Frequently asked questions

The sound volume is low

Try to clean your earbuds with hydrogen peroxide, or replace them by warranty. Unfortunately the app is not able to fix the earbuds volume. Or try to use Sound Amplifier app from Google, or any other EQ app

I have microphone issues

This could be firmware issue, hardware issue, wrong sound input source selected on your device - phone, laptop or PC. Application can not affect you earbuds microphone settings.

Left or Right earbud doesn't work

Try to reset your earbuds, and reconnect them to your device. If the problem still exists try to replace earbuds by warranty

Left or Right earbud doesn't connect

Try to reset your earbuds, and reconnect them to your device. If the problem still exists try to replace earbuds by warranty. My Buds M8 is not involved into connecting earbuds to device

Difference in charge levels of Left and Right earbuds

Each of the earbuds equipped with its own battery. Batteries inside earbuds could have the difference in initial capacity, that's why having the different charge level for left/right earbuds is normal.

Can't find firmware updates

Here might be several reasons: the app is not able to connect to Xiaomi's servers, or there is no actual firmware updates available for your earbuds. If you have chinese version of earbuds try enabling the alternative server in app settings

Why Redmi Buds X Lite is not suppoted

Redmi Buds X Lite is basic earbuds model from Xiaomi, and it's not configurable at all - there is no way to change predefined gestures settings. That's the reason they are not supported

How to disable all touch gestures?

There's no way to completely disable all gestures unless Xiaomi makes it possible with the next firmware updates.

How to add custom action for touch gestures?

There's no way to add any custom action for gestures, as they’re all stored in your earbuds, application just shows you what it gets from earbuds.
