Earpiece Volume - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hey, does anyone know how to make the earpiece speaker louder in call...
I'm just a tad deaf after a car accident.
When I had a one plus it was pretty easy to do. But on the note I have no clue
I can't find anything related to earpiece volume on mixer_paths or mixer_gains, so if anyone could help
It would be greatly appreciated

Once you are in a call, there is an "extra volume" icon appears. that should help a bit.
Other than that this should be what you're looking for in Mixer Gains. Probably the "gain-incall_nb-handset" number needs to be increased.

[Q] Low call volume?

I am finding the earpiece volume when listening to anyone really low even at full volume.
Is this a common problem?
Thanks.

I don't have a problem. One thing I'd suggest trying is to shift the phone around against your ear. It's possible that the earpiece speaker isn't lining up with your ear just right...
Not to be that guy but a simple search for volume brings up multiple threads of the same issue. Known problem for some.

How to increase headphone volume

I've been trying to find a guide to increase the volume of the headphones only. Haven't found anything that was useful. So I tried myself playing with the settings in the mixer_paths.xml file.
To increase the headphone volume, change the values under the "headphones" part
HPOUT1 Digital Volume" id="0" value="128"
HPOUT1 Digital Volume" id="1" value="128"
Change the 128 part to whatever you like. I haven't tested going higher than 135 as that is more than loud enough for me!
Take a backup of the mixer_paths.xml before playing with this file. And make you once you have edited it you have the permissions set properly.
Hope that was useful for some of us who like silly loud headphone audio
Great tip!
Do you which field I should edit in order to increase in call volume? It feels rather low sometimes and I know the speaker can handle going higher up.

I haven't tried so I can't really help with that. On my Moto X call volume via the earpiece is very loud already.
does this work for bluetooth audio too? im having issues with my sony sbh20 and style, the volume is really low compared to wired headphones.
EDIT: seems like it's not....

Low call volume

Speakers are great for music or gaming but in call volume is quiet. both the speaker phone and the earpiece volume are too quiet for my liking. Is there any way to make them louder?
im also searching for solution...incall volume is so low
Really nothing? Earpiece and speaker phone call volume is so quiet when listening to Media or gaming it has the loudest most robust speakers of anything I've ever used. Is there a build.prop file I can change?
Mixer_paths! It's that. But which one? Somebody help!
So here's the fix-
Edit your build.prop file line "ro.audio.vibra.ring.vol.idx=5" I changed mine to 8 and reset.
Either the test call I made to my wife was wonky and really loud or volume is greatly increased. Actually had to turn volume down.

Have you made any more test calls, 1 isn't really conclusive
Also, I'm assuming this survives a reboot, correct?
Cheers
Yeah sorry didn't reply back definitely isn't the fix. Not sure why none of the developers here haven't chimed in on this. Fantastic speakers but they're so limited specifically for phone calls. Wtf.
has anyone found a fix for this? call volume is very low.
NOTE: speakers work fine in playing music, videos and playing games.
I have the same issue and I have been checking this thread from time to time to see if anyone had posted a possible fix for this. I hope someone knows how to fix this low call volume.

Question Top earpiece volume is poor

Anyone also finds the top earpiece highest volume is poor?
I can barely hear the conversation if there is a little noise around me...
Upgraded from a galaxy s8
If anyone knows how to fix it would be nice to know...
Thanks
