[Fix]Nexus 4 handset mic issue[Finally]

Well got my nexus 4 a month back and i found that I have a famous inaudible mic issue which is people on the other side can only be able to hear u if u place your mouth so close(almost in contact) to the handset mic and speak when I Google about this issue I found that so many users got replaced with a new nexus 4.
So I thought of sending for replacement but when I tried replacing with a new mic the problem persists so It confirms that its a software issue regarding the noise cancellation stuff or may be a hardware fault regarding the noise cancellation feature.
I digged into the issue so deep and found the culprit which is the mixerpaths.XML file located in system/etc.
I played with the file with many values and at last I found this fix.
Instructions
Use a root based file explorer
Open system/etc/mixer path.XML
Find this line
ctl name="DEC7 Volume" value=84
Change the value to 111
Reboot
Done
Google has to ashamed of this although not so many will have this issue I just posted it to show people google's mistake.

Rooted, Modified the file, No use. Switched to CM 11, modified the file - Still same issue
The same bloody mic/earpiece are working perfect on other apps such as Viber, WhatsApp, Skype and even recording - precisely everything but the call.

Yes mate. I had cross checked, the file had modified. I actually did this before moving to CM 11 but then i changed the entire ROM thinking that if the issue is related to software, that might fix things up but even after moving to CM 11 the issue was as it is.

After changing it to 122 following happens.
There's a static sound for few seconds and then dead silence. The only thing new is the deadly static sound and nothing else.

I had problem with the mic on my nexus and i decided to try your method. Changed it to "111" and it seems to be fixed. But after changing the value from 84 to 111 I noticed a strange noise in phone's speaker. It appeared after the change of values...

(Guide)(How To) (Lollipop Volume Increase All Varient's)

What's up everybody. This time I bring you a simple mod to increase the volume's on lollipop. What we're going to do is make some edit's in the mixer_paths.xml located in system/etc. Open in Notepad++ or editor of your choice and search for <path name="handset"> . See below for area's to edit,be careful and adjust slowly. Set permissions to 644 or rw-r-r.
Lollipop Guide: Location =system/etc
Only increase levels by a maximum of +10 to avoid speaker damage. On HPHL & HPHR raise levels slowly to avoid damage or distortion.

Fixed lollipop guide and added kitkat,.... Please post your xml when finished so we can share them with everyone. You can also post your stock and I'll update it and post it.Thanks.....

Thank you for this post! I have been looking for a while for a way to enhance the quality of my Bluetooth Headphones (Noise Cancelling Philips SHB8850NC). At the beginning I tried to install Viper4Android on my Samsung S5, but I was not able to make it work because I have the Android Lollipop 5.0 with Knox installed. So the only solution was to manually increase all the gains of the mixer_paths.xml file as described here, and now I can enjoy the best Bluetooth Experience! The bass is now pretty deep with the built-in Samsung player (bass equalizer).

Call mic gain in mixer_paths.xml
I read with great interest "How to increase volume in Lollipop Samsung S5". In my S5 the sensitivity of the call microphone is low: I need to speak with very loud voice.
I have not found in the Italian Forums a way to boost the sensitivity. I would appreciate if you could explain to me what I must variations in file mixer_paths.xml to achieve the required purpose.
I would ask you to be very clear how my experience is limited. If a slight increase in sharp ones the possibility exist too. My S5 SM-G900FD is rooted. Thank you.

Does this work with the exynos version?
I am asking because I use an S5 neo but the mixer_path.xml content is different from this one.

Does this work with g900f?

Stereo Sound MOD for G5 [root]

This file enables earpiece speaker to have stereo sound. And overall it sounds a lot better than original configuration.
Tested only with H850 and H830, do it at your own risk!
You'll need some file manager, I'm using Total Commander in this example. First, go to /system/etc and backup your mixer_paths_tasha.xml file, (it will ask to give root permissions to do that), then delete it.
Paste new file into system/etc and change permissions to 644
Reboot and enjoy stereo!
Download V1.1 for stock
mixer_paths.xml v1.1 for CM 13 -credtis to @nima0003
mixer_paths.xml v1.1 for CM 14.1 -credtis to @nima0003
CM14.1 instructions by @nima0003:
1. Remove mixer_paths_tasha.xml from the etc folder
2. Paste the mixer_paths.xml file (don't worry about the name)
3. Set permissions
4. Reboot
Revert back
If you want to test out with different G5 version, download this file and do the same steps (you may need to rename the file to match your mixer_paths file name) and report if it does work on your model.

