How to make a mounting call sound on Xiaomi: full instructions with solutions to problems

Are you tired of the sudden and sudden sound of an alarm clock or an incoming call on your Xiaomi? The surge sound is not only more pleasing to the ears, but also more practical: it allows you to wake up or respond to a call smoothly, without stress. Unfortunately, in standard MIUI settings, this feature is often hidden or does not work correctly. In this article, we will understand how to turn on a smooth increase in the volume of the call on all Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco models, and what to do if the option is not available or reset after an update.

Complicating the problem is that the manufacturer regularly changes the location of settings in new firmware versions. In addition, on some devices, the scaling sound function can conflict with energy-saving modes or third-party applications. We tested all current methods on MIUI 14/15 and collected working solutions - from standard tools to workarounds using ADB and third-party utilities.

Important: If you use custom firmware (like LineageOS or Pixel Experience), some of the instructions may not work, and then look at the alternatives section.

What is a surge sound and why it doesn’t work by default

Accumulating sound (or smoothly increasing volume) is a feature where the volume of an alarm or bell starts at a minimum level and gradually reaches a maximum within a few seconds. On Xiaomi, this option is not implemented in all regional versions of the firmware, and on some models (for example, the Redmi Note 10 Pro or Xiaomi 12T), it may not be at all.

Reasons why the function may not work:

📱 Regional restrictions: In firmware for China (China) ROM) Global versions (Global) ROM) function-set is often.
🔄 Updates MIUI: After major updates (for example, with the MIUI 13 on MIUI 14) settings may be reset.
🛠️ Optimization Conflict: Functions like Battery and Performance → Optimization MIUI They can block the smooth increase in volume.
🎵 Third-party sound packs: Installed ringtone in format.mp3 or.m4a Sometimes they don't support growth.

On some devices (like the Poco F3 or Xiaomi 11 Lite NE), the feature is hidden in the engineering menu. If you don’t find it in the standard settings, don’t despair – below we’ll tell you how to activate it.

Standard Way: Where to look for a setup in MIUI

On most Xiaomi devices with MIUI 12 and later, the scaling up setting is hidden in the alarm menu or audio profiles.

Open the Clock app (icon with dial).
Go to the "Alarm clock" tab.
Press the badge «⚙️» (settings) in upper right corner.
Select "Increasing sound" (or "Smooth increase" on some firmware).
Activate the switch and set the build-up time (usually 5 to 30 seconds).

If this is not the case, try an alternative route:

Go to Settings → Sound and vibration → Additional settings.
Find the “Alarm” or “Calls” section.
Check for the option “Smooth increase”.

☑️ Checking before setting up

Update MIUI to the latest versionMake sure the alarm clock is not turned off in the “Clock”Check if there is a “Do Not Disturb” mode.Turn off battery optimization for the Watch app

Done: 0 / 4

On Poco devices, the path may differ:

Settings → System applications → Watches → Growing sound

⚠️ Attention: On some firmware (MIUI 13.5 for the Redmi Note 10S) The option only appears after the alarm clock is first started. Try setting the alarm 1 minute ahead and wait for it to go off.

If the standard method didn’t work, you can try to enable the feature through the Engineering Menu (or CIT), which works on most Xiaomi devices, but requires caution – incorrect changes can lead to failures.

Instructions:

Open the Phone app and enter the code: ##36446337## This will open the CIT menu (if the code doesn't work, try #4636###).
Go to the section "Hardware Testing» → «Audio».
Find the option “Ramp Up Volume” or “Alarm Volume Ramp”.
Activate the function and set the value “Enabled”.
Save the settings and restart the device.

On some models (Xiaomi Mi 11, Redmi K40) the path can look like this:

CIT → Audio → Alarm Settings → Volume Ramp

⚠️ Note: Do not change other options in the engineering menu unless you are sure of their purpose. For example, changing the Gain Table values may cause sound distortion.

What to do if the engineering menu is not opened?

If the code ##36446337## It doesn't work, try it: 1. Install the application MTK Engineering Mode (for devices running MediaTek processors). 2. Use it. ADB-Command: Adb shell am start -n com.android.settings/.TestingSettings 3. Check whether access to the engineering menu is blocked by the operator (relevant for some regional firmware).

Using ADB to force the inclusion of a function

If none of the previous methods worked, you can try activating the swelling sound through Android Debug Bridge (ADB), a method suitable for advanced users and requires connecting a smartphone to a computer.

Step-by-step:

Enable “Debugging USB” on your phone: Settings → About Phone → MIUI Version (click 7 times) → Return to “Additional” → For Developers → Debugging by USB
Connect the phone to the PC and confirm the debugging permission.
Open the command line (or Terminal) Mac/Linux) Enter: adb shell settings put global alarm_volume_ramp_enabled 1
To apply the changes, restart the device.

To check if the team has worked, type:

adb shell settings get global alarm_volume_ramp_enabled

If answer 1 is activated, the function is activated.

