Thought i may as well post this as it has not been posted yet
This is essentially a kernel modification that tweaks the audio settings "for optimal loudness and achieve 5 steps of 3db each."
Hopefully cyanogen will incorporate this into his next kernel build, but if you want it now, you can build your own version of his kernel with these modifications - http://github.com/cyanogen/cm-kernel/commit/f044b1069c4d853e535fce2b800a0af4947a22f7#L0R46
Also, it should be noted that those values are the 'optimal' volume settings. You could make it a hell of a lot louder if you want, the values are pretty easy to understand!
You will need to build your own kernel though, which is kindly explained by cyanogen here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/How_to_build_a_kernel_port
Mind you, that's for a donut kernel, so it will need to be amended.
enjoy
edit: it seems Cyanogen's done the work for you! Here's a pre-made version - testing directory.
It may be worthwhile to note that Cyanogen has already built a kernel with this mod, it can be found in his testing directory.
Though, myself, I can't imagine why anyone wants it to be louder... I mean, with my headphones on, I can't physically stand the volume above around 80% (in fact my music profile defaults to 70% which is plenty for almost all my music - save a few live recordings that require the push to 80%).

Thanks for that, i'll add it to the OP.
I think most people have really only been complaining about the main loudspeaker volume, rather than the headset volume.
80% are you crazy i want audio hack to be alot louder i want my ears to ring and bleeeed!!!!!!

Gotcha, I might think the loudspeaker is a little weak as well, but I just increased the volume on my ringtones, and voila. Though, it is annoyingly soft for sharing Youtube videos with people... maybe this ain't such a bad idea..
Since I can just set my volume a little lower when I put my bigassed headphones on.

Yeah, I actually value my hearing.. And for the majority of my music 70% is more than enough, even though I work around loud machinery. I also have nice headphones though, and that makes a world of difference.

Agreed!!
Regardless, it's nice to have the option there. I just use this mod with my volume at 50% instead of 70% and if a certain album hasn't been normalized properly, I have that headroom.
Thank you so much for this hack. I've been posting in the other Audio Hack thread and it's great to see some progress for the Nexus One.
Seriously. Thank you!!

if the hack appears to increase bluetooth call volume, can i assume that it also increases in-call earpiece volume as well? thanks.
All I have to say is that this mod is awesome. Makes the speaker actually useful.

I installed it as soon as it was in the portal. It works really well, no problems.
I installed it, but I just didn't really notice much of a difference. I don't know if it makes a difference if you're using headphones or what not but just listening to music thorugh the phone, I just didn't notice a lot of difference.
Speaking of which, a student of mine left his Beats headphones on my desk. So I decided to check them out while at the gym. They were pretty cool...not enough midrange and i didn't think the highs were high enough. Then I asked how much he paid for them
OMG! Really?! I thought the Bose headset I checked out sounded a lot better and were less than half the price.

You just asked everything I was about to
I just used the zip that was in the thread and used beta 1 cwm, and yes the only difference is with headphones as far as I can tell.
do i just install the files for anyandroid 2.3+?
That doesnt tell us what zip.
2.3? Samsung?
I hae flashed the all android, the Samsung and the 3-2-2012 zips and the files don't install.
When I try to do it manually and fix permissions my phone will not boot up.
Weird.

Ok. i flashed that zip and plugged in headphones. there is no beats notification. or any indication that it actually works.
Just did the same. No idea if its doing anything or not.
Power Amp
install PowerAmp from the market this will blow your headset or your eardrums , i have never heard audio this loud out of a headset !!
No beats notification but there is a definite difference in sound quality

Did you flash this zip or manually move them?
I learned about this app from DL and the Gnex. I got my speakerphone volume up to 10+. No distortion at this level and sounds much better.
The weird thing is the speakerphone sounds really weird in-call and low volume as well. Someone mentioned this could be an issue with the rom I'm using though
Just wondering if anyone else is having any luck with this.
If you think it's volume+ related, uninstall volume+ and test it out. If you think it's ROM related...try another ROM...
dsp manager is better than volume+ but the only solution to higher speaker volumes will be when the devs incorporate volume tweaks into the kernels. more likely when aosp comes.
I have been using volume+ as well and the bluetooth performance is excellent for phone and media in my car. It's awesome how you can literally change the speaker profiles and instantly hear the levl adjusting on the fly.... I do have a question about the In call setting that ask for root access; I'm not really sure what those 'steps' represent?

