Speaker too quiet during calls

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

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.

I opened a ticket because it’s becoming such a problem that sometimes I prefer to use my wife’s phone : Speaker too quiet during calls (#2) · Issues · e / devices / Fairphone 4 / android_hardware_qcom_audio · GitLab

Thanks !

I’ve noticed that, for example, WhatsApp calls and calls via my Bluetooth headset work without any problems. It really only affects the earpiece on my FP4.

Same problem here, even after increasing volume to the max level. Not sure which version started to cause that.

Actually very inconvenient when receiving a call in a loud environment.

Apparently solved in v3.6. v3.6-a14 · e / os / 🚀 Releases · GitLab

Just tried it, in a quiet environment, couldn’t notice any change.

I need to test it in a loud environment.

No change for me too

Don’t get your hopes up. Just installed 3.7 beta 2 on FP4 and its still the same.

I struggle with the same problem and am happy a new ticket was opened up. The way it is for me, I can often not take a call if I’m outside or in a cafe, orreally any place where someone else is talking. It’s unfortunately not a sustainable situation I think and might make me look for solutions in other ROMs eventually. Is there any reason to believe this works better in Lineage?
