Hi.
This is my first post
I have a rooted Sony XZ1 Compact. and want to increase the headphone volume.
On my old Xperia Z3 compact i could increase the volume by changing values in the root/system/etc/mixer_paths.xml document, namely the values of "RX1" and "RX2"
However, on the new XZ1 Compact there is no document in this folder, bute there is a mixer-paths.xml in root/vendor/etc/mixer_paths.xml but changing the values for RX1, RX2 and changing the values for HPHL or HPHR have no effect on the volume at all.
Does anybody have sucessfully increased their Headphone Volumes by changing the document? Does it not work because it is in the root/vendor/etc/mixer_paths.xml location (different from my old phone)? Do I have to change something else?
Maybe someone could upload a modded xml file?
Thank you very much

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.

i use 920 text editor. make sure you go into settings and enable "try to run as root" so that it can save.

thanks. worked like a champ
Thanks 100 times. Now I can really take advantage of my Monster Beats with my Android device. Turn up.
And for earpiece volume?!what lines i will modify?!
Can anyone help increase the volume of my z3c using mixer paths, the other mixerpaths.xml floating around on the cross device development board doesnt work with the z3c, i lose all sound.
I have edited the mixerpaths myself, but i find that the only volume that increase are the dialing tones and system sounds, NOT any music or youtube videos.
i need the extra volume for podcasts when im in the bath
How do I boost the volume of any E1? (Not just the speakers, but pretty much anything that is connected with E1)
(Sound boosting apps from Google Play does not work, is there any way to boost with just editing Android's files?)
edit mixer_paths.xml maybe
Hi. I am editing the file mixer_gains.xml to increase the sound of the speaker and there is no way to increase or decrease the sound, the same sound level always comes out. It does not work editing the file.
Any other secret file to increase or decrease the sound level?
It should work, Check you have the correct access so the file is saved.
Which exact values are you changing?

- Any chance you could throw me a quick rundown of what you're doing?
I'm used to having HW control thru EX kernel & Manager.....but the dev's stopped supporting LOS/AOSP roms for cheeseburger on pie....
In the past you could modify mixer_paths.xml to increase max volume but I don't see that file anywhere on Android 10. Anyone have any suggestions
EDIT: I found the mixer paths file but don't see any values to modify to increase volume.
