Hi all,
The audio on my Jam (predominantly the output from the built-in speaker) was driving me a little nuts. I was getting stuttering and clicks in programs (games), in movies (WMV) and using the phone. Also, there was a lot of stutter in the notifications for incoming calls and SMS.
In attempting to resolve this, I noticed that GB-SOFT Tweak (http://www.gb-soft.cz/XDAII/products.htm) had an
interesting setting "Higher priority for audio media". I turned on this setting, soft reset, and Wham! sounds are as
smooth as butter globally. I haven't had any noticeable negative side effects, just better sounds.
I looked into what the GB-SOFT utility is doing, and it seems to just be setting one registry value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\Priority256
from it's default
0x100 (256) to
0x80 (128)
This apparently gives the built-in sound processing DLL (WaveDev) a higher thread priority and eliminates the skipping sound.
Can some of you guys try this out (either via the GB-SOFT utility, or manually in the registry), and confirm your results?
This got rid of one of the most annoying problems for me with my Jam (A great device).
YMMMV
I've just changed it to 80 and i'm going to do some tests tonight. I'll post again with the results...
Well, i've tested it and i found that while it does a lot of improvement on the sounds played from the back speaker (media player, ringtones etc.), it doesn't improve at all the audio quality from the front speaker. (I called a couple of friends...but it was still the same, robot, voice quality)
For the tests i went up to 500 (terrible audio, full of clicks and tsiks) and down to 20...
I'll continue the tests.... :?
Hi,
Good thing ! Thanks for the test
On my MDA Compact, the Priority256 key has the DWord value 110 (0X00006E). So I have no idea how to change the setting to 0X80 (128). Anyone know how to do this? I am interested in testing the results.
Using a registre editor like regedit I think.
I am using PHM regedit, that's how I found the settings I posted. But no idea what to put into that setting to change it to the settings posted in thsi thread. I will use the GB prog instead and see what it does.
Koksie I have the same problem with Resco explorer registry plug-in... :roll: Will try the regedit at home...
Regards,
Primoz

Koksi, if that is your default, then you actually have an ever higher priority set by default then GB-SOFT Tweak sets.
Hmm, I'm wondering if some other software (Or GB-SOFT Tweak itself) else lowered my priority to 0x100 (256) causing my problems in the first place.
GB-SOFT Tweak definitely sets the value to 0x80 (128) when you turn the option on, and resets it back to 0x100 (256) when you turn it off.
Can anyone else quickly check the value of this registry setting without using GB-SOFT Tweak?
Same here. The default was 110....
my default was 256 and I know I've had terrible clicking sound when I tried to install a couple of games.
I have the same settings as Koskie. 0x6E (110) The sound from my rear speaker is ok so far no problems when playing mp3s and during alerts. So I guess I will not apply this tweak for the meantime.
my default was 100....i didnt notice any difference..(qtek s100)
My default value is 0x6E (110) - haven't tried the tweak yet.

Andrew, if you set it to 110 you will have much better sound.
Everyone else, if you're already below 128, you're fine. Somehow a couple of devices (Andrrew, mine) got off the imate factory default (which seems to be 110) causing really bad sound.
Of course if you want some fun, you can manually set it to 256 and soft-reset to see how bad it is, then set it back ;-)
Hi everybody,
a lot of you on this thread seem to know quite a bit about registry settings and routine priorities. Could you please take a look at the problem in this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=99678#99678
Thanks!
My report:
Mine is 110 (factory default).
Set to 80, and found the sound is less clicking when hearing from the phone (talk like normal handphone, not from the speaker phone at bottom).
For sound like from Windows Media Player 10, or phone ringtones (midi), looks like the sound is a bit soft than before, but clearer.
I keep on 80.
Best regards,
Arto
hi have to report something weird! anyway a few posts up I said my default was 128... however I noticed that my mp3s seem to be playing out of sync or choppy and the quality was worse than before my ROM upgrade. when I checked the value it was set to 256. I'm not saying it is the ROM's fault as I have also installed/tried some other apps after the ROM upgrade and maybe these apps were responsible for lowering the audio quality for my JAM (maybe for performance purpose) anyway I've set it back to 128 and the sound is better. Maybe for people just about to do the ROM upgrade can check the before and after value so we know if it is the ROM doing the changing or just some apps.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR A GREAT THREAD!
After posting this same question here (BA Forum) and at howard forums I finally found this thread. I had the bad clicking/skipping during mp3 in WMP and during wav playback in the voice in GPS nav. My setting was 128 but I already installed the GB-Soft tweak. I still had the poor performance. I adjusted down to 110 and all problems seem to be gone. It definitely was some devious app that made a change because my device did not do this for a long time then it suddenly began. BTW, I have a pda2k not Jam. Anyway, thanks so much to all for a solution this was driving me nuts.
Thanks for the HACK !!
My device had the default value of 110, changed to 80. There's a definite improvement in the audio quality.
Thanks again.

