Hi!
I love my Diamond, but it has one big problem - I wasn't able to hear it in noisy environments. I realized, that poor sound is somehow related with AudioPara3.csv file in Windows directory. I made some tests with this file and whoaaa... my phone is quite louder now. Now I wish to share it with you. Unzip the file, overwrite the old file with the new one in the Windows folder (make backup before) and soft reset the device. You must hear the difference..
I didn't test your file yet, I m sure it maye help, but I made some tests with CorePlayer by change the equalizer parameters and got little bit more volume but with distortion ,seems like the main problem is the speaker itself....
didn't hear any difference

AudioPara3.csv file contains volume and gain values for speaker and microphone. I've tested it, and by raising volume values to the maximum - nothing happened, by raising gain values to the maximum- volume is louder. IMO this is maximum, that Diamond's poor speaker can produce. I am satisfied with it, maybe someone can do more tests and get better result.
Btw, all sounds are louder now: ringtone, speakerphone, system volume, music playback, etc.

Same here. Any help please
Replace with Total Commander; Windows Explorer isnt working...
I tried this and it really sounds like massive quality loss. This has to be tweaked much more.
Thanks, will give it a try, as I just need little more volume from speakers.
Thanks! Will try this out. If it works out well I would love to see this tweak/fix implemented in some cooked ROM's ^^
EDIT: This works out great! A bit load sometimes, and I can't lower the volume, but atleast I hear the phone ringing now
Well i tested it , and it works .
Really loud ! , i had to lower the volume again ..
Nice work !.
Thanks tripp! It really works! I use it with SRS WOW in which gives my Diamond the loudest sound it ever had
This is awesome thanks a million.
It is reallyyyyy loud now.
Do these settings apply to ringer?
Thanks again very cool of you
help
can u help me add audio para 3 files into my windows....i mean can u tell me all the step how to do to get audio para 3 files......thank you
Thanks. Worked perfect. It is a lot louder now. But needs a little tweaking because of distortion.
folks
i tried the total commander...
I was able to mke a backup of the existing file
but not able to copy the new file attached...
any detailed steps s very much appreciated..
VK
Thank you!
It works for me!
I don't have distortion problem. It is quite suitable for me.
mine is actually too loud, even on the lowest setting people around me can hear my conversation. can I use the same procedure to accomplish the opposite?
Excellent....
Definately looks like an enhancement worth carrying to the ACT and Diamond Tweaks...well done!

Suggest the author adds his advice to these threads....
Hello everyone. I was hoping to disable the noise the phone makes when docking. Its louder than I'd like it to be, and I'd rather it be silent altogether. Same thing for removing it from the dock.
I am rooted for what it's worth, could I hunt down the audio file and rename it? is a better solution possible?
Thanks
Update:
Just tried renaming the files... it picked another sound, that was even louder!
I generally don't have an issue with the volume levels on my turbo.. but there is one area where I find it lacking.. with headphones in, some of my music just doesn't go loud enough in certain situations. I have tried a few nice pairs of earbuds and most of them I have this problem. I've also occasionally run into this problem with an output to speakers. I wouldn't have to raise it much, which is good because I would prefer not to deteriorate sound quality.. but a slight increase would be perfect.
I saw a couple other threads with similar questions but didn't really see a good solution.. now that we have root, has any utilized any system tweaks to accomplish this successfully?

1. Use a root browser to open /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml
2. Figure out which values correspond to the headphones volume.
3. Increase those values and save the file.
Also, I've found that CM-based roms are much louder than stock-based roms, so you could just flash one of those.

Thanks for the advice.. I don't think I'll be flashing any roms of my own for my turbo anytime soon.. I like the stock feel and am happy performing my own system tweaks. Since I haven't unlocked yet stupid kingroot will "root" but won't let me mod the /system partition, so i'll have to get that out of the way first.
Have you performed that mod on the turbo or you just know the process?

I did it back when my Turbo was running the stock rom in order to increase the in-call volume. It worked perfectly.
how would you figure out which goes with headphones?

