I recently installed CM14.1 but noticed that the most comfortable volume is somewhere between 1 and 3. Everything else is ridiculously loud (like physically uncomfortable). In stock MIUI a comfortable volume is somewhere in the middle (6-10). Is there a way to adjust the minimum and maximum values or change the intervals?
Thanks!
You can try making use of AudioFX built into the cm ROM. Try lowering the dB values equally in the app. You should be able to adjust it to comfortable levels that way!

Hi,
I'm rooted, but I'd prefer to keep the stock kernel. Is there any way to gain better control over the volume? The lowest volume setting, for media/songs, etc., is entirely too loud for an office or in bed. I would like to avoid using my headphones 24/7.
Thanks!

*cough*porn*cough* I would feel weird watching 'media' in bed with my headphones on too. I haven't found a way of lowering the lowest volume setting yet though...
edit: there's a flashable mod by Matt here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2299834 that gives finer control between steps (30/45 steps instead of stock 15) but doesn't lower the lowest step volume, hence the reason the lowest two steps are silent with the mod..
Hey together,
I own an Xperia V and want to use it in my car to be able to make calls without touching my phone.
In my car I have a Becker igo8 navigation system (active 43 control).
The problem is that even if I set the volume to max at the becker and the xperia, the in-call volume is really low.
Low means enough when the car is standing still, howewer no way to hear something at 30km/h or more.
I'm currently at Rizal's Rom (Lovins X Z2, A.2.5) and here are the things I've tried:
--> Practically any app on the appstore --> none boosted the volume
--> Viper --> Really nice, however regarding bluetooth it only boost the music volume not the incall volume
--> Modified the snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3-File. I've tried manually editing the parameters (RX Digital Volume) and also
used modified versions by other authors.
With a modified file I had it louder for one week. Then I wanted to write an android-app which changed the settings. By the time I was finished, the volume did reset itself to standard values (I don't know why), meaning that again it is pretty low.
I can't reproduce what I did to get it load again. I sat in my car for hours, trying to change parameters, save, reboot and test by making a call.
Next try: using the AlsaMixer-App from the market. While a call was active (mailbox) I changed __every__ setting which included "volume" in its name, I could find to the max that alsamixer told me. While I could change the speaker-volume this way, I wasn't really sucessful regarding bluetooth incall-volume.
One setting "Voice Rx Volume" I could change in between 0 and 5. When setting it to 5 it didn't change, however when I lowered the incall-volume with the slider and then increased it again, the volume was louder. Loader in this case however isn't nearly enough to make a call while driving. It also isn't nearly that load as it was before when playing around with the snd_soc-file.
One note: while I did all those tests, I was on Rizals old version of the rom. Now I am on the new version A.2.5). Don't know if that makes any difference.
This is why I am asking you for help. Any ideas? I would really love to be able to make calls, as it only is a matter of volume...
Cheers
One note:
Adding ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=10 to build.prop also doesn't change anything.
I could find out via logcat that:
the "stream" responsible is "Voice RX Volume". Apparently 0 is the maximum, the higher the value the smaller the volume. Via alsamixer 5 is the lowest, by using the buttons on the phone in call, logcat displays level 100 at minimum. 0 is the maximum in both cases.
So, how to actually boost that Voice RX volume? I cannot find it in snd_soc_sms's fusion3-file.
Any ideas?
Hi Elarion,
Did you ever find a solution to your low call volume? I have the same problem on my Xperia T, volume on the Bluetooth headset is ridiculously low and I need to fix it!

Is there a way to lower the volume by about 1/2 of the lowest volume setting? The ringer is quite loud (which is actually good for other reasons), but the lowest setting for the ringer is also quite loud in an office setting.
I know I could put it on vibrate, but I do like to hear it as well - just not as loud. Is there any way to reduce the volume a bit more at the lowest setting?
Thanks in advance for any tips/hints etc.
Are you rooted?
Not rooted, but could be.
Im using a combo approach with dolby atmos (dap_r6.5.zip)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-dolby-atmos-t3109446
and an xposed module VolumeSteps+
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2884962
Might have to turn off the built in music fx EQ. Then I increased the volume steps to 15. I lowered the levels in dolby atmos to the volume level I like.
Just an FYI, in the stock, unrooted 3.5.4 update it allowed the lowest volume to go a bit lower (sounds about 1/2 as loud as the previous (3.5.3) low volume setting).
Happy!
Hey everyone,
I'm running AEX 6 on my Zuk Z2 Pro, but I'm noticing that during calls, especially with Skype and WhatsApp, the volume is too high. I have them already on their minimum.
I searched the net and found out that I can modify the mixer_paths _tasha.xml file to reduce the volume. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out what all the "paths=" mean and which ones I have to edit to reduce the volume.
I need to reduce:
1) In call speaker volume
2) In call headphone volume
The normal volumes, ex. when listening to music, are perfect, just in-call the volumes rise automatically even if android says they are low.
I'm looking forward for your help ?

im also trying, in oreo this is impossible i think, system wont react on any values i put in mixer path.
in nougat roms i just edit rx7 value, but in oreo this wont work.
you can also try some kernel editor, and there should be some section to adjust sound levels if kernel alows for that.
I am wondering if anyone uses any method to boost their speaker volume? The XZ1 Compact speakers, on max volume, are very hard to hear while driving down the highway or over basic kitchen noise.
maybe try this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/port-sony-xperia-xz2-sound-enhancements-t3772758
If you are playing a specific audio file or something like that then you can alter the file's levels, say in Audacity or Audition. This could reasonably boost the levels if the source file is not already leveled very high.
Or if you want system-wide volume boost you can drag all the equalizer parameters to max gain in settings-sound-audio settings-sound effects-equaliser. Both methods may result in clipping but if it's really necessary to go that loud I guess a bit clipping won't be a huge problem, where the problem more lies in the life of speakers being shortened as they are powered beyond their designated volume
