Modifying mixer_paths.xml to increase headphone and BT volume? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello,
in MIUI 9.5.13.0 Global ROM i found mitxer_parths.xml in /vendor/etc and also found Volume configuration settings in lines beginning from 1842 for handset (should be the upper handset speaker volume) and headphone beginning on line 1897.
Also, basic volume settings are given in lines beginning with 339 ff...
I didnĀ“t find any special settings for bluetooth volume though... my impression is that the volume via BT is quite low compared to other devices... does anybody know how that can be boosted?

How to control the headset volume?

Hello,
been searching/investigating this problem for a while and still can't find a solution.
basically, when using the stock wired headset, I find the volume during a phone call far too loud and not loud enough when listening to mp3s / radio.
when in a call, using the volume button does not seem to make any difference.
any suggestions?
thanks in advance
Go to your music tab in Manila/TouchFlo. From the menu you can choose Audio Booster. This could solve your problem with the not loud enough mp3.
For the phone "too loud" problem you can go to the settings tab -> Sound. There you have two volume controls; Ringtone and System. Lowering the system could solve your problem. But lowering using the touch volume button (as your stock headset doesn't has volume controls if i'm right), should lower the sound during a phone call.
You can push the volume buttons on the left side of the phone. Problem with this is it jumps in big increments.
But it'll also change the volume of your ringtones as well. So what you can do is:
Settings tab -> Sound -> Turn "Single Volume" off
Now when pressing the hardware key, you'll see it bring up System & Ring Tabs. So you can control your music volume without changing the ringtone volume

I forget to mention this, thanks charlie
I have the following issue myself:
Regardless how set up (single volume on/OFF, System volume set to 20% or 100%) my in-call volume of voice, once the call has started is extremely LOUD, regardless of who calls and how loud they speak.
This is even more so, if I'm using the wired headset.
Using the side volume buttons during a call do show the volume animation AND the volume bar goes down, but the actual in-call volume doesn't change a bit.
This is maddeningly loud.
Is this how it should be working?
I have stock 6.5 ROM (WWE), no hacks.
Same problem here...
... any solutions?
I have single volume turned off, and regardless if I try to turn down "ring" or "system" volume, the headset stays extremely (uncomfortably) loud...
Cheers,
Jan
Having the same problem. Is there a fix?
Not sure if Volumex fixes it on the TP2, but on my TP1 and HD2 no such problem.
i have the same problem. Volumex doens't fix it.
It's incredible that there is no solution for this stupid problem.

My stock headset has a volume control, I gather yours doesn't have this feature?
no i haven't this features..
however i found the possible solution (it work for me), searching in other topic of this forum.
You mast edit the file audiopara3_TMO.csv (windows folder, it is hidden so you must use an explorer which allows to see the system hidden file like resco explorer).
basically you have in this file these lines:
F0,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL0,0,4000,4000,0,4000,C8,0,2000,0,780,FF9A,2580..
F1,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL1,1,4000,4000,0,4000,1F4,0,2000,0,780,FF9A...
F2,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL2,2,4000,4000,0,4000,5DC,0,2000,0,780,FF9A...
F3,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL3,3,4000,4000,0,4000,1388,FFFF,2000,0....
F4,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL4,4,4000,4000,0,4000,2EE0,FFFF,2000,...
F5,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL5,5,4000,4000,0,4000,61A8,FFFF,2000...
the most important value is the sixth (in hexadecimal) which is the volume value. if you use the volume level on the left side of the phone the volume of the the headset changes according the value reported in this file. I edit these values according to my "ears" ranging between c8(volume=200) and 61A8(volume=25000), and i clearly feel the change in the volume when i use the headset (you need an hex-decimal converter, there are several online)
actually (as suggested in other topic) you must point in the registry editor to this file, creating the value
HKLM\drivers\builtin\wavedev\AcousticFile and set this value to \windows\AudioPara3_TMO.csv (or rename the file as u want but with extention csv)
After editing soft reset.
In this file there are the other volume values for calls without headset, with the bt, and with the carkit. these values are in the lines
F6,PHONE_HANDSFREE_VOL0...
F12,PHONE_EARCUPLE_VOL0...
F18,PHONE_BTHEADSET...
F19,PHONE_CARKIT.
i suppose that to change the volume values on must changes the sixth parameter as in the previous case.
This works for me, and solve the problem.

I know this is probably stating the obvious, but if you press the volume button and you see the volume bar you can always adjust it to your liking by swiping your finger up and down on the volume bar. This way you can get the inbetween volumes between too loud and too low.

How to unlink Bluetooth and system volume on nougat

Helllo experts,
I have just upgraded OP3 to nougat.
One feature of nougat I dont like is :linking system and Bluetooth volume.
Please give a solution to unlink both volumes. So that I can change both volumes separately either one from Bluetooth headset and one from system. Or both from system.
Reason I want: I want my Bluetooth device volume to highest level. This gives me bass sound more.
And if I increase volume now from Bluetooth headset or from android system (mobile) both volume increases and shows as single volume on screen. Keeping volume to highest level gives me too much volume. I want more bass at less volume. Which can be possible if I keep bluetooth headset volume high. And system volume low/medium(adjustable).
Please can some one resolve this. This feature (a problem for me) depreciate my music listening experience.
I don't have this phone.
The option is called "Disable absolute volume" and it is located in Developer options on my phone.

Question lowest volume is too loud on rooted OOS OP9P

Hello
The lowest possible speaker volume is too loud when listening to anything, Sirius or iHeart. My previous OP7P's volume was lower for the first volume setting.
Is there anything I can do to lower the decibels a bit?

Did you install the dolby atmos mod or viper4android?
Is this over wired usbc headphones, bluetooth, or the speaker?
There is a Bluetooth volume control in developer settings if it's bluetooth/headphone related.
The atmos or viper4android mods can make the volume a lot louder. I go turn my atmos from custom back to voice or movie.
It may help to post what version of android you're using and if you're rooted, for more help
Thank you App
I mentioned my op9p that, yes I'm rooted.
I'm on A112 and did install the Dolby mod you helped me with in another thread.
I am referring to the volume of the phone's speaker as I listen to Sirius, for example.

I must have missed it. I didn't recognize the name but try changing your dolby atmos setting to another preset setting or turn off "volume leveler" or "dialogue enhancer" and see how it sounds then
Thank you App
That did it. It was the volume leveler setting, I think.

Happy to help! Sorry I didn't recognize your name from the other thread or I would have said try that before asking about your viper/dolby.
I asked because I had the exact same issue. I was laying down with my kids like 'damn, this is awfully loud for volume 1' . I remembered the Dolby install earlier that day and that was my issue.
It's good to know it worked the same on a11 and a12 for future people wondering the same thing.
I had something similar happen on Viper on an older phone with my aux cable, it would sound distorted until adjusted in viper but only in my car aux. Not wired headphones or bluetooth
