Also interested in this. I agree too that the wired headphone volume is too low. Can the root directory be modified directly with a file explorer with Android 10 now I wonder. It seems that any attempt I make to modify root files on my device is denied. I'm Using Root with Magisk and Solid Explorer.
as of 11th May, no official TWRP yet. any changes to the system file causes the whole phone to go on softbrick, requiring it to be reflashed.

You are allowed to modify system when on MIUI EU rom.
Give me the value to modify in order I test it. Sound is lower than other phone I can compare with. MI9t and Redmi8
ok. so the file needed to be modified is mixer_paths.xml under system/vendor/etc . the values needed to be changed is in this line
default values below. HPHL and HPHR are the 3.5mm jack volumes
<!-- Volume controls -->
<ctl name="WSA_RX0 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="WSA_RX1 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX_RX0 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX_RX1 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX_RX2 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="20" />
<ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="20" />
<ctl name="EAR SPKR PA Gain" value="G_DEFAULT" />
everytime i change any of the value and overwrite the phone softbricks
if anyone here knows how to reinsert this system file back without bricking please share your ideas. Thanks

You can do that only with EU rom.
I'll try it today on EU 11.05 Magisk boot and x-plore.
I don' have twrp installed yet.
EDIT:It is done!
I raised value first to 50 and then to 80 without a huge effect as volume increase.
May be not the right parameter to be modified?
If you try the same way modification, don't forget to remove Magisk root right given to your file explorer BEFORE phone reboot. (brick is reported)
I mind you've better to move to EU rom, it is much better than stock and this allow system file modification.
or maybe its RX1, RX2 ?
Please let me understand, If I install twrp magisk and xiaomi eu latest rom the problem that is reported with root and file explorers DOESNT EXIST? If I understood right?
Thanks in advance

My verified conditions are:
EU 11.05 boot patched Magisk.
I am sure phone reboot goes well IF Xplore (the file exlorer I use) ROOT RIGHT, (in Magisk Manager setup) are removed before doing reboot.
I DIDN't test reboot with root engaged.....
PS/ go back to related topic. thanks
Thanks so the problem still exists

anyone here have a solution for this? still bricking even with the 11.0.8 rom
Wish there was a fix for this. It seems that mods to the system partition are only possible via Magisk modules, maybe a mod could be made like that?
I have Viper4Android successfully installed on my 9S which does improve things but I would much prefer to have the volume raised properly by altering the mixer_paths values. We can only hope.
Low quality hardware. issue exists on every single xiaomi device which has 3.5mm port. Try usb c port instead. The quality is much much better.

One Solution:
Change the region in additional settings in settings app to United States or St. Helena.

I can confirm audio output via USB. I bought a type c to 3.5mm DAC from aliexpress for around £10. Volume is definitely louder and cleaner when it is louder.

Install Volume Booster GooDev apps, set increasing volume of 7-8%, the headphone will play as loud as you expected, while still keep all tones sharp...

Hello everyone my XT1524 has a low call volume problem. The volume is so low I can barely understand what the other person's saying even in a quiet environment. Since, based on what I found on the internet, the loudspeaker and the earpiece are the same speaker and the phone plays music nice and loud it must be a software problem. I tried boosting the mixer_paths values but the audio gets too distorted while still being low. I also tried flashing the stock rom and a different kernel but nothing worked. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help is appreciated thanks
Greetings, I am having same issue with my Moto XT1524. Could it be a hardware problem?
I don't think so since music plays at a high volume and that comes from the same speaker.
Having same problem like you......
Found a solution
I think i found a solution. It works but i don't know if it's the optimal way of doing it. You have to be rooted since you'll have to edit the mixer_paths.xml file.
The first thing you have to do is locate the mixer.paths file that is found in "/system/etc" now you can either copy it to your pc or you can edit it directly from your smartphone.
Then you'll have to change this block of code from line 547 to line 550:
Code:
<path name="voice-handset">
<path name="handset" />
</path>
to:
Code:
<path name="voice-handset">
<path name="speaker" />
<ctl name="RX3 Digital Volume" value="70" />
</path>
You can change the RX3 volume to whatever value you prefer, just be careful when you set high values (over 84) since you might damage your speaker.
Then you just have to save, set permissions to "-rw-r--r--" and reboot.
I also have attached the already modded mixer.paths file from my Moto E.
Disclaimer: I will not take any responsibility for anything wrong that might happen to your device. Do it at your own risk.

I just fixed my father's phone with your solution and it seems to work great!
After more than one year of bearing the low in-call volume, my father couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to buy a new phone. I finally searched the internet for any solution and THIS was more than perfect!! You saved us about 150€ ^^
I did not root the phone. I only unlocked the bootlocker and then mounted the system partition via twrp (fastboot boot, no flashing), then I adb-pulled the mixer_paths.xml file and edited on my pc. Pushed it back to the phone, rebooted and voilà.
The sweet spot for the volume is between 50 and 60 imho. 70 was a little too loud. And for anyone wondering yes, lowering and increasing volume with hardware buttons still works flawlessly.

