Xiaomi uses good materials and components for their smartphones, so they have the best price-quality ratio. But sometimes there are problems with the speakers, both conversational and main. Fortunately for us, all these small problems are easily solved, so in this article we will look at how to increase the volume in the headphones, the volume of the speaker, etc.
Quiet volume from the speakers can be due to two reasons: mechanical damage, or a software flaw (a problem with state employees from the redmi line).
The ingress of water, dust, other small things, contamination of the speaker grill - these are all mechanical problems. They are solved accordingly mechanically (i.e., they need to be disassembled and cleaned).
Software problems can be solved different ways: using patches, or , for example. This is exactly what we will talk about.
Increase the volume in the headphones
Xiaomi phones have improved sound in headphones. If the enhancement is disabled, the sound in the headphones will be much quieter. To get these improvements you need:
Note. You do not have to select the option shown in the screenshot above. You need to turn on the music in the player, and turn them all on in turn. Leave the one that sounds best to you. It is also not necessary that the name of your headphones completely coincide with the name of the modes.
Don't forget to check the sound profiles on your phone.
Setting up an external speaker
There are several ways to increase the speaker volume:
- through engineering menu;
- changing system file settings;
- using patches.
Let's go in order. To enter the engineering menu on Android, you need to open the “Dialer” and dial one of the combinations: *#*#3646633#*#*, *#*#6484#*#* or *#*#4636#*#*. One of these codes will absolutely work. Then, look for the “Hardware” tab. There will be many items there, we need “Audio”. A list of modes will appear, pay attention to the first five. The screenshot below shows the translation:
Click the first option. Below we see the levels (Level), select Level 6. The value will be set there to 220 (the maximum you can set is 255). But you shouldn’t play with the meanings, otherwise it will be loud, but nothing is clear.
In the same menu, using the same manipulations, you can increase the volume in the headphones.
Now let's look at the system files on the smartphone. Craftsmen on w3bsit3-dns.com constantly post modified system files that can be replaced on your device, and we will get good sound.
These files can be replaced using Explorer, which has access to system files. Root Explorer is best suited.
Note 1. It is important to set permissions for the replaced files (0644 rw-r—r—).
Note 2: For these steps you needrootrights. Look for instructions for installing them specifically for your model.
And a few words about patches. A patch is a zip archive containing certain files, designed to fix problems, add modifications, etc. Simply put, do not replace files manually, or correct them by changing data, ready-made solution archived. The only negative is that patches are installed via TWRP recovery.
Installing TWRP is approximately the same, but it is better to look for instructions for specific model to avoid unexpected problems.
To install a patch, you need to download it and place it in the root of the flash card, or internal memory. Then go into recovery, select the desired patch and confirm the installation. No wipes, resets, etc. no need to do it. We just reboot the device.
Increasing the speaker volume
The best way to do this is to replace the mixer_paths.xml and mixer_paths_tasha.xml files. But for this you need root rights.
By the way, the mixer_paths_tasha.xml file can be changed manually. It is located in the system/etc folder. If you don’t find it, then use the search. So, we open the file, and we see the following inscriptions:
Instead of the values “11”, we set “16”. We save and reboot. The sound should be better.
Microphone settings
You can configure the microphone settings in two ways: with root rights, and without them. Without root rights you can disable voice search"Ok Google." In some cases this helps.
But with root rights it is more difficult. You need to solve the problem either with patches or edit the audio_platform_info.xml and build.prop files. Here are instructions about this from the official MIUI forum:
Works on redmi 5 plus, 4x, max 2, mi5, etc. devices.
Possible questions and problems
No matter how you try to increase the volume on Xiaomi, no one is immune from problems. Now we will look at the most possible problems problems that may arise as you try to improve your volume.
- The “Sound Enhancement” mode is not enabled in mi6 settings.
Let's say right away that to enable these settings, headphones must be connected. If your headphones are connected and the enhancement still does not turn on, then your headphones are not suitable. This mode works with all Xiaomi headphones (even Chinese copies). Other brands may work every other time.
