Hi all,
Managed to put the AudioX settings into a flashable CWM.zip file.
Attached is the newest version which I have currently installed:
Disable Tru Bass effect.
Limiter set to 0.150 instead of 0.250
SRS3D Set space to 0.5 instead of 0.800
I decided to leave some of the limiter since having an uncompressed signal can harm the physical speaker.
This tweak means louder speaker output and no Trubass effect which is by default boosting the 400Hz area.
WARNING: I do not take any responsibility for broken speakers etc. When I tried the original edits the volume was so loud the speaker made some crackle noises. If you keep that volume level chances are you will destroy the speaker and then it will crackle even at lower volumes. The new version does have a softer limiter and the volume levels are good so I think the speaker is not in danger.
Attached is the AudioX.zip cwm installable and the Default_Audio_Settings.zip installable. If you don't like the result simply flash the second zip.
All the best

The speaker is super loud to me already. How much louder does this make it?

Wow. This is one flash that really works well. Major difference in volume now. thanks,
Does this make only the loudspeaker (the one on the back of the phone) louder or will this increase the in-call volume as well? And what about headphones? Thanks in advance.

This one makes the loudspeaker in the back louder, I don't think it affects headphones since it's a different output.
I am not a pro developer, only played around with values that seem familiar and by guessing which is the speaker output compared to the in-call volume (since they have a different compression ratio).

Just a heads up to those who may not know, there is a Beats Audio/xLoud mod/port on the board and it works on the Atrix 2. Beats adds a deeper, cleaner bass and cleans up the mids/highs too. xLoud is a Sony Ericsson thing, it basically boosts the overall volume of ur audio. I just flashed this mod to my phone and holy ****, huge difference! I had to turn all my volumes down media/ringer/alarms. My good cans are packed (moving this weekend) so no testing with them yet but after hearing the difference I just heard with only the phone speaker I'm expecting to be very happy.

Audio volume really is increased overall (I too had to turn everything down) and the beats makes the bass sound sweet!

Tried this tweak last week and it's great. My highs have come alive and it sounds much cleaner.
So how does the mod affect the Motorola stock equalizer?
I'm assuming the beats audio is only effective in the My Music app? So do I have to disable the "Effects" in settings to hear the Beats Audio? Or should I switch that to custom?
This work well seems crisper...... Did notice if the bass is overpowering the mids and lows go to sound settings and un-tick enable audio effects..... For me with headphones will set effects enabled effects profile custom surround ambient eq bass punch WOW!!!!!

Mine are....I have had to turn all my volumes down since installing this mod. I haven't done any critical listening since I don't use my phone like that anyway, I was just hoping for louder system sounds and that's exactly what I got. The Beats is just an added bonus.
Ok are we supposed to download the one that says older zip files test301.zip or the allandroidzip.zip that looks to be the newest?

Works great thanks! Sounds a lot better ican tell right away
So im sorry but I did this. And to be honest it didn't sound better at all. In fact I think it was worse everyone keeps saying stuff like wow... what a difference. But I hear worse clarity, more bass but... im a musician and so sounds I hear more clearly maybe than most but Idk.... anyways like I said im not trying to be rude.

Yea these are some of the same complaints I've heard about the actual beats headphones because they're made really for more hip hop songs and not a wide range of music the highs are where those headphones usually suffer IMO

I recently upgraded from stock firmware to custom firmware and installed awesome beats v3 via pimp my rom but since then i don't hear any bass boost or sound enhancement. I was able to hear presets of awesome beats and virtual room setup before very well on stock rom. I have tried flashing back stock rom but awesome beats still does not work.
I have tried music fx, volume+ etc but there presets makes no audio difference either. Please help ..
Device- galaxy note 10.1
Model number- 8013
Custom firmware- 4.1.1
This is a question would request you to post it in Q&A section.
You sound will be as good as you hardware (speakers) allows it to be so if your speakers are performing at its best no amount of software can do that much good it will make some difference though.
Its like putting make-up will that change how you look no it may improve your looks

Well the headphones i am using now are the same i used when awesome beats bass boost was working on stock firmware. I have also tried using a different pair but noo sound difference.
May be the rom is not compatible and has issues with it
maybe rom already has it or something like that pre installed and you can not notice difference because of that?
maybe it's already enhanced ?

You have to believe in the brand and Dr. Dre and if you try hard enough you will think it sounds better. That's how beats work.

I have tried almost all major brands of headphones but headphones would definitely make a difference if sound quality is either coming from amp or good sound preset system otherwise there was no need of amp or equalizer before a speaker.

Search in photon q forum history - it was my thread.
edit : I have found it
look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2057241
I use PowerAmp and it let's you mess with the replay gain and has a pre-amp in the equalizer which both increase the headphone volume. Not exactly sure how but I usually tweak both till I find a setting to my liking. On software version 14 and haven't really needed it except to change a particular volume level because the stock ones are in between what I like.
I've been on ASA14 since first time I bought my Photon Q. I think it's so loud and better than my Atrix HD audio output.
Yeah, I use power amp myself...good app, but still looking to increase overall output, the preamp works only to a certain degree. I am searching more for a build.prop edit or app to actually increase output from the system itself, not limited to one particular application. But thanks!

Just upgraded to rooted stock rom vrbmf1 from stock rooted vrbmb1 and flashed vrbmf1 firmware. The only problem I have now is that none of my sound equalizer programs work. Specifically Speaker Boost the one I use most. The max speaker volume I can acheive now is way too low to hear. With Speaker Boost on vrbmb1 it was pretty loud.
I tried the insanely loud mod, which replaces the default_gain.conf in /system/etc, but it does not work presumably because media volume no longer looks for that file.
So, my question is can anything be done with the stock rom vrbmf1 to increase the speaker volume?

Thanks for the tip. Installed viper4android but it didn't make the volume any louder. But if I disable it the volume goes down so low it's hard to tell if it's on, even at highest system volume. I think maybe I'll just break down and try Scott's Bone Stock Rom. I noticed it has a volume booster built in.

Are you trying to stay with TouchWiz or would you go AOSP? If you'd consider AOSP, I'll recommend LiquidSmooth v2.7. Battery life is outstanding. Volume is actually pretty dang good also.

Doh! I forgot to disable Speaker Boost and it was interfering with V4Android. V4Android works great! Speaker volume is increased just like Speaker boost used to do, and headphone volume is insane. Bluetooth is much clearer with the tweaking to the settings I did.
I'm a happy camper. Thanks for your help.

These are the default audio files which have been modded. This is NOT a system wide audio hack. For that check out Viper4Android.
This will overwrite files on /system/media/audio partition and should be flashed in recovery only.

It's not to make your speakers louder but it makes your audio files themselves louder as in stock ringtones, alarms, ui, etc.

Not sure why some are saying no difference ... revert to stock play any one tone at full volume, then flash the mod and play again ... if you dont feel the difference, then this mod is not necessary for you anyways
Added new edited set ...this one has been bumped to Full Dynamic Range without causing any sound crackling (on some tones with 150%) on the speakers.
Think of it like 120% volume bump but all sounds stay withing a decibel limit to prevent crackling.
I think its better than the 150%

So, just to confirm, this only increases the audio output on UI, system notification and ring tones but will not boost the sound volume when playing music through the speakers, correct?
