Although little by little we hear more and more about the Xiaomi Mi 10, for the moment the Mi 9 is still the right eye for many users and the Chinese firm. This flagship of 2019 has several interesting technologies including the audio section. However, we can always go one step further if we use some tricks to improve the sound of the Mi 9.
The Mi 9 has a powerful processor, a triple photo camera on its back and already essential technologies in a high range such as its on-screen fingerprint sensor. Many manufacturers are putting a lot of emphasis on the sound section , so we can squeeze our Mi 9 even further if we know where to play. In addition, MIUI has focused on improving certain aspects of the sound in its latest updates, which have been very well received by users.
A “heap” speaker
The Mi 9, unlike other high-end devices , does not have a double speaker. This means that we will not have as much power as other devices. The speaker is located at the bottom, and has an audio output amplified by an intelligent PA that is equivalent to a large speaker with a sound cavity of 0.9 cc. Xiaomi has manufactured the terminal with materials that look for deeper, deeper sounds.
Improve speaker sound
Although the enjoyment of the best sound when we watch movies, series or enjoy good music is best done with headphones, we can always do something to improve the sound of the internal speaker. The first of these steps will lead us to increase the volume, since many users perceive that it is low even to the maximum.
Skip EU restriction
One of the methods of increasing the volume is to skip the European regulations that restrict the full power of our speaker. For this we will only have to select another region, so we will go to Settings> Regions> and mark another country such as Andorra or India, for example. After this adjustment the speaker volume should increase considerably.
Download an app that amplifies
If this method does not seem enough to us or we simply do not want to change the region, we can help ourselves with a third-party app. The Goodev volume amplifier is one of the most popular, downloaded and best rated applications of all Google Play. With this app we can increase the volume by far including interesting settings such as allowing the app to start at the beginning so that it is always operational.

Improve sound with headphones
If we use headphones we will also look for the best possible quality. MIUI allows you to make some adjustments so that we can listen to everything better, even adjusting the type of content we are consuming so that we can adapt the best parameter at all times. These options are found in Settings / Additional Settings / Headphones and Audio effects.
Touch the Equalizer
When activating the equalizer we can choose in detail what type of music we are listening to or adjust bass, treble and other parameters to our liking. This function allows you to save our custom profile so you don’t have to configure everything from scratch.
My Sound Enhancer
It is a sound enhancer for when external speakers or headphones are connected via Bluetooth. In this way the sound will be heard louder and clearer, although its activation depends on the personal taste of each user, so it is better to try it before deciding whether to leave it always activated.
Choose the type of headset
Everything will be heard better if our Mi 9 knows what type of headphones we are listening to. The list shows several options to choose from including Xiaomi products themselves.
Other tricks
Two headphones or speakers at the same time?
The Mi 9 does not have a 3.5 jack connection for headphones, this greatly limits our options when we want to share the audio with a friend and we both want to have stereo audio. Bluetooth 5 technology allows several headphones to be connected at the same time, but is designed for different peripherals. In this way, we can have a Mi Band 4 and wireless headphones connected, but not two headphones at the same time.
The solution is to get two headphones or speakers that have interconnection with each other, something known by some brands such as wireless stereo dual pair. In this way headphones connect to our terminal, and the seconds connect to the first headphones to listen to the same audio.
Download music in great quality
If we are one of those who download backup copies of our favorite albums, we must bear in mind that the Mi 9 can play high quality audio files such as FLAC or WAV. Listening to music in this type of format will give us a plus of quality, although we will always need more storage space than with more compressed MP3 formats.
