[Q] Volume Increase VIA Mixer Paths

was looking around mixer_paths.xml and i see it has changed from what i'm used to with the lg g2. i dont see a section that specifically has "headphones". i'm trying to increase the headphone volume. does anyone know which area of the mixer_paths needs to be changed to increase volume? i tried increasing "speaker and headphones" rx7 (because that's what was used to increase volume on the g2) but after a reboot i dont notice any increase. any help would be appreciated.

i figured it out. use a text editor that has root and navigate to system/etc. open up mixer_paths.xml. scroll down to the section "play scenario". in that section you'll see "path name="headset". in headset section you'll see rx1 and rx2 digital volume. change the values to what you want up to 100. i have mine at 88. at 88 i can keep the volume around 60% and it is loud with no distortion. so now i dont have to max out the DAC in the phone to get high volume.
if you want to do the speaker do the same steps above for the section "path name="speaker"" and change the rx7 digital volume value.
hope this helps others.

It will enable both speakers for Notification and Ringtone sounds

The system file in 4.4.4_167 firmware is different from older released firmwares so do not try those sound mods that are based on older firmwares

Even with two speakers active ringtones are lower in volume than in .314.Any additional fixes possible to increase the volume ?
People like me who carry Z2 in leather pouch in their pocket will have many missed calls in future

I am working on Loud volume it will be released soon.....
I enable X-loud in 4.4.4-167 firmware but when we turn On/Off it is not taking the effect
The Sound levels are same even with X-Loud on. And Song Quality is noisy. May be that's why Sony Disable X-Loud in this release

i flashed it.
no problem
thank you.

Working on ....
1- X-Loud
2- Clear Phase
3- Clear stereo
4- DSP Manager
5- Louder Speaker
For Xperia Z2 based on 4.4.4-167 will be released soon

V1 or v2?
Gửi từ D6503 của tôi bằng cách sử dụng Tapatalk

So...if I want just to enable both speakers for notif and call sounds, without xloud I should use v1?

Versiion 2 works perfekt....
THX!

zohaib0001 said:
Errors in v2.0
1- Audio settings (X-Loud, Clear Phase, Clear stereo, Dynamic normaliser ) Auto off after reboot the device.
So you have to enable them again after every reboot

Hope you can find a solution on that soon, ty

@zohaib0001 Please add this to OP
To make xLoud stick every reboot you just need to go to system/vendor/etc and delete effect_init_params and reboot your phone. Xloud and clear phase will not be deactivated anymore

Rename or Deleting system/vendor/etc" this file "effect_init_params"
All saved.....

@dyepnoodle
Thanks for the Solution
i Fixed it and updated v2.0 link available

Even with the new V2 installed, its still quite quiet. The sound is so much louder in the sound picker for Hangouts and WhatsApp.

So, does this thing actually work? Sound problems are gone finally?

I'd say no, but I haven't tried headphones or anything else. I just want notifications louder!

i agree with you, the notification sounds are still so quiet even after installing v2 fix..
i reflashed new full ftf and checked too, still the same problem exist,
notification sound low issue is still there. facebook messenger, whatsapp, viber sounds are damn horrible, too too low.

V3 notification sounds & ringtones loud enough :thumbup::thumbup:

Let’s face it. Even at max volume, sometimes the speaker on your phone just isn’t loud enough (Yes, I’m looking at you Nexus 5). *However, you*could digitally raise the maximum volume that the speaker allows itself to go to. This will require a rooted android device and could run the risk of damaging your speakers if you go too high, so be warned.
What You will Need:
A rooted Android DeviceES File Explorer
Step 1: Mounting the System
Open up ES file explorer and enable the root explorer. *Then tap on the root explorer tab and a menu will pop up. *Select the Mount R/W tab and mount both*system and /*as*r/w.
[http://www]*[http://www]*[http://www]
Step 2: Locating the mixer_paths.xml
Now, navigate to*/System/etc*and open up the*mixer_paths.xml*with ES note editor. *Before you start making changes, go up into the settings and select*edit*on the file.
[http://www]
Step 3: Changing the Speaker Volume
To change the speaker volume, look for the line*RX7 Digital Volume*under the*Path name= Speaker*and change the value to whatever you desire. *(Going over 95 has the potential of blowing your speaker though).
[http://www]
Step 4: Changing the Headphone Volume
To change the headphone volume, *look for the lines:
<ctl name=”HPHL Volume” /
<ctl name=”HPHR Volume” />
Change the values to 20. *Don’t go beyond 20. *You can also change the RX1 and RX2 values to something like 85, once again, don’t go beyond 95.
[http://www]
Afterwards,*reboot*and you should notice an increase in volume. *Feel free to play around with the other volume settings found in the mixer_paths.xml, just make sure you have a backup and not to blow out your speaker! Android Boost speaker volume success!

Is there a method to decrease the minimum volume of media speaker?

Hi. I have 3T With Oxygen 5.0.1 and when volume is on lowest position, notifications and ringtones are still sounds too loud. Is there a chance to decrease minimum volume level? I have root, stock kernel

You can get an Xposed module to increase the volume steps, or edit the build.prop, so that you don't have as big a jump between a decent volume and too loud or too soft. Otherwise I hope someone can answer this.

What parameter in build.prop?

I would get a custom kernel and decrease volume with the app like Kernel Adiutor

Add ro.config.media_vol_step=30 or whatever number you want.

This prop is going to change media volume steps and not the ringtone/notification one, which is OP asking about

[GUIDE] headphone volume boost / increase / fix (both ROOT/noroot)

Hi,
-ROOT
if you have root
1. Install QUICKEDIT (free from play store)
2. Open file: /vendor/etc/mixer_paths.xml
3. Search for HPHL/HPHR values (first screenshot) and change the value to 20
4. Search for RX1 digital volume (and RX2... Like on attached screenshots) and change values to 86-88. Dont change values any higher for safety reasons
5. SAVE file, exit Quickedit
6. REBOOT
7. enjoy!
SEE https://youtu.be/0sCYcAbUn4M
Tested on redmi note 7 miui 11, android 10/ aosp roms also
-NOROOT
1. Open settings on phone
2. Set "Japan" in region settings
3. DONE! open any music player and enjoy
No root or app or restart needed.
Tested on redmi note 7, eu version, miui 10

No, this values only changes volume gain via 3,5 jack for headphones. So this will not work for Bluetooth /speaker (internal or external).
If you connect phone via line-in cable to car/speaker aux input, volume will be boosted

Thanks
thanks this solution

Why is Japan louder by default?
Maybe so that the shutter sound will still be heard through the headphones?

Thanks Japan.

I got root on my stock rom MIUI 12.02. I changed the values as recommended (even raised RX1 and 2 to 94) but there is no difference. Still too low volume.

How i can only boost earpiece in-call volume manual with edit vendor/etc/mixer_paths.xml, what i need to do ?
On lineage os 17.1 in-call volume is very low.
