Hello!
I am using HavocOS and my Xiaomi Airdots pro. Is there a way to increase the Bluetooth volume? Is increasing it with Viper the only way? Especially in Spotify it is very quitly. I have tried to deactivate the max bluetooth volume in the dev settings but with no result.
You have a few options,
You can sift through audio folders that are approximately here : Path : system/vendor/etc/ and then locate mixer_paths_overlay_static.xml and mixer_paths_tavil.xml
Do some trial and error with manually increasing audio values For example : changing <ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="17" /> to <ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="20" />
Another option
Flash the attached files that I found on 4PDA a few months ago
I don't remember who to give credit to because I had trouble re-finding it just now. So if the creator sees this post, PM me with your details and I will edit this post and provide credit.
Edit Credit goes to this person : http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=912822&view=findpost&p=83438213
I have used the mod and it definitely worked for me and should work on any rom.
First a Caveat : Use at your own risk.
Although I have used this mod and as mentioned it does in fact work. If you have an issue, don't blame me.
Although there is an uninstall file : make a Nandroid backup and so if the sound quality isn't ideal for you, and for some reason the uninstaller doesn't work, you can quickly go back without too much hassle.
Enjoy.
Thank You very much, i will try
You can also install Xiaomi eu. It's playing music much much better and louder than official rom.

You can also use the louder audio flashable zip I made for mi8 in the mods section.

Cool!
I never knew that you made one.
Edit: How much headroom does your audio mod leave? As you probably already know, should be definitely no higher than -3db, this volume is usually loud enough and without compression artifacts or digital noise.
Edit 2 : Nevermind, I see you left the dynamics, Excellent!
I am sure that your mod has better quality than the one I posted. Thanks for your work.

Does it work also on HavocOS? Because in the topic stands "[MIUI Global]"
Just asking to be sure.

It should if you are using MIUI firmware / Vendor partition. The audio files are in the Vendor partition and usually are linked to that location from the system/etc directory. The mod goes to both places.
Ich have found the file mixer_paths_tavil.xml in vendor/etc/
There are some sections with "Digital Volume"
<ctl name="RX0 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX3 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX4 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX5 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX6 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX7 Digital Volume" value="84" />
I dont know if i can change it to 90. There are more sections where "Digital Volume" is listed but with diferent values like 81 and so

You can do what you prefer, but i've been modding sound since the first consumer HERO phone. I would not go higher than 87 or 88 on the digital side to help reduce distortion. I also wouldn't turn the amp louder than 19 to 21 (def no more than 24 max).
Rule of thumb for audio:
LINEOUT 1&2 Volume to around 18 or 19
HPHL & HPHR to around 24
ADC1 & ADC2 all to 84
RX0 to RX7 all to 84
DEC0 to DEC8 all to 84
Don't forget to check the other mixer files overlay_dynamic and overlay_static. My mod goes through all of the files tweaks all areas for change.

For those that have their shiny S6 rooted.. copy this file with any root explorer to System/etc and make sure permissions are set to 0644. It's a noticeable boost. You can go higher but then the distortion starts.
Modded one Link
Stock untouched one Link

Code:
<path name="gain-media-speaker">

<ctl name="DSP5L Input 2 Volume" value="32" />
<ctl name="AIF4TX1 Input 1 Volume" value="32" />
<ctl name="AIF4TX2 Input 1 Volume" value="32" />

Those are values that I c hanged. Enjoy.

Thank you. I dont use the pc too often so now I have a reason to fire it up. Kind of like an old muscle car. I just drive it once a month on the weekends[emoji12]
I've done some searching but cant seem to find the answer. When I open the permissions and there are 6 boxes, which ones stand for the numbers 0644? I got it working with the same permissions as the stock file but I guess for future reference, what is what?

I have updated the file with headset volume boost. Values changed from 32 to 50. Could adjust according to desired max volume. It made a considerable boost to max volume, maybe too much.
Code:

Sorry, you need to extract the mixer_path.xml file from the zip and place in phone storage. And move it to "/system/etc/mixer_path.xml" and overwrite the existing.
I used root explorer app to copy the file to /system/etc/
Also, you will need to enable Read/Write for the /etc/ folder. Root explorer makes it easy.

i've found 1 side effect from boosting headphone volume. i boosted mine to 50 and when i turn the volume up in my headphones the device automatically stops the music at a certain volume. i dont know if this is a fail safe thing or if the DAC in my phone is faulty. anyone else's phone doing this? it does this for me using poweramp or the default music player.
Same here. Referring to the post above mine.

Try with this.I made it by myself. Be careful with the volume level. I use viper 4 android to set the eq in a level that don't produce distortion or harm the speaker.

