When I talked to someone on phone. No matter what headphones I use. They say I sound very quiet through them and can't hear me. Any fixes?
I am in the same boat with the DU 4.3 rom. Anyone find an answer to this, could another kernel help?
Same here.
Bump, I have the same problem, mic is low for some reason and people can't hear me very well. Turning on speaker phone seems to fix it for me though. odd
low mic volume
hello there. I experience the same issue on cm11 ( same with cm10 , slimkat ) I tried the CM utility for maxim in call volume but that didn't boost the microphone.
All people complain they can barely hear what I say.
What is there to be done? I:crying:
must mention Boeffla Sound Control app again did not help and had no problem with the microphone on the 4.3 stock ROM on my S3.
Currently using, fresh install:
CM: 11-20140706-nightly-i9300
Android: 4.4.4
Baseband:i9300XXUGNA8
Kernel: 3.0.64-cm-g5e96596

I don't know if this is a general fix but I managed to solve it for the above mentioned rom.
I installed the CM10.1-10.2 vol_tweak.apk ( but this only didn't fix it on its own) and after rebooting modified HEADSET, SPEAKER, BLUETOOTH, USB/DOCK in DSP MANAGER
HEADSET:
Compression is enabled, Efect strength moderate, bass boost enabled Equalizer is enabled with vocal booster, loudness compensation is strongest, headset virtual room effect is set to large room
SPEAKER:
bass boost is on, effect strength is moderate. equalize is enabled with vocal booster.
BLUETOOTH
compression is enabled, effect is slight, bass boost is enabled, with moderate effect strength, equalizer is enabled, with vocal booster
USB/DOCK
Compression is enabled, effect is moderate, bass boost is enabled, with extreme effect strength, equalizer is enabled, with vocal booster , loudness compensation is disabled, room is set to large room.
Hope it will work for everyone with the same issue I had. If there is somebody who can better explain what the modified setting please reply
This is a known bug with all cm based 4.2 and above Roms. There is no fix for it, if there us I have yet to see or hear of it.
Theres one simple trick you can do to get the volume normal.
During your phone call press volume down then back up (just one tic) it should make the call volume much louder. It works on all cm11 based Roms.

Up until now I had no problem with the volume using the settings mentioned above. There is no need to push the volume button up&down.

I've noticed that media volume is being affected by in call volume.
Many times it happens I'm listening to music when a call comes, which being too loud (since i'm using my earphones) I reduce it by lowering the in call volume. After the call end the media volume gets reduced and it doesn't go up even if you max it out, although it can be lowered...
The remedy to fix it is make a dummy call and max out the in call volume, dis-connect and voila you're media volume is back up which can be lowered as desired...
Its not a serious bug as its temporary fix easy to apply but since most of the major android bugs on HD2 have been ironed out, so if developer has the time it would be great if they can look into it.
Also this a kernel/sound module bug, as I've seen it persist across different ROMS by different chefs. Yhough I have not tried Sense, but it present in both CM7 and MIUI roms whatever I tried so far..If some sense user can confirm, it would be helpful as these roms have different kernel...
I m currently using the ROM in my signature and i give a negative confirmation. Meaning in my HD2 and ROM i have faced no such issues. The media volume is independent of the In-Call volume.
Btw i admit once i noticed this bug when i was trying a MIUI rom.
Yes it exists. You can verify it.
1. Install Volume control
2. Play any music
3. Modify the InCall volume.

Yes even I think this might be specific to MIUI Roms.
Can anybody verify the same with AOSP roms?

So sense roms doesnt have this bug, it seems...
Well i remember having faced a similar issue when i was typhoons cm7 rom around a month or two back
I have also observed this 'bug'. My initial thought was that the DSP manager (I'm currently on CM ROM) does not restore the correct profile after hang up.
No bug on jw-miui. Tested like this: launch music, volume set to max
Did a call, adjusted in call volume to low.
Hang up, miui music start to play with its full volume (just like i set it before).
Second test was with low music volume. It works too. So I can't confirm the bug.

I know this has been an issue for a lot of people by searching the forums, but I was wondering if anyone has had any success at all in boosting the in-call volume to an audible level on the Galaxy Nexus with JB installed? I've tried using a custom kernel (Franco and Trinity), NexusLouder MOD, the build.prop settings, all to no avail. I can hardly listen to the other person within a phone call, unless its in a quiet room. One anomaly I have noticed is that the in-call volume is louder one step down from the maximum, which is a bit odd. I know its listed as a bug in the Google Code database, but how widespread is the problem? It's pretty hard to classify it as a phone when you can't hear phone calls.

