[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.

S6 Edge Plus Headphone Volume Boost & Speaker Volume Boost

I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY POSSIBLE DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE AS A RESULT OF REPLACING SYSTEM FILES.
I WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSABILITY FOR BRICKED PHONES OR LOST DATA.
So i looked everywhere to make the S6 Edge Plus sounds louder, but i could only find a louder mod for the S6 Edge, so I decided to do a small mod myself and share
If you want louder music for your headphones or a little louder for the speaker then simply unzip the attached mixer_gains.z7 and copy the mixer_gains.xml file to system/etc. and change the permissions to -rw -r -r. Restart your phone and enjoy better louder sound
REMEMBER, always back up the original mixer_gains.xml, and do a nandroid back up!
If you want the sounds lower or louder then edit the mixer_gains.xml input 1 Volume values in the media playback volume section from line 6.
Lines 26 and 27 is the headphone volume values.

I haven't tried it yet, but shouldn't it follow the "standard procedure"? Root phone, install Viper as system app, open app and adjust settings and that's it? Or is that too simple in the current stage of development, etc.?

@Dee79 so the only lines you changed are the ones below - is that correct?

<ctl name="HPOUT3R Input 1 Volume" value="39" />

[FIX] Experiencing low sound in calls ?

I am experiencing low sound in calls after latest update 4.0.3 . Any fixes available ?

Guys after looking into some threads , i got something useful . my call volume is fixed .
Download BuildProp Editor by JRummy on the Google Play Store and open it up. Tap on the “pencil” icon in the top right to bring up the manual editing mode. Scroll all the way to the bottom and add either of the build.prop lines mentioned above and set it equal to the number of volume steps you want to have. For example, entering these two commands at the end will double the number of in-call volume steps and media volume steps respectively.
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=14
ro.config.media_vol_steps=30
Once you’ve entered these commands, reboot your phone. If it worked, you should now have as many volume steps as you specified in build.prop.

Thanks for this post. I suffered from annoying low in call volume on my previous device so know how irritating it can be, especially when making calls in busy areas, like a road with heavy traffic. I've only had this device for a few days and since getting it have been away in an area where there is next to no mobile signal so I have not taken or received any calls.
Question
What you have written would seem to suggest that the prop changes would increase the number of volume steps that are applicable for each volume type, but, does does this really alter the actual maximum volume setting? if not then I can't see that this is a fix.

The code is like this
// Initialize volume
int maxVolume = SystemProperties.getInt("ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps",
MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_VOICE_CALL]);
if (maxVolume != MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_VOICE_CALL]) {
MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_VOICE_CALL] = maxVolume;
AudioSystem.DEFAULT_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_VOICE_CALL] = (maxVolume * 3) / 4;
}
maxVolume = SystemProperties.getInt("ro.config.media_vol_steps",
MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_MUSIC]);
if (maxVolume != MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_MUSIC]) {
MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_MUSIC] = maxVolume;
AudioSystem.DEFAULT_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_MUSIC] = (maxVolume * 3) / 4;
}
i think it alters the max volume but i am not sure but my low call volume is definitely fixed . I just added the lines which i mentioned above.

Testing on my Mi A1, now I have to wait to receive a call. (*Insert a Forever Alone Meme)
EDIT: It changes the number of incremental steps, but the maximum volume remains the same.

Does this fix work on latest OxygenOS betas? There was a TWRP flashable zip before but not sure if it works still.

just clean the speaker grill.

Already cleant the speaker grill. Need the volume to be boosted

Flashable zip worked on nugatt but not work in oreo since tasha mixer files are in different localization, you need to manual change values in tasha_miser_paths.xml in system/vendor/etc root folder.
I can send you my edited file.
Deleted by Moderator.

magisk module named "low in call volume fix oneplus 3/3t for RR" not sure if the name is exactly the same but just type "low in" and the module should show up. Tho its for RR i use it on beta 25 and the issue is fixed ! :good:

Increasing the volume steps in root\System\build.prop didn't change the output volume for me.
I solve this issue by modifying a single parameter in "root"\system\vendor\etc\mixer_paths_mtp.xml
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/how-to-modify-ear-speaker-volume-mi-a1-t3779866)
Best regards.

Fixed it by editing the RX0-RX8 Digital Volume values from 84 to 94 in mixer_paths_tasha.xml file found in /vendor/etc folder and it works! Now I keep the call volume 1-2 levels lower than full. Tried it on OxygenOS beta 24. Thanks for the help everyone.

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

[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.
