L90 Volume Boost - Solution, and a Question!

Hey mates .
Here's the thing, i want to remove that Loud Volume Headset Warning that makes volume pretty Low.
For now all i found to really increase volume is this:
Sound Boost.apk Freeware : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.cacheux.soundboost "Just activate the apk before you plug-in your earphone/headphone".
This for sure will increase volume, but i wanted to know if the 'quality' of this increased sound is the same quality as if the volume limiter was really removed, because i think this app switches the Music channel to Voice Channel in order to gain volume.
So i wanted to ask someone to do something like this: whoever of you that already did somehow removed the limit volume warning by Xposed Framework or tools like that one, to try installing this SoundBoost apk and tell me if the quality and volume is the same as if we had removed the warning by Xposed or other tools.
Thanks for your attention mates, have a good day :good:

Is There Any Way To Get More Volume Steps

To be clear........ I'm not asking about getting louder volume but rather more volume steps. 15 steps for multimedia volume just isn't enough. I don't want to go down the custom rom route. The only way I can see to get more volume steps at the moment is to downgrade to MM and use Xposed with Gravitybox or something similar.
Is there any way to get more volume steps on Nougat? It would be really nice if Oneplus could implement this into the stock rom as they have with several other "custom rom" types of features.

Looking at AudioService in AOSP repository for Android 7.0 I can see:
https://android.googlesource.com/pl...om/android/server/audio/AudioService.java#624
which means if you are rooted you should be able to edit build.prop to insert config line ro.config.media_vol_steps=X where X is the number of desired volume steps.

I too would like this. When streaming BT audio the jump in volume from one step to the next is way too high.

Maybe Oneplus should change it to something like nexus devices, where you can scroll the volume bar continuously from 100% to 0% without steps...much more practical, especially in cases like an alarm, where even the first step now is quite loud.

Exactly same issue here! I hate it!! Music sounds all stupid and with OnePlus tweaking the sound. The music is not natural like it's supposed to be! Saw it on a video **** sucks! Maybe alot of people can't noticed the difference and I do mean ALOT. But I can! And the few also complaining about this too! No equalizer works properly. Treble too high and the mids are low! Bass not even there. I'm actually using my s7 edge for music because the DAC on oneplus 3T is absolutely horrible

Confirmed to work on a rooted 3t

install magisk and use the module that increases volume steps. You don't need a custom ROM or xposed for this.

tried all the above on lenovo m8 fhd (android 10) best I get is two volume ranges. No one has a fix for this so looks like a custom rom is needed

[FIX] Experiencing low sound in calls ?

I am experiencing low sound in calls after latest update 4.0.3 . Any fixes available ?

Guys after looking into some threads , i got something useful . my call volume is fixed .
Download BuildProp Editor by JRummy on the Google Play Store and open it up. Tap on the “pencil” icon in the top right to bring up the manual editing mode. Scroll all the way to the bottom and add either of the build.prop lines mentioned above and set it equal to the number of volume steps you want to have. For example, entering these two commands at the end will double the number of in-call volume steps and media volume steps respectively.
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=14
ro.config.media_vol_steps=30
Once you’ve entered these commands, reboot your phone. If it worked, you should now have as many volume steps as you specified in build.prop.

Thanks for this post. I suffered from annoying low in call volume on my previous device so know how irritating it can be, especially when making calls in busy areas, like a road with heavy traffic. I've only had this device for a few days and since getting it have been away in an area where there is next to no mobile signal so I have not taken or received any calls.
Question
What you have written would seem to suggest that the prop changes would increase the number of volume steps that are applicable for each volume type, but, does does this really alter the actual maximum volume setting? if not then I can't see that this is a fix.

