The ROM you mention is quite outdated, almost a year old. You can still use it, but it won't have the DTS 3D stereo framework LG gave us in January if this year.

There's also a Magisk mod that incorporates dual speaker mode, plus a lot of other stuff. Make a TWRP backup first!

Only thing is Bluetooth audio is junk for me. I've been trying to look into this don't know if you have any ideas. Might really try this rom out before pie rolls out because carrying the Nexus 6 just to listen to music in the vehicle is a bit much. I find it weird the v30 does really good on headphones but the moment you move to certain Bluetooth devices it really goes to crap or at least for me it does never had a issue on anything else.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zoki88:
Thanks a lot, this is much easier than those sites i read + as you said that this ROM is outdated and won't having DTS 3D, with this magisk module i'll have everything like i used to have and added dual speaker, right? Just one thing: is it going to work on my H930DS, because it's says: Dual Speaker for North American Variants?
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ChazzMatt:
I know other H930 variants are running it. Just please make TWRP backup first and if it doesn't work, don't complain in the thread.

You flash it in TWRP, by the way.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zoki88:
You mean to backup system in TWRP?
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zoki88:
Can someone tell me what is this two codes used for, in your original mixer_paths_tavil.xml file, you have it, in my original xml file, i don't have (nothing watching modifed files for dual speaker, just your and my original files(lg v30)):

<path name="incall_music_uplink headphones">

<path name="incall_music_uplink"/>

</path>

<path name="incall_music_uplink2 headphones">

<path name="incall_music_uplink2"/>

</path>

Do i need to add them?
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ChazzMatt:
I mean make a TWRP backup of your phone, like you were advised to do when you first installed TWRP. You can "restore" that to go back in time before you made changes.

You should always have a recent TWRP backup.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Zoki88:
Thanks for advice, but i made changed xml file compared with modified one from Dante63, which will replace with original one(in case, i have original one on pc), used to compare my orginal, his original and his modified xml files using this site: https://demo.deltaxml.com/compare-demonstration-tool/ , it's really good tool. Didn't expect to see differences in codes between my original and his original xmls, so just need this two row of codes to know what are they used, do i need to add them

Is this included in JohnFawkes zips or do I have to fish around for them? I never thought that there was anything wrong with my DAC. It displays High Impedance.

I see a lot of discussion but zero instructions that are of use. Threads like this should be locked if all they devolve to is drama. Why have this on the front page??
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mrxyzl:
The US998 Zip dont have force HIM or anything. This thread is out of date and the reason it pop up on front page is because some random people just keep reply on it

Thank you for the fast response. That's what I thought. They need to lock it.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ChazzMatt:
Anxious V30 module has some of these options built in -- dual speaker mode and forced HIM (except she now has to call it something else because audiophiles harassed her that it wasn't a technically accurate name. I still call it that because people understand what I mean.)

Forced HIM is to give high impedance mode to earphone with less than 50 ohms impedance. There are SOME earphones which will arguably sound even better with forced HIM -- like the

1More Triple Driver

. However, you don't necessarily want to do it with poor quality Dollar Store earbuds.

In this audio mods thread, there were many other options of varying degrees: louder, loudest, with or without dual speaker mode. TotallyAnxious chose the two best ones for her module (which has multiple features, it's not just audio mods). In recent versions, she even halved the "forced HIM" volume -- so as to still get an effect, but not magnify noise.

After we all get Pie, none of these will work any more. You see there are different paths for Nougat and Oreo. There will be different paths for Pie too. [MENTION=5377398]TotallyAnxious[/MENTION] will update hers after VS996 gets Pie.

