The command to locate mixer paths right at the beginning of the video

OK, so I'm reading that you don't really help people. It's understandable since you don't have the device yourself it's very hard for you to know how to make it work. I'll keep searching and making edits. If anybody else wants to help me out here and maybe just take a look at my edits and can see where I went wrong, I would appreciate any pointers.
Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the tutorial. I'm having a bit trouble, was hoping if anybody could help me figure it out if I'm doing something wrong.
"mixer_paths_idp" is the original and "att1_mixer_paths_idp" is my attempt.
When I flash this with a Magisk Module, no sound comes out. Would appreciate it if someone can point out where I made a mistake
If you need more info from me if you want to help, just let me know

I rarely help people because it took me for each device 3 to 4 days, so I made a tutorial on how to find the right mixer and where to look and what to look for...-------------EDIT------------

Hoping it would actually help people, I changed all my works into what I call as examples and samples for people to understand and learn from...
My magisk template may even be outdated, because I'm hoping it's easy to just grab the new magisk template and copy the script from my template into the new one but I'm still around to maintain the thread...
Now about your issue, why are you modifying 2 mixers...? Did you confirm that both affect the device by removing them individually...?

Yeah I've checked your examples. I took a look at the Samsung Snapdragon Note 8 and your edits seem to be almost exactly as you described in your video, with only one extra edit. Even with that, doesn't work for me
I'm not modifying 2 mixers, I attached 2 files on my post so that people can see my edits. "mixer_paths_idp.xml" is my original, unmodified file and "att1_mixer_paths_idp.xml" is my attempt at the modification.
This is for a Galaxy A71, Snapdragon 730.
Hello! is it possible to make this mod on mi note 10 / pro. I will attach the files. will suddenly be needed to determine a successful result

Mi note 10 pro - Google Drive
Hello, have you modified it successfully? Can you provide me with a modified file? I also use Xiaomi device, but it's k30pro (poco F2 Pro). In some cases, my phone has no sound after modification. I don't know if you have this problemI just did, your tutorial is amazingi tried with one of the mixers and didn't work To identify the correct mixer I'm unable to rename the files as said in the tutorial. Root explorer says the file is i use. Any solution to this?
Hello! Is the 2nd type of mixers (From Youtube) solved yet?Hello Everyone,
I hope you all are great...
I used to make DualSpeaker SoundMods and now I sharing my knowledge, make your own SoundMod and be a Hero
This MOD is safe as long you make sure you change permissions of the file to 644 (rw- r-- r--) & set Earpiece volume to safe limits...
Please Read:
--- Keep in mind, your Device Kernel has a major role for the SoundMod, in other words, Kernel is able to utilize smoothly allowing full DualSpeaker or fails at some points which gives partial DualSpeaker or completely fails which you don't get DualSpeaker at all...
--- Custom Kernels that are modified at Sound Parts might affect my SoundMods, preventing it from Working (read Q&A)...

NOTICE: Exynos & Snapdragon Devices:
- Exynos devices are easier to make due to that they use 2 mixer files, mixer_paths.xml and mixer_gains.xml, sometimes (only mixer_paths.xml)...
- Kirin/Snapdragon devices takes long time since there are multiple mixer files that each phone use, unless you're lucky and it's only few like one or two mixers, yet they will require many tests, I'm willing to go that road but are you willing the same...?
I no longer take requests, but I can now assist in teaching you and everyone else how to make your own dualspeaker soundmod... If you succeed in making the dualspeaker, kindly share your work for others aside from that, this thread will contain and support more devices... All credits are yours...
How to install?
--- You have 3 ways to install the MOD:
- You manually copy the files from archive "Manual" into the path of mixers and change permissions to 644 (rw- r-- r--)...
- You flash TWRP, if TWRP freezes then reboot, it means Wrong TWRP was flashed, TWRP will create a backup for your current Mixers saved in the same mixers location...
- You can just install Magisk...
How to revert?
--- You have 2 ways to revert back to Original:
- You manually copy the files from archive "Original" into the path of mixers and change permissions to 644 (rw- r-- r--) or if you flashed TWRP, then check if backup exists "mixername.xml.bak0", if you found it, delete "mixername.xml" and rename the "mixername.xml.bak0" to "mixername.xml" make sure permissions are still 644 (rw- r-- r--)...
- You can use the TWRP file to flash the Original/Backup mixers by simply replacing/swapping the files inside it (do not touch folder META-INF)...

