[BUG] volume boost after 100 prcnt not works on armv8a phone #1837

Description

@AkashPriyadarshii

Describe the bug
Volume boost above 100% does not apply any audible boost.

To Reproduce

  1. Open any video in NextPlayer
  2. Go to Settings → Audio → Volume boost
  3. Set boost above 100% (e.g. 150%)
  4. Play video — no audible change

Expected behavior
Audio volume should increase beyond system max when boost is enabled.

Device info (please complete the following information):

  • Device: Realme GT7
  • Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 9400e
  • Android version: 16
  • Architecture: armv8a / ARM64

Additional context
Already tried: switching to Software Decoder, force-stopping app and re-enabling boost, testing multiple video files/codecs, lower boost values (120-130%), system media volume already at max. None fixed it. Suspect LoudnessEnhancer audio effect isn't properly exposed by audio HAL on this chipset/Android 16.
