One of my friend was complaining about sound volume of moto e speakers. Upon searching in XDA forum I found a solution for this. The search in XDA directed to thread by SuperHanss a Recognized Contributor - OP. But it is for Nexus device.
This increases Volume of SPEAKER, HEADPHONE. IN-CALL This is battery friendly no additional apps is reqd.
For this you need a rooted MOTO E and any file manger with root-access and Text Editor. I have root explorer.
Go to Root -> System -> etc -> scroll down to mixer_paths.xml ->Scroll down and tweak the values of "RX1 Digital Volume" value, RX2 Digital Volume" value, RX3 Digital Volume" value to any number below 95 ( default is 84 ).But any value more than 92 resulting in distortion of sound, I have set it to 89,
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="89" />
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="89" />
<ctl name="RX3 Digital Volume" value="89" />
Similarly by tweaking DEC1 Volume" value, DEC2 Volume" value you can improve in-call volume. I have set this to 89. Default 84.
<ctl name="DEC1 Volume" value="89" />
<ctl name="DEC2 Volume" value="89" />
After tweaking the file set permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.
Pl bear in mind, utmost care is needed while applying these values. Because too high values may damage the speakers and distorted sound.
Any better tweaks, most wel-come.
Hope this helps.

You are most welcome.At least I am happy you tried these tweaks and implemented it.
Thank you! Just was looking exactly for this.
thanks... worked perfectly.
@drishd Is it applicable for Moto E 2015(XT1506) ???

In the same folder. See the op
Also if you are using root explorer, no need to set the permissions again since most probably the default permissions won't change

Hi, is there something mod to increase the volume of this tab? Ive switch on the xloud bout, i dont hear much difference I'm root.

You could do it by yourself by editing the file "/system/etc/mixer_path.xml". After edit you might need to set file permission to 0644 and clear dalvik cache in recovery. Make backup of your original file though.

Depending what you want? Speakers or headphones. If I remember correctly these lines are for headphones:
<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="20" />
<ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="20" />
And again if I remember correctly speakers are these lines:
<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" />
RX1 and RX7 are perhaps those that make differences but try yourself.
Remember to be careful because one can easily damage the hardware if increasing more than speakers can handle.

Do you have any other mods? Only differencies with your mixer_paths are that you have increased "RX1" from 82 to 100, RX2 from 82 to 100 and original file have "</mixer>" this line in the end of the file without quotes.
Hi all, I have modded the Galaxy S5 mixer_paths.xml so that it will use earpiece aswell while playing music, watching youtube etc.
I found this on monivan's stereomod thread for the xperia Z (which i have) and I find it so cool that I wanted this on my wife's S5 so now I'm sharing here with you!
First of all, PLEASE DO A BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT FILE BEFORE PROCEEDING!!
It is located in /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml
DISCLAIMER:
Everything you do is your choice, if you missing any important call or getting fired because of alarm didn't work, you busting your earpiece or thermonuclear war starts off and you point your finger at me, I will laugh at you.
I take no responsibility for your actions.
REQUIREMENTS :
-Rooted phone with busybox installed
-Stock rom (may also work on AOSP/CM, don't know try it yourself and let know here)
-galaxy s5 g900f
-users reported to work on note 10.1 and s4 also.
HOW TO INSTALL:
1. Download mixer_paths_xx_xx.zip
(Download links in download section)
(if not available request desktop version)
2. Move your stock/current mixer_paths.xml from /system/etc to any location on your sd card.
3. Unzip the zip file you just downloaded and copy mixer_paths.xml to /system/etc and set correct permission rw-r-r a.k.a. 0644
Like this:
XX0
X00
X00
4. Reboot
5. Turn down your volume before using and increase slowly to test safely.
I tuned volume values so that sound is not distorting at all kind of genres, with stock Samsung music player at full volume with no equaliser settings active.
But please be careful using this!!
Also I think S5 has much better earpiece than xperia Z or Z1, much more clear bass coming thru.
To test if this works see: Left/Right Stereo Audio/Visual Test.: http://youtu.be/dvqbq_0jZ_U
Have fun!
NOTE:
I now have made multiple versions made, to better fit everybody's needing.
I have made loud and normal versions, and I have made version with and without combined channels.
SINGLE AND DUAL CHANNEL?
I don't have to tell you guys what means loud and what means normal, but.. What means separated and combined channels?
Let's say, "RX1" is earpiece and "RX7" is loudspeaker. Those are hardware components.
Let's now say, we have an left and right channel. "RX1" and "RX2".
You might be thinking "why is RX1 earpiece and channel at the same time?"
-it isn't. Doesn't matter but read further.
Separate channel will mean left channel for example will play on earpiece (rx1 is playing rx2) and right channel is playing loudspeaker (rx7 is playing rx1)
Combined channel will mean left and right channels will both play on earpiece and loudspeaker at same time (rx1 is playing rx1 and rx2, and rx7 is playing rx1 and rx2)
TUTORIAL:
So, how to edit this to your exact needs?
Simple, open the xml file and goto somewhere around line 450. (Using 920 text editor from play store works fine)
You will see something like this ================================================================ -->
<!-- Play Scenario -->
<path name="handset">
<path name="rcv" />
<ctl name="EAR PA Gain" value="POS_3_DB" />
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="84" />

