There's an option in call settings for "Hearing aids" that says it'll bump up in-call volume. Haven't used it yet, so I don't know how well it works.
Granted I'm guessing it's -only- for phone calls, so for music/video playback I don't have an answer for you unfortunately.
Do you mean the speaker is as low as other HTC?
I thought it will be better than DHD and N1...
volume sucks
Low volume is one of the issues that bugs me with Sensation. The ring volume is low even at max and volume trough headphones is way too low.
This needs to be addressed by HTC ASAP in their new ROM.
The Stock music app has a feature called "SRS enhancement" It helps with the sound quality tremendously! It can be used either while listening to music or with the stock video player.
I've had good results from an app called Equalizer.
I changed the hearing aids setting and it has helped a lot for calls.

The "hearing aid" option does help out with the volume not just for calls but all other audio output as well. I guess I must be hard of hearing (by HTC's standards) because I really don't understand why the phone had such a low volume setting to begin with.
Well let's hope the Volume+ developer get it to work with the Sensation. I Just send him an email....
Hearing Aid is annoying because it doesn't help with speakerphone AND you can't lower the volume!
I installed volume+ today and it makes huge difference in sound quality
I think it is now supportable to HTC sensation
Thanks to its developer

But seriously, this wasn't an issue before JB. I listen to music at night with my headphones on, to drown out my husband's snoring. Before (I think before the JB update, but not positive), I could put it on a very low volume, and I'd barely hear it. This was great, as it didn't wake me up when a louder song came on.
Since upgrading to JB (again, I think that's when it started), the volume "slider" has specific notches and can no longer be set to any volume along the spectrum. The lowest "notch" is too loud at night and keeps waking me up.
Anybody know of an app or setting or something that would revert this back to a free sliding volume switch, where I could go so low, almost to the point of barely hearing it? I was startled nearly out of my pajamas last night, when Van Morrison screeched something in the middle of a relatively sedate song.
Thanks in advance!

if you have CWM installed i can fix that for you..
I haven't noticed a difference in volume since the update, but I never have the volume that low. You could just get headphones with inline volume controls to decrease the volume.
I never even used ics on this tablet so I don't know either..

Sorry i read this wrong.. i thought you wanted it louder.. but yes you can still use the equalizer with this and set everything low so the volume will also be lower.. and when you need that extra boost it will be there also...
install the market version and turn down the eq settings might help.. You dont need CWM with this version.. you have to download it because the tablet is incompatible with it in the playstore.. once installed open the app and click on app to open it..
the top option is for your headphones
the middle option is for the tablet speakers
the bottom is for bluetooth

Thanks for providing this. I installed it and have no idea what to do with it. I know I have to select the first option, but after that I'm lost. And I don't notice any changes in sound with the headphones on, when I change any of these settings. Any idea what I might want to change to get lower minimum volume?
Edit: I selected this as my MusicFX option, under my Sound settings.

Anyone else? My call volume (both speakerphone and ear) are extremely low yet the sounds come through the speaker loud and clear for games, music, etc. I can't seem to find any mention of this anywhere other than a tiny thread on Reddit in the Moto G subreddit but no mention on how to fix it. Any ideas how to fix this?
Edit: Just restarted and it resolved itself. I had restarted after upgrade but it seems a 2nd one would've been required. Disregard.
Hello, i have the same problem but a restart doesn't resolve....the volume is very low. I tried a factory reset but nothing changed

Motorola's advise: lower the incall volume to min, switch the phone off and then on again.

I have the same problem but the said workaround doesn't seem to be working. Is this using the rocker all the way? The moto forums all give different solutions but none of them seem to be working.
I agree with zippo, just turn the volume down a notch during the call and it increases the volume.
Strange but it works!

The fix is the same for internal or external earpiece or speaker. While in a call, turn the volume to 0, then turn back up to your desired output level.

I have been helped a lot by this forum so i thought i would give back! You can fix this problem with es file explorer And root access. First turn on root explorer in es file explorer, go to menu, local, device, find folder etc. Click on the file named mixer_paths.xml. click the top right menu button and select edit then scroll down and find the line <ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="84" /> ( your number may not be 84) and change that number to 94. Do the same for the next two lines (lines should look the same except with RX2 and RX3). Save and exit, then reboot and it should be fixed. You can try different numbers but much over 94 and my speakers distorted. All volumes will be increased including in call volumes. This may work for other phones but no guarantees
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

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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
