I had the same complain, can´t hear the other person properly, too low.
Here u have the solution, gotta be root, make a backup first (it´s just overwriting a system file, so save it first somewhere else):

It will increase the volume up to 8%-9% according to ZeroInifinity, although by my experience i would say it´s a bit more than that, i would like it even lower now :laugh:
Before i needed to have always the maximum volume, now i just set the bar at 40-50% when speaking on the phone.
Welp. Guess I have to do this..shame Sony made it so low in the first place
Awesome tweak and works really well...Thanks a lot:laugh:

could anyone be kind enough to tell me how to make my in call vol. louder???
Thank You
Assuming you've already maxed out the phone volume slider and it still isn't loud enough, you might try modifying your AudioPara.csv file. For a discussion of how to do this and some already modified files, go to http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6800-xv6800/90858-moderate-fix-low-volume-issues.html
Where in the rom is the settings for earpiece volume? I find in a call too quiet and want to increase it a bit. And before anyone asks yes it is turned up full when in a call lol
Want this too

are you on a T-mobile ROM?
If so, reflash with the HTC vanilla one. It fixes this.

Can you explain in a bit more detail please.
Im using richards rom........if i flash a vanilla rom does that downgrade me to 1.6
No it puts you at stock 2.1 Htc Sense.
So whats the change in vanilla from richards so we can all add this hack to our own roms to increase volume??
i think the hack/mod is the no echo mod. i believe it turns down the volume so the person on the other end of the call can't hear the speaker? i've never had an echo problem so i don't use that version and i have relatively no problems hearing the other person (and my hearing is horrible). so maybe try flashing a non no-echo mod update. or you might have to reflash .9b full first then the uvoc (if you use that), depends on if the uvoc non-echo has the audio mod files in it or not
I think it has more todo with the way people damage their ears.
Personally my volume bar is on the first notch from lowest, one press lower its zero and I can hear everything fine.
My housemate playing with my phone in turn puts the volume to max and is still complaining its too low ...
It is hard to understand what someone else hears, but I can not understand that the distorted sound comming out of the earplugs at max volume can be too soft for someone to hear properly. Maybe if you don't clean your ears at all I dont know :s
The sound from the earplugs at max volume during a conversation is still audibe to me. So another question arises, do you want others to hear your converstation? Or do I just have sensitive ears?
not sure of reason

I noticed it with the headphone out level. I plug into a stereo in the kitchen sometimes and the level was way below line-level. There's something in the T-Mobile ROM that's done this, whether deliberate or not I don't know. The vanilla official HTC one doesn't do this, and has normal output level.
I've seen multiple posts here and across the web regarding increasing the volume of the speakers, earpiece and headset volume. The problem is that those who have sensitive hearing often want the opposite and we are in the minority.
Being that the changes require using HEX instead of decimals, I made all the changes to the file and attached it here.
The file attached has all the volume headset levels at 50% their original. I was on a 1hr 35min call with my brother. After that call, I had no headaches, earaches, nothing. My bro was watching Yankees and clapping, yelling in his mic and I had no problems.
Enjoy!!
why wouldn't someone just use the volume buttons to lower their volume? I know that's what I do.
I mean, the plus side to being able to have the volume normal or above is when you are in a crowded place yourself you can hear what the other person is saying right? I just cant see the plus side to having the volume permanently at 50%. Mind you I can see it being a pain in the butt to constantly have to adjust the volume down. Actually now that I think about it when you are in a call and you adjust the volume doesn't it automatically remember the setting you had it at so when the next call you have comes in its the same? It probably resets its self if you restart the phone.
Regardless... for anyone who does want this you have likely just saved them a TON of tinkering so good work!

I understand where you are coming from but I did not lower the volume by 50% for ALL audio output on the device. The way the CSV file is setup, you can increase/decrease volume using hexadecimal values to different audio output ports (earpiece, headset/audiojack, hands-free bluetooth, and speaker). I did not modify the earpiece, hands-free, or speaker. I just decreased the connected headset audio. It seriously was giving me headaches because it was too loud and the volume dial at the lowest was still unbearably loud. I personally don't want to go deaf so I made the revision.
I may do some more tweaking and increase the earpiece and speaker volume as the earpiece is way too low and the speaker could be a little bit louder.
Life is about balance. Sure ice cream tastes great but if you had more than you could eat all the time, you would probably start to hate it.
this is exactly what i was searching for! i use in-ears and they are way to loud when doing a call. thank you!
Hi, don't know if you guys find this as annoying as I do, but the thing makes this horrific beeping sound when it decides the battery is low to "remind" you to charge it. This pisses me off because I'm aware the battery is low and if it isn't plugged in it's because it can't be. Anyone know how to make it completely stop telling me about the battery, or at least stop that ****ing loud beeping noise?
Also, how come the battery alert beep gets so insanely loud? I can't make the alerts for anything else get anywhere near that loud, even the alarm at max volume is nowhere near so loud.
I searched Google for you and found a few things that can be done. First turn system sound off and it should remove the volume from the battery low notification. But it would also shut off the rest of the system sounds like sound when buttons are pressed.
I also found people editing the service.jar file in /system/framework and removing the code for the pop up. Not sure what phone it was so files posted wont likely work with our phone.
Just a few ideas for you to look into that may help u

Another crude option is removing the .ogg file for battery low. You need root for that
/system/media/audio/ui/TW_Low_Battery.ogg
Looks like the ogg file is actually cranked up to be loud. You can also edit it to bring the levels down if the volume is the only thing that bothers you
My phone seems to have a low volume for all sounds. Any roms or other hacks can boost my in call volume? I have full S-off and can load anything. I have been roaming around and can't find anything that specifically talks about boosting the in call volume. Mine is really low and the speakerphone and even playing music with the speakers is also pretty weak.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
You can try to edit the values in the mixer path xml file (use a file explorer with root access). I haven't tried it with the M8, but I think it should work. You can do an XDA search, for general instructions on various device (don't know if you will find a guide or thread about doing this specifically on the M8).
Make a backup of the original xml file, and there certainly wouldn't be any harm in trying (somewhat obvious, take care not to harm your hearing or the device by using excessive volume levels).
Also, if you it's just the speakers/earpiece that have low volume (for instance the volume levels on headphones is okay), you may look into cleaning the speakers of any debris. Some folks have had a significant increase in speaker volume from doing this. There is a thread on it, somewhere in this M8 forum.
I suffered from low overall volume too and was about to do what redpoint73 said, but I did sone some snooping around the forum to find the said thread and found this https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/sound-to-normal-t3559052
I did what post #6 said and the difference was like day and night. I highly recommend it as you might have dirty speaker grills like me.
