Volume levels with headphones

I'm interested in getting this phone, I checked on gsmarena and the freq response is perfect.I just wanna know if anyone's flashed CM if the volume levels on headphones are increased.From my past experience with sony phones, when I flashed CM the levels were always louder but I just wanna make sure before I make the move and throw 500 euros out there.Thanks upfront.

In my experience so far using poweramp, the volume is quite high, i will admit using the stock walkman app isnt as loud. btw unlocking your bootloader in order to install CM will break your camera.

Would you mind turning DVC off in the audio settings and check?Also are you sure you're not using preamp?

Turned off the equalizer in poweramp and its still fairly good to be honest with you, turned off bass and treble in poweramp aswell, volume level was decent. i dont touch preamp, it distorts the sound too much for my liking. one thing i will mention is that i run a modified stock rom, the developer of the rom has included a mod which increases the headphone and external speaker volume, that may attribute why i get good volume levels and i am using some decent earphones too

Xperia Z audio

Hi guys, two weeks ago i bought my Xperia Z and i have to say that every single thing on that phone is amazing except one....the loudspeaker is really low! What can i do in order to increase the sound level produced by the loudspeaker? Does this Xaudio really work so good for the loudspeaker? The earphones' experience is amazing though!
Thanks in advance!

Is it worth it? Is the difference really big?

Yes the sound quality is better.. But if you want so much increased volume from speakers then there is not a big difference...

Increase Headphone volume levels on MM

So, I was on Kitkat for 2 weeks, volume levels on headphones were about 20% higher than on MM... I like using MM more than kk though, is there any way to increase the headphones volume? Even my old S4 mini is 30% louder than my Z3 compact?
Maybe a mod i haven't found could do the job? Any answer would be appreciated, thanks!
Edit: I've tried Meli Project, but it's still too quite compared to stock KK...
I'd really love 6.0.1 with 4.4's sound output power!

Up only once,since I updated my OP

Strange I've found KK and LP both too soft. Now on MM it's loud enough. I've been only on stock unbranded D5833 Australian roms.
KK and LP I used androplus kernel with it's fauxsound for analog volume gain. MM has elitekernel with fauxsound.
I'm not a fan of other sound mods that modify the sound arbitrarily. Even upping the volume by mixerpaths can cause digital gain rather than analog.

I'm on locked bootloader! Tried Meli Mod but i didn't like it at all...all i want is to increase the volume levels on my MM and make it sound like KK again! Is there any solution for the locked bootloader?!

modify the mixerpaths file. Plenty of info around as well as premodded files.
You could try the .291 Australian stock 5833 to see if it works like mine. Apparently only some LTE frequencies won't work. Not sure, just a quick search. If it works perhaps there's a 5803 that's similar. I have tried 5803 briefly on concept ok.
Or you can unlock. Backup drm first and you're set. Restore drm functions is built into elitekernel so you don't miss anything really.

Searched about modifying, found that mixer_paths.xml, but there's another mixer_paths_auxpcm.xml and I don't know which one is the file I should play with!

IF this even doesn't work, then try download poweramp...

When everything fails, then try viper4android.

G5S Plus Improved Speaker / Low Max Volume

They're many reviews out there complaining about the G5 Plus's horrible loud speaker and a really low max volume.
Have these problems been fixed with the G5S Plus?

personally, it sounds amazing and loud to me. the headphone jack could be a bit louder but i fix that with mods

You need to root the phone for most, if not all mods, ya? You aren't referring to viper4android? I've heard it works great.
I had one of those big clunky early smart phones, I think it was called the MDA, and I remember that you needed a PC to root the phone. Is that still the case, or can you root with Mac?

External speaker is loud, just not very good. Earpiece is a tad low about same as my 6p. Root - try reading 1 of the posts already available for more info.
