Xperia J - Loudness

Hey, when i hear music over in ear headphones, then it is pretty quiet.
My old LG was much louder with the same mp3 files.
Only when i use the build-in speaker, then it is loud enough.
Somewhere i read that that is limited by the EU to prevent hearing damage.
But that doesn't help me, because all my MP3's are almost same db level (mp3 gain).
Is there a way to get it louder? Ofc. does my phone has root.

Try using this app from the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.omegacentauri.SpeakerBoost&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm1vYmkub21lZ2FjZW50YXVyaS5TcGVha2VyQm9vc3QiXQ..) It seemed to work for me on my Galaxy Y. I'm not sure about any other phones, I haven't even tried it on my Miro.

As I told someone else , Do what i did, find the app called earpiece in the play store. After you install it, open up a music player, play a song, crank up the volume and open earpiece app. Next.thick the audio trough earpiece box and see what happens. You should hear a huge difference and the sound isn't distorted. If nothing changes just click and un click it a few times untill you hear a difference. And also if that's not enough you can also thick the volume boost box but that, as far as I can tell makes your treble stronger and leaves out the bass. Anyways just try it and I can promise your volume will improve.
Btw this works great with the headphones, I haven't tried it on the speaker phone. So just try it out and tell me if it works

Well i've tested gamer649's app until now. And it doesn't work for me. I cant hear any changes, even with 100% loudness.
Earpiece also not worked for me. It only worked with the built-in speakers, but there was no change on the headphone loudness

Regarding the earpiece app, did you remember to click on the " Audio Trough earpiece"?
Try it and if you don't hear any changes try it again a few more times. Sometimes it takes a little while until the app changes the volume( even dough in my case it starts right of ).

Well, of course that works. It can change the loudness of the speaker on the back and from the front, but has no effect on the headphones. They still have the same loudness even when i pull it up to the max ...

You can always try custom ROM like me - CM10 works fine on J, minus few minor bugs. It's pretty loud and the equalizer is just some nice stuff. :good:

Hmm yeah, would be an idea.
But before i try that, i want to try to get it work. I've also written sony an e-mail, and they said, that they had to limit the loudness because of an EU law

we've already tried fixing the loudness in the stock firmware itself but it didn't work... no im on CM10 and enjoying the music !!!

[BUG] SONY Xperia Z5 - headphone jack - static + hissing noise

SONY Xperia Z5 - headphone jack - static + hissing noise​
Description
Static / hissing noise through headphones and speaker while playing sounds (music etc.) especially on low volume. If DSEE HX is enabled in audio settings while using the official Sony music app, the sound is perfectly clear.
DSEE HX ON + Sony Music App = perfect sound
DSEE HX ON + YouTube, PowerAmp, ... = static noise
DSEE HX OFF + Sony Music App, YouTube, PowerAmp, ... = static noise
affected devices
Sony Xperia Z5
Sony Xperia Z5 Compact
Sony Xperia Z5 Premium
android version
Android 5.1.1
Build Number: 32.0.A.6.200
kernel: Stock, AndroPlus, etc.
troubleshooting
- flashed new / diffrent kernels and roms = same issue
- send to Sony Repair -> had to pay 250€ for repair because of unlocked bootloader = nope, certainly not

Anybody with the same issue?

I think I have it too, but I'm not sure.
My phone has cracked glass on back side so imo they will not repair it for free even with locked bootloader.
Did You check sound without headset?

Not all Z5s affected - mine is fine. I just tested the Sony Music App and turning DSEE HX on and off. Headphones are older Sennheiser PX 200 - maybe some audiophile will have 10 reasons why they're crap and my test doesn't count BUT there's NO STATIC doing the tests above.

Yes, I tested it with several headphones (good ones, and cheap ones). I know I have a good hearing (the first volume step is enough for me), but it MUST be audible for every normal person.

You tried different headphones ? (I've tried 2 different headphones so far, and experienced this only upon using the other pair yesterday: Creative EP630; vs. some Philips Headphones where it didn't occur - so far ...)

uh, okay
I remember that at the beginning there wasn't any static noise but now the only option that "fixes" this is using DSEE HX,
this is ridiculous !
(I'm also getting this on the Galaxy S1, btw )
This bothered me a great deal since sometimes I listen to music before I sleep and it's really annoying - getting me to be more alert rather than more and more sleepy
One way to promote DSEE HX
Could be that software updates to certain components (kernel ? music player ? libraries ?) did cause this or some other factors

I tried the Z5 headphones, Sennheiser In-Ear CX 300, and Sony MDR1A. With the MDR1A the sound quality was ok.
I tried diffrent kernels, flashed diffrent roms...everytime the same problem. I think DSEE HX is only enabled in the Sony Music App. If someone could find a solution to enable it systemwide, that would be great.

