Hi Guys,
So in short,
I've edited mixer paths and used franco kernel to mic boost - which sorted the MIC issue out.
But earpiece call volume is still too low, even with 5.1 now - has anyone actually found a solution.
Also why does the volume seem to have a mind of its own, it lowers itself at the start of every call and you have to put it back up.
Is there some sort of automatic volume adjustment going on ? Nowhere to turn it off ?
Thanks

No one? Especially the volume lowering itself question.

What exactly did you change to fix the mic issue? I've tried raising the gain and people still can't hear me in a call unless I use speakerphone.
Hey bro - faux kernel and faux sound app

Is there no way to do it using the Franco kernel? If I really need to switch kernels I will in order for people to actually hear me on a call, but I'd much prefer Franco

So I actually tried using that kernel and and for whatever reason with my current ROM it kept crashing System UI so that's a no go. I have volume mic gain at 15 in the Franco Kernel app and people still say I'm far away. This is the only freaking issue I have with the phone.

Hello
I got one Nexus One with last oficial update.
When I used the audio cable or the bluetooth the sound is OK, but when I use the phone directly on my ear, the sound is too low... Can anyone help???
cyanogen ROM has the audio boost which makes a world of difference. you really need to just flash a kernel with the audio hack enabled.
But is this a normal problem from Nexus One? Or it´s better to send it to warranty?

Its normal for most of us. I need a ROM/Kernel with the Audio Boost too, but some people say they don't.
I have the same issue since I picked mine up when froyo came out. I deal with it since i don't make many calls. If it is too loud to hear a call I just use speaker phone (maybe adjust the volume and hold it backwards up to my ear even). Bluetooth and speaker phone seem fine. However I am considering loading Cyanogenmod 7 once there is a final build.
You can use the DSP Manager and boost treble, HTC doesn't like bass like nokia

its basically normal. just about all HTC phones come with audio that is too low out of the box. the audio boost hack originally made it so loud that over 50% volume would blow out your ear hole. then they lowered it slightly to make it about perfect.
stock volume will always be low and there's nothing you can do about it without installing the kernel with audio boost.
Many thanks to all!
I will use a cable audio, its the best....
Regards!
Can anyone suggest any 'good' solution? kernel or otherwise to fix this $#@$# 'bug' of low in-call volume in Nexus One??
Would really appreciate all the help!
Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing problems with the volume of my microphone when I'm in a call.
The persons at the other end of the call can only hear me very silent.
The problems are only exists with the standart phone app, when I'm using a third party app (like sipdroid) my volume is fine...
I'm using Cyanogen 7.0.3 on my Nexus One
Is there a fix for this Problem?
With the stock ROM I don't have this problems but I need a ROM with trackball wake because my power button fails.
I can't RMA my Phone to HTC right now, because I'll be not at home in the next three weeks. Therefore I need my mobile phone with me.
I'd use an other ROM which has TB wake support and no microphone issues but at a quick glance through the forums I couldn't find a suiting one.
Thanks for your efforts to help me
hey, i have a similar problem but i noticed that using different kernel affect the microphone. I'm a noob to this so im not entirely sure if kernel is related to microphone.
Well basically im running miui rom 1.5.6 right now and i was using redstar kernel 38.4 and then i upgraded it to redstar kernel 38.5. Then i called my girlfriend and she could barely hear me. Then i reverted back to 38.4 and she hears me now much louder but not the clarity isn't as good.
You using DT a2sd by any chance?
Damn, my phone froze today at work and I had to pull the battery.
Now I can't power it on again due to the not working power button...
Battery trick doesn't work either.
So I guess I have to take the bitter pill and RMA it right now.
Holy sucks! What's the battery trick...just incase.

If people hear you very quiet - look up the mod to disable noise cancellation. If the problem will disappear with noise cancellation disabled - it means your 2nd mic is faulty and needs replacement.

