Hey guys,
The sound while talking on the phone is extremely low (and no, i am not going deaf) it is on maximum at all times, but i can still find it hard sometimes to hear what a person is trying to tell me My work phone's sound bar is always 3/10 on volume, because i got used to low volume
Is there any way of making it louder? Obviously my warranty is voided, but as far as i remember the low call sound started with the 20B update (i am now on 4.4.2 Beanstalk+iodak).
Thanks!
Try turning the volume down and then up again. Not a fix, but an easy workaround

I was wondering if anyone else has this issue, the sound being loud even on medium volume. Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated, besides lowering the volume

Check on Settings/Calls and see if there is a hearing aid option. If it is there, make sure it is unchecked. This setting will make earpiece calls sound very loud, almost like it was on speakerphone, and when it is on, lowering the volume has little or no effect.
I found that the hearing aid is on...but there is no way to uncheck it. The option is gone

I have the same issue with accessibility features. Hopefully the new update fixes that.

Same issue with theVolume always 100%
I have looked under every setting I could and nothing works. When I make or receivea call my ear volume is100%so I turn it down. Next call its back up. Itwill not stay low. Ive tried 4-5 volume controlers, some with locks. Really frustrating, all is stock. Any ideas???

During the installation process of Holics did you elect to install Sony's xLOUD Audio, by chance? I believe it is automatic unless you uncheck it. I'm guessing this is your problem. I have Holics on my Vivid (with Sony's xLOUD Audio) and I love the louder speakers. If you just don't like the volume during calls you could always use an app like Tasker to set the volume lower automatically when you answer a call.
great day everyone!

Try this
Go to settings > call settings > set equalizer to bright , disable voice enhancement.
and then hear the in call volume, u will be surprised
PS. After disabling the mic noise suppression, mic quality increases.

It's a little late to ask this but, could you solve your low call volume problem?
I have the same low volume trouble with my Xperia Go while making phone calls. The phone is good and still operable after years but i always had call problems. The in-call volume is too low, i can't hear the person clearly especially in noisy places. We used Sony Ericsson K750, w800 phones in the past and they also had low volume in calls. And i see that there are still some Sony users which complain about this same problem like us.
If you solved this issue, could you please let me know?
Thanks in advance. :good:
I don't know what XZ you guys have, but mine is too loud and I didn't do anything to it related to sound. In fact I'm quite annoyed that the phone is too loud when I have a conversation, thus everyone around me being able to hear. I always have to lower the volume to the minimum and it's still too damn loud.
Is there anything that can lower the volume, not make it go up??
I've even disabled the MusicFX and Audio Settings but it's still too loud..

Really?
I almost thougt that it was a Sony characteristic, to limit the volume to some certain level which is low, when compared to other brands (maybe for avoiding to damage the ears?). When i search the web with "sony xperia low call volume" parameters, i see there are lots of complaints about different phones from Sony (NOT just XperiaZ).
Do we have faulty phones, or do you have really sensitive ears? Can you please compare the sound level with different brand phones also?

mine is XZ C6603 and in-call volume is average. not too low or too loud (using bright equalizer on call setting)
have you try to re flash stock firmware? if yes, maybe you have faulty phone
Hey everyone,
I have the problem that the call-volume is very low. I've already tried different settings, but there is not really any help.
Does anyone have the same issues? When I'm in a silent ambient, it is okay, but e.g. in the train it is really hard for me to understand the other person.
And no - my ears are not THAT bad
Haven't really noticed an issue with mine, although not usually calling from anywhere that is too noisy.
yes i have that prob.setting the qualiser to bright and disabling speaker voice enhancement improves it a little. but still the call volume is low.
Yes i also feel its bit low... but not very low!
For me it's good enough!
When I have a call in quiet place or a noisy place like in the city or a cafe or something, I understand everything good
i have that problem tooooo.in fact i fight with my gf every time cuz i cant hear what she say ,any advice to fix this problem?can i change some setting and fix this?
It's not that bad! Try using the earphones

Did this solution work for anyone? I am not seeing much difference, please help me if there is any third party application which can be used to boost the volume.
I've wanted to find out if there's a way for some time!
I connect to my car via aux cable for hands free.
But when I get a call I have to increase volume 7 or 8 steps for me to hear.
And then when the call finishes, I get deafened from when the radio kicks back in!
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.
Does anyone else think that the phone speaker is quiet when you're talking to someone? Is plenty loud on speaker phone and during a movie but the in call volume is really quiet even at the max.
I noticed this too. I was wondering if maybe I was just holding it wrong because I noticed that if I held the phone a tad lower on my ear than normal, it was louder. I might just not be used to the premium size yet.
Any idea if this is software or hardware related? I'm thinking software because the music/video volume works just fine.
I'm having the same issue as well. I can barely hear people on the phone an ng i have to use speaker phone to hear them.
It's software. You can adjust the volumes accordingly in mixer_path.xml in /etc/

I think it gets loud and I'm a musician (aka deaf to a degree). I did notice the speaker phone only uses the top speaker though. Though it's plenty loud too
Anyone else with this problem. Mine is less than normal at the highest volume. Not sure if I should replace, my x2014 is loud! Have to have decent volume at my age

People still make phone calls?
Is this a case of HD Voice?

Never modified the volume before, are there specific values I need to use? Also I'm guessing I need root to do this?
I actually factory reset mine/unencrypted it and the sound in call actually sounds normal. Kinda odd.
Me either! my phone speaker is so low when start calling someone even in highest volume. Any possible fix ??

I would also like to know if this is possible to fix this issue.
i'm experiencing the same behaviors on my AT&T N6 (rooted/decrypted). i'm waiting for my 64GB version from T-Mobile to see if it's my phone. it would be nice if this could be addressed via updates to the mixer_path.xml.
I have the T-Mobile 64GB (Root/Encrypted), volume low as well,
I use volume+ (pay version), still low.
32 gb Google Play version here, and I can confirm that my earpiece volume is extremely low on max.
IIRC this should be fixable via a custom kernel.
My At&t version is very low as well. I thought it would be loud considering the speakers. I hope there is a update soon.
