I'm running stock 4.4.2, rooted, and curious, after much searching, I can't seem to find a way to increase the mic input volume.
When I record audio notes, regardless of the app, the sound is not being picked up much.
Any line in build.prop that I can change and hopefully not brick my phone?
Thanks in advance, amigos.

Is there an app or other software to boost the volume? All my volume settings are maxed and i cant really hear the caller. Sometimes, though, it comes in just fine, but most of the time it doesnt.
Thanks

I had this problem with another phone and after an extensive search, I ultimately gave up on it. I will share what I tried and maybe save you a little trouble.
First and simplest, try gently cleaning out the earpiece with a little toothpick, a pin, or better yet blow it out with some air. This seems to work for some people, as overtime gunk can build up inside the screen.
Next, there are a lot of apps that claim to work as volume boosters. Most of them are for speaker volume and not for in-call volume. After sifting through many of them I found one or two that claimed to help in call volume but they really did not work. If you go this route then "happy hunting".
Some ROMs have a hearing aid setting under the Accessibility options but I couldn't tell you which. The ROM I'm using has ways to change the volume steps for all volume settings and that might help (I'm using Liquid Smooth found here in the DEV section).
There is an Xposed module that enables you to adjust some volume steps.
Viper for Android gives you a lot of control over the sound of the device (it has Xloud) and it works well with the Apollo Music Player found on many ROMs but I can't say for sure it helps in-call volume. It sure makes music sound good though.
Last and hardest, if you are rooted and have a file managing app, you can go into the system files and edit them. This would probably require the assistance of a dev who could tell you exactly where these file are located and what the correct settings should be. Of course, there is always a chance of damaging your phone this way.
That's all I know. Hopefully, one of these options will work for you, or someone wiser will jumped in with a better solution. Good luck!
You need to tell everyone what software you are using and how long you have been having a problem.
Looking for a good way to increase volume slightly, specifically for the speaker or the bluetooth. I've found tons of great articles that talk about editing mixer_paths.xml. Those instructions work great on nearly every other android phone I've seen...but not the M8. The naming is completely different.
For example:
- Articles say to change the speaker, you need to go to the <path name="speaker"> section and change the volume.
- On the M8, that section is empty.
My guess is that it's different section names than other phones, but I haven't figured out which is which. Anyone know?
If you're rooted you can use V4a audio mod. It has a lot of settings including increasing the gain. Mine is so loud at full volume I actually have to talk over the sound coming from external speakers!

I'd prefer not to use V4a. Tried it, didn't care for it. I'd much rather find out the really easy text change in the mixer_paths.xml
Thanks though!
*Bump*
Currently just using H/K for the volume boost it gives bluetooth. Would love to find out what setting to change to adjust this myself...
Hey guys, I'm looking for a way to control my S6's mic's volume/gain input level, for weeks now, and I have found nothing.
The reason why I'm looking for a way is so that when I'm recording some video in a louder environment the sound gets blown out, cause the phone just can't handle the gain control automatically, so I'd like to lower it manually to have nice sounding recordings.
no one? why is there literally no info on this in the last few years? Is there an option hidden somewhere that I'm missing?
bump?
I'm looking for a way also.
I have a low volume in phone calls. Need to increase the gain.
I also have a low volume during calls. I flashed a MOD to increase the volume and although it is better, it's still not good enough.
Only possible through kernel tweak but there is no dev who is interested in doing that so im afraid you cant for the moment
Still looking for a way to increase earpiece volume. Usually it's a simple build prop change but I guess it's not that simple anymore. Any help would be appreciated.
Hey guys, I just flashed my first custom rom on s6, and I was wondering how could I increase headphone sound level? On my old phone all I had to do was change some values in default_gain.conf (or smth like that, havent done it in a while). Maybe there are just some flashable mods, that would increase sound and maybe quality? Thanks in advance.
Edit /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml, look for "gain-media-headset" and adjust the gains for both left and right. I recommend a value of 130 from the 113 default, it's plenty loud.
