How to increase speakers volume of Mi5

[yorikkk]

Hi guys,

I'm on Xiaomi.eu Stable 7.2.13.0 rom and it is a pretty stable and good rom. The only problem with it for me is the low speakers volume.
Checked some guides around and found a solution that "fixed" that issue for me at least. The sound is way more loud while still clear.

Steps -
1. Must be rooted
2. Download ES File Explorer
3. Open app
4. On the left side tap Root Explorer
5. Press Mount R/W
6. On /system change the blue circle to RW and press OK
7. Tap Homepage and choose device
8. Press etc
9. Find and press mixed_paths.xml
10. When asked choose ES Note editor
11. Scroll down until you find Path Name - "Speaker" (was close to the end for me)
12. Tap the Pencil button
13. Change "RX7 and 8 Digital Volume" value = " to 95 (should be 84 by default)
14. Press back and when asked choose YES (to save)
15. Go back to root explorer, press Mount R/W and change /system back to RO
16. Reboot
17. You should have louder speaker now

You can change it back to default later if you want....

Tested on the rom i stated, no problems for me

I've tried this guide on my Mi5 (Xiaomi.eu Weekly 6.10.13 rom) - But no changes of sound in the internal speaker.
Could somebody confirm this guide works in MIUI8 and mentioned ROMs?
Thanks in advance

The config file is the same, so is the required modifications.

I'm not sure if you tried it, but from my experience it didn't work for me on MUI 8.

I did and it works. This base volume management is governed by the base Android version, which should be identical over the same major versions (could be compatible with other major versions, too. But no guarantee). MIUI 7 & 8 for Mi 5 only differs in patch (6.0 vs 6.0.1), so for this one they're the same.

I only find the file mixer_paths_tasha.xml and making the settings of post 1, it does not work

i followed another solution in this forum, you have to overwrite the mix_patch files from the china rom to our global rom. This is the link
