On my 8525 with WM6 if I play an MP3 with media player and the volume is at 100% it is plenty loud. If I adjust the volume down to 5%, there is only a minuscule difference. I would expect it to become quieter. This happens with the internal speaker or my headphones.
If I use TCPMP I can adjust it's volume slider and it works correctly: from quiet to loud.
Is there a fix for WMP so that the volume works correctly? If I want to listen to music at work with WMP I have a choice of real loud or loud.
Just want to find out whether this is normal.
There is a hiss during mp3 playback on my TyTN. Using the audio manager and WMP, the hissing is there on mp3 playback even when you have the program and system volume at zero.
In coreplayer and TCPMP the hissing is only when you have the volume above zero, and the hissing doesn't get louder or softer depending on volume. So its not the quality of the song. Tested with both mp3 and WMA.
Note that I am using wired headphones (Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3) through a HTC y-splitter, but I know its not the splitter or headphones because its the same through the phones speaker.
Its not a terrible sound, but you know its there. Is this something TyTN owners have just learnt to live with or is there some sort of software fix? Or is the solution to just turn the volume up so you can't hear it?
So do people just live with this background noise?

Yes - i reckon so - i searched and searched for a solution to the hiss I'm experiencing with a pair of super.fi pro 5's.
Also the minimum volume is too high with Pocket Music Player (unless you turn the preamp down - which reduces the volume without reducing the hiss!), WMP, mortplayer and HTC audio manager.
I get best results with tcpmp.
Still ... the audio is better than my plantronics stereo bluetooth headset even with the best a2dp setting.
Super.fi's are superb played through a mini disc player!
If you find a solution please post it!!
Hiss...we don't have no stinkin hiss!
Try using a player called Pocket Music. I have virtually no audible hiss. It also has a really nice graphic eq similar to Winamp that allows full control including hiss reduction if you pull back the upper most slider about 4db below center line.
I am using VP3G 3.2 and I run my bitrates at 128, or 320. Could you possibly be encoded below 128?
Convert is correct, I had to tamp the preamp gain way back in Pocket Music to have a good range of volume control too.
What phones are you using?

I get hiss and I'm encoding at between 192 - 256 kbps. Malkatraz mentioned the phones above - not sure about the splitter.
For what it's worth there seems to be no difference between tcpmp0.81RC1 Beta and Pocket Music Player except tcpmp is free (the equalizer was disabled in the freeware Pocket Music Player i downloaded).
PS. the attenuator that comes with the Super.fi 5 pro's gets rid of the hiss but the sound is slightly flatter.
Has anyone got any tricks for boosting the media playback volume?
I commute so spend the trip watching movies etc. I am using Rockplayer which plays everything I throw at it however the volume is not quite there. Its about 1/2 of what I expect.
Options are
Way to boost the base system volume?
A different media player which has audio booster. (CorePlayer does)
External app to improve things? Sound booster?
Get quality headphones. 30$ will get you good ones at best buy. My Hd2 with android sounds low but when i plug in those sound proof headphones, i hear nothing except for the phone and loud too.
I'm trying to find out if there is a way to reduce the volume output of HTC Streaming Media Player. even on the minimum system volume it is often louder than I wish to listen to it.
Hi there,
as we all know there are issues with the volume/audio gain on our HD2 with WP7 which can be partly cured with the cab fixes or via registry.
One problem for me is that the music player via headphones is sooo quit that I have to raise the overall volume to >25. Normal notification sounds and stuff are way to loud then even with the above mentioned volume fixes.
Is there any fix to equalize the music sounds and the overall volume? I like to listen to music in the car via the headphone jack connected to my radio but I do not like navigon yelling into my ear much louder than the music ^^.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Neo
