Speaker volume boost possible? - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I remember on my last phone, Xperia Z2, there was a mod I could use that would boost the volume pretty well. The Z5 speaker loudness is pretty low out the box (comparable to what the Z2 volume was). Is it possible to use the same volume mod on the Z5? Has anyone tried it? Or is there an alternative I could use?

It should always be possible by editing the xml file but you'd need root

Not gonna have NFC payment in my country anytime soon so I'm happy to root it. What XML file and what edit?

It should be system/etc/mixer paths xml
In there tho for the Z5 I'm unsure....
Here's an example of one from the Nexus 5

}
The RX1 and RX7 for the nexus are relevant to the top and bottom speakers in loudspeaker mode so adjusting their values (86) (90) will change their volume levels
Obviously for the Z5 this may be different so hopefully someone else can inform on that front

Yes, but your mod requires deodexed firmware, I managed to get that with xposed module.

Semi noob question.

Trying to unlock boot loader so I can flash a custom ROM so I can go change values in the mixer_paths XML file to increase volume from earpiece Bluetooth and headsets. Its extremely low. I'm partially def.
Here is my.problem.
boot loader allowed to unlock: NO
current android version is 6.0.1
I just need to be pointed to a tutorial that will guide me so I can change that specific file.
here are some screen shots.

You shouldn't need to unlock the bootloader for this.
Root following the guide for your phone model and then you will be able to change the mixer paths or flash a Locked Bootloader custom ROM or a sound mod of your choice to change it.
I have locked bootloader root and have a sound mod that edits volumes etc.
What model of phone do you have? Eg) D6603 D6653 etc
Edit: I need to read better your screens show it as D6603
should work regardless:

Hey thanks for the quick reply but I have a newer firmware version than the one in that post. Is that still safe ?

Increase low earphones volume output

Hello guys.I just found a working method to increase really low output volume on headphones in Whyred.This simple operation needs root rights and I am not responsible if something goes wrong.Try at your own risk.I successfully increased my volume 5x times.
So,with any root file manager,just go to System>Vendor>etc>Mixer_paths.xml and change only these 2 values RX1 &RX2 (from 72 I think is stock) to any value you want and just reboot.Attention!I suggest no bigger value from 85.At first I tryied with 92 and my KZ EDR2 almost explode!
Cheers,enjoy true headphones/earphones sound!!
