Hi developer dudes. I'm new to this site and all this rooting stuff. I've been searching for a way and trying different techniques to boost the headset volume on my phone. I've successfully rooted and installed recovery mode. I've tried installing a couple volume boost zips off some forums on here with recovery and the zips actually decreased the headphone volume. they had a link following right after with a zip to revert to stock. one of the revert zips restored my music volume but totally disabled my ear speaker volume, however one of them fixed everything so my phone is okay again. it just makes me iffy and hesitant with trying out more custom roms.
I've also tried ES File Explorer and changing the HPHL and HPHR to a higher number with guidance from youtube and it didn't do anything. I've also tried mtk engineering (some number that starts with*#*# and ends with *#*#) and it doesn't work for the xperia z2.
Please help me out developers with this. I want zip to install that simply raises ONLY the headphone music volume WITHOUT changing the sound quality of music.. I believe 128 is the volume limit manufacture have it set to and 160 I believe is the highest which is what I'm aiming for. All I want is louder music through my headphones, that's it. everything else about this phone is perfect as is.
Thanks for taking the time to read and thanks for your support!
I have just installed this and for now it works
I will let u know in 1 or 2 days is there any problem
Its not my work but pressing Thanks wouldnt be bad

Works great for me too. I also followed the above G4 guide. Unsure of battery drain at the moment.
I have been using this for more than a month and no battery drain issues or any other problem. Works perfectly. And yes I had followed the same G4 guide.
Phone Speaker profile + Surround sound!
I made a V4A profile after installing the Surround sound mixer_paths.xml found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/development/surround-mode-h955-t3376881/ (also edited volumes in post 3 of that thread.)
After installing V4A, go to Menu > UI Setting > select "Expert"
On the Phone Speaker tab:
Enable V4A-SpeakerFX
Enable FIREqualizer > Preset "Treble Booster"
Enable Convolver > Impulse Response "SonicHunter Speakers.wav" (Download it here, unzip and copy the .wav file to sdcard/ViPER4Android/Kernel/ folder on your phone. Credit to Vinardo_ZzZ 2000 and his awesome V4A IRS thread here)
Enable eXtra-Loud > Moderate > 6x > -6.0 dB
Output Gain 4.1 dB
Limit Threshold -3.0 dB
You may need to tweak the dB values according to content, but this particular V4A convolver combined with the surround sound mod has made for a pleasant stereo experience for me. Hope others will like it too.
I also suggest trying out Viper4713's Material mod for V4A 2.4.0.1 found here. Makes the app look that much cleaner.
@PhantasmRezound tried your settings but my earpiece speakers still distorts a lot. Better than original surround mod but still far from an enjoyable result. I think flex 2 earpiece can't be pushed to high volume. Thanks anyway

There is always a possibility for slight variance in hardware (aged speaker/phone case altering sound) but especially source material plays a part too. I was listening to a lot of music and movies just fine without extreme distortion... then certain YouTube videos that had clipping from poor gain and low voice tone distorted the earpiece for me too.
You can try to redo the surround values even lower, maintaining a difference of about 8 between the the speaker channels to maintain stereo balance. You may also use V4A from here and alter the last three gain values until the distortion is gone. For one video with clipping I watched, I had to drop eXtra-Loud to -10.5 dB and Limit Threshold to -6.0 dB to eliminate the clipping causing distortion, then reboost the Output Gain positive step by step until volume was higher again, without distortion.
Going to experiment with the high-pass filters and possibly other Qualcomm biquad filters in the mixer_paths.xml file next.

Same, anyone know how to solve this?
Make sure you are rooted successfully and your SU manager app is allowing root to those programs (using Chainfire's SuperSU here.) Ensure Busybox is installed and running properly (using Stericson's Busybox Free here.) SELinuxModeChanger should have Permissive pressed in/greyed out; reboot for it to take effect first time. Verify Permissive system in the system Settings > General > About Phone > Software. Make sure you're using the latest version of V4A compatible with LP (2.4.0.1 at this time.) Install V4A drivers from its menu and reboot; check Driver Status and it should read "Normal." If it doesn't, something above is broken or perhaps another audio mod may be conflicting (if you installed other full system EQ style mods, not stereo/boosted speaker simple mods typically.) If Driver Status is greyed out on the V4A menu you need to change FX Compatible mode to Normal. (Compatible mode isn't system-wide effect and only to use with certain audio apps like Poweramp that run EQ functions of their own alongside V4A.) Good luck and hope you can trace the issue down.
Thanks a lot. I got it working. What audio source are you using to test it?

above link is to a audio mod with both V4A and Dolby atmos, by TheRoyalSeeker
It is not my work i am just sharing it here coz it may work in our roms as it already works in mine.
I have tried it on my phone,
ROM skydragon 6.01
it works except for the sony sound settings,
also if it works on any other rom please post the status
share the joy :highfive:
I hope working with CM13
What do you mean that is working but not the sony settings? So just the viper audio settings? Cause viper4android was already working

yeah but dolby and v4a works right, im gonna try for cynapop will update post then
Everyone know Dolby and v4a working in CM13.
Flashed this mod with DD+ and it made everything sound garbled without even turning the mods on. All apps seem to work, including Sony player but results are horrible, something is broken there.
Oxygen OS 2.2.0 with Boeffla kernel
Edit: even bigger disappointment is finding out that V4A does not work on OOS. Damn!

I have tried this one three different custom CM13's so far and the Divine Equalizer has worked on none of them. I can get V4A working, but only if I install it using the "LoliViper" ZIP. Is there a fix OP or am I just screwed?
@Rub It is maybe you need to change selinux to permissive instead of enforcing?

