Earpiece volume

[pebble_games]

Hey guys,

My in-call earpiece volume has been incredibly low recently. I can't hear the other person unless I'm in an extremely quiet environment. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I'm hoping it's just a hardware issue as I've ordered a new earpiece speaker on Amazon for cheap. Let me know if you've had the same issue.

Update: I replaced the earpiece, however the volume is still extremely low. This leads to me thinking it's a software issue.

Update: I found the line of code in which you can control the earpiece volume. (You need root to access and edit the system file). I used the following steps

• In your file explorer (make sure you have root and can edit system files - BE CAREFUL) go to /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml
• Open the mixer_paths.xml file with a text
• Scroll down about two thirds of the way until you see the following code snippet
  

  <path name="voice-handset">
  <path name="handset" />
  <ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="[B]94[/B]" />
  </path>

• The value here controls the earpiece volume. Change this to a desired volume I recommend trying 100 and seeing if that is satisfactory.
  CAUTION: Be careful with this volume control. Too much of an increment may permanently damage your earpiece.
• Save the file and exit. Re-open the file and re-check the value to ensure the file saved correctly.
• Restart phone.
• Enjoy!