I also noticed that this fix doesn't work when other apps have to play something through the "earpiece" (for instance WhatsApp voice notes). To fix that you need to also replace on line 504:
Code:
<path name="voice-hac-handset">
<path name="handset" />
</path>
with:
Code:
<path name="voice-hac-handset">
<path name="speaker" />
<ctl name="RX3 Digital Volume" value="70" />

It's pretty much the same thing but done in this other place.
It was a great help for me too. Though I have one more problem.
When I am on speaker the mic do not record any voice though it is not a problem while on handset. Any help? @x-flyer
Are young saying that if you are on a call and you put your phone on speaker, then the other person hears nothing because the mic doesn't pick up anything?

If you are rooted you can just download an app like "Root Browser Classic", navigate to the root of the phone "/" and then go to "/system/etc". If you are not rooted you can actually just boot into TWRP and use adb commands to pull and push the file.

I've just noticed that there's an error in the post. It should be "mixer_paths.xml" instead of "mixer.path", so maybe that's the problem. Anyway I'm trying to download the rom from AFH but it's being super slow right now, so that's going to take a while.

Thanks for helping me no problem take your time
It looks like that the mixer_paths.xml file, for your rom, is located in "system/vendor/etc".
can someone help me with a guide to better surround sound using headset
Poco uses modified vendor image and classic trick of altering mixer path file will not work!
you will have to use custom kernel having Audio mode,
Franco Kernel and Optimus Drunk kernel are my favorite
flash kernel using TWRP
re-flash Magisk (if necessary)
reboot
now install SMART PACK kernel Manager ( REFERENCE )
open and give it supersu rights , from menu from left, select SOUND and you will see
-headphone gain (L/R)
-Earpeace gain
-Microphone gain
and increase bar(s)
set it accordingly and enjoy the loud music on heaphone!
anybody here know how to do the "USB Tweaks"->"Bus speed"->"Full speed (USB 1.1)". in this comment?
Hi All!
Just for information regarding Poco and external DAC (DragonFlye Red).
USB Audio Player Pro:
Pocophone F1 is marked as "NOT WORKING ANDROID DEVICES", because of "Massive USB errors"
It works perfectly (at least playing local files up to 192/24) after setting in "USB Tweaks"->"Bus speed"->"Full speed (USB 1.1)".
If left in "Auto" or "High Speed (USB 2.0)" it doesn't work at all.
Also it works "USB Audio"->"Bit perfect mode" up to 96/24. (But it's a limitation of the DAC)
Neutron Player: everything works after setting "Audio Hardware"->"Direct USB Access". But USB Audio Player sounds better.

Please read the FAQs and RULES of XDA Thread.
Hey, anybody knows how can I increase the volume on Android One? I know for a fact that it could be easier in a custom rom but for now I think that stock it's the best option at the moment.
So, I tried editing different mixer paths files (changing rz0 and rx1 values) because that usually worked on my old XZ Premium and a Redmi Note 5 running PE, but the values keeps resetting to default after reboot, any ideas?
Build a Magisk module for system files modification. Direct editing is "fixed" by DM verity and it's error correction mechanism.
Also you can use equalizer app which has pre-amp/gain function (REEQ, EQFY, Viper4android, probably James DSP, ..).

Forgive my noobery but how do I do magisk module for that?
Yup, I'm using V4A but preamp gain usually may result in distortion whereas using sound control via custom kernel or editing audio files result in a boost on the volume evenly

Download the template https://github.com/gedoor/magisk-module-template
And follow the tutorial https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/guides.html
Or..download one of the existing modules from Magisk repo and try to modify it to your purpose https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo
Though I'm not sure if there is really some difference between using EQ pre-amp gain and modifying XML paths, both work with digital gain and too much gain will result in distortion. But I might be wrong, I didn't test it.
Hi, so I have an unrooted S10e and a rooted S7 edge. On the S7 edge, I have a game called "drag racing" and want to transfer the save file over to the S10e. On the S7 edge, I can navigate in data/data, and find the save files. On the S10e I can't do that.
I have tried. All failed.
1. Adb backup/restore using PC. (It backed up a 1kb file)
2. Navigating on Android Studio using device explorer on PC. Every single file came up as " run-as package not debuggable". So I couldn't access the contents.
3. File explorers that allow additional searching privileges like "Total commander", couldn't access enough.
Anyone have any ideas? On the S7 edge the save file is right there. But I can't move it anywhere on the S10e.
Thanks!

