In-call volume is WAAYY too LOUD!

I have an HTC One (M7) and I am having a problem with the in-call volume being too loud. Even when turned to the lowest setting, I can hold the phone 18 inches from my face and hear the conversation perfectly. I work in an office and my cube-mate can hear my calls.
I have tried turning the call volume all the way up and then all the way done - No joy.
I have done a factory refresh and re-installed my apps - No joy.
I have confirmed the setting relating to hearing aids is off. - No joy.
I have Tried it with Batas Audio on/off - No joy.
Any other ideas. I am extremely frustrated with all of the Google searching that I have done to address this. Has anyone else seen this and solved it?

A few people with in call volume problems have mentioned that they had to hold their phones away from them while adjusting in call volume (it didn't change when next to their ears. It may be related to the automatic pickup/answer call feature that occurs if you have it enable to answer a call when you bring it to your ear). After making a call you can try holding it away from you while adjusting.
The below applies to the m8 Harmon/Kardon edition and was a recommended solution for in-call volume issues for that phone, but may work on your m7 phone too.
Perform a soft reset.
A soft reset restarts your phone and does not erase any of your content or data.
Press and hold the Power key and Volume Up key for 10 seconds.
Your HTC One® M8 Harman/Kardon® edition
restarts.
You can access a HTC diagonstics menu by typing the following into your phone when at a dialing screen:
*#*#3424#*#*
The first test in the audio test option plays from the in call speaker.

Headphone volume is always too loud

My new laptop is unacceptably loud when using headphones in the combo jack. The sound is bearable at exactly 1 volume, which obviously leaves no room for adjustment. This was not a problem with my previous laptop, an old HP Pavilion dv6t. That computer also had Beats Audio, but the version number was higher, and it recognized my headphones as being different from the laptop speakers. On my new ENVY 15, the only playback device is Speaker/HP, and it uses the same profile when I'm using headphones.
Is there a way to lower the volume all around? I am currently using the recommended driver for this model, which is odd, because it's apparently an earlier version than the computer I bought years ago. Can I replace or upgrade driver or Beats Audio Control Panel?

I understand that when you have your headphones connected the volume is too loud.
Here is a link to HP Notebook PCs - Troubleshooting Sound Problems with External Speakers and Headsets in Windows 7
You can also try running MS Fix It to help overcome this difficulty.

Volume on iPod Too Loud But Unable to Lower

On my iPod, the volume is turned all the way down, but it still plays too loud. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks for any help.

There is a chance that the iPod is a European model, which has a much lower maximum volume compared to the US models. Just a thought though.

The volume is just too **** loud! :)

When I hook up my iMac to the normal speaker system, it's all good, I turn the volume way up in Leopard, and then proceed to 'down-tune' it with the speaker's own volume knob.
But there are times the rest of the house is still asleep, and I use the headphones that came with my iPod. The problem is, I can't turn the volume down far enough. 0 'blocks' of volume (in Leopard) is completely muted, and 1 'block' is already too loud. Of course, some applications have their own volume control (iTunes, Quicktime, etc), so I can turn it down there, but that does not control the volume of the system's own sounds (The "Ding"-download-is-done-sound for instance).
Is there a way to turn the volume down in the system (like, 0.5 'block' would be ideal) without using headphones with a built-in volume control? (for one, I don't own one of them, and secondly, they usually destroy sound quality)
Right now, I kinda feel like Huey Lewis in Back to the Future. "It's just too **** loud".

Sorry but I don't understand which "block" you are talking about. Volume adjustment is continuous rather than discrete. If you do it in System preferences->sound, the volume bar is nice and long so it shouldn't be hard to find a good level.

Ah! I think, you mean the volume button on the keyboard. Just do it in system preferences or using the volume bar in the menu.

Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 Volume is still too loud at 0%

Hi,
I got the Lifechat LX-3000, and when I move the volume slider down in the volume controls, it gets quieter, but when I get to 0% I still hear sound, and I cannot make it get any quieter than it gets at that point. If I click mute, the sound goes off, but
I want to be able to use the headphones at a lower volume than what it is at 0%. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

Hi,
Firstly, please test the issue using another headphone.
If that one works fine, based on my research, please download and install the
driver and see how it works.
If issue persists, it is recommended to contact
Microsoft Hardware Support for help.
Hope this helps.

Nokia 603 in-call volume too low ?

Hello everyone. Bought Nokia 603 yesterday and im very pleased with it. however im having a problem with it searched for it and on internet and found nothing. 603's in call volume is way too low. i have set volume to max but still if i call someone or they call me earpiece (not headphone) volume is very low.
I want to know that is this a hardware fault or just all Nokia 603 phones are having this issue. Thanks. and is there any solution for it ? and also my phone is running on symbian belle FP1.

wow 35 views but no reply.

HELP! Serious problem! LOW call volume!! NOT a goo...

