Being used to the extremely loud headphone volume of AIWA walkmen from the 1990s, my Android volume was always a bit too low for my ears.<\/p>\n
I tried to play around with CMs included „DSP Manager“ but it never worked as I expected and I disliked to need an additional app to increase volume on my device.<\/p>\n
In Cyanogenmod headphone volumes are configured in \/system\/etc\/snd_soc_msm\/snd_soc_msm_2x<\/strong> Just edit this file and search for the stanzas called „Headphones“ and „PROXY Rx Headphones“<\/p>\n Inside of those you will find „RX# Digital Volume“ with a percentage value.<\/p>\n Mine were set to 69.4%.
