While I am glad and thankful to see all those rom & kernel progresses are being made, noticed is that many roms still suffer broken in-call volume adjustments.
For those who work in rather quiet environment, I feel your pain. It sucks when all the nearby co-workers get to listen to your conversation.
Here, I suggest we make list of roms that do have working in-call adjustment. Please let us know if the rom you are on has it broken or functional.
I will start: Omni_20170618 has functional in-call volume adjustment.
AICP 12.1 (20170620) in-call volume adjustment works.
All customized-stock roms - in-call volume adjustment working in my case.
Haha just noticed its not working for me in omni latest(1806) build.

Got it working.
During a call, activate and deactivate the speakerphone, and voilla, from then on the volume control works. Even after I hang up, it keeps working properly ob all the subsequent calls, until I reboot.

I've been noticing the following strange behavior:
Sometimes the in-call volume is just too loud. Even on the minimum volume setting someone standing a couple of meters away from you will still perfectly hear the conversation. This only happens when receiving a call, never (as far as I can tell) when making one.
If during the call I switch on and then off the speaker, then the volume goes back to what it should be.
Has anyone noticed this before? Workarounds?
Yes, I've noticed this.
Always does it when it has been connected to a headset.
I seem to remember it went away when I installed the Modoco rom...
Mine still does it with the Modaco rom
@squirreleater: Thanks for your reply. It is just as you say
@both: Do you know if the latest HTC firmware fixes this issue? I know, I know, but I can't find the time these days to upgrade and find for myself
I`m on the latest MCR and it still does it. Its really P*****G me off now. I hate to take a call because of it.. Surely more people than us 3 are seeing this?
Yup, same thing for me although I've never noticed a difference between receiving and making calls (will watch out for that now). Quietest setting is still ridiculously loud. I'm on MCR 2.6 but have noticed on other roms as well.
I've noticed this too, but seems as though when I press volume up, it starts working again and allows me to lower the volume.
I can confirm that your workaround is just fine. Thanks.
So if i press volume up then down it will go quieter?
I will try this next call i get...
I am getting this same problem ... thanks for the tip I will try it.
I just noticed this. but after having my hero for like over a month. Could have appeared when i installed like 3 games yesterday but cant see why games would cause that to happen. but yea the workaround of increasing then decreasing the volume works. and it only happens when i receive the call. strange...
is there a fix for the low volume in call problem? i searched everywhere and i cant find any solutions... im with 2.1 blue sparks rom.
There is a custom kernel with an in call volume fix but the custom kernels aren't totally stable yet and have other drawbacks. The call volume seems like its a network related issue because for many users, like me, the call volume is fine.

If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!

that sucks, i tried resetting my network connection, nothing improved....
For those who have a custom rom like CM6 or CM7 : Have you tried to raise the sound with something like DSPManager ?
It can potentially be a solution for this problem ! I will test it in next call I have and do my feedback here !

Yes please report back. As i did test the earphone in test service
It works perfectly, crystal clear and loud.
It seems to be better with DSPManager activated. But it can be because the communication was good ... So I'm not sure at 100% that it's better but it seems.
has any dev came up with a solution yet?
I googled and searched the forum, most saying the in-call volume is too loud and so forth.
But I am getting the other end, where the other side can't hear me much unless my lips are literally next to the microphone or shout it out loud.
Done many tests and confirmed that my previous TYTUNG ROM was better, but then it freezes my phone with incoming calls sometimes... I have had a few updates through Dorimanx and quite happy except this low mic volume issue.
Does anyone have a clue on this? I would like to seek for solutions better flashing out another ROM like crazy. Thanks!

Do you have speaker phone enabled ? if not , thats your problem . when using the earpiece for a call the microphone levels are set as if you are holding the device right up to your ear and the microphone is right next to your mouth . as a normal phone would work . try enabling speaker phone and see if that does anything .
If not you could try this http://code.google.com/p/custom-android-sciphone-n19/wiki/MicGain are phones (well mine at least) doesnt have this file but at the same time if you add this file and reboot it may use it . just be sure to backup everything using recovery backup . just in case .
You can use HD2 Mic Control on the Maket.
Or flash Tytung kernel

Thanks buddy! It didn't really work but then it's good to know there are still so much support for HD2.
I am having problems with the in-call volume of my Nexus 4. Say I have it at 4/5, it will remain at this for a while, however, it does not maintain this setting. When I answer a subsequent phone call, the in-call volume will have reset itself to 2/5. It is quite annoying answering a phone call, not hearing the person on the other side and then having to increase the volume again. I actually returned my 1st Nexus 4, however, this problem is now occurring on my replacement phone as well. Would anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing this problem before I contact Google again. I have not made any adjustments to the OS of the Nexus 4. Thanks for any help!

I have Volume + installed from Google Play and it increases the volume considerably from the speaker, through bluetooth and headsets. If you try it go to settings/sounds/sound effects and choose Volume + instead of Music Fx. I`am using the paid version and it works great for me.

Thanks for your reply. Actual loudness of the phone is not a problem, when the highest in-call volume setting is maintained. However, the phone will randomly reset itself to the 2/5 setting. Over the weekend, I give the Volume + app a try. It has an individual setting for in-call volume, however, the problem still occurs. Do you think the problem is software related and therefore potentially could be rectified by the next major update to be released? I'am worried that I may have to try and return another phone to Google!
help!

Did you ever find the solution? I just got a Nexus 4 and have the same issue. I've been searching like crazy for a solution!

I forgot to say that even though is the same issue, in my case is the other way around. The volume resets to 5/5 even though I change it to 2/5 during a call. The 2/5 setting seems to last only some time but surely after a few hours, when I make or receive another phone call the volume has gone up to 5/5.
I have the same issue. The volume is always to the max. During the call I lower it, because it is too loud at the maximum, but during the next call, the volume is at maximum again. I tried several applications that adjust in-call volume, but it had no effect.

I believe we might have an application installed that's resetting the volume, would you mind sharing the applications you have via private message and then we can check which we have in common and go from there? If you agree I'll send you mine as well.
After several factory resets I finally found out what was the problem. Automatic Call Recorder has an option named Maximize recording volume (or something like that). When I turned off this, the problem was solved.
Hi all,
Does anyone else have this problem, using ZTE's Android 5.02, in which the caller's voice level is too low? I can barely hear a person's voice when I answer/call them. But they clearly hear me.
I've tried a few apps that boost volume, but none of them work.
All other things, ringtone, apps, media, music etc. - the volume is fine.
ZTE had an auto update yesterday, system update, completely fixed the volume for me! Everything is normal and working well now
I have problem with wifi, can't connect! (IP adress = 0.0.0.0) plzzz help!!!

What update are you talking about? I'm also having the "low volume" issue.
thanks
edit: tried the b10 update again and still low volume. So pls help
I have the same problem. The in-call volume gets turned way down for some reason when you answer/make a call.
i don't know why, possibly a bug?
when you next make/receive a call...once connected, take the phone away from your ear & look at it.
press the volume up button and you'll see its at about 25%.
pain in the arse

Hi, turn off the "Dual microphone" setting in the dialer app. This solves the problem.
