Used SoundboostforsensationICS on Sensation XE Stock Europe 3.33 ICS with a custom kernal, and it works. It's about a 10-20% increase in sound volume from the speaker. I'd really like just a little more, maybe another 10%, however it is still a huge improvement. I can actually hear the sound from games now.
Newbie - sorry installation
So I downloaded and unzipped the files but can't figure out where to put them or what to do with them to get the volume enhancement. Any help is greatly appreciated.

its the same directory as where the files located in the zip... just find those same folder in your phone. just make a back up of the original files in your phone and make note of the permission setting of those original files. You'll need to set the permission of the modded files the same as the original.

I know this thread is old, but it has just helped me tremendously.
Thanks to Mudhi for this.
On low impedance headphones and earbuds you tend to have an audible hiss when playing back music. Usually this is most noticeable at the start and end of track, and how the end of a track leads into the next track. Its been bugging me like crazy. I'm using a pair of Etymotic HF2 earbuds.
I decided to revisit this thread and start playing with the MODE_PLAYBACK_HEADSET values. The original value is 55 as seen here:
2,1,0x00,0x8C,0x20,0x57,0xCD,0x55,0x0D,#TPA2051_MODE_PLAYBACK_HEADSET
I decided to play around with this and put in a value of 40. I rebooted my device and started up some music. No hiss, but no music at all. At any volume.
After playing with a bunch of steps and reboots I finally settled on 48. So now that line reads:
2,1,0x00,0x8C,0x20,0x57,0xCD,0x48,0x0D,#TPA2051_MODE_PLAYBACK_HEADSET
What I get now is crystal clear music playback with no audible hiss coming from the Sensations's audio jack on my HF2 earbuds.
I hope this can be of help to others who are on low impedance phones and are looking to remove this hiss.

so I just flash thru cwm or do I put files manually in the system folder and meta too? and how can i revert back to stock values if something happens?
Make a backup , Flash via recovery, same as flashing a ROM, If you don't like it, restore backup

Nevermind. CM10 / JB contains the same TPA2051 CSV files. They are only missing the entries for Beats. I backed them up and then edited them manually as instructed in the first post. Works like a charm!
w00t!! :good::good:
So can we flash the one in the post? Just the sensation one?

I don't know. I edited manually cuz those contained beats entries. Maybe the system will ignore them or maybe you'll have problems. Make a nand and try it. Either way, you should always make a backup before messing with system files.
Im backing rebar71 on his statement. It does work. Im having it in Frankinstine's AOKP at the moment even the ICS Milestone 6. Just like he said you have to put the files in manually and you have to set the permission also. You can do this with any root explorer. dont copy the beats csv file though. Just the two files; TPA2051_CFG and TPA2051_CFG_XC. The files should be in /system/etc folder.
this is how the permission should look like:
Just a tip:
when you see the volume UI is full, press the volume up more cuz it will be louder. It shows full but you still have room for more sound because of this MOD
