Madhi Rom seems to have a different mixer_path.xml file. Thanks to zephik.

How to Manually adjust.
1.Using a root Explorer(ROM toolbox, ES, etc.) go to system/etc.
2.Open mixer_path.xml with an built in xml editor.
3.Values you need to adjust are close to the bottom of the file. Description is pretty self explanatory.
4.See image below. The values I have set to "88" can be changed to affect Speaker and headphones. Now edit your values.
5.Save changes, reboot and enjoy!

6.To adjust in-call volume. Go back to mixer_paths.xml. Look for the "ear" path under analog output devices. Edit volume value, save and reboot.
The image below has the value set to "93". Edit this value.

CM11 nightlies got this fix merged last night. So this shouldn't be needed on CM11 with new nightly builds.

This mod only affects the external bottom speakers and headphones. I'm running nightly 7/31 with med increase. They did do something with the XML file to make it more device specific. The only change I see for volume in nightly 8/1 is for voice paths. Still I like my volume slightly increased.

Thanks for this great mod.Sound is better now.
Any chance for a mod that should also increase the Internal Speaker.There is an option for it in franco's kernel but since it still suffers from random reboots i prefer to be in stock kernel.
I believe everyone will also appreciate a mod for louder internal speaker.

On Mahdi rom, volume boost worked on speaker but no sound from headphones. Reverted to stock file and headphones work again!

I can confirm this. I reverted the changes to "headphones" and sound plays on the headphones again.
Heres the link to it, https://www.mediafire.com/?7i863p82coury87 (its the loud from OP version with default "headphones" values)

I believe V4a installs a modified equalizer, files and libs improving sound quality. I have it running on Liquid Smooth atm. I still adjust my volume. Just what I prefer. I need my alarm loud enough to wake me up for work. Plus I got a pair of Beats I'd like to use to it's full potential. Also I think the speakers on the One are good but not great. I've heard better but it still gets the job done. So don't think this is some miracle mod to improve your speaker quality..lol. It just boost volume for speakers and headphones.

    Since we both on Mahdi... wanted to know if this has already been implemented.. Thanks

    No it has not. I noticed that this mod and the Mahdi mixer_paths had different # of lines so I took the Mahdi mixer_paths and changed the values myself. Credit still goes to OP anyways, all I did was just modify it accordingly to mahdi to have the same # of lines in the file.

    Loud+ for Mahdi ROM [Speakers with values set to 92. Increased In-Call Volume Value set to 93] Headphones value remains at 88.
