cset "name='Class D SPK Ratio Control' 2.20x"
with above setting Phone call in normal mode works fine for me , but loudspeaker mode is not usable .

hi, any other suggestions for fixing loud (like white noise) whilst talking in a call?  I've followed these without an improvement. My voice sounds as I am in a rave but I am only inside my hole.

Thank you, I have already installed Biktorgj's firmware and changed the config file as below. No improvement:

If microphone audio is too loud during phone calls ( distorted audio and lots of background noise from your side )
Then change the default value from 8 to 3 ( YMMV you may need to go a bit higher or lower, but 8 is way too much in my testing ).

I changed also

cset "name='Class D SPK Ratio Control' 2.20x"
cset "name='ADC Capture Volume' 60"
cset "name='Mono ADC Capture Volume' 99"

Also no improvement. Probably I am doing something wrong.

Would suggest to open a bug report in the third link, if there is none there already. The FOSS firmware also has its own Matrix channel to discuss the issue but a bug report should be the priority IMO.

megi is rewriting whole callaudio routing for PPP. Megi did wrote that to pinephone matrix group yesterday.
There is no eta - so don't expect that this becames ready in seconds.
I don't think bug reports help at the moment because megis work should fix them when the solution becames ready

PinePhone Pro (bought Sunday 2-7-2023, order completed 5-7, shipped 6-7, received in Brussels Monday 11-7-2023).
Mobian (weekly) mobian-pinephonepro-phosh-20230709.img.
I called my daughter who said hearing me very low, nearly not understandable. The incoming sound of her voice was perfect.
I read somewhere about using alsamixer, which I did. As a result, receiving a call, no sound at all (in and out).
I could not find a better way to revert the changes than reinstalling, this time mobian-pinephonepro-phosh-20230606.img.
Same situation calling my daughter. I asked her to call me. Same problem with an incoming call: good voice from the other side, very weak from my side.
But there is some outgoing sound at least. (Answer to question 1: yes, but not satisfactorily.) How could I improve the sound from the microphone (in phone call mode) without breaking everything?
