PLEASE READ: I've noticed quite a few ROM devs are using my files without crediting me or linking back to this thread. I don't want people to start asking my permission or anything, feel free to use these files in your own work, but I worked hard trying to get my head round these files; finding out just what everything does and what the volume limits are. If you do use the modified files or modify your own using my guide please at least give me some credit. Thanks.
I've also made an Application that can do this for you. It can be found here.
PART 1
File: 'System/etc/default_gain.conf'
Hey everyone!
For those who remember my old volume hack on the T-Mobile G1, this is essentially the same thing! For some bizarre reason, Samsung decided to map all the maximum volume levels to an easily accessible file (system/etc/default_gain.conf), which is different to 99% of Android phones out there because it's usually built into the kernel or something harder to modify. Cheers Samsung!
THIS MOD WILL MAKE THE PHONE'S SPEAKER AS LOUD AS THE OS ALLOWS. ANY LOUDER AND THE AUDIO BREAKS! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Things this modification can achieve:
Louder Speaker Volume (Ringtones/Messages/Videos/MusicPlayer/etc.)
Louder In-Call Volume (Earpiece and Speakerphone)
Louder Headset Volume (Perhaps - untested)
Louder Bluetooth Volume (Perhaps - untested)
Louder Analogue Dock Volume (Perhaps - untested)
Louder Digital AUX Volume (Perhaps - untested)
Louder FM Radio Volume (Perhaps - untested)

There are a few others in that file too. It's weird that instead of defining the Headset Volume for everything, things like 'incall' and 'FMradio' are all separate.
How To Modify
Any text editor will do but I strongly recommend Notepad++ because it's just awesome!
How To Apply
1) Download attatched file ('default_gain.conf' inside 'VolumeMods.zip')
2) Use a file manager or ADB to push it to "system/etc" (back up existing file first!)
3) From ADB or the Terminal do:
Code:
killall mediaserver
or reboot your phone!
4) Enjoy
PART 2
File: 'System/etc/Volume.db'
This isn't really an audio hack as such, it simply allows you to disable some irritating sounds you cannot normally disable.
What this mod disables:
Camera Shutter Sound 1
Camera Shutter Sound 2
Camera Shutter Sound 3
Boot Sound
Camcorder Sounds
AutoFocus Sound
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All this is so far useful for is to disable the camera sounds without modifying the camera itself.
There are most likely other things this file can do but I've not had chance to play with it properly yet, I'll keep going and update this post if I find anything else.
How To Modify
I strongly recommend using the free "SQL Lite Databse Browser". Any program that can open .db files should work just fine though.
How To Apply
1) Download attatched file ('Volume.db' inside 'VolumeMods.zip')
2) Use a file manager or ADB to push it to "system/etc" (back up existing file first!)
3) From ADB or the Terminal do:
Code:
killall mediaserver
or reboot your phone!
4) Enjoy
All the usual warnings apply: I am NOT responsible if this breaks your phone, speaker or ear-drums and I am not responsible for anything else negative that may occur. If you rooted your phone you should know how to recover from potential soft-bricks, etc. It's your responsibility, not mine.

Insane Volume Boost
As the name suggests, this extra little mod (to the same file) will increase the volume even higher. Seriously high. I wouldn't recommend doing this as it distorts to hell and will most likely damage the speaker in the long run.
For those of you crazy enough to give this a go, here are the instructions:
1) Take the 'default_gain.conf' file (attached to the first post)
2) Search for the following section:
Code:
Modifier "Normal" {
Supported Device {
"Speaker"
}
Enable {...
and then look for
Code:
{ "AIF1 Boost Volume",
Change the value after that to whatever you want. The highest I've dared to go is 55. 55 is PLENTY loud enough, but you can probably go higher.
DISCLAIMER
The volume is getting absolutely ridiculous now. Be seriously careful if you decide to do this because it can go insanely loud and will most probably damage your speaker. You have been warned!!
Enjoy
"THIS MOD WILL MAKE THE PHONE'S SPEAKER AS LOUD AS THE OS ALLOWS. ANY LOUDER AND THE AUDIO BREAKS! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!"
Can you clarify this please. Do you mean that you have cranked the values up as high as sound quality allows??

