There is but it requires root. The stock value for the speaker is...

<ctl name="RX8 Digital Volume" value="82" />

...but the perfect modified value is...

<ctl name="RX8 Digital Volume" value="84" />

Add this issue to the Album app taking 10+ seconds to render images it's really frustrating.

A few days ago I did a software repair (via Xperia Companion) just for the sake of it.But it seems that it was a good decision. I can say that volume level is higher now. It is not placebo because now I can't reach the max volume with the same headphones. And another thing, the auto optimization does wonders on a pair on Sennheiser Momentum.

Is the bottom (right) speaker working on your device?

Oreo didn't fix it...

Is it that hard to fix an issue like this one?