Hi Forum,
I tried finding some report of a similar situation in here, but I couldn't find anything. So, here it comes:
Some days ago, my TyTN started by itself to use an ugly sound as its ringtone, one really annoying and not even the Windows Default, although that's exactly what it says in the ringtone selection field.
I constantly change it to one of my likeing ('OldPhone', to be precise), it theoretically keeps it even after soft-resets, but every time a call comes in I hear, again, the same ugly sound and then the ringtone has reverted to 'Windows Default' -although it doesn't sound like that, more like a metal-scraping noise
Perhaps related, but I wouldn't really know, may be the previous installation of Phone Profiles v. 1.2.1, an excellent freeware little utility. But I uninstalled it, in case it was the one causing the problem, and the situation remains the same.
I suppose I could 'fix' it with a hard-reset, but I'd prefer not having to go through this and I am starting to get really annoyed -especially when the phone rings!
Any ideas/suggestions? Even better, any solutions?
Thanking all in advance,
-Sotiris.

did you change music file associations recently to some 3rd party application? this bug is unresolved ever since WM5 AKU1 (i've had that with Wizard as well) - i.e. when you change *.mp3 file association to GSPlayer instead of default WMP, and then set mp3 file as ringtone, 'Windows Default' will always ring when incoming call comes. my solution was to convert ringtones into .wma file type, which is still associated with WMP and works as ringtone as well...
Thanks for your reply eva_d,
Well, I certainly did, but don't know if it's related, since 'OldPhone' is a WMA file. But, then again, maybe the .wma associations have changed as well?
BTW, while going through the registry settings in hope of finding something relevant, I did find that what I was hearing wasn't 'metal scraping', but just the 'doring.wav' in very high volume
Changed the setting in 'HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone\AlertingTone' to my preffered 'OldPhone.wma', rebooted, to no luck though...
And this ugly 'doring.wav' is still heard like metal scraping when loud. Of course, I could always rename my preffered tone to 'doring.wav', but this is almost as ugly a solution as the metal scraping
-s.
When I receive a call and put the phone to my ears, the speaker is too loud even set to minimum, Is there a hack that can adjust this?
If I put everything on speaker phone, the speaker is also too loud but not so anoying, but on the other hand people complain they don't hear me, so the mic
is set too low.
How can I modify this, help needed.

Why not just lower the volume. Better too loud than too soft... right?
The volume is set to minimum and is still shouts.
And I keep asking people to speak a little bit more quiet and thay say they speak normal.
So my speaker is ultra I suposse, but can I shut it up a bit?
Have exactly the same problem with all 3 M3100's that I've had. Is yours an M3100 too?
I notice that on hard reset, when the extended ROM is executed it runs an application called something like AdjustAcousticProperties. I wonder if this is doing it?

... whereas on the stock HTV Tytn, the volume is too low! If there's any way of extracting this AdjustAcousticProperties, it might be a real plus for us Tytn owners for whom the volume is too low.
Thanks!
Yes, mine is SPV M3100 too. I will look at the extended rom folder If I have that file.
Any solution?
The file would be great, thanks.
The only solution I can think of is a hard reset and an interrupt when the extROM cabs are loading (eg, don't let the AdjustAcousticProperties load)
Donno about you guys .. but my TyTN .. on speakers .. even with the lowest volume .. SEEMS WAY TOOOOOO LOUDD ...
Yes, on speakerphone, but we're talking about the earpiece volume here, I think...
PLEASE! if you can extract this file I'll like to try it out.
My earpiece of the tytn is SSSHHHIIIIITTTTEEE! its way to soft for me also.
I'm sorry your having the complete opposite problem that some of us are. I wish i could offer a solution for you but if you can offer a solution to some of us, that would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers and thanks
I can post the CAB's somewhere if somebody else would like to take a dig around inside of them?
[edit] Just realised the Orange Extended ROMs are on the site already -

I'm using a Vario II with the same problem.
With speakerphone turned on, even when it is set to the absolute minimum, the speaker screeches....it's that loud!

