Earpiece speaker - Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Questions & Answers

Can anyone help me with the low sound on earpiece speaker on stock rom and with stock recovery.
Please help

I am from India. I was facing the same problem. The ear piece volume was generally low for all the calls and it was even inaudible for calls from certain numbers. It was kind of freaky experience for me. I took it to the service centre. They did 2 things. They flashed the software afresh and removed the grill covering the ear piece. Now the incall sound quality is absolutely fantastic. I suggest you to try the same

I am also facing the same problem on jio, i cant hear the voice without earphones but the quality of whatsapp calls are fine. I think the earpiece itself is fine and their is a software problem. is there any workaround ?

Hey, so I had this earpiece issue. I couldn't hear anything during call, nothing. I thought it was a Pie issue but after resetting and doing SMMI test I confirmed a hardware problem.
Went to authorised service center and they took it no questions and replaced a new LCD and battery in 4 hrs. They say earpiece is connected with screen and battery also with screen, so yeah, I got lucky.
Get it checked, I think moisture entering the earpiece can ruin it.

Can u guv ur numbr?

From my experience i suggest Stock Rom Mod in this rom the earpiece volume is increased and it absolutely fantastic . I tried all pie & Q roms only the Stock Rom Mod has volume increased.
1. Flash Stock Rom Mod
2. Flash Magisk Manager
3. Use Es Explorer and grant root permission and RW permission
4. Device/vendor/etc/mixer path.xml
5. Change RX1 DIGITAL VOLUME FROM 90 to 95
6. Save and Reboot.
This rom only solved the irritating low in-call volume problem.

You can increase the earpiece gain using any custom kernel and kernel manager in any custom rom.

Earpiece volume too low

My phones ear piece volume is very low, i have no problem with speaker or headphones volume .
the volume is so low that if im not in a perfectly quite room i wont be able to hear anything.
I had earlier seen some post some where , it said i need to modify some value in build prop, the deafult 5 to 8 ,
i checked mine and it was 3, i tried modifying it and phone got systemui error and has to flash back the stock rom.
Any help would be appreciated
any one faced this problem n managed to fix it ?
it is dependent on :
-YOUR NETWORK quality
-SIGNAL intensity
-Your caller's network quality
-your callers hardware device (phone)
So it is really hard to tell.I have found it will get a little better with time (maybe just like speakers that get better after a few uses)
Unfortunately the earpiece in LG G2 is not of the highest quality at all (i have a ~5 year old Nokia N8 that sounds miles better and louder)
What you can try is to readjust your phone and push your phone as close as you can to the ear so it will better capture the sounds.

Speaker/Headphones issue :)

Well the issues is with the Call speaker and The Headphones.
1. The in-call speaker's clarity is totally distorted when the volume surpasses the 50% mark.
On the lowest volume level it works fine.
2. The headphones work perfectly fine, but when the volume is increased beyond that warning limit, the songs get distorted like hell,as if FM is playing on the wrong tune setting :/
3. The common problem in both of them is that when the phone heats up (i9500), both the in-call speaker and Headphones fail to work. I cannot even watch videos or talk via headphones because of this.
4. The headphone mic does not emit good sound and the person on the call feels as if I am talking while being miles away from my headphone/mic.
5. I am using Sheard's LL 2.6 Dark with the kernel that comes with the ROM. None other mod.
6.Reflashed Stock, flashed many other Roms, flashed Voltaqe Kernel. No change in this issue.
Can anybody help me out with this?

No idea bro. You could try to replace the mic and headphone jack, but i'm not sure if it will work. Maybe it's just your motherboard that is dying.

Buzzing Sound

Hi!
A couple of months after I bought zuk z1, the sound just disappeared for notifications and when music was played through speaker, the speaker would make buzzing noise and it would fluctuate. Also, the sound level would fluctuate without even me touching the volume buttons. Sometimes, when I decreased the volume and increased it, it wouldn't increase and if I decrease it to zero, then even when I would increase it to full I wouldn't hear anything.
Flashing nuclearom fixed everything except the buzzing sound. To get rid of buzzing, I installed Viper4Android but instead of fixing it has brought back all the problems that existed earlier.
Also, the problem is only with phone speaker. The headphones and everything work fine.
Please help me!! I don't think it is a hardware issue because all these problems turn up on their own and they get fixed on their own for a time being.

Seems like you have nearly the same problem with the speaker:http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/general/low-speaker-sound-t3500648
I think the sound problem could be an hardware issue

I said it's not a hardware fault because sometimes when I would clear data and cache of Audio FX and force stop it, everything would come back to normal. However it worked most of the times but not always.

And without audio fx? Did you wipe system, data every time you install other roms?
When I would force stop audio fx the sound would become normal. Yes. I follow the normal procedure before flashing roms which includes wiping everything.
I forgot to mention one more thing. The ringtones would work when there was no notification sound. And after I unlocked the bootloader, the notification sound problem was gone but the buzzing remained. I know it sounds freaky.
And if it's hardware or speaker problem the buzzing shouldn't be there at low volume. But in my phone, it's always there. In my experience, I feel like it's a software bug. When i listen to some song and it buzzes, I can notice that the volume increases and decreases on it's own as if the system is trying to create a balance.

AOSP mic volume

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?

Extremely low earpiece volume

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.
