I know that this subject has being covered before in many z2 z3 phones /thread.
But still i have probably not read any fix or possibly missed it.
Would like to know how to increase the volume for notification like whatsapp etc.
It seem to me that other than playing movie (which can be really loud ) or using movie to play the sound (which is also really loud)
when it boils down to sns application like whatsapp/fb ... the notification that came in playing the sound is really low.
Why isnt sony doing anything to fix this issue?
I saw it before in z2 which still doesnt have the xloud back then until i sold it .
Is there a alternative fix?
Why cant they just specify volumes adjustment tweaker for each category like Lg or samsung..
i really hope there a way to fix this or pray they fix it when lollipop comes out in 2015 ~
Please post questions in the Q&A section

I'm pretty sure I've looked and searched all of the Xperia threads for a solution to this issue I'm having with my X1i.
Here's my problem: If I'm playing music (using WMP or the Media Panel) with the headset plugged in and a new SMS, MMS, e-Mail, Reminder, or ANY type of WM notification pops up, the track is halted/stoped/paused/or interrupted for a brief second to prioritize and play the notification sound and then resumes the audio playback. I've looked at all the sound settings to see if there was a new option (headset options) to prevent this from happening but have had no luck...
My only guess is that it has to do with the headset drivers or the notify settings in the registry.
The only solution I've had to work with so far is to un-check the Play Sound box for all the notification options available in Sounds & Notifications and check the Display message, Flash light, and Vibrate options to let me know when I get a new message.
I want to be able to have my notifications "Play Sound" when I get a a new notice OVER any playing audio (overlapping) through the headphones. When the headphones aren't plugged in (and the audio is playing from the speaker) notification sounds overlap (without stopping/halting the audio).
If anything, I'd prefer to have the notify sound play out only from the speaker and not through the headphones, as long as it doesn't interrupt the Mp3 playback.

I think this is fault of WinMo....
i don't doubt that it may be a WinMo issue, but the beauty of WinMo is the ability to edit and correct those little things...I'm hoping maybe one of the developers and ROM creating geniuses can help with either instructions of where to go in the registry to fix this or maybe even create little cab file that'll do the trick
I've tried 2 different ROMS in hopes of having that issue resolved....

I think it's an issue that winmo can't handle two seperate audio streams at once, so it stops one to start the other, but I may be wrong..

I don't think so since multiple apps will sound together (e.g. S2P & Core player). Make a backup and play around w/ the following:
HKCU/ControlPanel/Notification/AlertInterrupt (try 0 and 255)
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\Priority256 w/ lower value
Hi there,
have somebody tried the DSP SoundManager? I extracted this one from the CyanogenMod ROM and get a little bit better sound...
May you want to try it! Maybe there is a forward developed version of this, so please post it!
Regards, Andi
I can't notice any difference. I had the speaker on hi then installed it pumped up the settings and it made no difference.

Same here ..
I'm new here and with no experience, but maybe we need rooted device to work?! It would be nice to hear navigation while driving..
I have a rooted device. But I don't hear any difference.
Moved to Themes and Apps
Cheers,

no way
Downloaded and installed no difference at all.
What I have to understand is why POWERAMP with its settings (equalizer set to loud speaker value) has a far better volume than the stock music player.
If we can get its way to do that an app like the one in this thread may work.
May be poweramp just modifies in realtime the mp3 values I don't know really we need to investigate.
Youtube for example has a very poor volume altough the copilot using SVOX TTS voices (with SVOX volume at 200) is good enough.
I think is just the kernel I don't understand why the quality is so bad with some features and so good with others....
hmm i just watched a video from htc. and the introduce a feature that the device recognize where it is, for example in your pocket or backpack and if you get a call it will raise the speaker volume...
but i dont know if its just to the maximum which probalby everybody has set or if you can go over this limit...
Here is working version of DSP manager.
its a start, but i think this workaround creates some other problems... for my self, i just increased the volume of my ringtone and it worked as well.
hopefully this dspmanager workaround gets updatet or even htc will take care of it...
Hello.
After rooting my LG Thrill, and freezing/deleting some default applications (such as default music player), these buttons appeared in my notification bar. They look cool, but this is the only thing they do. No reaction on simple touch or long press.
I would really like to remove them or make them work. Any help is welcome.
Thank You, and sorry for my bad english

