Low volume on calls
 

is there any tweak to increase the volume for phone calls - I can hardly hear the caller - its fine when I use the speaker but its not very privat ;-)

I'm very sorry, but did you tried to clean it with single drop of alcohol and compressed air stream?

Re: Low volume on calls
 

I never used it for calling before yesterday nor was it ever outside my home before ;-) so its clean like on the first day...

ok did a reset - now the volume is higher but still lower than on the n9 ...

Hi there, got a Jolla C I was now trying to use as a phone, but the volume during the calls is amazingly low.

Any hints?

Tried a few solutions from together.jolla.com, namely trying to increase the volume via PulseAudio with its ctl util, but I got errors that it couldn't connect to a local server (I assume the pulseaudio server).

Someone tried and fixed it already?
that'd be appreciated.

Thanks!

I don't know about Jolla C, but on my Jolla 1 the volume has always been very low. Making a call in a noisy environment like a busy street is nigh impossible.

You can try:
or my patch for this:

My Nexus 5 also has a much lower call volume in sailfish than in android. Media volume is the same across both OS's, though.

@taixzo, interesting.
@Schturman, 150%? Seriously? I need at least 400% to make a difference.

Re: Low volume on calls
 

well, it's very easy to push PA to 150% :D

Re: Low volume on calls
 

Yes. But easy != useful ;)

Re: Low volume on calls
 

Change 150 to what you want, but don't be surprised is your speaker will stop to work :D

Re: Low volume on calls
 

Out of curiosity, is there a way to change the volume for a specific application? pactl changes it for all apps (at least, all running through PortAudio, which is usually all of them), but I would like to be able to lower the volume on a particular app.

Re: Low volume on calls
 

pactl is able to do this. First list all playing applications (sink-inputs) and identify the ID like described here: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questi...mixer-or-pactl then use pactl set-sink-input-volume [ID] [volume]%

Here an example:

//EDIT: For app developers: All of this should be doable via dbus, too. Just read into PulseAudios APIs.
