On call volume really loud at the beginning of the phone call (answer or make a call)

• /e/ version: 0.15
• Device model(s): Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T

Summary

When answering incoming call volume is really loud. This happens most of the time and it seems that if you have earlier used loudspeaker it is more likely to happen on the beginning of the next call.

The problem

Receive and answer a phone call --> call starts with maximum sound although volume indicator shows low volume setting. When pressing volume down, it has no effect. You have to press first volume up and then you can lower volume by pressing volume down.

Receive and answer a phone call - or also sometimes when you make the call volume can be really loud.

What is the expected correct behavior? Volume should be according to current setting and presented correctly by the volume indicator.
