I assume you mean Qtopia 4.3.3...
However I've had the same problem. With the Speaker Playback Volume at
100 (that's default, and 79% of maximum) the volume is incredibly low,
low as in the person you're speaking to is indiscernible unless you're
in a perfectly quiet room and listening very carefully.
After setting the Speaker Playback Volume to 127 (100% of maximum) the
volume is acceptable for a quiet room but would be insufficient for even
a moderately noisy environment. The legendary buzz also increases to a
level just as loud as the voice itself. 2 questions:
1) Why is the default volume so god-awful low on Qtopia? And why, even
on maximum (although I realise the theoretical maximum might hinge on a
number of settings), is it still so low?
2) Is there *any* way to get rid of the GSM buzz permanently? I have
seen the whole 'PIN 4' explanation on the wiki, however basically what
that's saying is that it's a hardware fault which is unlikely to have a
viable resolution. I am at the point now where I would seriously
consider removing the audio jack completely if I knew it would get rid
of the buzz. Would this work?

I was able to fix this by tweaking the 'Speaker Playback Volume' in
/usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/gsmhandset.state. Updated this value to 127
(was set to 100) and the volume is back to normal for me.

Just flashed the newest qtopia to a 1gb sd card... any ideas as to why the
volume is super low, no matter what I set it to in the control panel?
thanks
