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.
So after rooting phone and downloading ES File Explorer and allowing the root explorer ad on, I edited the mixer paths.xml file to boost the volume. I changed the RX 1 and 2 values to 93, but that seemed to have no effect on the volume. Help?

im wondering as well its always worked before
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?
good day team
under system/vendor/etc or vendor/etc
whenever i replace modded mixer path files with volume boost from 84 to 100 and reboot for changes to make affect,
it goes back to normal/default values after reboot
what am i missing :?

Wich rom? I think u need to make an magisk module or flashable zip
On lineage os 17.1, I was trying to increase the volume and I copied mixer_paths file in /system/etc afterwhich I lost all sound in the phone
I had the original file backed up and pasted it back and rebooted but still no sound from speakers or headset
Can someone guide me how to get the sound back and possibly a way to increase the volume?

Reflash the rom that should fix it.
And if u want to increase the songs volume in headset or the phone speaker just use Viper4android.
