How to Make Xiaomi Louder: Proven Methods for Smartphones, TV and Speakers

Have you ever encountered a situation where even at maximum volume, your Xiaomi sounds too quiet? This is a common problem, especially in budget models of smartphones or TVs, where the manufacturer saves on speakers. But don't rush to buy external speakers - in 90% of cases, the volume can be increased programmatically or with hidden settings.

In this article, we will look at 10 proven ways to make Xiaomi louder, from standard MIUI features to engineering menus and third-party apps. The methods will be suitable for smartphones (Redmi Note 12, POCO X5, Mi 11), TVs (Mi TV Q2, Redmi Smart TV) and smart speakers (Mi Smart Speaker).

1. Turn on the volume amplifier mode in MIUI

The hidden MI Sound Enhancer feature is available on most Xiaomi smartphones with MIUI 12 and later firmware, which increases volume by 20-30% by optimizing sound flow, but can slightly distort bass frequencies on cheap models.

To activate the amplifier:

• 📱 Open the Settings. → Sound and vibration
• 🔊 Scroll down and find the Volume Amplifier (or MI Sound Enhancer)
• 🔄 Switch the slider to the On position.
• 🎧 Select the profile: Music, Videos or Games (for POCO F5 Mode available for the cinema)

If the item is not on the menu, then your model does not support the function, in which case try alternative methods in the following sections.

2. equalizer setting for maximum volume

The right equalizer settings can visually increase volume by raising the medium and high frequencies. MIUI has a built-in 5-band equalizer, but it is hidden in the multimedia settings.

How to set up:

1. Run any audio (music or video)
2. Swipe down to call the notification bar and tap on the Media icon (or Playback)
3. Click on the icon. ⚙️ Sound settings
4. Select the Equalizer and activate it.
5. Install Rock or Pop presets – they raise volume by 3-5 dB compared to a standard profile

For advanced users: manually lift sliders 1kHz and 4kHz to +3dB. This will make the sound subjectively louder, but can add wheezing at maximum volume.

💡

If your model doesn’t have a built-in equalizer, install the Wavelet app from Google Play, which supports system-based audio processing and works even with YouTube and Netflix.

3. Engineering menu: increase in volume at the hardware level

⚠️ Warning: Changing the parameters in the engineering menu may damage the speakers or cancel the warranty. +6 dB for micro speakers (like Redmi) 10A) and +10 dB for full size (like in Mi 11 Ultra).

Instructions for smartphones:

1. Open the Phone app and type in the combination: ##36446337## (for some models, ##4636## → Hardware Testing → Audio)
2. Go to Hardware Testing → Audio → LoudSpeaker Mode
3. Select the type of speaker: 🔈 Speaker - the main speaker 📞 Receiver - spoken (upper) 🎧 Headset - headphones

5. Hardware methods: cleaning speakers and replacing the grid

Often, the silent sound is not caused by the software, but by the contaminated speakers, the dust, hair and skin particles clog the grille, reducing the volume by 30-40%, cleaning takes 5 minutes and requires no disassembly of the device.

How to clean the speakers:

• 🧹 Use a toothpick (wrapped with a wet wipe) to remove visible debris
• 💨 Blow the speaker with compressed air (a canister for cleaning equipment)
• 🔊 For deep cleaning, use an ultrasonic bath (for removable speakers only!)
• 🛠️ If the grid is deformed, replace it with a new one (Article for Redmi Note 11: XM-12345-D)

⚠️ Warning: Never use cotton swabs - they leave fibers that will clog the speaker even more. For models with waterproof (Xiaomi 13 Pro), avoid liquids - dry cleaning is enough.

6. Features of increasing volume on Xiaomi TV

The Mi TV and Redmi Smart TVs have separate audio settings that users often ignore, with the top secret being activating Dolby Audio mode and setting up Dynamic Volume.

Step-by-step:

1. Go to Settings → Sound
2. Select Sound Mode → Cinema (for movies) or Music (for concerts)
3. Activate Dolby Audio and DTS-HD (available on models with MT9650 and later)
4. Enable Dynamic Volume and set the level to High
5. In the Advanced Settings section, raise Bass to +4 and High Frequency to +2.

For models with Android TV 11+ (such as Mi TV Q1 2023), the AI Sound Pro feature is available, which automatically adjusts the volume to the content on the screen. To turn it on, go to Settings → Device → Sound → AI Sound Pro.

💡

On Xiaomi TVs with PatchWall OS (India), the path to audio settings is different: Settings → Device Preferences → Sound → Advanced Settings.

7. Bluetooth Devices Problems: Why Xiaomi Is Quietly Playing in Headphones

If your Xiaomi is quietly sounding through Bluetooth headphones or a speaker, the problem could be codecs or A2DP profile limitations.

Check the current codec first:

1. Put the headphones on.
2. Open Settings → Connected devices
3. Slap the icon. ⚙️ headphone-name
4. Look at the audio codec line.

Optimal settings for maximum volume:

• 🎵 Codec: aptX HD or LDAC (Xiaomi 12T newer)
• 📶 Bitrate: 328 kbit/s (for aptX) or 990 kbit/s (for aptX) LDAC)
• 🔊 Profile: A2DP Sink (not) HFP, volume-limiting)

If your headphones don’t support aptX, install the Developer Options app and manually select an SBC codec with a bitrate of 328 kbps.

Extreme measures: firmware and system modification

If all the previous methods fail, you can change the system files, which is a risky method, but it can increase the volume by 50-60%, and is only suitable for advanced users.

Modification methods:

1. Editing mixer_paths.xml: Requires root or magisk path to file: /vendor/etc/mixer_paths.xml Look for lines from rx1_digital_volume and rx2_digital_volume Increase the value of C 84 before 92 (maximum — 96)
2. Custom core installation: Suitable for POCO F3, Redmi K50 Recommended cores: Perseus or Radiant Increase volume by 25% due to driver optimization

Firmware of modified MIUI

• MIUI EU or Xiaomi.eu versions have advanced audio settings
• Install it via TWRP or Fastboot

⚠️ Risk: With prolonged use at maximum volume, the speaker may burn out.
