Google Voice play back volume low

I believe I've always had this issue on all three of my Android phones. When I go into Google Voice to play back my messages, the volume is always on max, but the playback is still very low. Across all phones (two captivates and a cliq), volume is low regardless of ear-piece or speaker.
Is there any way to increase this volume?
Thank you to all the ultra wise for all your assistance and hard work to make android what it is today.

The Google Voice default is to playback through earphone rather than speaker phone. Hold the phone to your ear or change it to playback through speaker phone.

Yes I know this. As I explained above, the volume is low when played back through ANY speaker on the phone. This could be indicative of a software limit on the app maybe...
The volume is so low that unless I'm in an almost silent environment, its difficult to hear anything. The transcriptions aren't quite helpful just yet, but I've noticed them getting better.

I had this problem today. The message was SO quiet that I could not make out what my friend was saying.
Google Voice needs a few tweaks, like the option to switch to speaker on the fly.

I understand you wouldn't want to set it to playback on the speaker by default, but if you hit the button to the right of the seek bar while its playing, it switches to the speaker phone. Still a bit difficult to hear. even if you put it directly on your ear.
I would say one of the best things about this phone is that you can hit speaker phone and flip it over and use it as a regular phone. That way you have a SUPER loud ear-peace. Good for clubs/concerts/loud places... but not loud enough for my damn messages

[Q] Low in-call volume

Hi,
I'm new to the HTC 7 Pro, I only have the phone for a week. I like it but I have an annoying problem with it: the in-call volume is too low. It's OK for the Office/Home environment, but it's barely audible in a crowd... Of course the in call volume is set to the max and I tried the registry settings to increase it to 15 but it only changed the volume steps, not the volume level...
Any idea to fix it? Can I fix it by flashing different/older radio firware?
TIA!

If you don't mind being overheard... speakerphone on low on your ear is a physical fix.

Half jokingly I came up with the same idea But I haven't tried it. I'll try to take the phone apart and clean the speakers but I have to collect some braveness first...

I wish I had that problem. The ear speakers are a bit loud for me. what's worse is at minimum volume, it's impossible to hold a conversation through headphones; Its so freaking LOUD!!

Moto G Call Sound Help

Hi, I have had my Moto G since Christmas, I am having some problems with the sound on calls.
When I make or receive a call the sound is very quiet and even on loud speaker I can only just hear the person talking. I have turned up the sound all the way during calls but nothing. I have looked at a few settings but nothing seems to help.
My volume control is set to max for everything and the only way I have found for the volume to come back is to turn my phone on and off but after one call its gone back really quiet again. My speakers work fine for music and games it just seems to be during calls.
Any ideas that could help me would be very appreciated,
Thanks, Kim.

In my phone the problem showed up after the KitKat update. While we wait for Motorola to fix this (hopefully), there is a workaround: just lower and raise volume during the call. Works like a charm.

Plausible to get Notification sounds from both speakers?

Anyone figure out how to use both speakers for notifications? It's driving me crazy having only 1 speaker play the sound when I receive a text. I don't understand why they play from both speakers when you select a notification sound/ringtone, but it only plays from one speaker when you actually get a text/notification.

Yes, however I am sure root will be required. There is a ring tone from both speakers thread under android development

Not only does it just play from one speaker, it's extremely quiet.
With the volume all the way up, it's probably equal to my M8 being 2 clicks up.
Between the volume and the vibration being weak, I could definitely miss a text/email.
Although I don't mind the vibration, the vibrate on my M8 would scare me at night on my wood night stand. Lol

Tell me about it, my dads M8 is like a banshee. My dad left his M8 in a drawer one floor up, and you could hear the vibration one floor down, though faint at that distance.
For me the Z3 is loud enough, even the vibration though a stark contrast to the M8.

I've found that finding the right ringtones and notifications are the way to go. I have loud tones selected, ie. loud sounding sounds, and they are plenty loud enough. The quality on the other hand would be much better through both speakers.

Xperia z3 Speaker Issue

Hello, first of all my english isn't good enough to describe all i want to say, i hope it's enough understandable.
My device xperia z3 (D6653) has a problem on speaker with incoming calls and activate loudspeaker phone during phone calls, the ringtone is too low.. as well as my speaker in phone calls.. the music is working fine and loud as it should be (both speaker work, top and bottom) but when somebody call me the phone rings too low even though every volume level is set to max! it's even more weird because when i go to "phone ringtone" like i would to set a new one, when i play the ringtone i already put or any another one the volume is normal as it should be and both speakers work.. but the problem still goes on when somebody calls me the bottom speaker only working and the phone sound is too low to hear of course as i mentioned when i active phone speaker during a call the bottom speaker still only working and i can't hear the caller while no sound or noise near me (quite place)!!
please help me, i am really very very disappointed.. i am missing most of my incoming calls because of this, and i can't hear the when loudspeaker is activated in calls..
P.S: the phone sound overall become a bit low but pretty noticeable after lollipop update or whatever i don't know, it was more louder when i bought it new, btw the speaker issue is remained the same when it was new though..
Build number; 23.4.A.0.546
Thanks.

please anybody help me!! i need a new software to solve this problem.. i can barely hear my phone ringing or even loudspeaker during calls...
