Volume too low

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm using sipdroid for 1 month now. When I'm calling I can hear the
other person cleary, but the volume is very low. The volume with
sipdroid is lower than the volume of a normal mobile call.

Is it possible to add a feature to increase the volume? 

Phone: HTC Magic with Android 1.5 Cupcake.
Software: Sipdroid Ver. 1.0.5 beata
Provider: Vodafone Netherlands

Greets, 

J.P. van Zijst

Have you tried adjusting volume (by pressing the up/down keys)?

Yes I have.

Unfortanly is de maximum of the volume by Sipdroid still the half of my normal 
mobile
calls though my network carrier.

I had this very problem myself. Solved it by editing
src/org/sipdroid/media/RtpStreamReceiver.java

Replaced all (2) ocurrances of:
track.setStereoVolume(AudioTrack.getMaxVolume()/3,AudioTrack.getMaxVolume()/3);
by
track.setStereoVolume(0.8f, 0.8f);

Value 0.33f was barely audible, 1.0f caused annoying local echo.

Tested ok on pbxes.org, voxalot.com and local asterisk.

Which hardware have you been using?

htc magic pvt 32a

btw, I have only tested value 1.0f with *600 voxalot echo test

What about a value of 0.5? This could be a good compromise between Dream and 
Magic. 0.8 
is already causing echo on Dream.

I have done some test today, with different values.

The have obtained the worse results calling an echo test number and with the 
local
asterisk (in the same room).

With the magic, even a value of 1.0 is ok when calling via voipbuster through
voxalot. (0.5 is too low for use in the street or in any noisy environment)

Since I don't have a g1 to play with, and since we don't know yet what to 
expect from
an htc hero, samsung galaxy, coming motorolas, etc, I would suggest adding a 
"gain"
menu entry in advanced settings, with eventually a 0.5 default value.

@asandini:

I agree with you to add a menu entry in advanced settings to gain the volume. 

Unfortanly I've no idea to edit the files by hand to increase the volume.

Is it possible that you can opload sipdroid .apk file with your settings made?

I have an issue with my sipdroid that is described perfectly in issue #118.
(I am using an HTC Vogue with the 1.5 Android port)

The default volume is way too low.
Playing with the earpiece gain settings does change the volume a little, but 
it's
still unusable even at maximum.

Without modyfing the source code, I would like to know where sipdroid saves the 
value
from the menu, and if I would be able to manually edit it to input a different 
value
like 2.00f

Thank You

The Nexus One has very low transmitted voice volume. This happens when speaking 
into
the phone's mic, but it doesn't happen when using a headset with a good mic. It 
is a
Nexus One problem because the Droid doesn't have this problem. I'm using 
Sipdroid
1.2.4 beta, Gizmo, WiFi. 

I guess things get complex when every Android phone has a different sound bug...
The Droid and the Nexus One both have volume problems with VoIP calls, but the
problems different on each. In fact, they are mutually exclusive sets (and 
almost the
opposite in some cases).

I am also having the same problem with the audio being too low, on an LG EVE. I 
don't know enough to edit the source code as suggested above, a user adjustable 
setting would be a big help.

I also have this problem on Acer Liquid.

This is a big problem on the T Mobile Concord as well. If anybody could send me 
their volume-modified apps I would put them to good use.
