[FIXED!][Redmi Note 4 SD] Bad audio in videos and bad in call audio quality

In first place I would like to thank user Miroslav, author of this Youtube guide on how to fix this problem con 4x user DartJabba9 for providing the very first flashable zip and Zile995 for keeping up with the hard work!
This is the latest version: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73914743&postcount=188
Just flash with TWRP and enjoy!

Is it possible to create a flashable zip?

Honestly I don't know how. Could someone help us?

I can confirm it's working. I just replaced the two system files you suggested, using Root Explorer. I set the permissions, replaced, rebooted.
Sound is definitely better when recording music, but one must use the front microphone as audio source (can be found in the settings of HI-Q MP3 Recorder, and other audio recording software I guess).

See the attached. It works for me, but, as usual, all disclaimers apply.
BTW: this does not include any changes to build.prop, since the OP says that the change to build.prop should not be done.

In-Call low mic volume

Well my major problem is in-call low mic volume. I have to literally shout at phone to make other person understand what I say. As stated in the description of given video guide, is there a way to fix in-call voice quality?
My current settings, might fix your in call voice quality:
For handset-mic put DEC1 at 96 and DEC2 at 0 (DEC2 is noise cancelling upper mic, I think).
For "handset-stereo-dmic-ef" put "DEC1 Volume" value="105" and "DEC2 Volume" value="105" for higher recording signal.
In build.prop, change these:
ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluence persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true persist.audio.fluence.voicerec=false persist.audio.fluence.speaker=false

Well, I don't know how to help you. I took a month to solve the problem of bad audio because I'm a newbie and I don't know anything about Android. But, in some ways, I managed to solve that problem. Luck I guess

I don't really understand. I just got my Redmi today. Does the Redmi have a bad audio recorder? So it means people I call with experience a bad audio quality from my part? And this fixes it?

No. It means that, depending on your ROM, trying to record some kinds of audio with the phone's microphone may not produce the best quality recording.

No, I did it manually.

1 - Does this method work for Note 4X?
2 - Just I flash this zip in the twrp of my Note 4X to solve the audio problems in the recording, right?
3 - I have the xiaomi.eu weekly version, whenever I manually install an update, will I have to flash this "fix" again?

No media sound at all SGS8 (SM-G950F)

Hey everyone! I am new here and not really experienced, that's why i really need your help with the following:
I've rooted my device with TWRP & Magisk (by following this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbFDv8Ii7PM)
Everything went smooth without any problems.
After that I tried to install Viper4android and that's where the trouble starts.
(I followed this guide to install Viper4android: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/root-install-viper-android-galaxy-s8-s8-t3596933)
Now I do have it installed but any media sounds do not work at all on any app with or without headphones.
Rebooting or factory resetting does nothing.
My guess that it's something with audio_effects.conf or soundAlive_51 but can't know for sure.
Please help a desperate soul out :fingers-crossed:
Edit1: Interesting... media sounds works if i listen to music via chrome for example, also it seems that it works with games and audio files that are locally on the device, so basically sound doesnt work with youtube and spotify (the ones that actually matter) help?

...

what a nice helpful people here... smh

I'm having the same issue I think. Tried to flash viper, but it didn't work, so I re-enabled soundalive. It has been working fine for several weeks, but suddenly media sounds have stopped. I still get text message alerts etc, but no sound using youtube, or VLC media player playing local files. If you find a solution, please post it.

Media sound not work

[MOD][Guide] Enable Dual Speaker On Redmi Note 4

Hi Guys,
READ THE THREAD CAREFULLY
So I Have Modded The mixer_paths_mtp.xml File Present On The Resurrection Remix ROM And I Was Able To Enable Dual Speakers While Playing Music.
Just Go To The Links Down Below, Download The File You Want, Replace The Downloaded mixer_paths_mtp.xml To System/Etc And Set Permission To rw-r-r And Then Reboot. For Oreo The Path Is System/Vendor/Etc
Note :
1. Before Doing, Take A Backup Of Your Current mixer_paths_mtp.xml So That You Will Be Able To Go Back To Normal If Something Happens.
2. I Only Tested It With Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 Final ROM. So If You Want To Try It On Other ROMs, First Back Up mixer_paths_mtp.xml Then Download And Replace The File To Root/System/Etc For Nougat. And For Oreo Replace The File To Root/System/Vendor/Etc. Also Don't Forget To Set Permissions And Then Reboot
3. If Your Device Bootloops, I Am Not Responsible, Just Make A BackUp Before Flashing Or Replacing.
4. There's Not Much Difference In Sound Unless You Listen In 100% Sound.
5. The Max Volume MOD Will Increase The Sound Of Front Earpiece And The Difference Is Noticeable. But Use It On Your Own Risk Cause It Pushes The Earpiece Level To Maximum.
6. I Am Not Responsible If You Damage Your Front Earpiece
Drop Your mixer_path_mtp.xml From System/Etc If You Want Me To Make It For The ROM You're Using.
Working On : Resurrection Remix, AEX
Working Alongside Viper And Dolby, Oreo, MiUi 9

Well, it works somewhat. Tried the "normal" version and I have to put the phone up to the ear like I am making a call to hear anything out of that speaker. Holding the phone away, the bottom speaker overshadows the output of the front speaker completely, could just as well be off.
I did not try the max version, because I am a little chicken
I am using the changes for low call volume / low volume on video recording from this forum. I checked for possible conflicts, but they should not interfere if I am not mistaken. https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/fixed-bad-audio-videos-finally-t3625069

Well, Try The Max MOD Someday . I Have Just Seen The Link You Given.. In My MOD, I Just Changed The Music Output Speaker Values.. As I Saw His YouTube Video, He Modified Only Earpiece Volume And Added More Line.. I Think You Can Follow His Guide On My mixer_paths.xml And Enjoy The Both MOD I Guess

Hopefully you confirmed as I mentioned to you in another thread. If if is not a hardware issue then, yes. You can install via the kernel via one of the two recommended playstore apps. I personally flash via twrp on this device when flashing a kernel. No limits can be installed via Magisk. Information about nolimits and, profile can be found here :https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...xxx-nolimits-1-0-speed-ram-optimized-t3799167