LAST IMPORTANT NOTICE:
This MOD can be used with Equalizers, even though this MOD sets the phone to the loudest balanced volume gain...
Using Equalizers might cause crackles and noise which damage your earpiece & speaker if you don't fix it, to fix it either you adjust the other MOD settings by reducing the boost
or Adjusting my MOD by Opening the mixer file I tell you and adjust the volume I mention for you decreasing it, you must eliminate all crackles and noises...

I don't recall much ever since I made this thread into a DIY to be honest with you...
But as I recall, the steps for snapdragon were to locate the mixer, once that is done, apply the modifications required to the paths, then locate the earpiece (depending on the name) make a copy and apply all the values inside it at the top, locate the speaker and add the earpiece path that you copied and you're done
I have a moto g7 power with Havoc OS 4.10 A11 rom installed, rooted with twrp/magisk.
I've been trying to make the phone speaker louder for watching movies. Any viper4android or James DSP don't help it much unless headphones are used. When I edit mixerpath values from 84 to anything higher, upon reboot the device acts really buggy and volume doesn't change. Please help!!!

Because I haven't done this in a very long time, and things changed a lot, all you can do is trial and error till it works, in other words, first 84 changed made things laggy, put it back 84, change something else and so on
Hello everyone, Thank you for your effort, Is there any way to make dual speaker for realme 6 pro Android 11? Also what file should we use, and what mixer path should use? There are two mixer paths, in \vendor\etc and there are another one in \system\vendor\etc, I'll leave you a screenshots

Follow the guide steps, since the file names never changed, the DIY logic is the same
Hey dante63, I have trouble getting the module to do its job, it doesnt want to replace the files, I've tried your template and many other like the one zackptg offers and from youtube. I attached the magisk, it shows that the directory is non existent. Also is it possible to replace the mixer file directly with twrp, so i dont have to go through all this trouble, i am freaking frustrated man. Please help

Try to make your own magisk module/twrp flash file with the video tutorial1
You can search github:Yea I did. Where do I het the latest template?
I've got another question, is it possible to set a maximum volume for the earpiece? Like for example, when my main speaker is at 40% the earpiece is 40%, but when my main speaker is 100%, the earpiece is still at 40% or limited to a certain volume. Because I'm happy with the volume balance between the earpiece and the speaker so I don't want to turn down the earpiece value in mixer_gains.xml, but the earpiece is dangerously loud when the volume is >80%. At least by limiting the earpiece volume, I still get a balanced sound between the two drivers at lower volumes.
Or if it's not possible, then how do I lower the maximum overall volume? It would lower the main speaker's max volume, but it still would have louder total volume if you add up the earpiece.
Thanks in advance!I'll send you the mod for my phone after I've perfected it so that others could use it too.
Edit: I've attached the mixer files I've edited so far
Find a template and use it as a reference or use it itself...
Or create it yourself
https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk-module-installer
as @topjohnwu has made it DIY...
As for your question, you can set the earpiece volume to safe level without affecting the speaker volume, but lowering the speaker volume will affect the sound quality, wouldn't make sense, you could try combining it with another sound mod but first, make sure your module is working, after that test different sound mods with yours till you find what you need... -

Current Complaints:
--- None...
Confirmed & Conclusions:
--- LG G Pad X V521 has only one speaker at the bottom, only thing I can do is boost the sound, requester appreciated my offer and passed...
--- Xiaomi redmi 4 is a very low end, after 16 tests I can finally reach to a conclusion the device is not supported as the mixer files is missing many lines of codes, adding those lines cause issues with kernel as it seems kernel doesn't support these lines or maybe I am wrong & can't see where the problem is at...22(07/04/2019)

