Pine Phone Pro audio on phone calls: discussion, support and tips

[alaraajavamma]

I spoke too soon.
As alaraajavamma has stated, short and long suspends may lead to different results.
In that case, what is the definition of a short suspend?

I am certain that I received more than one successful phone call when waking from suspend, but yesterday I had my FIRST EVER experience where I could not hear anything on the other end.
All volume controls are maxed out when this happens, so there is no chance to fix it in-call.

So my current working theory is that, along the lines of alaraajavamma's assertions, once the phone has a long suspend, the audio routing works properly, rendering my volume settings in VoiceCall.conf way too low to hear anything.

Based on successfully received calls, I would say a long suspend could be 30+ minutes.

Hi grinzie and thanks for your report.

afaik wired headset microphone is not affected "incoming call while suspended will destroy mic" -issue. So yes you can temporary make PPP usable if you use wired headset with microphone.
This issue is not for incoming sound -> you should hear the other person just fine.
The microphone part is really easy to reproduce and the suspend time does not matter* - PPP's microphone will be "broken" after every incoming phone call while PPP is suspended.

*From time to time the microphone will be just 40% lower and sometimes 80% - but still so much lower that it makes impossible to use PPP as a phone.

So it was most likely something else what did happened to you - maybe some part of callaudio routing did not notice that you have wired headset plugged in?
