Speaker phone volume and mic?

I've noticed that the speaker phone volume is not has high as my previous phones. Also, when talking to someone on speaker they have a hard time hearing me. I have to talk close to the phone for them to hear me clearly.
In the past with my Galaxy S 4G, I had no issue with them hearing me or my speaker volume...
Is there anyway to adjust this past its max volume setting?
I have found that when connected to the mobile network, 2g/3g/4g (or whatever other G's decide to pop-up) the incoming and outgoing volume are much greater than when connected to the Wifi calling. The G2x is actually quite loud for me on both speaker and handset modes.
Are you using the Wifi calling or the normal network?
It's not just on the speakerphone. I've used a couple of audio recording apps, and in both of them if I speak in a normal tone of voice with the phone 2-3 feet away, I can barely hear myself in the playback. I'm think there must be a system-wide gain setting that is set incorrectly, but I haven't managed to find it. (Either that or the microphone is just plain awful.)

Microphone problems

Recorded audio is very quiet and sounds muffled. In-call audio is the same, but can be fixed by turning the speakerphone on. People in calls consistently say they can not hear me, and it is solved every time by turning speakerphone on and comes back when speakerphone is turned off. Is a different mic used when speakerphone is on? How can I force the phone to use the speakerphone microphone settings all the time?
HTC warranty services wants the phone for 2 weeks to fix this problem, so if there is anyone who knows how to use the speakerphone microphone all the time, it would be greatly appreciated.

phone call sound problems

This is a rooted nexus 5 using lineageos 14.1 (based on nougat) and I'm having sound problems only during phone calls.
The party I call cannot hear me (I can hear them) unless I turn speaker on. Then they can hear me but the sound is garbled and they hear reverberation picking up their own voices back.
Searching for a solution on the web I found

I changed the build prop they recommended to false and now the other party can hear me fine on (non-speaker) phone calls. ?
But, I still have a problem if I turn my speaker on. When I do that the microphone picks up ambient noise and the other party hears their own conversation back as garbled double sound. If anyone knows how to fix this I would be grateful.
Ideas?
Nobody has any idea how to prevent the mic from picking up and transmitting the phone speaker sound when on speaker phone?
My wife's identical nexus 5 doesn't do this when it's on speaker phone.

Low in-call ear volume; people cannot hear me when using speakerphone

Since May or so, possibly since the May update(I saw another thread about this), I've had incredibly low in call volume unless using speakerphone, headphones, or bluetooth. Even after updating to P.
At the same time, when I use speakerphone, no one can hear me in a call or understand me. However, if using whatsapp or something like that and recording myself, I sound fine on playback.
Any ideas?

sound distortion using whatsapp

hi
just got a new xperia 5. The phone has some really bad audio distortion when video calling with Whatsapp or speaker phone voice calls. It sounds like the audio volume is far too high for the speakers causing lots of crackling and distortion. Its as if a speaker is plugged into an amp that is far too powerful for it. Has anyone else experienced this, or got any suggestions on how to fix it? Or do I need to send the phone back.
I've tried turning off dynamic vibration and dolby atmos, but no difference.
The issue only seems to occur with WhatsApp video or voice calls on speaker phone. It doesn't happen for standard GSM calls even on speaker phone or if playing a recorded message or video through whatsapp. Other apps don't seem to have any problems.
In WhatsApp I can kind of fix the problem by turning the volume down by about 30% but then the speaker volume is a bit too quiet.