I find the call volume very low even in a quiet environment. If outside, I find it very difficult to hear what my clients have said.
One fact business people love blackberry is because it has got good call and ringtone volume.
N900's ringtone volume is good, but the call volume is just too low. (I have already used the side button to max the call volume, the strange thing is, 50% and 100% make very little difference...)
Any FIX!!!

hi, i can't really help but look back through the posts because there was a similar one before and there might be a solution there but it could be a hardware issue because mine's loud enough on around 60%

Voluem is too loud!

just wondering if anyone else has had or heard of this problem.
The volume is way too loud. I tested it in two different headphones. also the volume is much, much louder in one side of the headphones. AND this is really weird. if I turn the volume ALL the way down, the volume is still way too loud (one the one side) to listen to comfortably. any ideas?

yes, tried that. still having the problem.
to be more precise, the one stereo channel does respond to the volume controls, but the other does not. it seems to be playing the left side at max volume at all times, while the right side loudens and softens with the scroll wheel.
well I guess I have to take it back.

My sister had a problem with call volume being too low on the iPhone 5S. Is the iPhone 6 louder? Is anyone else feeling that call volume on iPhone 5S isn't loud enough?

I personally haven't experienced much of the "reverberation/feedback" when using a headset on the i4S...
Yes, I have near-perfect hearing too (for scope, squeaky brakes hurt my ears) I come from many conversations on many phones and types and first off, CDMA technology is great for coverage, terrible for voice quality. HD Voice in Europe made for some of the best phone conversations I've ever had.
Back on track, feedback is most noticable (similar to the landline phone) when using the iPhone without a headset, but for me it's not an absolute criticality mainly because I use VoIP apps alot, so maybe it has desensitized me some over the past year.
But whenever I'm on a call, and the other person has me on speakerphone, I have alot of trouble talking because of the feedback loop caused. So the less of my voice I hear the better I can talk.
Have you tried a bluetooth headset yet?

Adjusting Volume Control - Incoming calls too loud

I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT19000 mobile phone. I have no problem adjusting the volume of normal calls, but when using Skype on my mobile, the speaker volume is so loud that I have to hold the phone away from my ear or put in an earplug. Does anybody know how to adjust the volume in Skype?

I have played with the media volume while on calls and when not on calls. This does not adjust the sound for skype. None of my phone's sound options adjust the sound for skype. Still no solution?

The Skype incoming call volume is controlled by your phone's "Media Volume" in the

Try the Media Volume and see if that fixes your issues.

Ringing and end call SOUND is too loud

Ringing and end call SOUND is too loud! (I use samsung galaxy s2)
While voice is quite low.
I love Skype! Thanks. Support Globalfirm.

Lets cultivate ecological best quality.

The sound is max and can't be adjusted!
Good would be also to adjust music volume on phone separately from the skype volume.

Bluetooth volume too loud, volume step 1 is silent

Did this too... Still the same...

When connecting a Sony SBH-20 Bluetooth Headset to my Z1 Compact there is no sound when Bluetooth voume is set to 1. I need to raise it to 2 for the sound to be output and then it is too loud for me when listening to music. SW version in mobile is 1.4.4.A.0.108I have also tried with a Jabra Play BT headset with same result.Update: Now I have tried with a Sony SBH80 and then it works ! Step 1 on the volume does output sound and on a reasonable level when playing music.For the SBH20 and Jabra Play the problem persists, but to be clear the in-call volume works fine on all steps, it is the Media/Music volume that is silent on step 1. It also seams that step 10 does not give any increase for Media on these two headsets. SW error ?

My 2nd generation itouch volume is too loud

The volume on my itouch is way too loud even at the lowest setting. If I slide it anymore it would mute. I don't know what to do. Can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks

Go into the Settings app then press Music. You'll see an option called "Volume Limit." This is Apple's way of making sure you don't burst your eardrums. Use the slider to adjust the Volume Limit to your prefrence. It also you be your headphones or speaker. Try using a different speaker or another pair of headphones.
Hope I helped!

Facetime the volume is too loud

I just updated my iPod touch to iOS 6 and when I Facetime the volume is too loud even if I turn it down. I tried to restore it several times but nothing changed...what can I do? Do I have to send it to Apple support?

I am having a similar problem - but it's not exactly the same.
I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 6 when it first came out and everything seemed fine.
Last weekend, I noticed that I had soem issues with music copied to my phone which I couldn't seem to delete and after a lot of mucking about, decided the ebst best was to restore my phone to basics and re-load all of my music.
I noticed when I did the restore to rhe iPhone that it downloaded a new copye of iOS as part of the restore.
After the update, I managed to clean up my music but in phone calls, the audio on my phone - through the handset speaker is too loud and it makes the speaker vibrate. If i try to use the volume buttons, i can see the volume slider move up or down but the audio volume doesn't actually change very much and even at low levels the audio qulity is poor. the speaker vibrates. Strange thing is that if i put the phone call on speaker phone, it's fine.
If I use the headphones, volume does change on calls when i use the volume controls on the headphone cable. it even changes when i use the volume buttons on the handset with the headphones plugged in and in both cases the audio quality is fine.
With the headphones in music volume is low but does adjust up and down using wither the cable volume controls or the ones on the handset.
Audio on music through my car sound system seems fine and does increase or decrease as I adjust it in the car.
The only issue seems to be phone caslls through the handset speaker in normal mode......