- Not included in the engineering menu.
Let's start with something simple. If your Xiaomi phone is based on an MTK processor, and for some reason does not enter the engineering menu using standard methods, then download the MTK Engineering Mode program. She will help.
If you have Snapdragon processor, like on redmi note 4, but nothing works with the engineering menu, then there may be a reason in the firmware. Firstly, the firmware is custom. That is, unofficial. You need to update to the official (preferably global) firmware. Secondly, there is a beta version global firmware, the so-called “raw firmware”. Wait for the global firmware, and then everything will work out.
Well, if nothing helps at all, then you just have to accept it. The smartphone is protected from entering the engineering menu.
- After replacing/editing files, the sound disappeared altogether.
It is possible that incorrect values were entered; you need to double-check and enter the necessary numbers. You also need to check the permissions you set. The checkmarks should be in the letter "G". If it doesn’t help, then we return the old files, which we advised to save in a separate folder.
If all else fails, then you will have to flash the smartphone, or reset all settings to factory settings.
- I can't install TWRP recovery.
Read the installation instructions carefully. Installing TWRP This is done through a computer, so first of all we check all the drivers and follow further instructions.
- TWRP does not see the patch.
This can't happen. But if you don't find the patch, there are several reasons.
The first is that the patch is hidden in the Download folder, so you won't find it in the root folder. If the patch is nowhere to be found, try downloading it again, finding it in Explorer, and placing it in the root folder. Then go to TWRP and try installing the patch.
Conclusion
This concludes the article. We tried to break everything down so that it is easy for you to improve the sound of your speakers and headphones. We hope everything worked out for you, and now, quiet sound no problem for you.
Remember that you do all actions at your own peril and risk, and if you doubt something or are afraid to take any action, it is better to leave this idea.
Some smartphone owners complain that they have difficulty hearing the other person; music is played quietly through the speaker. There are several ways to increase the speaker volume on Android. Volume swing is not the only possible method.
Smartphone owners who have difficulty distinguishing the words of their interlocutor during conversations will be helped by information on how to increase the volume on Android through the engineering menu. You can adjust the volume of the speaker and headphones.
Initially, the engineering menu is hidden from users. This is explained by the fact that it is necessary only for experienced smartphone owners, who take full responsibility for possible problems with the electronic device.
The engineering menu is available only for owners of smartphones on MediaTek processor. To activate it, there are special codes that may differ depending on the brand of the device. 
You need to enter codes like a regular number or USSD request. There is another way to call up the engineering menu - using special applications.
- The most popular is MTK Engineering Mode.
- There is one more free application– “Launch the MTK engineering menu.”
The choice of method will have virtually no effect on the algorithm of actions on how to increase the volume of the speakers. After entering the engineering menu, you need to enter the MTK Settings section, then select Hardware Testing Audio. After this, a list will open consisting of 8 categories. Of these, 5 are categories for increasing or decreasing the volume of sounds.
- Normal mode. In it, the phone works constantly when no peripheral devices are connected to it.
- Headset mode, it is activated when speakers or headphones are connected.
- Speakerphone mode, Android starts using it when nothing is connected to the smartphone and the user switches to speakerphone mode when making a call.
- Headphone mode with speakerphone. The mode is activated when a person switches to loudspeaker mode with headphones connected to an electronic device.
- Volume during a call. Its activation occurs when a person is talking to someone as usual and no additional devices are connected to the phone.
In any of the above categories, when you select them, several sections will open.
- Microphone (Mic)
- The first and, in some smartphones, the second hearing speaker. (Sph, Sph2)
- Sid – changing the values of this parameter is not recommended, otherwise you can achieve the effect that a person will hear himself and not the interlocutor during a conversation.
- Media regulation. (Media)
- Adjusting the volume of incoming calls. (Ring)
- Some smartphones have a radio volume setting. (FMR)
Examples
For example, if the interlocutor practically cannot hear you, you need to increase the microphone volume.
