Sound volume too low

Sound volume too low

[danielscheidler]

I don't think that it can work as a real siren.
At least I don't know of anything to get the audio output significantly louder. I can test it with an unflashed one, but I suspect that these will not be louder either.

Hi Daniel,

This is the youtube video I was refering to from Sonoff's channel, I just hope they didn't remove this from the specs, it'd be a cool feature to have.

Thank you very much for your reply.

[chrisrock1984]

I have the same issue - sound is cristal clear but way too low ;-/
Tested it on 2 devices

[tiagombrito]

I bought some more wall switches, and i can't find any option in ewelink to make volume higher.
So maybe this is a feature they discarded, and that video is not correct anymore.

Hi , i tryed the sound from the switch, but although it works, it adds some "rain" to the sound itself, a bit, white noise if you can say that.. Also using for example google TTS it also adds that white noise sound ... is there any way to fix this ?
Also great job doing this, I also add some other light effects to it, and I love it... thanks in advance for your time dedication and effort to create this for esphome/home assistant.

In case anyone is wondering... i2s_comm_fmt: lsb (found it on another thread BLE proxy) solves the rain but keep the sound low.. :D

[TeDeVPrime]

yeah the speaker is VERY low. with the official firmware the sound is excellent. you can play doorbell sounds and it is just fine. in this case through ESP, you can barely hear it

[danielscheidler]

Yes, the i2s_comm_fmt
is already updated in my variants too (did I miss one?). But I've no idea how to get it louder.

[TeDeVPrime]

i am not even sure if it is louder in the tasmota. the sound is like 10% of the volume even though Home Assistant says 100%

[conrad784]

I today flashed esphome without ever using it with ewelink and I am very happy about this project here.
Initially I did not think about using the speakers, but it would be nice to have. So I hope what was said here is true that the original firmware does something differently.

yeah the speaker is VERY low. with the official firmware the sound is excellent. you can play doorbell sounds and it is just fine. in this case through ESP, you can barely hear it

May I ask how you found out which of the GPIOs are doing what @danielscheidler ? Maybe there is some pin which only has to be pulled high/low to enable some amplification?

[letsautomatenet]

So is the sound supposed to be working but just quiet at the moment?

When I try TTS from Home Assistant to it I just get very quiet static noise. No words are spoken. (The yaml has "i2s_comm_fmt: lsb" in it)

(Great work btw @danielscheidler. I was using a really old hand cracked yaml for this switch. This is much nicer)

[barth11]

@letsautomatenet - The speaker is working flawlessly. I can put there mp3 song you can understand words. It's not loud or very good but that's not something I'd expect from something so small. For ringtone, notifications, doorbell it's enough.

I want to use it as a doorbell, but the volume on my device is very low. If In play a mp3, I can nearly hear it when my ear is 20cm from the device. Could you share your config?

Is there anything special you did? The audio section is as follows, as per the file tx_ultimate_local.yaml:

media_player:
  - platform: i2s_audio
    id: media_out
    name: ${friendly_name} Player
    dac_type: external
    i2s_dout_pin: ${audio_sdata_pin}
    i2s_audio_id: audio_i2s
    i2s_comm_fmt: lsb    
    mode: mono

The documentation here also says it doesn't work at moment so would be good to know how you got it working!

https://github.com/SmartHome-yourself/sonoff-tx-ultimate-for-esphome#media-player

Thanks.

[barth11]

Is there anything special you did?

@letsautomatenet - I didn't change anything. I just used the setup from this repo and played mp3 from HA.

@Whatsek - I can hear the sound from another room but it's not loud but for me it was enough as it's not my primary speaker for ringbell. I didn't change anything.

[letsautomatenet]

Thanks for the reply.

No idea why mine isn't working. :-( It just goes straight to "Idle" when I try TTS or MP3.

[letsautomatenet]

I finally got it to work! Here were my issues in case someone else has similar:

• The URL presented by Home Assistant is my https external URL, as this is what is required for TTS with Google Home. This was not resolving/being blocked by my firewall for my ESP device. I assigned the ESP device a DNS address of my local AdGuard DNS server with a local rewrite rule to the HA ip address to prevent any potential DNS loopback/hairpin issues

• Some of my MP3s simply don't play on it. So when I thought I hadn't resolved the comms issue, I in fact had. Perhaps it's the encoding of these MP3s it doesn't like. The same files play on the Google speakers.

It is indeed pretty quiet.

[Whatsek]

I will test some MP3`s tonight, @letsautomatenet pretty quiet, can you hear it from 3 meters away? (I cant)

[knuppe]

Same problem here, I can't hear the device from 3 meters away.

I was thinking about exploring the original firmware and see if we find something for it, does anyone have its original .bin file?

[Nalith]

I have the US version firmware for 2G and 3G.

[robbiedehand]

for me the sound is not hearable, if i put my ear against is i hear some static and when i play media that static is changing in tone for a short while, anybody got suggestions?

for now i connected out the audio component and will install, see if the static is gone

[robbiedehand]

Okay can sombody give me a pointer on how to disable the static :-) now that i have heard it, i cant unhear it.

I finally got it to work! Here were my issues in case someone else has similar:

• The URL presented by Home Assistant is my https external URL, as this is what is required for TTS with Google Home. This was not resolving/being blocked by my firewall for my ESP device. I assigned the ESP device a DNS address of my local AdGuard DNS server with a local rewrite rule to the HA ip address to prevent any potential DNS loopback/hairpin issues
• Some of my MP3s simply don't play on it. So when I thought I hadn't resolved the comms issue, I in fact had. Perhaps it's the encoding of these MP3s it doesn't like. The same files play on the Google speakers.

It is indeed pretty quiet.

how did you see that is was blocked? i allready got adgaurd dns rewrites, but i suspect i have the sam isseu, i cant pinpoint it though

Anyone knows what's the i2c audio chip by any chance?

[the-mentor]

I found this from Jessie on the esphome discord

`media_player` volume is software driven, but if the amp itself has a default low max volume setting and can be configured via i2c etc then it needs its own compoennt to do that configuration at boot

Maybe we need to figure it out somewhere
