Why is it that my earpiece volume is incredibly low? I can barely hear the one I'm talking to on phone and it's has been like this since I first installed MiniCM beta2.
You should rather move this issue to general or Q & A

Have you checked volume levels in settings? I don't have that problem..
when I'm in a call I have to hold the phone away from my ear cause its so freaking loud.. even if i adjust the volume I can't even tell a difference.. what can I do?

Lol, you must be the first to report that. Most users say in-call volume is average or even too low. Mine i'd say is average. I wish it was louder on my device

OP, maybe u pressed microphone by accident??
Hey guys
does any of you know if there is a way to reduce the loudness of the speaker? cause when im phoning via speaker it is too loud eventhough i set the volume to a minimum.
Have you tried lowering the volume with the volume key when you are in call. I think it works.

Yeah sorry that'S what i meant by "set to a minimum"
Well the only things I can thing of is partially covering the speaker with your hand while holding it, or even covering part of it with some sticky tape. I haven't heard of or seen an app which could lower the volume below minimum.

so the volume on ics is too loud. volume setting 1 above silent is about volume 3 on gb, which sucks, because I keep my volume on at night and on gb it wouldn't wake me but ics is so blaring that it does.
ichecked an app, it says step one is 24%... so it goes up from silent to 24%. that's ridiculously stupid. it should have steps of like 10,15,then 24...but alas, htc is retarded and always messes simple **** up.
so I bought an app that let's you fine tune it.. great.. and you can set profiles.. awesome.. only problem is the phone randomly for no reason resets the volume back to step 1 at 24% whenever it wants.
is there any dev that could create a mod that has lower volume steps like mentioned? like starting at 10,then 15, then 24 and so forth?

See, I'm completely opposite of you. I would like the volume to be much higher than it is now, because at full volume in a moderately noisy environment I can't hear the thing ring. It's highest setting is unbelievably low...

No offense but wouldn't it be easier to just put the phone on silent if the whole idea is to not have it wake you up? That's what I do. The alarm still sounds on silent mode and that's the only thing I need to hear while I'm sleeping.

no, because i need to hear if my phone rings. notifications are low, and the ringer is obnoxious enough to wake me up, even at the slightest setting.

Idk if sense has it but isn't the notification volume separate from ringer volume if you go into the sound settings.

LOL, I was thinking the exact same thing........
I would appreciate both ends adjusted.
Same issue with the low end being too high, and I would like the high end louder too.
I'm thinking I would like at least AnthraX GB kernel loud on the top end with no app equalizer. And that bottom end needs finer stepping relative to the mids.

what the poster below you said; you can't on ICS. it's not separate anymore. and if the answer is to go back to Gingerbread, then it doesn't even matter if they're separate because the GB volumes are fine! lol
Since you cannot set separate volumes for ringer and notifications, the only thing you can do is to choose a softer sounding notification or choose "silent " as your notification sound. Then an app from the market that will switch your ring tones and notification sounds at different times of the day. I use Volume Ace. It not only allows you to customize all your levels but you can have different tones for different profiles and then set a schedule.

Same here. I could barely hear a thing until I found the file I needed out of the "old firmware patch" to bring the volume back up to audible levels on ICS... and it STILL isn't really loud enough - not nearly as loud as it was in GB...
Just out of curiosity, which ROM and firmware are you running at the moment? I wanna see if I can use the file from that ROM to increase the volume on myn phone! I'm using older ICS with the GB OTA firmware.

OK... well I am on the GB OTA firmware, with the "old firmware patch", so thats HBOOT 2.11 + its associated firmware. I think this is the difference, but honestly I don't know why yet. I'm looking into it, but I'm like 95% sure at this point that if I upgrade to the latest HBOOT and firmware and remove the old firmware patch, then my volume will increase like yours.
Conversely, I believe that your volume will go back down if you went back to the GB OTA HBOOT and firmware, installed the old firmware patch, and stayed on the ICS ROM you're using.
I did that though.. i ran ics with gb firmware and patch and it was still loud.

Well, in that case.... I guess I am as clueless as you are in this matter. Certainly is annoying though... I'd much rather have the volue too loud on average because it can always be reduced... but mine is barely audible during calls especially even at maximum volume. A far worse problem I think, but I guess it depends on your ears.

My ring tone sounds obnoxiously loud in my house, but in my pocket at work I almost never hear it unless I'm wearing headphones.
Too bad the notification volume and ring volume are tied in ICS. What does it take to allow them to work independently?
The only real solution I have to the OP, I think, is find your ringtone, open it up in Audacity, decrease the gain, and add it back into your phone. In this way you could have the ring and notification volumes the same, but your ringtone would be reduced in volume comparatively.
In fact, I just did this. This thread inspired me to change my ringtone volume, otherwise I'd be too lazy, lol.
My volume isn't as loud as my previous phones.
Could it just be my phone?
Anyone suggest an apk that is safe to use without hurting the speaker.

Might be your speakers/headphones.
I've noticed that depending on what headphones I use, the volume is different.
On my phone, using earbuds, I have to keep the volume quite low actually. if its even 50% its too loud for my ears.