I want to operate my in ears with 32 ohms with my DAC. I can use the above mentioned profiles ..... I would like to upgrade my sound through the dac altogether .... can I use the high impendace mod synonymous with those in ears have the 32 ohms? as in ear I own the 1 More Quad driver E1010 and as over ear of Sony the WH-H900N. I just want to play it safe because I do not want to damage my headphones or my smartphone

does it matter if i do not have mixer_paths_tavil.xml in /system/etc/ ?

i tried to put the modded one there, set the permissions, restarted and heard no change.

i am having mixer_paths_tavil.xml in /system/vendor/etc/

i have H930 with Oreo build of SGCMarkus
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rm8226:
Bad luck for me then i really wanted the forced HIM and dual speaker
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrsdbskn:
I downloaded the mixer_paths_tavil.DSBQMVAUXLIH.xml and moved it to /system/etc/ but the dual speaker is not working. Is there something with the .xml file or do i have to move it to somewhere else?
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] iRS_:
it does not work at all if you put it in /system/etc/

after reboot it dissappears from there but if you put it in /system/vendor/etc/ dual speaker do not work, the sound is VERY loud and when i press volume buttons the sound goes to an even lower volume, after few seconds, goes loud again. just like it lowers the volume when you receive a notification. (my guess is thatiy could be a volume key sound which plays at that time)
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] davebugyi:
On 7.0 the correct path is /system/etc.

On 8.0 is /system/vendor/etc.

Make sure you rename the file correctly (remove the ".DSBQMVAUXLIH part) and not leave it as it is.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mrsdbskn:

since I think I have the Moded Mixer paths XML on it, I can change the volume with the buttons only in steps of 5. I think before I went in 1er. can anyone tell me if you can change that via an XML file?
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] iRS_:
i just installed a stock build 11m, android nougat 7.1.2 and the mod is working properly, all of the XMLs which comes to conclusion that the mod is FOR android NOUGATand it is not (yet) fully compatible with android OREO

when you have screen closed or you are inside Hi-Fi DAC settings (opened screen) you have steps of 1. when you are anywhere else with screen opened you have steps of 5.

mixer_paths_tavil.BQMVLIH.xml Does that only make it louder?
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sony92:
i use over ears and in ears once. both with 32 ohms. which mixer paths is recommended? the BQMVLIH or IVAH or EVAH

and what is the difference between IVAH and EVAH? and what is meant by the three profiles with volume. the volume or how the sound works?
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sony92:
can one adjust the mixer paths.xml manually for the dac? At the moment I have the BQMVLIH on it. I already like the souround sound of the profile. but the profile robs me of the clarity I've set with viper .... is a bit difficult to explain. the cleanliness of the sound. but would like to keep the souround sound ..... kanm someone tell me with what you can edit the xml and where to look in the file then?
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sony92:
Can not tell me if I can customize the mixer paths xml even more to my own sound taste? and with which program you do that
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sony92:
Is there no way to customize the sound of the DAC with other programs? where you just have more options?
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Wolfsbane58:
There are two separate DACs on the V30. There is the regular embedded one on the Qualcomm chip that is used for the vast majority of functions with the phone. And then there is the ESS SABRE 9218P DAC. This last is a dedicated DAC that can only be accessed through the 3.5 input jack. It is meant for high performance audio applications. The connection and power requirement for the attached device is detected via a series of sensors on the left channel circuitry of the jack on the phone. It is also this that enables the Hi-Fi mode on the SABRE Quad DAC, (though you do have to turn it on the first time that you connect a device to the 3.5 jack).

Was hoping that LG would allow users to set HIM, manually, without having to go through an adaptor or rooting with the latest updates. I understand they want the phone to set it automatically, but it doesn't always work the way they intended it, specially with IEMs that are low impedance but require a higher current, like planar headphones.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] iRS_:
i do not think that they are allowed to do that because there are safety regulations like that annoying notification which says that if you listen to high volumes you might damage your hearing, or the always reset to a lower volume.

anyway...

the mods here do not properly work on oreo

i have seen the differences [MENTION=9023361]Whiskeyomega[/MENTION] did for his files and edited my own oreo xml :)
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Whiskeyomega:
erm....they do they just go in system/vendor/etc not system/etc
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tinkerer_:
I wonder how standalone DACs used with smartphones (e.g. Dragonfly Red) are allowed to simply provide full output power range, then.

It seems that if preventing hearing damage were the issue, the ESS DAC in V30 could just offer a simple on/off toggle with a high volume warning for simple full output range ESS DAC (HIM), and another warning the first time the user pushes volume up past a low mark.

