In call volume too LOUD

Talking on the phone practically makes my ears bleed it is so LOUD. Does anyone know of an app that allows you to lower the volume beyond what the normal settings allow for? Is there any other way to accomplish this task? Voodoo sound doesnt seem to make any difference on call volume, even when I am using headphones on the call. Thanks!

Open the voodoo app and check recording presets

I think that controls the mic gain, not the earpiece.

I have always been able to adjust the call volume via the side volume controls, when in a call
Ie: when on a call, turn the volume down the same way you would the ringer using the side buttons, and instead of seeing the media volume change, you should see incall volume adjusted

Yeah I do that but even at the lowest setting it is obnoxiously loud.

maybe your ears are just overly sensitive or something is messed up on your phone, rom, kernel, something... wipe and fresh flash see if your problem persists. I can turn the volume down below my level of hearing, but I also have slightly damaged ears from too much gun-play without hearing protection.
I would love to know why its loud.....cause i want to make mine louder....i think im going deaf

Switching to CM7 seems to have fixed the issue somewhat though the volume controls in call are a bit eratic now. I am pretty sure it was rom related as it happened to me on 2 of marcusant's roms. Maybe he likes loud calls lol.

Try the volume+ app in the market. He has free and paid versions but you can get the paid verszion for free on his website.

I believe the fix that worked for me was to disable hifi record in the voodoo control settings. Hope this helps!
Record settings in voodoo seem only to control mic gain (or mic loss, when I enable them no one can hear me! ). My earpiece is also obnoxiously loud in calls- on every GB rom I have tried. I would definitely like a fix for this.
No amount of wiping and flashing between multiple GB roms has ever fixed this.

disabling the Voodoo hi-fi play and record settings definitely fixed the loud call audio problem for me in gingerbread on the epic, sorry it's not working for you.

Audio loud and distorted from speaker?

Hey peeps I just want to see what others think about the audio quality when playing music from the phone speaker..even some of the ringtones sound bassy a bit loud and distorted. Anyone else notice this? I hope my speaker isnt blown..

I've noticed the same thing on mine.
Its extremely loud. Ive noticed things sound normal if u put the volume like 2 notches under the max.. but still its rather strange. You think this is normal or defect?

It seems to be a general issue with the device. I exchanged my device because of this issue but I notice the same sound distortion when volume is maxed.

So same audio loudness and distortion with replacement phone? I guess its not that bad.. here at my job I put it on max volume and you can hear the music from quite a distance. The distortion goes away tho if u dont raise volume to max. Seems to be only with speaker because it sounds good with headphones.

PowerAmp volume problem

Ever since android 4.2 came out poweramp hasn't worked properly on my nexus, no matter what ROM I'm using. I've always had the direct volume control option selected in the program and haven't had issues before. But on 4.2 with that enabled whenever I first open up poweramp the music plays loud but when I change the song the volume gets real low and stays that way. So I have to turn the volume real high. Problem with that is the next time I open the app and listen to music the first song is deafeningly loud and the volume goes down once I skip the track. This problem doesn't happen if I disable direct volume control in the app but when you do that the audio quality becomes terrible. Anyone have a solution?

Galaxy note 2 volume level

Hi guys,
How does everyone find the volume level with headphones? I find the galaxy s3 is far too loud on volume 1 to listen to. On my s2 I use fine volume control, but I hear it doesn't work on the s3 on jelly bean. Does it work on the note 2? Does siyah kernel work? As can reduce the volume in ex tweaks. Trying to work out which phone to buy, but they all seem too loud! Have tried different headphones too, and same issue. Thanks a lot guys

well of course kernel is neat, however I wouldn suggest volume boost. That comes with speaker buzzes. Anyway, stock is pretty loud tho.
if you're trying to reduce the volume, user poweramp for your music, then go into the equaliser, and drop the master volume amplifier (the adjustable bar on the far left) to the lowest setting to reduce the volume further.
alternatively, download any equaliser app and drop the master volume or drop all the eq frequencies to reduce the overall volume.
Thanks, power amp is indeed quieter. Just wish that it would work with dsp manager...

Why would you use dsp manager when poweramp has the best equalizer out there
Dafuq u r buying a phone just for a smaller volume level?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
No but it's a big factor for me. Power amp is ok, but to my ear dsp manager is noticeably better. I've bought some new headphones, not inner ear and this has helped with my issue greatly. Seems inner ears may just be too sensitive for android. Neutron with my new black box headphones seems perfect. Still looking at the note 2. Thanks for the help everyone, that Perseus kernel is really handy, as I still need to be Able to reduce the volume level in extweaks or something similar to minimum.

Volume adjuster

Hello,
I've got a question about the volume adjuster.
I know it sounds weird but is there a mod to lower the volume of the galaxy note 2?
When i choose to lower the sound while playing a game it's still to loud for me.
My Phone is rooted.
Running omega v15 with perseus
Thanks in advance
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
try to follow this thread, read it all the way to the end carefully. I was able to greatly improve the volume with this mod, you will be able to lower it as well. You will have to play with the settings, but it works. ( it took me 3 days to find optimal settings, so the sound was not distorted, not too loud etc...) hope it helps you.
