For those that have their shiny S6 rooted.. copy this file with any root explorer to System/etc and make sure permissions are set to 0644. It's a noticeable boost. You can go higher but then the distortion starts.
Modded one Link
Stock untouched one Link

Code:
<path name="gain-media-speaker">
<ctl name="DSP5L Input 1 Volume" value="32" />
<ctl name="DSP5L Input 2 Volume" value="32" />
<ctl name="AIF4TX1 Input 1 Volume" value="32" />
<ctl name="AIF4TX2 Input 1 Volume" value="32" />
</path>
Those are values that I c hanged. Enjoy.

Thank you so much! Works good
You said it's a file, but this looks more like a script in the link. How do we apply this specifically?

Thank you. I dont use the pc too often so now I have a reason to fire it up. Kind of like an old muscle car. I just drive it once a month on the weekends[emoji12]
I've done some searching but cant seem to find the answer. When I open the permissions and there are 6 boxes, which ones stand for the numbers 0644? I got it working with the same permissions as the stock file but I guess for future reference, what is what?
Edit: Found it.

I have updated the file with headset volume boost. Values changed from 32 to 50. Could adjust according to desired max volume. It made a considerable boost to max volume, maybe too much.
Code:
<path name="gain-media-headset">
<ctl name="Noise Gate Switch" value="0" />
<ctl name="HPOUT1L Impedance Volume" value="117" />
<ctl name="HPOUT1R Impedance Volume" value="117" />
<ctl name="HPOUT1L Input 1 Volume" value="50" />
<ctl name="HPOUT1R Input 1 Volume" value="50" />

Sorry, you need to extract the mixer_path.xml file from the zip and place in phone storage. And move it to "/system/etc/mixer_path.xml" and overwrite the existing.
I used root explorer app to copy the file to /system/etc/
Also, you will need to enable Read/Write for the /etc/ folder. Root explorer makes it easy.

i've found 1 side effect from boosting headphone volume. i boosted mine to 50 and when i turn the volume up in my headphones the device automatically stops the music at a certain volume. i dont know if this is a fail safe thing or if the DAC in my phone is faulty. anyone else's phone doing this? it does this for me using poweramp or the default music player.
Same here. Referring to the post above mine.

You're overloading your DAC..trying to amplify sound outside it's lmits

has anyone figured out what in the /system/etc/mixer_path.xml file we change to increase headphone volume?
I figured it out. Go into mixer_paths.XML and scroll down to the output volume stage around line 2221. Below that is gain media headset. That's the area you want to alter. Below that you will see hpout1l input 1 volume. Change that value and the hpout1r value. I turned mine up to 50 and it's definitely noticeable.

Yes my dac crashed even if I set it to 40. I found a sweet spot at 37. Gives a good volume increase and the dac in my phone doesn't crash.

I have the same question.
Well everybody, as it has been asked many times now so i bring you the guide to increase the ""Microphone Gain"" on lollipop.
You will need to make some changes to the mixer_paths.xml content located in system/etc.
Open in Notepad++ or editor of choice and search for <path name="rec-main-mic">.
See below for what to edit,be careful not to adjust more than the value stated.
Save and set permissions to 644 or rw-r-r then reboot.

You "WILL" have to reflash the mod after each ROM update
Hope this helps :good:

10.x version is just a standard up-scaled mic and speaker gain..
11.x Same as 10.x but uses the internal speaker as well as loud speaker for sound playback

Ideally CM would take it serious and patch in upstream but they stand by "we use the same values as Samsung" which clearly is broken if ANY testing had been done.
Most people don't even catch the gain issue as the volume stands out a lot more. For me the fix comes with the xml and long term will probably be with a new phone.
Moto X Pure or Note 5 incoming.
Can you also make a file for better (very) loud recordings?
Can you also edit, that in normal recording volume its like on stock?

I will upload a "Stock" version but if you backup your original before flashing the zip then you can always reverse the changes . The recording mic gain is pretty loud in my mod, you can increase it more but I do not recommend this at all.

Sorry, I think I writed it a little bit wrong.
I mean a zip to record in loud places, not loud audiofiles. For example, at a concert
But the mic volume on phonecalls and peaceful surroundings should like stock, is this possible?
Okay, I tried the modified file for one day and it is a bit too loud for me. When I was driving and you had driving sound in the background while recording a voice message in WhatsApp it sounds very distorted.. When it is quiet around you it is very good. Is there anything I can do against this? Maybe lower the values a bit? So if I lower it do I have to lower all values?
The microphone is definitely not as good as my galaxy S2's microphone, that has a superb audio quality.. I guess Samsung makes savings on microphone quality or it is limited by settings..
I don't know if it would be helpful to send you the xml File of my S2 to compare the values. There I had installed CM11 and sound was great

The mod does not affect the mic during phone calls, that remains untouched. I am looking into making it a little more audible in loud environments.

