I'm very sorry, but did you tried to clean it with single drop of alcohol and compressed air stream?

Hi there, got a Jolla C I was now trying to use as a phone, but the volume during the calls is amazingly low.

Any hints?

Tried a few solutions from together.jolla.com, namely trying to increase the volume via PulseAudio with its ctl util, but I got errors that it couldn't connect to a local server (I assume the pulseaudio server).

Code:

pactl set-sink-volume 1 150%

Someone tried and fixed it already?
that'd be appreciated.

Thanks!

I don't know about Jolla C, but on my Jolla 1 the volume has always been very low. Making a call in a noisy environment like a busy street is nigh impossible.

You can try:

Code:

pactl set-sink-volume sink.primary 150%

or my patch for this:

My Nexus 5 also has a much lower call volume in sailfish than in android. Media volume is the same across both OS's, though.

@taixzo, interesting.
@Schturman, 150%? Seriously? I need at least 400% to make a difference.

well, it's very easy to push PA to 150%
