Since Z3 stock speaker loudness is too much could you try to fine tune it maybe lower max volume for 2-3% since Z3 top speaker is prone to get damaged and to start crackling more and more...
Thanks...

 

[LeParkour012]

I've been waiting for yours for quite a while now. I will test this

I used your mod on Z Ultra it was great Take in consideration (I am no expert) it seems lie top speaker is used as woofer and speaker and bottom one just speaker...

 

[sekac55]

I will try it and report
I have question if it is possible to add, and if it is useless or good imrovement ?
-32-bit audio
-ZX1 or ZX2 or Z4/Z3+ libs

Hi I just tried your sound mod on my xperia z3 1.28 lp firmware. The sound is loud now, I've noticed but I can't seem to control my music volume with phone internal speaker. Once it's at full volume it does not reduce even at zero volume step. I am able to control the volume level with an earphone connected. Can you please fix this issue or tell me what I am doing wrong.
I believe I installed your mod on an unmodified rom.
Please let me know if you want me to answer any other questions you may have..
Thank you.

Hi, I tried your mod today again with a fresh fw install 1.62,this time the volume control worked and the volume is louder in some places like earpiece calls but not much change in the music volume from internal speaker. I have used your v15 mods on my Xperia z1 earlier and I really love your sound mod. I never looked for any other mod after using yours..

Haha nice to hear, I got working the z4 files for z3 and will release an update with louder internal speaker hopefully, I saw the z4 mixerpath and the volume of internal speakers can be adjusted there, not like the z3 with tfa lines

Holy mother of sound, this mod is awesome, thanks
But to me this doesn't give a boost to youtube, poweramp and mxplayer. The rest is working fine.

 

[kanej2006]

Thank you so much for your update. I previously tried your V10 mod made for the Xperia Z Ultra. It was the best mod I've used and never went back.

I'm eagerly waiting for your update, I know it's gonna sound great. Your efforts are highly appreciated.

Waiting anxiously for u to release the latest mod for Z1.Been readings all the positive comments.Keep up the gd work.Hope u will release it soon.

 

[joonlin]

Nice mod. But I prefer not to increase the camera flash light. When I set for time for 2sec, when I look at the camera the light can kill my eyes..

 

[kanej2006]

Just a quick update with regards to the sound mod. It is better than it previously was. Sound is slightly louder and earpiece volume is VERY loud when making or receiving calls. There is a little hissing when using the earpiece as it is slightly too loud.

In the next update, you need to slightly reduce the earpiece volume due to the hissing noise when making phone calls. Even with the volume reduced to 30% the hissing is still visible.

These are very minor issues and it is not the fault of the op. Sony have changed the ways in which audio values are changed to take effect.

As dontbelieve has already said, he is working on finding a solution and has managed to find one! He is currently working on the Z4 audio files and will update them with the Z3 ones to give us the best possible sound.

It will take some time before we get the best out of the sound quality thanks to Sony making things very difficult to change.

Knowing dontbelieve, he does an excellent job with regards to enhancing, improving and increasing overall sound quality. Expect his to release several updates, each time with improvements.

With regards to his previous mods, there were a total of 15 updates, 15 being the final. Each user had a preferred setup. Some preferred version V14, other V15. The majority, including myself loved V10. It was perfect. Sound and bass was loud, clear and distortion well under control.

I will expect the same sort of work put in this very mod. Give it time to get the most out of the sound output, quality and enjoy his updates!

As dontbelieve has already mentioned, there are several other sound mods available for the Z3 & Z3 compact. However, for me as well as several others, there is little to no difference. There are many versions of the Z3 and not all sound mods work well or even at all with some models...

I have faith in dontbelieve and after having used his previous sound mod, I never went back to look for anything else. His mod was the best by far and no other mod came close.

I will use no other mod but his. I sincerely appreciate all his work hard work and support him all the way.

Thank you so much for your efforts dontbelieve. Excellent work and progress. Keep it up bro. :good:

What are you doing? Writing a testimony about dontbelieve? Relax on the post man. You could've summarised it in one paragraph.
