I am on the same firmware, works fine. You sure you did the permissions? This is not a flashable zip.

I re-uploaded the working mixer_path.xml. It seems to have been corrupted while I pushed it from my phone. Try it again.

Now the Mod works but the sound on the headspeaker is not good.
It´s a effekt like the speaker overmodulate but didn´t stop if you turn down the volume.
Thanks for the mod, it's working but the sound is very distorted and the headphone is extremely loud that despite it may damage your headset, it can seriously cause some problems to your ears.
anyway I edited the original file "mixer_paths.xml" from the official lollipop in my z1 compact and adjusted the values for a high volume with clear sound without distortion...
I changed the values under these tags:
<path name="speaker">
<path name="speaker-mic">

I agree with you, comparing to the other devices still low volume even after boosting it..
but comparing to its original sound I found this more better than never, and I am not going to say I am very satisfied but at least satisfied right now comparing to its real low original sound.
by the way I tried different values and when I tried to go higher or trying the mod in the OP, regardless the distortion of the sound in both experiences, when I play a song with maximum volume and touching the screen I felt like the screen is gonna explode because of the impact of the extreme high sound is somehow going into the device more than coming out of it, I don't know but maybe it's because of the waterproof thing this is why we're not getting the most out of the speakers.
If someone has any modifications, adjustments, additions will be more than welcome...
Thanks for sharing your feedback,
Best Regards..

Thx!
Tried only with earphones, sounds good..?
I'll check it later with speakers..
Update : I checked the speakers and it is louder .. Of course, the quality is pretty lame, but its only because we are taking our z1 compact to the limit .. Waterproof price..

Here is stock lollipop mixer_part.XML I think stock speaker volume is louder than your mod. Analyze it if there would be another better way for mod.
In a nutshell.
Stock = loud speaker, low headphones volume .
Mod files = low speaker volume but loud headphones.

I agree with you, but i'm happy with this mod. Because i only hear music with headphones.
Great mod!
after using the mod for a while, i appreciate the increase of quality in headphones, but the speaker volume "croaks" a little bit.
i noticed that with the clear audio+ enabled, the quality is little better
do you have tried other combinations of the equalizer? Opinions?

Could I get some help increasing external speaker loudness? I'm already using the M8 sound mod and the quality is great and much better than stock, just trying to make the sound louder searching I found changing the value = 75 to higher number would increase the sound but there is no effect. <path name="speaker-protected"> <ctl name="SLIM RX1 MUX" value="AIF1_PB" /> <ctl name="SLIM_0_RX Channels" value="Both" /> <ctl name="RX7 MIX1 INP1" value="RX1" /> <!-- 54 % of 124 (range 0 - 124) Register: 0x2E7 --> <ctl name="RX7 Digital Volume" value="75" /> <ctl name="COMP0 Switch" value="1" /> </path>

It worked and it looks just like the last one posted by me..witch didnt work. ) Now, that I got your attention, can you sugget how to make it play louder? The volume that comes out of it its on the same level as in a phonecall and I know it can play louder than that. When I was on MIUI and tested the earpiece via CIT menu, it had some nice volume, not comparable to the bottom spekear, but non the less, you could hear it loud and clear. If the value that I have to modify is "EAR PA Gain" value="POS_6_DB", i have already modified it into 7 (found it in 4 places in my xml). LE: there is a cracking sound comming out of the earpiece (I think), even with the first "mod" - EAR PA Gain" value="POS_6_DB . On LOS14 is the same?

Done it, volume seams to be the same and the cracking is still there, comming out from both speakers. (LE) : It appears when I exit an app which plays sound( ex. Youtube). Another LE: Comparing mixer_path from redmi note 4 to redmi 4, it seems that mine is missing these lines <!-- These are the initial mixer settings --> <ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="XX" /> <ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="XX" /> <ctl name="RX3 Digital Volume" value="XX" /> XX may be 84 Should I add it?
Cracking sound is a well-known bug in this device and still without an official patch made by Xiaomi, actually I really doubt that they will ever release such a thing. But you can try one of the patches made by the community.

Anyone have experience modifying mixer_paths_tasha.xml to increase headphone volume?
I'm working on modifying mixer_paths_tasha.xml to boost my earbuds volume and avoid having to use a volume boosting app. I'm using a set of AKG usb-c earbuds and they are not giving anywhere near the output on my PH-1 as the output on my pixel 2XL. So far I think I will need to modify the following 4 settings in 4 different path locations under /vendor/etc/mixer_paths_tasha.xml: (these are all the stock values before any modifications) <mixers> <!-- These are the initial mixer settings-->" <ctl name="RX1 Digital volume" value="84" /> <ctl name="RX2 Digital volume" value="84" /> <ctl name="HPHL Volume" value ="20" /> <ctl name="HPHR Volume" value ="20" /> <path name= "anc-headphones"> <ctl name="RX1 Digital volume" value="81" /> <ctl name="RX2 Digital volume" value="81" /> <ctl name="HPHL Volume" value ="20" /> <ctl name="HPHR Volume" value ="20" /> <path name= "voice-anc-headphones"> <ctl name="RX1 Digital volume" value="81" /> <ctl name="RX2 Digital volume" value="81" /> <ctl name="HPHL Volume" value ="20" /> <ctl name="HPHR Volume" value ="20" /> <path name= "voice-anc-fb-headphones"> <ctl name="RX1 Digital volume" value="81" /> <ctl name="RX2 Digital volume" value="81" /> <ctl name="HPHL Volume" value ="14" /> <ctl name="HPHR Volume" value ="14" /> What I am unsure of is what exactly the "initial settings" and different "paths" affect and why the volume value varies slightly between them. Anyone know if I do infact need to modify all 4 settings in all the listed locations to achieve a volume boost while using my earbuds and what values I should try switching to? I appreciate any and all help!
I found this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/guide-technical-explanation-boost-t3202087 and it gives a nice explanation of the RX vs hph. However, it does not contain any explanation about the anc-headphones, voice-anc-headphones, or voice-anc-hp- headphones paths. I ended up increasing both RX and hph volume values for each path as well as the initial values but it does not produce a noticable effect.
