I've searched the forum and found many answers, but none worked for me.
I've rooted HTC Desire 2.3.3. I'd like to increase the incall volume as its not loud enough for me. I'd also like to increase incall volume while making Skype call.
I tried with this app volume+ but it didn't help much.
I once had seen in the forum, replacing some sound profile files in the system partition to increase the volume. I can't find that post anymore. Can anyone help me find that tutorial again. Or if there is any other better way to increase incall volume would be great as well.
I think this in some way has to do with the type of kernel that you are using. I have noticed that ever since i started using bananacakes kernels, my volume is so loud that i reduce it to 50%. Previously I couldnt hear anything.
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?
Basically what the guy above just said:

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?
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 would suggest you to get a good custom rom and flash it , most of them have unlinked volumes and pretty ok . i have tried xylon and para android and others. all are good . you can have your pick
Hi Guys,
I have a peculiar problem. I run Android version 10 on One Plus 7T Version 10.3.2.HD65AA, Model HD1901
I do a lot of video calls on my job . When I am on a video call on a loud speaker and it is interrupted by cell phone call, even if i accept or reject the cell phone call, my loudspeaker volume significantly reduces to be inaudible levels .The volume is maximum , but its inaudible. I have to disconnect the video call and restart the phone to be able to converse on loud speaker. This is very irritating and affecting my job. I have tried to search a lot and have not found any effective answer . This happens even with headphones .
I notice this typically on whatsapp video call and browser based video calls like doxy.me. With zoom and google meet, i am logged out if i accept the cell phone call, so i have to rejoin the meetings and the sound level is audible.
I would really appreciate any piece of advice on solving this issue as its interfering with my job, besides being a nuisance.
PS : I have had to factory reset my phone twice recently for other reasons as below and it still has not solved this issue .
1. I had missing icons in my top shelf in contact app ( plus sign , delete button , hamburger bottom) and file app (hamburger sign , find button and delete bin) after one particular update
2. Had notification problems which again needed factory reset
Thank you all in advance

I did update to open beta 3. Unfortunately that has not helped.. The volume still went down when the phone call came.
This is frustrating honestly.
Thank you for your help though.

BUG: Phone speakers won't work after video calling
Device: Oneplus 7T on 10.0.9HD65AA
How to reproduce:
1. Video call using facebook messenger or similar app
2. Play music or video thru speakers, they won't work
3. Restart phone, speaker will work again
*note: there is a faint sound coming from the earpiece, like when you're calling someone
Already reported this to OnePlus. Very frustrating bug.

My problem could be this bug that u reported. Did they reply back to you?
I just had this happen when using MS Teams on a conference call. I had speakerphone enabled, and a call came in. I declined the call, but the Teams call switched to the earpiece (which was of lower volume). To fix, I just switched from Speaker, to Device and then back to Speaker. This happens on AOSP (on my OnePlus 5T) as well.
I don't think it's an Oxygen problem, but it's something that can likely be fixed if they know about it.

After installing AOSP on the 7T, this continues to happen with Microsoft Teams meetings when I have speaker enabled, receive a phone call and decline it, and it switches automatically to earpiece.
The solution of switching to earpiece in Teams and then back to speaker fixes it. All without disconnecting from the meeting.

So this did work for me. Today when the volume reduced after a phone call during my zoom meeting, I plugged in my ear phones and then removed them after 2 min, the volume was back to full and audible.
Thanks a lot for this tip. It's a life saver for me. Really appreciate it.

You're welcome. It's more of a workaround because it seems audio routing is just wonky in Android. I'm not sure if iOS does this but I can test that later with wife's phone.

Yep! Same here, MS Teams meeting, BT headset, dropped incoming call to voicemail and meeting volume became inaudible, so I had to drop and reconnect. Very inconvenient, especially because I was the meeting's host. I will try to switch audio device in Teams next time, kudos for that!
hey guys!
is it just me or is the sound of voice messages played on the device really low compared to how the generell sound volume of media is? for example if i play voice msgs from my people i need to crank up the volume just to be blasted when listening to a youtube clip after that.
also: my voice messages seem to be quite low in volume too. this is in whatsapp and telegram too. i am speaking directly "to the screen" btw.
last but not least: my speed up button in whatsapp audios disappeared. does someone know this issue?
thanks so much!
Same problem with the low microphone volume: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-eg-whatsapp-duo-signal-telegram-etc.4402675/
