My major concern is that very often the person on the other end of the line will say "You sound like you're in a tunnel".
Is there a way to boost the mic sensitivity?
(Searched, but found nothing about the "in-call volume")
What ROM are you using?
And this should be moved to Q&A. Any mods can help?

Hi All,
I have the same low mic level problem, the other party can hardly listen me.
I have tried different Radios but the result is same.
Currently I am using CM10.1 by albino, previously have used Viper and Elegancia and the problem is same on all of these roms.
Any help/ suggestion ?
Thanks,
AliDSD
Hi,
this thread is old but I have a similar problem with the mic volume too low. Has anyone found a solution to boost the mic volume? I'm using cyanogenmod 11 (android 4.4.4) by sultanxda.

Hi all,
Ever since I ugraded to 4.2.1, the volume+ app has had no effect on the frustratingly low volume of the tablet (music effects is set to volume+ in settings). I've been using earphones mostly as I can never make out anything coming out of the speakers when there is minimal noise around. I have a rooted tablet with stock firmware. Is there anything that can be done to significantly increase the volume?
Thanks.

Have you looked into installing Sony xLoud & ClearAudio+ using PimpMyRom? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908269)
I'm running 4.1.1 and this mod made my tablet much louder. I believe this mod also works for 4.2.1.

Did you try enabling the root features in volume+?

Yeah, I tried "Patch audio_effects" and it's still the same.

Also it seems that I need to be unlocked to run Sony xLoud & ClearAudio+ on PimpMyRom.

That's too bad. The first post in PimpMyRom thread stated that all you needed was a rooted device so I thought it might work for you. Are you open to unlocking the device? In my experience, the benefits of unlocking and installing custom ROM/mods (including increased volume) have been totally worth the loss of warranty.

Almost everyone says that - except those whose tablets broke.

Very true!
But I think my tablet would have been left unused for most parts if not for the increased performance gained from unlocking it. Wonder what the failure rate has been so far.

I'm just sticking with 4.1 locked for now, under warranty, and Volume+ even works without root enhancement just great. I've got to turn it down so I don't blow out the speakers! I'm not seeing any reason to "upgrade" personally and I predict I will use my warranty before the year is over. CROMIX can wait. I've got this thing pretty dialed in and I'm satisfied with its performance and reliability rooted and locked on stock ROM. Can't wait to see what it really can do thought on custom ROM but not so bad that I want to pay Asus for repairs in exchange. To each their own.

Hey, in case you're still looking for a way to increase volume, I just found a fantastic app that can drastically increase volume on 4.2.1. It's called Music Volume EQ. I set the volume on it to 6/15 and the tablet sounds really loud. When I was playing with it the volume got so loud I was afraid of blowing the speakers. The equalizer on it works quite well, too.
You can autostart the app on boot and it'll remember your settings so once it's configured to your liking, you can just forget about it and enjoy the loud volume.
Whats up XDA !!!
Im guessing im not only one with this issue. I have flashed Leo King 4.0.4 rom, the rom is stable, fast and smooth but as i said in the title, the volume on the speaker and on the headset is too loud, i tried with eq in awesome beats but it doesnt take any good results, i also tried to flash tytungs kernel but then phone stuck at 123456 go,go,go so i flashed the rom again, i dont know what to do, is there any way to change the power of max volume? Any help will be much appreciated!
As of yesterday, my earpiece has started to crackle or pop during calls. I'm running Franco Kernel r55 and there is no gain or volume boost on the earpiece. I'm wondering if the speaker could have gone bad?

Its possible but before we set on it beinng a hardware issue I would change kernels 1st as it may be a kernel bug. Stock kernel preferablely just sowe can eliminate it being a kernel bug.

I've attempted changing kernels and the issue persists.
Hey guys, Ive been really disappointed how low the maximum headphone sound is, especially if you are using equalizer in Spotify. Is there any way to increase it without installing custom rom or kernel? My phone is rooted. On galaxy note 2 I used to modify config_gain or something like that, can I do the same on S6? If so, how? Thanks in advance.
Install hacker kernel which has sound mod. The difference is day and night for me. Awesome sound. Gets fairly loud also slightly emphasizes lower frequencies I feel.

Where can you get the kernel?

Have you tried going to Sounds and Vibrations > Advanced > and running the adapt sound wizard?
Am I the only one who is facing this issue or anyone else is too?
I have used many ROMs and in every ROM I have the in-call audio very low.
In the settings, I have turned the volume to maximum too
Any help please!
Thanks

I'm using squid kernel. Is it because of that?
or your speaker is demaged. i would flash stock firmware through (m)fastboot to test
