Hack to increase earpiece volume on JAM?

Has anyone found a hack to increase the speaker volume when holding the JAM to your ear. My hearing is not good at all...remember when mom used to say "turn that music down, you'll go deaf" turns out the old girl was right.
The volume on the JAM seems even lower to me since doing the latest ROM update. There must be a registry setting to increase the volume. I've not seen anything that jumps out, but I'm willing to bet that there is a way.

low earpiece volume
hi paragon,
I fully support your criticism about the poor audio level at max setting. There must be sufficient potential in increasing the audio level since there is the loudspeaker function available.
Now 2 people are waiting desperately for a solution by a honourable specialist which allows for an icrease of the basic volume setting.

Well, the speakerphone on this thing isn't actually isn't any louder than the regular earpiece!

did anyone find a solution to this one?? I hope it's not the old change the rom to 1.12? I'm happy so far with 1.06 apart from the low front speaker volume.

i'm using 1.12 and i struggle to hear ppl as well. i ran by this app earlier today on i forgot which site that says its the ultimate hack tool. i'll browse through my histor and see if i find it and figure out if it can increase the volume.

Unfortunately it's generally considered that it's not possible to activate speakerphone programmatically, which will mean that automatically switching to speakerphone isn't going to help too much.
I tried setting up a profile to turn the volume down to a reasonable level, and then activate speakerphone and use that as the earpiece. That way the screen doesn't get sweaty and you've got better sound straight to the ear. However, some people on the other end of the line say the recieved sound isn't so great. I don't see why it should be any worse. Play around with AGC in the settings panel. Anyone else care to report on this idea?

i found the app, its tweaks2k2net unfortunately nothing with earpiece volume... and about the using the speakerphone instead, i've had ppl complain that they cant hear my clearly as well.. is the mic also bad on this phone?

Microphone Gain Adjustment -- tweak or fix

Hello,
My Orbit2 microphone volume is too low. It's not easy for people on the other end to hear me, when I'm not want to scream into the mic.
Is there any tweak or adjustment just for the microphone?
I have the original ROM insatalled on my Orbit2, no update.
The HTC Equalizer does not bring any improvement!
No improvement with "Microphone AGC" On or OFF!
I changed the mic-position on my mouth during i speak. No solution!
The Registry entries, which was discussed in other threats are not in mine.
Writing these entries bring no solution too!
I speak from: hkey_local_machine/software/htc/audiogain (and audiogain 0 and 1 and 2) and der Entries.
When I speak by headset i don't have this Problems.
Can anybody help me to find a solution?
Thank you in advance
Orgshooter

you can adjust the mic and AGC using the ipaq_audio.exe
Although it was made for ipaq's, it seems to be compatible with HTC devices.

Loud Audiopara file from wife's X1-Vodacom South Africa

Hi all,
As promised in another thread (which I cannot find now), here is the Audiopara file from my wife's X1. Believe me when I tell you that all sounds are loud!
Let me know if it helps you.
Regards,
MAC

Going through it I can't see any difference between that and the stock VFUK one, mm maybe it is something else then.
Okay there are a few differences when run trhough Diff so I'll give it a test and see.

here's the differences, first line is the SA one, 2nd line is the UK one, sorry don't think I can Table data in this forum

has anyone tested the new file against the original ?

what's this actually? registry hack? a new file?

it's a replacement file that may make the volume louder ...

becareful the hack is actually trying to increase the gain which may distort the audio quality. It can be quite obvious (in terms of loudness at the expense of the quality) but it will magnify the audio quality problem when you use the earphone..

There is absolutely no distortion on my wife's X1, neither on the device nor the standard headset. I also bought her a Sony-Ericsson Bluetooth Stereo Headset over the weekend, and it works like a dream! We also tried a pair of other headsets we have at home, and all work beautifully.

Headphones definitely is louder, too loud for me on full volume, and that's from years of deafness due to bassplaying ;P
Ringvolume seems to be the same.

strange that you need the hack to increase the volume for headset.
I had to lower down the volume to 20% if I'm using media player with my ear phone, considering that I'm abit of tone-deaf, this is extremely loud

[BUG?] Microphone record volume level too hight causes noise in calls

Hey there i don't mind if anybody had this recognized too... but the Microphone level is quite too high!
to me as non dev it seems that the microphone on normal (not loudspeaker calls) is sensitiv as in loudspeakercalls it should be...
because that we have the heavy noises when calling! (not a big problem when using the loudspeaker mode because than you didn't talk directly to the mic and the voice didn'ts gets overpitched on the other side!
just try to call your self from a nother phone and then enable the loudspeaker mode... you didn't hear changes in mic. level ...
you want to report
maybe its a small and easy thing to change this?!

write kernel driver to control appropriate HW!!
HD2 as sensor for reduction noise,
it need implemented on Linux Kernel

i think the mic is just to sensitiv in normal calling mode (non loudspeaker mode)
... no need for the noise reduction sensor (are you sure that there a second mic to reduce noise..)
But i found a solution, just use the Headphones ... no Noise on the other side

But this is a trick and not a solution for everyday use. I think the Mic Level is to high, too. I think that is the problem that every one have with "echos" maybe?! Anybody can fix this to try it out?

Low Voice Calls when on a Wired Headset

When I'm using a wired headset to talk to someone on a call the volume is kinda low, I have it set max but its still pretty low, works fine on speaker or BT. Also the same wired headset works very loud when on a movie or music, just low when on a call.
Any fix to this?

Would like to know this aswell... Impossible to hear what people are saying when using the headset

I too find that headset and speaker volume are low. ( comparison to few other phones )
Cannot hear in a noisy environment.
Tried Volume + but does not seem to help .

I experienced this problem as well. Looks like this is a hardware problem (either the pin or the socket).
Try using a different headset - one without a mic. You sould see a significant gain in volume.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Its a hardware issue, swapped my phone for a new one today and dont have the problem anymore.
The service menu edit doesnt really help at all and the volume gain is minimal.
Anyone else having issues like this should request your carrier or samsung for a replacement. It only happens to a handful of phones.
I assume there are two seperate audio chips, the yamaha one for audio and another for voice calls??
Can anyone confirm?
