[asterisk-users] Polycom low volume

[Michael Graves]

Looking at some old Polycom reference configs I find the following from
the phonexxxxxxxx.cfg

"The user’s selection of the receive volume during a call can be
remembered between calls. This can be configured per termination
(handset, headset and hands-free/chassis). In some countries
regulations exist which dictate that receive volume should be reset to
nominal at the start of each call on handset and headset."

voice.volume.persist.handset
voice.volume.persist.headset
voice.volume.persist.handsfree

If set to 1 any of these will cause call valume to be remembered once
set by the user. My users like this a lot.

OTOH, more general line level issues can be addressed in the Zaptel
config. Beware of related echo.
