Hi, I have ran into this problem when I installed JDCTeam's AOSP 7.1.2 rom for my I9505. The sound quality of videos is great but when I record Whatsapp or Messenger voice message the volume is really low and can barely hear it. I tried fixing it using the sliders in STweaks but only made the camera volume distorted and had no effect on voice recording in Messenger and Whatsapp. Any ideas?
Thank!
I believe you can adjust stuff by modifying values in the mixer_paths.xml file.
Don't ask me what to modify or where it is located, I have never done it myself so I have no experience with it.
I looked it up and had the speaker volume or whatever it was called at 70 and people said I should not go over 70 ..

But you're not looking to increase speaker volume, you're looking to increase the microphone gain and I'm pretty sure there must be some string that controls it.

I think problem is videocall uses bottom mic. Top mic didnt use by whatsapp or etc. Increase mic settings by stweaks wont work.
I finally tried using mixer_paths but didn't work. Any other ideas?

guys ive seen som eposts about problems with volume but i cant find a solution for my problem
when in a call i cant adjust the volume???????
when i push up or down the volume screen appears and it moves up and down but it doesnt actually decrease or increase the volume??? any ideas please?
ive tried the system tab and also the ring tab
its really loud and quite annoying
Do you have S2U2 installed? Encountered a similar problem with this S/W installed....had to remove it unfortunately, after using it on several previous devices.....
hmm no i dont have s2u2 installed, il have to see if i installed something that caused this
anyone?????????
got the same pronblem... not sure since when. I have installed s2u2, but set it like recommended by other users who definitely CAN control the in-call-volume... got no idea... looks like a hard-reset may be necessaray... but I just don't want ang got no time... ****...
regards jan
I CAN control the volume, but it doesn't go to zero. I mean the minimum value is still high.
earpiece volume too low
i thought i'd post this here: i have found the earpiece volume during a call to be rather too low, even though i set the volume to the highest level. other aspects of the sound function seem to work nicely, loud speaker and headphones are pretty loud, but the earpiece is too damn low. any thoughts..
any idea if HD tweak can increase the earpiece volume
i found that option 3.3 acoustic setting when set to maximal increased my earpiece volume dramatically during calls. and that option 3.4 increase sound increases the ringer volume. can anyone confirm
i just got my HTC HD...my happiness knew no bounds...
but when i made calls...the world fell on me ...the ear piece volume is too low compared to other mobiles; its hardly hearable
i might be missing something...plz help me as soon as possible

could it be the simple issue that, by default, HD changes the ring volume and not the speaker volume when you press volume rocker?
you can check this and if this is your problem, do a search through the forum and you will find the registry tweak, or the volume cab to change this.
good luck!
Hi folks,
found another possible reason (but unfortunaly no solution yet) for in-call volume control not working... as this thread mainly focuses on s2u2, i've opened a new one here

Anyway to make the external speaker volume louder through a hack or app? Its way to low making it it useless for car navigation but more importantly I can't hear it ringing when I have it in my pocket.
After we manage to run custom roms from NAND, you can use DSPManager, but in the meantime, you can hack your AudioPara.CSV is you know how to.

they could probably increase it with a firmware update not 100% sure
as for ring volume as a work around just open an audio editing program like audacity and increase the volume of an mp3 that you plan to use as a ringtone then copy it to the device and use that it should be louder cause you have increased the volume of the mp3
its nto a fix for everything but its a work around for the ringer at least

AudioPara.CSV is a windows mobile file. This in an android device. Your instructions are useless.
I am also looking to increase audio volume. Mine is quite low, I cant even use speakerphone properly. You cant hear the person.
I also own the samsung galaxy and the desire hd is about half the volume, if that.
I can hardly hear anyone on this phone and the music/podcast playback is ridiculously low. Did anyone in HTC actually use this phone before manufacturing it?
Their donkeys did...
I dont find it that low.
Was about to set a alarm signal and it was too low to hear.
But instead I choose to use a file from the music folder and
it was much louder.
Seamed strange, but the volume is OK!
I dont know what I am doing wrong but I find the sound level extremely poor for calls
I tried with a bluetooth headset, the outside speaker and the jack with my mp3 headset
it's pretty weird since when I play videos or music I am impressed by how loud I can push the Tab...
I am on AT&T with JMC (but was the same on JM6). And I set the sound at max
anybody has the same issue? Am I doing something wrong? Or is there any sound booster app for calls? (and is it necessary?)
Thanks for your help
My Tab isn't phone-enabled, but since you're new to Android, I thought I should point out that there are multiple volume settings, and in-call volume is one of them. Menu Key -> Settings -> Sound Settings -> Volume should give you all the sliders (Ringtone, Media, Alarm, System, Notification...). There are apps/widgets too that let you get to/change these settings without having to go into the settings menu every time (audio manager has been a decent widget for me). Until you're actually in the call the hardware rocker is usually doing the ringtone or media volume.
When I use mine with Skype 60% is usually blaringly loud for me, and I don't even have the system or media volume maxed out.
Sorry if it's something you know you've done, but thought it might help. If not, maybe someone else has had the same issue and solved it.

yes this I had figured out and set at the maximum
Everything non call related is really strong... It's conversation from normal calls that is ridiculously low
Am I the only one ?? What's wrong with my tab ?
Anyone with an opinion about this ?
Voice-enabled on AT&T with JM6. Have good results with the built-in speakers and cheap Nokia BH-214 stereo Bluetooth earbuds. I ordered the OEM earbuds, but I do understand that the 3.5mm jack port in finicky. Is your Bluetooth 2.1 or newer? Do you have many open applications when trying to place or receive calls? I've notice the sound stutter a bit on the speakers when I've got several apps open.
Here's something I noticed, when in call using my BT Headset, the volume slider sometimes says its on max but the output isnt. Try to lower or increase your volume. Once you hear the max level beep, it gets louder.
Im on a SingTel Tab by the way.

