Cellular in-call headphone volume too loud - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Could someone test and confirm if on their Nexus 6 the in-call volume on headphones is extremely loud now even on the lowest volume setting? The problem occurs on cellular calls only - WiFi calls have normal volume. I am on Project Fi. My phone is unrooted and on the latest 7.1.1 stock build (N6F26R) - had the problem with the previous 7.1.1 build as well.
I don't think I have had this problem until recently - I suspect the 7.1.1 builds or a Fi-specific issue. I've been talking to the Fi folks, but they're just giving me the runaround, so I'd like to narrow down the culprit.

Try the app Volume Control Plus of FirestormApps,

Doesn't that app just provide glorified volume controls? I don't see how it would help me lower the volume below the minimum that I can achieve via the standard volume controls.

That doesn't help. ulibube is correct. This app only lowers the volume to the lowest setting currently available. What we are looking for is something that will reduce the volume BELOW that level.
Thanks,

Has anyone found a fix to the BT Volume problem

Sorry if I am beating a dead horse, but I love my Tilt... but hate the low volume on BT...
Nothing yet, there's no reaction from HTC yet....
There is no inherent BT "problem".
My TyTN II's BT volume is perfect. I use the Bluetrek ST1 stereo BT headset which has built in SRS WOW settings and this makes a HUGE difference on volume. So it is headset dependant and not device dependant.
Apply this fix

My volume is fine through my headset...could it just be the Bluetrek?

Using my old K-Jam I had perfect volume control using my cars bluetooth function. Changing to the Kaiser (O2 branded) the volume is terrible and virtually unusable unless you are stationary.
I intend to check this with an HTC branded unit to compare, but there is something not right and I don't believe it is the car.

[Q] Q: Earpiece Volume Setting Increase Mod?

The speaker volume on the phone is great, but sometimes I have a difficult time hearing the conversation through the earpiece, even when turned all the way up. This seems to be worse if I'm driving in a car and there is the road noise in the background. I usually end up turning on the speaker phone but then sometimes that affects the other caller.
Does anyone know if there is a mod that can increase the earpiece volume setting above the built-in settings? Thanks!

The fastest way is to go to settings, call, mark hearing aid. It will amplify in call volume.

Increase 1st Mic Volume

Gentlemen i am experiencing a problem with the normal mic used for normal calls when the phone is next to my ear.
The other side can barely hear me and there is this effect other hear, as if my finger is on the mic while i am talking...
I thought it might be dust or something of that sort, but after all the phone is disproof.
So my question is, is there a way to increase the gain only on the normal MIC? Or has anyone else here experienced it and found a different solution?
I am currently on iHackers 4.1 with doomkernel 21. Will soon update to iHackers 5.1. Also i turned Noise suppression off but it did not fix it.
this is one of z1's fails.
mic is soo terrible.
try disbale a microphone gain suppression for me is little better]\.
.
try disable/enable all of call options.

Question USB DAC problem

Hi,
I am using Xiaomi 12 pro with Meizu HiFi dac usb and in apps like tidal , stock music app or yt the volume is very very low but in Poweramp on output OpenSL ES HiRes with DVC volume is ok but quality is only 24bit/48kHz where should be 32bit/384kHz. Any solutions ?
Is there someone who is using usb dac too ? Do you have any issues?

Solutions for low volume is to change region in device settings for other then EU countries. For example United States . EU has more restricted laws for mobile devices which tell about maximum level of volume.
Problem with lower quality in Poweramp should be solved in next update or another one. Files which app cant read as you can see on screenshot has different localisation then the app think.
If I am wrong please correct me.
sorry for english if it is incorrect
In the EU volume is capped but when you try to adjust it higher than it gives a warning but you can ignore it and adjust it as high as you want. In the Developers Options for BT via the internal DAC you can set itup to your likings but I see no options there for using the USB output.

Question Can't adjust audio balance, is there a fix/app? [SOLVED]

I need to be able to adjust the audio balance (or, if you prefer, the left-right volumes) on my Pixel 7. (One earbud plays half as loud as the other.) But every app I have tried so far (Wavelet and PowerAmp EQ are the only ones with memorable names) fails to be able to do this. They'll generally work in all other functions (EQ, total volume, reverb, etc) but always fail to address the left-right balance.
Is there a magic app I haven't tried? Is there an inbuilt setting I haven't found yet? Or is the Pixel 7/current-Android-version simply incapable?
Thanks in advance. I did search xda and the rest of the world and came up empty.
Try going to settings, accessibility, audio adjustment. There is a L/R slider.
Good luck!

Crap, I know I looked there at least once. Must have skimmed right past it.
That works, but it'll be a pain if I switch to the other earbuds. Don't suppose there's any way to make it quicker to adjust or shortcut to that setting?
ETA: Wait, stop, I just discovered Accesibility Shortcuts are a thing. Never needed anything like this before. Thanks again, OJ!
