I had this problem too. Someone from OpenMoko said that there was a mismatch
between the volumes from the GSM chip and the audio chip, but it shouldn't
be very big.

Hackable:1 and FSO M5 distributions work better, try them. Or maybe it's
something with the latest kernels.

Now my main problem is that the earphone volume is low, so I can't hear the
other party if I'm in a slightly noisy environment.

I've been thinking that getting a bluetooth headset to work would be a good
workaround for the gain problems, but I think all OpenMoko distros use an
older version of bluez (versions 3.x) rather than the latest 4.x, which I
think may have useful fixes for the headset profile.

Good luck Vladimir.
