MickH 211 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 For some reason my call volume is too high. Even though I have it set to zero in settings I can still hear the caller, even when I take the phone away from my ear. Loudspeaker is definitely off. At the setting in the screenshot it's almost unbearable. I'm sure I haven't overlooked anything in settings. Anyone else experienced this and how did you tackle it? Thankees😁 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slion 1,201 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Yes, it is a known issue. I doubt there is a workaround. Just have to wait and hope for a fix I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FlyingAntero 869 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 This issue is fixed in the latest OTA-update.

MickH 211 Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 It hadn't fixed the issue on mine which is why I posted here. Didn't know there was another thread on the same issue, nothing came up in the suggestions when I was typing the topic title. Sorry FlyingAntero Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PC_ 61 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I don't have this issue with the phone applications but I do with WhatsApp calling. I believe I am on the "suspended" OTA update. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hook 2,972 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Something odd going on. I'm on the suspended update (20200304) and I still have the issue, It was solved by the nice little volume control app mentioned by @FlyingAntero above. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I greatly reduced the volume slider for voice call. It does not seem to affect how well others can hear me on their end. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I installed the latest OTA (2020-03-06) and still cannot adjust the call volume in Emerald Diler or Signal. The caller volume is fixed to "crazy loud" and I have to hold the phone away from my ear. When I go to Settings to adjust the call volume, my phone plays the alarm chime in different volumes, without any effect on the call volume. In GravityBox, I activated all volume adjustment sliders, seven in total (!), and none affects the call volume. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spam71 55 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 It's much better on current LineageOS. Headphones output is still much too loud, but at last earpiece is usable. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel.schaaaf 177 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) I did some more testing, thanks to having numerous home office meetings these days :-) The call volume adjustment does in fact work do something. To me it seems to adjust the volume between 60 and 80%. Obviously, its not as noisy as before, but it still won't adjust below 60%. And missing a setting above 80% proved to be an issue during a conference call, when I could barely hear anything. I also noticed that the phone speaker struggled a lot with low frequencies. This made things much worse and should be taken care of by an equaliser. Human (male) voices do not transmit information below 80 to 100 Hz. There is something beeping in the background as well. I guess the audio circuit picks up interference from the modem/antennas. Although, it sounds as if the beeping comes from "behind" the phone speaker, and not the speaker itself.

daniel.schaaaf 177 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Any news on this topic? I found out today, that the caller volume in Signal is only too loud (and not adjustable) when I call someone. When I receive a Signal call, the caller volume is fine. I don't know yet if the phone app is similar ... Wow, this issue is so annoying, it makes me (almost) hate my Pro1 at times ... 😞 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