The code is like this
// Initialize volume
int maxVolume = SystemProperties.getInt("ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps",
MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_VOICE_CALL]);
if (maxVolume != MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_VOICE_CALL]) {
MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_VOICE_CALL] = maxVolume;
AudioSystem.DEFAULT_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_VOICE_CALL] = (maxVolume * 3) / 4;
}
maxVolume = SystemProperties.getInt("ro.config.media_vol_steps",
MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_MUSIC]);
if (maxVolume != MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_MUSIC]) {
MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_MUSIC] = maxVolume;
AudioSystem.DEFAULT_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_MUSIC] = (maxVolume * 3) / 4;
}
i think it alters the max volume but i am not sure but my low call volume is definitely fixed . I just added the lines which i mentioned above.

Testing on my Mi A1, now I have to wait to receive a call. (*Insert a Forever Alone Meme)
EDIT: It changes the number of incremental steps, but the maximum volume remains the same.

Does this fix work on latest OxygenOS betas? There was a TWRP flashable zip before but not sure if it works still.

just clean the speaker grill.

Already cleant the speaker grill. Need the volume to be boosted

Flashable zip worked on nugatt but not work in oreo since tasha mixer files are in different localization, you need to manual change values in tasha_miser_paths.xml in system/vendor/etc root folder.
I can send you my edited file.

magisk module named "low in call volume fix oneplus 3/3t for RR" not sure if the name is exactly the same but just type "low in" and the module should show up. Tho its for RR i use it on beta 25 and the issue is fixed ! :good:

Increasing the volume steps in root\System\build.prop didn't change the output volume for me.
I solve this issue by modifying a single parameter in "root"\system\vendor\etc\mixer_paths_mtp.xml
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/how-to-modify-ear-speaker-volume-mi-a1-t3779866)
Best regards.

Fixed it by editing the RX0-RX8 Digital Volume values from 84 to 94 in mixer_paths_tasha.xml file found in /vendor/etc folder and it works! Now I keep the call volume 1-2 levels lower than full. Tried it on OxygenOS beta 24. Thanks for the help everyone.

Changing volume steps

Hi,
Can anyone help?
Im using a variant of stock, and would like to change the volume steps to fit with the steps in MacroDroid (30 steps).
I known you can do it on AOSP ROMs, but was wondering if there was a file I could edit manually if no app is available?
Thanks!

And if there was a way to set min volume to anything < 14% that'd be great too

This was easy to achieve back in the Exposed days, but not anymore. Maybe there's a Magisk module to achieve this, haven't tried Magisk on LOS so can't tell.

In case you have root, add the following line to your build.prop with build prop editor from the play store:
ro.config.media_vol_steps=30
Edit; And reboot

Also looking for this but tried this setting and there seems to be no difference?
Edit: I am trying to change the ringtone volume, perhaps that's a different setting than media_vol?

I Agree the ring and notification volume need more steps, the lowest it too loud. Or add increasing volume for both at least.

[GUIDE] headphone volume boost / increase / fix (both ROOT/noroot)

Hi,
-ROOT
if you have root
1. Install QUICKEDIT (free from play store)
2. Open file: /vendor/etc/mixer_paths.xml
3. Search for HPHL/HPHR values (first screenshot) and change the value to 20
4. Search for RX1 digital volume (and RX2... Like on attached screenshots) and change values to 86-88. Dont change values any higher for safety reasons
5. SAVE file, exit Quickedit
6. REBOOT
7. enjoy!

Tested on redmi note 7 miui 11, android 10/ aosp roms also
-NOROOT
1. Open settings on phone
2. Set "Japan" in region settings
3. DONE! open any music player and enjoy
No root or app or restart needed.

No, this values only changes volume gain via 3,5 jack for headphones. So this will not work for Bluetooth /speaker (internal or external).
If you connect phone via line-in cable to car/speaker aux input, volume will be boosted

Thanks
thanks this solution

Why is Japan louder by default?
Maybe so that the shutter sound will still be heard through the headphones?

Thanks Japan.

I got root on my stock rom MIUI 12.02. I changed the values as recommended (even raised RX1 and 2 to 94) but there is no difference. Still too low volume.

How i can only boost earpiece in-call volume manual with edit vendor/etc/mixer_paths.xml, what i need to do ?
On lineage os 17.1 in-call volume is very low.