I've turned it up as loud as the phone will allow. It's currently set to '63' but setting it to '64' breaks the audio so you end up with no sound until you change it back. It doesn't seem to distort that much either; the SGS3's speaker is surprisingly good!
Okay, I'll be the first to try it out...reporting back in a min

Probably just me but I didn't notice any difference except that MAYBE the drop effect during unlock was louder
Actually, I think that the notifications are louder which i like
just tried this and i can confirm its working very well
well done and thanks mate!
yes it works
im on AOKP and there is no default_gain.conf file on system/etc
works like hell

Aokp is no Samsung rom, so it can't be there. But probably the kernel supports the file as cm9 kernel is based on Samsung open source code. However if it is a proprietary module that reads the file that is not in the rom, then there is no way.

You don't have to modify anything, just download the attached zip, move the 'default_gain.conf' file to your phone and use root explorer or something to put it in the 'system/etc' folder. Or you can just "adb push C:/link/to/default_gain.conf' system/etc".
Much quicker and easier than flashing a zip
Nice!
I'm using Omega;s AOKP & it works great. Had to move the 2 files to /system/etc is instructed from the OP.
TYVM!
I nearly went deaf after starting ME, had to lower the volume down. I can tell the big difference with this mod, no more blasting the volume at max to be able to hear anything.
Stock headphones .
4 ok. 5 bit to loud. 6 far to loud.
This mod.
1 ok. 2 loud. 3 to loud. 4 no way.
Problem is constant background hiss .
Think I will lower the numbers s bit in the file and see the result.

ok im having calibration issues when holding my phone in landscape mode. ive dug around and found the calibration file for the accelerometer and other sensors. it will let me change it but it wont let me save it. also if you view it in root explorer text editor it wont show. but if you view it in es file, root browser, or root explorer text viewer it shows as -2 0 0 0. and coincidentally its off by about 2 degrees. the file path is sys>devices>virtual>sensors>accelerometer_sensor>calibration. it just wont allow me to save the file. any ideas?
also it wont even let me copy the file to neither internal or external sd car. i have root. all explorers have super user access.
From what I am told by a rom Dev it can't be changed. Every phone has the same thing. He said depending on what ur doing the app seems to be what needs calibration to the phone. When he tested sensor with dial code it all showed perfect even tho that file says that. Do a sensor test and watch it is accurate. What ever app you are using in landscape mode is the issue reach out to Dev of app for the fix

BAD ASS NOTE 4
Hey Guys,
I am pulling my hair out. The one and only reason I sought out a 4.4.4 version of the Turbo was so I could obtain root and then edit Mixer_Paths.xml to increase the headphone volume. I have tried everything and when I reboot, the xml file reverts to the way it was before. I have followed every guide I could find for the Droid Turbo, the Nexus 6 and pretty much any other Android phone and it seems to be so straight forward! Open Mixer_Paths.xml from system/etc, then in text editor change the values I needed to, then save and reboot. I have done this 20+ times and upon reboot, the changes are not saved. While I know this isn't specifically an audio issue, I feel that this is a common method while rooted. Can anyone chime in as to what I am doing wrong? I've tried root browser, root explorer, ES file manager, Turbo Text editor and a few others. All produce the same results. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Write protection of the system files is enabled, so any changes that you make to them while the phone is running will not stick. You need to make any changes to the image that you want to make before you flash it to your phone.

Thank you so much! I guess the Droid Turbo is slightly different in its root method than other phones and I now understand what "write protected" means! Really appreciate the help.
Now, let's see if I can comprehend the tutorial.
Edit: I think, sadly, that modifying the system image is beyond me. Bummer, I feel like I went through the hassle to root my Droid Turbo and it was really for nothing. Literally the only thing I want to do is change two lines in the mixer_paths.xml file, but I don't want to risk bricking my phone with a system image that I screw up somehow.
Anyone want to help me make a system image in return for a small donation?

