Increase speaker volume on Yureka
- Install a free file manager that can handle root permissions. ES File Explorer is a good free option to go ahead with.
- Open the file manager you are going to work with. The instructions that follow are assuming you are using ES File Explorer. Though the name of the options might differ in different file managers, this guide would work no matter which file manager you are using.
- Swipe from the left edge, and under the Local tab, select the Device option to get to the / folder on your device.
- Go to system -> etc and open the mixer_paths.xml file by tapping on it. Depending on the apps that you've installed on your phone, you will be presented with a list of apps that can open the file. Select the ES Note Editor option.
- Once the mixer_paths.xml file is open in the ES Note Editor, press the pencil icon on the top right corner to enter the editing mode.
Note: Instead of making the edits mentioned in the next steps yourself, you can download this already modified file from my Yureka and paste it in the location of the original file. - Now find this line:
<ctl name="RX3 Digital Volume" value="84" />
and replace the value 84 with a higher number. We've been using "89" without any issues so far, and this increases speaker volume on Yureka decently enough. Assuming that you decide to go by the same value, the updated line should look like this:
<ctl name="RX3 Digital Volume" value="89" />
Please note that while users have not faced any problems even with "91", going above this can potentially harm your speaker. So please exercise caution in setting this value. - Finally, find this line:
<ctl name="Speaker Boost" value="DISABLE" />
and replace the "DISABLE" value with "ENABLE" (yes, you guessed it right), so that the line finally becomes:
<ctl name="Speaker Boost" value="DISABLE" />
That's it. Pressing the back button once will present an alert box confirming whether you want to save the changes you just made to the file. Select the yes option, and the file will be saved with the changes you just made.
