Hey guys,
I know on some rooted Samsung phones you can edit a config file to increase the speaker volume on voice calls.
I can't seem to find it for the Robin.
I often have my phone a few feet away while working on things and sometimes it's a bit hard to hear on speaker.
Any help would be awesome
Try Dolby Atmos or ViperFX.
They're available as Magisk Modules also.

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
in resurrection remix rom i have the same problem my sound is too low for the other side when try on spaker it is worse than it thenother side i am talking with is hearing parazits i aö going to try stock rom and other roms. does anynone find a solition
Hi, but how does it happen if the sound of hands-free speakers when calling a previously standing cyanogenmod was and louder than on Lineage OS, and the sound of the conversational speaker is even quieter. I received the answer https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3735431
then you need to edit the kernel, There is a Kernel Adiutor application, I installed it, but I did not find the audio / sound section. Can you please make a screenshot of this application where is this audio / sound section?
You will require an editable kernel for your device and ROM to access the sound panel but it has various gain/volume settings, such as in this image, found online.

This module fixes the low microphone sensitivity for the Xiaomi Mi A3. Only when the device NOT is in your ear.
Tested only on Stock Android Pie (9).
The module does not increase the volume of microphones present in headphones.

Installation
Hello,
Thanks a lot for your support.
The module installation is ok but there is no difference about microphone gain.
When I call someone (WhatsApp, Facebook messenger or sim call), he doesn't hear me correctly. The sound is low and seems to be "very muffled".
What should we do with it ?
The phone is brand new.
Thanks in advance.
Hi friend, in my tests the gain in mic is noticeable. But the gain is only in handsfree mode. There is no noticeable change in normal mode, ie when the device is against the ear.
Maybe your problem is with the microphone hardware. When you do not using the module, can the other person on phone call hear you normally?
I use this magisk module, which I found on xda. Sorry don't have the link to the thread. It was made for one plus but seems to work with a3. Helps pick up my very weak voice. Ymmv.

Mic gain
Hello,
When I do not use the module, persons cannot hear me correctly when I'm a bit far from the phone.
The sound is very muffled.
I found a workaround with disabling Google now and it seems to work better.
Just unathorize microphone for Google apps.
It's ok now but mic gain must be higher.
I'd like to know how we can do it with mixer_paths file.
Thanks
@FredMontteiro thanks for this module. My phone's microphone is working much better in hands-free mode now ???
Magisk module is not applied
I think that Magisk module are not applied.
Because I've tried 2 different modules and no result
The installation is correct but not working.
Is there something to check before and after module installation ?
Thanks in advance.
Anyone know how to turn it up or if there is a module to boost the volume , I love this phone but why is the in call volume so low.
I have tried a module in the apps section but I can not tell the difference.
Might have to root your phone and install a Magisk or xPosed module.
Hello mate,
You want more volume ont the earspeaker or in the loudspeaker?, If its in the earspeaker then try my module on https://forum.xda-developers.com/nu...ule-to-boost-headphones-calls-volume-t4154475 .
Install version SoundBooostX2 on Magisk, it will increase volume on Earspeaker and on Headphones.
Good Day ?
Loudspeaker not earspeaker
Hi,
I have issues with Sss-sibilants at phone calls: they are too loud for my ears through the speaker of the OnePlus 7T even at the lowest speaker volume.
So, I have the idea to lower the volume of specific speaker's frequencies [around 4-10 kHz].
Is there a way to this?
I can't find a possibility in the audio controls of the Oxygen OS.
Maybe there is a possibility using "MagiskHide Props Config" or there is a simple equalizer which works at system level to control the speaker for phone calls.
Thanks in advance for any ideas/solutions.

Edit: I haven't tried it yet so use at own risk... Though I may give it a go yet cause I like to play
Thanks for the link =)
I'll give it a try.
Hopefully the settings also normalize the hearing experience while having phone calls...