<path name="speaker">
<path name="spk" />
<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="20" />
<ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="20" />
<ctl name="EAR PA Gain" value="POS_3_DB" />
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="86" />
<ctl name="RX7 Digital Volume" value="74" />
<ctl name="SPK DRV Volume" value="8" />
<ctl name="COMP0 Switch" value="1" />

<path name="headset">
<path name="ear" />
<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="20" />

<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="79" />
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="79" /
<ctl name="COMP1 Switch" value="1" /
path>
The thing you want to adjust are in the "speaker" section.
Rx1 and rx7 digital volumes.
Just remember:
Rx1 is earpiece in this section and rx7 is loudspeaker in this section.
Also you can adjust headphone volume , it is just beneath speaker section.
Only adjust the digital volumes, nothing else.

I have tested volume's on my wife's g900f and I think all variants have same earpiece.
If you're unsure, you can set your volume to minimum before installing this mod, and when installed slightly increase volume and see it yourself.
It will not bang your earpiece immediately, IF volume is to loud on yours you will be warned by hearing distortion.

Ive noticed for music and ringtones its amazing. However, I hear distortion for notification sounds for some reason. Doesn't make sense though? Has anyone else experienced this?
So, does this actually use both speakers to play sounds?

Did you try another notification sound? Do you use v4a or something?
Do you use any volume mod?
Also, you can try lowering ring volume a step and let me know if it still persist.

I can make another version with an filter for which may or may not improve it.
Anyway I'm owning an Z myself and I'd tested this mod on my wife's s5 but when compared I think s5 has much clearer bass than the Z.
Do you use any equaliser setting or other audio mod?
If so, make them undone and test again :thumbup:
This is great sir. Very impressed. The sound is fabulous.

Editing the mixer XML would do this.
And how can I do it?
From the root directory, go to /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml this file can break audio for you so please make a backup of the original before editing it, now you're going to be looking for something very similar or the same as I've pasted for example,
<path name="speaker">
<path name="fb-protection" />
<ctl name="SLIM RX1 MUX" value="AIF1_PB" />
<ctl name="SLIM_0_RX Channels" value="One" />
<ctl name="RX3 MIX1 INP1" value="RX1" />
<ctl name="RX3 Digital Volume" value="67" />
<ctl name="RX4 Digital Volume" value="67" />
<ctl name="RDAC5 MUX" value="DEM3_INV" />
<ctl name="LINEOUT1 Volume" value="16" />
<ctl name="LINEOUT3 Volume" value="16" />
<ctl name="RX3 HPF cut off" value="MIN_3DB_150Hz" />
<ctl name="SPK Amp Volume" value="4" />
<ctl name="SPK Amp CLK" value="On" />
</path>
For the lines that read RX3 Digital volume value and RX4 Digital volume value you'll be editing the values of those two lines. For example if I wanted a lower maximum volume I'd change both RX3 and RX4 from 67 to 66 for a lower 100% volume, the 67 will not be the same on your device however it'll be different from mine just so you don't use mine as an exact example, lastly make sure the permissions are good and the end result should be where you want it.
PS:You're going to need to edit this several times and reboot after each time to have the changes take effect.
Remember to listen for a comfortable volume level each time after editing so you don't make it too low. And last but not least, Goodluck!