Damn I am on Android 4.4.4 (SlimSaber, a derivate of SlimKat) on my old Galaxy S2 and there I cannot find that file..
Do you know if it is maybe somewhere else under KitKat?
EDIT:
Okay I checked the new file, it is better but still a bit scratched in the peaks. What did you changed compared to the first file? I would also say, that the voice is a bit deeper than on my Galaxy S2 but I think that is not settings related but hardware

Good morning,
many thanks again for your work
I checked it again while driving today. It is better than with the first file but still a bit distorted in the peaks.
Volume is good but quality is still a bit "scratched"
I could also record a sound file in whatsapp and send it to you via Mail if you need it for further improvement
If everything is ok I will share your thread in german android-hilfe forum and translate it to german
Btw. I found a very little error in the opener: "Back to Sock Zip" - I think you mean Stock Zip
regards
That is not a problem at all @j1gga84. Haha, minor spelling errors darn it, I have a new file to upload when I get to my laptop
is increasing the gain better for a quiet environment or a loud compared to stock?

I would say for a quiet environment because microphone gets more sensitive, in a lound environment it gets distorted but thejester123 is still optimizing the file and the one you can download right now is much better than the first one from yesterday :good:

Hi, I'm here with a solution for the low audio notes on Samsung Galaxy S5 running cyanogenmod 13 or 14, also works on 14.1.
I have the SM-G900M version, I don't know if this works on the other versions.
Well, to increase volume on audio notes (like when you record in Whatsapp) first you have to:
1- Download a file browser. I download ES File Explorer File Manager.
2- Then activate root on: Settings > Developer options* > Root Acces > Apps and ADB''
*You can activate developer clicking many times on : ''Settings > About Phone > Build number''
3- Go to ES File Explorer and activate ''Root Explorer'' and ''Show Hidden Files''. Then go to Settings (in the app) and in Home Directory select '' / '' click ''Ok''
4- ''App menu > Home'' and select the folder ''etc'' the scroll down and select the file ''mixer_paths.xml'' and open it with Es Note Editor.
5- Scroll down until you see <!-- Recording Scenario -->
6- Then change the values as I have them here :

7- Save the changes, go back and reboot.
8- If is to loud, or low, you can change the values that I put in ''130'', if you put instead of ''130'', ''90'' the recording audios will be hear more low.

Can anyone show me how to boost microphone in video recording? All other things are working, but when I record a video my microphone sound is very, very low. What I have to edit?
Thanks.
Man, you are insane, I've been looking for this for a long time! Thank you so much!
I find 117 instead of 130 more to my taste.
I wonder if there's a way to control also the whatsapp video calls mic gain...
It works! My G900M S5 was in a lower voice and after change the values now fixed it. Thanks
Is this fix S5 exclusive? I have the same low mic volume issue on my S4 since the last update of LOS. It used to work fine in previous versions.
Great fix
I have ressurection Remix ROM on an SM-GT900T Galaxy S5 and Voice recordings and WhatsApp Voice recording were low, I applied your fix to only the three values you suggested at 130 and edited them to 120 and the results were excellent.

I'm using Galaxy S5 g900m (klte) and I'm having the same issue, but it's not on Cyanogenmod, it's on LineageOS 15.1 Oreo.
When you record audio and send it via Whatsapp, Telegram, the sound is too low compared to the Stock ROM.
It happens when you listen to the audio as well. Everything seems to be very low, even if you put eveything 100%
mixer_paths.xml doesn't exist on lineageOS

*Bypass Quad DAC detection for headset/headphones to be enable for all connected AUX
*Restore Google stock volume value for Headset/Headphones
This audio configuration will enable Hi-res Output Experimental for AUX/Wired Headphones in PowerAMP since PowerAMP didn't detect AUX/Wired Headphones in PIE ROM
NOTE :
PowerAMP still has bug DVC in PIE ROM in certain sampling rate (88.2Khz,176Khz,352Khz,384Khz) no sound if you choose the one that i listed.
DVC Only work with 44.1Khz,48Khz,96Khz and 192Khz
So if u want to use e.g 384Khz you need to disable DVC in PowerAMP
Install this mod via TWRP and you are ready to listening music
I can confirm it fixes the inverted bug of the quad DAC switch in AOSP pie Roms. Working well over here, i can hear the difference in sound.
The filters seem to be a bit buggy now.
I am using this on my device as I found that inverted switch irritating.
I use USB audio player btw
This is amazing thank you for this ,I'm a longtime Poweramp user, best music player in the market
Thks for your hardwork on this mod

Would you mind sharing what you change in these file?

You can take all those files from Stock ROM, since stock ROM still include old/legacy audio configuration, for more info https://source.android.com/devices/audio/implement-policy
To fix Quad DAC you need to edit mixer_path_tavil.xml
Code:
<!-- 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="1" />
</path>
<path name="headphones-hifi-dac-advanced">
<ctl name="Es9018 AVC Volume" value="0" />
<ctl name="Es9018 Master Volume" value="0" />
<ctl name="Es9018 HEADSET TYPE" value="2" />
</path>
<path name="headphones-hifi-dac-aux">
<ctl name="Es9018 AVC Volume" value="0" />
<ctl name="Es9018 Master Volume" value="0" />
<ctl name="Es9018 HEADSET TYPE" value="3" />
</path>
<path name="headphones-hifi-dacdop">
<ctl name="Es9018 AVC Volume" value="0" />

