On every custom rom I've tried the mic volume is too low on WhatsApp/Instagram voice notes.
I'm not sure if this also affects calls (Anyone has complained to me about my volume) but it's annoying.
I always used Magisk 19.3 and at first I thought that was the problem but I updated it to 20.4 and nothing changed. Right now I'm in PixelPlusUI
Any ideas?

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.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
On my d2att if I lower the in call volume all the way down the volume is loud on the next call. On the 2nd call if I move the volume up two clicks the volume returns to a low setting?? This seems to have started with 4.4 roms, but I haven't tried loading something older to confirm this. Initially thought it was from dirty flashes but I've done a few clean since. I have tried slim and cm11 and had the same issue. I also tried updating the firmware from LK3 to MG2. Anybody else experience this or know a fix?
Thanks

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
I've seen a few mentions here and there on rom threads about issues with the i747 speakerphone - but no responses as to how to/it was fixed - specifically not being able to control speakerphone volume as well as echo on the other end of the call when trying to use speakerphone.
I've had the issue on OctOS and Slim roms, both 7x and 6x android versions, but not having an issue if going back to stock rom. The volume and clarity is fine & adjustable when using the handset, but when you switch to speakerphone in call it is really loud and the clarity is bad (it cuts out every other word or so) as well as the person on the other end says they can hear themselves. When pressing the hardware volume keys the on screen indicator is showing lowering the volume, but it doesn't have much if any impact on the volume coming out of the speakerphone.
What needs to be updated or flashed to take care of the speakerphone issues?
Same (but different) on basic Lineage rom
I also recently tried a base Lineage 14 rom (lineage-14.1-20180531-UNOFFICIAL-d2att). There is definitely a noticeable change in speakerphone volume when its adjusted with this rom however the echo persists.
I TWRP'd back to a recent Oct-N backup since it was fully setup already and the base Lineage didn't fix the issue. I paired a Bluetooth headset while on Oct-N and it works just fine, so that's a workaround for not being able to use the speaker.
It seems to me the echo is being caused by the speakerphone mic picking up the speaker audio. Is there a way to adjust echo cancellation or the sensitivity of the speakerphone mic (not seeing anything in basic settings menus)?

restoring the original you will get rid of the problem
I've been having low in call volume since this summer, despite wiping, upgrading, etc pixel XL.
Speakerphone volume is fine, bt volume is fine, headphone volume is fine. Just in call earpiece volume(ear next to phone).
I was finally able to root my device, so I thought about trying to fix this again.
I saw viper4android, but I'm not sure this will work for Android P/9?
I also saw some references to system/etc/mixer_paths.xml, however, I don't seem to have that file?
Any ideas?
