Hi,

I know there has been some good working in applying a fix to he newer S4's to increase the volume.

I'm interested in the headphone increase for listening to music as I'm partial deaf and wondered if anyone has managed to amend the code below. Looking at the original thread its not the same value's

Thanks

Code:
SectionDevice
	Name "Headset"
	Comment "Headset Tx device"

	EnableSequence
		'SLIM_0_TX Channels':0: One
		'SLIM TX7 MUX':0:DEC8
		'DEC8 MUX':0:ADC2
		'ADC2 Volume':1:100
		'IIR1 INP1 Volume':1:62
		'IIR1 INP1 MUX':0:DEC8
	EndSequence

I'm guessing you need to change the following:

Code:
SectionDevice
        Name "Headset"
        Comment "Headset Rx device"

        EnableSequence
                'PRI_RX Channels':0:Two
                'SLIM RX1 MUX':0:AIF1_PB
                'SLIM RX2 MUX':0:AIF1_PB
                'RX1 MIX1 INP1':0:RX1
                'RX2 MIX1 INP1':0:RX2
                'HPHL DAC Switch':1:1
                'HPHR DAC Switch':1:1
                'HPHL Volume':1:100%
                'HPHR Volume':1:100%
                'RX1 Digital Volume':2:62.9%
                'RX2 Digital Volume':2:62.9%
                'COMP1 Switch':1:1
        EndSequence

        DisableSequence
                'RX1 MIX1 INP1':0:ZERO
                'RX2 MIX1 INP1':0:ZERO

That's the wrong file to amend.

You need to amend this file: snd_soc_msm_2x

I think the original was 67.7% or something....i just changed the headset to 70%....I also changed the speaker etc etc......everything is now louder......good luck.

i think increase volume can be made by copyied the s4 files in s4 mini
i think is working because the 2 models use the same chip, Hexagon QDSP6, an the same language of comunication
:D
who try?

Does this mod only affect headphone and earspeaker volume? I am also looking for a volume increase for the loudspeaker.

No, you have to extract it then copy the file (using root explorer) to Sysytem/etc/snd_soc_msm then agree to replacement. Don't forget to hit r/w button on the top and turn it to r/o.

Thanks for the info :good: I have always been nervous about messing with scripts. Guess its time to do a nandroid and man up, lol.

that was the reason I tried this at first place, unfortunately it doesn't. speaker and headset, on the other hand, will be louder but at the expense of quality.

    sooooo.. after hours of testing I decided to write my experience in order to help somebody....maybe. In this post you can find all the usefull info in order to incerase the volume but.....the modded file from stalli0nUK...isn´t modded. I compared it with my original and.... no difference. Here the STEPS:

    -Your phone must be rooted or else you are fooled by programs like TotalCommander that the original file has been rewritten..it isn´t so.
    after root, supersu made problems, couldn´t update, the sollution was to install UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip from Chainfire via CWM and then the supersu from market.
    -backup the original etc/snd_soc_msm/snd_soc_msm_2x file
    -edit this one yourself for what you need attached you will find mine, it is modded only for earphones with the default level of 62.9% rised to 70%, it works perfect, loud clear and powerfull without any distortion. (remember that this is a 95dB limit or so introduced by the EU in order to protect your hearing and it is not the hardware limit of the internal amp of your device) here the lines that I eddited:

    SectionDevice
    Name "Headset"
    Comment "Headset Rx device"

    EnableSequence
    'PRI_RX Channels':0:Two
    'SLIM RX1 MUX':0:AIF1_PB
    'SLIM RX2 MUX':0:AIF1_PB
    'RX1 MIX1 INP1':0:RX1
    'RX2 MIX1 INP1':0:RX2
    'HPHL DAC Switch':1:1
    'HPHR DAC Switch':1:1
    'HPHL Volume':1:100%
    'HPHR Volume':1:100%
    'RX1 Digital Volume':2:62.9%
    'RX2 Digital Volume':2:62.9%
    'COMP1 Switch':1:1
    EndSequence

    -owerwrite the original file with the modded one. I used root explorer for that.
    -reboot your device and enjoy :cyclops:

    Thank you for your works!
    Can you tell me if and how it's possible to increase the ringtones and notifications volume?

    yes, just edit the line "'RX4 Digital Volume':1:68%"
    in
    "SectionDevice
    Name "Speaker"
    Comment "Speaker Rx device"
