Hello,
been searching/investigating this problem for a while and still can't find a solution.
basically, when using the stock wired headset, I find the volume during a phone call far too loud and not loud enough when listening to mp3s / radio.
when in a call, using the volume button does not seem to make any difference.
any suggestions?
thanks in advance
Go to your music tab in Manila/TouchFlo. From the menu you can choose Audio Booster. This could solve your problem with the not loud enough mp3.
For the phone "too loud" problem you can go to the settings tab -> Sound. There you have two volume controls; Ringtone and System. Lowering the system could solve your problem. But lowering using the touch volume button (as your stock headset doesn't has volume controls if i'm right), should lower the sound during a phone call.
You can push the volume buttons on the left side of the phone. Problem with this is it jumps in big increments.
But it'll also change the volume of your ringtones as well. So what you can do is:
Settings tab -> Sound -> Turn "Single Volume" off
Now when pressing the hardware key, you'll see it bring up System & Ring Tabs. So you can control your music volume without changing the ringtone volume

I forget to mention this, thanks charlie
I have the following issue myself:
Regardless how set up (single volume on/OFF, System volume set to 20% or 100%) my in-call volume of voice, once the call has started is extremely LOUD, regardless of who calls and how loud they speak.
This is even more so, if I'm using the wired headset.
Using the side volume buttons during a call do show the volume animation AND the volume bar goes down, but the actual in-call volume doesn't change a bit.
This is maddeningly loud.
Is this how it should be working?
I have stock 6.5 ROM (WWE), no hacks.
Same problem here...
... any solutions?
I have single volume turned off, and regardless if I try to turn down "ring" or "system" volume, the headset stays extremely (uncomfortably) loud...
Cheers,
Jan
Having the same problem. Is there a fix?
Not sure if Volumex fixes it on the TP2, but on my TP1 and HD2 no such problem.
i have the same problem. Volumex doens't fix it.
It's incredible that there is no solution for this stupid problem.

My stock headset has a volume control, I gather yours doesn't have this feature?
no i haven't this features..
however i found the possible solution (it work for me), searching in other topic of this forum.
You mast edit the file audiopara3_TMO.csv (windows folder, it is hidden so you must use an explorer which allows to see the system hidden file like resco explorer).
basically you have in this file these lines:
F0,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL0,0,4000,4000,0,4000,C8,0,2000,0,780,FF9A,2580..
F1,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL1,1,4000,4000,0,4000,1F4,0,2000,0,780,FF9A...
F2,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL2,2,4000,4000,0,4000,5DC,0,2000,0,780,FF9A...
F3,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL3,3,4000,4000,0,4000,1388,FFFF,2000,0....
F4,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL4,4,4000,4000,0,4000,2EE0,FFFF,2000,...
F5,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL5,5,4000,4000,0,4000,61A8,FFFF,2000...
the most important value is the sixth (in hexadecimal) which is the volume value. if you use the volume level on the left side of the phone the volume of the the headset changes according the value reported in this file. I edit these values according to my "ears" ranging between c8(volume=200) and 61A8(volume=25000), and i clearly feel the change in the volume when i use the headset (you need an hex-decimal converter, there are several online)
actually (as suggested in other topic) you must point in the registry editor to this file, creating the value
HKLM\drivers\builtin\wavedev\AcousticFile and set this value to \windows\AudioPara3_TMO.csv (or rename the file as u want but with extention csv)
After editing soft reset.
In this file there are the other volume values for calls without headset, with the bt, and with the carkit. these values are in the lines
F6,PHONE_HANDSFREE_VOL0...
F12,PHONE_EARCUPLE_VOL0...
F18,PHONE_BTHEADSET...
F19,PHONE_CARKIT.
i suppose that to change the volume values on must changes the sixth parameter as in the previous case.
This works for me, and solve the problem.

I know this is probably stating the obvious, but if you press the volume button and you see the volume bar you can always adjust it to your liking by swiping your finger up and down on the volume bar. This way you can get the inbetween volumes between too loud and too low.
I have a custom bootanimation that includes audio. Sometimes when I boot it is VERY loud. Other times not so loud. I've been unable to identify exactly what controls the volume for the bootanimation.

I believe system volume. Try quick settings app to adjust it.

Thats what i was thinking that what ever vol you were on when you reboot or shut down is how loud the boot sound will be, but not positive. I always remove the boot sounda.
It is the ringer volume. If you have no ringer volume, you will get no sound. If you have high ringer volume, you get loud sound. You can remove or change the boot sound by replacing or removing the VZW_Droid.mp3 in /system/customize/resource/, or if your rom has /data/customize, then /data/customize/resource/

Hmmm...
I am running stock, updated to Gingerbread. There is a separate bootup sound file in my syste/customize/resource folder named VZW_Droid.mp3. I swapped mine out with a renamed short mp3.

hehe oops. I had just commented on a thread about this but with bootanimations. Will edit
So, I've made sure that ringer and media volume are at their highest, and I've noticed that it is kind of difficult to hear Navigation. Has anyone else dealt with this? I haven't had any of the "speakerphone or call quality issues", just noticed this the other day while traveling. If others have experienced it, do you have a work-around?
I think that generally all of the sounds on the Gnex are very low. I personally haven't used navigation ( i don't drive ) but all their ring tones notifications etc are very low.
One solution for the notifications i used was to 1) use your own audio files or 2) manually edit the audio file with a music editing program to have a higher master volume level.
That is where you may be able to get some success if you can locate where the audio files are for the navigation app you could try to manually increase their volume and replace them.

The audio files are downloaded on the fly, so trying to edit them wouldn't work too well. Look for volume+ in the market.

I guess that I will give it a shot. Ever since the update (and even before it) I really had no issue with media volume, speakerphone or call volume. Thanks for the advice.
