Anyone have fix for low volume from speaker? - Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers

I edited the xml default is set at 84 but if I changed it to 90 it is in system/vendor/etc and their are two one I think is for headphones only other is for speaker but mixer_paths.xml editing doesn't seem to work on this device I did flash vipre and audio mods but volume is still sooo low anyone know how I can actually boost it I am ex infantryman and it's just soooo quiet vs the g6.

Under Viper there are setting for phone speaker called speaker optimization
and extra loud. Did you enable those?

Use the built-in Equalizer, AudioFX. Edit the Custom Preset.

Restore stock.

Had to rma it bad speaker tried everything got a new one in like 3 days just suggest you reflash latest stock unroot and relock bootloader works great now!

But ya I did everything you could think of the speaker was just blown so if you use vipre.be very careful.

Following.
I already did the hardware fix. Its better, but still not quite there.
This is the default values of vendor/etc/mixer_paths.xml. Seems like there is tweak in there somewhere
<path name="handset">
<ctl name="RX1 MIX1 INP1" value="RX1" />
<ctl name="RDAC2 MUX" value="RX1" />
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="EAR PA Gain" value="POS_6_DB" />
<ctl name="EAR_S" value="Switch" />

I just tried editing the /vendor/etc/mixer_paths.xml file. After reboot, it reverts back to original file!

Which values should be changed & to what?

I was playing with these
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="EAR PA Gain" value="POS_6_DB" />
Does anybody know if its OK to change the permission from 644 -rw -r -r to something tighter so the phone can't restore the file after the mod?

My Microphone doesn't work on speakerphone?

I modified the mixer paths file to make my speakerphone louder but now my caller can barely hear me talk. How do I fix this?
Sent from my Oneplus One using XDA Free mobile app.
Could someone help me? Maybe if I replace mixer paths file with stock unmodified file it will fix this? But then my speaker volume will be low....

Could be a serious problem. Check if these solutions work. Otherwise contact oneplus for rma

I have the same low mic volume when in speakerphone mode, i tryed the mic mod here:

And now the speakerphone mod is loud and clear but loosed a little the volume in normal calls mode.

My upper microphone doesn't work properly. When I use the telephone with the handsfree function, the other part doesn't hear me.
I have to talk with my lips touching the hole where this microphone is. If I speak only to five centimeters far away this microphone, they don't hear anything at all.
I have tried with several roms, so it has to be a hardware issue.
I would like to know if I can set up any parameter to use the normal microphone even with the hands free function.
I have improved it modifing the file mixer_paths.xml as shown below, but it is not enough
<!-- Analog input devices -->
<path name="hph-mic">
<ctl name="DEC5 MUX" value="ADC2" />
<ctl name="IIR1 INP1 MUX" value="DEC5" />
<ctl name="DEC5 Volume" value="40" />

</path>
<path name="anc-mic">
<ctl name="DEC2 MUX" value="ADC5" />
<ctl name="DEC2 Volume" value="100" />

I'm going to try some of your mods.

Request : Mixer_paths stereo surround mod

Hi there!
I've bought a Lg G flex 2 for a good price to replace my faulty nexus 5. On my old phone i've had used a mod that enabled stereo sound using the earpiece as a left speaker and my main speaker as the right one and loved that!
After searching on the internet i found out that that mod was enabled on various phone models but not on flex 2
So, i'm asking if anyone could try to make this mod on this phone, since i don't know how to do it ( just know that i have to replace the mixer_paths.xml file).
Thanks in advance

Well, I took the plunge and edited myself my mixer_paths.xml file and achieved stereo sound on my G flex 2.
If anyone want to try it and enchance the settings just download the file and use the instructions here :

Please share your experiences and i'm not responsible for any damage to your speakers.
Can you explain a bit more detalled what is the improvement in our Flex 2 using this mod?
Thanks!

This mod enables the earpiece as a left speaker and the loudspeaker as a right speaker so that you can listen to stereo sound instead of mono sound with your flex.
It didn't work in my device {Rooted H955 v 15c}, even LG's music player stopped working, just for your info, i had to go back to stock xml file.
Edit, tried again and it seems to be working now, I had to change permissions, now it looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Is there any way to adjust the balance? The speaker on the back is much louder than the front so it sounds off
Nevermind, i figured it out, if anyone else has this problem open your edited mixer path, find this:
<!-- Start LGE Mono Speaker -->
<path name="speaker">
slightly under that is
<ctl name="RX7 Digital Volume" value="79" />
lowering this number makes the left side louder - raising this number makes the right side louder
i found 72-73 gives the best balance depending on your preference

Yes, you have to edit the mixer_paths.xml file. Go to the " <path name="speaker">" and search for the lines :
<ctl name="RX7 Digital Volume" value="79" />
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="88" />
The "rx7" is the volume of the louspeaker and the "rx1" is the volume of the earspeaker, so you just have to change thoses values at will
Edit: Also, as francescrm said, you have to change permissions to the file like that.

