hi guys,
just got my new x1. I am familiar with WM and HTC as I have spent almost whole summer playing with Kaiser so x1 is nothing new to me. however, the first thing which i have noticed is that the volume during call in x1 is just too loud although it's set to minimum. Kaiser wasn't that loud. so, the thing is that I am bit of suffering when i need to talk to someone as the volume is too loud and I can hear "beeeeep" in my ear. crap, isn't it?
do you guys by any chance know if there is any way to change the speaker volume while on the call so that it's not as loud as it is now? is there any plugin allowing user to better control the volume of the interlocutor?
any thoughts will be highly appreciated!
Thanks
no ideas? does that mean I am the only one suffering from this issue? :/
during calling just presse up-down hardware button on upside of the x1
in normal operation they set system/ring volume, during phone operation they set the speaker call volume
I have the same problem. I have set the volume to the lowest possible setting yet it is still loud. I would expect the lowest possible setting to be mute.
Is there anyway of getting it so that the volume bar works in a more sensible way?
*bump*
Anything on this? I can't keep my phone on my ear when i'm talking with someone. Have to keep a few cm's distance or my head splits. Call volume is at minimum..
hey there. first post on the forum but i've been reading for a few weeks already and finally bought an Xperia.
Anyway, I have the same problem as you guys: even on the lowest setting, volume is still too loud during a call. I've looked accross the net and didn't find any relevant info on how to solve this does anyone have any idea on how that would be solvable ? registry trick or something ?
thanks in advance
hmmm, my situation is totally different. My X1i volume during call is set to maximum and it's too quiet for me. When I'm outside, on the street I can't hear person hanging on the other side. At home, when it's quiet it's all ok.
My ears are quite good , I've tested them 2 months ago.
If you guys have already tried what webguitar mentions above, then i think you may have a problem with your specific handset
There are a couple of threads in the forum about ways to increase volume ...but I've certainly not seen anything suggesting its too loud
Have been using mine since November and never found the volume to be too high

Same here...but using SRS Wow HD i managed to get louder sound.
well, of course i've used the side rocker -_-
it's just that i feel that instead of adjusting between
quiet - - - - - - - - - - loud
it seems more like it adjusts between
normal - - - - - - - - - loud
again, i'm talking about the volume during a call, not for the speaker or the system sound.
it isn't that loud if you are in a noisy environement, but when i'm sitting in the silence of
my room... it just feels loud. i never had such a problem with any previous phones o_o
and various changes in HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\ doesn't seem to change anything
so i was thinking, maybe there is a "minimum volume value" setting somewhere...
Nocturnal310, D-fens, please do not throw the topic off course
Definitely there IS a issue with the volume being FAR too loud on the lowest setting (this is 20% for me)
I'm embarrassed to talk on the phone in the office, as everyone within five meters hear both sides of my conversation and asks if I'm deaf. I'm not! It's the bloody phone!
Is there a way to set the speaker volume to less than 20% (5% for example)?
I am on the latest Trigger (Rom) and have had the same problem since build 12.
Basically my in-call volume (only while in call) has these massive jumps when adjusting the volume.
It sounds the like the following (highest to lowest) while using headset.
- Too low, too low, too low, Loud, Too loud, Ear Shattering +
The red flag, since build 12 was a crackling sound is heard where the headphones are inserted.
I have tried different Roms and this is where I am most happy. I posted in the the forum section with no real luck.
I tried the paid version of Voodoo sound and it adjusted the music volume but it seemed no changes were made to in call sound.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
The only thing I can think of is if you are holding the volume button then it will fly to min or max. Try single pressing the volume up or down. Just a thought.
Yeah, I noticed the same problem today while on the phone. Didn't really think too much of it, but its def a rom problem if you are also having the issue on redux.

