I would like to know if there is a way to hack the registry to increase / boost the phone headset volume. Please note I am not talking about the "speakerphone" volume, I just find that when talking to someone on the phone headset it seems alot softer than the Wizard that I had before, even when the volume is set to max.
i would also like to know how to do this. i feel like my wizards ear piece volume was deafening.. but on the tytn its so incredibly low
I don't have a problem with the headset, but even on the highest volume setting the phone's earpiece speaker is a bit too quiet.
Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks.
Same hear, just to darn low at the highest volume setting. I see there are fixes for other HTC phones but nothing specific for this phone. Has anyone on this board managed to hack the registry and find an effective fix to increase the earpiece volume?
i'd love this as well - just bought one of these :

and the volume level is VERY disappointing. my wizard used to have an acceptable volume level but i can't imagine being able to hear music on my tytn with traffic around. :-(
This may sound totally ridiculous to most of the posts that I found regarding volume on the Hermes (most problems being volume too low), but for me, it's just the opposite. I just got my 8525 and ran the SIM unlock and updated the radio to 1.51. Then, when I went to listen to mp3s via headphones, I realized that the volume was too loud and that the system volume barely affected it. When it was near 0, it would still be too loud, then when I lowered it all the way, it would just be muted.
I know that I can use an in-line volume adapter to lower it, but it's another adapter to connect to the one that already has to convert the mini-USB to 3.5mm and would just make it bulkier.
Are there any software / registry hacks to lower or increase the volume sensitivity control?
the OEM headphones have a volume control on the side, is that not working?
I'm using an adapter to use my own headphones. I tried looking for an adapter that had a volume control, but haven't found one yet. Anyone find one that does that?
emmfan i have the same problem as you. I also have the USB adapter (htc speedport>3.5mm, standard usb, htc speedport) and using my 3.5mm headphones is just WAY too loud. even the default system sounds are painful to listen to, so that throws listening to music out the window. The strange thing is thatI vaguely remember this NOT being a problem... either way, I have the same symptoms as you. The system volume sliders do extremely little in way of volume changing, too... I'd really like if there was some way to fix this, because now my investment in the Adapter is going to be a waste..
Hmmm, I don't remember if the WIZARD had a 2.5 or 3.5 connector but it had a VOLUME CONTROL. Maybe (in worst case with an additional adapter from 3.5 to 2.5) it will work properly?
I ended up getting an additional adapter for volume control (http://www.amazon.com/Shure-EA650-C...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1193240874&sr=8-1), which made the cable ridiculously long. Too bad they don't have a mini-USB to 3.5mm adapter with a built-in volume control. I also noticed that I lost some sound quality when I used the volume control adapter.
I finally decided to try a bluetooth headphone adapter and went with the i.Tech Clip R35 (http://www.itechdynamic.com/en/products_spec.asp?cid=2&pid=02030). The sound wasn't so good with winmo5, but now that I upgraded to winmo6, it's a lot better. And no more unnecessary adapters and cables, plus AVRCP makes controlling music even easier.
Sorry to bring up an old post, but haven't been able to find a fix yet. Anyways, I am having the same volume problem. The system volume is on the next to the last click, and media player is down to 5%, and it's still way too loud. Any help? I updated my 8525 to Schlap's 4.22 if that helps.
could that be some kind of bug? i cant imagine what its like at 100% with max system volume. lol..
i listen to music with in-ear earphones via usb-3.5mm adapter too.
i put the system volume to level 3, sounds beautiful to me.. neither loud nor soft. and volume of incoming calls/sms tones are just nice too..
the volume of music doesnt change much by adjusting the volume of the media player, its more dependent on the system volume.
and i found out that if your system volume is, for example, 50%, the volume of the media player is actually capped at 50%. that means there is no difference if you increase the player's volume beyond 50%. (applys to htc audio manager, not sure about wmp)
btw im using softbank x01ht with official htc rom
does your media player app have an equalizer/pre amp function (TCPMP) you can turn that down or disable the EQ making the volume lower

I've been using windows media player, but also tried HTC music player. Same thing for both. I have also tried the equilizer both on and off, and different settings. No difference, what so ever.
Since I received a 'extUSB --> 3.5mm' converter today I've the same problem.
Just to loud even when everything is put on the lowest setting possible.
Anyone a solution?
After upgrading to Windows Mobile 6, this doesn't seem to be a problem. But most of the time I am using Bluetooth headphones which also work much better in winmo6.
Not here.
Sadly, I have the same problem
Playing a song on Windows Media Player with left volume slider down to 1 click and volume of player at 5%. Still way too loud for office use without headphones.
I just tried it with TCPMP - the same song - and volume contorl knob for TCPMP fixed the problem. Anyone know why Media Player is doing this?
I've received today a new headset I ordered for my Hermes. It's the HTC U110 Headset Audio Adapter with 3.5 mm audio jack.
The headset has no volume control and now the volume is way too loud (and noisy).
Is there already a solution for this?

Hi,
I bought a Seidio Audio Adapter - miniUSB To 3.5mm - with One-Touch/Mic at the XDA store. It works great and I have no problem listening to music with my sony headset since you can adjust the volume with audiomanager. However when I am on a phone call it is super loud and I cannot adjust the volume. I looked around for a registry tweak but they usually talk about BT or speakerphone. What I want is the actual volume on the wired headphone. Can someone help? I am going deaf here!
Bump. This info is much needed. Please help.
So it didn't come with an inline manual volume adjuster? Sorry if that sounds like a ridiculous question. I'm looking for an adapter too and this is the first time I realized this might be an issue.
So to sum this up if you change the incall volume of the phone it doesnt change the output volume in your earphones? This seems rather weird to me because usually changing the output volume of the phone shouldnt allow the earphones to get louder tones...correct me if I'm wrong.
Hi all,
as I dont like the sound quality of the htc headset that came with the jade I bought an adapter mini-usb to 3.5mm to fit my in-hear sony headset.
Now I have a problem that at the minimum volume level the person on the other side of the line during a call is actually still quite loud and I can not find any way to set the lowest value lower!
While listening to music now is excellent, as with windows media player I can decrease the volume as much as I want, I can not do the same with phone calls!
I looked into registry tweaks but they didnt do the job.
Anybody had the same issue...?
Thanks for any help
Get some earphones with a built in volume control.

So. it's about the person at the receiving end hearing it loud, not you. What you can control is the volume of your earpiece, not the other end. You cannot control the speaker unit. So you have to speak more softly or put the mic a little bit further away.
is the volume for all these phone just to low when using headphone?
i use monster turbine and even at max volume listing to zune player on this phone its just to low i want the volume to be way louder
anyone else have this issue?
im coming from iPhone 4 and thats the only good thing ill give that apple does is there headphone volume output is loud as hell i just hope this phone can do the same with maybe a software update -_-
I haven't used any other headphones besides the set that came with the phone and those were plenty loud.
I've tried several different headsets to get desired results, it's weird but some headsets don't have the same performance as on the iphone.
