Decrease minimum in-call volume - Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi
Is there a way to decrease the minimum in-call volume? The minimum level is too loud for me and everybody at work hear my conversation I'm on RR Rom if that helps.

Same Problem here. Last AEX. Minimum Sound in calls much to loud!
Z2 Pro
Update
I self found the solution. In sound settings increase steps for call to 15.

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

In Call Volume very low?

Just got the Z3 Compact from eBay. Brand new D5803 on AT &T. Notice very, very low call volume. Anyone else notice? Any Apps that can help increase volume? I searched but don't see any other posts about this.
Thanks all.
I've found the in call volume outstanding. But speakerphone vol is poor. UK spec. Anyway to boost speakerphone vol?
Thanks techguyone! I realized I had a bad screen protector blocking a portion of the speaker...I will test the external speaker and see if I can find any info or apps that help increase external speaker volume. Thanks again for your reply

Were you able to solve the incall volume issue. I have the same phone and the incall volume is so low, it is absurd. I talked to support and they gave me instructions to reinstall the operating syustem. It was a wast of time as the incall volume is still the same.

Faulty phone? I'm on .77 firmware and sometimes the incall volume is so loud, that my ears bleed :laugh:

Very poor volume of the main speaker when calling (a.k.a. speakerphone)

The speaker volume is normal when watching videos or listening to music, but when i toggle the speakerphone when calling - the volume is ULTRA quiet even in the max setting (from a distance the volume is practically the same as in the earpiece).
Any thoughts or additional questions that are necessary for you to help me?

I agree it's so low.... But I know the phone has a loud speaker. When I listen to music it's super loud.

Yeah I do
well, maybe a hint could be that i restore apps from Titanium, but how user apps may be connected to system volume???
found the reason. it was that i changed the DPI via ro.sf.lcd_density=400

It just drives us CRAZY!! and this problem is really SERIOUS! you just can't use your headphone during a voicecall....
I have tried 4+ different headphones for testing already, no luck. The issue still persisted!
THERE is also NO PROBLEM with these headphones and I'm actually not a newbie to android so I know I've already set the VOICE VOLUME to MINIMUM !
If you never start a voice call with headphone before (not including bluetooth headphones), just help me to do a test!
1. plug-in your headphone
2. start a voice call to test whether the volume is extremely loud or not with voice volume set to minimum.

I would appreciate it if you could help me to test it and I really need you guys help to raise their awaerness... THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I have reported the issue to ONEPLUS a half month ago already.
I also believe I am not the only one facing this problem, and this is also confirmed by other oneplus 5 users in community.
I hope users who is facing exactly same problem like me can reply to these two threads, urging ONEPLUS to speed up the progress!

Yes, same problem, loud call volume on headsets
Yes, noticed it on my very first call. Couldn't reduce the volume enough to be comfortable.
I also noticed that there are far fewer levels of volume available on the phone volume slider compared to for media volumes etc.
I needs a software fix or could someone suggest a volume control app or alternate dialer app?
I will look at the other threads / oneplus forum and comment there too, Cheers, S
I feel its OK and normal. Don't hear it too loud.
Same problem here, using the ear buds bought from OnePlus. Can barely put them in ear for calls. Extremely frustrating considering we can't edit the step sizes in OOS either.
Video call today with Hangouts with my wife and it almost blew my ears!
I instantly pull of the earphones from my ears.
What is even more disturbing is that the volume controls don't change ANYTHING. All reduced to lowest and the volume doesn't change a bit...
What is wrong with OnePlus?
they said it will be fixed on next OTA

yea i know, they informed me on 4th Sep
and i started to check ota update EVERY SINGLE DAY from 4th Sep
And now it is already 19th tho
I haven't installed the new 4.5.11 ROM.
Was this problem addressed? I didn't see it in the changelog..
Has anyone tested it?
Brand new OnePlus 5T. Used headphones on a call. nearly blew my ears off. Anyone know of an app to override the settings and make the volume lower?
All the people having this issue, are you using the EQ when listening to music and possibly not disabling that on the voice call?
I've never listed to music on the phone. I have an app for audiobooks but no EQ with it.
Solution for call headphone so loud
Hello,
The only one solution that I have found, is to root the phone with in order to install the Custom Kernel : Boeffla-Kernel
The App of this kernel let you reduce the sound of the headphone output so in communication with headphone you will have a volume as low as you want.
May be that others custom Kernel permits to do that,
Enjoy,

is that real?
i means the "VOICE Volume" not the "MEDIA Volume"
Can Boeffla-Kernel modify VOICE Volume?
Also Voice Media

Mixer_paths.xml explanation

Hey everyone,
I'm running AEX 6 on my Zuk Z2 Pro, but I'm noticing that during calls, especially with Skype and WhatsApp, the volume is too high. I have them already on their minimum.
I searched the net and found out that I can modify the mixer_paths _tasha.xml file to reduce the volume. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out what all the "paths=" mean and which ones I have to edit to reduce the volume.
I need to reduce:
1) In call speaker volume
2) In call headphone volume
The normal volumes, ex. when listening to music, are perfect, just in-call the volumes rise automatically even if android says they are low.
I'm looking forward for your help ?

im also trying, in oreo this is impossible i think, system wont react on any values i put in mixer path.
in nougat roms i just edit rx7 value, but in oreo this wont work.
you can also try some kernel editor, and there should be some section to adjust sound levels if kernel alows for that.