Lol, just spent the last hour figuring this out for myself with trial and error and edited my post literally like a minute before you posted this
btw, the earspeaker gets a bit distorted at max normal volume, guessing that theres not an option to tweak that a bit eh?

Great timming lol.
Btw, the original volume for louspeaker is "84"
After searching about this mod on the G3 i found other lines on that mod to enable High Pass filters e Low pass filters to reduce the distortion on the earpiece but tried it and didn't saw any diference.
I will attach that file from g3 mod if you guys want to try those lines for yourselfs and post your experiences

And you should not put a xml file from a diferent phone model on your phone. I just posted that file for reference
I think one of the lines is this :
<ctl name="RX3 HPF cut off" value="MIN_3DB_150Hz" />
It would be usefull if theres was somethin on the internet explaining the possibilities of modding this file. If anyone knows anything like that please share

Worked fine
Cool. Worked fine for me (on H950PR). I copied OP's entire 'LGE Mono Speaker' entry and replaced it in my mixer_paths.xml file, rebooted and had stereo sound. Thank you.
Code:
<!-- Start LGE Mono Speaker -->

<ctl name="COMP0 Switch" value="1" />

Even at max volume, distortion was acceptable. I added the low cut filter line, rebooted, but did not notice any difference.

i've just tried, it doesn't work..
I did more tests, and i think that we can't achieve true stereo sound. The earpiece simply can't serve as second loudspeaker. Maybe it's possible to tweak it in order to reproduce high frequencies on the earpiece and the lower ones on the loudspeaker, as the htc 10

Increase your earphones sounds [BY ADDING SOME LINES]

SONY HAVE ADDED SOME LIMITER TO THE EARPHONES SOUND SO THIS PROCESS WILL HELP U INCREASE THE LIMITER
PRECAUTIONS
#Save your stock Mixer.path.xml which is used here...
#try this only if you are on stock sound
#In case something goes wrong just replace it and sorry its not working for you
Steps
Step 1. Go into system /etc/ mixer.path.xml
Step 2. Open that file
Step 3.find this lines
<path name="headphones">
<path name="headphones-lite" />
<ctl name="COMP1 Switch" value="1" />
<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="11" />
<ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="11" />
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="84" />
</path>
Step 4. Increase the volume by increasing value of Rx1 And Rx2
Step 5. U can increase max at 99 and my suggestion will be 88 or 90 not more than that..
Stpe 6. Save this file
how about speaker?
i really ****ed with that, i don't know any notification even that's an incoming call
Nah default is just best.. Because for few day u will think u are king of the world but some time speaker will start screening like its get braked up... And u have replaced it.. I had replacd mine

REVERT TO STOCK
With love from Belarus
Anyone tried this? I'm still on MIUI 9. Will try it when I get back to LineageOS.
Yeah man, it works as advertised, thanks. Would you be able to tell me (by line # or title) which values I need to change (I'm guessing the ones which are 93 now) for headphones and earpiece? I may want to increase them.

How to make call audio work with custom rom

Using squid2's XML files from his github I was able to get phone calls working on all of the ROMs I used, I'm also using Google dialer instead of factory.
Replace the current ones in the system/etc folder and reboot and calls should work.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzk7IAINn5jfbmFDUG5HaEFTLUE/view?usp=drivesdk
The only problem I'm having is call audio is kind of low and I'm not sure exactly how to make it louder.
In stock ROM, there is: /etc/mixer_paths.xml
I imagine it is in the custom ROMs as well. If so, copy & open the file in Notepad++, then edit line 737 (or look for <ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="84" />
84 is the stock level. Increase it to what you'd like, but don't go crazy. I made mine 88. Save the file and replace it on your phone. Set permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.
You can also edit overall speaker volume by editing lines 25-31, 35,36
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX3 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="IIR1 INP1 Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="IIR1 INP2 Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="IIR1 INP3 Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="IIR1 INP4 Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="DEC1 Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="DEC2 Volume" value="84" />
Again, don't go crazy as you could blow your speaker or your ears.

The one I have used works well at the proper level of sound for the boost version. I legitimately believe that there are minor differences with parts in each Moto E4 variant. (I had this issue with the camera back then with the LG Volt {Virgin vs Boost})
CDMA?

You could probably limit your max volume that way. Seems risky and unnecessary though. Why not just turn the volume down?

the minimum volume is comfortable but some people while calling mentioned that they are hearing their own sound back as an echo (may be their sound is being picked up by my microphone )....so i was thinking that reducing it below minimum level could solve it.

No, that's a network issue. Nothing to do with your device's volume in any way. It happens to my wife occasionally on her e4. Usually in certain locations. I know it's the network because it happens with her other phone as well. In her case, it's Sprint (or Sprint mvno).
