Low call volume - Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers

Greetings
I have a TA-1050 (Australia) model, and after an update I have very low call volume (apparently a common problem), its ok through headphones.
I've tried all the suggestions I could find on the net.
1. Do other roms have this problem? (thinking LineageOS)
2. how easy is it to "go back" to january release?
TIA

Hi, I'm having the same issue again with a Nokia 6.1 TA 10-43. The first time was repaired in warranty (earpiece replace and downgrade to Pie).
This time I've tried to replace earpiece by myself but didn't solved the problem.
Is it possible to reinstall the same firmware (android 10) without unlock or downgrades, like old Nokia recovery tools?

So, after months I've managed to unlock bootloader and install stock 9.0 Pie Rom, result: still low volume.
Now I've updated to last stock Android 10 version (April 21 security patch), installed Magisk and searched for mixer_paths.xml to edit earpiece settings but it seems this file doesn't exist on this phone.
EDIT: I've found them in root/vendor/etc: there are various mixer_paths files (like mixer_paths_sd1 mixer_paths_tavil mixer_paths_tasha mixer_paths_pl2 mixer_paths_i2s etc.)
Tried to edit them all, increasing value from 84 to 90 for RX* Digital Volume and DEC* Volume and saving but after restart they comes all back to default value of 84.
Any ideas on how to boost earpiece volume with root?
The next step I think is to change phone, unfortunately

Ok, I've found that changes of mixer_paths files reverts to original values due to write protection of stock ROM. Maybe installing a custom ROM should bypass this protection.

incall volume in leaked gingerbread 2.3.4.-134 to low

hi all,
i am currently using defy with the leaked GB 2.3.4.-134 from previously 2.2.1-155. which is my favorite froyo build to upgrade due to (for me) its best battery life conpared to 179
all is working good but i have one issue with this, the in call volume is way too low even when i max out the volume settings anx use the brightest voice quality option. I have read around and this seems to be somewhat common accross models that upgrades into Gingerbread, not limited to defy only. Nobody has posted about it in the forum, so am i the only ones experiencing this? all other sounds is loud enough, just the incall volume, i recall my froyo have an e,xcellent in-call volume.
at first i thought itwas the greenbread mod for the camera ( which render my live wallpaper to FC ) but after i reflash 155, then GB 134, the probkem was there prior me installing the greenbread moxd.
then tried CM7 rc1v2 and the problem remains. no mention about that on the CM7 Forum as well.
any help for the problem guys?
an update,
look into some forums an decided to purcahse an app called volume+(can i mentioned an paid app here for non commercial reasons?) and doesnt do anything to my problem, still no change to the in call volume.
Don't know about GB, but you should have no volume problem w CM7.
Just make sure that you do a factory reset from STOCK recovery before flashing your 155 Froyo.
I did a full sbf flash on all of my froyo with a stock recovery wipe prior to it. so what I did was full wipe, flash 155 frying, root, install 2nd unit, and then install either cm7 or 134 via 2nd unit recovery. The problems exist in both, but when I am in 155, in call volume is loud. I am having serious trouble pinpointing the source of the problem and have yet find any fix.
Try Audio Manager pro. It's a paid app though, but you can see all the volumes controls your phone has to offer and adjust them accodingly.

Android 6.0 CFW - No sounds & can't call / be called

Hello @ all !
Since the update to Android 6.0 there are no more sounds.
Everything in connection with sound don't work. When i change volume level, there is no "beep" ton.
Also i can't call or can be called. When i try to call it freeze, only power menu to restart works. When somebody trys to call me, it's like my phone is off, but it's on.
I am registerd to the network, so i can send and reach sms / use the internet.
I tried the ROM from Leedroid , ViperRom , RevolutionHD and MaximusHD. ( FULL WIPE etc. i tried every option.... )
When use the CandySix Rom, i have sound and i can call...
Would be great if anybody could help me.
THX A LOT!
I think I may have the same issue. I purchased a used M9 of AT&T variant. I know it had sound as the first time I booted it I heard the ATT boot sound. I never used the phone though and I immediately entered fastboot and changed it to a developer edition (the phone was already s-off and unlocked) I then installed LeeDroid via TWRP. The rom works fine but I have no sound at all from internal speakers or headphones. I also tried ViperOneM9 with the same result. I have not yet tried CandySix, but I will.
The only thing that is different fro me is that I don't have a sim yet for my carrier so the phone isn't yet registered. It is on wifi though. No sounds work at all. Touch sounds, volume rocker sounds, notifications, music also doesn't play from mp3's I have on my sd card (they actually don't seem to even start as the time counter doesn't ever start even after hitting pause and play)
Any Ideas at all?

Take a look over in the LeeDroid thread. You need to flash the latest firmware before installing the HTC MM based ROMs.
it's awlays common sense to read the OP. especially when there is a major upgrade like from lollipop to marshmallow where the whole firmware is changed/modified . be always sure to run latest firmware when trying to use latest roms. aosp/cm are a different story, for them it doesn't matter if lollipop firmware or MM is used

[HELP-ME] Xiaomi Mi6 without audio and without microphone

Can someone help me please?
My cell phone does not sound or even in the microphone.
Microphone is muted.
I plugged in my JBL Bluetooth headset, and it was also without audio and microphone. I restarted the phone, with the JBL turned on via Bluetooth, the phone's sound came back, but the microphone didn't.
If I restart again, without JBL connected via bluetooth, the problem of no audio comes back, and the microphone is not sounding.
I think the problem has to do with software, not hardware.
In view, I often restart the phone, and sometimes come back.
Just yesterday, I restarted the phone, and out of nowhere, the microphone and the audio came back. It lasted a day, and it got bad again.
The headset by the type C adapter also does not recognize in the phone.
I put the headset on, the headset icon does not appear on the taskbar, let alone sound on the headset or microphone.
Is it a MIUI bug? Should I keep flashing Miui through Xiaomi Flash until the bug goes away?
My current MIUI is Miui Global 10.4.1 (10.4.1.0) PCAMIXM.

