Hey does anyone know how to increase microhpone sensitivity and such.
I have the newest 2.23 rom and the speaker phone is terrible.
I have read the other posts but not clear on how to fix it exactly since its for older roms.
Thanks,
John W

I know this is a strange problem and people generally complain of the contrary, but even with the volume at the minimum I find the sound too loud when I'm in a conversation, anyone notice that ? Any fix ?
Running the Orange ROM.
try not removing the wax from your ears for a few days ahah
really, I don't have problems with that ...
Yes, I've noticed the same thing but haven't bothered to look for a solution.. yet
Last night I played a YouTube clip at full volume (Will It Blend - iPad). The speaker was loud and clear as it has always been for me.
Just this morning the speaker is suddenly much quieter -- volume is still the same. There seems to be no loss in sound quality, it's just a lot quieter. I noticed this when my ring was playing and while watching a few YouTube videos.
Is it possible I somehow damaged the rear speaker with the loud playback of blending metal? I tried flashing a ROM and it didn't help. Again there seems to be no loss in the fidelity of the speaker or its characteristics, just the overall volume level. It's very troublesome since at 100% now it's about the equivalent of 60% of what it was before.
Are there any registry settings I might want to check out to try to boost up the speaker, or just check if they somehow changed and made things quieter?
I am having the exact same issue .. flashed to a new ROM, then the volume is about half of what it usually is - no loss of fidelity, just pure volume.
Have done some searching but there are not a lot of answers, hoping someone with better skills than I can help out.

Figured it out.. it is actually the new ROM that caused the issue, silly me. Turns out the sounds were playing out of the earspeaker after I flashed to the new UniQ ROM. g.lewarne posted a .cab that resolves the issue.

lol - exactly what I was coming back to say.
I know at first many complained of speaker volume being too low. So developers did something. What exactly was done?
I have noticed 3 things with all builds I have tried:
1. When making/recieving calls the initial volume is random, either too soft or too loud. The volume indicator (one that comes up when volume buttons are pushed) never seem to relate to the actual volume level. Often the volume indicator is all the way down while the volume is all the way up. And in order to turn it down I have to adjust the volume indicator all the way up and then move it back down which works. Weird.
2. In-call audio sounds bad compared to WinMo. It sounds harsh, like its very slightly distorted. Its as if there are audio/eq settings in Android that don't match the hardware.
3. Finally, why this is my biggest concern, I blew out my outside speaker when on speaker phone in Android (there was a little pop sound in the middle of a call, I could not hear rings or anything after that, in WinMo as well). I am starting to see others report this. Luckily I got it replaced. But I am now scared to do speaker phone in Android. I have used speaker phone with WinMo plenty with no issues.
I used to have inconsistent sound issues in some builds, I used Louder Volume Hack from the market to modify the volume for headset, bluetooth and in call boost (Range) and it works pretty fine. As for the external speaker, I can't really say... I haven'T noticed.
I have this problem too! My speaker phone blew up while I was using Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3 rEVOlution. I'm pretty sad because I can't even get notifications anymore or rings. I have to leave my phone on vibrate. Speaker doesn't even work on winmo either. I tried task 29, new winmo rom, new android rom and tried to factory reset and nothing work. I'm pretty sure my speaker is done.
Froystone 2.3 on 7.6 the sound volume was great. No problems however going to evolution 2.3 I notice I struggle to hear on some calls.
i get great sound in skinnyevo by phireMOD. havent tried speakerphone though, doubt ever will after reading this thread.
I haven't had any issues with my speaker.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
My number 1 concern too.
I use the HD2 for navigation and playing around. I have a e71 for phonecalls.
The speakervolume with the latest kernels is an absolute dissaster for me.
I don't see any developers reacting on this issue reported by several people which frightens me a bit.
I dont mean to curb people from using their speaker phone. I am just one experience. But I wanted to see if anyone else had the the same problem. Particularly the not-so-great sounds issue in general.
What build was running when You had speaker failure ?
Try the [UPD][BUILD][01.11.10]|<<Mdeejay FroYo Sense Series>>|2.29.405.2\
Next Sense 2.7
Very loud. I had the same problem but this one is 1/2 volume just to be tolerable.

Ok, not one I tried but I hope this turns out to be bad luck and not a general problem !
You say others have had a similar problem ?
from a electronics point of view an impedance miss match speaker/amp would generally damage the amp before the speaker, speakers normally let You know if You are "over driving" them a good while before they burn out
I highly doubt the speaker loss is a general problem. But the less-than-stellar sound seems to be a general problem, and I am wondering if they could be related.
If I had the time I would dig into the builds myself to see how the sound settings are handled n such.
I just put XAndroid 2.2 (Froyo) on my Tilt2 and got it working - I always use the speaker phone when making calls... was very exited to see that it works - until I realized that when the speaker is on in a call - I can hear them - but they cannot hear me. If I turn off the speaker - we can talk again - but for some reason - speaker for me is mute for them... not sure where to post this as a possible bug.
I used this package: XDANDROID.2.2.1.AOSP.FRX03.21.11.10.FULL_PACKAGE
on an AT&T Tilt2 (Rhodium) running Windows mobile, I believe 6.5.
thanks for your patience - this is a big place - and it hard to find my way around.
updated my zimage and the speaker now works
thank you to everyone!
About to go and buy a carkit if it has?
Can you please ask questions regarding Steve's ROM in his thread then the forum will not get spammed with lots of questions that can be better answered in his thread thanks
What do you mean volume issue? If you mean that the bluetooth output is incredibly silent, then no, this issue has not been resolved. I was wondering if this was an existing error. Compared to my iPhone and my carkit, the volume on my streak is half as loud or worse. It's better to just use speakerphone, sadly.
It's (almost certainly) a firmware issue, but COULD be firmware working around a hardware failing...
I keep posting that something has changed between 1.6 (which was loud but kept breaking up on BT phone calls) and 2.1 (which doesn't break up but is far too quiet). But I never get any feedback on it, which I can only assume means no-one knows!!
We'll just have to see what the official 2.2 brings I guess, and see if it can be lifted out for Steve's ROM, perhaps?
I would like to preface this by saying I love all the Custom ROM's available, especially the Android 10 ones. But, I've noticed one problem shared by all the ROM's I've tested so far (almost all). It's that the mic quality is simply horrible on every single one of them. The first thing I do when I download a Custom ROM is to test the mic using the Google Recorder app and so far, no custom ROM has even come close the loudness and quality of stock. I wouldn't mind if the mic quality was bad, but that's not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that the mic VOLUME is extremely low. I have to shout while calling just so the other person can hear me. How do I fix this problem? The same problem cropped up a lot on Pie ROM's too. I've tried editing the mixer_paths.xml but I don't really know where to look.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone could help me. Cheers.

Use kernel with mic gain and increase it to your liking.