Xiaomi model	Supported ADB team	Notes
Redmi Note 11/12	alarm_volume_ramp_enabled	It's working on MIUI 13/14.
Poco X3/X4	alarm_ramp_up	Requires root rights on some firmware
Xiaomi 12/13	volume_ramp_alarm	May be reset after the update
Mi 11 Lite NE	ramp_up_alarm	Not working on China ROM.

adb shell settings delete global alarm_volume_ramp_enabled

Then repeat the switching command.-->

Third-party applications for increasing sound

If built-in methods didn't work, you can use third-party applications that not only add a smooth volume increase feature, but also offer additional settings (for example, choosing the duration of the build-up or custom audio profiles).

Top.-3 apps:

🎵 Gradual Alarm Clock supports smooth volume increase, integration with Google Assistant and custom tunes.
⏰ Alarmy (Sleep If U Can) – allows you to adjust the increase in sound, and also adds tasks to wake up (for example, scan). QR-Minus: high battery consumption.
🔊 Volume Ramp for Alarms is a specialized application for magnifying sound, works in the background.

How to set up Gradual Alarm Clock:

Install the app from Google Play.
Open it and go to Settings → Alarm Ring.
Activate the “Gradual Volume Increase” option.
Set the duration of the build-up (recommended 10-20 seconds).
Select a tune and save the alarm clock.

⚠️ Note: Some apps (such as Alarmy) may conflict with a standard alarm clock. MIUI. Before using, turn off the built-in alarm in Settings → Annexes → The clock → Shut down.

💡

Third-party applications are the best option for devices with custom firmware or outdated versions of MIUI, where the scaling sound is not supported at the system level.

Frequent problems and their solutions

Even after successful setup, the swelling function may not work properly, and here are the most common problems and ways to fix them:

Problem.	Possible cause	Decision
The sound builds up, but it stops.	Conflict with the regime Do not disturb	Turn off Do Not Disturb for Alarms in Settings → Sound → Do Not Disturb → Alarms
The function is reset after rebooting	MIUI optimization kills the process	Add the Watch app to exceptions: Settings → Battery → Battery Optimization → Select apps
The build-up only works for the alarm clock, not for calls.	Firmware restriction	Use it. ADB-Call command: adb shell settings put global ringtone_volume_ramp_enabled 1
The sound starts at maximum volume.	Incompatible melody	Set a standard MIUI tune or convert your sound to.ogg with a bitrate of 128 kbps

If the problem persists, check:

🔋 Power saving mode: Turn it off for the Clock app».
🔄 Updates MIUI: Install the latest firmware version (sometimes bugs are fixed in patches).
🎧 Connected devices: If you use Bluetooth headphones, the build-up may not work – try without them.

Alternative methods: automation and scripts

For advanced users who want complete control of sound, there are more complex but effective solutions:

1. Tasker + AutoNotification

With Tasker, you can create a problem that will smoothly increase the volume of the alarm clock.

Install Tasker and AutoNotification plugin.
Create a problem with the action of Media Volume and set a gradual increase.
Link the task to the event "Notice from the clock".

2. Magisk modules

For root-enabled devices, you can install modules that add incremental sound at the system level.

MIUI Ramp Volume Enabler – activates hidden settings.
Audio Modification Library – allows you to fine-tune sound profiles.

3. Custom firmware

Firmware like Pixel Experience or LineageOS often have built-in support for mounting sound, but installing them requires unlocking the bootloader and can be unwarranted.

How to check if your firmware supports growing sound?

Enter in. ADB command: adb shell dumpsys audio Look for lines with ramp or volume_ramp. If they are, but the function does not work – the problem is in the settings, not the hardware.

FAQ: Answers to Frequent Questions

Can you make a growing sound for notifications (SMS, messengers)?

No, in MIUI, this feature only works for alarms and incoming calls, and you can use third-party apps like Notification Volume Ramp (requires Android 10+) to notify.

Why does the swelling sound only work once and then reset?

It's a famous bug. MIUI 13-14 Solutions: Turn off the Adaptive Battery in the settings. Add the Clock to the optimization exceptions. Use ADB-command for compulsory inclusion (see section above).

Is there a difference between the scaling sound on Redmi and Poco?

Yes, Poco devices often use a different sound subsystem (especially on models with Dolby Atmos).If standard methods don't work, try: Disable Dolby Atmos in Settings → Sound. → Sound quality. Use it. ADB-parameter poco_alarm_ramp.

Can I adjust the mounting sound for music tracks?

No, this feature is only for alarms and calls, but you can use smooth-attenuation players (like Poweramp or Neutron Music Player).

After the MIUI update, the mounting sound is gone.

Updates often reset hidden settings. Try: Repeat settings via the engineering menu or ADB. Clear the Cache of the Watch app (Settings → Apps → Watch → Warehouse → Clear cache). Reverse to the previous version of MIUI (if the function is critical).
