By flashing this you'll get the ringtone/notifications coming from both speakers when somebody calls you, stereo speakers in-call if you switch to the loudspeaker and you will also get a slight headphones boost.
Let me know if you want to modify something else with the sound output on the Z2.
As always - proceed at your own risk.
This will boost EVERY OUTPUT on your Z2! Stereo speakers everywhere! 1.5 for .167 ONLY
Old stuff down there.

Now this is a mod we all need.
Wondering if both speakers are utilized while talking over the speakerphone? Currently it uses a single speaker.
Stupid question, do i have to be rooted to use this mod?

Nicely done man! Really appreciating it. Any chance that you could increase the general speaker output volume / quality?
Does this mod works with speaker boost mod provided in RomAur 2.1 rom?

You mean if you turn on the loudspeaker during a call? It shouldn't be hard. Which speaker is playing now if you're on loudspeaker during a call? Top or bottom?

Could you share the mod without headphone boost? For us user of Doomkernel, we can already do this at a kernel level (but not yet speaker boost).
Thanks in advance.

This mod is without any boost ?
Thank you guys for your words.
First version is with headphones boost, second one without.

It's integrated in S4pro chip, just like N4 and OG
Thanks noxlord !
Bad news for us then ...
@lokenok Thanks Mr Obvious.
In s4pro really good DAC but quiet. So question whether there are additional amplifiers.
This is SONY we're talking about... they always paid lots of attention to their devices' Walkman feature so i'm sure they won't screw this one up.
I seriously hope the DAC is good..although there is always the root tweaks
If the DAC is not good, tweaks won't help. But I'm also confident that Sony did their work great.
NOTE 1 has a bad DAC but with tweaks it sounds great!
The HTC One s was loud and that has a S4 chip, I have also listened to the Nexus 4 and the audio is very good, also xperia T is good but just needs to be a bit louder
Yeah, sound is said to be really good on N4, but really low too.
I hope Sony techies will amplify the sound. I'd really love to use good IEMs on this device.
My local three store had a xperia z today (was very surprised at this actually) had over and hours play with it love everything about it and the audio is very good, it is more than loud enough. I also played with the nexus 4 again and the Z is louder not that the nexus 4 is low in volume.

Nothing short of amazing, I was amazed by the screens on the Xperis S & T this one is a whole new league and plus its the first 1080p screen I have seen. It is just amazing and totally cannot wait to get mine on feb 28th or march 1st.
@dibdin There's already an interesting screen topic in Q&A. Let's keep it about the sound here.
@RWSAMHTC Thanks for your input ! Which kind of headphones did you try it with ? Do you know their impedance ?

I tried it with my urbeats in ear headsets. I tried 15 different types of songs from bashment, reggae, rnb etc. I mostly like bass and loudness and the xperia z did very well I am very please with it. Loudness in headphones was always my main issue, now I dont need to worry about that. I also tried the loudspeaker it was loud enough not the loudest of speakers but loud enough. couldnt try any phone calls though. Also test camera and video and video audio quality which on my one x and sgs3/gn2 wasnt the greatest atall. Very impressed with the z really. Atm the only think i think it needs is a blocking mode for calls and texts.
OK great to hear [no pun intended] that the sound is 'LOUD'..Other aspects like the bass and all can be tweaked..i was hoping that i wont have to carry an amplifier.
I played around with different equalizer settings, really impressed with bass and the loudness
Odp: [Q] Xperia Z's Audio DAC ?
So the loudness of a speaker is comparable due to Xperia T?

Loud speaker seems louder than the T, the Ts loudspeaker was just poor imo.
Now i'm very disappointed of Xperia V sound for listening music because when i played with Walkman Player, sound are not stable.When i taste with Clear Bass +8 or +10, sound output is low volume with not stable. Sometime sound volume was increase level but sometime decrease with not stable for listening. Original Walkman Player 4.1.2 on Xperia V is very lousy with not look like My Old Xperia Neo. Why ???? When i used Sony Ericssion Xperia Neo, Everythings r very good & taste with Clear Bass +8db or +10db, sound
is very good taste for feeling. Now i changed Neo to Xperia V, very disappointed for listening for songs of music. And then cannot use Xperia Neo headphone on Xperia V.
How can i do Xperia Neo sound quality on Xperia V??? I don't like sound for listen my new Xperia V.

I have the V, too.
If you give so much bass to the sound, it is no wonder the system will try best to limit the volume for preventing damage to the tiny speaker, the headphone or your ears. Especially in conjunction with a cheap headphone that might be quite annoying, yep. If you like bass then buy headphones that deliver bass without the need for pumping it up artificially.
Thanks Bro! do u know how to stop limit volume for preventing damage to the tiny speaker?? i don't want to need limit the volume for clear bass.
It's depend on limit from system or headphone bro?? i like more my old xperia neo headphone but V is not support for Neo.
Thanks

Acid Audio: Good all-in-one-package. Very popular. But some say, it's a little unstable. (And I'm not quite sure if this one worked for me )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2177709
Viper Audio: Lots of settings, but more a convoler. Some say it sounds a little unnatural, others love it.
Btw I recommend xHiFi version, it's better imo. ^^
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
PureXAudio: Clearest sound of them all. Also has a great bass! Using this one myself.
Make sure to only flash the lite version, as the full one only supports Xperia Z!

It's the OEM earpiece, if you are using it.
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!

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

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!
