Adding more details if anyone wants to read
I have used the PinePhonePro for over a year now. Early on, the Biktorgj 0.7.2 firmware worked really good. I had calls at an OK state. So, in my experience, I have had calls working in different states. Last week, I had to reload the OS on the PinePhonePro. I was having calls issues and I was told the Biktorgj 0.8.0 helped a lot with calls.
Definitions:
"during a call" is any phone call started or received between my PinePhonePro and my wife's Android phone.
"Freight train" is during a call, the Android phone sounds like the PinePhonePro is on a train, Android phone is extremely loud and full of noise.
"Echo" is during a call, the Android phone has a clear half second delay an echo. My wife would hear herself.
"DanctNIX VoiceCall.conf" also includes the DanctNIX HiFi.conf, PinePhone.conf
"Biktorgj VoiceCall.conf" also includes the DanctNIX PinePhone.conf and the Biktorgj HiFi.conf, EnableSeq.conf and DisableSeq.conf
In all situations I tested, the PinePhonePro always seamed to be OK. It was always the Android phone that showed the issues.
Scenario one:
OS: DanctNIX Arch with Phosh (archlinux-pinephone-pro-phosh-20230203.img.xz)
EG25 Firmware: Biktorgj 0.7.2
Audio: Pulseaudio (not pipewire)
DanctNIX VoiceCall.conf
With some slight edits of the VoiceCall.conf the "Freight train" was fixed and there was only a slight whisper of an "echo".
Scenario two:
OS: DanctNIX Arch with Phosh (archlinux-pinephone-pro-phosh-20240326.img.xz)
EG25 Firmware: Biktorgj 0.7.2
Audio: pipewire (not Pulseaudio)
DanctNIX VoiceCall.conf
With some slight edits of the VoiceCall.conf the "Freight train" was fixed and there was a clear and audible "echo".
Biktorgj VoiceCall.conf
With and without edits on VoiceCall.conf the "Freight train" was an issue.
Scenario three:
OS: DanctNIX Arch with Phosh (archlinux-pinephone-pro-phosh-20240326.img.xz)
EG25 Firmware: Biktorgj 0.8.0
Audio: pipewire (not Pulseaudio)
DanctNIX VoiceCall.conf
With and without edits on VoiceCall.conf the "Freight train" was fixed and there was a clear and audible "echo".
Biktorgj VoiceCall.conf
Setting the PipeWire Mic volume to 0 with alsamixer.
Without edits on VoiceCall.conf the "Freight train" was fixed and the "echo" is fixed. Also, the side volume up and down buttons work during a phone call.
