I have i-mate PDA2. It is running the latest i-mate PDA2 ROM. Whenever I listen to music either from speaker or earphone by Windows Mobile or Pocket Music, I hear a parasitic "tick" sound in random but frequent manner. This noise results with discontinuities in music. There is no other program running and there is 40 MB of free program memory.
Whenever I use the phone with either earphone or speaker there is no such noise.
Whenever either of the programs I mentioned are OFF, there is no such sound.
Any Idea?
Regards.
I didn't notice such a Problem with my PDA, but this might be because of the fact that I haven't heard any music with it yet :wink:
What music player, sound format and bitrate do you use?
I can just guess that it might have something to do with the processor settings. Did you tried to set it to "Turbo mode" in the settings?
Hi Dolphin,
Thank you for the reply. After trying many things, including the turbo mode as well, I hard reseted the device, installed the very same programs and the problem is gone. But it took my another 4 hours to install and set everything.
Is there any way to improve the sound on the loudspeaker of the device??
I used to have a Blueangel before and I used to have a program that could adjust the bass and treble of the speaker.
Its just that music sounds aweful through the speaker, its so 'tinny' hardly any bass and the speaker ressonates like **** on loudest because there is so much treble.
Perhaps someone knows of some registry settings I could play with??
Maybe i'm being fussy as I used to have an A1000 also (vibe sync is goooood!!)
Cheers
S.K.
I have noticed that if you have the speaker up loud it makes the sound go weird. A fix would be great.
Hiya, my wifes Atom has developed a problem with the output through the headset.
While listening to MP3's it's filtering out bass (well the effect is like its turning all songs into Karaoke the low voices disappear!).
Using the phone speakers the audio is fine.
Pushing the headphones in slowly, with no clicks you can hear reasonable audio in both earphones but quietly - low levels are audible.
First and second click, one ear piece audio, with distortion.
In all the way - both ear pieces give audio at full volume but without the bass and some distortion.
So, things I've tried so far. Different headset, same prob. Adapter and normal earphones, same prob. Installed different audio software (tried mort and gsp), same prob. Enabling and disabling the equaliser. Adjusting the volume, same. Soft reset, same. Restore to previous backup, same. Hard reset, same. Opened it up and checked all plugs, and cleaned the headset socket with some isopropyl, same problem.
Anything else I can try? The service centre for these things is on the other side of the country and this is her only phone/media player (it would take minimum 2 weeks an a stack of dough for a service repair).
Firstly, you could provide us with a bit more information on the handset itself? say....
Model and ROM?
Also what kind of handsets you are using?
The stock wired headset? or a third party headset?
name of the media player?
Hi, i ve have the same problem since yesterday , maybe i used some shortcut keys - had a lot of windows opened, now i canot hear people talking in a movie or mp3 - karaoke efect, if i push headpshones out just a little bit the sound is almost normal. I have this problem on my laptop and am using USB headset-- its the same problem with or without USB modul.
many thanks for help
ps: first i made system restore then i reinstalled the codecs - klightmegacodecpack , no help
When I talk on this phone, the sound is very poor... Although not too loud (like other complaints) but the sound crackles at high frequencies... The speakerphone is even worse...
Is anyone aware of some tweaks to improve communication sound on this phone?
Can AudioBooster be set up to work with the phone's sound not only the music player? Any other options ???
Thank you in advance.

I think the high volume on this phone is artificially boosted over what it's meant to be, i.e. HTC have modified the audiopara (or something like that) in the Windows folder to try and boost the speakers sound over what it's meant to be.
(Something that ROM coookers figured out on the Diamond I think).
I think, maybe someone can reduce those values back to normal? The speaker will be a little quieter, but it won't crackle or distort as much.

Which radio do you recommend? I have Leo_RADIO_2.07.50.27_2 and a terrible sound while on the phone.
Sound is to loud, impossible to lower volume enough. Much distortion even at lowest volume (which still is to loud). Bad sound in cable handsfree and BT handsfree.
Soundquality while playing music on the other hand is perfect in speaker, handsfree and BT handsfree.
Suggestions?
Since sound is often a pretty subjective matter, so I'd like to interject that the phone network only transmits from around 300 Hz to 3,000 Hz. Therefore the sound of a voice over your phone will never sound as clear and nice as it should, let alone like the 192 kbps-MP3-file you are playing
If it's worse compared to other phones however it's, as stated above, likely a problem with the radio. I use the 2.08.50.08_2 from [REF]The HTC HD2 Radio ROM Thread and have a quite decent quality.
I agree totally - if it sounds good or bad is individually. But, the sound quality in my HD2 is far worse than in my 5 years old SonyEricsson, and when I borrowed a Nokia the other day I was surprised how good (clear, crisp, distorsion free) a cell phone can sound.
I have a lot of distorsion and all too loud sound. Often I have to hold my phone 20 cm away from my ear just to avoid getting half deaf..
Thanks for the tip, I'll try the 2.08.50.08_2 Radio and hope for a better sound
you can try this hotfix...worked very well @my hd2
i got this from another forum.
little info: some users said that the soundlevel is now always set up to 100%...but try it on your own!

Thanks, trying it now, will report back after tomorrow's hardcore testing at work..
Return it if you can...
I had Nokia E71 before and it's speaker is fo another level better than HD2... BUT, question is: when I'm gonna use speakerphone on my HD2? ... almost never
Seems better, but a little to subjective at the moment. Will keep trying and report back!
Definitely better after the patch. Quite good actually. I have not seen any side effects yet, only clear sound, and better volume.
Thanks for the hotfix!
Will try it on my colleague's phone also now.
sound quality
I used the hotfix as well but it appears to have made no difference whatsoever to the quality of sound during calls , so my phone is going back to htc again and if it returns with the same issues i will ask for a replacement as due to the ammoun of posts on here this is a major flaw in the phone and a highly irritating one too , i love this phone but the audio quality during calls is appalling in comparison to all my previous phones .
After a couple more days of testing I found out that the patch gave no effect at all. BUT: I found out another thing: Even though the system volume is at lowest according to the meter, if you increase, you actually lower the volume. So, if you during a call first increase and then decrease the volume, it gets acceptable. Still to loud though.
So, it seems like what HTC really should do is to get the dialer use the sound mixer properly. Today it is obviously oversteering which creates distorsion.
this is a war we won't win

I've bought my HD2 back in Dec the 11th and since then I've been in contact with HTC about fixing this problem. They've given me a debug tool to run on my device, sent the logs twice and so far they've done nothing about it. I've given up. What I do for outgoing calls, while it rings I turn the volume all the way up and then all the way down before the other party answers. doing this you get a decent sound. Can't do much about the incoming calls,
As far as flashing different radios and roms... I've flashed about 30time already. tried all the possible radio/rom combinations but with only slight different results. Nothing to brag about!
the fix I attached helps a little bit!
If anybody finds and cure let us all know! please!!!!!
Any hacks or tips for increasing volume? I have tried disabling the Dolby settings and it does sound a little louder but not much. I was not expecting great sound from the onboard speakers, but the headphones are very low. Any suggestions ? Thanks in advance !
my guess your original video sound is low. i don't have a better way. sometimes when i convert some videos with my converter, there is a setting to increase the video sound. i don't know whether you have the same experience.
Hi, Ruteral
i really has the same experience with you, it solve the volume problem, but there is something wrong on the video,it is printed on a logo, i just try a free version of foxreal's video tool. maybe this is their safeguard to make us buying.
which tool do you use? does it a free one?
