeakers hardware,

Try this

And give feedback if this fix the crackle

After flashing V8 it sounds like having no soundmod anymore lol (speaker, z3 compact). But its very subjective.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dilesh Perera:
Now Speaker sound is very low

Just like stock
[Sony Cross-Device General] ilebed:
Main speakers...

Z3
[Sony Cross-Device General] Arcide:
Z3 here also, I didn't flash the last file because people are saying sound is very low.
[Sony Cross-Device General] joebacsi72:
DONTBELIVEMOD-MM-Z2-Z3-LINE-V8-BETA is the BEST for me.

Extremly loud wihout any crackling!

[Sony Cross-Device General] :
You are using Xperia X Soundenhancement in your Mod. Right ?

well can i know where you get that ?

or Are you using from Stock ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] kanej2006:
Agreed. Using V8 beta 2 and it's the best, perfect without any hissing or crackling. 10/10.

Same for me, perfect! V8 beta or beta 2 are the best.
[Sony Cross-Device General] TheFerhatKing:
Can I flash v8 over v7?
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Yes
[Sony Cross-Device General] marceldossantos91:
On z3 MM its great but, its just a bit to loud, like at step 13 or 14/15 its great and loud, but at 15/15 its distorted lol, using V8, tried crackling fix, to no avail
[Sony Cross-Device General] Super Prince:
Thanks for your continuous development of this mod.

For me, V8 BETA2 With the fix is the best sounding version till now. V8 crackles and distorted a lot.
[Sony Cross-Device General] TharakaKS:
Can you share V8 beta2 download link?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Super Prince:
Search the thread. I think you can find it in page 34 or less
[Sony Cross-Device General] :
OP not replying me ....

This mod using Xperia X SoundEnhancemet ported by me...

this guy not mentioning ppl...

Reply me OP
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Replied, check
[Sony Cross-Device General] :
OK
[Sony Cross-Device General] joebacsi72:
Guys, the maximum available volume is primarily dependent on the hardware, not the Modder! The Modder can only optimize the frequency, the dynamics of the amplifier, which then goes to the speaker. It also specifies how the volume set to be the maximum volume level for optimal input signal. The ideal value of 12. Of course, if a maximum volume of 12 is then set to 15, distortion occurs because overdrive the amplifier. However, so reserve strengthening for the case when the input signal is too low, the music that is quieter than average. In this case, the maximum volume is indeed at 15. And when the input signal is too high up the volume will be at 9-10! The DRC will help reduce the clipping but the sound quality deteriorates.

Guys need feedback, is Loudspeakers better with this zip?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4oQ1jWGmKLObHBSODdnTnJFdEk/view?usp=drivesdk
[Sony Cross-Device General] pxrave:
z3 european edition!!!

final v8 headphones didnt tested

speaker: to much bass (these speakers cant play bass)

you should take that to 70hz till 150 hz max (sounds best on the phone i think)

high crackling at 13/15 =>12 is maxed out

low sounds are very good - alarm is working perfekt with v8

my advise dont get the speaker to their limit bit lound than stock is ok, you are the expert in equalizing and sound ... quality is better then loudness

// now testing the fix!!!

thanks for the fix much better at high volume but i think a bit to loud should 14/15 is ok or better 13/15 at 15/15 still crackling and disorting
[Sony Cross-Device General] Uncanfeeling:
After I flashed the v8, my phone started having random reboots after phone calls, I falshed both fixes, but still the same
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dilesh Perera:
low sound. just like stock again

im comparing the sound with beta 2 . sound is perfect with beta2 other than the hissing sound. so u may compare the sound levels of beta 2 and fix new version.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ilebed:
Ok for me headphone sound is very good and nice,on half on volume ears hurt :D !

But on Loudspeakers volume is now low - just like stock . No hissing no crackling but still low, on half of volume ( media,youtube, music) hearable but still low and not like v8 beta . On max volume still present slightly distortion but will test more.

Hope this helps
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Okay try this zip it's for my upcoming v9

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4oQ1jWGmKLOZWFzd1RIZ3NKWmc/view?usp=drivesdk

Hope this one is better
[Sony Cross-Device General] pxrave:
this data give me more clear and rich sound. but still a bit disorting at the loudest level

much better then v7 => v8 is very bad you should delete the zip
[Sony Cross-Device General] xfire:
Grazie. Rob Rugg
[Sony Cross-Device General] chawlasrijan:

[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Do a clean install Pls and give feedback, ofc back-up b4

Okay sounds good ? will optimize it bit more :D

Thank you very very much ??

