I am on the same firmware, works fine. You sure you did the permissions? This is not a flashable zip.
No sound after this mod..

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..

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?
Hey everyone, i have a problem about the microphone on my Lg G2 D802 running cm13 (latest snapshot) let me explain :
-recording ONLY audio makes absurd sounds, sizzling and distortion
-doesn't happen in calls
-whatsapp & any recording apps have that problem
-somehow it works fine recording videos
-tried an app called smart voice recorder & disabled AGC, set the factor to 1 and disabled silence skipping mode and it sounds fine
And here's the part necessary from mixer_paths file :
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="62" />
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="62" />
<ctl name="RX3 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX4 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX5 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX6 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX7 Digital Volume" value="84" />
It'd be great if someone would help. Thanks for your help in advance guys.

It kinda did but the problem is it records all outside sounds too much, so can't we change the fluence type or fluence effect range or something? I appreciate the effort though
Sorry for necroposting but i still have the problem, any suggestions?
Hi !

How can i Increase it's Sound?
Hello! I have A5 2015 edition and before update to marshmallow the battery life it was 2 days with medium utilisation. After update...max 20 hours with power save (. I want to go back to lollipop but i don t know how

Use speaker boost by Omega centauri software on play.

in a5 2016 it is like this in mixer_paths.xml,
Code:
<!-- Output volume stage -->
<!-- media playback volume -->
<path name="gain-media-handset">
<ctl name="S2801 MIX1_LVL" value="0" />
<ctl name="DAC Gain" value="128" />
<ctl name="Earphone Volume" value="8" />
</path>
<path name="gain-media-speaker">
<ctl name="S2801 MIX1_LVL" value="0" />
<ctl name="DAC Gain" value="130" />
<ctl name="Speaker Volume" value="9" />
</path>
but nothing changed when i change the value, it doesn't sound louder, i tried up to 190 for dac gain & upt to 18 for speaker volume value
there is also a mixer_.paths_rev08.xml and i edited that one also but no luck.
I hope someone finds it because i am not used to have a phone with no volume mod It's no use to install an app that give a boost to play music or media louder inside the app itself because that does not make alarm or incoming calls louder (etc)
Try this.

Hey guys, so after rooting, no matter how much I edit these values in the mixer_paths.xml (in systems/etc) my phones headphone volume remains the same:
<ctl name="HPHL Volume" value="20" /> (originally 9)
<ctl name="HPHR Volume" value="20" /> (originally 9)
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="85" /> (originally 84)
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="85" /> (originally 84)
Has anyone had any luck with increasing their volume on a Nokia 5?
Cheers
I am just looking into it myself. First thing I didn't like is that there are over 20 files named "Mixer_paths_*something*.xml", unlike my last KK phone. Clearly the settings for various things have been spread through various files. There is a lot of crap in Nougat that is worse than what it was in KK, and this is just one of those things they insist on calling "progress".
Anyway, the section you post isn't the right part of the file to change settings for this, at least it wasn't in KK days. That's "initial mixer settings" section, and we need "headphones" or "speaker" section. But the problem is this:
<path name="speaker">
<ctl name="RX3 MIX1 INP1" value="RX1" />
<ctl name="SPK" value="Switch" />
</path>
That "Switch" value was a NUMBER, which we used to change and therefore obtain louder sound. I have no idea what value is given to "Switch" variable and where to find it, but that's what needs to be changed. Maybe.
Unless the right setting is in one of the other files, in which case we have to edit 30-odd files... which I'll try if I have to, when I have the time.
There are actually 20 variously named "mixer_paths" files, and editing ALL OF THEM makes no difference. Viper4Arise installs and runs, but makes no change to the sound at all.
I suspect that another equalizer is running and preventing us from getting a higher volume. Some people mention "MusicFX" and Dolby, but neither of them show up in my dock or list of apps.
I tried uninstalling Dolby through Titanium, but it says it can't find the apk file. Renaming 17 or so files with "Dolby" in the name causes the bootloop.
So I don't know. I don't have much hope for a solution, this isn't a very popular phone at all.
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.
