[Q] Bluetooth Audio a bit low? - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Recently switched from wired headphones to wireless Bluetooth ones and am noticing that the volume is significantly lower via Bluetooth audio. I am using the Google play music app. The music is a bit louder when streaming etc but its about 75% of what i would want the max to be when using google music. Anyways to adjust this setting? Maybe something in the mixerpaths.xml for Bluetooth audio?
Thanks!

You can use some audio mod like divine beats.

Have a look at divine beats thread or any other sound mod thread,if it says that it works with Android O then okay but if it doesn't then you'll have to live with it until the developers release sound mods for Android O.

Will do. I guess no one figured out an easy way to mod this in the mixer_path.xml file?

Yes,fix somewhere lies in that file itself and I guess with a little google search you'll be able to find the solution which includes modifying that file.

Tried Google and XDA extensively. No dice.
Edit: they have a bunch of stuff but only to fix speaker and wired headphones volume. Not for Bluetooth.

No way. How do you get that for 1+1? Or you use Pixel or Nexus? I asked Agent_fabulous port that for 1+1

Desire i.c.w. SE HBH-DS200-> bad audio quality

I've been using this headset for a long time now. And I would like to use it with my desire as well. But the sound quality is so poor that it's like listening to a 56k mp3 file while actually I'm playing a 320kbps mp3.
It seems to me that somehow the bitrate on the bluetooth connection isn't high enough(very low actually).
Does anybody here know how I can change that easily? Or do you have any other solutions for this problem without buying a new headset.
btw, I use a Sennheiser HD215 headphone or the SE in-ear ear buds.
thanks in advance
I'm using the SE MW600 and I have no problems. Using stock rom with the update.

Good for you, but I would like to know how to adjust the bluetooth bitrate on Android.
sorry if I sound a bit grumpy but I've been searching for about 1,5 days straight and still found nothing.

Have you selected the media and phone options in advanced bluetooth settings????

No actually I never touched these settings because they were already enabled when I paired the devices. And I figured it would be quite crucial to have those settings enabled if I wanted to use those profiles.

Was hoping you would conclude from my post that there isn't a problem with the Desire regarding bitrates over bluetooth. Does the headset work on other devices without problems?

Ok, I know that for example the mw600 headset from SE works fine. So I think it's just the combination of devices, but that would be solved if I would be able to alter the bitrate.
I have used the headset with other devices without any problem, other than that I had to set the bitrate higher on a WM 6.5 device.

Any reason the headset might stop working?

I recently switched from CM10 to JellyBam version 5.2. It is running Android 4.2.1. Ever since I installed it (and I've tried re-flashing it twice) the audio is only coming out of the main speaker and not the headphone jack. Does anyone know why this would happen?
Update:
It seems to not be recognizing the headphones at all. When I set it to make the phone silent when I plug in headphones nothing happened.

If you check that thread you'll see that there are problems routing sound to the headphones in this release.....ther's also a suggested fix as well.

I see that a permanent fix is on it's way through some code change. Others report that app works for them, hope you have the same experience.
It foes work... However the auto detect wasn't working for me... When I use headphones I had to set it that way
.. Using the speaker I had to set it to speaker... Its not jumping through hoops as its just checking an option. But it does indeed get the job done

surround sound mod

i've been using the surround sound mod (enabling sound through earpiece speaker when using media) on my nexus 5 for several years. Is there something similar for oneplus phones? (op3 being delivered next week )

you wont need it as the audio is killer on the device.
Fair enough, but it still won't be stereo right?
I'll do it as soon as I get my device
Try viper4Android or Dolby digital sound Mod.. Works fine
Sorry, but the sound is not killer ? Try out Huawei Mate 8, then you know killer sound. Huawei P9 Plus with its stereo speaker is not better than OnePlus 3. So we can be happy with the speaker. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ speaker is a bit better. Galaxy S7 Edge speaker is as good as OnePlus 3. HTC 10 disappointed me the most. Worst speaker
Waiting for this mod.

You probably haven't used Lenovo Vibe X3 which has an output of 120 decibels from its stereo speakers with ESS SABRE 9018C2M.
How does the sound compare to the s7 edge and nexus 6p?
Any update on a surround sound mod for this?
Was supposed to get my device today but that didn't happen
Can someone upload their mixer_paths.xml that's on OOS? Its located in /system/etc/
Edit: nvm I just got it

OOS is a pain in the ass, moving to a cm base and seeing if I have better luck
In case you still haven't got your device: let me know if you need to test something, more than willing to help
Tinkering with the mixer paths right now. Headphones are fine but speaker volume is horrible. Vibration is horrible on this phone too.
Yeah, I'm willing to help in any way possible if it means dual speaker output!
For some reason both CM and OOS us mixer_paths_tasha.XML instead of mixer_paths.xml.
This means two things
1. It's definitely going to harder to identify which value corresponds to what peice of hardware
2. Theoretically we would only need one mod for cm and OOS
If anyone figures out the values for the speaker, let me know because so far I'm not having any luck
is this just a matter of try and error until the values are found or is there a chance at "no stereo at all"?

I'm wondering this as well.

Speaker is very tinny

Does Viper4Android fix this? If so, what profile is everyone using?
Thanks
That is the profile I am using for speaker at the moment.

Thanks, I haven't rooted yet but when I do I will give this a try. :good:
Has anyone else got any profiles they recommend or a guide for how to use Viper4Android?
Turning on speaker optimisation totally deals with the tinniness - but it makes it sound muffled...

and how did you install that? I don't know how to set it up. Thanks

I downloaded the .XML file above and placed it under /Viper4Android/Speaker_test/.
I had to create the speaker_test directory. But after that, I opened Viper4Android and loaded a custom profile and it was under the list as Speaker_test.

Thank you. I'm a bit of a stickler about sound quality. It took a while before it was sounding good to me. I do the same for my vehicle and different headphones/speakers I have.

[MOD][Magisk][Oreo / Pie] Dual Speaker Mode for N5X systemlessly

Update: Tested and working on Pie also
About
This Module uses the Mixer file from this thread: [Mod] SURROUND SOUND
I just created a systemless module for Magisk
Code:
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included.
Nexus 5X has 2 speakers but one is limited for calls only...
So this module enables the earpiece for media and your call speaker will work as secondary speaker
Perfomance
I've tested it on latest stock 8.1.0 (OPM7.181005.003, Oct 2018) & working without any problem or distortion in sound :laugh:
Call sound is not affected by this mod as it only enables the earpiece while playing media ( video, audio, ringtone, etc )
Download
Google Drive
Installation
* Magisk Version required: 17.0 above
1. Download the Dual Speaker Mode for N5X zip from GDrive or from attached file here
2. Flash through the Magisk Manager App or through latest TWRP
Uninstallation
Just flash the module zip again from either Magisk Manager app or TWRP...

The speaker at the buttom sounds louder but nothing important.
Also, the first speaker has distortion but I think it's because of my kernel.
I put 2 to speaker gain.

Hello again.
I'm having troubles. I'm a rock and metal guy mostly so when I listen to some songs the principal guitar, specially in solos, sounds so quiet and the second guitar sounds louder.
I know this isn't from the song because i tested in other device and my PC too.
Do you anything about this? Any settings or something?
I put the gain in 0 again to test.

Basically the ear piece speaker is small, has lower sound than primary media speaker and is only for calls. We enabled it for media also but the sound can never be equal to the primary speaker
Unfortunately it's not a pure stereo experience like Nexus 6P

I found this thread. I really don't know if works with October patch and right now I don't have enough time to fix a bootloop.
Could you take a look and see if you can do something?
I don't want to be rude or ask for an ETA.