Nice, okay like I said will optimize it, it's just test for you guys ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] pxrave:
I think you should try Drc for speakers again.

Don't use the hardware maximum +5db +2 or 3 should be optimized
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
I will see first need to test for now will release v9 without drc

[Sony Cross-Device General] Quoclam851995:
Which version of dolby atmos
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dilesh Perera:
about V10

Speakers sound good. no distortion or crackle. headphone sound is good too. deep base. BUT using headphone with call is effected. heavy noise comes when calling with headset. V10 not usable with headset calling :(

and after flashing the fix its same and even the music with lot and lots of distortion

and i have find out even with V9 headphone using calling impossible due to heavy noise.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Anwerwebas:
V10 very good

But why v8 + Fix The sound very high.

Can you make loudspeaker high in V10 look like v8 beta with fix ?!

I have flashed the harmoinum sound mod from xda, can I flash this over without any issues ?

Should I just flat l flash the v10 on my z2?
[Sony Cross-Device General] pxrave:
V10 sounds nice I will test more

I have some useful advise set the chip quality to 24 not to 32 bit cost only battery. Same for up mixing from 192hz to 96hz you won't hear any difference because the mobile sound chip is to weak. The devices we connect too. So after these minimal changes your mod will be a bit more battery friendly and have the same good sound as before. Nice to see Drc included it helps to protect our speakers from dead.

Is there a tool who can check build. Prob after flash your mod the entries double every time we have to clean the changes manually.

I will report more.

You added a lot of bass I tested it with kid Inc dolo at middle volume the bass is very nice and clean loudness is ok.

At higher volume it's not much louder but the bass keeps my speakers crackling sometimes.

I think if you reduce the very low hz it could help to avoid these things.

for example my very old samsung galaxy s (also mm 6.0.1) have more bass then my xperia z3 i have drc enabled

hardware amp level stock = +-0 i set it to +2

to setup bass i used drc sub-bass +5db and maximum drc to avoid crackling very rich bass much much more as our handset

i reconfigured the equalizer for small speakers (you can google some bands for our speaker)

i activated oversampling (same as our) 24bit and so =>

it have an class w amp do you know our amp?
[Sony Cross-Device General] darkblooded:
I have the same problem on z2 stock MM 6.0.1 without any other sound mod.

It's not possible to use headphones on calls. Because of that I can't use this mod, otherwise the other changes are pretty good.
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Nice ?

Title says only Xperia

Yes u can it's compatible :)

I'm working on it, I already edited mixerpath.xml for z5 it will geht double boost speakers and deep bass for speakers ?? I need testers for it

Thanks you

Okay thanks for info will fix this, I know now what's this causing it :)

I couldn't understand, do you mean v8 and the fix zip together is volume higher than v10?
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Okay nice thx for the info

About 192khz u will hear a difference for sure and about battery with 192 I have the same battery like 96 I didn't notice any drain since I'm doing this XD

Um yeah I googled alot about the Tfa9890 chip

And about the bass, yeah it is crackling a little tiny miny bit for me too on bottom speaker, I need to reduce bass and add middle to it so it get balanced.

I'm still not done with this mod :D

Will fix it next version :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Arcide:
Yeah, this is nearly perfect now!

There is still a little bit distortion, but I believe you can easily fix that.

Hissing is still there but not much of a problem because it's mostly noticable on lower volumes only.

I can't wait to hear the next version.
[Sony Cross-Device General] pxrave:
thats it because the bottom speaker is usualy not for music (sony saved some money :(((() main bass come from the earpiece, so i know it must be hard to get 2 different speakers to the same level.

but one thing is clear: u are the best modder for speakers here.
[Sony Cross-Device General] KumarAnup:
Hey Dontbelive

For me v8 sounds great on Headphone specially after enabling the DSEE-HX...

Can you please simply minimize the speaker sound of V8 without any other changes

Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] Antonio1967:
v10 awsome but volume is low(z3)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Anwerwebas:
Yes, i mean v8 and the fix zip together is volume higher than v10.
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Okay I also think volume is low like stock

Okay, but I will not merge both zips cuz the main zip has the XX policy inside
[Sony Cross-Device General] dontbelive:
Guys I think if I will revert back and use the Xperia X Loudspeaker driver, bcuz the volume is low,

Ofc the bass is really nice but this soundmod is for loud clear and balanced sound between bass and clarity and Xperia X Loudspeaker is the best for it

[Sony Cross-Device General] Arcide:
Aw man, I know that's what probably many people want, but it would be awesome if you could at least do one more version fixing the distortion with the current drivers, before you revert to the other driver.

That would be great for people who prefer to have bass, than loud but tiny sound.