Hmm, can't see the CAB for AdjustAcousticProperties in the list anywhere, unless I'm being blind...
Anyone help? I'd love to increase the earpiece volume on my Tytn
I presume it's a .exe file buried inside one of the CABs. not sure how you go about decoding the contents of them though as all the files are renamed.
[edit] Just been looking around inside the CAB's using 'Wince cab manager' and nothing appears obvious. I'm sure I'm not dreaming... maybe the application is buried in there somewhere but the name isn't obvious as I have definitely seen it displaying something very close to 'SetAcousticParams' or 'AdjustAcousticProperties' during the execution of a contents of the extended ROM.
If I get time tomorrow I'll do a backup and then do a hard reset to check.
Andy.
Andy,
Great, many thanks!
Just did a hard reset - First thing it does when running the Extended ROM is at the bottom of the screen it says "Running SetAcousticParam.exe /Run..." which takes about a minute to run. Then when it installs the other CAB's you see "Installing ...... " at the bottom of the screen instead. Not sure where the exe is coming from now to be honest as it *doesn't* appear to be in the CAB's.
Andy.
Hmm, interesting. Don't suppose this file is buried somewhere in you windows folder heirarchy is it?
Thanks for helping out here!
Isnt there a reg key u can change the quality level and other things for speaker and speaker phone ,
I rememmber it on my htc wizard.
Hi!
I have totally opposite problem; my original handsfree is too quiet when listening music via Media Player. Every sound setting in the device is at maximum; Media Players volumebar is set to 100%, I scroll devices overall volume to max and slide that little knob at the HF to max. Yet it aint as loud as I would like to. And no, I´m not half deaf or such.
Allso while listening music without HF, I would like to have the device more louder.
Any hints about good 3rd party equalizer programs out there? Like such that the WinAmp (for Microsoft XP) EQ is.
Karzi, yes theres these regkeys which enables one to adjust the quality of the audio, but not it loundness. So I keep searching for programs what would allow to adjust even music loudness, ie equalizers. Anyone?

It *appears* to be... but I can't seem to find it. Found a script called preconfig.txt in \windows which seems to govern what happens on the first powerup after a hard reset, which contains the following:

EXEC:\Windows\SetHSDPA.exe /Enable

Looks like it does loads of stuff before it executes the extended ROM. Still can't find the exe though!
When I try to use the sound equalizer it just says I have to connect a headset - but I have a BT headset connected!!!
Is there any registry hack to make it work with BT Headsets and not just usb ones?
Does anyone else have this problem?
We talk about HTC Audiobooster?

Well that sucks!
I've had the same problem - very irritating.
however, look up and download SRS WOW HD - install, reboot the phone.
The Audio Booster disappears from the HTC Music Player, and you have a settings option for the SRS WOW HD. It does take a bit of processor time, and a fair bit of tweaking of its options, but it does make the Dual sound quite nice.
Shame about the occasional "break" in the music though.
THis Programm work ONLY with the Kabel Headset!!!

Does SRS WOW HD work with bluetooth headsets?
Yes it does, but you need Edit your Registry, too support your Blue Tooth driver.
Here a Copy from a Thread about this task:
That worked through BT headset it is necessary to copy all parameters from [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Wave Dev] in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\BtA2dpSnd
Except for value of parameter "OldDriver", he should be such, as was "DLL"
For example:
Before
"DLL" = "bta2dp.dll"
After
"DLL" = "WOWHD_ARM_WCE_PPC2005_Driver.dll"
"OldDriver" = "bta2dp.dll"

To have real stereo with your bluetooth stereo headphone you have to change the following registry key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings
Change the UseJointStereo value 1 to 0.
The value 1 means dual mono, value 0 means stereo
Importent ... befor you edit ... you must 100% know what is your device blue tooth driver!!! different HTC Device ... different Drivers!

That happened to me too, needed a pesky hard reset. Can anyone explain the reg changes again?
this are the reg changes and it works! if its a big problem for the most guys, i can provide a modded version for Qualcomm Devices. i need only few min. to edit.
I did a hard reset to get my phone working again. I don't know what it was that stopped the sound on my phone but I just have to make do with standard instead
Stopped? You mean the little breaks?
Oh ... this isnt a SRS WOW problem! it is possible you tweak your device with some registry settings? Breaks in the Audiostream have many reasons. the most are ...
Buffer in the Blue Tooth Stack are to high
Buffer in the File System are to high and the MicroSD Card go in the deep power down mode (this problem can you have, if you here a very large file and a big part can stay in your ram!)
you switch to the next track (this is the most reason)
process task doesnt become enough resources (possible ... )
generel powermanagment problems
all this bracks are only timing problems of many parts in your device!!!
No, not the pauses issue that others have referred to - after installing SRS WOW and making the registry changes I had no sound at all during phone calls. Music worked fine but when I called someone or when they called me then I couldn't hear them and they couldn't hear me.
I had to hard reset to fix the problem.
/Hass
Did anybody succeeded with xt7500 + srs wow over bluetooth ?
at least tried myself and at the moment no progress.
Before reg keys copy BT worked well and connected with
headset. After keys copy ppc BT menu indicted that wireless stereo are'nt
avaliable.
Is it nescessary copy over also same named settings ? example
both folders have before copy same named settings, like index, etc.
Good comments appreciated.

