Hello,
I tested the volume boost mod on my S3 gt-i9300 rom stock + CFroot (xxlef / xxalef) buyed in France.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722136
System/etc/default_gain.conf
I tested and read entire thread without success, no effect on my phone (speaker or headphone).
This file is present, but is ignored. Someone else tried the volume boost with a non-US phone ?
Pascal
workaround
This mod don't work on XXALEF, International gs3,
For my volume boost, headphone only, (I don't want the speaker killer boost) :
I used Franco Kernel, now I get a full power sound. (62 by default inside /sys/class/misc/sound_control/volume_boost)
Pascal
My samsung galaxy s6' volume sometimes goes really low and gets EXTREMELY BUGGY example: i would try to put my volume at 80% and it would sound like it was at 10%. I have to reboot my phone to fix it which can get quite annoying. This briefly occurs when i listen to music ect and take my earphones out and put them back in or exit an app that i am using sound for.
My phone (SM-G920F) has the latest tyrannus ROM version on 6.0 firmware. However the problem is how the error only started to occur when i downloaded xposed framework, could it be a certain module like amplify????
I use dolby atmos as my sound panel.
My phone is also fully rooted.
If you need any more info to help solve my problem please feel free to ask.
Thankyou for all your help

It started when you downloaded xposed so its probably xposed or a module
Hi everyone. Hoping to get some advice on here as I'mstarting to pull my hair out.
I'v got a Galaxy Note 10.1 Gt-N8010 running KitKat 4.4.2 and I have rooted the device.
My problem is that I cannot increase the speaker volume on the unit. The volume is significantly poor when trying to watch a film.
I've tried using various apps including volume+ but none of them seem to work.
Does anyone have an idiots guide on how to hack the settings within the unit.
I have tried using ES File Explorer but could not gget into settings.
Thanks
You mean that you cannot change the volume up or down?
Hi,
I have an issue with my Samsung Galaxy S8+.
If I try to play music via bluetooth to my speakers, the volume is very very low. The settings are on max and media volume sync can't be enabled.
I tried playing music with my Samsung Galaxy S7Edge and the volume was completely normal and very loud with nothing changed on the speakers.
I also tried this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/low-bluetooth-volume-car-fix-t3595530 with no result.
My BT speakers: https://www.trust.com/en/product/19367-tytan-2-1-subwoofer-speaker-set-with-bluetooth-black
My S8+:
Android 8.0.0
Stock
Knox triggered: 0
Never did any manual flash. Always just updated it.
Are there common reasons for this or good fixes? Or is it just a software bug?
Thanks for your time!

It's oreo, they messed up the volume and everything audio on oreo, no fix right now I'm going to make a topic to see if it's possible to downgrade back to nougat.
Not just an Oreo thing. I've had the same issue with the Bluetooth in my car as well.

Look at that post. I tried the force close method and it helped.

Odd, absolutely nothing changed with my BT devices when I went to Oreo.

it's amazing that you can't tell the difference at all, it's very noticeable, i am unable to hear anything when i receive calls in my headset either, this latest oreo update is broken.
found something online, it's something to do with media sync, try connecting the bluethooth device, then go to settings, bluethooth, 3 dots and select media sync, select on and make sure both phone and headphones volume is max and restart phone, anyone notice any difference? i'm testing it now.

Yea that was the first thing I have read about when I started searching for it. I wanted to try it, but it seems like my BT speakers are not compatible with it. It says that it isnt compatible when I try to activate it. Not sure if there is a workaround to make it working.
I don't think this is an Oreo specific problem. I've encountered this bug since marshmallow.
The only way I could get it to reset the volume back to max was when I used crdroid.
The volume would get set very low. I could open the global equaliser via Google music. And the volume would not change.
I would then access the global eq via another music player. Just make a tiny change to any parameters and boom. The volume is now set to the correct level again.
The moment I would use Google music to access the eq the volume would jump down again
My tablet is now on naosp and the volume issue has popped back up.
Doing the same procedure will reset the volume correctly.
It is rather annoying to have to do this.
I don't know what is causing the problem but it looks like the global eq ultimately effects the output volume disabled or enabled

No difference at all with three different devices I connect to. I do have media sync disabled already. Hopefully you get it figured out.
I've done a test on my S8+ now.
I downloaded the latest firmware and flashed it with a complete reset of the phone.

After the flash of it the BT issue is gone. This was done yesterday (4/10/2018). I will report back if the BT issue returns OR in like 2 weeks+ if everything is still fine.
GL everyone
new firmware released by samsung, lets hope this fixes the issue :S, i checked the notes and it does say fix for bluethooth.

do you need root for that though and i never had this issue in nougat, this issue first happened in oreo.
And i have a universal eq setting on a separate app called precise volume which does the same thing.

It dosn't work anyway, still the same, on a good note they have fixed the low volume for incoming calls on my headphones, just the music volume is still crap.
I think my only solution is another set of headphones that support LDAC but they are £300+ lol or to get a Microsoft music player, i have a laptop that even beats what the old volume was on nougat so maybe a Microsoft music player would be a good idea, gonna look around.
It was good while it lasted i guess.

I wasn't rooted before but since then have rooted via magisk systemless root. I can still use pay and bank access etc...
I'm using viper4android now and have also disabled the system EQ.
I have just got connects2 for my car last weekend.
On the odd occasion the volume will drop when opening automate(the driving launcher) which is set to launch playmusic on Bluetooth connection.
But as soon as I swipe down the volume jumps back up.

So you think it's worth rooting and do you notice any difference in audio quality?

Yeah for sure but be aware you might loose functionality on apps like banking and payments.
I use magisk to hide root so I can still use those functionalities.
Make sure you read into it first.
I've had a replacement connects2 module fitted today and all is going well.
Viper4android my EQ is absolutely amazing in comparison to other EQ and in my case the volume issue has been solved.
Actually it's really loud as I was used to the lower level.
Steps I took.
Unlock bootloader ( wiped my tablet)
Flash magisk
Install magisk manager
Added selinux module via magisk manager
Added viper4android via magisk manager
Disable global EQ
Set selinux to permissive
Install viper4android driver. Prompts when opening the app for the first time.
Reboot
And it's all good.
The bug with AutoMate seems to be tied to my maps speed prompting notification voice.
If it does revert to no EQ, I drag down from the top bar and it's back up again
I hope it works for you. Plus you now have a very awesome EQ as a bonus

Try enabling Developer mode (press Build Number 8 times). Then turn on Disable absolute volume. This de-links the phone volume control from the headset's volume control. Now you should be able to increase volume on both independently.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I had two pair of bluetooth headphones. A Cheap pair with volume control and a fancy pair of JBL Frees with no volume control. I could NOT figure out why sometimes the volume was great when they connected and other times it was VERY LOW all the while the cheap pair sounded great when I turned them up. I was at wits end blaming JBL and Samsung when it was a setting for Bluetooth devices.
Thanks again Huyi. Very glad I found this post.
