When I make phone calls using headphones, the volume is painfully loud, even set to the lowest it will go. So loud that I have to move the headphones from my ears. I guess it beats not being able to hear people, but is there a way to turn it down further?
The headphones I use are just regular on ear headphones, plugged into the jack with not extra controls of their own.
Hey, @kats! Did you find any solution? I have the same problem.
I asked here :
Since there is no news, I opened an issue in gitlab https://gitlab.e.foundation/groups/e/-/issues?scope=all&utf8=âś“&state=opened&search=Finer+sound+control
Na, sorry, didn’t. I mean, sort of: I don’t put the headphones on my ears, but on my cheeks. But that’s more of a workaround than a fix, really. 
Any news on this ?
volume step is not precise enough, too loud or too low.
if we can increase the number of steps, could be fine.
I tried to find any app as workaround but no success.
I haven’t tried crappy app on play store.
I’m using GS290 bought on e foundation shop

I have the same painful experience looking quite strange while holding my phone 5cm away from my ear or using the method @kats described above.
My old Nokia phone has the ability to decrease the volume using the volume down button to a zero level doing it at fine levels.
Since I also use a standard Android 11 OS phone that shows the same volume behavior I guess it’s an Android thing rather than an /e/ issue.
Can anyone confirm?