Yeah, I'm planning to use this phone partly for work & at home so it has to work flawlessly - calming after some stress is also part of the plan.
Nice ! I've got the same Sony MDR1a, will see how those work for me
Anyone took a look at the following soundmod ?

Project Desire have many Features like an improved DSEE-HX for better Audiophile feel or White Noise Killer, it's Ultra Clear and wonderful for your ears, you will hear what you never heard

Challenge accepted :silly:
(once I unlock the bootloader & use custom parts - I'm still seeing whether I can get this all to work without modding & mainly work on Sony's part )
@alphatact1cs that MOD appears to be system-wide, it's not DSEE-HX but it's a start, after that it might only be some modding to get DSEE-HX globally
edit:
okay, tested the following additional headphones (high quality ? what are their differing characteristics ?)
MDR-1a
Xiaomi Piston V2 (2.1)
in both the static noise ("white noise") was still there but only much more subtle - still annoying in the long run
edit2:
is this "static noise" equal to IMD+Noise measured by gsmarena ?
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z5-review-1326p7.php

If yes, it would be nice to know if the original Xperia Z also head this "behavior":

I added it to my INDEX so others will find it, thanks.
Its not a permanent noise, it interferes with the music, but only when a tone is played. I have to get my phone back from Sony, then I can try new solutions and record the distortion.
[INFO]: Lower SPL/mW means lower noise. The device has to use a higher voltage to generate the same amount of volume = fewer distortions.

Got some new experience:
If "Developer Options" are enabled and "Use AwesomePlayer (deprecated)" is toggled, then there's no output for Sony's Music app (while DSEE HX is enabled),
but the other music apps (only some ?) still work but there's also still the white noise while playing music (e.g. JetAudio), so I assume that doesn't use NuPlayer ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(also posted in ProjectDesire thread)
Another observation:
When setting the preamp to -30 dB on the Galaxy S1 (Voodoo Sound Mod), the white noise mostly goes away - the max output isn't as high as with preamp set to max (of the hardware limits) - but output is much clearer and appears less distorted (IMD, THD ? http://www.gsmarena.com/gsmarena_lab_tests-review-751p4.php )
The difference is that with DSEE HX on the max output appears to be non-changed from the default (e.g. no settings or ClearAudio+),
so DSEE HX appears to utilize the hardware's full potential (preamp TFA98XX according to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64005513&postcount=4),
while also tuning the software to optimum ...
edit:
essentially what the following does: https://github.com/AndroPlus-org/an...mmit/3ad9cddb55bc361c8bf8f6d38159c7d4efd95b92 Fix static noise on high end headphones , but that comes with the issue of voice cancelling not working, so perhaps not so low values ...
Looks like we also need some sort of Voodoo for the Z5 series ( @supercurio I'm looking at you)

I think Rev4 is the one with least problems. I don't feel this, think lucky me.

Hi all,
Just had this problem on my Z5. Fixed by going to Settings > Sound & notification > Audio Settings
and turned DSEE HX off and ClearAudio+ off. Then in Sound effects, turn everything off.
Cheers.

I get the hissing statistic background effects too when playing videos, music, games etc.. Anybody found a solution to this?? Changing audio settings doesn't make a any real difference.. possibly a software/driver bug?? I can't remember if the sound was hissing on lollipop before I updated to marshmallow.. it's subtle hissing-static but very noticeable when putting the speaker close to the ear.. It almost sounds like sound interference or sound crossover (different frequencies overlapping causing static rustling hissing effect)..
Original Xperia Z never had this issue.. I just hope it's not device/speaker related as I can't be bothered going through a long process for a replacement..
But if it was device speaker related, wouldn't the noise also occur while on a phone call?? Both internal and external sound?? Just a thought..
I'm going to look in to this further and see if I can find a possible perm fix or something, unless one already exists..
Any ideas guys??
Sent from my E6653

