When i plug the aux cable from my phone into my car it recognizes it as headphones and severely dampens the audio. I turn the volume up all the way on my phone and my sterio and i still can berely hear it. Anyone else having this problem?

I had a similar issue that I resolved by Rooting the phone, installing ViPER4Android, then increasing output gain on "headset" option. Booming now!

If you're rooted, you can modify the /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml file to increase the headphone output. I did this to my Stylo today, and my earbuds have a noticeable, but not too high increase in volume without distortion.
This assumes you are rooted and have a proper nandroid backup. If you do not know what that is, please don't do this until you do. I am not responsible for device damage.
That said:
Use an app like ES File Explorer to navigate to the /system/etc/ directory. Locate the mixer_paths. xml file. Using a text editor capable of saving the file locate the following 2 lines in the file:
<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="8" />
<ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="8" />
and change both values from "8" to "10" ("11" if you're feeling risky). Save the file, then reboot. Since your stereo is making the Stylo think it's a pair of headphones, it will have more volume headroom.
It's editing two lines in a text file. If you mess that up, perhaps you shouldn't be editing system files. Hence the need for a proper nandroid backup.
The real "danger" is getting over zealous with the values and sending to out too much power, possibly damaging your earbuds or head phones, or other equipment. I set mine to 11, and along with additional sound processing (BBE) my Skull Candy's and Sony's rock.
{All about that bass, no treble!}
Touche. Sometimes I forget that different variations have limitations as I am on the MetroPCS version. At the very least, keeping a backup of the original file could be useful.
Did you ever get your sound back 6th_Hokage?
I edited the file and it's slightly louder, what do you think is the max I can put?
Have you tried Viper4Android:

I've tried it before on my LG L70 but it did nothing.
That zip will not work. The zip unpacks the boot.img and that tool doesn't support images with device tree images and it also flashes to a partition that doesn't exist.on Lollipop you have to make the kernel permissive for it to work so just flash this in the recovery it worked for my S3 on lollipop

S3 does not have a device tree binary (dtb), not talking about source code, and it was made for the s3 the script unpacks boot.img set it permissive and flashes it to boot partition I'm not sure when Qualcomm moved from the old msm symlink to bootdevice, but the s3 uses the older by-name/boot symlink . Of course the zip would work on other chip set that use that symlink 8226, 8960, 8974 , etc but not 8994 , 8992, 8916, 8939.hmmm...t worked on my S3 tho on team octos rom....which has a device tree...

All right guys I have been playing aroud with this vol issues... So far this its what i got. Vol+ loud enough for my tastes, and other ppl... I made sure i tested on to see if it was any issues with distortion, echoing...etc... So far. All good... (ringtone, notification, voicemail, cam= recording)
** Now I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE NEITHER A.F COMMUNITY FOR ANY DAMAGE OF YOUR DEVICE ***
1* download file to external-sd ...extract here
2* copy n paste into system/etc in your root manager.
3* rename stock mixer.path.xml with (.old) " e.g = mixer_paths.xml.old"
4* rename the mixer.paths.xml.tweaked by removing (tweaked)
5* SET PERMISSIONS TO "RW-R-R" (644)
6* reboot into recovery "WIPE-CACHE" Only" reboot system

Good ... Please test with AUX cable to any outer speaker... Im gonna keep playing around to find right values for all hardwares ( bluthooth, aux, headsets, vc-Vol, mic, sub-mic-headset, 2nd.mic) ***involving rec-mic (Cam-Vid)Thank you. I definitely hear a difference in loudness. I always test my loudest Young Jeezy song, lol. But I'm home and everything is loud when you're home so I'll give it a test tomorrow on my way to work.

I got some volumes good but blutooth was giving me bad feedback cam.record too much distortion... Plus sub.mic stoped working so whent back to -0- (last tweaked). I'll keep y@ll on the loop.
