[BUG] Media Volume dependent on In call volume

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.

Low earpiece audio during call, CM11

My earpiece volume is annoying low. I already went to /system/etc/tiny_hw.XML and changed the default output to 63, but its still not quite loud enough and when put past 63 I get no audio out of the earpiece at all. Anyone got a fix for this?

Not to promote any specific ROM but there are a couple of other AOSP ROMS in the regular development forum where the volume works great without the annoying low volume bug. Dirty Unicorn and Liquid Smooth. Read the user comments an the ROM change logs as well as features and you will find a ROM where the volume works as it should. The above mentioned ROMS come to mind.

Is the fix for their ROMs able to be implemented into CM11? I have 3 android phones in my house and I use the same ROM across them to figure out problems easier.

[Q] cm12 audio - sudden audio volume jumps

I think this is a problem across all g3 cm12 tons for d855 (can't vouch for other variants)
After about 60% volume on Bluetooth which is safe volume comfortable to listen to, however pressing volume up after this level it goes dead silent and fades in to over 100% volume which is deafaningly loud, have to reduce two levels of volume in order to stop the loud fade in.
Same also applies to the speaker, on alarms on 70% volumes it jumps to almost double the loudness, both become very very distorted anyone else getting this problem?
I'd normally do a bit more research but I'm working long hours this week and thought I'd make people aware if they haven't seen it.
Off topic note - what is up with XDA ads! XDA premium isn't loading so using the website, it just redirects without clicking any ads all the time doesn't even open in a new tab have to go back two or three pages, happens on all androidroms official or not

More issues..

I have the same issue when my Android Wear brings volume down on my phone when I speak a voice command.. When the volume come back instead of going back to the volume it was at it just increases volume of the music at a steady rate. Doesnt actually increase the setting volume but happens in the background. Touching volume control stops it and jumps back to the actual volume. Also happens when I use Google now.
If others can confirm it's fully consistent. Happens every time.

I didnt get a chance to test bluetooth again, but i noticed it happened on my alarm too, using timely it slowly gets louder, then all of the sudden fades to REALLY loud and distorted! (im hoping it wont blow the speaker)

I have the same Issue running CM12 on Note 4. Waiting for a fix.

Call Volume Issue (Too high or low) Discussion

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

Whatsapp audio error

hello, since my nexus 5x is back from service with replacement motherboard, I upgraded to OREO 8.0 and then 8.1 both in stock and now with Twrp and magisk I have the following problem with whatsapp:
-listening to a voice message, away from face, the sound comes out of the speaker at low volume, bringing it closer to the face, the screen turns off properly but the sound always comes out of the speakerphone speaker at higher volume! never leaves the phone capsule !!
the proximity sensor works correctly.
some idea?
I already tried hard reset etc ..

I have the same problem, also motherboard replaced device.
I was looking for a solution and found this thread

the only temporaly help i found is to mod the audio with dolby mod, so i have the audio in the both speaker!
but it'snt helpfull! :crying:

I have the same problem, my phone is stock, not rooted and got the motherboard changed a few months ago. but i've noticed this particular problem just a couple of weeks ago. hope there's a fix!
P.S. the problem occurs just with Whatsapp, i don't have this problem on audio messages in Telegram

according to you, it's to send another time to LG asking for help?

Same problem here, only with WhatsApp. I would say the problem is related to Android Oreo, both 8.0.0 and 8.1.0, I have this problem since I updated my phone.

Same problem here but with Nexus 6P.

i don't think so... I really believe it might be related of Oreo update and something with the app itself... otherwise it would have happened in other apps too!

Same problema since I update to Oreo stock 8.1. ?

Same here. After updating to Oreo 8.1

Any Solution? ?

Now in telegram too

Downgrade from Android 8.1 to 8.0.
Search for: developers google factory images nexus
After this inactivate automactic system update on Developer options and keep 8.0 version until Google releases a version (perhaps 8.2 or 9) that fix this problem.