To do this, select Mic and maximum Level, which indicates the maximum step of the volume swing, then change the values in the Value section, thereby increasing the microphone volume. After that, click Set. If the Setting success window appears, the values have been changed and you can test them.
If a person’s smartphone does not have a high volume of incoming calls, the following steps must be taken. You will need to go to the engineering menu electronic device, go to the Audio section, then go to LoudSpeaker and select Ring. After this, for each step of the volume swing you need to increase the values. It is not recommended to set it to the maximum, for example, with a maximum of 160, it is advisable to set it to no more than 156. Otherwise, the speaker will make wheezing and noise when making a call.
Finally
After any changes to the Value values, do not forget about the Set button, otherwise the actions will not be recorded and applied. Also, after applying new settings, some smartphones need to be rebooted and only then tested the new values.
Before making any changes, experienced smartphone users recommend rewriting the default values. This will allow you to return everything to its place in case of unsuccessful adjustment of the smartphone volume.

Previously, an article on how was already published on the blog. The essence of the setup was to edit the corresponding options through the engineering menu. On Xiaomi phones with Qualcomm processors Snapdragon does not have this option in the engineering menu; you can only test the speakers and microphones for functionality. For reference, the engineering menu on Xiaomi phones is called by dialing "*#*#64663#*#*" or "Settings > About phone > Kernel version (press 5 times)".
Configuration files
To increase/decrease the volume of the earpiece (loudspeaker or headphones) in Xiaomi phones, you need to directly edit the system configuration files. Obviously, to perform such actions, the phone must have . If you only need to boost the volume of your Android device's headphones or speaker, try an app that doesn't require ROOT. On the official MIUI forum you can find information that the settings responsible for the speaker volume for most Xiaomi phones are located in the file "mixer_paths.xml", which is located in the system directory "/system/etc". It was experimentally found that in Xiaomi phone Redmi 4A (MIUI 8.5.1.0 Global) these settings are located in a file with the same name, only with an additional suffix "_qrd_sku2", i.e. "mixer_paths_qrd_sku2.xml". It should be noted that the same file contains settings responsible for the sensitivity of the microphones.
File editor
For management and editing system file configurations we used and recommend to you popular file manager for Android - "ES Explorer" and the editor built into it - "ES Editor".
DO backups all system files that you are going to edit. Then, in the event of a system failure, you will be able to.
Volume settings
Loudspeaker and headphones
Loudspeaker and headphone volume up/down are combined into General settings. Find two lines at the beginning of the file "mixer_paths_qrd_sku2.xml":
To increase/decrease the volume of the speaker and headphones, increase/decrease the values of the "value" attributes. It is not recommended to set values greater than 90! Save the file and restart your phone.
Speaker (handset)
To increase/decrease the volume of the speaker (handset), find the following piece of code in the same file "mixer_paths_qrd_sku2.xml":

It is important to know
After actions to increase the volume level, there is a risk of harming the smartphone.
There are several ways to solve the problem.
You can make Xiaomi louder using the following tools:
- engineering menu;
- Recovery;
- system file.
Increase volume using Recovery
To begin with, it should be noted that To use this method, you must obtain and install custom Recovery. If this is done, you can begin the procedure to increase the volume on Xiaomi.
So, you need to download archives for a specific firmware version from the w3bsit3-dns.com website and move them to the root of the memory card. After this, you should start the smartphone in recovery mode:

In it you need to select the “Hardware” tab and go to the “Audio” item. Then a large list of various settings will open, of which we are only interested in the first five.
Go to the Xiaomi engineering menu
Will be useful
In the engineering menu you can adjust the volume level under any conditions. For example, in headphones, in a microphone, for games and music playback, etc.
The “Level” item is responsible for the volume level. You can configure the “Value” value here. Maximum – 255, minimum – 0.
