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

there are two files. Try Both to see if it works. If there are problems, just replace with the original file you attached here. Dont forget to give the correct permissions after replacing the file
a) View attachment 4145850
b) View attachment mixer_paths.xml
the values I changed were
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="92" /> (original is 84)
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="92" /> (original is 84)
<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="11"/> (original is 9)
<ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="11"/> (original is 9)

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.
what about on Stable rom 8.2.7?

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.

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.
Absolutely awesome boss

Please help sir i don't able to edit text
How to increase Bluetooth profile in-call handsfree/headset volume. Pls suggest.
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>
<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>
<path name="headset">
<path name="ear" />
<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="20" />
<ctl name="HPHR 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.
hey even i did try the mod there is an improvement in sound quality but the base is still not clear as of sony devices...and really I would appreciate your efforts

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.
Thank you.

What is in it? I see only some code from the site you shared when click slow download.
Only 30kb file.
Can you upload to another site perhaps?
New version is up, lemme know what you think guys!
UPDATE 7 : MAGISK Module updated to match latest AQG5 Firmware and Camera Version. Fixed Camera Recording Issue
UPDATE 6 : MAGISK Module updated to Template v4 for Magisk 13.x
UPDATE 5 : v3 uploaded with better balance
between earpiece and main speaker. Gain adjusted to prevent crackle. This mod best combine with Dolby Atmos Module, use around 50-60% volume.
UPDATE 4 : Magisk Module for the Mod added - for you who are in stock and still wish for OTA, use it instead so that u can have the mod systemless way
UPDATE : New zip for dual speaker with increased gain added
UPDATE 2 : ORIGINAL file added, in case people forget to back up
UPDATE 3 : BOTTOM ONLY BOOST zip added
As all we know, our phone only has one speaker at the bottom,
So just like the rest of similar mod for other phone (ex : my Oneplus 3)
Here's the file mod you can use to make the earpiece (the one near your ear) of your phone to act as secondary speaker
Download attached file,
Place it in /system/etc and change permission to 644
Reboot
OR, download the ZIP file and flash via TWRP
For SYSTEMLESS METHOD, use Magisk version zip and install it through Magisk Manager
Try and report
If you need to adjust the gain yourself, find these lines in mixer_gains and adjust the 35 or 40 value to your liking :
<path name="gain-media-speaker">
<ctl name="HPOUT3L Input 1 Volume" value="35" />
<ctl name="HPOUT3R Input 1 Volume" value="35" />
</path>
<path name="gain-media-headset">
<ctl name="HPOUT2L Impedance Volume" value="107" />
<ctl name="HPOUT2R Impedance Volume" value="107" />
<ctl name="HPOUT2L Input 1 Volume" value="40" />

There is no risk of a "blowout". The earpiece speaker is a sort of tweeter so not that loud, and the bottom speaker is the loud woofer. I have used this mod for the s7 for a year and now using it for the s8 , no blowouts here! go for it mate its all good.

i had it also on my s7 edge and loved it! i would much like additional confirmations from others. would ultimately like a bottom speaker only mod with lvl 3 as zubis or dual with lvl2. prefer lvl3 with bottom only if anyone can help me out plz
I also had it for the S7 edge and worked nicely so just flashed it and will update to see if works thanks.
Much kudos to the OP for this mod. I seriously do not get, why Samsung does not enable that from the beginning - why?!?
Thanks! Works great. Pretty sweet Viper working too, I cant believe the sound coming out of my phone speakers!:good:

So I finally set my X Compact.
I have 6.0.1 firmware with unlocked bootloader, root with Magisk, Twrp, Androplus kernel, Xposed, Nova Launcher...
Everything is nice as z3 compact and better: battery so far, much better camera (z3c sucks...), faster system, fingerprint...more ram etc...
But 3 things I have to solve for a perfect device:
- Sound speakers: It is not very high. I would like a sound boost app working, or a system mod, but I can't find it...
- Torch light is very low. Can't find a way to modify that. Here there is a thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/help/increasing-torch-power-root-t3637773
- Call recording issue. interlocutor's voice is usually too high and distorted... (This is the most annoing fact...!)... Software Developers says is a system issue...
That's it so far. I wonder if I update firmware to 7.1.2 can fix some. But Xposed is still not working propely on that Android version...
Hope some can help me...

Can't look it up right now but if you google it it's easy to find. You can make the speakers louder by opening up a particular system folder with root explorer. The default value for max volume is 83. Change that to 93 or 94 and you will see a huge difference. Don't recommend setting the value higher than that though because at 100 you risk blowing a speaker.
P.S. mixer_paths.xml is what your looking for. "speaker" and "headphone" are the area you want. For speaker change the 83 to 93 or 94, for headphone if it's at 15 bump it up to 20.

I wonder if I can solve the recording call issue with this file, too.
I see "voice rx gain" ...maybe if I give a minor value it does not create distortions with call recording...the issue is with interlocutor's voice only...

Side note if for some reason that didn't work scroll down a couple lines and change the handset RX1 Digital Volume Value from 84 to 93 as well. Reboot and see what happens. Just always go with small changes, especially when going up in volume. I have never taken a compact higher than 94 due to risk of blowing a speaker.
As for the voice thing you can play with values just write the numbers down in case it doesn't work out so you can put it back to default value. Though I am not sure what distortion or loudness your getting from the callers end because I haven't noticed anything like that on mine. Granted it's still running stock though just with a flashed firmware for the fingerprint sensor.

I changed the speaker value only. I think it works. Speaker volume seems to be louder. Now it's night, I can't test correctly
Voice calling is ok. The issue is when you record the call and you listen to it. My recorded sound voice is ok, the other caller voice is distorted. But during the live call everything is ok.
Also bt calling and recording is ok.

Try using Boldbeast from the playstore. I think it has a free trial version. See if that makes a difference on sound quality. Might just be a compatibility issue between that app and the phone.
Thankyou, it is a great app,too. But still I have this annoing issue... I’m very dispirited…
Hey Guys I solved my problem!!!
I just update form MM to Nougat 7.1.1. (34.3.A.0.206) and now call recording seems to be good!!!
Now I have the perfect device!!!!!!!!!!!!
(p.s. And with Genesis Kernel 1.05 installed too...)
Are you using boldbeast to record? If so what settings are you using? I've got the default settings and the recordings are so so

Coming from Z3c, and just wondering about people's predictions - will there be much continuing development for Xc? I really like this phone, and feel like it's an upgrade, but would like to see more custom stuff. What do we think: more to come or heading out? I think I read that we should get official O, correct?

There should indeed be official Oreo soon but the future for more community content is uncertain imo. There isn't really much going on about this device (when compared to other devices, of course) and I think you could be maybe better off with XZ1c.

I had 2 Z1c's over the course of 3 years, and did just about everything you can do with it, a few times over. Development has almost stopped now... You're right, though, probably the best Xperia compact phone yet, as far as development.
Actually, I meant the new XZ1 Compact device.

There isn't much done yet but it has more potential, being newer and with better specs.
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.

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.

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?
