I while back, on kit-kat, someone (I can't remember who, or I would give credit) made a little modification to the mixer_paths.xml, in order to use the earpiece as a tiny, but still quite useful, speaker.
Since then quite a lot has changed in that file and even though his old mod file still worked somewhat, I wanted to use the latest mixer_paths.xml, with all its fixes.
Anyway, after a little comparing and merging I managed to get it to work on sultanxda's latest rom (should work on all recent roms).
So far I didn't encounter any problems. Everything I tested worked as expected and, of course, the earpiece is now a speaker as well.
I'll attach the file if someone wants to try it.
It's not flashable, so just unzip it, replace the one in /etc, chmod to 644 and reboot.
Make a backup before, just in case.
If your phone stops working afterwards or your cat dies, it's not my fault...

You're right. I'll look into that.
Only tested speaker, which works fine.
Ok, please download the file again. I think I fixed it.
Flashable Zips
Hey armitage, your stereo mod seems to be fine so I made some flashable zips, and I also made other sound profile for users.
Feel free to add this post to OP
Tested and working; since all ROMs shouldn't have a different mixer_paths.xml file this mod will probably work on all of them. :fingers-crossed:
Since ExtremelyHigh profile has Extremely High volume

That's why I put it in quotes.
I'm well aware that, at least the way I did it, it can't be stereo.
Anyway, the guy who did this mod a while back had a stereo version, but I never used it cause the volume was way too low.
Hi, I've been traying to port a mod like that to my mi4c, but no progress. How did you managed to get it working?

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.

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.

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...
Hi guys. I had the moto g2 for like 10 days before I dropped it. Sent it for repair but the technician busted my bottom speaker. It's a long story...
Anyway I've been like this for as long as I can remember (my main issue is notification sounds, Apparently they only play in bottom speaker eaker) and I noticed that the g2 audio chip supports mono output.
Searched for ways to enable Mono audio but to no luck.
I think Samsung phones have this option under accessibility...
Do you guys have any idea how to do this?

Look at an app called SoundAbout in Play. There's a free and Pro version that offers a lot of sound options. It's worth a shot.
Hi, thanks I tried it but there's not an option for mono. Only Bluetooth headpiece mono. The other sound managers I've tried can do as much.
Winnapp has mono for music but I need to change the whole phone to mono. Or just notifications... Maybe something in the build.prop I can modify?
I have no idea :banghead:

Google this
mixer_paths.xml Moto G
should find tons of support for the 2013 moto g which should be similar. Or just read up on the mixer_paths.xml file in general. I know on my OPO that a dev was able to modify our mono output to stereo output by making use of both the loud speaker as the right channel and the ear piece for the left channel. Effectively hacking stereo to a mono device. I imagine you could find what you want by studying this file.

The lines that indicate what channel belongs to wich speaker are:

Rx1 and Rx2 are the channels. The thing is I don't know how to combine them. I've tried setting channel value to "One" and setting both RX to 1 or 2 but doesn't work...
Will keep trying any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I'm not entirely certain myself. I only know that the changes will be made there. Just remember to back your files up before editing!! Share your solution when complete please! Wouldnt be a bad idea to create a flashable zip file, in case youre a frequent flasher, then you can flash your new mixer_paths.xml from Recovery.
Hi guys, well I can't find a solution right now, my knowledge is limited but will keep looking.
I found a workaround: installed cm12.1.1 and notifications sounds are playing now. Maybe it's because of different audio paths/routing???? in cm 12.
I will compare files between stock and cm12 and tell you what I find.

Hi There, any updates on this case? i had my bottom speaker blown when replacing my cracked screen and now no notification sound and loud speaker in calls, tried to get a replacement speaker but with no luck, so maybe a modification to allow the top speaker/audio channel to handle both???
Thanks in advance..
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.

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?
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">).
<path name="speaker">
<ctl name="SLIM RX1 MUX" value="AIF1_PB" />
<ctl name="SLIM RX2 MUX" value="AIF1_PB" />
<ctl name="SLIM_0_RX Channels" value="Two" />
<ctl name="RX7 MIX1 INP1" value="RX1" />
<ctl name="RX8 MIX1 INP1" value="RX2" />

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.

Hahaha 2feet away? You're using the elmentax app as well?

Confirmed. It's working.
Which Data Manager you use to edit "Root speaker" without rooting the device?

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?
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:
