There was no need to start another thread on this but, hell, it seems these days everyone is doin it....Anyway, if volume+ and eq doesn.t work for you, atm you can.t do very much about it, you can either ask for another unit ( i agree the volume is low on sensation, compared to others, but frankly i did manage to get good results with volume+ and eq...) or wait until there will be an unlocked bootloader so that the custom roms can fix this issue (if they can, that is)
hmmm...well atm i think i just wait for the unlocked bootloader as promise by htc to come over.thanx bro...your words make me feel a lil bit release..lol
Volume+ 1.7.3 lets you set it even louder. +10 volume +5 bass and put sound on Good Quality. Makes it louder than my evo. Leave off VR stuff and other, also dont run the separate equalize app it makes the sound lower.

Thanks for that, I couldnt work out for the life of me whats was wrong, I could not get the volume to boost no matter what I tried, I just realised that the Speaker Modifications was enabled and one of the sliders was off default..
Now I got louder ringtones, so thanks for pointing that out..

1.7.3 or 1.37? The volume + im seeing in the market is at 1.37. Who's the dev?
Also i see an eq recommended in this thread, what is the name and developer (or link )

Volume + sound boost ( search ,,volume sound boost,, and there should be an icon with a black volume dial ) and the version is 1.7.3 100%
Equalizer ( as it says )
Volume + has some issues with incoming calls, when it Force Closes and it is quite annoying because you have to press the popup dialog before answering the phone. The developers says it is fixed since 1.7.2 but i still get the error sometimes...
Equalizer on the other hand works for me ( i-ve made a custom profile with all the levels at maximum)

VR gave me louder music but it seemed to lower notifications and ringer a bit. Maybe its just me lol
I purchased the app but I only got 1.7.2, don't see anyway to update it. I also didn't see any difference also, but that may be because I don't have the most updated version. ANY help, advice, direction would be great thanks...BTW I'm on T-Mobile Sensation.
thanks very helpful
I just want to add my 2 cents. The volume suck big time. I'm going to wait until they unlock the bootloader. I sure hope that is issues gets some attention from the gents here at XDA devlopers. Thats my 2 cents

I don't know. It's not getting any interest. U can try it and let me know.
Alright, sorry for being late ..
I wanted to check almost all the sound mods possible and get my hands dirty once and for all haha
Thanks for your hardwork , thanks for sharing ..
Now if I understand.. What this mod does is .. Changing the system files in charge of speakers control .
Say .. Speakers are set to work at 80% power by manufacturer , and this mod allows it to squeeze the 100% ... Am I right ?
I found it to be doing almost the exact same thing other apps do .. Except ..
It feels much cleaner and no bloatware or further libraries modifications which is great IMO . also I find it to not effect the quality as much and feels a bit louder than other speaker increasing apps " maybe my feelings tho "
I suppose it will work with any stock based ROM , it is working properly on 4.1.2 , yet .. I'll still advice making a NAND back up =)
I tried to do somewhat reasonable test running a video file , using a sound meter app on my mobile to test " not super accurate but tried to be as frank as possible , same situations, same video , same everything "
I got like 52-ish dB before , and a wooping 63-ish dB after .. Which is super good IMO
Difference is worth using and I'll keep using this mod until my tablet gives up on me ..
Thanks again .. You sir are a scholar and an artist .

Thanks for being the first review and for this encouraging post. I place another device with noise meter 2cm close to the speaker and got this 100ish dB result.
My mod only modified speaker volume but it's not to 100% also.
Originally, it 68% on stock rom. Right now, it is 73%. You still can increase it more, but the output will be distorted and the quality will decrease noticeably. I prefer quality over loudness
It works as promised:good:

Well in that case.. could you kindly guide me sir on how to do it myself,

I agree that quality is over loudness.. But.. the speakers are really low..
And... we can always lower the volume, but we can't increase it.. =)
There are some tight situations when you desperately need some more volume ^^'

Thank you Sir very much for this. I tested it just for 5 minutes ago with my xtz sgp321 (4.4.4) with a Timwin Recovery-System and it works fine. I had to have louder volume because I use my Navigation-System very extensiv and now I must say it's optimal. But I'll follow this thread everyday from now. Thank you again.

Sorry guys for the wait. I was pretty busy perfecting my StereoMOD for xperia Z. Btw, v2 will be aroma installer and it will be ready in hopefully this weekend or else next week. You have choices like various volumes for speakers, x-loud volume, and headphone boost. And let me know if u have any suggestions, i'll see if it is possible.
EvoMix kernel does my job for all the speaker and stuff! Just install kernel adiutor with it and increase the speaker gain. Maybe you can do some improvements with EvoMix kernel and BeastAudio giving away optimal performance for audio and battery usage Just a suggestion
Sorry guys i forgot that i made this mod. Let me rebased it to lollipop when i have time!

I think it's easier to open the file snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 with file editor and set sound settings for a limit you like, for example 68 or 71 or 75.
Also in 5.0.2/5.1.1 fimwares sony deleted xLOUD from sound settings that made sound less loud.
I have mod that restores it.
edit .. wrong thread.

