was looking around mixer_paths.xml and i see it has changed from what i'm used to with the lg g2. i dont see a section that specifically has "headphones". i'm trying to increase the headphone volume. does anyone know which area of the mixer_paths needs to be changed to increase volume? i tried increasing "speaker and headphones" rx7 (because that's what was used to increase volume on the g2) but after a reboot i dont notice any increase. any help would be appreciated.
i figured it out. use a text editor that has root and navigate to system/etc. open up mixer_paths.xml. scroll down to the section "play scenario". in that section you'll see "path name="headset". in headset section you'll see rx1 and rx2 digital volume. change the values to what you want up to 100. i have mine at 88. at 88 i can keep the volume around 60% and it is loud with no distortion. so now i dont have to max out the DAC in the phone to get high volume.
if you want to do the speaker do the same steps above for the section "path name="speaker"" and change the rx7 digital volume value.
hope this helps others.

i use 920 text editor. make sure you go into settings and enable "try to run as root" so that it can save.

Quick question...
As the title suggests, my device's lowest volume setting is still too loud if I want to listen to something in the background or want to take a snooze. Is there a way to either add more volume levels or lower the value of the levels? I'm running JPK and it's rooted.
Cheers.
download and install this

it should work with the BETA froyo
Thanks, but I already have Sound Manager installed, which does the same thing as Audio Manager, but has a cleaner interface and more control options. The problem is that neither of them do what I want... the lowest volume is still too loud.
I need to somehow adjust the increment value in code or add more increments to give me finer control.
Did you ever receive an answer on your volume issue. I have a galaxy 4G with the same issue and no one has answers?
Use voodoo control app from market, it adjust the analog amplifier.

Yes voodoo would be the best for you its just amazing....install it and you will love it....it makes your phone to the best mp3-player you can buy for money
Yep, use a kernel with voodoo sound. Or buy Supercurio's app in the market and support his work. The app gives you the option to adjust the analog gain, if the volume is too loud all you have to do is lower the gain and problem solved

Mp3's have terrible sound, you should consider ripping/downloading your music in .flac .

I would be interested too, if you actually could increase given by the speaker, would be much better

Not sure if I understand, what I meant is certain video files have a low volume, so it is sometimes required to increase the volume beyond the maximum android limit of 15..
search for audioboost on the market
One I've used myself and it works well.
To make the volume louder you need to:
Dialer *#*#197328640#*#*
[5] AUDIO
[1] HANDSET
[1] VOLUME
[1] SRC Speech RX Volume
[5]5_lvl : 88
Menu -> Key Input
Change to any number greater than 88 (Max:100)
Can anyone help increase the volume of my z3c using mixer paths, the other mixerpaths.xml floating around on the cross device development board doesnt work with the z3c, i lose all sound.
I have edited the mixerpaths myself, but i find that the only volume that increase are the dialing tones and system sounds, NOT any music or youtube videos.
i need the extra volume for podcasts when im in the bath
I have just switched from cm13 to miui8 downloaded from xiaomi.eu on mi3. As speaker volume is low, which file in /system/etc shall i edit in order to get increased volume??

Let’s face it. Even at max volume, sometimes the speaker on your phone just isn’t loud enough (Yes, I’m looking at you Nexus 5). *However, you*could digitally raise the maximum volume that the speaker allows itself to go to. This will require a rooted android device and could run the risk of damaging your speakers if you go too high, so be warned.
What You will Need:
A rooted Android DeviceES File Explorer
Step 1: Mounting the System
Open up ES file explorer and enable the root explorer. *Then tap on the root explorer tab and a menu will pop up. *Select the Mount R/W tab and mount both*system and /*as*r/w.
[http://www]*[http://www]*[http://www]
Step 2: Locating the mixer_paths.xml
Now, navigate to*/System/etc*and open up the*mixer_paths.xml*with ES note editor. *Before you start making changes, go up into the settings and select*edit*on the file.
[http://www]
Step 3: Changing the Speaker Volume
To change the speaker volume, look for the line*RX7 Digital Volume*under the*Path name= Speaker*and change the value to whatever you desire. *(Going over 95 has the potential of blowing your speaker though).
[http://www]
Step 4: Changing the Headphone Volume
To change the headphone volume, *look for the lines:
<ctl name=”HPHL Volume” /
<ctl name=”HPHR Volume” />
Change the values to 20. *Don’t go beyond 20. *You can also change the RX1 and RX2 values to something like 85, once again, don’t go beyond 95.
[http://www]
Afterwards,*reboot*and you should notice an increase in volume. *Feel free to play around with the other volume settings found in the mixer_paths.xml, just make sure you have a backup and not to blow out your speaker! Android Boost speaker volume success!

I followed the same source..but its not working..it used to work with cm13...
Hi. I am editing the file mixer_gains.xml to increase the sound of the speaker and there is no way to increase or decrease the sound, the same sound level always comes out. It does not work editing the file.
Any other secret file to increase or decrease the sound level?
It should work, Check you have the correct access so the file is saved.
Which exact values are you changing?
