Does anyone know of any tweaks to increase the max volume output through wired speakers on the Photon? If so, please share!
Oops!
...will change title in a few and move "LTE" post to the proper forum...
I think it's pretty loud and good. I don't even set it at the max volume.

...you mean earpiece volume or headphones volume?
on asa14 is sound much better, but before i have using beats app for increase volume
I meant headphone volume. Tried flashing beats, using the proper procedure and resulted in a black, backlit screen, phone wouldn't boot.

beats works...but only one version and i forgot what ver is it.
Search in photon q forum history - it was my thread.
edit : I have found it
look here:

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!

Oh, I was not familiar with that acronym, but I do have the latest update, still would like some extra dB gain when using headphones though...

Speakerboost, its free on Google Play Store, it increases my Android's loudspeaker passed its actual maximum volume level, in other words louder than the default
how hard is that to understand

actually quite hard when you answer the way you did. when you have 2 or 3 possible solutions above your post and you just answer 'it worked' one finds it hard to tell which worked. and then responding the way you did full of arrogance when he asks you what you meant is counter productive to say the least. what's more in a post where YOU asked for help.
This is a mod based on the libraries Beats, completely replaces audioconfig Smart, does not increase the volume (and other fashion), only the sound quality.
With third-party players who themselves process the sound and ignore the system settings (such as poveraimp) not working (it will work if you turn off this processing in the player settings) as BeatsEQ this system EQ it works with system applications and change the sound when listening to Music, Video, WEB (Internet), BLUETOOTH, and other audio streams system.

Thank you so much. That increased the volume, and also, I used this mod and enjoy it very much
I got strange behavior with it. It works initially then when I disconnect and reconnect my headphone, no eq effect. sometimes it kicks in automatically in a minute or so sometimes doesn't.

Hi. I adquired a Xperia L and everything is good except for the volume and sound in the headphones. I used to have a Live with walkman and the sound was much better. I tried with viper4android but it have too many options and the sound is not so good. Can anyone would recommend me a mod? I looked in google but i can't find anything

You can try increasing the Max Gain value in Playback Gain Control of V4A, that should help, if all you require is higher volume..
And I would really recommend giving V4A another shot, the many options may seem intimidating at but once you try out different settings, you may come to love it (like I did ). Especially the convolver function, tty it out bro, you can find many good IRS samples all over the internet and here on XDA too.. I use BBE Generic Preset 4 myself..
I don't know much about other sound mods, sorry.. Hope this helps.

That is true, but the effect is not that big... Only a little increase in the volume level (tried with my earbuds, not headphones though). At least, thats what I've experienced.

when i turn on thundersonic sound engine it was drastically increase my sound level....it is very loud so i can't dare to increase volume more thn 10 level out of 14. I'm using Sony MDR-EX110 earphones...

Thats great that it works so well for you so well. I tried it again this evening, still not a large difference (don't know why), though I myself am content with V4A...

You can try "Music Volume EQ" from Play Store.

Different Kernels
Hi! I strongly recommend any kernel that you want for improving sound with your headphones, specially
Thunderzap v.4.1 r-2
or
Phantom v7.
If you have JB i recommend too the Phoenix Kernel for Xperia L, developed by the team of Navneet Suresh.
i recommend ViPER4Android :good:
Hey guys I just wanted to share I played around with the files and it was so hard to figure out how to get bass on this phone
I could enable temporary the bass with also mixer now I could enable permanently.
U will set the SAMPLERATE of the phone to
Frequencies:
KHZ_192
KHZ_96
KHZ_48
And set FORMAT to
Bit Depth:
S16_LE
S24_LE
Navigate to system/etc/mixerpath.xml
Open and
Scroll down to speaker settings in like in Screenshot
And put these lines
<ctl name="SLIM_0_RX SampleRate" value="KHZ_192" />
<ctl name="SLIM_0_RX Format" value="S24_LE" />
Just add and configure with viper4android
Because the Sony Walkman equalizer don't work after this.
U will hear the bass greatly
Enjoy
PS: it will work on all Kk devices based on Sony firmware
Included
Sony Xperia Z1 Compact
Sony Xperia Z Ultra
Etc
Not sure if it work with cyanogenmod roms just test

It actually works, thanks a lot! But now I can't actually adjust the volume, which is a major problem. Have you got any ideas? ?
Edit; Actually , if you turn off clear audio it works again. , also do you think it might work if we add those bits to the headphone section? With a few adjustments.
And you have to adjust The speaker with viper if you have it Volume boosted by the way.

Nope
Only these
KHZ_48

KHZ_192
And for Format only (this will activate Bass)
S16LE = low bass (nearly no bass)
S24LE = high bass (great bass but with distortion)

Thanks that's cool I will try these values and see if it will change I will update thread with more information for more clarification and I will upload my own modded mixerpath.xml cuz I put everything to limit but without distortion and sound good without quality lose again thanks
EDIT; it don't work I tried so only the bit depth I post and frequency are valid I don't know how to add more values I think it's in kernel? Or I don't know but still main thing we reached to get more bass on loudspeaker and only problem is to reduce the noise and bass strength, just lower volume is not possible cuz u will be not able to hear anything so I hope good devs can do something with these to get clear bass and clear voice playback on this speakers like the g2 or note 3

Go to all mic section

Everything related to it and change the

So most probably it's always at 12 just trigger it to 19
Same for camcorder-mic
You will have better sound record push it to 19 and the DEC3 Volume to 89 normally it's 83 or 82

Video's, and like i said, a little lower (20-30% maybe?, so if there's alot of bass around, the mic doesn't distort all the way around. I'm also not very good at editing stuff like this, so thanks if you can help with this! I bet there's more people who love a mod like this, since i heard some people talking about distorted sound with vids.

I edit the OP just check I tried all other settings like in the picture but I don't work only the listed one, look
16 bit depth it's to less and
24 bit depth it's to high
So 20 bit would be normal bass and acceptable so maybe one of our developers with more knowledge know how to add more bit depth and frequency? I don't know
