I don't know. It's not getting any interest. U can try it and let me know.
Alright, sorry for being late ..
I wanted to check almost all the sound mods possible and get my hands dirty once and for all haha
Thanks for your hardwork , thanks for sharing ..
Now if I understand.. What this mod does is .. Changing the system files in charge of speakers control .
Say .. Speakers are set to work at 80% power by manufacturer , and this mod allows it to squeeze the 100% ... Am I right ?
I found it to be doing almost the exact same thing other apps do .. Except ..
It feels much cleaner and no bloatware or further libraries modifications which is great IMO . also I find it to not effect the quality as much and feels a bit louder than other speaker increasing apps " maybe my feelings tho "
I suppose it will work with any stock based ROM , it is working properly on 4.1.2 , yet .. I'll still advice making a NAND back up =)
I tried to do somewhat reasonable test running a video file , using a sound meter app on my mobile to test " not super accurate but tried to be as frank as possible , same situations, same video , same everything "
I got like 52-ish dB before , and a wooping 63-ish dB after .. Which is super good IMO
Difference is worth using and I'll keep using this mod until my tablet gives up on me ..
Thanks again .. You sir are a scholar and an artist .

Thanks for being the first review and for this encouraging post. I place another device with noise meter 2cm close to the speaker and got this 100ish dB result.
My mod only modified speaker volume but it's not to 100% also.
Originally, it 68% on stock rom. Right now, it is 73%. You still can increase it more, but the output will be distorted and the quality will decrease noticeably. I prefer quality over loudness
It works as promised:good:

Well in that case.. could you kindly guide me sir on how to do it myself,
or providing a file with an even more volume.. ?
I agree that quality is over loudness.. But.. the speakers are really low..
And... we can always lower the volume, but we can't increase it.. =)
There are some tight situations when you desperately need some more volume ^^'
Thanks =)

I'd love to test it ! :victory:
Thank you Sir very much for this. I tested it just for 5 minutes ago with my xtz sgp321 (4.4.4) with a Timwin Recovery-System and it works fine. I had to have louder volume because I use my Navigation-System very extensiv and now I must say it's optimal. But I'll follow this thread everyday from now. Thank you again.

Sorry guys for the wait. I was pretty busy perfecting my StereoMOD for xperia Z. Btw, v2 will be aroma installer and it will be ready in hopefully this weekend or else next week. You have choices like various volumes for speakers, x-loud volume, and headphone boost. And let me know if u have any suggestions, i'll see if it is possible.
EvoMix kernel does my job for all the speaker and stuff! Just install kernel adiutor with it and increase the speaker gain. Maybe you can do some improvements with EvoMix kernel and BeastAudio giving away optimal performance for audio and battery usage Just a suggestion
Sorry guys i forgot that i made this mod. Let me rebased it to lollipop when i have time!

I think it's easier to open the file snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 with file editor and set sound settings for a limit you like, for example 68 or 71 or 75.
Also in 5.0.2/5.1.1 fimwares sony deleted xLOUD from sound settings that made sound less loud.
I have mod that restores it.
edit .. wrong thread.
anyone know if this will work on lineage os 16?

There was no need to start another thread on this but, hell, it seems these days everyone is doin it....Anyway, if volume+ and eq doesn.t work for you, atm you can.t do very much about it, you can either ask for another unit ( i agree the volume is low on sensation, compared to others, but frankly i did manage to get good results with volume+ and eq...) or wait until there will be an unlocked bootloader so that the custom roms can fix this issue (if they can, that is)
hmmm...well atm i think i just wait for the unlocked bootloader as promise by htc to come over.thanx bro...your words make me feel a lil bit release..lol
Volume+ 1.7.3 lets you set it even louder. +10 volume +5 bass and put sound on Good Quality. Makes it louder than my evo. Leave off VR stuff and other, also dont run the separate equalize app it makes the sound lower.

Thanks for that, I couldnt work out for the life of me whats was wrong, I could not get the volume to boost no matter what I tried, I just realised that the Speaker Modifications was enabled and one of the sliders was off default..
Now I got louder ringtones, so thanks for pointing that out..

