I had this issue for about a year...which was the goddamn low in-call volume. In my case it was the clogged earpiece.
So maybe you can try out cleaning the earpiece first before going onto other software-side solutions or replacing the earpiece.

get an old but clean toothbrush and some isopropyl alcohol.



* clean out the rough grit by toothbrush first.
* then spray (~2 squirts) some isopropyl alcohol directly onto the earpiece.
* shake the phone in an outwards motion
* now you need a soft but non-fiber surface because you are gonna hit the earpiece of the phone a bit strongly. paper on a towel works fine.
* hit the earpiece of the phone repeatedly onto the surface. if you used a white paper you will see "grease" traces on the paper. hit until you see no more gunk on the paper.
* let the earpiece dry for about 5 minutes
* check whether the volume of the in-call is improved.

for me the results were dramatic! i would guess that the volume increased 80-100%

hope it works for you, too! :good:
