Hello, I share my mod for the Xiaomi MI8 Lite.
Credits for @Dante63 for its tutorial
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/mod-dual-speaker-soundmod-devices-root-t3735280
This mod enables the earpiece simulating a stereo effect when listening to music, playing videos or games!
Do not expect miracles, the earpiece is small, it is adjusted to volume values that are not harmful to it.
Install the mod directly from the magisk manager repository!
Go to the downloads tab within the Magisk Manager application, search for the module and install !!!
Initial Release v1.0 13/05/2019
Update 1.1 14/05/2019
Changelog: A mixer was added missing to better control the sound and that the effect is more effect.
Update v1.2 17/05/2019
Changelog: Several changes were implemented to optimize volume and correct operation in more applications where earpiece was not called.
Update v1.3 17/05/2019
Changelog: Fix! In the previous update the mixers were in the wrong path. The route was corrected!
Requirements:
Compatible with all rom with android 9.0
This mod does not work if you have other mods installed

Sorry it's still not working. Try to add earpiece (it's called "handset" in Mi 8 Lite, if i guess well) to the "speaker" section in the "mixer_paths_overly_static.xml".
There is a lot of mixer_path.....xmls in the /vendor/etc/. I guess that the "mixer_paths_overly_static.xml" is the only one, who is working.
I tried to modify all of others to increase the volume of headphones, but only the "mixer_paths_overly_static.xml" was working.
tried magisk module, not working
imposible
What the heck? microfone as a speaker?? I know that the earpiece can be used as a secondary speaker, but a microfone? have anyone installed or seen something like this?
I'm pretty surprised, hope it works
Don't work on my phone. No stereo sound

I know that in m4 aqua there are two microphone. I think one of them doesn't work. It worked sometimes, but now never. To be listened during a call I must put it in loudspeaker mode, wich is very annoying. Is there a fix or a way to use the secondary mic for calls?

Same problem here, I was on .67 when it first occurred, went back to 128, en now .111 but nothing really changes so i'm using an headset for now.
It is software related because on some firmware versions (.128 and .67 )do have a working microphone when you boot into safemode.
Tried to disable google now and/or tts but that does have any result. It does do something because in the test menu you get some muffling sound when you test the microphone with now enabled and completely silent with now disabled.
If you don't need gps you can try tonyshark's cm rom's (either 5.1 or 6.0) I'm waiting for either the cm rom to become into it's next stage so the gps works or for sony to come with their 6.0 update.
I have the same problem. Until some days ago the phone work well but trying to root and flashing recovery I've installed other firmwares different of the one it was on phone and now the mic don't work. I tried with some others versions of the firmware but with no results. Very annoying.
I am using latest Nitrogen OS 8.1 ROM in my Redmi Note 3 since last week, I love everything about this ROM compared to MIUI but the Sound which I get from speakers while listening songs or watching videos is quite low as compared to MIUI.
In MIUI the sound quality and loudness was much better but in Nitrogen OS this is not the case,
Please help me to get equal sound quality and loudness from speakers which I used to get from MIUI,
I will be thankful to you

Hello guys, bought for my wife v30 few days ago and got wierd problem. My wife love to listen our local radio using built in fm radio (no need to use data network). But she cant stream that music to jbl bt speaker, because then radio goes to off and show info cant switch on radio when bt headset is connected by bluetooth. Headset has to be connected to listen fm radio because its anthena. I already used ordinary headphones and same, also change in jbl settings to recive only audio. Try the same with soundbar and still nothing. All is working perfect when she use network online radio, but when she connect bt headset and try to connect with jbl to stream music suddenly radio switch off and show info. Any knows issue or how to fix it?I choose v30 because of built in radio and very good photos and now cant play radio. Thank You.

Try enabling the quad dac globally, connect a headset to the headphone jack
and THEN enabling bluetooth connection/streaming
theoretically it should work but hardware-wise and software-wise there could be limitations (not possible) or the software doesn't have that option.
Was there a phone before that worked the way you expected and described ?
i think i used wrong word when try to describe my problem using my poor english. i ment when i plugin headphones to enable radio, because headphones also doing as anthena, then when i try connect by bluetooth with JBL, radio switch off. Its like i cant connect by bluetooth, to stream music from radio, with any other devices like speaker or soundbar when i have pluged in headphones. Phone thinks that i have connected headphones set, but i have connected just headphones.
P.S. i just bought phone 4 day ago