Probably a bug with your firmware.
Try to do a clean install of the rom or a factory reset to the phone.
I had a bug with my Wi-Fi with my Mi6 for over a year. Between Global stable, xiaomi eu beta and STABLE, my wifi was always dropping, sometimes more than others. Now it's fix. Probably magic.
I had problems with xiaomi roms that what fixed it was flashing the same zip over and over again until it started working. Not even flashing the phone back to stock fixed it.
Always backup your stuff before doing a factory reset.

I just reset it, still nothing, turned the microphone back on once the ROM installation was over, and then the microphone is muted again.
I upgraded from the phone itself, in the system update tab, and located the internal memory.
I don't know if so, the installation is less clean, is it?
For Xiaomi Mi Flash, it only works if Xiaomi has the bootloader unlocked, mine is locked.
To unlock the bootloader, also only if it's in developer ROM, I was in stable.
What do you think?
Now I'm in the developer ROM, better unlock the bootloader, and try to re-rom via Xiaomi Mi Flash or install TWRP, and go there?
Will this make the installation cleaner?
I am still confident that the problem is firmware, not hardware really.
The newest vantom kernel might be the cause?

How did you do ? I'm stuck in the same situation. I have tried to flash stock rom, flash another rom, but still no sound and no microphone

Friend, I couldn't solve it so far. I do not know what else to do!
Already blinked stock rom, both by twrp, both by Xiaomi Flash. I installed Line OS rom, thinking that maybe out of stock could solve, and nothing.
And so far, I don't know if the problem really is software or hardware.
Thinking it was hardware, I bought the charging plate that comes with the microphone capsule days ago, I changed the part, thinking it could be the capsule, but the problem still persists.

How did your problem start?
Do you remember?
My, I do not even remember how it started, I already have this problem, a few months ago.
I tried to contact Xiaomi Global too, to no avail, they only recommended I do, what I had already done, factory reset, and etc ...

It would be nice if someone else, experienced in Xiaomi phones and the firmware / software issues of the phone, could help us.
I don't think people see much of the help tab topics around here.
I'm thinking of sending a private message to members who always post rom's here on XDA.
Can you solve the problems you encountered? I also encountered the same problem as you.
I know this thread is bit old, just to try to give some piece of mind for the ones searching out there (like me)
I have not solved the problem, there is no audio output in anyway, neither the microphone works.
After long time i taken my Xiaomi Mi 6 and flashed Lineage OS on it (lineage-19.1-20221013-nightly-sagit-signed) and using adb logcat to check the logstream from the device, i get the following messages:
11-09 00:04:35.233 28971 29014 E AudioSystem-JNI: AudioSystem::listAudioPorts error -19
11-09 00:04:35.233 28971 29014 W AudioManager: updateAudioPortCache: listAudioPorts failed

This lines repeat a lot of times, so I dig into Android Code Search to checkout what is the -19 code. Per def in the source code, -19 is the ENODEV constant, saying "/* No such device */".
As this constant is used everywhere in the source code, I need more time to isolate and found out where this error relates to the Audio System.
I still can't determine if it's a software problem or a reporting from the software that the hardware is faulty. I will update this message as i discover more.

Have you found anything? I'm having the same problem, is it actually a hardware issue or is it software?

bootloop, can I alter a stockrom to implement custom parts?

Ok so I kinda knackered my install by incorrectly swapping a font and changing it with a different app.
to get my system back up and running I fixed bootloop in twrp and obviously lost root.
I'm not too bothered as I can clean install and setup quite quickly or fix the issue once I have more time.
My general question is would it be possible to change the stockrom for custom bits?
An example is flashing h3g UK(three UK) WiFi calling settings from a mbn by inserting it into the stockrom?
Changing default sounds? I know flashing android10 has issues with sounds and wondering if this is something that can be altered.
Also enabling diagport?
I know there are settings and magisk modules to enable this after flashing a stock rom.
I'm at a guess an intermediate user so I'm probably biting off more than I can chew.

[Solved] Still no sound after Speaker replacement & lineageos 16 install

SOLVED : I found out that when pressing very firmly the corner where the speaker is, it worked : I opened again the phone, scratched every contacts and bent a little the metal pins of the speaker to the outside and problem solved.
Hello,
I just changed the speaker from my Lenovo P2 after unlocking bootloader and installing LineageOS... and the sound is still not working.
I changed this component : https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32960355310.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.45396c37wUiHxj
Does anyone know what can be the root cause of the issue ?
- maybe replacement part was already broken (that's a possibility for sure)
- maybe a wire issue (but I think there is no wire) ?
- another component to replace ? but which one ?
Is there a way to test the speaker I removed with a sound source to see if it was indeed broken ?
thanks
To verify if it is a hardware failure - just reflash the 6.0.1 or android 7 stock rom - if audio is working again - flash lineage again with the correct twrp (mike's version) und recheck.
The sound issue happened on the stock rom android 7...
Should I reflash anyway? Can I reflash directly stock rom from lineageos 16 (standard twrp install) with my unlocked bootloader?
Thanks
