Bad Audio Quality & Battery problems - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Hey, I'm using Xiaomi Mi 8 Global Stable Miui 10.0.2.0
I have Xiaomi Hybird Pro HD earphones (they are hi-fi). But I am having really bad sound quality. I can confirm that my earphones are okay cuz I tested it on my old phone. I tried all settings inside of Mi Sound Enhancer but it is getting worse and worse. How can I fix this? I have waranty so I dont want to root my device. I cant unlock my bootloader for sound drivers. .

Xiaomi Noise Cancellation Earphones with custom Rom

Hi,
i read alot about the new Xiaomi Noise Cancellation In-ear Earphones Type-C. So far they look like compatible with my Mi5. To be honest i just played a little bit around with the MIUI Firmware on my Smartphone. After 72h lock was gone, i unlocked the bootloader instantly and flashed AICP.
Does anybody know if the ANC function is working with a custom Rom (e.g. LineageOS)? As far is a know the sound processing for the ANC is done by the phone. Is there a special "App" on MIUI to use these headphones properly or is LineageOS fully compatible?
Thanks in advance

Audio hissing at low volumes

I’ve been using AOSP ROMs pretty much the whole time I’ve had this phone so I can’t remember how audio quality was on global stable.
About 2 months ago I got sick of audio static at low volumes, so I switched to xiaomi.eu. The problem remained, so I thought I’d wait for MIUI 10 but the problem is still there on the latest beta build.
I tried a bunch of fixes from XDA but none of them worked, so I’ve just been putting up with it. Apparently China MIUI has superior audio to Global, but I loaded the config file from the China ROM which didn’t work. And doesn’t xiaomi.eu use the China ROM anyway?
A bunch of old reviews say that the Mi 5 has crystal clear audio, so I really want to figure it out. I have tested it with a bunch of headphones and the issue is always there -- even using FLAC audio files.
Has anybody else had this problem and managed to fix it?
Edit: I should add, this is only through the 3.5mm headphone jack. The speaker sounds fine.
Using non MIUI roms I've found out that static/background noise is lower after turning every "audio improvement" off.
Other than that really can't help...

Yeah I noticed that too. But still, I couldn't never get it to sound very clear. Thanks for that though.

Headphones volume is extremely low

I have a big problem with the Mi A2 - it's really quiet using headphones (through the stock adapter). It's not headphones problem. Now, the question is, is that because of the software or maybe because of the crappy adapter? I need the people from EU country to speak here because maybe it us because of the stupid EU law.
Noticed this too. You get a slight improvement with viperfx and master gain /xloud , but that's all I found out.
Now, even if I am a pretty solid fan of Jack + high end headphones, we are in 2018, moving to BT headphones with Bt 5.0 is the way to go. On this matter. Having aptx advertised and not able to use it without build.prop tweak is a more serious matter IMHO ??
Still Loving my mia2 everyday more tho. This thing is getting faster everyday and having the governor set to ondemand + touch boost disabled make it fast as hell and crazy battery performance (getting solid 5-6 hours SOT)

Same problem.... headphones were pretty loud on my old Mi4... now its really low. :/
What do you mean with "touch list disabled"?
Thanks!

I love my Mi A2 too but I swear I can't listen to the music because the volume is so damn low. While you are rooted, could you send this file - system/etc/mixer_paths_tasha.xml and this system/etc/mixer_paths.xml? I am sure low volume can be fixed by editing these files.
They can be stored in this place too - vendor/etc

Where is this option?
Solution?
This problem is something I struggle with too. Might it be the usb type c adapter to aux which is the problem? Can anyone try with a different adapter and report back? I am using Xiaomi mi in ear pro headphones. I need to use max volume to have a volume which I consider medium.

I have Xiaomi Pro too (HD). Sound is so low... I have bought xDuoo X3 II and will use it as a Bluetooth receiver.
Mi A2 Bluetooth Audio volume low too?

I just got my Mi A2 and the audio volume seems very low when Bluetooth paired to my cars stereo. Maybe halve the volume of my old LG phone. Very weird since the audio volume thru the Mi A2's built-in speaker is VERY loud.
Stock dongle's output is slow. Get some other 3rd party and sound will get louder. I have bought and its sound is quite louder than stock's one.

I just got google's newest dongle, it is good. The volume, while not overwhelming, is certainly loud enough with music. Dynamic Range seems quite improved also. I figured for 12 bucks, not much to lose. But turned out improvement for sure.
Mi A2 audio quality
I am currently using the stock dongle and mi piston fresh earphone on my Mi A2 for music. The audio quality is really poor. There's noise and audio is muddy. Is anyone experiencing this and is there a way to improve the audio quality?
I used the headphones of the leeco le Max 2 type c and it sounds wonderful ... but when using the adapter for my headphones Xiaomi sounds very slowly

This doesn't help at all. You'll still end up being stuck with SBC or AAC codec.
I recently converted my phone to Mi 6x and flashed AospExtended v5.8 Rom. Now LDAC is working perfectly with my sony wh1000xm2 headphones and volume output from stock dongle has increased to normal levels. So finally I'm able to use my MI A2 for listening music and I don't need to carry my old Moto X play with me just to use spotify.
I don't think problem is low quality of stock dongle. After all it is just simple adapter and it shouldn't have any or very little difference on audio quality (audiophiles may have different opinions). And I also had very low volume via bluetooth on stock rom.
I'd really love to use the stock rom because the stock camera is much better for day to day use than these buggy gcam ports, but low audio output makes it impossible. Mi a2 is great phone with ****ty firmware and I don't have any high hopes for Xiaomi to fix these bugs. Maybe in the future when development really kicks in we got rom wich is capable for music and photos.

So can someone confirm if this is a problem in the type-c to 3.5mm adapter? If i buy a usb-c earphone or a third party adapter the audio will be loud?
I'm really waiting for someone at XDA to comment on :

Question mi11 pro Ear calling Speaker problem

hi everybody ,
after almost 1 year with my mi11 pro miui 12 , im facing a problem - i cant hardlly hear on my Ear calling Speaker problem ...the top of the item (not the speakers)!
its turn till the max volume , also cheacked on the settings , but i cant hardlly hear .
The problem of the very weak sound only on the ear side , not the speakers .
i didnt upgrade yet to miui 13 , waiting for twrp .
can someone help me with this case?
thnx
So basically calls are quiet? Yeah, my MI 11 is similar. People said, try cleaning the speaker grille.
Or, I've also seen a tip where you turn on Mono audio. Haven't tried that one.
But call volume is also awful on OnePlus.
Call volume in my experience:
Google pixels (3a, 4a): 11/10. Super loud, super clear.
Samsung (s7, note 9, note 10+): 10/10
Xiaomi: 6/10
OnePlus (7 pro, 9r, 9 pro): 1/10 (its absolutely awful)
I had the same problem on an s7 edge and on another low-end cell phone it wasn't loud, so I cleaned it with a child's toothbrush and everything was resolved