two things:
the phone only might be able to output (sound) to one device at a time - so when plugged in the headphones it might be impossible to "mirror" this to bt headphones at the same time
the BT chipset might be limited to only use one function at a time - so that bluetooth and FM is mutually exclusive
several devices (or most ?) have a combined BT/ANT/FM chip - so it might not be possible to use all features all at once (could be a hardware limitation)
or that Android cannot do so (several output devices at once).
http://gopinaths.gitlab.io/post/android-audio-framework-architecture/
Since Android Pie there's the option to use several bluetooth audio devices at once - so there, in fact, could be those kind of limitations but applied to headphones and BT audio at the same time:
https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...cted-simultaneously-via-new-developer-option/
This will probably require a workaround in the app itself. By default, Android picks which output device to use by some internal priority list, so bluetooth may have higher priority and switches from the headphone audio path.
Maybe the radio app relies on the current output device to determine if it can work, instead of actually checking that it has an FM signal.
It may have a receiver to "listen" for when the audio output path changes (Android would "broadcast" this change), which you could trick by telling the app that the headphones are the current output, but I don't know enough to write a script or app to do it, sorry.

I ran into this on a different phone awhile back. Not sure if it was my V20 or my Galaxy Note 4 but yeah the headphone jack takes priority over BT. There was an app that allowed you to force it but I don't remember what it was called. Think it was soundabout or something like that but this was quite awhile ago.
i will check tomarrow that apk soundabout and try some settings maybe it helps. Also if pie can use up to 5 devices then i hope v30 will get it some day, will try soundabout and give u a call

Hope it works. I honestly don't remember if it fixed my problem or not to be honest it was so long ago. I think if I remember right you need the paid version because they changed it. I guess just buy it and try it and if it doesn't work just do the refund
This isn't a matter of output device priority. Looks like FM radio is analog all the way. I don't think it runs through any ADC in any point in the audio path. So it can't work with Bluetooth. The Quad DAC also can't work with FM Radio.

This wasn't a question whether quad dac *can* run FM radio or not (of course it doesn't) but if the output could be routed through quad dac and the FM Radio stuff thread the aqstic onboard DAC and then to the bluetooth,
something like if the basic jack-like functionality existed on LG's Android implementation

FM can't be routed through any of the DACs. There's no trick you can do with any of LG's tools/apps/options that would achieve this.
Soundabout also crashes on the V30.

Try method 1 from here?
As far as the quad DAC is concerned: FM radio is a function of the SoC (why don't all SD-equipped phones have FM radio? Probably manufacturers not willing to pay QC for the privilege of enabling it), and FM bandwidth is low enough that the SoC's DAC can handle it no problem. I imagine they could rig something up to route the audio through the powered DAC for potentially more volume, but it's just not worth the trouble.

unfortunately it dosent work, i downloaded apk then pressed switch on so it says connected to device, before that i connected to jbl and when i pluged in earheadphones and opened radio it show me same problem. And thats true soundabour crash when tryied to open it.
This is unbelievable, and there is no solution for that.

I'll check later if nobody else does: does Android send out a "headset unplugged" broadcast when a bluetooth audio device is connected?
If not, that might mean the FM app is actually watching to see what the current audio path is, which could be kind of annoying to work around...
Someone needs to take a peek into the app and see what broadcast receivers it has.
Unfotunately im not as good as u are with that things, so i cant do anything else just asking for Your help. I cant take a peek into the app i dont know how. I can only do and try all advices from here and what ive read on network. Maybe the only way is wait for pie (if v30 get it) and then try change there how many devices can use bluetooth. Someone from here said that android 9 pie will have that choise.

Interesting and you are correct about number of Bluetooth devices...
https://www.theverge.com/2018/8/8/17659526/android-9-pie-best-small-useful-features
On Oreo, you are limited to two Bluetooth devices. Pie allows five.
But I'm not sure how more Bluetooth devices well help you stream the over-the-air FM radio to Bluetooth?
You will probably have to use online radio to get Bluetooth connection.

Yes, we are guaranteed Pie. Ever since last year we've said it won't come before 1st quarter of 2019, and most likely 2nd quarter. V40 and G7 and even V35 have priority over V30.
But we will get it.
Thread to be closed.
Thanks for the guide, much appreciated!
works great on EvoX too.... Thanks for the tip
I have installed this mod on Miui eu v11.0.11 and it works beautifully. The bass is much cleaner than dolby atmos plus which has very muddy bass. The definition is also way better with viper. The only thing I'm yet to figure out is how to reduce the processing delay. It is noticeable sometimes when increasing volume or changing tracks.
Also when the bass hits there's clearly some hint of attenuation going on which makes me feel that something is limiting the overall output. I will go over the instructions for v4a because it's much more complicated than atmos. After that I can give a proper opinion.
Thanks a lot for this tutorial.

That's normal as every device will be hardware limited on the output gain. Try adding gain amplification, it might help in some cases.
There are way too many options to go through, but you will most likely find what you need.