View More back to (16/01/2018)16Q & A - SoundMod
What's this SoundMod...?
--- Enabling DualSpeaker/PseudoStereo by using the earpiece and balancing as much as possible with the speaker,
but keep in mind that if the earpiece specs are low, the sound would come low, so I won't lower the speaker volume, the purpose of this Mod is to enable the earpiece to the max volume possible with a slight boost to the phone speaker without damaging them...
My Device Kernel has a Major Role, SoundMod isn't Guaranteed...?
--- Not necessarily, Kernel reads from the modified mixers and tries to utilize the speaker & earpiece, failing to do so will result no output sound, the probability of success is as follows (in my Opinion):
- Low-End-Devices: 20 to 25% success in getting Partial DualSpeaker, 5% for full DualSpeaker...
- Mid-Range-Devices: 60 to 75% success in getting Partial DualSpeaker, 30% for full DualSpeaker...
- High-End-Devices: 100% success in getting Partial DualSpeaker, 95% for full DualSpeaker...
Wait, I understand "No DualSpeaker at all", but what do you mean Full & Partial DualSpeaker...?
--- Let's start with the Partial DualSpeaker: The phone sometimes will be using both speakers and sometimes only the bottom speaker depending on the software audio_policy sent to the kernel and interact with the hardware, Full DualSpeaker means both speakers are used always regardless the audio_policy...
is it Possible somehow the "Partial DualSpeaker" becomes Full DualSpeaker...?
--- So Far, All the devices I put my hands on, I managed to make them from Partial to Full, takes some time and requires patience...
I have a Custom Kernel installed, will that be a Problem...?
--- That might be a problem, especially if the Sound Part was Modified, the MOD might not work or have issues...
Do different Android versions have the same SoundMod...?
--- Not necessarily, because first the path of the mixer files change and there is a chance the structure of the mixer file has changed, so make sure you are using the right Android version and if it's not there request it, (read how to request a mod from my thread & mention your request is because of different android version, Ex: (Samsung Note 8 Exynos Android Oreo, Nougat is already Created in your thread)...
How safe is it...?
--- It's very safe as long you change the file permissions to 644 (rw- r-- r--), if you forgot to change them, you might end up in a bootloop, if that happens, in your custom recovery you'll need to go to the files and change their permissions via file manager, or your phone boots up but muted completely (Sound input & output Disabled)...
Can I go Back...?
--- Yes if you backed up, and if you didn't, let me know and I'll see if I have the original mixers...
And if you used TWRP, you'll find the Backup in same path, mixers ending with ".bak0", unless you flashed twice then your Original Mixers have been overwritten...
Is it Mono/Stereo...?
--- Depends on the hardware specs, Some are Mono only, Some are Stereo, if you want to know, there are many Apps on the Play Store that does Sound Tests: simply type "stereo test" and select the app you want, most phone by default play sounds stereo and as result you'd hear the earpiece producing sound from one channel (L) & Speaker from two channels (L & R), if I disable the Left channel from the speaker to make it sound real stereo surround you'll lose sound Volume, Gain and Quality because the earpiece isn't strong enough to compensate the disabled L channel of the speaker, if you insist, I'll see if I have time to have a look and make you the MOD, It's just I don't waste my time on Lowering Sound Volume, Gain and Quality...
Can I use it with other Equalizers/Amplifiers...?
--- Most Likely No, Because if there is a slight Noise/crackles in the speaker, on long run they will be damaged...
But if you really want to, I'll mention which lines you need to modify for the volume, simply lower the values to eliminate any Noise/crackles...
What about other SoundMods...?
--- Depends on the MOD, if it's targeting the same mixers, then there will be a RACE on who applies config & last MOD applies is the Winner...
If it's not targeting the mixers, then I'd answer you similarly to previous Question...
Why Include all files that have the word "mixer"...?
--- Some Devices have multiple Mixers but uses only one of them, such as Samsung, Different variants use different mixers, not confirmed yet though...
Can I have special requests...?
--- Depends on your request, if the request is simple, I'll direct you to the lines to modify to achieve your request, if it's complicated, I'll find time to do them...
What do I have to report...?
--- VERY IMPORTANT to report the Noise/Crackles because they damage the earpiece/speaker on long run or no sound coming at certain action done...
Also, Any weird behavior such as mic issues or volume level or phone muted at some apps...