Why is it that when I flash an Android Rom on my HTC HD2 the in call Volume is way too loud.
I turn down to it's minimum volume but it's just ear bleeding loud.
Can this be fixed?
I had this issue too, there's no fix that I know of, just a first aid thing - when your volume is louf on minimum, put it to maximum (at that time) and then get it back on minimum, it should help. Sometimes it doesn't though.
But for me, after a while the problem disappeared. Maybe a ROM update?

be fortunate yours is loud because mine is way too low in most cases i have to use my speaker phone to talk to ppl
I have tried turning up volume & down again & that didn't fix the problem & so i changed Roms's & it does it on all of them.
Surely there must be a fix for this problem?
I got my OP2 4 days back and it has been quite a disappointment switching from the OnePlus One in terms of sound quality and volume levels.
The volume level is horrendous, both for ringtones/notifications and media. I'm sure this will eventually be solved by a kernel or a OS update but as of now, even if I am with a group of friends and the phone is in my pocket, I can't hear the ringtone. Moreover, there is no option to unlink ringtone and notifications.
Before anyone suggests, my volume levels are highest.
J.
It is true. Volume is too low. For me it is not a problem because I'm almost always on silent mode. Anyway there is one volume thing which is also broken...
When playing games it does not make a visible difference if the volume is on the highest lvl or almost muted. There is a difference, but IMO speaker is to loud when You set it's level as lowest as possible -_- (but not entirely, not to mute)
You think the same ?
It is a problem for me as I go to crowded places often.
I don't play games but I listen to a lot of music and apart from the volume levels, the sound quality is also very bad. Spotify sounds like a radio channel being broadcast from a garage.
I don't have the issue of speaker being too loud like you have. But OnePlus needs to up their game. Maybe they should concentrate on these issues instead of creating hype around an invite system.

Can someone post the mixer_paths.xml? I'm waiting for my OPT to ship, but it'd be interesting to see if we could modify the mixer_paths.xml to work like the OPO speaker mods.
I did modify it and there is a little difference. Still, not as good as the OPO.

could you highlight which lines has been changed?
That's funny because I found the volume was way too loud on my OnePlus Two, even at the lowest setting. I disabled Audio Effects and I can now set the volume to a more appropriate level.
How did you disable Audio Effects? @thegregulator

Go into the app Audio Tuner and toggle it off. You can also toggle it off directly when playing media on the speaker, just press either of the volume buttons and look for the "AudioEffects" toggle.
No kidding. I got mine yesterday and it's so quiet that I'm concerned whether the alarms will wake me up; I'm a very heavy sleeper. I was just trying to listen to something on TuneIn which was quite audible on my OPO and I was straining to hear.
Go into audio tuner> turn the preset to "flat".. turn maxxbass off... turn maxxspace off...
Just done what omegablaze said but increased max dialog to max and my volume went up through headphones but not really seeing a difference though the phone. I was wondering if the are any custom flashes out there like extreme beats + viper4android that I have just seen on YouTube. U see I'm new to flashing and root etc so any help would be great because it's very hard to hear any calls that come though

Tweaking this file didnt help on oxygen 2.1 , hopefully someone soon has a better option.
Sorry to hear you're having that issue, the speaker volume on my OPT is quite loud, no volume issues here

well as per what i have researched there are many people who are facing this issue. Furthermore i have 2 other phones lumia 1520 and a motox and they both are very loud compared to one plus two. i have compared the same notification tones on all three phones and the lumia 1520 is the loudest whereas one plus is the quitest. In a noisy environment you dont come to know that it is ringing especially while riding a thumping motorbike.
My advice based on what I'm currently doing is to buy some nice headphones. The ones I'm using are Sony MDR-10RC they really compliment each other in looks and if you play with the audio settings it equals very nice sound. But if it's a case of you are not hearing you phone when its ringing just download zedge and search (loud ring tone). Yes I'm not a fan of oneplus 2 stock speakers but I hope this helps you out.

I also have problem with ringtones i work in factory on cnc and i can't heare phone ring tone and notification particularly
Guys, what about increase the volume of the headset or the headphones for listen to music louder? I saw the file, but I couldn't guess which value to change.
Same problem. Too low during Call, and loudspeaker during call. Notifications and ring tones too low too.
Headphones are fine though.

I guess something needs to be done, I also find volume very low
So i waited a year just to have MIUI 12 cause i thought they fix media sync volume or absolute volume.
im using an airpods but the volume is extremely low on Redmi note 7 even its in the max volume.
is there anyway that i can fix this?
Thanks in advance.
