As of right now these mods do not work on stock lollipop ROMs or cm12.1 but the ones at the bottom of the op work with aosp lollipop ROMs at least the ones I've tested if you find one that doesn't work with an aosp ROM please let me know so I can adjust the op accordingly thank you
OK warning first this mod makes all the volumes very LOUD speaker/headset and Bluetooth so just a warning I'm not responsible for you blowing out your eardrums or speakers there is some distortion at the volume all the up but the main reason I made it this way is for hooking up external speakers which if there decent speakers can handle the volume so you've been warned now here's the mod
And as a reference stock value is 60
These are for stock ROMs use the ones below for aosp and cm roms

These are for aosp Roms and cm ROMs ie slimkat. Note with also on some variants of the lg g2 you will lose sound awith all the new versions of lollipop they keep changing the stock values on aosp ROMs some lose volume all together and some are just to loud. I'm currently working on a fix so please take that into consideration when choosing a mod to flash. NOTE THEY DO ALL WORK WITH AOSP ROMS JUST SOME ROMS HAVE A DIFFERENT STOCK VALUE THEN OTHERS SO I CAN'T POST A STOCK CAME FOR REFERENCE. SO REMEMBER TO MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST BEFORE FLASHING ANY OF THESE MODS

Flash in recovery and wipe caches very important or you'll get a bootloop
Just boot into recovery and flash zip
Also note that certain headphones might not get a boost if you find that your headphones or anything that you hook up thru the aux cable does not get boosted just let me know which mod you are using and I'll make the necessary adjustment so it works I would adjust all the boosters but for the majority of the headphones it works just fine and with the additional adjustment makes it just to loud. I think it's only non digital speakers or headphones that need the additional adjustment
Just start off at a low volume and work your way up till you feel comfortable with the volume
Also you if you combine vipers apk along with my mod for even better sound quality here's a link to his apk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
ALL the links thru out this thread to the various combinations are now dead please refer here in the OP to get them Thanks Rob
*NOTE* if you are using Dorimanx's kernel these mods will not work as Dorimanx's kernel does not allow for any type of volume mod. Any other kernel is fine sorry it's out of my control
If you like my work please hit thanks
Downloaded. I rarely run headphones but I will give it a run. Thanks.

I had that one for a long time before I learned how-to mod the only thing is it's a battery drainer cause it's constantly running in the background and in my opinion it's didn't make that much of a difference a slight volume boost
I believe setting the values to 75 is very high especially for speakers, there will be a lot of distortion. By the way i saw the script i believe it raises only the headphones, speaker, Bluetooth, but not the earpiece.
I changed the values manually earlier on i just wanted to check if you did something different. Thanks any way.

I have it at 75 for the speakers because some people were asking me to make it higher I guess each ROM is different and you can always just turn the volume down a bit And at least on my phone it raised the ear piece volume it's loud enough now where I don't even have to put it on speaker phone I just turn up the volume and it's as loud as the speaker phone was before the mod but anyways I'm glad you like it and thanks for the input
New booster mod is up that decreases the speaker volume to 70 for those of you that did not like it so high
Tried to install this with rooted stock rom 4.4.2 and Twrp but it wont flash just gives a failed message. Tried with both the 70 and 75 files? Any ideas? What I really need is to get my ringer volume up.

He said IC, not ICS. IC = Insert Coin, ICS = Ice Cream Sandwich
I too am having volume issues, mostly the ear piece speaker. Volume+ does nothing for this, but it did help with my speaker phone, media, and alerts. Too bad I dont care as much about those as I do being able to hear my phone, after all, thats what its meant to do, make calls
~T.J.
yeah the earpiece really sucks. Its so hard to understand people when ur outside. Cant believe still no one made a mod for it
If it's a limitation of the hardware, then we might be stuck with it. Hopefully someone comes up with a proper solution or at least a workaround.
I keep telling you guys volume plus works. Make sure you get the pay version and not the free one. I used it with my stock sensation 2.3.4 ROM.
Make sure you use the advanced settings.
1st bar set to 11
2nd bar set to 50
3rd to set to 200
4th bar set to 200
5th bar set to 200
Vol increase set to 0
Bass boost set to 1
echo set to 3
With these settings on the two highest settings you'll not only be able to hear your callers but it'll be extremely loud especially the highest setting. The highest two settings are not only loud but they are crystal clear.
I actually enjoyed talking on my sensation over my jawbone icon. Good luck with the settings & enjoy the new call volume!
Volume of Sensation seems fine to me, ringtone and speaker.
I always use custom kernels and ROM's. Maybe volume level is boosted in one of these? I am not sure....maybe I am just not picky about volume.