[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] davebugyi:
I have to say, that had no issues with the DS mod on Nougat, but on Oreo I can't get it to work.

Tried all of the DS mod files - they are in correct location (/system/vendor/etc/), file size & content are okay, permissions set, but no sound at all from the speaker (ear).

Flashed the kdz, then Boombox 0.18 (downloaded yesterday) - no other mods yet.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Eddiejam72:
Same, in Boombox 0.18 room mods sound not work. Also when I receive a call, I do not hear the voice of the caller. I must first activate the speakerphone to hear. I had to flash the kdz. Too bad, I hope someone will edit the mixer path correctly.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] davebugyi:
Yep, just noticed that as well. Happening only on incoming calls
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Whiskeyomega:
Both of these issues are nothing to do with the mier path being edited incorrectly other wise i would have heard from more people. There are bugs in Oreo that are beyond my expertise. Ive even considered myself going back to nougat until LG comes out with 8.1. It is purely chance that you dont get the bugs each reboot.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Whiskeyomega:
try putting something on and holding your finger to feel the vibration of the earpiece over it. Ive tested it with option 6 myself and it is there although the values need a little tuning maybe. Unfortunately its not my mod but ill see what i can do in the next couple of days .
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] davebugyi:
I played around a little with WinMerge, using the korean, dante's, your and the stock kdz mixer files - a finally put something together which works for me (dual speaker) and also the phone call bug is not present anymore.

If you are interested I attached the file - based mainly on your mixer from folder "5"
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Whiskeyomega:
Ok its really strange as you can see as they look identical but are obviously different.

However ill copy over and update all the DS ones.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] davebugyi:
Yes, I know that and that's why I keep my head scratching why it is the default coming with BoomBox was not working for me.

I put the mixer from folder "5" to the /system/etc/vendor - then there was no effect, if I put the final "Frankenstein style" mixer, everything was fine.

Actually it took me 15 tries to get this result (was trying various combinations) and during the process of "creating the file", I had half a dozen systemUI crashes, no sound issues, but in the end it was ok.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Whiskeyomega:

[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] agamemnonn:

hey

the mixer_paths_tavil.xml was originally missing from my system/etc on my lg v30. iv'e added the file (number 5) but it did not enable the ds mod. after that i flashed an lg v30 ds mod on magisk, but still, no ds.

any suggestions?

p.s: running on oreo
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] davebugyi:

/system/etc is for Nougat.

[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] lmservas:
[MENTION=9023361]Whiskeyomega[/MENTION] Have you experimented with adding "audio.offload.16bit.enable=true" to the build.prop in hopes of forcing 16Bit audio to the Sabre DAC rather than the on-board Aqstic DAC? I know that users of the V20 and other HiFi DAC enabled devices had success with this. I don't even see this line in the prop file at all though. I am going to give it a try myself when I get home from work, just wanted to ask the resident DAC guy lol.

[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] glhelinski:
Hello,

I've read all the pages of this thread and am trying to figure out what exactly this mod does and if it is currently working. As for my case, I'm on stock Oreo 8.0, TWRP, Magisk 16. I'm not happy with the sound coming out of the speaker....volume is too low. Personally I don't care (much) about the special DAC on this phone. I've used Viper for years and am happy with the quality of what that produces (both through the speaker and thru headphones). Again, my main issue is....it's not loud enough through the speakers and would like to improve the volume of that. Would installing your mod and/or Viper via Magisk get me where I want to go? Thanks
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] suzook:

Hi, sorry if dumb question, what's the dual speaker mod do if we only have 1 speaker?

Will try this with my already excellent sennheiser cx-500i headphones that are just not loud enough. Have them at about 90% just for normal listening.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ChazzMatt:
The ear speaker becomes the 2nd speaker.

(In case you don't know it, in very loud audio environments -- like live concerts -- LG has designed the ear speaker to convert to 3rd microphone. I'm not making this up.)

So, devs are utilizing the ear speaker to be another loud speaker. You just can't make it as loud as the bottom speaker, but it does work.
