System sounds very low
Is there any way of increasing the loudness of system sounds and alert tones?
I've got mine maxed out in settings, but I'm still finding them very quiet. Thankees in advance. |
Re: System sounds very low
Have you checked your ambience settings?

Re: System sounds very low
Same here, esp. the keyboard click sound is waaaaay too low.

Re: System sounds very low
I hope you guys are being sarcastic, because for me they are loud, especially when unlocking the phone :/

I don't think there's anything wrong with the speaker because videos and music play pretty loud. Another problem I have is how do you clear the recent calls list? Haven't found a menu item to do that. If you use delete from within the list it also deletes the number from the contacts list. |
Re: System sounds very low
Solved the problem of not being able to clear your call history. You can't. :(
Someone on Jolla Users asked the same question over there, he's got a year's worth of calls in his history. There's a script to run from x-terminal, but I'm not sure I wanna mess about like that at this stage. I used to run x-term scripts on the N900 but I need to learn a bit more about the Sailfish one. I'm thinking of using mp3 files as ringtones etc as a work around. |

Tried to replicate it just now but the contacts have stayed put. :confused: |
Re: System sounds very low
you seems missed and used delete from contacts, not from calls :D
|
Re: System sounds very low
Maybe, but I'm pretty sure I didn't.

The phone log is stored in /home/nemo/.local/share/commhistory/commhistory.db The contacts in /home/nemo/.local/share/system/privileged/Contacts/qtcontacts-sqlite/contacts.db It's 2 completely different databases, you just cannot change contacts when you modify commhistory. (but if you'd said you deleted your SMS'es accidentally, well, that would be possible. Messages and phone calls are both in same database...) |
Re: System sounds very low
Isn't there a way to 'hack' the volume? It's Linux after all and we can access a lot of files, surely there must be something that controls the volume output...

They are also - at least the default ones - very short and rather unremarkable (for example, a simple "ding!" for an email alert). Fortunately that part can be solved by replacing the tones. |
Re: System sounds very low
pactl set-sink-volume 1 200%
in terminal and then lowering the ringtone sound of my Ambience a bit solved the issue for me. You have to repeat the command after a reboot though but that's a minority for much improved sound IMHO :) (my source for this solution: https://together.jolla.com/question/...an-100-volume/) |

Code:
[Unit] There may be better examples on the forum, or together though, so you could do a search on "ExecStart" or similar. I've not yet had a need to do this, so I may be missing a detail here or there. It shouldn't break anything though, if something's missing, it just won't run. |
Re: System sounds very low
Thanks, I'll try that out later on and let you know if it worked! (or not lol)

Re: System sounds very low
That Quasar MX Pro mentioned in the discussion that Vistaus links to could also be worth a try, but does that work for ringtones or just through the media player?

There's at least one issue with what I suggested. Firstly, the pulseaudio is run under user, so you maybe need to move the unit to user and use the --user option in systemctl. Secondly, I forgot that we need to make sure that the daemon is started first. So we need to add a dependency: Code:
[Unit] I did though, wonder if it was possible to configure pulseaudio to increase the volume at start-up itself, but I've not seen an obvious way to do that, yet. |
Re: System sounds very low
Have you tried this latest one at all Vistaus?
And is this typed straight into terminal (with no other root access commands needed)? Sorry Sailfish terminal seems to be a different animal to Maemo. |