1.7.3 or 1.37? The volume + im seeing in the market is at 1.37. Who's the dev?
Also i see an eq recommended in this thread, what is the name and developer (or link )

Volume + sound boost ( search ,,volume sound boost,, and there should be an icon with a black volume dial ) and the version is 1.7.3 100%
Equalizer ( as it says )
Volume + has some issues with incoming calls, when it Force Closes and it is quite annoying because you have to press the popup dialog before answering the phone. The developers says it is fixed since 1.7.2 but i still get the error sometimes...
Equalizer on the other hand works for me ( i-ve made a custom profile with all the levels at maximum)

VR gave me louder music but it seemed to lower notifications and ringer a bit. Maybe its just me lol
I purchased the app but I only got 1.7.2, don't see anyway to update it. I also didn't see any difference also, but that may be because I don't have the most updated version. ANY help, advice, direction would be great thanks...BTW I'm on T-Mobile Sensation.
thanks very helpful
I just want to add my 2 cents. The volume suck big time. I'm going to wait until they unlock the bootloader. I sure hope that is issues gets some attention from the gents here at XDA devlopers. Thats my 2 cents

Man from where can I get this app? On the market I only found the volume+ 1.37 which has the volume up to 7.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
Hello xda users,
I want to know if there is a way to increase the volume of the A701, especially the headphone output (I dont want to stress people around me with the build in speaker)?
Under normal circumstances the volume is great but e.g when travelling by train or plane I sometimes wish the volume would be a little higher, because of the noise from the environment.
I dont want to damage my ears, of course I know that high volume isnt good for health!
My SGS2 and my S+ got a higher volume through a new custom Kernel. Unfortunately there is no custom Kernel for the A701
Some media players can increase the volume of audio, but then it sounds messed up and its of course not systemwide (e.g. emulators etc).
Can anyone help me with this question?
I am running an almost untouched 4.1.1. Stock (Build Acer_AV051_A701_1.028.00_EMEA_DE, Image Acer_AV051_A701_RV05RC08_EMEA_DE) with Unlocked Bootloader and it's rootet.
Check out "Speaker Boost", ymmv
By omega centauri, works for headphone too.
Thank you for your answer, I will give it a try. Sometimes the solution is so easy I also read about "AlsaMixer" in the comments, if Speaker Boost doesnt work I will try AlsaMixer.
Thanks a lot!

Ha Ha, only because I didn't post it till yesterday :laugh::laugh::laugh: Was such a simple edit I didn't see a need to. Sometimes I forget to post things
Now, for a good audio mod, I advise
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
Use the CortexAx with NEON driver
Also, I use the Creative Zen IR samples.
You have to play with the settings, and you'll drop a couple notches in loudness, but the clarity and bass more than makes up for it.
Will probably cook it all into my Rom
Also, if you're running my Rom, I've cooked up a nifty little 30 step volume mod, rather than the 15 step (stock).
Did anyone manage to install this? Mine just doesn't install things, no errors or anything, after reboot just prompts me to install again!
Yep same thing for me

Now working! Not optimised so warning about battery use. Will report back. Seems very impressive improvement in sound quality though, best on headphones, of course.

It's temperamental. So, sadly I can't tell you how to get it to work. I will say the sound improvement is marginal after listening a bit more, not nearly as good on RAZRi as on later phones. May be a hardware limitation. Did you open it after installation, check speaker and/or headphone, and get asked for and successfully install the drivers (being rooted on your RAZRi - essential). Many people have a problem here though I had no problem. The Guide to set up I used is here, and I've kept to the "model" settings so far: http://vipersaudio.com/blog/?page_id=43.
A lot of people have problems with getting it working, though. And there is no simple solution. If you can make it a system app, that can help, though I've not found it necessary, as can checking force Viper. The blog above again gives the only published advice that I'm aware of. Sorry, and good luck.
UPDATE:
the app Viper4audio, it can support 86x plataform...i installed today and it works like charm...
the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
but i prefer the sound of xperia phones (walkman).
In XDA, there is a MOD of this app (walkman) and their configuration (xloud,etc.) for all android system, but i cant made work in my phone... i left the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730431
i hope anyone can port it and made it work
Awesome!
It really works well and can increase and improve the audio levels. I recommend it
What viper settings help increase volume level on bluetooth headset?
Can anyone share this secret...

I have be a very long user of Project Desire on bro Wolbreak's rom and m still using it, Last night bro Rajeev's PureX for z3 came out, I was just testing it, on that way I found XTreme Music Mode by bro AndroidXpert
I dont know which one is better or clearer for now, I have tweaked everything on Viper4android app that came with that mod and sometimes I feel like I miss DSEE HX?
Anyone got any idea about the differences?
I know its better than stock but If you could share your experiences I will be very grateful to ya.

Hi!
Really brief post, I'm very asleep
I'm using a lot Spotify on my device since weeks ago, and I just compared the sound quality to my SHIELD tablet and it sounds somehow better, so I just had a look and modified some values thanks to some Dolby mods out there, and here's the result: Crispier sound + little louder.
Grab it from here: AndroidFileHost.
Just flash thorugh recovery and enjoy
And before anyone else asks... Yeah, it should be compatible with 4.4 as well as 5.1 (which works for sure since that's where I modified the files)

Hmm yeah, I see system sounds also went up (unconciously). Keep ringtone volume in 70% more or less, it's the ideal
I have uninstalled it again because the sound was really very bad. Please building not in the new ROM. The original sound is much better. I agree. Your Z5 rom is really great
