For starters,
Credit where credit is due, xda member "tobbbie" http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=393455 informed me of this and after some Goggling I found the original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722136
UPDATE see post 52 on page 6 for KitKat files UPDATE
With that thread I made a copy of the default_gain.conf for my P3113 and made the modifications.
This Hack comes in 2 forms "MAXX Volume" and "BOOSTED Volume"
Maxx Volume has the value turn up all the way to 63 getting the most out of it, but in listening today I feel like sometimes may have a slight distortion, so I created a second one just now called Boosted Volume that only goes to 61 instead of 63 with the hope that the slight reduction will remove any signs of distortion but won't be able to test it till tomorrow.
This SHOULD work on all the Tab 2's as is but make a backup of your current version of the default_gain.conf file before starting.
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download which of the 2 you want and unzip the file
2. Copy the file (default_gain.conf) to the internal storage of your tablet
3. Now using a file browser with FULL root privileges copy the file to System / ETC replacing the one in there now, reset file permissions if necessary (I didn't have to using ES File Explorer)
4. Reboot the tablet and check that all sounds are working
5. Profit
Warning this will signifigantly increase the max volume of your headphones and listening to headphones at such high a level for extended periods CAN AND WILL cause damage to your hearing!!!
This Hack is primarily for those of us that use the tablet as an audio source to run into the Head Unit of our car stereos.
The Maxx Volume is tested and working on a P3113 but should work on all versions of the Tab 2's (so long as the ROM your running has a default_gain.conf file in it for you to overwrite), Please report in if it works for you on other versions of the Tab 2
Odds are this will probably only work on Stock based ROMS as this is a Samsung specific tweak and non stock based ROMs (from what I've seen) don't appear to have the file in there system at all.
EDIT: I've added 2 additional files that are for ONLY NON STOCK ROMS like CM, AOKP or others based off of them. The difference in the install is this file needs to go into System / ETC / Sounds, I have not tested these personally but give it a try and let me know if it works.
EDIT 2: I've added a new file called Revised Stock Boosted, I did some testing and this is almost a perfect match volume wise switching between my tablet and the headunits CD player (tested using the same song). This was my ultimate goal to match the output of the tab to the volume of the HU when playing CD's, of course this is for my radio, but you can try it and see if it matches yours.
I thnik this goes in themes and apps but im not sure.
Anyways. Nice! Will it work on cyanogenmod/cm-based?

I wasn't totally sure where to put it, but the original thread I got the info from was in Development for another device.
I haven't played with CM enough to say for sure (I'm running a stock based ROM), but all you need to do is go into that folder using a root file browser and if there is a default_gain.conf file in there then it should work.
Nice, i noticed a definite increase. It works well on stock, but there wasn't the right file for the ROM I'm running. However, i was able to find the sound config file, and edit it with the values from your hack. i went to etc/sounds/ and edited the file called expressowifi.
And it worked, i did it for both speakers and headphones.
Edit: Oops i must of did something wrong when i pasted the code. I just found where it said speakers changed the output value to 63 and did the same for headphones.
Thanks.

Hey man.. U don't knw what u have done for us.. I tried ur boosted non stock mod in my cm based rom (slimbean).. N it works like a charm.. I definitely feel increase in volume.. I didn't try maximum mod as u said earlier it has some kind of distortion.. Massive thanks to u man.. Amazing..
Come on guys.. Tried it.. As we all know custom rom has bit lesser sound volume as compared to stock.. So tried his mod.. U will definitely pleased after using it..
Download boosted or maximum non stock mod.. Extract it to sdcard card.. Go to system/etc/sound n replace the file with the downloaded one.. If u find espressorf in the place of espressowifi in system/etc/sound.. Jus rename the downloaded file matching with ur default file and simply replace it.. Set permission.. Reboot.. Enjoy..

PAC is a NON stock ROM, try using one of the ones listed for NON-stock and copy it to system/etc/sound replacing the expressowifi file, I have already said default_gain.conf does NOT work with CM or AOKP and PAC is a combination of those 2 and Paranoid android (which would also be NON-stock based) all of those builds have to be tried with the NON-stock options.

I realize that PAC is non-stock. I was just confirming that there was no default_gain.conf file. BUT I think when I downloaded the file from the OP the non-stock files were not there yet. I installed the non-stock expressowifi and the audio is great. Thanks for your helpful comments. Sorry you had to repeat yourself but if you didn't, I might not have looked back and noticed the newer files.
I used non-stock boosted volume file on my CM10.1 tab. It work and louder than before, it's like night and day. :good: :victory: I didn't try Max volume yet maybe later. It's already awesome with boosted volume. Thanks !!!!

They where added after I was informed about the file differences between stock and non-stock so I made the mods for them aswell, here's to hoping the ROM devs notice it and start incorporating it into future releases. It was a footnote in the OP so it's not surprising you didn't see it.
I've got some more testing to do but I hope to release a final revised version of this before the weekend gets here as I'll be going on vacation, this will be a mix of the previous versions a sort of MAX boosted (boosted pushed to just under the threshold that gets the harshness I heard in the MAX version).

and copy the expressowifi file...copy the original file first..
good work ... i'm with PSN Stock Rom ... and i see the difference
I'm using SlimRom 6.5 and there is no default_gain.conf in etc\sound.
But there is a file called espressorf
It can be edited in the same way. Works like a charm.
I think this mod would be great if you could add more volume steps to make the volume control smoother. I tried to search for such a mod (which I had in my Xperia phone) but can't find something similar for the tab 2. Thanks

Well, it appears for these soundpacks to work, the original sounds have to be present. I usually delete most of the media files and some system apps before flashing a ROM so a lot of these sounds weren't working for me. So what I did was extract them to system/media/ui and set permissions, and that did it.
They are a tad loud, though. Otherwise, cool idea.

Regardless of whether or not you have sound in /system/media/audio/ui, sound packs should work. Do you have the option in Settings > Sounds?

This is a cool idea...I own a recording studio and record mix and master music for a living but I have never messed with this type of thing. I want to try to make a few of these packs. If I'm reading correctly they just need to be installed in the system sounds folder?? Anything other special instructions I need??

Check the links in the first post. You have to create an xml file to correspond to the sound files, I think, and zip them up. And they have to be in ogg format.
That Linux Mint soundpack is really nice, thanks @chasmodo !!

Just for fun I made a pack, check it out! It's a mixture of sounds, some from a free sound effects site and a couple I made myself.

Yup, work perfectly
You should acknowledge Monivan's work for the stereo mod
His stereo mod's been around for half an year so you should at least give him credit for the hard work - it's a lot harder to find the settings in a SND_fusion file than it is in Mixer_paths. I've tested the first versions and it was a lot of work logging every type of output to make full stereo settings. So, give him some credit mate!

I whole heartly agree with this, as I was a beta tester for the sony stock rom version, and I know how much work he put into it.
A credit is the least the o.p could do. Z removal would be better, as l think its more of a duplicate.

S4 Volume Boost ¸¸♬·¯·♩¸¸♪·¯·♫
All sounds boosted by 4, I choose to increase by only 4 as I felt this gave a great boost to the stock level without sound distortion.
from feedback, this is the best/perfect level of sound
the headphone volume is increased slightly more
Easy flash guide:
Drop .zip onto internal or ext storage
and flash with a custom recovery.
