Low ringtone/notification volume fix?

[Oven808]

Hello, I have a regular pixel 3 and the ringtones/notifications are way too soft. I've noticed that if I'm playing a game or watching a video, the volume is great when notifications come through. Is there a way for notifications and ringtones to use the same audio channel (not sure if I'm using the right terminology here) that video and games use? I've read that it's "working as intended" per Google, and notifications and ringtones only play through the bottom speaker. Just trying to find a way to not miss so many calls when the phone is in my pocket.

Tldr: the notifications are too soft, and can it be fixed.?

Install viper4android

Install viper4android

Does that require further configuration, or will it "just work" after installation? I've read about it, and I think I need root for it, which I'm willing to do, just want to make sure I can get it working if I go the root route.

2.7.1 pretty much just works, you still need to configure it to Ur taste but it's a lot easier to install than previous versions

That's awesome, thanks for your answers. Final question - do you have viper4android installed on your pixel 3 and can confirm the audio plays out of both top and bottom speakers at a louder volume?

 

[acidspider]

Yes it does indeed

Both Speakers for Ringer?

It always played music using both speakers but will it Ring & Play Notifications using both speakers by using Viper4Android and if so how does it need set up?

If you read a couple of posts up, I asked the same question and acidspider said viper4android does utilize both speakers for notifications and ringtones and plays at a louder volume according to him/her. As to configuration, I don't know. I haven't tried it yet. I was probably gonna wait a bit and try it later. Maybe after the August updates.

I've tried every setting I could and the Pixel 3 ringers and notifications are still not loud and will not play out of the top speaker!

Someone should be able to figure this out?

It would really help if both speakers were utilized.

Both speakers are utilized, can I post a screenshot of your viper settings?

Just a screenshot of the main page and also have unconfirmed it is processing when playing music through speaker?

Viper Settings

Yes both speakers work except for ringers and notifications.

I don't see why that shouldnt work, have you the audio modification library and audio compatibility mod installed from magisk?

 

[deputylynch]

Yes they are installed. No matter what I do the ringer will not come out of the top speakers nor get loud enough.

I have the same problem. Did you found a solution?
I have also installed audio modification library and audio compatibility mod from magisk.

Maybe edit mixer_paths?

 

[greg.chalk]

ok, ringtone/notification still low volume, but after testing the viper4android IS working in general sounds. Just not for the ringtone/notification, lol!

 

[cle_m_ent]

I haved personalised ringtone and the volume war too low. Since I use the officially ringtone, this is fine for me.

No solution found!

No, I haven't found a solution and the phone is still brand new in the box since it is useless if I can't hear it ring!

I also have a 3XL and the ringers and notifications also only come out of the bottom speaker but at a higher level.

I know someone can or has already figured it out.
