I did this on my N5 and I recall it being mixer_paths.xml and then you find something along the lines of path name=handset or incall etc. followed by a line RX(X) Digital Volume value= (something along the lines of 80). I did a search and that was about it so I went into this expecting to find something much the same.
I can find reference to RX digital volumes in the listing of initial values at the start of the file and these have an expected value of 84 but I cant find a path name= with a likely suspect like handset, incall, voice, etx. followed by this line where I would make the actual change.
Anyone else dug into this yet? I'm wondering if I can simply make the changes in the initial values? I cant remember if the N5 had those lines but I'm guessing it must have. There are seven of them as you would expect with the stock call volume stepping. I've been contemplating giving them a small nudge to 86 and see what happens, good idea or not?
As an aside I found a line for in call recording mode which is currently set to 0...

take a look here
if u need somethig tell me,but without root we can t do more
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwTULBGmnkwqWjJKWlRZUFJ0bm8/view?usp=sharing
I have root (maxx) and I've been going through the build.prop and some other files including the mixer_paths.xml and mixer_path_i2s.xml and I cannot find the digital volume= X in any likely looking path=. I think it has to be there and I'm just missing it or else it may be we would adjust the initial volume? In i2s.xml the digital volume shown only has 4 steps and still doesn't come after any path that looks likely. It would seem to me that rx1 through 7 are certainly a smoking gun. DEC should be speaker, ADC mic, and HPHL/R would be headphone correct?
Since no one jumped in with a warning I went ahead and backed up mixer_path.xml and then edited the values mentioned changing the stock initial value of 84 to a value of 86 on RX1 through RX7 and it appears to have worked over a couple calls I made although it may be I got lucky with a couple of unusually good connections. If someone wants to give it a go and verify the results we may have a working method of increasing the in call volume. Anyone testing that hasn't done this before should be aware that small changes in the values have a large effect so its best to take baby steps, keep in mind the stock speaker may not have much headroom so play it safe unless you're feeling brave. Be sure to backup the file before editing.

tell me what to do
Edited both files and raised volumes to 95 for RX values and to 90 the Dec values that were arrounf 70 and 80 something. Clearly a noticeable improovement. Even call volume is raised and sounds excellent.

The DEC should be speaker, headphones can also be adjusted in the same way which should be HPHL and HPHR. I thought we had a runner but I wasn't positive because call quality is so hit and miss around here. I'd be wary of making that large an adjustment but I may be overly paranoid about it because I blew the speaker on my sgs3 this way. The thing there being I only made a modest change much like I did here but in hindsight it would later become apparent by the number of blow speakers people had that they had limited the volume on those release handsets to where they did because that was as much as the speaker could take.
You need root danger, I think you are on the Turbo aren't you? Maybe I'm mistaken, at any rate all you have to do is make a backup, mount the file, edit the initial values, save it and reboot.

Hi I was wondering if anyone new how to increase the ring volume on the Tilt. I did a couple of extensive searches and all of them came up for either older phones or different phone models. Also, I read somewhere that each HTC registry differs in some manner.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction to this fix.
I would also be interested in louder speaker phone volume too.
Thank you in advance.
get into your registry...HKEY_CURRENT_USER/control panel/sound catagories/ring. Here you will find2 setting at the bottom..."InitVol" ans "Speaker". Open these both, and change the "value" number higher than what you show. I have both set to 15...initvol was at 5, speaker was at 8 when I first got it. I also opened up the "alarm" file at the top of the tree and made sure that speaker value was set to 15 as well.
Now...I can hear it fine, but the dif. is pretty small. I read about this edit, but never heard back from the guy that posted it. I can't say for sure this is any kind of pro-approved method, as I am quite new to this phone/system myself. I had been hacking Motorolas till I got this a few weeks ago. I have no idea how high that value can be safely pushed, and by the looks of the device..the speaker is pretty small and weak anyway. Hope this helps..be careful..lol. Blow that lil speaker and you won't be hearing a thang!