This is assuming that you're rooted of course. If you need any help just ask me, I can edit this file for you if aren't comfortable with doing it yourself.
This particular tutorial is for the phones speaker by the way, If your question is intended for headphone use that can be changed also.
Really, thank you for your help. But I cannot find the file mixer_paths.xml. I use root explorer and root browser, but it is nowhere in system/etc. Maybe it is a hidden file?
It may be elsewhere within your device, I'm not too familiar with the root directory of HTC devices.
I got the phone about a month ago and without any delay I started playing around with it flashing ROMs and what-not. The thing that I noticed across the board is that the sound volume in general is a bit low for my liking. Media volume bar set to middle sounds like low in other devices. Calls in either speaker or loudspeaker needs to be cranked up all the way to be properly heard. In case of loud speaker you actually need to have the phone right next to you otherwise no game.
The MTK version owners are lucky enough to have that extremely useful engineering mode where they can simply go and boost the volume. And the question here is: How can we do the same?
I am not talking about viper4android or other mods that make sound, sound better. I want to raise the actual throughput of the sound output devices.
I know that editing the mixer_paths.xml can get the effect I want. Though I would like to get some proper advice on what to change in there to get the expected effect.
Before going there though, is there something similar to the MTK Engineering mode in the Snapdragon version?
EDIT: I need to add that I am looking to boost the volume in both MIUI and AOSP Extended which is the ROM I am mainly playing around with. Reading around about the mixer_paths edit I haven't managed to find the lines many people are talking about. Any help from people who might have done said mods would be more than welcome.
Anyone?

upload your mixer_path file and I can try to see if its possible.
I have experience (lol) tinkering around with mixer_path files
edit: there is no way increase sound via an app like on MTK devices. You can request for mods to increase volume via kernel though. Try asking the devs. Sound increase is possible but it has to on kernel level
and yeah pls upload the mixer_path file

a) View attachment 4145850

Thank you I will try once I get the chance and report back.
EDIT: So I tried the mentioned changes. Didn't copy/paste anything, directly edited the file with ES Explorer so I wouldn't have to play around with file permissions.
Tried different settings just to be sure but no change. At least at the device's media/loud speaker. Didn't test headphones and call speaker though. Have you tried these options and worked for you or the recommended changes are out of experience?
Also trying to figure out the flow in the file, I cannot see how it gets the actual values. For example in line 854:
Code:
<path name="speaker">
<ctl name="RX3 MIX1 INP1" value="RX1" />
<ctl name="SPK" value="Switch" />
</path>
we have the speaker element which should logically (and according to some guides around) be the one ruling over the speaker. The value "RX1" though makes no sense to me.

Hi, I was looking around for a suitable fix for louder volume in the heaphones. I have the Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon 4/64 global Rom uising Miui 8.2.10 Rooted. I can confirm that applying the settings mentioned works very well indeed!
Just to point out that I had to make the script changes in 'mixer_paths_mtp.xml' not 'mixer_paths.xml'. Thanks for the fix.

Hi,
Screenshot as requested. Just change those values as highlighted.
Balanced stereo sound and stereo record with true left/right channel recording
Most stereo modifications do not take into account the lower volume of the conversation speaker, which is why the sound when playing in a polyphonic speaker is much louder. I corrected the gain values, for a more equal sense of loudness. This is especially noticeable when watching movies with a small number of low frequencies.
When you hold the smartphone with the buttons up, the recording of the channels is in the correct position. All the modifications, that I came across earlier, wrote a sound in an inverted position, because of the inverted position of our camera.
Installing:
Download attached file, and flash it throw TWRP
Or you can use magisk module from this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76085341&postcount=4
With best wishes, AlexUnderKH
UPD:
Corrected the position of the channels during playback. It seems that now it sounds right. Files are updated
I edited a magisk module from other thread with sound modification and replaced with your modification. Works. If you allow to upload it here.
Edit: Also edited the module prop file with the whole info of the thread. The magisk module works, I'm waiting when you give permission to upload the magisk module there.