That's an awfully kind offer. Well, in system\etc there is a file called mixer_paths.xml and near the top is "RX1 Digital Volume" and "RX2 Digital Volume" - both of which I am trying to change the value from "84" to "94" to increase the headphone volume. That's it, really!
I used the pre-rooted image found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/dro...droid-turbo-xt1254-5-1-rooted-images-t3152563
Rooted 5.1 system image (v2)
That would be so awesome if you could change those values. No rush, it is greatly appreciated!

Hi Sir, any chance you could still make that image for me? I sort of decided against CF's because I don't want to wipe data and reinstall everything. If we just changed the mixer values, I could probably flash and not have to wipe the data right?

I know he says that you have to wipe data, but you really don't. But if you would prefer a less messed-with image, I can do that for you. I'll probably get to it sometime tomorrow. Do you also want the Pon-3 audio mod in this image? It's basically v4a, but it actually works with lollipop.
EDIT: Here you go. This contains only root and the mixer paths modification that you wanted. If you decide you want Pon-3, let me know. It's easy to add. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz1f5-grRw5BUkcwbzVVZGtuTFk/view?usp=sharing
I decided to flash the CF image and it worked fine without a data wipe, thankfully.
Honestly, I think I'd prefer a stock image with just the volume mods. Nothing against CF's work and I certainly understand why so many like it, but Pon-3 does absolutely nothing for me since I use Tidal for streaming and I do not believe any of the effects work on streaming services (they might on Google Play Music which I don't use). Does V4A not work with Lollipop? I'm not sure if Pon-3 is worth having on there or not. Maybe I'm using it incorrectly, but I could not get it to alter the sound at all while streaming Tidal and that's my only media source at this point. Any thoughts?
Thanks again!

If you would like a stock image with only the volume mods, see my previous post on this thread. V4A does not work properly on lollipop. Pon-3 is V4A (the exact same code, except fixed for lollipop) + a few more audio optimizations. It works identically, and even has the same control panel menu as V4A. Some apps aren't compatible with it, and some apps (like Poweramp, which is what I generally use for music) will work if you mess with the settings of that specific app.
This is a tiny mod to get some better volume from Moto G3. I used the mixer_paths.xml from the .44 2gb build for xt1540, but the file should be universal for g3, maybe even g2 and g...I haven't tested it on anything but my own g3, so I can't say.
Use at your own risk!
Drop the file in /etc, rename to mixer_paths.xml, and change permissions to rw-r--r--
To revert, use the mixer_paths-84.xml file provided, rename to mixer_paths.xml and set permissions rw-r--r--
You must reboot for changes to apply. This is a TOTAL volume mod!! it will boost every volume on the device.
Default value is 84, I set it at 90. I like my music extremely loud, and this was slightly lower than I would choose, so it should be good for most people. If anyone wants more or less, I can take requests.

[b]**Update Changelog:[/b]

- fixed oversight for in-call volume.
- changed file names to be easier to differentiate.
- mixer_paths-84.xml is the stock 100% untouched backup now.
- same exact file, new name. no need to redownload.
- added volume 92.
*WARNING!! For the new vol-92 option, speaker volume WILL be distorted turned all the way up. I got lazy and didn't want to play trial and error to find the one that controls speaker. I will fix this in the next update, coming as soon as I have time. For now, please just turn it down a click or two if you use this one.
mixer_paths-84-90.xml (in- call volume 84 & all others 90.)
Clipping like hell.
No issues, working great but sometimes on full volume, the lower back gets warmed up around the speaker.

Works like a charm here (stock 5.1.1). I was really anoyed by the weak maximum volume, much better now Thanks again.
On my XT1541 all notification, ringtone, calls, etc, goes off, no sounds, worst, after backup the file it's the same no results.