Do a search for TCPMP. It is a media player. On the options>settings>select page> equalizer tab. check the "enabled" box and then "slowly" slide the "Pre-amp" slider to the right... trust me it will play louder!!!
So that volume tweak above is for ringer volume, what about external speaker volume (e.g. play music or hands free)?
What about the internal speaker volume for hearing the person on the other end of the phone?
I'm another newbie who'd like to know how to get to the registry...HKEY_CURRENT_USER/control panel/sound catagories/ring. after I already installed PHM RegEdit.
Thank you.

Thanks works like a charm i have a tilt with 6.1
I have known about these reg hacks for quite some time but they never work for me
i checked my dec values with this new ROM and my intvol was set at 0 and my speaker was at 1. i put them both to 5, the sound actually got lower but then higher, and lower then higher. weird
set both to 15..don't really notice a difference..
It's not that bad in Kaiser though. I used to have Eten M600 which was worse in many aspects of sounds volume, esp. loudspeaker. What we did was to replace the ril_gsm.dll with a patched one plus some reg hacks.
So maybe in this case if the reg hacks simply don't work or keep reverting back to its original value, then there's more to do than just registry. Just my 2.01 cents.
does anyone know how to increase the sound for incoming message?
please advise and thanks for the share
i would like to know how to increase the overall volume of my 8925. the ringtone, speakerfone, and in call volume. does anyonee know what registry edits i can make to boost the volume?
dv8r942 said:
I put this up a couple times..this is what I read, as the speaker was the first complaint I had (not that I had many). Reg Edit/H_KEY_CURRENT_USER/CONTROL PANEL/SOUNDCATAGORIES/RING.....
Now there are 2 settings to be changed, according to the post I read, the author of which has not replied back to any of my inquiries..."Initvol" and "speaker". Hold each until you have the menu option to edit (or dub-clik and open them) you will see the numeric value, which can be easily changed. When I got my unit, Init was at 5, speaker was at 8. I jacked them both to 15. There is an increase, and poking around, I found that you can do the same for the "speaker" value in different areas (alarm, music..)
The dif is pretty slight, AND I also took all my tones and hiked the volume up to near-distortion levels...which also helped. You aint going to get "quality" tunage from this thing, I just need to hear it...lol. Now..what I do NOT know is just how high that setting can be jacked before it does damage. Nor have i been advised that there is some other, more appropriate way to pump it up. The speaker is small, weak, and on the back, so only so much can be done. What I DO know is this method has not caused any damage..and I am hearing it just fine now. Hope this helps.

Thank him!
i tried this but its still about only 70% as loud as my 8525
bump to the top
So E..how high did you go? I noticed you compared it to another phone, one I am not familiar with, and what I can add for ya is that the volume issue on THIS unit is the same for the other 2 phones I just purchased...those being a Blackjack 2 (only cuz ATT bought out my old provider and it was cheep...lol) AND...dun-dun-dun.....the nokia E90 (which, unfortunately WASN'T cheep).
I rigged up an old motorola V710 (remember THOSE days??!!) with a bunch of games and songs for my 7yr old daughter...and MAN...that little dinosaur was hurting my ears, WITHOUT any mods!! Point is...these fancy-schmancy units obviously need to sacrifice something to cram so much functionality into such a small package (guys, feel free to use this line on your significant other...if applicable). I don't use headphones, and I don't need these things as "music players", so I dont really mind too much...but we DO need to hear the damn things...lol.
How high did you set it?
Oh..and Unk, allow me to thank you for thanking me
well DV8
i set everything to 15 but the init volume keeps on resetting to 5 i dont know why. and also does the attenuation have anything to do with the volume?
People always complaining me about my low voice when i talk them. I tested it, the mic volume is really low. I found some article about increasing mic volume level but it is for galaxy S2 and it is not work on galaxy note. If you know how to increase please help me get rid of this boring problem. Thanks
any help?
omg nobody knows?
Which rom you are on?
its supposed to be working if you are on stock firmware or any custom rom based on stock
A) Enter service mode by typing below code on your dialer :
*#*#197328640#*#*
click the following:
[5] AUDIO
[1] NB (VOICE CALL)
Choose Handset, headset, Speaker (which ever you want higher volume)
[1] VOLUME
[1] SRC Speech RX Volume
Change default values and higher the values any number of your choosing, here is an example:
[0]0_lvl : 68
[1]1_lvl : 72
[2]2_lvl : 76
[3]3_lvl : 80
[4]4_lvl : 84
[5]5_lvl : 88 Higher these values to until hear volume improvement.