Dont use this on pie, it has bugs. Search Magisk] Enable 24 bit output for PowerAmp on PIE thread
Just want to give my thanks! You're a life saver.
I just bought a V30 because it looked like a perfect phone with a great headphone jack. Unlocked it and tried some custom ROMs, and EVERY single one had a horrible hiss/high noise floor in the sound, no matter the DAC setting. I was literally ready to sell this phone just a week after buying it because I love my good sound quality. But your ZIP fixed it. It sounds perfect now.
So if anyone has a loud hiss using headphones, regardless of HIM or regular DAC modes, absolutely give this a try.
I'm running the ResurrectionRemix 7 (Pie) ROM. I don't have any bugs, and my DAC actually seems to function better, i.e. I don't have to turn it off and on every time I play music to actually apply the DAC settings.
How do I restore to stock? I get terrible hissing with my earbuds.
As this is a TWRP flashable, the changes it makes are not easily reversible. You can either take apart the flashable zip, read through the install script and try to reverse it. Or you can restore the system backup you made before flashing a TWRP mod. If you didn't make a backup, your next best bet is to reflash the rom itself through TWRP or if your coming from a KDZ, reflash the System partition using patched LGUP (make sure its the EXACT KDZ you came from, if its not, your better off backing up your data and following one of Chaz's guides to reflash the whole thing, these phones CAN be bricked by software if your not careful).

This mod simply overrides some files. You'll need to put the original files back. What is your ROM version? I also tried this mod and didn't like it. Reverted it back with the flashable zip (attached) containing the original files made for my specific ROM version (V30q). It might cause issues if you have an other version but I don't really think it will.
Thank you, that did the job (v30q, H930). All mods should have a remover if possible, really. Partially my fault for not doing a backup before though.

It's great to see that it solved the noise problem for you. Is there hissing or noise when playing in apps, for example Youtube, Spotify or Tidal? Or it just fixes the noise floor/ hissing for Poweramp?

It only fixed the hissing in Poweramp. Which was my main concern. But it's a little funny when listening to a song with zero hiss, and then have a notification sound come up in the middle that hisses like crazy.
But yeah, Spotify, YouTube, Firefox, system sounds, etc all hiss.
Hello!
I am using HavocOS and my Xiaomi Airdots pro. Is there a way to increase the Bluetooth volume? Is increasing it with Viper the only way? Especially in Spotify it is very quitly. I have tried to deactivate the max bluetooth volume in the dev settings but with no result.
You have a few options,
You can sift through audio folders that are approximately here : Path : system/vendor/etc/ and then locate mixer_paths_overlay_static.xml and mixer_paths_tavil.xml
Do some trial and error with manually increasing audio values For example : changing <ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="17" /> to <ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="20" />
Another option
Flash the attached files that I found on 4PDA a few months ago
I don't remember who to give credit to because I had trouble re-finding it just now. So if the creator sees this post, PM me with your details and I will edit this post and provide credit.
Edit Credit goes to this person : http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=912822&view=findpost&p=83438213
I have used the mod and it definitely worked for me and should work on any rom.
First a Caveat : Use at your own risk.
Although I have used this mod and as mentioned it does in fact work. If you have an issue, don't blame me.
Although there is an uninstall file : make a Nandroid backup and so if the sound quality isn't ideal for you, and for some reason the uninstaller doesn't work, you can quickly go back without too much hassle.
Enjoy.
Thank You very much, i will try
You can also install Xiaomi eu. It's playing music much much better and louder than official rom.

You can also use the louder audio flashable zip I made for mi8 in the mods section.

Cool!
I never knew that you made one.
Edit: How much headroom does your audio mod leave? As you probably already know, should be definitely no higher than -3db, this volume is usually loud enough and without compression artifacts or digital noise.
Edit 2 : Nevermind, I see you left the dynamics, Excellent!
I am sure that your mod has better quality than the one I posted. Thanks for your work.

Does it work also on HavocOS? Because in the topic stands "[MIUI Global]"
Just asking to be sure.

It should if you are using MIUI firmware / Vendor partition. The audio files are in the Vendor partition and usually are linked to that location from the system/etc directory. The mod goes to both places.
Ich have found the file mixer_paths_tavil.xml in vendor/etc/
There are some sections with "Digital Volume"
<ctl name="RX0 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX3 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX4 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX5 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX6 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX7 Digital Volume" value="84" />
I dont know if i can change it to 90. There are more sections where "Digital Volume" is listed but with diferent values like 81 and so

You can do what you prefer, but i've been modding sound since the first consumer HERO phone. I would not go higher than 87 or 88 on the digital side to help reduce distortion. I also wouldn't turn the amp louder than 19 to 21 (def no more than 24 max).
Rule of thumb for audio:
LINEOUT 1&2 Volume to around 18 or 19
HPHL & HPHR to around 24
ADC1 & ADC2 all to 84
RX0 to RX7 all to 84
DEC0 to DEC8 all to 84
Don't forget to check the other mixer files overlay_dynamic and overlay_static. My mod goes through all of the files tweaks all areas for change.
