Since Xiaomi took the wraps off the latest MIUI 11 in September this year, the Chinese tech giant has been testing several new features. The company has previously tested an app drawer and app shortcuts and new categories for the stock MIUI 11 launcher. There have also been tests for HEIC support for the MIUI Camera app. Just recently, the latest nightly MIUI 11 build was spotted with new advanced display calibration controls. Yet another new feature for MIUI 11 has been spotted and it is an equalizer for the Mi Music app on MIUI 11.
An MIUI user recently discovered code for an equalizer in the Mi Music app on the latest MIUI 11 nightly (v9.12.19). The equalizer was enabled manually by LineageOS contributor and XDA Senior Member abhishek987 who also shared screenshots of the feature.
As seen in the screenshots, the new equalizer can be found within the Earphones option inside advanced settings on the settings menu of the custom music app. On present versions of MIUI 11, the equalizer option is disabled and can’t be operated. However, the leak shows the option allows you to completely adjust the sound profile as per your preference.

Apart from the new equalizer, the update will also bring access to a new Volume adjustment feature that will let you adjust the earphone volume depending on your age group. There are three group options to choose from — Up to 30 years old, 30-60 years old, and More than 60 years old — along with a custom preset option that allows you to make your own volume adjustments.
Selecting an age group gives you access to even more granular adjustments for the left and right ear volume levels, along with options to test the original sound profile and the adjusted sound profile. On top of all that, the app also lets you select the type of earphone/headphone you’re using for more accurate sound profiles.
Since the equalizer function has been disabled for a long while, even on earlier MIUI versions, we expect this feature to become available soon. However, there is no indication as to when that would happen.