I really need help please tell me something
you could try shouting lol
Probably above needs some more testing.
If you have the issue with all people then warrantee maybe? It might be just one. Maybe they aren't holding phone right. Speaker wrong end or not in ear lol.
You can try setting option noice cancellation in dialer off. It might help.

Anyway noise reduction already off. The menu which is mentioned as a setting to set the mic volume, is not shown on my rom. If there is another way to increase the mic volume (from CWM by installing a zip file etc.) i want to know. Just it.
How can i increase the Mic volume? Is there any mod? do not tell me the "*#*#197328640#*#*" thing... It doesnt work for me. Yes the Menu is opening but i cant enter the [5]AUDIO section... Is there any other mods? for ex. Flashing through CWM etc?

I type in this code on Note N7100 and hit the call button, tell's me invalid code? any ideas?
Amazing...
Just thought I'd check in tonite and see what's going on with my favorite problem... namely, crappy audio and Mic-gain on the Note2... the "flagship" (At least at one fleeting moment) of the Samsung Fleet. LOL.
Reading the bogus information about kernels (which are only for the "Oh, Wow" and "Far Out" crowd with underclocking and overclocking and a combo of undervolting and overvolting and all combinations in between, nobody had an answer. Hah!
Well... believe it or not, I still have my N7100, and rooted on stock 4.4.2 (the late and great last rom from Sham-sung) and I fixed my audio problem a long time ago... after buying all of the "Pro" apps that were supposed to "cure" the audio problems.
Not ONE of them actually cured anything, but actually created a ton of other problems like caller's voices echoing back at them while talking to me.
I guess that's "technology" for 'ya... give it enough time, and all things are swept under the rug... with the new phones having all the same problems and still no answers or cures for the problem at hand.
As an aside... does anybody here remember the film, Mommy Dearest?
Remember that scene where Joan Crawford freaks out over wire coat hangers and beats the crap outta her daughter for having them in her closet?
That's the way I am now with rear-facing speakers.
No more low-volume crap with rear-facing speakers and multiple microphones for regular calls or speaker phone.
Nope, no way.
Anyway, long story short... there's another thread about Mic-Gain on this site that actually made it so that if I use Speakerphone, the other person can actually hear me.
Unfortunately, everybody in Wal-Mart can hear my convo over the rear facing speaker.
Register 21 is now open.

The Solution
Hello i have THE solution!!!! I'm sorry my rusty english but this is it.
You must to download (es file manager) your device must be rooted go to device - system - etc and open default_gain.conf must to change value of (IN1L Volume) in there has a value in number maybe 20 or less my 1st falue change is 40 but is verry loud i recomend a value 35 but is up to you and your device my device is Galaxy note 2 n7100 and i lost 2 days breaking my head and google it but i found the solucion i hope is good for all of you