What rom are you using?
Also, if you restored the original file and have the same results you obviously did something wrong....that or it wasn't working beforehand either, because to restore the original file is to return it to its state prior to modifying it...as in getting rid of my modification entirely. Trust me, my file doesn't affect your device once it's gone...that is completely impossible in every way, shape and form.
Did you remember to change the permissions?? That would definitely explain having absolutely no sound at all.
Also, your sku means absolutely nothing since we all share this identical file within our firmware. There is not a single moto g3 variant which comes stock with a different mixer_paths.xml
Hello again, after a few days of testing the maximum volume is still a bit weak in my opinion (especially for classical music ), is there any way to increase it even more? Thank you again for your work :good:

Hmm... Wonder if I could write a OpenRecovery script that would allow you to pick one of these mods, flash it (and backup current settings), and set permissions...
Then, if someone was completely stock but with an unlocked bootloader (like me) you could boot twrp, flash the mod, and still be completely stock and not rooted, thus able to receive an OTA safely too.
Hmm...
Or I could be lazy and finally just root... Tired of those iBrats at work blowing away the volume of my MotoG3 on the speakers in the back of the house, on max with speakers on max it's sad compared to iPhone.

Hello guys. I had posted some months ago my question but all I was suggested was installing mods that I already had tried.
So, my 'problem' is that I find Stock Marshmallow's output(volume and bass) on headphones (3.5 jack) pretty low compared to Stock Kitkat. Especially the bass, it is really, really louder/heavier on Kitkat.
Is there any way to get/move Kitkat's sound enhancements right into Marshmallow?
Thanks in advance, have a happy new year!
The only way to try this would be decrypting the original KitKat files and recode them into MM, though you need some knowledge about how it works for it. As for now, I do not know any way to get back that feature from KK.
Mods are really great in this sort of situation, I myself use the A.R.I.S.E. mod and configured it for my in-ears.

Unfortunately, I have no knowledge of coding etc.. I had tried arise sound mod but the sound was completely distorted(maybe I had installed something wrong,but all I did was install a .zip file and nothing more.)
Edit: could you message me and redirect me to the things you did and worked for you? I think I'll give a try tonight or tomorrow night! Thanks!

Well, installing the .zip is fine, but you ... gotta turn it on, too. When you flashed the zip, a new tool called Viper4Arise pops up in your app list. Open that and configure how you like to. In the app, you can change everything you like (and there's tons of stuff, trust me) but keep in mind to check if the module is active ( [≡] > Driver Status).
As of the settings I've done, I made the for my personal in-earphones (SoundMagic E10). There are things like ViPER-DDC which makes the sound of your head/earphones pretty nice if they're supported, if not, well then you gotta tune it yourself. Might plan to listen to a lot of different music and testing all the settings for your own preferences

Well, installing the .zip is fine, but you ... gotta turn it on, too. When you flashed the zip, a new tool called Viper4Arise pops up in your app list. Open that and configure how you like to.

Well, I'll maybe give a try and write you back... I didn't really understand whay you said there ' check if the module is active ( [≡] > Driver Status). '
Also, which one of these folders should I open and then,which version(file name) should I download?
I'm on Stock 6.0.1 with any other mod installed.
(yes,i'll make a nandroid backup before installing it)
Thanks in advance
Edit: I installed ViPER4Arise+2.5.0.5 and it worked fine,but still,the sound is quite,compared to Stock KitKat... Even after raising Master Gate (Limiter) to the max (6dB)... I don't know what to do

Then it is probably limited by the ROM itself.. Well you can look up how to create your own custom rom with higher output at the audio jack, but aside from that, I don't have any other ideas how to raise it other than going back to kitkat.
Well the volume is loud enough for me, so sadly I can't help you with this

Exactly, KitKat allowed more output volume than Marshmallow does, I guess....I wish I knew how to increase the output levels and set them just as high as the Stock Kikat are.

I might just randomly found a way to set the volume gain, but you need a unlocked bootloader + elitekernel (or any other) for that.
