xv6700 wm6 bad speakphone and low volume

[rbytheway]

After upgrading to the WM6 (using helmi_c's kitchen) the volume on my xv6700(vzw) sucks. The volume is was too low on the ringtones as well as when using speakerphone. i've tried adding other ringtones and get the same results. I've also done a few hacks that are supposed to increased the volume...didn't work. Before the latest kitchen rev i could control the volume from the phone volume slider, now i have to use the PDA volume slider (the volume control on the left). If i crank it all the way up, i can sort of hear it ring, but its crackling and choppy. I've reloaded the ROM several times and tried not added multiple packages. i cant find a combo that works. any ideas?

thanks,
