[FIX] Experiencing low sound in calls ? - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

I am experiencing low sound in calls after latest update 4.0.3 . Any fixes available ?

Guys after looking into some threads , i got something useful . my call volume is fixed .
Download BuildProp Editor by JRummy on the Google Play Store and open it up. Tap on the “pencil” icon in the top right to bring up the manual editing mode. Scroll all the way to the bottom and add either of the build.prop lines mentioned above and set it equal to the number of volume steps you want to have. For example, entering these two commands at the end will double the number of in-call volume steps and media volume steps respectively.
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=14
ro.config.media_vol_steps=30
Once you’ve entered these commands, reboot your phone. If it worked, you should now have as many volume steps as you specified in build.prop.

Thanks for this post. I suffered from annoying low in call volume on my previous device so know how irritating it can be, especially when making calls in busy areas, like a road with heavy traffic. I've only had this device for a few days and since getting it have been away in an area where there is next to no mobile signal so I have not taken or received any calls.
Question
What you have written would seem to suggest that the prop changes would increase the number of volume steps that are applicable for each volume type, but, does does this really alter the actual maximum volume setting? if not then I can't see that this is a fix.

The code is like this
// Initialize volume
int maxVolume = SystemProperties.getInt("ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps",
MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_VOICE_CALL]);
if (maxVolume != MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_VOICE_CALL]) {
MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_VOICE_CALL] = maxVolume;
AudioSystem.DEFAULT_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_VOICE_CALL] = (maxVolume * 3) / 4;
}
maxVolume = SystemProperties.getInt("ro.config.media_vol_steps",
MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_MUSIC]);
if (maxVolume != MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_MUSIC]) {
MAX_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_MUSIC] = maxVolume;
AudioSystem.DEFAULT_STREAM_VOLUME[AudioSystem.STREAM_MUSIC] = (maxVolume * 3) / 4;
}
i think it alters the max volume but i am not sure but my low call volume is definitely fixed . I just added the lines which i mentioned above.

Testing on my Mi A1, now I have to wait to receive a call. (*Insert a Forever Alone Meme)
EDIT: It changes the number of incremental steps, but the maximum volume remains the same.

Does this fix work on latest OxygenOS betas? There was a TWRP flashable zip before but not sure if it works still.

just clean the speaker grill.

Already cleant the speaker grill. Need the volume to be boosted

Flashable zip worked on nugatt but not work in oreo since tasha mixer files are in different localization, you need to manual change values in tasha_miser_paths.xml in system/vendor/etc root folder.
I can send you my edited file.

magisk module named "low in call volume fix oneplus 3/3t for RR" not sure if the name is exactly the same but just type "low in" and the module should show up. Tho its for RR i use it on beta 25 and the issue is fixed ! :good:

Increasing the volume steps in root\System\build.prop didn't change the output volume for me.
I solve this issue by modifying a single parameter in "root"\system\vendor\etc\mixer_paths_mtp.xml
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/how-to-modify-ear-speaker-volume-mi-a1-t3779866)
Best regards.

Fixed it by editing the RX0-RX8 Digital Volume values from 84 to 94 in mixer_paths_tasha.xml file found in /vendor/etc folder and it works! Now I keep the call volume 1-2 levels lower than full. Tried it on OxygenOS beta 24. Thanks for the help everyone.

[Q] Self changing volume, but why?

The volume decreasing itself from time to time, I don't know why. I fixed the volume at %100 in settings and also I use srs wowhd to get a louder voice. But sometimes it goes down and it really drives me crazy. How can I lock the volume at maximum? Could it be low battery resulted issue? By the way, I don't have any settings saved in memory card (xda uc or something else like that).
Can you tell me the values under:
HKCU\\ControlPanel\Notifications\ShellOverrides\

Sure, just like seen below.
First take a full backup. Then:
Change the values, which contains word "Volume", to 4294967295 (Dec). All others, set them to "0".