Man this is awesome . Works perfectly on my H850.

OK, in order to make it work with CM 13 I had to modify a few things, otherwise it would give no audio. Do you want to post it in the OP or do you want me to make a new thread?

Works perfectly thanks a lot makes it sound a lot better biggest question is lets hope it cannot cause no damage to the earpiece speaker
Great work

So awesome, thank you very much hope this will be incorporated in to muistones patch and the other roms

works perfect with AICP ??
gesendet von meinem LG G5 H850 AICP11.0

Thanks it work perfectly

Just gave it a quick test yesterday. Seems to work very well! Usually use headphones most of the time though and just restored my backup. Just a quick heads up incase it happens to anyone else. After I restored the file I couldn't play videos at all. Kept getting errors in youtube and netflix and such. Needed to change the permissions of the file after restore aswell. Working fine now

amazing sound is like a HTC10 now,I wait this for a time,but now is perfect!

Works great! :laugh:

if any interested, here the patch what all modified (CM13 only)

How to increase in-call volume?

I'm using the latest OOS 7.1.1, rooted and with TWRP
just noticed the in-call volume is quite low and hard to hear other people. any way to increase this?
speaker volume is okay, no issues there

if you're willing to flash elementalx, there's a mic volume adjustment (which actually boosts the in call volume) that you can use. Set that to max on accident one time and can hear the person speaking 2 feet away from ear speaker on min volume.

edit root/system/etc/mixer_paths.xml and change the value (default is 84). 95 is the new high value (look for <path name="speaker">).

Well, I love you.
Was looking arround. Even replaced the OEM earpiece for a new one cause I thought it was broken and it was only changing those values. Can't thank you enough.

How can I use this please? How can I apply?

Mic Problem Low Recording Volume

I just own Mi a2, bought it second hand from other people.
Atm i'm using Pixel Experience ROM.
My proboek is about Low Recording Volume.
I tried to record my voice via whatsapp audio recording and 3rd party app recording, but the result is a low volume voice recorded.
I was using stock ROM with magisk installed and Quickswitch module installed. I noticed low volume recording sound so i thought it was because the rom and then i flashed PE, but the problem still remain.
The funny thing is, if i record a video through stock camera app or through instagram story, the sound does recorded properly, not low voice volume.
Anyone know how to fix this? Do Mi A2 have two mic, since video recording can record voice good, but calling or recording the volume is too low? Thank you for your answer.

For me its hardware related. I take it to service center and they clean the mic, the problem solved.

I don't think mine is hardware related. It doesn't happen when i use Easy Voice Recorder app, it happens when I use stock camera app to record.

i have same issue, anyone has fix for this?

Introducion
Same problem here: Mi A2 on Pixel Experience, but I had problems also with the stock version.
Since I've got the root and I remember that with my Nexus 5 (old good times) I had the possibility to change gain in kernel settings. Here, I cannot.
Then I remembered that I also heard about mixer_paths.xml file, that if changed, can change the gain of speakers and microphone. Since I'm not able to identify what parameter should I change/increase, I went to Google and searched for some infos. Unfortunately, every device has "its own" mixer_paths.xml, and it changes.
I found for example a guide for Nexus 4 here and something with Samsung S5 here.
How to
Important:
Before ANY modification, keep TWO copies of your mixer_paths.xml original file. Two because I was stupid and I lost my first one, and the second was already broken ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm not responsible for any loss and damage, nor hardware nor software related.
Remember to save the mixer_paths.xml file with EXACT SAME PERMISSIONS as it has before modification. Since, again, I'm stupid, it has the 0777 permission (all checked in FX File Explorer)
Tested only on Pixel Experience QQ1B.200105.004 on Mi A2, 64+4GB
Experimenting here and there, I found that increasing some values effectively changes my gain, but I'm not sure why and what precisely. Gain works great on IM, like Telegram, but I'm still not great (but better) on camera videos.

I attached also my current mixer_paths_8.xml - just rename it and remove that "_8" if you want to use it as-is.

My voice recordings were very bad when player back in the recorder app. The problem solved by this method:
• in the Recorder app, go to settings (the gear/wheel).
• disable "use receiver to play audio"
• done.

I just formatted my phone and switched from CRDroid to Lineage OS. The mixer_paths.xml file is somehow different, but I manage to fix it out.
To fix low microphone on Mi A2 on CRDroid just use my comment above.
To fix low microphone on Mi A2 on Lineage OS 18.1 find same values and change them, but lines will be different:
