I recently purchased the audiohack app from the Market before doing MUCH research.
Does it change the volume of the speakerphone or the in-call speaker, or is it just for use with headsets?
I ask because I followed the instructions to a T and haven't noticed a difference in speakerphone or internal speaker volume after using the hack. I backed up the audio dependencies, pushed v2 then v6, and still no difference in volume. I even let the music play in the background as instructed by the prompt and I noticed no difference in volume. I didn't even notice a difference when using a wired headset.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Changes volume for everything.

Has anyone found a decent solution for the low volume issue when using a headset on mt3g? I've tried all the meltus audio files but the sound ends up way too distorted. Its loud but it sounds like ****. The DSPManager on CM6r3 helps slightly but not enough. All I want is louder max volume when using a headset.

I am using Chromers 4.4 rom with Meltus audio files v2r2 and "headset boost +in call volume 1". I turned off the DSP thing. It made it all distorted.
I hope this helps, I know you said you tried the files.
I don't know if it's ROM related or not but I don't remember having this problem previously. I'll give the settings you mentioned a try though.

Any setting for the DSPManager for G1
My Bionic's lowest volume using headphones in calls is, unfortunately, still incredibly loud. I've used the volume rocker while in call to bring it down to its lowest setting, but that's still pretty loud.
Is there any software which can affect the call volume? An alternative dialer? I'm rooted, for what it's worth. I don't want to switch to a different type of headphones, but I can't really take this volume.
Thanks!

I searched the market and there are some apps the control volume, but they do not mention the range. They are free. So you might try them. Search "Volume Control".
I know you don't want to switch headphones, but here are in "in-line" volume controllers that you can add under your earphone plug.
Good luck
Unfortunately, all of the volume control apps that I've tried (by searching volume control as you suggested( have only been able to adjust in the same 1-7 point scale as the rockers. Really, I need a volume app which allows me to select a volume between 0 (silent) and 1 (the rocker's quietest setting.
I may look into on-headphone attenuators, but that's trouble too because not all calls are so loud.
That said, thanks for the response!

maybe...hold the phone farther away from your ear?
Wilbur,
I'm already hanging the earbuds from my ears pointing away to get down to a reasonable level with some conference call services. Sadly, it's a bit more complex than that
I too have been looking for this...Ive tried about 4 or 5 apps today. None of them well allow a setting between 0 and 1.
I am using a single mono AD2P headset, and trying to get the volume of the music a little lower. I just want it to be there kind of as background music, but it is too loud.
I've just gotten off the phone with a second-level tech at Verizon who said that variable call volume will be addressed in the next Bionic software update. He also said that it's currently in beta, and will drop Mid-November. Sorry to bump my own thread, but this is the first time I've gotten anybody at Moto or VZW to admit this was even a problem.
Hi All,
I hope all is well and you are enjoying the holiday break.
I'm having trouble with my new SGN: the "In-Call" volume is too low.
When I'm on a street or in the car (anywhere with background noise), I can barely hear what a person says when I'm talking on my phone. Headset/Speaker volume is fine and they can also be further boosted by using Volume+ app from the Market but I cannot seem to find any cure for the low In-Call volume.
I did some research online and I noticed someone has posted a trick to solve similar challenge for the SGII by using Samsung Service Code (See below)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dialer *#*#197328640#*#*
[5] AUDIO
[1] HANDSET
[1] VOLUME
[1] SRC Speech RX Volume
[5]5_lvl : 88
Menu -> Key Input
Change to any number greater than 88 (Max:100)
OK
Press back to save.
Default values:
0_lvl: 63
1_lvl: 68
2_lvl: 73
3_lvl: 78
4_lvl: 83
5_lvl: 88
---------------------------------------------------
** I tried the same trick on SGN which I purchased from Amazon but nothing happens when I select option, [5] AUDIO. It will not drill down to next set of sub-menus even if I key in the "5" from the main menu.
Please let me know if anyone else are also experiencing the similar challenges. Thank you very much for your time.
Unfortunately the sound is a big issue here.
Supercurio is working on an app to increase the vol. THis will need root and will work only on with the headset. THis app should be released in the next few days.
I was looking for a solution to increase the speaker volume ( Not quality ) as the speaker sound is low for voice calls.
There is an app called volume+ in the market. You can try it for the speaker.
Hi drgopoos,
Are you saying that you also felt In-Call Volume for SGN is way too low? I am just curious if I have a faulty unit or this issue is concerning all SGN units in general. I did try the Volume+ App from the market and it does boost the volume for Headset and External Speaker but it does nothing to the "In-Call" Volume.

Try moving the entire phone lower onto your ear. I know it sounds obvious, but the speaker is quite high on the device and my volume was low because the speaker was too high on my ear. Once I lowered it (feels awkward) it was much louder.
Anyone else felt the volume on your SGN is way too low or am I going deaf...
Can you recommend a way to remedy this problem?
I know how frustrating it can be when the earpiece speaker isn't loud enough. My nexus one had low in-call volume and it was frustrating. My Note, however, has very high in-call volume on the earpiece speaker! I have to turn it down a few notches for comfort. I'd say you might have a defective unit, or maybe you're holding it wrong like that other guy suggested.
If you're talking about the external speaker being too quiet, the one for speaker phone calls, playing music, ring tunes/notifications, etc., then I agree. I hope Supercurio's working on a fix for that. I'm currently using an equalizer from the market that allows me to turn all frequencies up a few decibels, but at the expense of sound quality.
Mine is loud enough...

The volume is ok with ear peice when i am inside the house and silent.
However outside , when i am walking in the street its to difficult.
Both indoors and outdoors my Note is one of the loudest phones i owned. I can't complain about its ear piece. In fact, i have to lower it 2-3 clicks to be comfortable
Yeah...I got the same problem also...
Indoor works great! but outdoor...oh man....
Earpiece in call volume is good. But, speakerphone in call volume is horrendous! I've tried volume+, equalizer, volume boost, AnEq Equalizer and nothing works! Very sad.
I can't access audio menu [5]. Always loopa me back to main menu. Doea anybody know how to fix that?

Even your speakerphone while in call? That is the one place I really need it because I often use speakerphone a lot while driving or just at home.

Actually, my earpiece volume is quite good. Just a suggestion, not meant to insult you, but since the phone is so large could it be possible you are not placing the earpiece properly over your ear?
For those with poor speakerphone volume the ONLY (I've tried at least 4-5) application I found that worked is Audioboost SGS2 (It's 2.5USD in the market) but that's the only one that truly raises EVERY volume. Be careful though I think there might be potential to damage your speakerphone if you raise it too high. I have it right around 88 (highest is 93)
Hope this helps!
My European version of SGN is about the loudest phone i ever had, speaker phone wise. It's also crystal clear! maybe because i was coming from Desire HD, which had kinda awful sound

I want to retract my last statement. Audioboost does raise the in-call speakerphone volume, BUT it effectively ruins everything else. It creates ALOT of static, even at middle volume levels. It was so bad I had to revert the settings and uninstall it. The search continues...
Mods please delete, I found the problem it's AudioManager not the system.
FYL21 said:
If I play a game or even use the music app and then plug in headphones, sometimes the volume levels become locked and I cannot even adjust them with my volume rocker. The only way out is a system restart or to use AudioManager.
Is anyone getting this problem?
I can't even change the sound profile!

Hi, FYL.
Seems that only both of us are audio maniacs here. Couldn't reproduce the bug on MaximusHD/Elegance rom, will try also on stock.
By the way, regarding the crackling issues - try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257814
I recently zipped Elegance rom from the android development thread with the sound mod - couldn't hear any zapping or crackling with my RC E160 with beats off.
oh well, I've found that for some reason AudioManager messed up. I disabled it and now it's all good. I'll contact them with regard to it. Mods please delete this thread.
As for the crackling well I haven't rooted my phone (yet anyway). I'm more than happy with the sound on my HTX7 at 14/15 of the volume, though maximum volume still gives a tiny bit of crackling (14/15 is louder than the volume on my HOX+ anyway).
I noticed the very low speaker volume since the first day I got it, the speaker volume is so low that I can only hear it on the maximum volume. This cannot be right. The latest upgrade (2A1.136) made the volume even lower.
Is there a software fix ?

read the forums, there is a fix in the development sections. flashable zip.
I've encountered this error too. I'm using musixmatch, in musixmatch the volume is so low. After try with Walkman app, the volume is getting louder. Back to musixmatch, the volume is fix now. I think there is a relation between Walkman and Sound. IDK. Just try, perhaps it's woks for you.

Coming from the HTC One i noticed that the audio wasn't great, but a few mods in and it's acceptable, still nowhere near as good as the HTC but definitely better.