I've bought it in the past and am considering it for the ics ROMs. Now that we have BT streaming fixed, it seems to have knocked down the speakerphone volume. I'm hoping volume+ boosts that a bit.

Yeah I notice this too. The speaker phone volume was low to begin with but I installed an ICS rom the first day I got the phone so I really don't have much to compare the issues I'm experiencing.
All I can say is the volume of someone calling is about the same volume their voice comes out of my speaker when I turn speaker phone on which is ridiculous.
Than I go to play my music and the phone is loud as hell. I can even take this thing in the bathroom with me while I shower and hear the volume pretty good over the water so the fact that it's not working with calls seems odd...
Has anyone tried going over 10+ on speaker? It says "loudest for most phones" next to that number but than there are options to bring it all the way up to 20. I'm too nervous to go past 10. Don't want to blow my speaker out.
Where is dsp manager? I cant find it in the market. Is it an app from someone on xda? I found Volume+ but I didnt want to mess with that based on the responses here.

S5 Volume Boost ¸¸♬·¯·♩¸¸♪·¯·♫
.v1 Lite
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
.v2 Medium
All sounds boosted by 5, Medium Level sound increase. personally untested due lite is best for me.
.v3 Extra Loud
All sounds boosted by 6, Extra Loud Level sound increase. personally untested, could cause a crackle sound when music, ringtone etc is
played.
.v4 Lite + Headphone Increase
Same as Lite, apart the headphone volume is increased slightly more, tested and is ok for a boost to your tunes
v5 g900f 4.4.2 Headphone only increase http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54862671&postcount=243
v5 g900f Lollipop http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58039332&postcount=420
It would be a good idea to do a Nandroid backup or a backup of your mixer_path.xml file in /system/etc before hand.
From feedback, I believe versions 1 to 4 might work on other variants like the Sprint, T-mobile etc. But please Backup before testing.
If you have a variant other than the G900F and want a 100% working boost I need your mixer_paths.xml from your device.
Any problems please reply, and flash the G900F restore to get back to stock level
Easy flash guide:
Drop .zip onto internal or ext storage
and flash with a custom recovery.
Hope you like, and any questions please ask
Update 9/12/2014:
Added TW Lollipop for g900f
Added CM12/ASOP Lollipop for g900f
Added TW for g901f
All are v4 boosts
These do NOT work on the G900H, other variants use with caution

Took me a while to find the correct file to modify as its changed since the s4. Also this is my first time doing such thing to release to XDA
So Please flash at own risk. I have tested this on my ROOTED G900F and works great. I don't see why it wouldn't work on other S5 models.

Downloading and and will test. I find so far the other mods over on the TMobile S5 XDA site seem to distort. They have three mods...lite...medium...loud and even the lite version seems to add quite a bit of distortion.
NICE!!!!. Just the right amount, IMHO. No more distortion when I max the volume. Plus I have Viper4 FX onboard running nicely. You have to upgrade to the latest 2.3.3.0 to have it work correctly. This is on my G900T.

again great job on the boost and it will be my daily driver for now , hoping you can release another with a bit more boost to it for speaker volume

Just tested it and you're right my bootsound went and phone lagged bad!! I've re-flashed v1 from 1st page and its fixed the phone.
I deleted the v2 attachment also from last post, Think the problem is I may have max'd out one of the sound volumes beyond its limits, causing total lag.
will look into it and find what ones I can turn up safely, thanks for reporting it to me before many people had same problem!

Ok found the problem will release a new one, but I really don't think it's a good idea going too loud, as you said the s5 speaker tends to crackle at too high volume boost.
Okay I've increased the main speaker and ear speaker by 6. I still think v1 on main post is perfect level but if you want louder.. then here it is.
EDIT: tested v2_fix and I still prefer v1. the v2 makes my ring tone crackle slightly

Aw he pulled it. I hope this means he's working on a new version.
I was also gonna add if it doesn't work it could be because it worked for an older version or a beta version.

Ask the dev to update it or integrate it into Lineage 15 official.
Otherwise *Shrugs* neither work. Maybe they work for the beta versions of Magisk? I don't know as I use stable.
Its working. Just not like you expect. The sound from the earpiece is not loud enough for you to notice.
It's working with pixel experience rom
