You know there are usually 2 or 3 volume controls, right?

One in the app, a hardware one for the amp in the phone and maybe one built into the headphones..

Try other headphones
Use the rocker key key on the phone side, near the NOKIA word
Turn the vol up in the app

try alsamixer -c0 in xterm, and see what the headphone volume is at. It should be around 80 something, you can put it at 100, but going 80-100 doesn't really make a diffrence. If it's really low than that's the problem.

Headphones must be plugged in, or it'll automatically be at 0 without them.

One thing I just noticed is that the volume up control in the phone app is the exact opposite of how it is in every other app I've used on here (nice huh). Wonder what genius came up with that one?? So There i was frantically trying to hear a call and turning it DOWN to total silence...