Also, I'm not planning on rooting my s10e, honestly the phone is fine as stock.
I just feel that I got so close with my findings and think that there's something that I'm quite close to get. The Adb stuff looked promising, but it didn't work. (The Adb stuff worked with other apps)

There might be problems though even if the old .apk's data would work. Like the updates stops working, etc...
I have owned LG V30/40/50 primarily for music listening. The downside was to activate the high impedance mode (for earphones under 50 ohm), one had to go through various processes involving adapters and cables. The other option for rooted devices was to edit the MIXER_PATH_TAVIL.XML file. That triggered the high gain output permanently.
For V60, that option is not directly available. The reason is that /vendor/etc/mixer_path.xml is located in super partition making the file not editable. So you could only force the high impedance mode by using adapter or cable option till now.
Using Magisk, I have written two modules that will allow you to substitute the system file and put your phone in high impedance mode permanently. Magisk simply loads the edited files as the effective ones (disabling the system file). You will notice increase in volume/gain when you enable/disable DAC in sound settings.
So I have Viper 4 installed with my module without any problem producing enhanced sound output from V60.
INSTALLATION:
1. Download the attached modules. Do not make any changes.
2. Save it on your phone.
3. Go to Magisk module page and choose install from storage option.
4. If you already have AML installed then uninstall that first.
5. Direct Magisk to the file you just downloaded. Now install AML first.
6. Reboot.
7. Install the Mixer.zip second (for high impedance effect) with Magisk.
8. Reboot.
Enjoy!
This module makes V60 more likable for listening to music. As you said, the new partition structure that is implemented in V60 made it impossible to edit the relevant files un-editable. Of particular value is your AML that does not make any sacrifices when listening in high impedance. Fantastic job!
I was myself thinking of undertaking a similar project but you delivered.
I think that as Android evolves, it is becoming more and more like iOS in terms what you can and can't customize. Thanks to John Wu for creating Magisk! He has extended the customizable life of Android.
I have been looking for a way to force my V60 in high impedance mode to get a boost in volume. There is no solution anywhere on web. I find the solution using an adapter or a cable very inconvenient. Not to mention that using them degrades the audio quality.
You have helped many of us music lovers (who have been looking for a permanent solution) by these modules. They work like charm. I haven’t found any problem so far. V60 sounds better than V50 in high impedance mode with full power of DAC.
As much as I love V60 for many reasons, the lack of triggering high impedance mode was a bummer. Now we are all set to enjoy this excellent phone from every angle.
Thanks man.
THANK YOU so much for this. works beautifully. but how did you get viper4 to work on the v60? i can't seem to figure it out
Actually it is not difficult at all. Since you have already installed the module for high impedance mode, all you need is the Viper 4. I suggest that you install this version of Viper 4. The reason is it is newer.
INSTALLATION:
1. Download the Viper 4.
2. Save it on your phone.
3. Install it as a Magisk module.
4. Reboot.
5. Once rebooted, you activate Viper by turning on the "Master limiter" in the app and configuring your desired options.
P.S.: If you don't want to add any other audio modules (like Dolby ATMOS etc.) then there is no need to install the AML module that is on this page. You can keep it (if desired) but it is not needed.
omg ur a legend! uve given me a 2 eargasms. every single guide says to install the viper4 apk... not the module... thanks again. btw which music player do you use?
Glad to know that you are enjoying the full potential of LG V60 in terms of music! I have the built-in music player that is in V60. The reason is it uses the inherent DAC in the best way. But I also have USB Player Pro.
Most of my music listening is streaming services. And V60 rocks just as much.
Please let us know should you need any help. We are a big and happy family here at XDA.
wondering if you could help me with this issue. i can't seem to get xposed edge and physical buttom master control to work on lsposed. they both install fine with no errors but they just dont work. i also have gravitybox on lsposed which does work so im not sure what the issue is
I don't use the apps that you are referring to. So I am not the right person to guide you in the right direction. However, I hope someone in the forum can help you.
Have you searched the XDA relating to your problem? Maybe it has been discussed earlier somewhere else.
yeah i figured it all out. thanks again
Awesome. Enjoy the best phone for audio listening — V60.
I`m unable to install the AML module. It says: Installation failed! Unsupported / Unknown image format. I also extracted the AML zip file with the same error message when installing. I would be very grateful if you could help me please.
Are you installing it as a Magisk module? I just tested it. It installs and works totally fine.
I`m sorry but I`m a complete noob when it comes to this. This is the very first time I do this. Where should I download Magisk app from. My Magisk app when installed has MODULES section at the bottom completely greyed out, so I cannot select it and under Magisk section up top I`ve got the following:
Installed N/A
Zygisk NO
Ramdisk YES
Under APP section:
Latest 25.2 (25200) (33)
Installed 25.2 (25200)
Package com.topjohnwu.magisk
So it looks like the Magisk app is installed, but not the Magisk itself. Where should I get the Magisk from?
You have to root your V60 that starts with unlocking the bootloader first. The process is well documented in this forum.
Thanks so much! I`ve heard about rooting, but I`ve never done it before. People say, that you might end up with a brick, if rooting process isn`t successful.
No worries.