Okey, I found an ACTUAL fix for this, believe it or not You do have to pay a few dollars for an app called FauxSound if u want it to work though, and it's not 100% perfect, but makes the white noise inaudible in ALL apps for me. Also, it's not my fault if this doesn't work for you, or ends up exploding your phone or something :3
I expect most of you to find this as easy as installing any mod, but in short you have to use FauxSound (or maybe an alternative, I used FauxSound) together with a supported kernel, which in my case was Zach's Kernel Playground. Stock and AndroPlus does NOT work. Long story; after installing the kernel (or the FauxSound supported kernel of your choice) through TWRP and downloading FauxSound from Google Play, I opened the app and put "Digital Output Gain Controls" down to -17 after toggling "Link Headphones Gain Controls". Keep in mind that I use the Headphone volume boost mod which is posted somewhere here on XDA, so unless you also use that, you might want to turn it to -10 or so. After that it was as simple as turning volume a few steps higher than normal and listening to music with NO white noise/static . Best part is that if you're using speakers where the volume is too low, you can use the same app to boost the volume past what's standard. That also includes your phone speakers, but be careful not to break your phone or other equipment.
BTW, I use the Z5 Compact, and I'm suspecting you Z5 users to have more kernels to choose between. Also, this might use more battery or something, don't know and don't care.
Gonna go and post this on Z5C forum too, good luck
Edit: Also, the FauxSound app has a bug where your settings will reset when you open the app/browse through its menus. TURN DOWN THE VOLUME BEFORE CHANGING THE SETTINGS. Or else you'll get your volume turned up to max and blow up your ears. It also MIGHT reset when phone has idled, and will (depending on your settings) reset when you reboot your device.
Also, small bug when phone has idled, if noise is higher on one earpiece or goes up and down, go into the app and drag "PowerAmp" up or down.

Edit: Wrong acc :|

One possibility could be the Audioflinger
The Audioflinger has the normal outputs like Direct, Fast, Deep Buffer, etc. and a special one made by Sony for Sony devices called Sony High Resolution Audio API
This cause why we have DSEE-HX and why we can hear Hi Res songs on all Sony phones up to Z3
So my theory is then that they made some mistakes on the Audioflinger on the normal outputs which cause this static noise, and that's then why u don't have it on DSEE-HX because there the Sony Hi Res Audio API works and that is a new output
I hope I could help a bit with that, again that's just a theory and I just can know that when I have the source code

Hi everybody
I've had the same issue described in the 1st post since I bought my z5 e6653.
Now I updated it to 32.3.A.0.376, Nougat. Nothing seems to have changed,but I experienced interesting things, even if i don't know if they are related to the nougat update but my situation at this moment is the following:
Google play music or Sony music: headphones + DSEE HX on-> perfect sound
Google play music or Sony music: without headphones -> noise even with DSEE HX
Any video or game: noise anyhow
But...
First strange thing:
Spotify with or without headphones, DSEE HX on or off..perfect sound! It's the only app at this moment to have a perfect sound without any "help" nor DSEE HX !
Second:
I read something above about faux sound, but I tried with a free app that is "volume booster goodev": when you open this app it's just a pop up and you can choose the % of boost. That's the strange thing: I press play in Google play music, then I set the % of boost on 0 or 1% in that pop up and...the noise goes away!! The same volume (1% boost is not so much and it works even with 0%) but without this annoying noise! And it seems to be working with all of my apps.
Why a simple app can solve this problem while Sony doesn't move a finger?

OP6 bluetooth volume fluctuates

Hey I think this problem came after updating to official pie.
The problem is that if I play music on Spotify using a Bluetooth speaker the volume sometimes lowers itself then goes back to the normal volume, then lowers itself again, and it keeps doing that. I have tried 2 different Bluetooth speakers and same problem on both of them. This doesn't happen to my friends phone on of the speakers which is his. Does anyone else have this problem ask as well? It's have you fixed it? Headphone volume is working properly, it's only the Bluetooth.

I think the problem was that I had the volume slider on my phone at Max and only used the buttons on the speaker device to adjust the volume. Having the slider at about 50% I now don't have that problem, for now at least. It was the low bassy parts of songs that most often got it's volume lowered for bit.

You're not crazy! It happened to me and drove me crazy. I think it was an issue with Spotify although I'm not sure but it's gone for me now as far as I can tell..