Don't worry, v4a does not work on his A10 or 11 versions. I tried on both already. I recommend you trying other firmware. PixysOS works well.

MIUI 12? I havent tried this on MIUI 12 yet. Global is still receiving the update, so I'm currently using PyxisOS.
EDIT: I've found the "fix" for the issue. Just go to Settings and enable Legacy Mode. This alone worked for me on MIUI 12.0.1 EEA Global.

Turn on legacy mode on Settings
Quick note for all those who like to install every single update out there... The newest version of v4a app (2.7.2.1) was really misbehaving on my 9s running miui eu v11.0.11 so I had to remove it. Every time a notification came in there was a loud crackling noise from the loudspeaker just before and after playing the notification tone. It's as if the speaker is turned on and off just before playing a sound but the popping sound was extremely annoying. Also, the app obviously isn't optimized to work on the rom because it could only work in compatibility mode. Disabling compatibility mode made the app unresponsive and sometimes it froze up the entire system forcing me to hard reboot. Loading ddc and irs presets was hit and miss at best.
Anyone wishing to update the v4a app from v2.7.1.6 be warned. If you decide to update anyway, let us know if it works well for you and your rom setup.
PS: I just stumbled across the ddc and irs profiles for my iems and I'm completely sold. Viper4Android is the king of sound mods. Dolby can't touch a hair on it. I knew that my once timid redmi note 9s was a music giant. It just needed to be woken up and v4a was the adrenaline shot it needed.
I just couldn't live with the crappy sound of the stock rom knowing that the Texas Instruments TAS2562 Class-D Audio Amplifier in my phone was capable of putting out up to 6w of power.

Can you share those profiles? I tried the latest v4a and it wouldn't work. It just wasn't active when I clicked on the chip icon.

To make v4a work just go back to version 2.7.1.6.
DDC profiles are specific to the headphones they're calibrated for. If you try them on different headphones they will sound like crap because every headphone model is tuned differently by the manufacturer.

Keep testing. I'm not going to reinstall it just yet. I don't even see a big difference over the previous version. The most notable changes target android 11.

I can confirm this, V4A FX 2.7.2.1 work on 11.0.10.0 without Audio Modification Libary.
I just needed to enable legacy mode, it seems stable and without any bugs.
I will report back in a few days if something is wrong
12/11/2020 edit: yup, everything seems to be fine
Seems like V4A doesn't work on Redmi Note 9S with MIUI 12.0.2 Global, or atleast it doesn't work on my RN9S. I've tried everything mensioned here and on other forums but I always get
Neon enabled: No
Status: Abnormal
Audio Format: Unsupported.
Ive literally ran out of ideas now.
[Update] I finally got it working. I remembered that some years back, in order to get V4A working we had to change SELinux from "Enforce" to "Permissive". So I downloaded SELinuxModeChanger, changed SELinux to "Permissive" and now V4A is working great. To keep V4A working after every reboot I have to change SELinux to "Permissive", which I don't really mind...
Thanks for the update, helped me get v4a processing again on v12. I knew about the selinux restriction but it was so long ago I completely forgot about it. Good thing SELinuxModeChanger still works despite not being updated for 3 years
Does anybody have this kind of problem since last update 11.0.11.0 on redmi note 9s?
I had this problem on stock rom and miui eu but I installed dolby digital and the volume is much better. It's a lot louder and with the dolby presets it seems to have higher definition and much wider soundstage. I use music preset with volume leveler and open eq.
Sent from my Redmi Note 9S using XDA Labs
this is not because of the update. this is long issue and permanent, atleast in selective region. solution for this is change your region to st. helena then reboot ur phone
I like to try out new things so I installed viper4android and the results are phenomenal. @Urosz you should skip dolby and install viper. My audio is so much better than it was with dolby. Dolby made the phone louder but it was quite muddy. Viper is a lot crisper and you have control over a lot more aspects of the audio. Try viper and you won't regret it.
Another audio mod I loved is Ainur Sauron or narsil but unfortunately there's no compatible version for curtana.

Is viper in flashable mod format or a magisk module? Can you link to it?

It is not in a flashable zip but it uses magisk to alter system files systelmlessly. In magisk you need to install audio modification library from the online repo and then the viper apk. Here is a thread with instructions that work for installing v4a perfectly. Make sure you follow the instructions to the letter. Otherwise you'll have to start afresh. There's no risk of bricking your device during this installation.

Also, i found that the newest viper does not work well unless you enable legacy mode which I don't like because it means that something in it doesn't work well on our system. I have the previous version which is flawless but it isn't available from the viper download page. I have uploaded it on my mega cloud drive. You can download it using this link... Happy modding. Thumbs up if this eventually solves your low audio issue.