Google or trial and error. It's a pretty well-known and ubiquitous build.prop mod, so you'll probably be able to find it with some digging.
If youre like me and you like listening to your music with good headphones and want to feel that bass rumble in your head, you might have noticed that with the update to 6.0 (In my case to B565) the output volume might have gone down considerably and that now the max volume isnt just enough to make you eargasm. So i researched a lot and found out that the max volume settings are set in some .xml files located in /etc and /system/etc but the thing is that with huawei phones we dont just have to edit a single .xml file to raise our max volume, we have to edit a whole crap ton of them depending on our region, vendor, model etc.... So instead of having to open all those files and edit just the correct string, i found out that AlsaMixer (Available on google play) works just fine with out devices!! I also found out that the max output on 6.0 is stuck at 80% dont know why.
So, to get your 20% of max volume up, all you have to do is open AlsaMixer (or all those other .xml files if you like doing things the hard way ) and edit the lines:
-HISSC_SMT_HSL_GAIN (this is left headphone gain)
-HISSC_SMT_HSR_GAIN (this is right headphone gain)
Their default value will be 12, just go ahead and set that value to 15 which is the max value and enjoy your new volume
NOTE: There are tons of other strings you can edit to increase output of speaker, earpiece, etc...etc... but since I didnt need to increase these I didnt take the time to find out their variables, but if youre interested on increasing the speaker volume just open the .xml files and go to speaker and find the gain variable and change it with Alsa.
Hope I made your day
Do you know how can i set plug in/out -> music player on/off or music play/pause??

You might be able to do that with Tasker or a similar app. ALSA is only in charge of the sound.
tested and working good. only thing i noticed is that after i modify the value it wont save for the next time i use the player so i have to edit and apply again.
really thanks for sharing

So looking into AlsaMixer, this is an app for a rooted device. Is there any alternative methods? I just got my phone finally back up and going again after an IMEI loss and am a little scared to do anything further in the system like that.
Also the fact that the description on AlsaMixer doesn't say anything about supporting MM... Has the had any issues for you?

I dont think there are any other *effective* methods out there that dont imply rooting your device or something of that behaviour sorry. And yes it does support it, at least for me even though it says nothing.
Not a worry... I'll just have to build the courage up to rootmy device :/ ah well. Thanks for responding so soon

I think you can, but have to find the proper string for speaker

Exactly, you have to find the string for the speaker. (Be careful though because you could cause damage to the speaker)
which is the line for speaker gain?

You solved what? We already know about dolby atmos, but this is different.
Yes Dolby Atmos gets a little better sound quality than stock. But it doesnt boost output volume in any way or form. For that the only thing that works is editing the ALSA setting but for the speaker I dont know which string you have to edit because as i said im not interested in listening music through my phone speaker, i was just interested in boosting the volume from the headphones which I thought were too low. Anyhow I discourage everyone who wants to boost their speaker higher than stock, as this phones speaker sounds pretty high, even too high sometimes and you could risk damaging the speaker or braking it.

is it even possible to boost without root? i guess not. but app can probably deliver higher sound.
for root users theres usually a xml file in system/etc i can't tell which one it is since i'm first time huawei user but if u got root why not use viper4android it boosts the volume like
I would like to boost the volume only for my headphones. Which xml files should I edit? I am thinking of using a file explorer to edit the values on OP for this.
Thanks in advance.
Use the playback music controls xposed module.Its awesome and you can also change tracks using volume buttons if you like. The autoplay option is in the settings.
I've found out how to boosz permanently, I guess... System/etc/audio/hissc/mixer_paths_ALICE.xml
Open it with a text editor, and change HISSC_SMT_HSL_GAIN + HISSC_SMT_HSR_GAIN from 12 to 15.

Hello, it's not so safely but it's working but you need to edit the sames files but the one with R too, few lines after (left/right).

Hello,
I've tried my best to make my title understable, but not sure if I succeeded
Basically what I want to do is to change the bluetooth volume control to have more volume levels. Now if I am listening to bt speaker it is either too loud or too quiet and nothing between.
My theory is that it should be possible to adjust the values of sound control in some file in rom.
I am not a programmer, but I remember I have done something similar on my Moto G, I've changed some values in a rom file and then flashed it.
I really don't remember how I have done it, but if there is someone who can tell how it can be done step by step, I would really appreciate it.
PS: I would like to change also volume for loud speaker, if possible to make it louder during calls, because I know it can play music louder
Thank you