Finally someone else also. I posted about this one other time but nobody came across. But I guess V4A helped in it, I'm not sure though.

Drove me crazy as well, I did a factory reset. However, the problem got worse, the maximum volume of all my bluetooth devices was extremely low.
I finally fixed the problem by disabling the "Disable absolute volume" in the developer option menu.
Love the oneplus phones, (started at the one), but the audio especially over bluetooth really bothers me...

My first OnePlus phone was also the One. And upgrading to the 6 best decision ever still. But yeah the Bluetooth problem needs to be fixed :/ I tried the disable absolute volume to a while ago but it didn't help for me with the volume going up an down by itself.

This is happening to me. I thought it was my headphones or Deezer but I've tried the headphones with more devices and it doesn't happen. Glad I'm not the only one.

I've had this same issue occur whenever I had V4A Installed. After installation and setup, it'd work just fine, then randomly this same issue occurred. Curious to see if anyone can relate

same problem here, I fixed it by using a custom rom for now

Turn off Bluetooth
Connect a Wired headset go to Audio tuner
Disable Equalizer
Disconnect your wired headset
Turn of Bluetooth again
And Valla! Problem solved.

This fix is working great. Somehow the audio tuner was conflicting with Bluetooth audio output. Although I feel the sound is now a bit flat, the annoying issue is resolved. Need to test this on 9.0.3.

Low ringtone/notification volume fix?

Hello, I have a regular pixel 3 and the ringtones/notifications are way too soft. I've noticed that if I'm playing a game or watching a video, the volume is great when notifications come through. Is there a way for notifications and ringtones to use the same audio channel (not sure if I'm using the right terminology here) that video and games use? I've read that it's "working as intended" per Google, and notifications and ringtones only play through the bottom speaker. Just trying to find a way to not miss so many calls when the phone is in my pocket.
Tldr: the notifications are too soft, and can it be fixed.?

Does that require further configuration, or will it "just work" after installation? I've read about it, and I think I need root for it, which I'm willing to do, just want to make sure I can get it working if I go the root route.

2.7.1 pretty much just works, you still need to configure it to Ur taste but it's a lot easier to install than previous versions

That's awesome, thanks for your answers. Final question - do you have viper4android installed on your pixel 3 and can confirm the audio plays out of both top and bottom speakers at a louder volume?

Yes it does indeed

If you read a couple of posts up, I asked the same question and acidspider said viper4android does utilize both speakers for notifications and ringtones and plays at a louder volume according to him/her. As to configuration, I don't know. I haven't tried it yet. I was probably gonna wait a bit and try it later. Maybe after the August updates.

Clean it with alcholo

Still not loud and doesn't use both speakers

I've tried every setting I could and the Pixel 3 ringers and notifications are still not loud and will not play out of the top speaker!
Someone should be able to figure this out?
It would really help if both speakers were utilized.

Just a screenshot of the main page and also have unconfirmed it is processing when playing music through speaker?

Viper Settings
Yes both speakers work except for ringers and notifications.

I don't see why that shouldnt work, have you the audio modification library and audio compatibility mod installed from magisk?

Yes they are installed. No matter what I do the ringer will not come out of the top speakers nor get loud enough.

I have the same problem. Did you found a solution?
I have also installed audio modification library and audio compatibility mod from magisk.
Maybe edit mixer_paths?

ok, ringtone/notification still low volume, but after testing the viper4android IS working in general sounds. Just not for the ringtone/notification, lol!

I haved personalised ringtone and the volume war too low. Since I use the officially ringtone, this is fine for me.

No solution found!

No, I haven't found a solution and the phone is still brand new in the box since it is useless if I can't hear it ring!
I also have a 3XL and the ringers and notifications also only come out of the bottom speaker but at a higher level.
I know someone can or has already figured it out.

Question Low Call Speaker Volume

Hello to all and thanks for reading this...
This device is amazing, but when i use speaker for calling the sound is very low, i cant hear anything if i'm in the car or other outdoor places.
this problem is software related because if i call someone trough (es Watsapp) and use Speaker, the loudness is much more high and i can hear very well the caller.
there is a way to fix this problem? can i increase the calling volume ??
Thanks !

hi you can try restarting your phone and seeing if that fixes it, if not you can see go to setting and search 'clear speaker' and follow its instructions. or you can update your phone to latest version. if that fails then you are probably in a place that is too noisy.
ask again if you need help.