Minimum Volume too high

Hey guys,
well known topic, but I'm still left with questions.
I go with ARHD and Sense (Android 4.3 and Sense 5.5 atm, 4.4 KK might be soon) and the minimum volume levels are too loud IMHO (regarding my taste), therefore I want to readjust them or have to increase the number of volume steps as this also redefines the array and the fraction of each step.
I use ZeroInfinity's PureXAudio (now ProjectEra) if that counts. Also Xposed framework.
I'm aware of Volume steps mod (HTC One) and I checked {Mod & Tuto} 30/45 Steps Volume Project (framework.jar), so I might do editing hex-values soon.
1. can I readjust the volume levels to my needs somewhere, if this is the simpler way: step x [1-15] - level y [0-1] (e.g.) ?
2. does changing the number of steps definitly means changing framework.jar? best file, best approach. If so I will go for it..
3. does sth. has to be taken into account, sth. changed with 4.3 or KK 4.4, or Sense 5.5,.. someone told about the master-volume with 4.2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47668094&postcount=310)?
Thanks for helping !
edit: details
Volume step mods are completely broken in 4.3 and onwards. Jonny has already explained everything you need to know, the master volume is locked at 15 steps of volume, no more no less. Whilst you CAN get 30 steps, you'll only have 15 volume changes meaning the volume will simply go up like this
1-1-2-2-3-3-4-4-5-5-6-6-7-7-8-8-9-9-10-10-11-11-12-12-13-13-14-14-15-15
30 Steps, only 15 volume changes. A shame really
Thx Galactus.
Hmmm, if the known mod is resulting in 15 levels at the end there must be some different, maybe additional place (lines in the code, file,..) where to modify an array, a number, levels,..
We have to find the hole where to put the dynamite..

Let’s face it. Even at max volume, sometimes the speaker on your phone just isn’t loud enough (Yes, I’m looking at you Nexus 5). *However, you*could digitally raise the maximum volume that the speaker allows itself to go to. This will require a rooted android device and could run the risk of damaging your speakers if you go too high, so be warned.
What You will Need:
A rooted Android DeviceES File Explorer
Step 1: Mounting the System
Open up ES file explorer and enable the root explorer. *Then tap on the root explorer tab and a menu will pop up. *Select the Mount R/W tab and mount both*system and /*as*r/w.
[http://www]*[http://www]*[http://www]
Step 2: Locating the mixer_paths.xml
Now, navigate to*/System/etc*and open up the*mixer_paths.xml*with ES note editor. *Before you start making changes, go up into the settings and select*edit*on the file.
[http://www]
Step 3: Changing the Speaker Volume
To change the speaker volume, look for the line*RX7 Digital Volume*under the*Path name= Speaker*and change the value to whatever you desire. *(Going over 95 has the potential of blowing your speaker though).
[http://www]
Step 4: Changing the Headphone Volume
To change the headphone volume, *look for the lines:
<ctl name=”HPHL Volume” /
<ctl name=”HPHR Volume” />
Change the values to 20. *Don’t go beyond 20. *You can also change the RX1 and RX2 values to something like 85, once again, don’t go beyond 95.
[http://www]
Afterwards,*reboot*and you should notice an increase in volume. *Feel free to play around with the other volume settings found in the mixer_paths.xml, just make sure you have a backup and not to blow out your speaker! Android Boost speaker volume success!

Changing volume steps

Hi,
Can anyone help?
Im using a variant of stock, and would like to change the volume steps to fit with the steps in MacroDroid (30 steps).
I known you can do it on AOSP ROMs, but was wondering if there was a file I could edit manually if no app is available?
Thanks!

And if there was a way to set min volume to anything < 14% that'd be great too
This was easy to achieve back in the Exposed days, but not anymore. Maybe there's a Magisk module to achieve this, haven't tried Magisk on LOS so can't tell.
In case you have root, add the following line to your build.prop with build prop editor from the play store:
ro.config.media_vol_steps=30
Edit; And reboot
Also looking for this but tried this setting and there seems to be no difference?
Edit: I am trying to change the ringtone volume, perhaps that's a different setting than media_vol?
I Agree the ring and notification volume need more steps, the lowest it too loud. Or add increasing volume for both at least.

Is it possible to separate ringtone and notification control volume ?

Hi,
I am about to buy a brand new N7P. But, as it's under andrdoid one, i would like to know if there are the same issues as for others android one phones.
Indeed, i had a xiaomi mi A2 for 2 days, i returned it because the control volume for notification (sms, whatsapp...) cannot be separated with ringtone (when you receive a phone call). It's the same setting, you can only put different the sound for both, but you cannot change the volume separately.
Moreover, even at minimum level of volume, it's was way to loud, really too loud. I tried to change this with third party apps, without success.
Does the Nokia 7 Plus has the same issue as it's under android one ? I did not find any help on the manual we can see on the nokia website
Thanks for your help

Yes the "issue" is present, just one setting for ringtone volume
At the minute this is an Android Problem. However if you're willing to wait for the official Android Pie (9.0) to drop this will fix the issue.
If you can't wait you can always install the beta. But the beta WILL wipe your device
Unlock bootloader
Magisk Root
Xposed systemless + latest 8.1SDK
Ringer & Notification Unlink module from playstore.
And final result:

Thanks for your input, maybe i will try this solution.
But, what about the minimum volume level ? It it possible to set it less loud too ? I mean, the minimum level is, for my preference, too much loud, so can we adjust it more accurately ?
Thanks
For that i saw somewhere another xposed mod - volume steps or similar.
