How can I increase the volume? - Nexus 7 General

Hi everybody!
I found several threads about "How to increase the headphone volume". So I tried it for my Nexus 7 2012 and none of the tutorials work for me. My "mixer_paths.xml" looks totally different. Take a look:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<mixer>
<!-- These are the initial mixer settings -->
<ctl value="0" name="Speaker Playback Switch"/>
<ctl value="0" name="Int Spk Switch"/>
<ctl value="0" name="HP Playback Switch"/>
<ctl value="0" name="Headphone Jack Switch"/>
<ctl value="0" name="AUX Switch"/>
<ctl value="0" name="OUT Playback Switch"/>
<ctl value="0" name="OUT Channel Switch"/>
<!-- This is the dock volume -->
<ctl value="32" name="OUT Playback Volume"/>
<!-- This is the dock (line out) source -->
<ctl value="0" name="LOUT MIX DAC L1 Switch"/>
<ctl value="0" name="LOUT MIX DAC R1 Switch"/>
<ctl value="1" name="LOUT MIX OUTVOL L Switch"/>
<ctl value="1" name="LOUT MIX OUTVOL R Switch"/>
<ctl value="0" name="Int Mic Switch"/>
<ctl value="0" name="Mic Jack Switch"/>
<ctl value="Disable" name="DMIC Switch"/>
<ctl value="119" name="ADC Capture Volume"/>
-<path name="speaker">
<ctl value="1" name="Speaker Playback Switch"/>
<ctl value="1" name="Int Spk Switch"/>
<ctl value="swap" name="DAC IF1 SWITCH"/>
</path>
-<path name="headphone">
<ctl value="1" name="HP Playback Switch"/>
<ctl value="1" name="Headphone Jack Switch"/>
<!-- Even though the default is "Normal", this is used to override the speaker setting -->
<ctl value="Normal" name="DAC IF1 SWITCH"/>
</path>
-<path name="dock">
<ctl value="1" name="AUX Switch"/>
<ctl value="1" name="OUT Playback Switch"/>
<ctl value="1" name="OUT Channel Switch"/>
</path>
-<path name="main-mic-top">
<ctl value="1" name="Int Mic Switch"/>
<ctl value="DMIC1" name="DMIC Switch"/>
<ctl value="right copy to left" name="ADC IF1 SWITCH"/>
</path>
-<path name="main-mic-left">
<ctl value="1" name="Int Mic Switch"/>
<ctl value="DMIC1" name="DMIC Switch"/>
<ctl value="left copy to right" name="ADC IF1 SWITCH"/>
</path>

What do I have to change, to increase the maximum headphone volume? I have a SlimKat based ROM (Android 4.4.4). I also want to increase the "USB Volume" because I'm using an external USB sound card. Is it possible?
Best regards!

what about just getting the app "Equalizer" and pushing all the sliders up?

I would like to adjust the balance in headphones.

This is the app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer
I've been using it for many years.

And sometimes I use this one instead

depending on the device, sometimes one works better than the other.

Mixer Paths Edits

Any ideas where the bluetooth edits are for limiting max headphone volume?

Will the A2 support (or drive) Audio Technica ATH-M30X headphones?

From their website under the specification section the impedance of these headphones is 47 ohm. In general what level of impedance A2 can drive comfortably?
Well.. I had a bad experience with the sound for this phone.. with the dongle or via Bluetooth.. I have M50x and Mpow headphones (decent for the price).
M50x with Havoc 2.5 above 90% volume starts introducing noise..
Mpow still not tested in 2.5 but in 2.4 the connection was weak and there was a lot lack of sound richness.
Edit: Just installed ViPR4Android FX from Magisk and after tweaking a little bit you can get a decent audio quality from the Mi A2 with mid/hi end headphones..

bluetooth max volume

volume on my bluetooth headsets is limited although I enabled "Disable absolute volume" - any suggestions.
They used to work at much higher volumes
TIA
Try RE equaliser from the playstore.
It allows you to increase the gain and is a ten band equaliser.
Just remember to turn off any other equalisers that you use.
Go into the settings and you have an option to make it work for Bluetooth and wired headsets.

Quad DAC tweak finally achieved.

Just need to plug in a DUNU 3.5mm to 3.5mm impedance adapter (75ohm) into a 3.5mm AUX extension adapter, then plug it into your headphone jack.
Then remove the DUNU impedance adapter and plug in headphones. You can change the headphones but leave the extension adapter and it'll stay in high impedance mode.
This worked with the V60 as well before I had to return it due to it being defective. I'll buy another eventually.

That only gets it into aux mode so it's louder but the sound quality is not improved, I'm getting high impedance with my method.
I don't currently use any headphones that need the boost, but I'll definitely keep this in mind. Thanks!
If your headphones have removable cables, you can, with both unplugged, plug the audio cable into the phone. Then go ahead and plug the other end back into your headphones, and this will trick your phone into giving you the full power DAC. This works. It's hilarious but it works.
in v30 i used just those lines
<!-- ESS DAC START -->
<path name="headphones-hifi-dac">
<ctl name="Es9018 AVC Volume" value="0" />
<ctl name="Es9018 Master Volume" value="0" />
<ctl name="Es9018 HEADSET TYPE" value="2" />
</path>

and that bring me HIGH GAIN mode and not Aux, that is worser.
Here in G8/v50 there is same file in vendor/etc ...called as mixer_path_blablabla
Found same lines about Dac and this doesnt helped at all. Need to find out, coz dont wanna use this tricks with wires, prefer to use phone at the maximum, i paid for this.
okay i found out. There is in Product/OP/Audio/mixer_paths_tavil ... need to find lines for ESS DAC START
<!-- ESS DAC START -->
<path name="headphones-hifi-dac">
<ctl name="Es9018 AVC Volume" value="0" />
<ctl name="Es9018 Master Volume" value="0" />
<ctl name="Es9018 HEADSET TYPE" value="2" />
</path>

maybe in vendor/etc need to find same file and make same changes, not sure, did it in both
It was better than AUX mod, that can be done with wires.
That's a cool little trick! Thank you.