Thank you both for this awesome mod - completely overhauls the sound.
First off, you should credit the persons whose original work you've used for this mod, namely chdloc for the stereo recording and sshafranko whose stereo surround sound mod you seem to have based your files on. I can see that you've changed some of the digital volume gains (and added a frequenzy cutoff), but you seem to have boosted it for the headphones too quite a bit. I cannot however see that you've made any changes to the stereo recording compared to the original other than boosting the recording volumes. You have changed the lines
Code:
<!-- Incall Recording -->
<ctl name="MultiMedia1 Mixer VOC_REC_UL" value="1" />
<ctl name="MultiMedia1 Mixer VOC_REC_DL" value="1" />
<ctl name="MultiMedia8 Mixer VOC_REC_UL" value="1" />
<ctl name="MultiMedia8 Mixer VOC_REC_DL" value="1" />
<!-- Incall Recording End -->
from 0 to 1, but as far as I can tell, that doesn't have anything to do with the stereo recording. In fact, with the original mod my channels are already in the correct position when recording with the buttons on top. You also haven't increased the bitrate for the audio recorded so you're getting a quite low bitrate per each channel.
Mhm … If I put my N5X to the left, so the buttons are on the upper side the playback channels are reversed like in all other stereo mods before. Left channel sound comes out of the bottom speaker, right channel out of the upper one. Back to DualMonoV2 for me.

First off, you should credit the persons whose original work you've used for this mod, namely chdloc for the stereo recording and sshafranko whose stereo surround sound mod you seem to have based your files on. I can see that you've changed some of the digital volume gains (and added a frequenzy cutoff), but you seem to have boosted it for the headphones too quite a bit. I cannot however see that you've made any changes to the stereo recording compared to the original other than boosting the recording volumes. You have changed the lines
Code:
<!-- Incall Recording -->
<ctl name="MultiMedia1 Mixer VOC_REC_UL" value="1" />
<ctl name="MultiMedia1 Mixer VOC_REC_DL" value="1" />
<ctl name="MultiMedia8 Mixer VOC_REC_UL" value="1" />
<ctl name="MultiMedia8 Mixer VOC_REC_DL" value="1" />
<!-- Incall Recording End -->
from 0 to 1, but as far as I can tell, that doesn't have anything to do with the stereo recording. In fact, with the original mod my channels are already in the correct position when recording with the buttons on top. You also haven't increased the bitrate for the audio recorded so you're getting a quite low bitrate per each channel.

You can use any mods, that you want - it's not my business. So where i took files - not your business. All files, that i used, included in official firmware for Nexus 5X
I did not upload them from XDA. So, you can tell me anything, but in first post i sad, what i did personally.

When you base your modifications on someone elses original work, you should always credit them.

I made this modifications to faithfully play the video on other devices, at the request of one of the owners of Nexus 5X, and not to view the videos on the smartphone.
If you do not like it, do not use it.

I don't know, who did this mod first time... So I can not credit anyone. I did not upload original files from xda...

I changed only mixer_path, not media_profiles

Your code
Code:
<path name="camcorder-stereo">
<ctl name="AIF1_CAP Mixer SLIM TX7" value="1" />
<ctl name="AIF1_CAP Mixer SLIM TX8" value="1" />
<ctl name="SLIM TX8 MUX" value="DEC7" />
<ctl name="DEC7 MUX" value="DMIC1" />
<ctl name="SLIM TX7 MUX" value="DEC10" />
<ctl name="DEC10 MUX" value="DMIC3" />
<ctl name="SLIM_0_TX Channels" value="Two" />
<ctl name="DEC7 Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="DEC10 Volume" value="84" />
</path>
is the same as the code by chdloc (whom I mentioned in my first post) except for slightly different order and volume. You also mentioned that all the other modifications you had come across wrote the sound in inverted position so you must have seen it then as he's the only person who's done it (and you're still using the same positions as he is). But anyways, I don't want to argue. If you did do it all by yourself and didn't copy anything from anyone else, then good job. :good:

It is possible that initially the file was made exactly by those you are talking about, but 100% I can not know about it And what exactly did it myself - i wrote in the first post
path name "speaker-gain-default" can be remove from mixer_paths.xml
this path never used as I see
thanks for this patch!
btw, you can use "Multi-quote" to reply those posts
This patch is pretty sweet Thanks!

same problem over here.
Is there an Nexus 5X speaker mod with real division of left and right audio channel for the upper and the lower speaker?
