Just wanted to hear other people's experience. For me the volume both on earpiece and especially using loudspeaker, the volume is too high when using fb Messanger and Whatsapp. Yes, even on lowest possible setting, to the point I need to hold the phone away from my ear or cover the holes of speakerphone like 2/3 for it to not be annoying.
Media volume and normal calls volume are fine.
Do you share similar experience or it's just me? I have tried crDroid, HavocOS, LineageOS and other ROMs, am currently on LOS where I think it's a bit better (might be placebo).
Thanks in advance.

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?
Just wondering if anyone has tried Skype, Google Hangouts or the like where you have the call volume set to max?
I can hear the other party just fine, but they tell me that from my end the sound is very muffled. I finally figured out that I can solve this by turning the volume down 2 or 3 notches, but then I can only make the call in a quiet room or else I can't hear them properly!
I reckon what must be happening is that the phone is trying to compensate for the speaker and mic being so close together (stopping feedback) that at loud volume it just aggressively cancels too much out which then includes my own voice.
So now I think I also know why normal speakerphone/handsfree phone calls are so soft in volume - Sony have deliberately knobbled it as a workaround rather than fixing the core issue. But other apps are allowed to use a higher speaker volume and so run into this issue if using the microphone as well.
Hi, I'm using Note 2 with stock ROM unrooted
I think an app such as Viber or WhatsApp are interfering with volume on it.
Sometimes when I plug in my earphones to listen to music, the volume level stays the same as before, however it is obviously not as loud as it should be. Maximum volume is only about half the actual volume. Then I have to restart the phone.
This is annoying, is there a fix?
Is anyone else upset about the low volume while on a call. Is there anyway to change it? Or modify etc/path.XML. just need a little boost not much. Already using viper and dual audio speaker mod so those don't seem to help at all as they don't control the ear piece. I'm rooted on latest pure nexus.
I actually sometimes put in-call volume too high and it hurts my ear unless I hold the phone away an inch or two because it's too loud.
I have WiFi calling turned on, and voice privacy off.
NO issue at all! It's call quality is great! Crystal clear and loud sound!
Perhaps the dual speaker mod affected call volume in some way? I don't have that mod but do have V4A. No issues with call volume.
Hmm, probably the ROM. Cause this phone has the best call quality I have ever experienced, and too loud, and look where I live! Including them old Nokias and Motorolas and BlackBerries.
I have the Redmi Note 8 (gingko), and when taking calls (eg WhatsApp) on earphones the volume is too loud, even when sliding the volume slider all the way down. This is not a problem specific to the earphones (connected via audio jack), I've tried several sets.
Since I currently runlineageOS 17.1, I tried adjusting the AudioFX equalizer to reduce volume, but it only works for playing music and not calls unfortunately.
With root I installed Viper4Android, which likewise is only effective for music but not calls.
Does anybody know of a solution with which I can reduce the in-call volume further beyond the minimum? Possibly there is a custom ROM, or a custom kernel I'm unaware of that resolves my issue.
Me (and my ears !) would gladly appreciate any help or pointers
