This is even after I get to the volume warning and keep going. My old phone (Apple iPhone 4) was far louder at full than the Jolla.
I don't mind having to mess around with pulseaudio or whatever else to get it done either.

Found a fix here
Tried djselbeck's fix, not a good one in my experience. Any touchscreen activity other than taps caused audio to stop.
Had much better luck with the following.
pactl set-sink-volume sink.primary 120% and now it matches the max volume I'm used to.
Apparently I should be using the format that pacmd uses, set-sink-volume sink.primary 0x12000 if I want to put it in a config file, but the one that pulseaudio seems to use, /etc/pulse/arm_qct_msm8930_cdp.pa freaks out if I add anything in it.
Can't seem to find where it logs to either so I have no idea exactly what's going on.
Good enough for now so I'll mark this as closed.
Not good enough. This does cause digital clipping, the audio becomes horrible quality-wise.
Reopen the ticket maybe? This solution is not good. Also, for me, the fix djselbeck suggested doesn't work, jolla resets the file's contents if I try to replace it/edit it.

If the volume is too low only in Android Apps, install an Android volume control app.
Volume+ 2.0.0 beta seems to work very well at least for the loudspeaker with Android's YouTube app. It can be downloaded from Releases section in the site's forum, registration is required (I downloaded it directly with Sailfish browser).

hullabaluh ( 2015-01-02 01:17:12 +0200 )editI'll try Viper4Android... later I add the results.
UPDATE: So, Done. I remember Viper4Android from Android devices. It is a amazing DSP (various stereo effects, spatialization, reverb, volume leveling, and a little boost, EQ and many more, also supports x86 Andies).
For that is required rooted Alien Dalvik (it is in Open Repos). Installation was bit klunky, because V4a installs it's own drivers on first launch, Ok, I launched it together with Superuser tool (inclooded with rooted AD), but finaly I got it through Google play music (Settings.... Equalizer). And it promted to restart phone... Restarted...
And I found that, the Android apps can not determine, what kind of audio gear is used - headphones, internal speaker, BT or else. They are working in internal speaker mode. But audio device selection is left in care of SFOS.

Check the pactl and pacmd from CLI. It mIght be also a problem with the impedance of the headphones you use. Anyway, prolonged listening with too high volume will damage your ears...