Just tried it on CyanOxy and yes, short answer would be that it works but results aren't so impressive. Distortions creep in, while bass was lacking before this now is overblown and I can't find a way to tone it down effectively. V4A is hidden somewhere in there but installing regular app doesn't seem to work for adjusting, parallel to that there is so much sound processing that it is insane. Divine eq doesn't respond, two music players also fall apart when skipping songs. Not good. Maybe on some other phone or ROM... so for now, nandroid back and use just clean V4A. Although even that worked better on CM13
New v7.00 seems to work, and also has new approach - base zip with addons and/or apps separately :good:
Nope. Bluetooth is gone after flashing. Sound seems to be better than before flashing it, but with V4A turned off. Turning it on just ruins everything, so there is again too much processing out of users control.
Dolby Atmos is only other visible app and it just has to be turned off or crackling and distortions go over everything
Also volume control is broken, full volume is about on half of the scale, with horrible distortions, then it tones down and going louder again, only with more horrible distortions. Ugh.

Any way (.zip) to uninstall the Viper ?
Its pain in $$a to restore the ROM from TWRP
Viper is no problem but all other libs and changes are impossible to remove. Always backup before flashing this kind of stuff, then restore takes only a minute

I'm running H2OS 6.0.1 (V1.4.0) Firmware Version ONE A2005_24_160513 and it's working for me.
All I did was set SELinuxMod to Permissive using the SELinuxModeChanger app and used the Dolby Atmos Remover zip to remove DA mod. Working great with my headphones but haven't tried bluetooth audio yet, which is when I use my phone for music most...
Backup data first!
worst thing to flash. broke both my speaker and headphones. worst sound mod ever madhe.
Yup.
Problem with bad audio was on first OOS3 beta and later it was fixed, and with Dirac HD (whatever that is, sound is ok) on final OOS or V4A (which still plays funny with bluetooth, needs user fixing) - I don't see the point of these mods. They just create more problems, and do sound processing without any user control and cannot be turned off. That is just nasty.
Anyway, it is impossible to make it sound better with some software mods, it is just an illusion. We need better hardware, better DAC, better amplifier to really get better sound. Using OTG, or maybe just in-line headphone amp from FiiO or something similar. Short of that, V4A is more than enough for some tweaks.
I found the volume in headphones some low compare to my m2 aqua. I tried with Xposed modules like Gravity box and Volumesteps but for some strange reason, they make my music player crash (I use Poweramp) when I try to listen music. I want to increase the levels but i can't find the xml file to do it. In lollipop I remember there was a file called mixer_paths in system/etc but in marshmallow that file isn't there. Anybody knows which file I have to modify to increase the volume ?
In poweramp:
1) in the equaliser, try increasing the preamp level
or
2)in settings / audio / advanced options - turn on direct volume control
then try 1) again
You can use Viper4android and increase the volume gain. I'm sure that MTK EngineerMode can be added to the firmware, in my various tests I successfully launched it only one time by adding the app but my firmware was heavily modified and I can't repeat this since reflash, increasing the volume works and the sound was VERY high. But don't worry it's on my "to do" list

I've already have viper (the xHifi version) and it increase the bass but not the volume. Actually I tried with MTK but an error doesn't allow me to use the app (it said something like i don't have "mediatek chipset"). I'll wait until it works. Also, do you know what causes the strange crash that i described when I use Gravitybox to increase the volume levels? I really want to increase; I used it with other phones before and never had any problem.

The Mtk EngineerMode is not implemented in the firmware that's why you can't launch it. In Viper4android you have to switch the UI to "moderate" or "expert", you will have access to "master gate", increase "output gain". I can't help you for Gravity Box because I don't use it for that.
I have a VERY good news for XA and Ultra users, the MTK EngineerMode is back! :victory: (for rooted devices)
Guide and files for soon.

This is great!!
So before updating I had a couple of sound mods because the stock volume is way too low for me. But after the update I did a wipe ofc and now I can bearly hear my music. I installed the volume booster magisk and viper4android but there is no difference. The only thing that I did before different was editing a file in /system/etc. Something like volume limiter. It was at 80 something and I changed it to 99. But after the update that file doesn't exist in Android 10 apperently. I'm rooted and I know my way around modding and stuff. Is there any way to boost my audio volume? I'm talking about Bluetooth headphones btw...

Am I doing something wrong? What settings do you use?
I had the same problem. Pie was crappy. Q is horrible for Bluetooth volume.
I fixed Pie by installing Viper, but I cant get Viper to install its driver in Q.
This might be why Viper doesnt work for you, either. It isnt installing its driver.
I did find a way to increase the gain in Q though.
1. With your headset connected, press Vol + or - to get the pop out menu.
2. Press the little EQ icon under the volume menu.
3. Press the gear icon for the "Sound and Vibration" settings menu
4. In that menu, press Dolby Atmos.
5. Near the bottom look for "Style preference" under the Earphone adjustment section
6. This will bring up an Equalizer.
7. Turn up the gain !!!

I installed this as well but other than downgrading my viper4android version it didn't do much... In mastergate I put the output to Max but it's still so quiet. I find it embarrassing how a jailbroken iPhone can do this is 2 seconds but with an rooted Android it's impossible?. Where is this Dolby plus? I just have the normal settings.

Check if sound is processing by pressing icon next to settings icon. If not, go to settings/apps and clear viper storage and set up again. Dolby plus is part of a custom rom. Try getting viper to process sound first.

There is a change that is clear. Yea I know... I installed the custom rom m
So is there any solution to this? I also noticed that my bluetooth volume is way more silent now, even if I go up with the volume.