If you added bluetooth support to SRS and lost sound (or downloaded a cab with bluetooth support builtin) you need to follow the earlier instruction warnings, namely:
Preserve your Index, Prefix, and OldDriver settings so that they match what was previously specified in your BTA2DPSND registry folder (with the contents of olddriver matching whatever was in driver).
Hi,
My problem is different to most people's. My hearing is poor and I listen to a lot of talking books. I find the Leo too quiet and am actually still using my old HD as my main walkman.
That device was quiet for speech on busy rooads too, until I removed the imposed European decibel limit via the wonderful HD Tweak. This limit is, I have read, set in auiopara.csv as a hex value but not sure how? Or is it a registry key? If so, I can't find it!
The old HD Tweak runs on the Leo but although it says it is changing the volume limit is doesn't actually seem to do anything.
As a test I preamped PocketPlayer and ramped it right up. The volume just got more distorted (as expected) but not louder - just more compressed.
So if any kind souls know how to remove the volume limiter I'd be very grateful of any advice.
Cheers folks - Adam.
Does anyone else noticed this ?
The Alarm sound is too loud and cant be changed using the main volume !
Any idea why its like that or any fix for it !
Install reg editor
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume]
"MaxdBAtten"=dword:2D (2D = 45)
change the value from 45 to 70
It seems ChevronWP7 doesnt work anymore for me , is there anyother way to do it ?
I cant install anything on the phone other than MarketPlace apps
ChevronWP7 works for everyone, close all your dropbox, antivirus, itunes, firefox, iplayer etc...CNTRL ALT DEL windows task manager, kill selected programs.
after installing a reg editor, im glad my wp7 looks a bit more tinkerable
also theres some sort of hiss that apparently has been around since the high volume bug, but only noticed now when level 1 is much softer
this hiss reminds me of those cheap ass logitech speakers I have when theres no sound playing lol, i hope this can be fixed in the future...

I have tried this and performed a reset and the alarm volume is still a lot louder than any other system sounds. Is there something that I'm missing? or another method?
Same problem...
I have the same issue.
Out of the box the the main volume for music, ring and in call volume can be controlled via the main control but the notification and alarm volume is very high and seamingly independant from the main volume level.
After tweaking the registry value:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume\MaxdBAtten
... from 6 to 80 the overall system volume decreased including system notifications but the alarm sound is still much higher than all other levels. I never sleep through it anymore - which is a plus - but dropping it slightly would be nice.
Same thing here... I'm scared out off sleep That's not very plesent.
Any registry tweak for this situation?
For me this worked (for 50% sound volume):
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Alarm\InitVol = 50 (integer)

Great registry tweak!
The loud alarm sound was the last really annoying bug in the first release of the DFT WP7 ROM.
okay so someone guide me plaese, i lovw WP7 but im currently on andriod cuz of the volume issue & the camera.
how do i adjust the super ultra loud volume?
and how do i fix the loud alarm?
guide...
Make sure your pc has Zune 4 and .netframework 4 installed (.net is needed to run chevron and "TomXAPdeployer")
1. unlock your handset with chevron.
2. Use an "TomXAPdeployer" to install a registry editor to your handset. It's available on XDA if you serach a bit (i've attached below -just remove the ".zip" extension at the end of the filename).
3. Make the following registry chage to reduce the violume of your notifications:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume]
"MaxdBAtten"=dword:2D (2D = 45)
change the value from 45 to 70
4. Create this registry entry to reduce the volume of the alram:
[HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Alarm]
"InitVol = 50 (integer)"
You might need to reboot your phone just to tidy everything up.
The tweaks work well.
I did it the harder way? Went to marketplace and downloaded the Media Volume setting on the free trial. Works a treat for me.
Maybe I should try the easy way, of changing reg files tweeking things?? NOT.
Hmmm
I did looked at that App, as far as i can see it just chages the registry vlaues for you to suit certain profiles.
Seems like a nice app - but changing the reg values manually saves a few pence and avoids having to install another piece of software...
What ever way works best for you.

Is there any way to edit Mango Registry and adjust that effin Alarm Volume?
It's late now, need get up early tomo and goin back to WinMo cuz of that crap...

thanks mate.
Am I reading this right that people are complaining the alarm is too loud? It's an alarm, it's supposed to be loud.