I just tried all of your settings and my speakerphone volume is exactly the same as without Volume+. Good thing the app creator has the paid version for free on his website.
I tried Volime+ payed with those settings.. And my volume is even lower than it was without Volume+. ANd then i realised : "it is not that low (generaly, without volume+).
As we all know the volumes on the XZ1C are very low especially the loudspeaker , feels bad when your are on Call or Music with loudspeaker and when the Mic sensitivity is low when the phone is not near the mouth.
I have done some changes in Mixer_Path.xml which helped to increase volumes.
Hope that helps Z1C owners who need only some boost in sounds rather than third party custom sound mods.
Device must be on stock KK rooted and this also may work on XZ1
INSTRUCTIONS:
PLACE THE MIXER_PATHS.XML FILE IN SYSTEM/ETC DIRECTORY WITH 0644(RW-R--R--) PERMISSIONS AND REBOOT

Hi! Would you care to prepare one XML without the loudspeaker's modification? It's distorted on 60% already.
The headphones's volume is much better though, thanks!

Speaker section in that XML is what impacts the call loudspeaker and music loudspeaker together.
Let know what you want !!
I tried to go through the xml but I can't find the speaker section to change the values.
All I need is what I said earlier: stock loudspeaker volume, because it is distorted around 60% volume already. Thanks!

Thanks for this, this phone is now perfect, headphone volume is spot on, I don't know if the speaker is a bit to loud though, on full volume the phone is vibrating with the sound and u can actually feel the air being blown out of the speaker grill! In the 2nd file u posted above is the headset volume still the same and just speaker a bit lower?

This mod is brought to you by @langeveld024! If you like it, make sure you thank one of his posts as well. I have just tested the mod and modified the volumes to match our device.
Surround Sound/True Stereo MOD for the LG G2
This MOD requires ROOT
What is this?
This is a mod that allows the phone to use the earpiece combined with the loudspeaker to play sounds and music, thus resulting in a surround sound-like effect. The mod is made by editing mixer_paths.xml
Is it safe?
I've been thoroughly testing it on my LG G2 running OptimusG3 1.4.1 and CloudyG3 2.1. I tuned the sound to what I think the earpiece can handle without getting damaged. The earpiece is very clear and produces wonderful sound, but it's not that loud at all.
Other members of this fantastic community have tested the MOD on LiquidSmooth 4.0 (Lollipop) and on Stock LG firmware and reported that it works flawlessly!
Installation instructions
1. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP - PLEASE! This mod has ONLY been tested on OptimusG3 1.4.1 and not on any other ROM. So please make a nandroid so you can restore your phone in case it goes sour! I may be able to provide a flashable zip in the future, but till then, make a nandroid!
2. Copy your current mixer_paths.xml from /system/etc to somewhere safe then download mixer_paths.xml.
3. Move it to /system/etc and give it 644 permissions. 644 permissions looks like this:
xxo
xoo
xoo
4. Reboot and enjoy surround sound.
General piece of recommendation - Use this mod in conjunction with dorimanx kernel, as dorimanx kernel allows you to tune the loudspeaker volume easily using STweaks. You may need to turn down the volume quite a bit (-10 in STweaks) to avoid the loudspeaker overruling the earpiece. But then you'll really notice the mod!
Test the mod
To test if this works see: Left/Right Stereo Audio/Visual Test.: http://youtu.be/dvqbq_0jZ_U
I don't like this, what do I do?
Just move the original mixer_paths.xml that you copied to somewhere safe back into /system/etc and overwrite the old file. Then reboot.