Method
-Use any root explorer and go to
system/ etc/ mixer_paths.xml and edit.
-search for <path name="speaker"> then edit <ctl name=RX7 Digital Volume" value = "83" />
change 83 to 89 or any digit below 93 (just to be on the safer side)
-tha same way for headseat
-search:
<path name="headphones">
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="82" /> (max 93)
<!--66 % of 124 (rounded) register: 0x2BF-->
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="82" /> (max 93)
and this:
<path name="speaker-and-headphones">
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="64" /> (max 93)
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="64" /> (max 93)
In my case works well with the value of 100, any value above maximum recommended is at your own risk.

Well everybody, as it has been asked many times now so i bring you the guide to increase the ""Microphone Gain"" on lollipop.
You will need to make some changes to the mixer_paths.xml content located in system/etc.
Open in Notepad++ or editor of choice and search for <path name="rec-main-mic">.
See below for what to edit,be careful not to adjust more than the value stated.
Save and set permissions to 644 or rw-r-r then reboot.

Ideally CM would take it serious and patch in upstream but they stand by "we use the same values as Samsung" which clearly is broken if ANY testing had been done.
Most people don't even catch the gain issue as the volume stands out a lot more. For me the fix comes with the xml and long term will probably be with a new phone.
Moto X Pure or Note 5 incoming.
Can you also make a file for better (very) loud recordings?
Can you also edit, that in normal recording volume its like on stock?

I will upload a "Stock" version but if you backup your original before flashing the zip then you can always reverse the changes . The recording mic gain is pretty loud in my mod, you can increase it more but I do not recommend this at all.

Sorry, I think I writed it a little bit wrong.
I mean a zip to record in loud places, not loud audiofiles. For example, at a concert
But the mic volume on phonecalls and peaceful surroundings should like stock, is this possible?
Okay, I tried the modified file for one day and it is a bit too loud for me. When I was driving and you had driving sound in the background while recording a voice message in WhatsApp it sounds very distorted.. When it is quiet around you it is very good. Is there anything I can do against this? Maybe lower the values a bit? So if I lower it do I have to lower all values?
The microphone is definitely not as good as my galaxy S2's microphone, that has a superb audio quality.. I guess Samsung makes savings on microphone quality or it is limited by settings..
I don't know if it would be helpful to send you the xml File of my S2 to compare the values. There I had installed CM11 and sound was great

Damn I am on Android 4.4.4 (SlimSaber, a derivate of SlimKat) on my old Galaxy S2 and there I cannot find that file..
Do you know if it is maybe somewhere else under KitKat?
EDIT:
Okay I checked the new file, it is better but still a bit scratched in the peaks. What did you changed compared to the first file? I would also say, that the voice is a bit deeper than on my Galaxy S2 but I think that is not settings related but hardware

Good morning,
many thanks again for your work
I checked it again while driving today. It is better than with the first file but still a bit distorted in the peaks.
Volume is good but quality is still a bit "scratched"
I could also record a sound file in whatsapp and send it to you via Mail if you need it for further improvement
If everything is ok I will share your thread in german android-hilfe forum and translate it to german
Btw. I found a very little error in the opener: "Back to Sock Zip" - I think you mean Stock Zip

That is not a problem at all @j1gga84. Haha, minor spelling errors darn it, I have a new file to upload when I get to my laptop
is increasing the gain better for a quiet environment or a loud compared to stock?

I would say for a quiet environment because microphone gets more sensitive, in a lound environment it gets distorted but thejester123 is still optimizing the file and the one you can download right now is much better than the first one from yesterday :good:

Here ya go. I am on Stock but I am on OPW27.113-89 which is one behind the latest I believe. The latest is just a security patch though so I doubt this file changed any.
should be good enough, thank you!

Were you able to accomplish this? I have a Moto E4 that I was able to edit mixer_paths.xml to increase volume. I have found the same file in my Moto G6, however, all the values I used to edit the E4 are not present in the G6. WTF!
Anyone got a clue?

In addition to editing the mixer_paths.xml, it would be nice to add more volume steps. In xposed I have tried both Volume Steps+ and the volume mod in Gravity Box without any luck. I have also edited the build prop with:
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=50
ro.config.media_vol_steps=50
Volume steps are added for media, but nothing for calls or alarms.
Any advice?
Below is a copy & paste from Notepad++. It is a search of "Digital Volume" within mixer_paths.xml. These are, I believe, the values that need to be edited/tweaked. Per this thread, the default value is 128, and the max is 199. I don't know where the poster got that info but 199 seems very high. If it is accurate information, then it's going to take a lot of trial and error to increase the volume to a safe/respectable level.
Based on these results/values, does anyone know what value(s) to use? It appears cut and dry which section is for Headphones and Speaker, but there are multiple speaker sections so I am a bit confused. I will likely experiment when I have time but until then hopefully someone can share more info.
Thanks!

I have tweaked the above values of 109, 114, & 128. I made them all 134, and again 142. Unfortunately, I have not noticed any difference in the volume. Either I have chosen to modify the wrong values, or there is another file hidden somewhere that needs to be modded.
I am really hoping someone else can help with this mod.
