What's it saying? Poweramp with fx option working here. Will say 1 thing coming from LG. They **** on everyone with Audio. But Note still overall better phone.

Are you referring headphone sound or speaker sound?

sorry but I did not understand you, I do not understand lg, here I'm talking about notes 8, and activating the music fx button has no effect.

I refer only to the headset, with the speakers no problem.
edit: strangely I solved the volume by switching off and on, but I can not explain why this behavior.

poweramp works, but I do not work music fx, if I activate the music fx button the button turns on but does not change the sound effects I set in sound alive.
I hope I explained myself.

1. Root
2. X-plore or any other file manager with root access
Procedure:
1. Extract and replace "mixer_paths.xml" in root/system/etc
2. Change the permissions to rw-r--r--
3. Restart your mobile
Mod Includes:
1. Internal speaker volume boost.
2. Headphones boost.
3. Stereo sound in speaker mode during a voice call.
Note:
I won't be responsible if anything goes wrong.
Please backup your original mixer_paths.xml file before replacing it.​
Yeah! This works fine for internal speakers and headphones. I haven't tried speaker mode for voice call yet, but I'm satisfied. Thank you!
I can confirm speaker on call works! I was using the phone on speaker for the first time today and quickly learned I needed this. works amazing. I just need more volume steps now lol
Edit: now that I've tried wired audio I keep getting pauses while on the last two steps of volume. Max speaker volume during calls and videos works. Bluetooth audio word at max as well. wired issue is more of a bug as before the last two steps the volume is plenty loud! Just an FYI.
SUPERB

Yes, that happens sometimes.

This is a volume boost.
Can you guys test. Randomly I am not able to send audio from Telegram or Whatsapp, just wondering if it has something to do with this patch...

Audio Bug in Oero Open Beta & Leak Beta

Sometimes when I use my headphone and switch in different songs or apps that use audio output, there will be a difference of volume between the left and right channels. I have to stop my music for about 5 seconds to recover to the normal output.

Mono Audio

It's definitely a bug which only exists in Oero builds. You shouldn't give up your right to enjoy stereo music to escape from facing this bug. :crying:
Moreover, sometimes the audio stops from reproducing through the speakers and reproduces from the earpiece... Have to reboot to fix it temporarily.
Hi. I have the same problem too.

as far as i know Mono Audio mean NOT stereo but only 1 speaker
so if its ENABLED thats mean you will hear from one speaker only
but DISABLE it and your stereo should be ok
i think Oneplus put this option because they have only one speaker in the phone
and to make all the sound come from it they combined the
2 stereo channels in one using this option

You misunderstood the bug. Mono Audio is disabled by default. This bug has nothing with the opinion.
I am facing this too , i thought either my earphones have gon e bad or jack has fried. So its a software issue i belive.

Notification sound too low (mono versus stereo)

Just got the Note9 after have the 8. Nasty surprise when I found out it is almost impossible to hear notification sounds on this phone due to streaming through only the bttome speaker while all other audio is through both. Samsung states its a "limitation of the device".... So that.
Anyone know of an app or other method that would allow me to set the notificatio sounds to stream as rigntone or media to get them in stereo? I tried Lightflow and setting the sound through there as a full ring tone, but it still streams the audio as a notification through the bottom speaker only.
Bump
It's lower than the note 8 I think.
Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk
It's definitely lower than the Note 8. Not sure why only the notifications play through one speaker and all others are through both. An app or work around would be incredible.
Hey guys, having the same issue here. I am using an app called Volume Booster Goodev. No root needed. Just set the volume to go up by 10% and you should be fine. I know I am, cause I missed my notifs before... Good Luck!

I noticed the low volume when playing podcasts. I downloaded the app you recommended, and now I'm happy! With the 10% increase there is no distortion, only loud clean sound. Thanks

Try rebooting your phone.
Happy to help! The only thing they recommend is not to go over 40% increase. But 10% is enough anyway

Not as straight forward, but if you have used it, Tasker will play the sound through as stereo once set up. Works really well :good:
You re welcome, glad I could help
Hi. Does it also rise the in call volume?
I don't feel like it helps...my calls sound is low
But still it is not activating the upper speaker.
I see this post is quite old. But, wanted to report Volume Booster GOODEV solved *my* problem as well. Thank you *so much* for posting this solution! btw, had to use a tor browser to post this reply (XDA's server won't allow me to register a user *and* post from the same IP in a short period of time??) lol

Weak Audio using Headphones

Hello guys,
I'm facing a problem that the audio is so weak or low using the headphones, I tried many headphones but nothing also I tried to fix the equalizer but nothing...
I don't know what to do with this problem however i tried these headphones with other mobile (iPhone 5s) the sound was really really cool.
Anyone is facing this problem?
Thanks in advance
No. Sometimes the sound gets made a lot quieter and you look at the screen and it's not saying anything, so you increase the volume and only then do you get a message about volume damaging your hearing you have to ok before actually increasing the sound.

I already did that and the sound level is full but still low in the headphones
There is effects settings for headphones turn it off and the sound will be good, but via inbuild speaker it will be weak then.

I do still I didn't notice, the I feel like the voice is kinda low when I use Spotify, but it works perfect with Poweramp, though I use FLAC
Can anybody tell me why sound level and quality is so low? Can't listen to my favourite music because it sounds like crap. I'm using BT headphones.

Have you used decent headphones? I know people often use Bluetooth headphones but they are terrible (the protocol lossily encodes audio so even if you started with FLAC that's not what you'd end up with in your ears)? I listen exclusively to FLAC via both decent Sennheiser headphones and cheap Philips earbuds and they both sound great to me (via Rocket Player). So you have a problem but I don't think it's your choice of phone.

Ofc it is SBC but there is no problem with Redmi note 4. I checked it with iPhone 6 and still no problem. Then I tried old p9 lite and... same problem. So huawei/honor is still have problem with Bluetooth. (I remember old p8 lite and problems with WiFi speed while using bt speaker)

Audio Equalizers are not working

Always had a great music combo (quality wise) with Black Player EX (and it' s magnificent equalizer) and my Haylou GT1 ear buds in my Redmi Note 5!! Previously I used Air Dots...
Now, with Mi9T Pro, I can't get decent sound and music out of the phones!!!
The Equalizer of the player, changing the presets, doesn't do anything!
I tried Mi Music app, and it's equalizer and, all the same, nothing changed!!!
Tried 3rd party equalizers for android and nothing seems to change that flat and mediocre sound...
Really sad, this great phone and I can' t have the same audio quality I had with my Redmi Note 5
What can be done?
Thanks

Thanks for the tip. The player is really good looking but equalizer doesn't do anything either...
It works here... But I had to desactivate Viper to make it working... Perhaps you have something activited...
Edit: and now it works even if Viper is activited... I had the same problem when I tried the phone the first time and audio Beats was the only player with a good sound... Then I rooted the phone and installed Viper.
In blackplayer navigate to sound effects (next tab to equalizer) and enable amplifier. Let it be 0mDB. Blackplayer equalizer will work then.