Here is one you won't see to often...I have an android tv stick using bluetooth to link to an external portable speaker...when playing music it's pretty bass heavy...to avoid confrontations with my neighbors as I'm a bit of a night owl I'd like to DECREASE the bass....practically any google article I find is about increasing it. Can someone recommend the simplest preferably free method to tune the bass down?

Hi famewolf
here is one solution... if you use spotify you can lower the bass on the setting menu, spotify has a equalizer. if not i think you can try installing a app that allows you to do that.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up installing DSP Manager (from cyanogenmod...there is a version on xda that works on all roms) to the android tv stick and using it's bass reducer preset. Worked like a champ for pandora and plex.

From my point of view, viper 4 android is the best option. However, a bit of work must be done but worth the matter.

I'm guessing you're using the Idol 3, if so, you can turn off the JBL Audio equalizer in the audio settings. It's not much but it definitely lowers bass.

It is sad that the thread got 1 Star rating before even getting the chance of doing something good, well I'll fight my way up...
Snapdragon doesn't have Root, but hopefully in the future it will...
This thread isn't for how to TWRP/Magisk, Bootloader unlock or Root...
It's mainly for Volume controls and any other mic and volume modifications...

This DualSound / Dual Speaker Mod is not at all required on the S9+.
The sound as it is outta the box is quite amazing.
For those who had trouble enabling it, Make sure Dolby Atmos is enabled from the Notification Bar.
Additionally, this thread topic implies there is root for snapdragon S9/S9+ variants. There isn't (yet, anyway).

It's possible to increase it, I I only put 3dB gain for the Dual-Speaker and 4dB for the headphones as well...
It can be increased further but doing so won't allow you to use any other SoundMods, these values are considered Mid-level increase...
Thank you for your vote...
Mod works great guys
This thread was rated down because you tried to release a stereo speaker enabler mod for a stereo speaker device, and then tried to repurpose the thread after finding out about its redundancy.

That is True,
However my SoundMod have 2 purposes, to enable DualSpeaker (which is already enabled) and boost the volume (which is not there)...
Thus, renaming the thread to Volume Gain MOD...
Also because the description says Snapdragon. Which it's not. So that's probably another reason the thread was downloaded.

But I stated in the thread snapdragon is coming soon and that I am aware snapdragon doesn't have root...
I kept it in the title so snapdragon owners wouldn't think only exynos can have SoundMod...
After all, I planned on pre-releasing the SoundMod for both and got 1 star, when exynos got root and tested my MOD, they rated my thread which got me a bit up to almost 3 stars, I'm sure when snapdragon gets root and try my MOD they'd do the same and the thread gets higher than 4 stars...
1° of all, thank you very much for your contribution for the s9 community, despiste some criticism in my humble opinion your effort is very useful.

Sorry if this has been asked, I'm not on here much. Anyway, what's a good alternative to viper 4 Android? I've been on rooted pixels for years, so I really don't know what's best without root. I'm currently using Poweramp equalizer, and that definitely helps with the sound quality. But it doesn't match v4a.
Thanks!

Wavelet
v4a needs to be upgraded to fix original a12 device issues and I'm still believe they are developing updates, I've tried with wavelet, it couldn't be compared with v4a , I mean v4a is much more better than wavelet from my experience

I use boom player and dolby on Lenovo fold, galaxy fold 3 and s22 ultra. But wavelet it's really very good Equalizer for androids..
@Shiro39 and @WZDISMINE I must be doing something wrong with wavelet. Could you share your settings?
Because it is almost as no equilizer at all snd v4a seems 1000 times better in its volume improvement, clear highs and powerful bass.

Just did that, didn't change much. I tried pulling all the buttons up with bass being a nit more than the rest. Itbgot a bit better, but it's not even near V4A. This app is just amazing. I wish there was a non root version.
Or maybe another app just as good. I'm gonna search for one and if I find it I'll post here.

I use it for Bluetooth. Works very well for my car and home audio. I listen to a lot of podcast through the phone speaker and it works very well with the volume Booster that also works for calls over phone speaker
The best way and an alternative for me is VLC media player. I think it's better than V4A. It has really very very punchy and deeep basses, crisp and clear mids and highs. You must check before the equalizer. The downside is that, that i'm not able to stream content from the internet. Need some help, if it possible. Give it a try and have a great time!
Edit: Im using Jabra Elite 75t
I use Poweramp Eq, it´s paid, but not expensive. It process almost system wide like v4a, but you need to run an adb command. It also has a parametric eq, so you can set any band as you want, you can adjust frecuency, quality, gain and type of filer. I have the eq exactly the same as peace eq in my PC for my earphones
@nobrain3000 @danvrez players are not a good option because you won't be able to use Spotify, Youtube or any app that's not the player.
I wasn't using wavelet with it's full potential because I had the free version. Got the paid one and now I can customize bass. While the sound got better, V4A bass (and mids and highs) are way cleaner.
