You can do this easily with the simple mod. To get this all you need a rooted phone with CWM or TWRP recovery.

The sound boost mod is available in three loudness levels: lite, medium and high. Here is the following guide which you can use on your device and apply the mod on your device. Read all the instructions very carefully and don’t forget to take the nandroid backup of your device.
NOTE:- The mod has been tested successfully on the international Galaxy S5 LTE SM-G900F, T-Mobile S5 SM-G900T, Canadian Galaxy S5 G900W8, etc.
Details of Galaxy S 5 Mods:-
.v1 Lite
All sounds boosted by 4, I choose to increase by only 4 as I felt this gave a great boost to the stock level without sound distortion.
from feedback this is the best/perfect level of sound
.v2 Medium
All sounds boosted by 5, Medium Level sound increase. personally untested due lite is best for me.
.v3 Extra Loud
All sounds boosted by 6, Extra Loud Level sound increase. personally untested, could cause a crackle sound when music, ringtone etc is
played.
.v4 Lite + Headphone Increase
Same as Lite, apart the headphone volume is increased slightly more, tested and is ok for a boost to your tunes.
