Low Volume Issues

I know this is a common issue with this device,and was wondering if any solution has been found?I have tried multiple 3rd party apps and nothing seems to work solid.I read through threads and didn't see anything posted from other users about any remedy.I apologize if it's already been discussed and I over looked it.Thanks.
 
I thought I would share this and it works for this problem.Requires root which most of us have anyway.Hope this helps some with the same issue.

1. GO TO /SYSTEM/ETC AND LOCATION MIXER_PATHS.XML
2. OPEN FILE USING A TEXT EDITOR OR DOWNLOAD AN XML EDITOR FROM THE PLAY STORE.
3. SCROLL DOWN CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM AND LOOK FOR <PATH NAME="SPEAKER">
4. BELOW IT YOU WILL SEE THIS LINE:
<ctl name="RX3 Digital Volume" value="84" />
5. CHANGE VALUE FROM "84" TO WHATEVER YOU WANT, I RECOMMEND 90 - 95.
6. SCROLL TO THE VERY TOP OF THE SCRIPT AND FIND:
<ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX2 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX3 Digital Volume" value="84" />
<ctl name="RX4 Digital Volume" value="84" />
7. CHANGE ALL OF THESE VALUES TO THE SAME VALUE YOU SET AT BELOW.
8. SAVE CHANGES AND REBOOT.

No problem..glad I could share this with others who have this phone.I never could understand why ZTE set the mixer paths so low on this device.But it's rockin' now...:-)
