Thanks for the recommendation.
I really would prefer not having to buy newer headsets, as my OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2 and AfterShokz Trekz Air headsets have worked well for me thus far on previous phones, and I am only seeing problems in Sailfish X. I am not opposed to getting a new headset, but it would be more of a last resort kind of thing that I would do if I would know 100% it would solve my problem.
Oddly enough, today I noticed that these headsets are far too loud now with the boost I put into place when making a phone call, as I cannot comfortably use either set due to not being able to reduce the volume any further. In fact, the volume rocker seems to be using my 200% as the minimum volume, and it will only go higher from there. I need to test sometime when I have a patient caller, but I suspect during a call I’ll have to drop the volume from 200% to 50% when taking a call with the exact same headsets.
In other words, I don’t think the headsets are the problem. I think that there must be an issue with how the volume control in Sailfish X works…at least on certain phones anyway.
I see there is this thread, which seems to indicate that there’s problems with the volume setup. The main complaint there is about the minimum volume, which is indeed now a problem for me, but only with phone calls.
