Tab S sound Boost, cannot find Mixer paths xml file? Help needed

I love my tab S and maybe this is the best screen I've seen my whole life.
But one thing bothers me that, I've been using the s and note devices from past 3 years, one thing I always did was Boost the sound for Speaker and the Headphone in the Mixer paths xml file.
I've searched this tab for a similar file and have got absolutely nothing.
Any good developer please help me out, if you can find that for it would be a great help

Yes, this was a great help, but I am not able to understand what I have to increase in that file
To be specific I want my Earpiece (in call), headphones, and Speaker (both in call and music one) boosted
Can you help me with that?

You could install my ROM and use the DSP manager, it also uses mixerpaths though a more serious answer is look at the comments it should point u in the right direction.

I was just searching but couldn't find the right direction, actually M reluctant to move to Cm I don't like touchwiz but I want a fully functional stock ROM, saw the comments section couldn't make it what were you telling my friend
Can you please consider me a noob and help me out? :angel:

you can edit default_gain in system/etc

I thought xml edit only applied to CM/AOSP/GPe roms.

OP, did this end up working out for you?

I've attached some screen shots to what you need to modify to increase your external speakers along with headphones.
You'll need Root Explorer or equivalent.
Let me know if it helped.

It's best to raise the digital volume it sounds less distorted ...my setting are +12 to all digital volumes and sounds great

I have tried that and multiple others. Some work well, some dont.
None have given me what I am looking for which it the ability to boost things like system volume, notification volume, etc. Still looking for a way to do that.
The best that I can accomplish is boosting media volume via a music or video player. If that is all you are looking for then the equalizer and bass booster will work fine.

Enhance volumes on speakers and headhpones in (nougat) (root) .376

I have edit mixer path to have more volume out from speakers and headhpones
Backup original file from
/etc (file) mixer_paths.xml
And copy this one to there... then chance permission to rw-r--r--
The file will overwrite itself whit the one located also on
/System/etc
If you dont do it this way for some reason you may have some sort of problems where some app doesn't hear and video lags
Reboot then your set... enjoy and please hit the thaks bottom

Hey mate,
I've just finish to replace my file with yours. After a reboot, it worked very well, I've notice a very good enhance volume on my headphone. (I was testing this at work so I couldn't test the speakers.
Thanks mate !

@kristijan15 Hi mate,
I've noticed this morning, when the sound is very low, there are some Sizzling sounds when I play some music, I've tried with two pair of earphones so maybe it's because something isn't properly adjusted ?

Check it out, but every build is changing the structure mixer_paths.xml.
You can edit the file yourself mixer_paths.xml in its sole discretion.

Stereo MOD possible?

Any talented dev in here who could accomplish a stereo mod for the MI 9 SE by using the earpiece as second speaker?
There are already MODs for the MI 8 e.g.

I can attempt it. But I'm going to need some files from your mi 9 se which requires root. If you have root. Please give these files :
mixer_path_mtp.xml
mixer_payh_tavil.xml
It's ok if you only have one of the above.

It's a bit hard to find the lines to edit, in the earpiece section, change RX0 Digital Volume. But you also have to change RX0 Digital Volume on the upper page is the file. I'll attach some screenshots.

Here they are

thanks, man.
but i have to say.. the upper speaker is barely listenable.. it's just a little bit of support.. no real volume. perhaps it's just not potentional enough

I just copied the settings from the earpiece. So it's obviously not going to be loud. I have to wait for my phone to be repaired and flash a custom rom again. So I can do more testings. It was confirmed working by a friend of mine, I didn't conduct any testings in person, so I don't know how it sounds.

well, i can confirm it works fine on EvoX rom, sounds good

Thanks friend!
I'll be certainly flashing this ?

Too loud because the rom's default earpiece volume is 91. I had to manually decrease it to 85 in mixer_paths

In the rom I'm using(Evolution X), the xx value is 91 so it might be different from yours

dont spread wrong info please
dec1 volume is not related to earpiece volume,its related to mic reciever that how well it recieves audio from different distance
it is no way going to effect output audio
if u really want to increase earpiece volume
edit rx1 digital volume value upto 91(safe limit)
2)installing okk dosent mean its working
first check if the audio really coming from earpiece??

Thanks, works fine on latest Evo, good job :good:

How is it wrong information? DEC1 is related to earpiece volume and like i said, this is on Evolution X rom so i don't know if it differs from other roms, even the developer himself that I work with in testing is confirming this. Do some research before accusing people

i m 100% sure about what i said
no more arguement,not going to waste my reply for winning in arguement

Those seem pretty high compared to presets. Yo really changed them to 229/209?
Is there a certain sequence of numbers you have to use, i.e., what made you choose those numbers?

I think I've found a solution. I'm still on pie but I couldn't edit any vendor files within android. So I copied mixer_gains.xml to my internal storage, editet it and replaced it with the twrp recoverys file manager. Of course you need to make sure that vendor can be written.
Just for your safety, take a backup of the edited file or a full vendor backup.