Thank you, will try right away
Edit: yeah I can definitely reduce the volume but my max was my actual max. As anybody tried to compare the volume on the speaker when playing music whith the volume on the speaker when on a call... It's like 5 to 10 times higher volume on a call !! And then same issue on a headset

As mentioned I tried it with everything I could... The default external speaker, a simple stereo headset (Not bluetooth), a bluetooth headset. They all give the same. Low volume
If you don't like volume in speaker, headset, bluetooth....You can change settings in "hidden" Audio menu. There you can change volume of individual ouput, but be careful!!!!!
Before change anything, make sure you can put it back the same number if you are not satisfied or have problem ..so wright it somewhere anything you wish to change.
Good Luck with experiment. If I remember correctly(from my old Samsung i780-Windows phone) "TX" settings is for output and "RX" for imput, but I can be wrong, so be careful.

what I do is, when in a call, I lower the volume by about 2, then increase it until i hear the max volume beep. The moment i hear it, the volume on my headset usually jumps up.
I have the same problem with the speaker volume. At maximum you cannot hear it. The bluetooth seems to work OK. IIRC JK5 software seemed to work correctly.

So I guess for you too, music or movies play with a high volume on the speakers whereas for calls it's rather low volume ?
Yes bluetooth or headset I can hear but still quite low volume compared with music...

My problem is specifically for calls. Anything else is fine and working well. That's the weird issue... I dont want to boost the volume for anything else!
That's pretty weird... I have been playing with the tab and I found out that for calls, the highest level I can have (by hear) is two notches below the highest. That's by far the loudest I get (If I push higher the sound decreases)
Am I the only one ? It really pisses me off.... I don't know how it can be like that (I am on JMC ROM after flashing a JM6 ROM over the JK5 from Russia (I am on an AT&T Tab flashed to get phone working)
Someone else get the same experience ?
I can confirm that the max 'in call' volume is two notch below the max !!! And I have the same tab/setting of the OP.
Aren't there some codes you can enter to adjust the volume level on calls and music, etc.?? like the Galaxy S?

Thanks ! Ina sense I am a littel bit relieved to see I am not the only one !
Such a stupid bug. Come on Samsung...
FYI it is fixed with the firmware JME
Sound level is much more acceptable and the highest level is not anymore two notched below the max
Please help. I am running XBROM and everything is perfect except for low in call volume. I have looked for a tweak but am not sure how to fix this. I am new to all this. I KNOW IT IS NOT MAX IN CALL UI, also the media app does not fix this, it states that in the description of the up. So please help
If it's not this one :
•Q - How do i increase the in call volume, its set to max (10) but is still too quiet?
•A - Change this reg key : HKCU/ControlPanel/Volume/MaxinCallUIVolume from 10 to 15 (15 is loud enough for me, be careful going much higher)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then what could it be ?
UI only changes the amount of numbers in increases. So instead of max loudness being 10 it increases it to 15 but the 15 is the same loudness as 10.

You can use sound enhancer and media volume settings, avail from the htc hub, and market apps
Hmm i got the same problemen changed that key but didnt work.
Yea, it is way too low. Sometimes have to put calls on speakerphone to hear. Tried the fix given, but like others, it didn't make it any louder.
Media volume app does not increase in call volume either. Is there a registry tweak or not?
Agree definately too low ...
Same problem here...
I wish I knew how to fix this, I would. Maybe some of the roms are louder? I am running XB and moonlight wasn't any better. I might switch to android for this and tethering.
I want to increase the incall volume of the handset/earpice (whatever you call it) but i cant find the value of it in the mixer_paths.xml file
If you have another way to do so, i will glad to know how. Since sounds mod dont work with dorimanx kernel (which im using), i cant boost the handset volume and its too low, i always ask people on the other side to speak louder

It's < CTL name= RX 1 Digital Volume value= 60
But I don't think that changing it will help I'm pretty sure that dorimax kernel will prevent it from actually increasing the volume no matter what you set the volume at but hey it's worth a try
My suggestion would be to switch to simple kernel and use my all volumes booster mod which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2769799

I really appreciate your work, but i cant give up on battery life and smooth operating phone for louder in-call earpiece volume, so i think i will stick with dorimanx.
Anyways, i tried changing the earpiece volume in build.prop but it didnt work, and you are saying that changing the mixer_paths.xml wont help either, so you have any other solution?

Sorry I wasn't saying it won't work it's just that I don't think it'll work you can give it a try and see no harm no foul but besides that t the only other things I could suggest is trying these apps first try viper4android which I highly recommend and second volume plus app
But V4A cant boost the in-call volume,it only affects speaker, headphones jack and bluetooth or usb i dont remember. Im using this app, its great, but i cant find any eariece option
