I don't think this helps... Sound is always low on g3

You can use dsp manager to decrease the bass and increase treble
This way you will lose sound quality and get higher volumes
I think lternatives like increasing voltage (if at all possible) or something will definitely get you higher volumes but kill your speaker
Our speaker already struggles at higher volumes so try putting bass to minimum

I really wonder how many of us (users) can really get the difference
@OP: How is it that your speaker go crazy without any modification to system
I am sure you must have done something with dsp (if included in ROM) after installing the mod

[MOD]Surround Sound for LG G2 [G2/G3/AOSP]

This mod is brought to you by @langeveld024! If you like it, make sure you thank one of his posts as well. I have just tested the mod and modified the volumes to match our device.
Surround Sound/True Stereo MOD for the LG G2
This MOD requires ROOT
What is this?
This is a mod that allows the phone to use the earpiece combined with the loudspeaker to play sounds and music, thus resulting in a surround sound-like effect. The mod is made by editing mixer_paths.xml
Is it safe?
I've been thoroughly testing it on my LG G2 running OptimusG3 1.4.1 and CloudyG3 2.1. I tuned the sound to what I think the earpiece can handle without getting damaged. The earpiece is very clear and produces wonderful sound, but it's not that loud at all.
Other members of this fantastic community have tested the MOD on LiquidSmooth 4.0 (Lollipop) and on Stock LG firmware and reported that it works flawlessly!
Installation instructions
1. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP - PLEASE! This mod has ONLY been tested on OptimusG3 1.4.1 and not on any other ROM. So please make a nandroid so you can restore your phone in case it goes sour! I may be able to provide a flashable zip in the future, but till then, make a nandroid!
2. Copy your current mixer_paths.xml from /system/etc to somewhere safe then download mixer_paths.xml.
3. Move it to /system/etc and give it 644 permissions. 644 permissions looks like this:
xxo
xoo
xoo
4. Reboot and enjoy surround sound.
General piece of recommendation - Use this mod in conjunction with dorimanx kernel, as dorimanx kernel allows you to tune the loudspeaker volume easily using STweaks. You may need to turn down the volume quite a bit (-10 in STweaks) to avoid the loudspeaker overruling the earpiece. But then you'll really notice the mod!
Test the mod
To test if this works see: Left/Right Stereo Audio/Visual Test.: http://youtu.be/dvqbq_0jZ_U
I don't like this, what do I do?
Just move the original mixer_paths.xml that you copied to somewhere safe back into /system/etc and overwrite the old file. Then reboot.

reminded me of a classic acid techno track from the 90's
http://youtu.be/-YNW8Azq9TA
btw working nice on cloudy g3 2.1 with dorimanx kernel (stweaks sound settings on a screenshot, i tried to equalize both "speakers" as much as possible)
as you can see, main speaker gain is at its lowest setting (-10 vol)
btw do you think this mod will somehow affect in-call volumes? (mic & speaker)

btw i hope @dorimanx can somehow include this mod in stweaks as well...
only downside to this is that i mostly rotate my device 90ccw so left and right channels are switched but no biggie...
and i wouldn't call this "surround". something like "true stereo" would be closer
i tried a few sound tests on youtube and it really sounds better with this mod... music as well...

yeah cool mod, only downside the difference between the two speakers. The small one distorts easily, but indeed stweaks can help with that.

Thanks for the nice feedback.
I forgot to add to add that to the OP, as I use the exact same settings as you do in STweaks.
This mod shouldn't affect in call volume since it's made by copying headphone path into the speaker path and using the earpiece, so the earpiece only lines are left untouched.
I also rotate my device 90 degrees ccw and when I do that, my left speaker is the earpiece and right speaker is the loudspeaker. It might be different between cloudyG3 and optimusg3.
I really want some feedback from people who are using stock based ROMS.
-as for the loudspeaker volume, it's a thing that I need to consider. If I turn it down too low to achieve 'true stereo' i think people will complain that their overall sound is too low. And if I don't only people with dorimanx kernel will be able to tune the volume easily.

Then just suggest everyone should install dorimanx, simple as that

i'd always give my vote to clearer, better sound than giving it to a louder sound...
even though - the sound isn't that low with those settings (-10) it somehow just feels right now...

That's exactly my experience as well! So I think it's safe to say that this mod works for G3 based roms but for optimal sound quality, you need to use dorimanx kernel and turn down speaker volume to -10.

btw i forgot to mention
yesterday when i downloaded the file using the mobile device - it downloaded some kind of a ".bin" document (but i renamed it to "mixer-paths.xml" and everything was ok)
now i downloaded the new (cloudy) version from my PC - filename is correct...
just mentioning this to help someone if he/she got confused with the filenames (it's obviously some dropbox/android/android browser issue)
cheers, and thanks a bunch again

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?

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

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.

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.

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.?

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

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 know someone can or has already figured it out.
