Mickey: It seems a very bad idea to default to maximum volume if it causes distortion. I'm not sure yet that that's the sole audio problem in SHR-unstable, but I can say that when I turned the speaker volume down to what it was in SHR-testing (68%), I was understood perfectly, for the first time, by Google's voice recognition (1-800-GOOG-411).
For anyone wondering how to use D-Bus to set the volume to 68%, you can do it by cutting and pasting this line: mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ogsmd /org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device org.freesmartphone.GSM.Device.SetSpeakerVolume 68 And this line will show you the current volume: mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ogsmd /org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device org.freesmartphone.GSM.Device.GetSpeakerVolume Please experiment with different values by changing the volume during a call. I'm interested to know what values work the best for you all. And does 100% actually work for anybody without distortion? --Ben On Tue, Jul 7, 2009 at 10:38 PM, Michael 'Mickey' Lauer<mic...@vanille-media.de> wrote: > FWIW, against my personal experience (where this setting lead to > suboptimal results), people have forced me to uplevel the speaker volume > in the phone to the maximum in ogsmd.