I figured I'd start this thread for everyone to discuss problems relating to call audio.
Today I tried from a fresh CM10 copying all the audio cfg files from Holics 1.3 (fixing files names to match CM10 where required), reboot, make calls.
I am certain that I got the back speaker louder for notifications music (to the point now where it distorts), however speaker phone and headset vol are still about the same.
The volume up/down has no effect on the volume. I can see in the live log that when I press the vol rocker, the phone is "setting" the volume step, but it has no audible effect.
I also tried copying the AIC and TPA and Adie cfg files from an HTC One V (which I'm guessing uses the same audio chips since the cfg files are named the same). No change detected.
While testing calls with a friend, he noticed that when he spoke in a low voice, or made non-word noises (banging, clapping, etc) he did not hear that echo. Whispering didn't echo. Just "regular" volume speech.
I'm starting to wonder if the changes made to the A1026 to enable in-call for AT&T phones have caused the echo issue (and possibly the broken vol control and/or seemingly single-level volume).
That's it for tonight. Feel free to post any steps you followed to test the issue here.
Im up for this
Yea I keep getting that. In calls it. Echoes or sounds muffled I have noise cancelation checked

Being that the remote user hears themselves echo, it almost sounds like the gain on the second mic is too high. So when their voice comes through on the handset speaker, the second mic pics it up, and the echo is produced. What carrier and device does everyone have? Im on ATT with a Vivid and from what I understand there's no echo, at least none that has been reported.

I'm on ATT and Vivid. Sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't. Mostly people report I sound garbled but not with every conversation.
I'm getting reports that people are hearing themselves echo..
In Toronto on the chatr network..but the phones were originally from Rogers. On my end I have zero echo, everything is crystal clear, if a little quiet.

Second mic gain is what I suspect too, since quitter noises don't echo, but in my testing, I don't seem to be able to affect the mic/headset speaker gains using the configs. Though with that said, I wasn't specifically trying to reduce the top mic gain last time. I suppose that's the next step, as well as reviewing the code that loads the CSV values and sets values in software.
I'm wondering if we are not actually loading the values that are in the CSV, and are instead relying on defaults that were built in. Or the values are only loaded once. Or we have bypassed the loading or checking for changes, or something like that.
If anyone has the time to sleuth around github/XDA or wherever to find examples of kernel audio adjustments for other phones (on the same or similar boards) that would be a big help. I have had a hard time finding things on github. The advanced search seems a little less than useless to me.
I dont hear myself echo the other person does with noise cancelation unchecked and with it checked they say i sound muffled

I wonder if this is our problem - maybe the phone is ignoring the tpa config files and defaulting to stock board values, which are probably wack. I'd like to see dcacklam's git to see exactly what he's doing, but haven't found it yet. haven't looked too hard tbh. I have an idea of what he's trying to do though, I think, and may play around later - otherwise i'll try some stuff tomorrow.
He appears to be building a kernel for CM10 for the Amaze and just posted this a few hours ago (maybe helping maintain cm10, haven't searched too hard. I'm feeling lazy this evening, can you tell?):
dcacklam said:
[/COLOR]Think I have the audio-volume licked...
The phone was IGNORING the TPA2051_CFG.csv file and going with the hardcoded defaults in the driver source-file...
So I put a mix of HTC defaults, and EclipzeRemix's SpeedRom amplifier-config values (using SpeedRom numbers where no data existed in the stock TPA file) into the source-file...
And I am waiting for the kernel to build with these changes!

So as it turns out my remote parties hear themselves echo too
Lol - no one ever cared to tell me until tonight...
Same symptoms though - they hear themselves echo. But with me it doesn't seem to matter whether noise suppression is on or off, they still hear an echo of themselves, but hear me ok, and i hear them ok.
This may make it a little easier for me to troubleshoot though.
Sorry I've been telling everyone I'm not affected

Hmmmm.... Could this method in board-audio.c have something to do with the volume being stuck at one volume?
Code:
int holiday_get_rx_vol(uint8_t hw, int network, int level)

int vol = 0;
/* to be implemented */
pr_aud_info("%s(%d, %d, %d) => %d\n", __func__, hw, network, level, vol);

I saw this the other day - that was the only int vol reference I found actually. I don't understand the language well enough to know exactly what's going on or how it would need to be edited. Have you tried editing the 0 value to see if anything changes? Or do you know the language wee enough to tell it to look at the tpa configs for values...or even if that's where it would need to be done?

