On calls sometimes I can't hear the other person.
Sometimes they can't hear me well, too quite.
I've push the volume up arrow all the way to the max.
Is there anything else I can try?

I see lots of audio boost mods for speakers and headphones but to me, it's volume in-call that is too low at times where you're surrounded by noise.
I don't think so it's only where your surrounded by noise. The people I'm talking to have a hard time listening to me in quiet environment. I

I'm used to an iPhone, this thing at max only goes to 2/3 of what an iPhone does, I've tried things like Volume+ and it doesn't do anything only make the music distorted and unlistenable not actually any louder. Now I appreciate I'm gonna get "I can't listen to it at full volume" replies, but I am saying its no where near the volume of an iPhone. Its ok in quiet environment but outside or at work any ambient noise is clearly heard over the top, its a real let down for me this and to be honest it can be smart to launch missiles but if I can't hear my music I couldn't care less what else it can do.
your doing it wrong
50% volume level fine indoors for me 70% outside .
A large number of same questions re the sound have been asked a search amongst them will find some sound improving tips .

I'm running stock still and at around 70-80% volume with my iems, you already can't hear any ambient noise at all outside or in a train. Maybe try changing your headset for something else.
The earphones that came with this phone are pretty loud, even with ambient noise, if it's not loud enough for you, you may have hearing damage from listening to music loudly for long periods of time
I thought about the hearing damage but then how do we explain the ambient noise? The stock headphones are nasty, mine sound very muddy, I am using Sennheisers but doesn't make any difference.
Had the exact same issue on my Desire S previously.

I don't think this is the issue, sound quality is a different complaint from sound volume, your complaint thus far is about sound volume, and everyone who has replied thus far has said that this phone is pretty loud, I for one cannot listen to this phone at max volume with the stock headphones.
If your complaint is about SQ, then you should make that clear, so, if the volume is too low when maxed, you should maybe compare using another pair of ears or even better, another SGS2, if the issue is SQ, it has already been stated that this is a drawback when compared to the first SGS which had a superior sound processor
when I make a call, the earpiece makes a staticy popping noise. I turn the call volume down and it's still somewhat there but I can't help but think there's something wrong with the earpiece. Do this happen to anyone else?
Does it still do it if you uncheck voice privacy in the dialer settings? That would be my only suggestion.
I experience the same thing. I have to lower the volume to make it go away. I tested my earpiece on other phones (touch pro 2 and iphone 4s) and I don't experience the same static even at the highest level. I suspect that the lte is pushing higher frequencies that some headsets cannot handle. I tried different equalizer settings without any changes. I took a higher quality headset and the distortion goes away confirming my theory. I don't think some headsets can handle the full range of frequencies that the lte pushes out. Does anyone know of any mods that will alter the frequency more than the stock settings?
similar problem, but with playing videos... (at least with some of them)

that seems to have done it, will test it further but for right now thank!
having the same problem, constant ticking noise coming from the earpiece speaker when I make a call, and its only on my end. Tried the solutions mentioned above, still got the issue. No problems with bluetooth or using the speaker phone
I'm having the same issues, doesn't seem to happen on every call. But it only happens on my end where I hear the cracking noise. The person on the other end says I sound fine. Does anyone know I can do?
This is an EVO problem

I have the same problem... sometime it sounds ok, then some call sound like crap! Then I started testing it and found that it happens 100% of the time... just on one end of the phone. If you are having this problem, make a call... If it sounds good to you, ask the person on the other end of the phone how you sound! You will see that one of the two people will have bad call quality, making this a problem 100% of the time!
I'm getting this weird audio issue starting just a few days ago. It will suddenly ignore my volume settings and go to max volume. Even if I'm in the middle of something like watching a video in class on silent, it will suddenly switch to full blast volume without warning. However, the audio is extremely distorted beyond recognition so it is just very loud garbled white noise.
Any ideas?
I have an issue with audio as well but it's different in that when I lower volume to mute you can still hear the sounds play at very low volumes (have to place ear next to speakers to really hear it). I'm wondering if that's your case as well.

I've thought I've heard that too a few times but I usually shrug it off that it was just in my head. That's very different from the issue I'm posting about though.
Hello everyone
While I was talking on the phone every time I have the earpiece sound like static electricity
The noise sounded only earpiece
Speaker phone does not
Anyone know ?
Where could be the problem ??
Thank you
I have a similar problem through the earpiece but it seems to lessen with HD Clarity & Noise Suppression box checked. It sounds like distortion crackle through the higher frequencies especially noticeable when the callers starts raising the volume of their voice. I had my phone for the past 4 days with volume up at around 20% however it seems to be only with certain callers.
Hi,
Since I got this phone I noticed that when I make a call the ring tone is odd, one ring is loud and the next is softer and
when it connects the same thing happens to the person on the other end.
Like the sound volume is cutting in and out.
I am guessing its related to some noise reduction technology they included.