http://youtu.be/-YNW8Azq9TA
btw working nice on cloudy g3 2.1 with dorimanx kernel (stweaks sound settings on a screenshot, i tried to equalize both "speakers" as much as possible)
as you can see, main speaker gain is at its lowest setting (-10 vol)
btw do you think this mod will somehow affect in-call volumes? (mic & speaker)
btw i hope @dorimanx can somehow include this mod in stweaks as well...
only downside to this is that i mostly rotate my device 90ccw so left and right channels are switched but no biggie...
and i wouldn't call this "surround". something like "true stereo" would be closer
i tried a few sound tests on youtube and it really sounds better with this mod... music as well...
yeah cool mod, only downside the difference between the two speakers. The small one distorts easily, but indeed stweaks can help with that.

Thanks for the nice feedback.
I forgot to add to add that to the OP, as I use the exact same settings as you do in STweaks.
This mod shouldn't affect in call volume since it's made by copying headphone path into the speaker path and using the earpiece, so the earpiece only lines are left untouched.
I also rotate my device 90 degrees ccw and when I do that, my left speaker is the earpiece and right speaker is the loudspeaker. It might be different between cloudyG3 and optimusg3.
I really want some feedback from people who are using stock based ROMS.
-as for the loudspeaker volume, it's a thing that I need to consider. If I turn it down too low to achieve 'true stereo' i think people will complain that their overall sound is too low. And if I don't only people with dorimanx kernel will be able to tune the volume easily.
Then just suggest everyone should install dorimanx, simple as that

i'd always give my vote to clearer, better sound than giving it to a louder sound...
even though - the sound isn't that low with those settings (-10) it somehow just feels right now...

That's exactly my experience as well! So I think it's safe to say that this mod works for G3 based roms but for optimal sound quality, you need to use dorimanx kernel and turn down speaker volume to -10.

I just flashed CloudyG3 2.1 to check what you said about left/right right/left You're completely right about it being changed. I'm on it =D

One of the reasons I came back to CloudyG3 was specifically to address this issue So don't tell me I don't have to bother It's hard to change a routine Anyway, once again thanks to @langeveld024 this mod should work flawlessly on CloudyG3!
Updating the OP with the download link!

ok mate i just wanted to save you a bit of work
btw i forgot to mention
yesterday when i downloaded the file using the mobile device - it downloaded some kind of a ".bin" document (but i renamed it to "mixer-paths.xml" and everything was ok)
now i downloaded the new (cloudy) version from my PC - filename is correct...
just mentioning this to help someone if he/she got confused with the filenames (it's obviously some dropbox/android/android browser issue)
cheers, and thanks a bunch again