Its a result of you freezing your music app... it wont go away till you restore it. Or if you want to try your hand at changing the code to remove it from the notification area
Sent from my LG Thrill 4G...
I'm afraid i lack some knowledge to change code. This is my first smartphon and i got it like 2 weeks ago. Thank you though.Will try to restore default music player.
And i would be really thankful if You could get me some tips on how to change that code.
Man... I think the stock music player is just fine and happen to enjoy the controls in the notification area.... why err'body hatin' all the time dizzang.
I'm not hating it, it's just, there are players that can give you more control over your music, with more settings and better sound quality

I'm in the same boat! I just like power amp more. I don't want that installed if I'm never going to use it.. But I don't want the non functional controls taking up screen space either. I was surprised to disable it, remove the app - then see it return.
I've seen some people remove it on lg p990's I think, we could probably do something similar - but it looked complex. If it was as simple as changing a text file...
If u just want to remove it from the notification bar open the music app hit the menu button then click settings and unclick the music player in notification. Hope this helps
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App
if u can fix it good for u or reinstall the room
but for best player is PowerAMP
so cool app that u will hear the music like never befor
Hi, some couple of days, i update my razr i to kitkat, rooted with recovery...very fast and smooth, no problem at all...but when i listen music in the app Google Music ( with earphones) its sound pretty LOW...someone know how i can boost the volume music???
i searched a mod of sony walkman of xperia z2 for all android: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730431
to increase the sound of music, but i cannot made it work...i have the xperia z2 launcher..
anyone want to try it? or knows a mod/app that it can boost the sound of music???
Same problem here, I have no idea how to fix it...
Yep, unfortunately....
I've reported that before, the KK audio sucks guys
I think might be a kernel issue... BTW there's no "final" version yet.

ups :C., sorry bro...recently i found a mod that boost the volume of music...only u have need to be root
install the apk, grant permission of root, reboot and change the music effects (configuration-sound-music effects) and choose the apk installed

Yeah thanks
But, actually the real trouble for me are the "hissing noises", like i said before.
Some build.prop edits are helping a little, i'll try the ViPER4Android but i'm not sure if he will work.

Hello ! As you all know Sound quality has been terrible on our Z1 since Lollipop came out and Sony has done nothing to fix it so now i have gotten enough and i wanna do something about it myself. I have been reading lots about sound mods and have been comparing them with others but i cant seem to find good one to fit my purposes so i decided to ask here. Im not looking for stereo mod or anything speaker related or like that, i just wanna get the true power what it is capable to produce to my headset like on KK and to be able to adjust the equalization and bass etc like we used to before Walkm... i mean Music app sound enchantments stopped working.. i have XPhonePlus Module from XPosed to enable old audio modes but its currently broken or something since doesnt work...
So basicly im looking for audio mod that:
- Brings back the volume that we had in KK. (In LP its much lower volume.)
- Makes equalization working again. (After LP, had never worked, not in Music beta or the not beta one)
- Makes surround work again (--||--)
- As good bass without losing quality as possible
- Being able to keep the sound enchantments in other apps too not just music app
- Works on stock rom
- As stable as possible, im not really good updater.
- Needs to be able to change settings on the fly. (on LP sometimes equalizer settings take effect on reboot)
I know all my requirements arent necessary possible but just something that way !
I have Bluetooth headset and wired one and i use both so it needs to work on both. i listen mostly electronic so extra bass related mod is never a minus. Im not looking to change music app since i like it so that is not an option.
Im taking suggestions and im gonna pick the best one based on popularity and comments so please share your favourite mod here an i will check it out !
Also im a noobie so i might need instructions i have root ofc and nuts recovery and xposed. im on .270 5.0.2 LP
@migidid
I'm gonna try to answer :3
1. Edit your mixer_paths.xml, need root, there is also many guide in XDA
2. Equalizer works correctly, I don't know why you have such problem xD
3. Surround works too, but only when using headset/headphone.
4. This need headset/headphone with nice sound range too, you can +bass from stock Equalizer, I'm used Poweramp and Poweramp equalizer + Sony equalizer
5. Sony Sound Effect have a global effect for your speaker and also from another sound media too, but I don't know about surround effects (didn't try this so much) xD
EDIT: It's works on Poweramp, just tested it :3
EDIT2: It's not working on Poweramp, it's "blank" sound, sorry xD
EDIT3: Got a fix, must disable Direct Volume Control and enable MusicFX and you will get Surround Sound effect xD
6. I'm on Sony stock L ROM build .270, rooted
7. Nothing bads, if you know what are you doing xD
8. Sony Equalizer no need reboot to take effect, it's immediate :3
I don't like use Viper or another Sound Mod like that, it's useless (for me), since Sony already have in build Sound Effect. I'm only used nice headphone (not high res), modified mixer_paths.xml and Poweramp. :3
