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?