Nope, people hear me well. Its that I cannot hear well. Specially in traffic, I usually tell them that I shall call them back
Any help?
Look up Gingerbread volume control app in Development forum. It can override the system settings and make the volume much louder than the maximum stock, AFAIK.
Thanks, but this app is not working for everyone AFAIK.
[SOLUTION]
Use +9dB as maximum boost (this is now the set default in the Note as Supercurio has found +10.5dB seems to cause headset detection confusion with some headsets).
Wondering if anyone else is having a problem where the system media volume periodically drops back with Voodoo LOUDER running? I note the problem seems to be worse when using line-out rather than just headsets?
I'm on Rocket ROM V15, Abyss-Kernel 2.8, KL7 with KL7 modem.
I've so far tried the following to fix it to no avail:
Thought it might be PowerAMP related, so tried all manner of permutations in PowerAMP settings, disabling headset automatic activities, advanced audio engine settings etc --> no success
Tried other music players - stock and Ubermusic --> no success
Different headsets --> no luck
Using the Voodoo LOUDER slider instead of the Smart Boost --> same problem
Given none of that works I'm wondering if this is a kernel issue (even though the whole compatibility check runs fine). If no one has any better suggestions I'll flash another kernel this evening and see if that helps.
I have contacted Supercurio, but thought someone else here might have already cracked this one for me?
If you disable "Smart Boost" in Voodoo LOUDER, the app loose any ability to affect volume at all.
I'm not sure in your report if it's what you meant by "instead of smart boost"
Oh really? Because when I turn that off I can still increase the volume with the slider option, so because of that I thought you could either have slider or use the Smart Boost. Regardless, it's not working with Smart Boost either!

Hi NZtechfreak! I've seen your awesome videos on Youtube!
Anyways, I've been considering purchasing Voodoo because of the terrible sound quality on my GNote, but was wondering if you managed to correct the issue.
Also, a side question, does Voodoo improve the in-call volume when using the 3.5mm jack? I ask because it is TERRIBLY low when I have it connected to the AUX in my car.
Thanks
I just installed it on mt E4GT and when i max out the volume is causes my music player to stop. Whether its on smart boost or not

The issue was that on max boost the headset detection gets confused, Supercurio mentioned this in his latest update. The max boost on the Note is now +9dB and it works perfectly (still more than sufficient). Hasn't made a noticeable difference to in-call volume in the car (I use mine in the same way you do). Presumably only affects media volume.
Thanks for the update
The big question is, is it worth the $15?

What is $15?
Edit: ah, lol New Zealand dollars, I was really wondering what it was about & checked.
Edit2
Wait.. seems like a bug.
Edit3
Fixed.
Any plans of solve the issue that when you up to 10.5dB all music playing stop?
Hope that you are working on this because if not i dont understand why you still keep the 10.5dB option in the app if it doesnt work :S
Or how about going beyond +3db for ICS? It doesn't do squat anymore
Does not work with Cm. Damn...

Hi, I was just curious, is it possible with custom kernel to get louder incall volume. On stock kernel the volume is pretty low, much lower than other phones. Tried it on official rom, and several custom roms. Always same results, I mean, I can hear the person I'm talking to but only in a quiet environment, the volume is on max setting of course. Didn't really want to play with kernel but if it could help with the issue I would take the chance.

It's obvious that you have a damaged speaker.. Plug in earphones and see if it's still low..
u should clean Speaker hole(small in left) with pin then it will blow sound. . same problem was with me after clean or very small hole on left site of speaker section now i can hear well
Hi All,
Ive been running Cyanogen Mod for sometime now and its frustrating as the External Speaker volume is low, I go back to stock and its normal.
Ive tried a few apps that ive read in threads, but yet haven't been able to fix this, Does any have any info on how to get this back to normal volume, Music is a little low, but ring tones are very low compared to stock.
Cheers

Latest CM or PA have the low call volume fixed, also using Yank555 kernal with the re-vamped boeffla engine solves any low call issues.

Volume fix walk-thru
Hi,
I've tried and tried using different custom ROMs on my S 3 GT-I9305, but I still have the same problem.
I'm getting extremely low inbound call volumes - I can't hear the other caller speak. It's especially bad when I try call-recording, which I need for my job. I've tried volume fix apps too, they don't work.
I understand Foxhound has a built-in call recorder for their S4 rom, but that won't install on my phone right?
So I'm left with trying to fix my favourite ROM, LiquidSmooth 2.9.
Can someone please walk me thru getting the right kernal, installing it and any other steps?
Hi,
I'm running the PAC man rom on my I9305 and I had the same issue with sound. I flashed the AGNi kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2339848) and now no more sound issue and some interesting tweaks to improve battery life.