I'm doing a build right now with that value set to 3 to see if it changes anything.
I'm wondering if that is the method that catches the vol up/down commands and passes on the volume change.
If that's the case, what I would expect is that it has a usable range of 0-5. 0 is loudest, 5 is quietest. If that's true, here is where we would fix the volume control not working. However, that's not going to help us get the in-call volume up any higher.

I'm also testing a theory right now based on reverting this (https://github.com/Sportsstar89/and...mmit/9261a3aab974db0a376d3a398e4302e6ba53ca76) and this (https://github.com/Sportsstar89/and...mmit/56d56f55bf08dd25295bd93ae40b2df78ec30f52) (but leaving the att in call audio fix alone)
Comparing to HTC's sources (which could very possibly be very incomplete), these changes weren't there (obviously, or else they wouldn't be changes). Of course, we didn't have ATT in call audio with HTC's sources either. In the first commit, htc acoustic table values are directed to new sources (.csv files). In ATT's source, both audience and non audience were directed to aic3254 txt files. I'm thinking, since my previous "audiofix" which played with some TPA2051 values seemed to improve other audio, maybe these dsp .csv configs are only for non-call audio, and the in call audio requires a the aic .txt files? With the second commit - again, in HTC's source, they didn't have any indicators for ATT SKU 1 or ATT SKU 2, just ATT SKU3 had support_audience=1. What if not all of the ATT Vivid's have the audience chip? Only a select batch.(Edit: New theory for this is the support_audience=1 that was listed is actually defined for all 3 ATT SKU's, and the other entry "Default" is for the other models. So it's possible that the in call mic always worked if you screamed in it for ATT users, but maybe no one ever tried?) IFFFFF these theories were to pan out - it would possibly explain why some have echo and some don't, why in call audio seems worse for some people (and can't be adjusted), and possibly even why some ATT users have no trouble with in call audio on the first try, and others do. All theories though. h8rift seems like a smart dude, so chances are reverting these changes won't help a bit. But honestly, the ratio of things I've done that haven't worked/things I've fixed is like 200/3, so I won't be disappointed if nothing happens
Edit: Also - in HTC's sources "int vol = 0" as well
Edit: Well audio did initialize on the first call after flashing the new kernel and rebooting. Also rebooted again after that to test, and in call audio kicked in on the first call again. In the past after any kind of reboot, first call didn't work. Audio adjustment still doesn't work. I'll call my wife shortly to see if the echo still exists. But this appears to have at least killed the first call audio not working bug. If anyone else wants to test here you go:
zImage and bcmdhd.ko are here (https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B8HUFb41pK2eQjFZMWx6UE43VnM/edit)
Don't know about other recoveries, but with WCX, in Developer Options, you can make and flash boot from zImage. Follow on screen instructions. maybe someone else can make a boot.img and I'll make a flashable package.
Edit 2: Still echoes on remote end. Slightly, but it's there. I don't know how bad it was before though - didn't try it for myself til now. Also my wife just said it still echoes, but it's not as bad. Please test and post results (in which case I have a few other thoughts as well, but I'm going to lunch now )
The couple of calls I had over lunch said there wasn't any echo. Anyone give this a go yet?
Feedback on this^ flashed it and reports are crystal clear. Only complaint was that I was really quite. The person I called had just gotten off a call with someone else and the volume was fine so it looks like it is on my side.
Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully we get a few more that report the same, then I'll start trying to tweak volumes

mind posting your boot.img esloan? I tried repacking homeslice's zImage into mine but it won't boot. I must be missing something.
Is there any way to disable the secondary mic? This would (a) verify that the mic is causing the echo, and (b) provide a temporary workaround until a proper solution can be found.
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
and this works only for headphones? i also want to increase volume on speaker

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).