I had the exact same problem untill i used this
Volume+ its an app that lets you change the volume of calls and other audio sources
download the app and run it
go to speaker settings and enable speaker modifications
tap on Volume level and try some
go to the dialer and press the menu button and enable extra volume on calls.
I hope this helps. also consider trying a different kernel for your device that should fix the problem too
I'll. Give it a try

Volume increased add expense of extra background noise

Hello, I'm using PAC nightly from May 16, been using an alpha build from April 16 before that and I'm loving PAC! The only thing I can't seem to figure out is the headset volume. 70% of the time I use my phone is to listen to music. The overall volume level on PAC is a bit low for me, even with the safe listening volume setting disabled and volume maxed out I keep wishing for more. I'm on Galaxy S3 International if that matters, but I don't think it does - I've been using CM10 and 11 previously and some of their builds went way louder (I updated pretty much every week to the latest nightly and the max volume varied with every build). So I know it's not the hardware maximum volume that's keeping me down. I'd like to ask if there is an option / setting anywhere which would allow me to increase the maximum volume. It would have to be something deep down in the system I guess, I don't actually think there's a "Make louder" button hidden somewhere in the settings.. When I crank the preamp of my Poweramp the sound distorts, which to me suggests the sound levels in the software are okay, and then they get clamped by an audio driver / kernel / something like that.. I'm a linux user, so I'm comfy with shell & digging in system files, but I'm no Android expert, so I dunno where to start looking. Could anyone please help out?
I have the same issue while on calls ..guess they don't have solution for this

If you go to Lineage or Lineage based rom forums, you will see some requesting to have volume lowered. If you go to Omni forum, there are those who find Omni's soft volume problematic. In my case, I work in a quite environment and lowest volume on Lineage based roms is already as loud as making a public announcement.
I wish we had good volume system which provides low-low to loud-loud but we do not.
I tried modifying mixer_paths_tasha.xml values as recommended by hundreds of guides on internet. It does not make any changes. Then I came across audio_platform_info.xml file. I played with it but no changes.
Then I noticed that the problem is not just volume being high but adjusting volume not doing anything. I do not know if it is specific to ACIP 8.0 that is still in beta stage. I recall this problem was there for Lineage roms in Marshmallow and Nougat days. If it is a persistent problem, lowering various values on those files would be waste of time. And I will need to look elsewhere.
Can anyone tell me call volume adjustment has been fixed on Lineage roms?
I read people complimenting Resurrection Remix and Omni's call quality. As for OMNI, it is based on AOSP but RR is Lineage. Can anyone tell me if call volume can be adjusted on RR? If adjustable, I will be better off comparing RR audio files since it's Lineage based rom.
P.S., I even came across some users of other phone with same problem ultimately fixed the problem by attaching a tape on the speaker. Man, I wish we do not have to settle with that ugly solution.

I recommend changing the sound files on the stock rum.
For me, the most trouble-free audio files are always there. @4K2K

Thank you for the suggestion but the difference between stock rom and AICP too vast for me to compare.
I compared Omni and AICP's mixer_paths_tasha and Audio_platform_info file. Noticing hundreds of differences, I just copy pasted Omni files to AICP.
I was hoping it would break things at least. Nope. It does not make any differences. So I guess it is pointless to modify values on those files?
I went further by deleting various audio config files AICP has that Omni do not. That caused a boot loop.
I am using AICP 12.1 now and have no problem with speaker when making calls. Volume control works fine. Problem with earphones still remains though.

You mean the earpiece call not the speaker call right?
If so, I gotta take a look at AICP 12.1 files.

Sorry, my English isn't very good. I mean regular calls when you have to place your phone near to your ear. No problems with that. Using headphones for calls is still problematic though.
I am. Omni rom and the call volume is too low. The ear piece volume started out normal then slowly goes down. I tried changing the value from suggestion in omni tread but the issue is still there. The other rom call volume is fine

Thank you for the update. I am glad to hear it works on Nougat AICP. I guess the issue was fixed after so long which means same thing can happen on Oreo roms sooner or later.
I wish I had knowlege on Android system or general coding. I am looking and comparing values of these files from different roms but still clueless. At least, I have input from @darkobas
@4K2K: in RR you can improve the audio quality in CDLA (reducing the loud effect) installing Dolby Atmos: you can create a personal profile, and adjust the equalizer reducing the low frequencies. This ROM can ensure, at moment and imho, the best quality audio during calls via speakerphone.
bad callling sound issue