update:
i've installed the new xml, but the left channel is still right when rotated ccw (counter-clockwise)
it's ok when in cw (clockwise) rotation...
What's bugging me about my brand new Xperia X? The overall low volume.
These simple tweaks, this mod if you may, simply modifies a few lines from the stock audio config files which, after a reboot make your speakers louder and headphones, a bit too loud (but I didn't hear anyone complaining about Xperias for being too loud lol)!
It's for rooted users only and for me it sounds a lot better than using (possibly) unstable sound mods instead of simply adjusting the volume on some pretty decent stock drivers.
***Tested on X Performance running Nougat. I've also got my hands on Xperia X Performance files which are pretty straight FWD see attach. Thanks @bkk99213 for testing and for the file!***
Make a backup first or if you didn't simply put the original values back (82 for speaker lines and 76 for headphones). All that can happen if you modify the wrong thing is: Your settings won't do anything or you'll have no sound, that's why a backup is ideal.
Features:
Louder Stereo Speaker sound system wide;
Louder Headphone sound;
Stereo Voice-Speaker call - NOT TESTED! Keep a backup and please let me know if it's working;
Customizable as you see fit! Just stick to the already explored options.
Conflict-free tweaks - no additional files added, no nothing, just some modified lines - you can trust it .
Installation:
By flashing the .zip on recovery or with FLASHFIRE [press the red "+" button > Flash ZIP or OTA > leave the options as they are and Click on the "done arrow thingy".
Manually copying the file to /etc - DO NOT forget to set the right permissions (RW R R). Please take a look over the Permissions.png screenshot in case you don't know how to set them - you long click on the file, then go to properties and you'll see the permissions button.
Do it yourself - there's a guide down bellow.
In the download section you'll find:
>>Flashable! already modified "Xperia X P Getting Loud.zip" with: SPEAKER values - 84 for both RX7/RX8 and HEADPHONE values - 84 for RX1/RX2.
>>Flashable! Stock Values - it's the stock file unmodified.
>>NON-Flashable! zips - there you have 1 zip for the modified file and the stock one so you can place it manually via ES file explorer or the explorer of your choosing.
**And some screenshots that are pretty self explanatory showing you what modifications need to be made if you want to do it yourself.
DIY Guide (using ES File Explorer):
You're probably acquainted with ES File Explorer so it should be pretty simple. The modifications I made were done with ES (it has an built-in editor).
1. Make sure the Root Explorer toggle is On - it's located in the Tools tab as you swipe the left side of the screen;
2. Go to the root of the files where you'll see folders such as "data; dev; firmware; storage; system; etc" go to "etc" folder and scroll down till you see the mixer_paths files;
3. Open "mixer_paths_tasha" and at the prompt, select ES Note Editor - it's a huge file so tap right above the navigation bar! A bar with percentage should show up - it will help you navigate through the file;
4.1 Speakers - Get to 45% of the file where you should see the path for "speaker", ctrl name RX7 and RX8 with their stock values - modify the values as you please but please don't go over 85 - sound will be too distorted;
4.2 Headphones - Go to 57% of the file - you'll see "headphones" path - ctrl name RX1 and RX2 - modify the values but anything more than 84 might be too much.
5. Save and reboot. If you choose to modify the files on a PC make sure to set the permissions when you put the file back. Otherwise bootloops might occur.
*Stereo Voice-Speaker call is untested but in theory it should work, as it does on my Xperia X. I added the second channel to the routing - screenshot bellow.
**Stereo Ringtone-Speaker - WIP. I'm currently stuck so feel free to jump in and notify me via PM.
***Internal players such as Music, Video, ringing and notification will try to compensate the sound so it might not be as loud as expected. But try a youtube video and you'll notice the difference.
***Do not attempt to modify something else unless you know what you're doing - on that note, make a backup first. In my first attempts I lost sound device wide with FC for sound effects apk.
***Do not go over the values I imputed (84 for speaker and 85 for headphone) - apart from the distortions that will occur because of the louder volume the internal DAC might not be able to reproduce the sound at such intensity - in my tests one of the speakers was shutting down. Again, no harm can come to your device but don't push it.
***I saw a lot of sections for hi-res headphones, Noise cancelling, etc - I did not explore those options because I don't have the means to test it. Any input and contributions from you guys are most welcome.
These files control the volume output for digital / analog which means it's a non-intrusive way to change volumes with no harm for the device. If volume limit exceeds the capacity of the speakers it will sound bad but there is no chance for physical damage.
I'm coming from a highly modded Xperia Z (that phone saw some torture) which made use of the earpiece speaker for stereo, and even if the speakers aren't designed for that output they are louder than the X which packs pretty decent speakers. This is the mod that gave me the idea: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/themes-apps/mod-stereomod-xz-v1-1-t2835995

Also check this out. It's an xposed module that will disable the annoying thermal warning for the camera. No more functions disabled just because phone got a bit over skin temperature lol. http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...-camera-xperia-thermal-disabler-v1-0-t3455087
Cheers and happy new year!

