Narrative:
I was taking off from durango airport, co, when I noticed aircraft Y landing. I reported my intentions and actions at all times as well as monitored the traffic on the appropriate frequency. I heard no feedback. I took off not knowing that there was an aircraft on final in the opposite direction. After liftoff, I immediately offset to my left and continued to climb. We cleared each other with considerable distance. I then did a radio check with ground operations, and discovered that the volume to my radio was fairly low.

Title: DEPARTING C172 FROM DRO ARPT FAILS TO RECOGNIZE HIS AIR-TO-GND COM VOLUME IS TURNED DOWN BELOW AUDIBLE LEVEL AND CONFLICTS WITH A LNDG, OPPOSITE DIRECTION DHC8.
Narrative: I WAS TAKING OFF FROM DURANGO ARPT, CO, WHEN I NOTICED ACFT Y LNDG. I RPTED MY INTENTIONS AND ACTIONS AT ALL TIMES AS WELL AS MONITORED THE TFC ON THE APPROPRIATE FREQ. I HEARD NO FEEDBACK. I TOOK OFF NOT KNOWING THAT THERE WAS AN ACFT ON FINAL IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. AFTER LIFTOFF, I IMMEDIATELY OFFSET TO MY L AND CONTINUED TO CLB. WE CLRED EACH OTHER WITH CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE. I THEN DID A RADIO CHK WITH GND OPS, AND DISCOVERED THAT THE VOLUME TO MY RADIO WAS FAIRLY LOW.
