Don't know if this will work for poweramp, i haven't test it, but i think it will not work, i mean it will not increase audio quality.
But please try this tweak, i want to know if it work on poweramp

Did you backup current ROM? If you have custom rom zip from JB 4.1? If so, copy all soundfx file into your current ROM and set permissions to rw-r--r-- (644)
If still FC, you need to replace audio_effect.conf with original file in system/vendor/etc
Used on XT, Doomlord 199, works like charm.

ok this is what I have tried. flashed the mod and rebooted. no change on audio, so I installed the sound enhancement apk and rebooted. enebled it in poweramp, to access this in poweramp you have to simply hit tone control settings then long press on it, unfortunatley there is and always been a problem with this as a sudden drop in volume occurs, even with the volume and preamp on full its still to low. I havn't noticed any audio change, but this was simply done using £120 headphones, as I have no audio testing equipment.

works with Walkman app and now has the better sound quality than poweramp. previously both these apps had a very similar sound. where as now the Walkman one is much more open and far better clarity. not sure whether to thank you though as I had to pay for the other lol.
works but seems laggy when openning Volume in settings
edit: after wipe dalvik cache and cache it solves
...thanks
but works not with Apollo : https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=apollo&fdid=com.andrew.apollo
"soundoptimizing crashed"
Working under .199 version and Z2 walkman apk!
With .295 I experienced some micro-stops, but with .199 no issues so far. It is not such a difference but I still notice the enhanced bass of the mod.
Good job! :good:
Work well! :good:
volumen error, why?
Wow great...
Work in my xperia M
Thanx master
works brilliant on t/.205. awesome job. : )
This is working my Xperia Sp Stock 4.3?
I was hoping this mod could bring me back my a-jay's headset (lost since upgrade to 4.3), missed !

It's not related my mod buddy, it's bug from SONY, you can fix it by remove android-res.apk on system/vendor/overlay

Can you please be more explicit. I can`t find the lines that you mentioned in your anwer. So please tell me wich values do I have to change for the stereo headphones. Thank You!
please update the download links..
Tried the mod on 4.4.2. No sound, everything that wanted to make a sound locked up the phone. Copied the backup original back to the phone, but the fault continued. Ended up having to reflash the rom.
Hi Friends.,

Yup, work perfectly
You should acknowledge Monivan's work for the stereo mod
His stereo mod's been around for half an year so you should at least give him credit for the hard work - it's a lot harder to find the settings in a SND_fusion file than it is in Mixer_paths. I've tested the first versions and it was a lot of work logging every type of output to make full stereo settings. So, give him some credit mate!

I whole heartly agree with this, as I was a beta tester for the sony stock rom version, and I know how much work he put into it.
A credit is the least the o.p could do. Z removal would be better, as l think its more of a duplicate.

Your mod does not work on Xperia Z Ultra, unfortunately...

how to change the RX3 value to 84?
1.1b version has these settings
S4 Volume Boost ¸¸♬·¯·♩¸¸♪·¯·♫
All sounds boosted by 4, I choose to increase by only 4 as I felt this gave a great boost to the stock level without sound distortion.
from feedback, this is the best/perfect level of sound
the headphone volume is increased slightly more
Easy flash guide:
Drop .zip onto internal or ext storage
and flash with a custom recovery.

Thread closed at OP's request due to microphone failures
I have created this mod (rather an xml edit) by basically looking at information available in the open in other threads . I see that other famous sound mod thread doesn't have the files for download anymore and people are still trying to find links.
All this mod does is enable " High Impedance Mode" all the time . The Volume and sound quality is comparable to other famous mod which i also have used in the past .
Please make a backup of your mixer_paths_tavil.xml file found in system/vendor/etc on Oreo (or) system/etc on Nougat before doing anything.
Please extract/copy the mixer_paths_tavil.xml file to system/vendor/etc on Oreo (or) system/etc on Nougat and restart your phone .
People are free to share and use this mod as they like .
Seems to be working fine on H932. Thanks!
Good that we have another option since the other person removed it for some reason.