Yes that's why it's a guide-ish. Files are different still... Traditionally with Sony, you should aim for the largest file. In your case the right file should be "...tasha" file. If you want you can send it to me or try it yourself. Keep a backup. I had no bootloops (so there's nothing to fear) by modifying what I shouldn't (and i had a dozen of tries). All that can happen if you modify the wrong thing is: Your settings won't do anything or you'll have no sound, that's why a backup is ideal. PM me. I'm curious about the file and results.

It's simpler than it was on my X. I'll be back with an update. But I need my coffee first ))
Tested. It work. Whatsapp's Ringtone is obviously but some notification sound get distorted.
So I don't know the setting(84) is correct or not.

That's device specific. On my X 84 is just the right amount. I'll make another zip with 83 values. That's only one step over stock.
At least headphones are loud and distortion free. I noticed some good amplification on those. On my old Xperia Z I could never have such a powerful sound without signal cutting off on one of the channels.
Correction. The file had 85 for speakers. I'll put new zips with 84 soon.

So glad I was able to help. You're welcome!
After tested 5 days, I get some trouble that my phone call's volume is lower than before.
But the settings should be no change for phone call, right?
* I have not much phone call, so I can't find this problem @ 1st day.
Thanks for your help again.
Does anyone know which xml would need to be modified for this to work on the X Compact?

It's usually the largest one. So you should look for that. And then adapt this method to the X. Speakers might be with a different name buy you'll get it

Looks like it's mixer_paths_wcd9335.xml at 148.6KB. Both RX7 and RX8 are at 82 stock (under path name="wsa-speaker"). How much past the original values are you pushing these things, 2-3? Do these values boost the in-call speakerphone volume as well?
Unrelated, does anyone know if this XML has anything that could be modified to get get both speakers working when using the in-call speakerphone?

I am pretty sure both X and X compact use the same HW - it seems to be the same file and wsa thingy - check my thread for X - https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-x/themes/xperia-x-mixerpaths-volume-tweaks-tank-t3525691
it is possible to modify the call speaker - and there are more things to add like stereo for that one. But going over default for one speaker can get voice distorted. And if stereo is applied there, than microphone quality will drop a lot. There's a reason why the call speaker is mono - so that the mic on the other side can catch most of the sounds. At some point maybe I'll look for a hook for stereo.

These modifications can't affect the phone call volume since I never touched those. And I never had such issues. But I'll keep my ear close to it )

Awesome! Bumped the speaker and headphone values up to 86 and 85 and all I can say is wow! Made a huge difference!
Do you know which lines specifically control the in-call speaker volume? Makes sense about the mono audio/mic pick-up, however it'd be great to at least increase the volume.

Adding stereo speaker to phone call is a bit tricky as far as I remember, especially without a recovery. Hopefully I'll have some spare time to look over it or at least identify call routing.

Would it be easier to just increase the in-call volume and leave it mono? I'm guessing that there is a similar RX line that can be bumped up a few values to increase the volume.
Under <path name="voice-speaker"> there is a line <ctl name="RX8 Digital Volume" value="82" />. I'm guessing that may be it?

yup, that should be it. I'm advocating for the stereo because stock values already distort a lot on speaker call
[Update] - stereo call speaker now working. Testing and applying method for ringtone speaker aswell

[UPDATE] Please check the updated thread for Xperia X. For you, modifications should be easier to learn from there. Stereo Voice-Speaker added - no need for volume boost. https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-x/themes/xperia-x-mixerpaths-volume-tweaks-tank-t3525691
I can listen to shhhhh. That's annoying. how do I revert volume to stock without loosing dual speakers mod? I remember there was a file, that had lines to modify volume.(srry for my English)

Not sure what mod they use ask in their thread they may be using this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes/req-dual-speaker-t3339809
try it , the mod has a lot of volumen options without losing the dual speaker option

I mean from headphones
That is for headphones. That sound mod is included in the BatMan ROM and increases media playback volume system wide.
You will need to download a version of the mod that includes the dual speaker mod, but not the volume mods.
