Hi all,
I recently brough MI3, everything about phone was good except volume from headphones were very low,
Since many review called it as "Apple of China" i expected lot about volume,
I found a thread miui.com about volume increase,
Normally i done it by editing snd_soc_msm_2x file in my previous s4 mini and xperia sp but MI3 doesn't have it,
The file which has to be edit is "system/etc/mixer_paths_3_2_forte"
Steps:
1. Root your device
2. Download any root explorer
3. Goto to "System/etc"
4. Open "mixer_paths_3_2_forte" file
5. In that file Search for "<path name="headphones">"
6. Below that there will be two line
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="84" />
7. Change value to higher as per ur needs, i set "90"
8. Now save that file and Reboot your Phone.
Alternatively,
Copy that file "mixer_paths_3_2_forte" to pc,
Edit with Notepad++
Replace again in "system/etc" by overwriting old one
Or,
I have attached Edited file which is set to "value=90"
Just download and replace it.
You can change other values like speaker and other anc-headphone or earpiece volume also.
I really don't what other files regardless of "mixer_paths_3_2_forte" of same name do.
Enjoy.
BEFORE YOU REBOOT YOUR PHONE MAKE SURE THAT FILE HAS PROPER PERMISSION "rw-r-r", ELSE YOU WILL END UP WITH BOOTLOOP
I found this method at http://www.miui.com/thread-1836269-1-1.html.

Not works on latest firmware, Can some one post original file of it.
This works fine, been using it since I got my Mi3 around the start of the year. I also change the the hphl and hphr volume from between 35-50 and change the TI PA Gain value from between 30-50 anymore and in will sound awful. But that will increase the volume a notable amount.
Thanks for that, works OK for me!
How to increase microphone volume in calls?
No sound for I've done this mod.
I've tried to edit file manually and set the value to 90.
When I restart "no volume" and the settings > sound application is crashing.
I've tried to copy and paste your file too and same thing.
Finally I tried to restore the file "source copy & source paste" and same error occur.
Is this an encoding problem ?
I do not know how to restore the original file and I have no more sound at all on my Xiaomi .
I am using the dev rom (build number : KTU84P).

Check the permission is properly set for the file, it should be rw-r-r
I checked it already but something appear to be strange with perms on xiaomi mi3.
I see rw-r-r but when I try to edit the file it tells me that "file is read-only. Do I want to set it read/write to edit".
I reply all, set my update 84 => 90 then save and exit.
Reboot ... no sound and Settings => Sounds is crashing.
I did not try furthermore and I flashed it my MI3 with the new dev rom.
Sound back and I did not try to modify the file again.
By the way thanks for your help.
please can you write what i need to change to increase speaker soung. (ringtone, music or everything via speaker)
What should be edited in the file to increase in-call volume? TIA!
Can you increase music volume similarly ?

Also you can use ViPER4Android to do this and also change a lot of different setting to improve audio quality.
I don't if it works with call volume though.
I am using lollipop aosp rom on my Lenovo a7000 phone. I want to boost my phone volume by editing the mixer_paths.xml file. However I did not find it in my root directory/etc/ folder. I have my phone rooted and used es file explorer with the root explorer switched “On”. I also double checked in my superuser app that it has root privileges
What should I do?
It is saying the file mixer paths is read only now. I have es file explorer with root and never had a problem but with new update it seems to have does something. How can I access read only files? I'll google some more
I made this mod over 2 years ago for Moto G3 and it has been requested that I bring it over to G5 now. Enjoy!!
This mod should be compatible with the entire Moto G5 family, as usual.
Use at your own risk!
Drop the file in /vendor/etc, rename to mixer_paths.xml, and change permissions to rw-r--r--
To revert, use the stock (84) xml file provided, rename to mixer_paths.xml, set permissions rw-r--r-- and reboot
You must reboot for changes to apply. This is a TOTAL volume mod!! it will boost every volume on the device.
Default value is 84, I set it at 90. I like my music extremely loud. I do not own this device, so no further mods will be provided, aside from necessary updates for maintained compatibility. If 90 is too loud, you have a volume down button.
thanks I did it and it worked, but then I uploaded it to 100 subi for me it was still very low volume
where to download the file?
I'm trying in every way to edit the file mixer_paths.xml located in vendor -> etc to increase the volume of my phone in capsule and speakerphone (with the headset the volume at maximum is not very high but enough), but I can not get write permissions on the file, any root browser returns an error.
Can someone help me to perform the operation?

you could try from TWRP otherwise x-plore with superuser mount writable selected has always worked for me although I'm not sure if I've tried it on this phone.

TWRP nothing I've tried, but nothing. Also x-plore: I tried changing the permissions and editing the file, it says it completed the operation, but then recheck or open the file and it didn't do anything at all
