I have clean flashed following ROMs on Xiomi Prime 3s, all had different in call earpiece volume.
MIUI 9.6.1.0 had a very low volume, just enough to hear in a quiet room. I was sure that something was wrong with my earpiece and was about to go to service centre.
Nitrogen Oreo same as above. I tried changing mixer-paths.xml values in both ROMs but did not work.
Bootleggers Oreo was loud which surprised me and which actually got me thinking on this line that may be this is a ROM related issue.
Loudest and satisfyingly so was Frankenrom Oreo on which I am today.
So how come when you clean flash various ROMS you get so much variation in in call volumes on the same device?
Any thoughts?

Dear folks,
Currently I have installed custom ROMs on my X Pure to experience Android 7.0 Nougat beforehand.
However, I cannot bear the terrible audio quality my phone offers now. Loudspeakers reduced it original volume down to about 60% compared to stock. And when plugged in a headphone, there was almost no bass to all songs :crying:
It there any way I can regain those things back please? Any help?

It's a current problem with all Nougat ROMs.
There's a fix somewhere in the dev forums. I'll edit in the link once I find it.

Switch back to stock??? You can also try v4a.
I've created a fix
Not sure what kind of volume problems people are having with Nougat ROMS. I'm on CrDroid and I don't have this volume problem. I do have Dolby Atmos installed if that makes any difference. My problem is when using speaker during phone calls, the other person cannot understand me cause it echos.
I have the Sony MDR-XB950N1 and they sound awesome on an iphone and ipad. But they sound like crap on my android device. I've tried both NucleaROM 7.2.1 and Bliss 6.4, and the sound is too low on both ROMs. Kernel Auditor's sound setting doesn't help at all. I would like to stay away from Viper4Android. I don't need to enhance the sound. I need to be able to adjust the gain or amplify the sound.
I don't get android at all as this has happened to some Bluetooth headphone I've used in the past. But for a USD$300.00 pair otf over-the-ear headphones, this should not happen! It sounds like a pair of headphones you buy at your local 7-eleven. Maybe I should go back to the official firmware?
Interestingly.. i installed CM13 6.01 (Dec 2016) and BT volume is 100x better than the ROMs I mentioned above. This is without the kernel auditor sound mod. I DON'T GET IT.. But at least my earlobes, eardrums, and headphone are vibrating at max volume again. I still would like a solution for Nougat ROM.

You can have a look at here https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/themes-apps/apps-to-gain-microphone-volume-t3450390 it's not only for microphone problems
Yea enabling volume level works great with my daily driver, NulceaROM 7.1.x. Thanks for the heads up! Its on par with CM13 and iDevices. I'm not convinced that this issue only happens to our device. I used to have a MI phone and BT volume with nougat was abysmal also.
Low earpiece volume could just be a bad earpiece speaker.
For nearly a year right after flashing a rom I noticed that my earpiece volume is extremely low to the point where I couldn't hear certain callers on the other side. Since I noticed the issue after flashing a rom, I assumed that it was a software issue.
After getting time, I decided to finally flash Lineage OS even though it kills many of our phone features. I wanted a phone that I could make calls from. After the flash, nothing. Sound was still low. @i95swervin added LS997 support to alpha rom. I downloaded it and still had the same problem. I continued to search and only one single person had a problem while others said that the volume is fine. I then decided to try replacing the earpiece. At under $10 shipped, it wouldn't hurt.
That was the issue as it is now loud again. It is an extremely easy problem to fix with a single small phillips screwdriver.
Heya, so I always wanted to use AOSP roms on my S7 edge since i bought this device but I always had this 1 little problem that makes me go back to Samsung stock. The call audio being too loud while wearing headphones. Is there anyway I could fix this? I tried changing some things in the mixer_paths.xml but that made no difference in the audio levels (I probably changed the wrong values). Note that I put the volume on the lowest and it is still too loud. I also noticed how some people are complaining that it's NOT too loud which is confusing.
Thanks a lot!
Hello guys and gals
I've been trying a lot of custom ROMs for our beloved 9T, and as is usual they all have their little bugs and quirks, some more some less.
However, one problem I noticed affects ALL custom roms for our device (well, the ones I tried at least) is that the microphone audio from any wired (3.5mm jack) headset has a VERY LOW VOLUME. Whenever I record a voice note in Whatsapp or any other app, or when I have a meeting with Google Meet, or even just recording my voice with a Voice Recorder app, it's extremely quiet, unless I talk right into the mic.
This was not the case on MIUI, so it's clearly a custom ROM issue. I wanted to know a couple of things:
1) I'm not crazy right, external mics DO have low volume on custom ROMs, yes? Or is this some issue specific to my device?
2) Any workarounds/solutions you can suggest?
By scouring the forums and searching on google, I think the problem is some misconfiguration in the /vendor/etc/mixer_paths_idp.xml file, however I have no clue which values to modify, since from what I read the values you should change are different depending on the device.
Any help or suggestion on this matter would be appreciated.
