Does anyone know if it's possible to increase the number of steps in the volume slider?
I dug around the mixer_paths.xml and didn't see anything relevant.
media_profiles.xml just contains image/video settings.

I use G4 Tweaksbox to increase the number of steps available.

Most "loud speaker" mods edit the "<path name="speaker">" however it seems commented out in LG's file, and there is a different section:

Code:
    <!-- Start LGE Speaker For TAS2552 AMP -->
    <path name="speaker">
        <ctl name="Speaker Driver Playback Volume" value="9" />
    </path>
I'm pretty sure that lowering this value, would increase the sound. I set it to 24 and speaker is quiter when pressing volume up. I then set it to 5 and it was quite louder. Searching about the amp, it seems that The minimum volume level for the TAS2552 (control register value 0x00) is -7dB.

For the other values, I just changed all "RX1 Digital Volume" and "RX2 Digital Volume" to 92, instead of the 80/81/84 I found throughout the file. Just need to work on the external speaker now.
Thanks a lot.
I am back on genisys 2.2.1 (LL) from all sorts of roms because this one is snappier and has very good battery life.
My issue was that the phone was too loud, also the sound was distorted on the highest volume bar level.
On the lowest volume the sound was really really loud.
So i decided to give your ancient post an try ;)
And yes, hav set the value to from 9 to 20 and all is working as expected!

Thanks a lot

PS.: Just if anyone else have the crazy idea to jump back to LL :angel:
