Bug description

The microphone sounds clearly low when compared to Stock ROM or some old Custom ROMs like Syberia 4.9 Android 11 and others that I don't remember.

I know that this issue has been reported several times on Telegram in communities of different ROMs of the Xiaomi Mi A3, and sometimes some developers have fixed it, other times they have said that this fact is not real.

The LineageOS 20 GMS (2023-10-28) or LineageOS 21 QPR1 and possibly other LineageOS Roms have the microphone loud as in the Stock ROM, I didn't mention them because some lines of the 'mixer_paths_qrd' of these roms were changed, so the mic sounds loud but the sound is slightly blown out, but I created a Magisk module that returns these values to the Stock Rom values, so the microphone will sound normal.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install the Stock ROM or very old Roms like Syberia 4.9 (I'm sure there are others, but I don't remember;

2. Record an audio on Telegram (In saved messages);

3. Install some Custom Rom that has this issue, there are several:
   CRDroid 11.0 (2024-12-19)
   LineageOS 22 (2024-11-14)
   PixelMagic a15 (2024-11-16)
   PixelOS A14 (2024-02-20) LineageOS 18.1 (2024-11-14);

4. Record the same audio with the same voice volume;

Relevant log (logcat/build log)

I'm not using CrDroid 11 at the moment, so I can't generate a logcat. I've identified that the problem occurs when using the microphone in situations like Telegram and Whatsapp audios, but it will possibly occur in any application that uses the microphone.
