Is it just me or is the audible call volume too low? Even when I raise the volume on max and press the phone against my face I feel as if the overall volume is shockingly low. Maybe my hearing is damanged from listening too music too much with earphones on high volume? haha.

You may have clear phase enabled in your sounds option, this lowers the volume of your surroundings along with whomever you're speaking too on the other side. This lowers or highers the volume automatically, with algorithms but these algorithms may be a bit messed causing you to hear someone as if they are distant or far rather than close and clear. Try unticking it and try again.

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!
Initially, my nexus's speaker volume and incall volume are both really low even at maximum settings. After browsing around xda, I found people recommending volume+ so I paid $1.62 and got the full version. Speaker volume is loud enough now, although I feel the quality is not very good. I don't use speaker to listen to music so it's not a big problem.
There's also in-call volume setting in volume+. I set it to 90 and strange things happens: When I use skype, in call volume is extremely high, I can almost treat it like I'm on speaker. It feels like the settings are working. However, for regular calls, the in-call volume stays the same, still too low for most cases. I can only hear people in quiet rooms. I barely hear anything on a street. Setting in-call volume to other numbers doesn't change the result. So my result is volume+ is only semi-functional. Any other fix for in call volume?
In call volume is the only api not exposed so it cant be increased. Btw everyone goes for volume+ but equalizer by smart apps is free and i much prefer over volume+.
Anybody has any other ideas? Low call volume is really annoying
Still nobody？ Everyone‘s incall volume is loud enough?

Just did a test:
Removed in call settings
Speaker to +10
Called *611 (bell customer service) let the automated machine start talking..
Click volume down on rocker a few times then clicked volume up a few times and the sound increasef to am acceptable level.
However when i clicked up one to many times it almost mutes volume but the onscreen indicater is at max (found this odd).
Saw this on the thread you gave. I have the same situation. There exists a maximum in-call volume at around 3/4 of the bar. It's enough for regular use but still a bit low
low volume on calls
Still no one comes with a solution, the volume on the gnex is very low on call especially outside...thanks

I have the same problem using ZTE Blade... volume+ didn't work.
I think there solutions, many roms developer put on their changelog things like "in-call volume boosted" then I ask how you did that and no one anwers...
Anyway I did some research and I found on the rom i'm using a file named libaudio.so that says:
Setting in-call volume to %d (available range is 0 to 7)
Guess that for me increasing steps with volume+ only has efect until 7...
Maybe i'm being stupid... can someone with more experience analyse this?
Adjust volume while listening to music. at first it is rather quiet in the middle it gets a little louder and only at the end it becomes noticeably louder. can you change something there, so that it is continuously louder? I do not mean the volume steps, I mean the volume itself.

I unchecked the "disable absolute volume" and the volume will go low on Sony wf1000mx4 after playing for awhile. I restarted the phone and the same thing happen after awhile. Anyone has the same issues?
There's two volume controls
One on the earphones and one from the phone itself
I generally set the right hold as volume up, set volume max on the earphones, then adjust the phone media volume, had the same issue till I figured it out

Thanks, found the issue. It is YouTube music equalizer which is causing the low volume. Turn it off and everything works perfect.
Since we're on the topic I have had a difficult time boosting the absolute volume level on the P6P. Is it not simply a matter of adjusting audio policy? Any ideas? I want my max volume to be 50-100% higher in all areas, ear, speaker, bluetooth
