Low Call Volume on Fairphone 4 with /e/ OS – Any Fix?

[Crashkid]

I have a problem with /e/ OS on my Fairphone 4. I installed /e/ OS on the device about a year ago. However, calls are always very quiet. The speaker and Bluetooth headset work fine, but the device itself is way too quiet, even though the volume is set to maximum.

Is there any way to adjust this?

I would be very grateful for any tips.
