Let’s face it. Even at max volume, sometimes the speaker on your phone just isn’t loud enough (Yes, I’m looking at you Nexus 5). *However, you*could digitally raise the maximum volume that the speaker allows itself to go to. This will require a rooted android device and could run the risk of damaging your speakers if you go too high, so be warned.
What You will Need:
A rooted Android DeviceES File Explorer
Step 1: Mounting the System
Open up ES file explorer and enable the root explorer. *Then tap on the root explorer tab and a menu will pop up. *Select the Mount R/W tab and mount both*system and /*as*r/w.

Step 3: Changing the Speaker Volume
To change the speaker volume, look for the line*RX7 Digital Volume*under the*Path name= Speaker*and change the value to whatever you desire. *(Going over 95 has the potential of blowing your speaker though).

Step 4: Changing the Headphone Volume
To change the headphone volume, *look for the lines:
<ctl name=”HPHL Volume” /
<ctl name=”HPHR Volume” />
Change the values to 20. *Don’t go beyond 20. *You can also change the RX1 and RX2 values to something like 85, once again, don’t go beyond 95.

Afterwards,*reboot*and you should notice an increase in volume. *Feel free to play around with the other volume settings found in the mixer_paths.xml, just make sure you have a backup and not to blow out your speaker! Android Boost speaker volume success!
