Description
On my freerunner, I need to max out the speaker volume both with the calypso (AT+CLVL) and with ALSA to make phone conversations loud enough. FSO should max out the calypso volume so that the ALSA control alone is used to control volume.

From an IRC conversation with PaulFertser?:
<PaulFertser?> alphaone: Joerg says that the mystic capacitors (R300[45]) come and go, motivated by some mythical gsm certification issues. When i tried to use an A7 statefile (posted by Angus on OM trac) on my A6, the earpiece sound was extremely loud. I haven't checked the components. <alphaone> PaulFertser?: Okay, thanks <PaulFertser?> alphaone: he says there's no really a way to find out whether they are in or not, BOM changing all the time without any clear traces. Anyway, earpiece volume is something that should be easily user-tweakable, imho. <PaulFertser?> alphaone: anyway, those strange caps are in the earpiece path, not in the wolfson input.
Mickey, I think I remember you tried +CLVL and it had some bad effects for you. Can we apply this fix? There are quite some phones that suffer from low volume.

- Status changed from closed to reopened
- Resolution fixed deleted
There are 2 problems with the current implementation:
- channel.py now contains: c.append( "AT+CLVL=255" )
Since the framework automatically prepends "AT", this generates a command "ATAT+CLVL=255"
- It appears that turning on the gsm with AT+CFUN=1 resets this setting. Since the current code sets +CLVL before trying to register to the network, the setting doesn't take effect even if issue #1 above is addressed. Reopening bug.

Thanks for spotting. Should both be fixed by [540f58f64045f4a55c788473da68c2102697da43], please close if you agree.

Hmmm. Not yet. Now the AT+CLVL command isn't run at all (as far as I can tell from the frameworkd.log with DEBUG logging enabled).

Right. [44ed588f0e293e6c330b93bc896f96c76ad86443] should be it now.
If I recall correctly there were some issues with this approach as it would overdrive the input for some GTA02_Ax. I too have the problem that the speaker volume is too low rather than too high, but I have encountered some phones (MP devices?) which have really high volume by default.
Anyone else know more about this situation?
