By default, when watching a video on MX Player the audio volume is set to be in sync with the phone media volume. This means, when you lower or increase the volume on MX Player you are controlling your Android phone media volume. So basically, the loudness of the audio of the video playing is not determined by MX Player but by your phone media volume.

If the speaker of your phone is not loud, then the audio volume will definitely be poor when watching video or listening to music on your phone irrespective of the player you used.

The 15 audio volume steps sync with the phone media volume, with 1 being the lowest volume and 15 being the highest volume. However, you can push the volume steps to 30 thereby increasing the audio volume by 200%. This is one of the features I like most on MX Player and it is the reason why I still use it. It works irrespective of the video format and audio format.
