Volume Boost Mod

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
PIC
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.

Volume boost S6(SM-g920f)
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.

Ty so much mate!

I have added media volume boost to Bluetooth. I don't have a device to test it at the moment. Please try it and let me know if it worked.
Code:
<path name="gain-media-speaker-bt-sco-headset">
<ctl name="DSP5L Input 1 Volume" value="40" />
<ctl name="DSP5L Input 2 Volume" value="40" />
<ctl name="AIF4TX1 Input 1 Volume" value="40" />

<ctl name="AIF3TX1 Input 1 Volume" value="40" />
<ctl name="AIF3TX2 Input 1 Volume" value="40" />
</path>

Thank you so much! I will try it in few hours and I will comment
Thanks!

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.

Try with this.I made it by myself. Be careful with the volume level. I use viper 4 android to set the eq in a level that don't produce distortion or harm the speaker.

Sorry. I forgot to mention.place the file on System/etc. Make a back-up before replace.and rename the older mixer paths file extension in case something goes wrong.

Method
-Use any root explorer and go to
system/ etc/ mixer_paths.xml and edit.
-search for <path name="speaker"> then edit <ctl name=RX7 Digital Volume" value = "83" />
change 83 to 89 or any digit below 93 (just to be on the safer side)
-tha same way for headseat
-search:
<path name="headphones">
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="82" /> (max 93)
<!--66 % of 124 (rounded) register: 0x2BF-->
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="82" /> (max 93)
and this:
<path name="speaker-and-headphones">
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="64" /> (max 93)
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="64" /> (max 93)
In my case works well with the value of 100, any value above maximum recommended is at your own risk.

Try this, it was made by me. Just have to remplace the file with the one on the tread and it gives more volume on headphones and speaker. Hope it helps.

[Q] Increase Headphone Volume

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.

(How To / MOD) Microphone Gain Increase on All S5 Variants + Mod *Update 02/11/16

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.

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:

Galaxy S5 low audio notes FIX (Cyanogenmod 13/14) Step by step.

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 :
<!-- Recording Scenario -->

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.

Hi, i don't really know because i'm not a developer. But try increasing the values you've there, first make a backup of that code, and then try.

thanks dude, It worked perfectly, i ****ing love u

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to specifically increase the earbuds in call volume? Thank you

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.
Thanks

Try applying the fix in this thread,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/mic-volume-gain-mod-s5-t3491483
I used the MICGAIN26normal and it corrected the problem.

Thx for help, it didn't work too, Like nothing change at all, unless I can't transfer files now and everytime get media error, not blaming you, just saying what happening now.
"android.process.media stopped" all the time
I think I have to live with this **** mic, my partner can't hear me even if I use mic on headphones....

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
