Touch HD incredibly loud through headphones?

Anyone find it incredibly loud through headphones both system sounds and the touch flo music player? I have to have it all the way down to 1 bar in the system volume control.
Funnily enough coreplayer will play at reasonable volumes.
EDIT: maklik found a great solution. Volume reduced for headphones but still plays loud if not plugged in

u may edit the registry file:
Local_machine\software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\SavedHandSetVolume
Change DWORD to 0
plug in the headphone and adjust the system volume to 2-3%
u may find that if you once plug headphone into your mobile the volume will adjust to previous volume you saved, if you plug it out, the volume will restore to normal
question2,
the music too loud, you can edit the registry to fix it too
Local_machine\software\HTC\AudioManger_eng\Config\music_player_volumn
Change the DWORD to 10 or lower and soft-reset the mobile
the music will become lighter in the TouchFLO3D music player
sorry for poor eng, i come from HK ~ cheers

Usually phones are to quiet. that is an odd problem.

I'm having the same problem when listening streming radio station with my active Bose headphones. I have Media Player down to 5% volume but it is still quite loud. CorePlayer is ok, but that doesn't play the streaming format my station is using.

I'm finding it ok.
But you can use HD Tweak or Config Tool to lower the volume in the reg settings, that way it should be fine.

Have the same loud sound through the headphones even at lowest level. I prefer it after having a quietish Polaris. I think I remember seeing all the settings at 100 in the registry files so may be it is undoable?

Wow, are you kidding? I find it absolutely not loud at all!!... But I have a german (europe) version, so perhaps its the limitation... Does anyone know how to get this limitation away?? Please, I really searched a lot, but didn't find anything with my keywords and my fantasy is out now... So, I think there must be a cab or something like this, if anyone knows it, please post it or give me the link^^ greez, cad

@Cadenza: You should be able to remove the limitation using "HD Tweak"
Same problem here though: Sounds too loud for me ...

Thank you very much for your answer!!! Its true, I didn't try until now HD-tweak, only Advanced config and this doesn't have this option. So thanks a lot, I'll try this^^ haha, I want it loooud ok, now btt, I'm sorry that I post so offtopic, I really don't want to disturb you here but thanks a lot!!! Greez, cad^^

I gotta agree its very loud even at the lowest setting. I've just installed HD Tweak and see no way to lower my sound as the EU limitation is already active.

It's a funny problem to have, it is usually the opposite with anything you buy in the EU, maybe i can sue htc if i go deaf . If it makes any difference I use in ear earphones (otherwise you can't hear anything on London underground) could that be the cause?
Figure there mut be a registry setting somewhere to control this.

I also think it's way too loud, even though I've got a danish version, which should be limited... I dunno.
In wmp it's no problem though, cause it has it's own volume control.
HD tweak only allows to up the volume, not to lower it. Anybody got an idea?

LOL
Just tried mine and about blew my ears off! LOL

funny
Lol that were my thoughts exactly when I used my earphones for the first time! I only tested it on my own sennheisers though, not on the stock phones. Can anyone confirm that I can change this using that Tweak tool?

It's even worse through my UE Super.Fi 5 Pro as it approximately double the loudness compared to standard headphones. I hardly ever go above level 1 or 2.
I can't imagine what it would be like at level 15... Probably blow up my headphones.
Level 1 is not so bad during the day with lots of external noise but at night it's too loud!

no fix for this?

I thought s2p would help me get around this but I agree its still too loud... I like to sleep to music and this verges on painful on all but the very lowest setting... I've switched to a headset I use on my computer for voip calls that has a volumn control but I would much prefer a solution that allows me to use my Bose earbuds

using wmp solves the problem, as it has it's own volume control. But I want to use the htc player in tfl3d.

Sounds like you have a faulty Touch HD. I would backup your stuff and try a hard reset to see if this issue still persists.
No way I can turn to max volume. I would go deaf...

Hi Guys, I also have UE super.fi 5 pro's and find the HD stupidly loud! The only way I can listen to music before I go to sleep is to have the volume on the lowest setting and turn all the equaliser settings down to minimum! Any Help yet?!

Headphone louder

I used my X1 to listen mp3 via headphone plug (3.5mm plug not Bluetooth) and Parrot Party Black (http://www.parrotshopping.com/fr/p_parrot_item.aspx?i=164978). I've in,creased sound everywhere: from Windows panel, from Windows palyer, and from the Parrot. But it's still not enough loud.
How can I do to increase volume of the headphone? Thx

Use a Software called MP3Gain to increase the volume of the Song files in your computer and then add them to Xperia.
which headphones are u using?

I uses this speaker Parrot Party Black with 3,5 mm plug.
Good idea. I know MP3gain.
Do you have an other way but to listen web radio, MP3gain doesn't work.

U should try other equipment also ..maybe the speaker isnt loud enuff?

I have the same problem, and I don't think the equipment is to blame. My earbuds will blow my head off on other devices, but the Xperia just doesn't seem to be putting out enough volume.
I know there are some nanny state regulations in Europe that require manufacturers to restrict their max volume, but is this really what SE has done on their international X1i? Seems a shame that the rest of the world has to suffer from European bureaucracy.
Max volume must be controlled in the registry somewhere. I've experimented with several suggestions elsewhere in these forums but have yet to find the answer.

I use philips sport-earplugs for running and I listen to MP3s with my phone during that (the internal GPS draws me the route I was running and measures the time -excellent sport-device ).
Most of the time i have the volume at 50 to 60% and it's very loud, 80% and more would definitely blow my eardrums out after short time.
So I cannot complain about the volume, it's awesome and approximately as loud as my Sony MW-S202 music player with the same earplugs.

Which app are you using to track your route?
I had one on my n82, it could also be ported to google map to show you your route in sattelite view.
thanks

I use smartrunner http://www.smartrunner.de/pages/ which works fine with google maps. The software is free and runs great, but uses 640x480p, so on the bottom the screen is white which is no problem. But it's a german version, don't know if there is an english one outthere too.

This Parrot is noud enough but not withe the X1.
I will try via Bluetooth.

to get it louder you need to edit audiopara file, please make sure you read the mods sticky at the top of the forum before posting new threads on same old subjects
a quick search would reveal that there are several threads already on the volume issues.
theres another freeware gps app that works well if also only vga, in the diamond forum, called gps cyle computer. i use this quite a lot, very simple stylish and effective

With BT, my Black Party works well.
Now I'll try to replace the audiopara file by this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459437&highlight=audiopara

Headset and rintone problem - please post your experiences

Alright, don't know when this started but I currently have Duttys HGR1.
The problem is that when I have the standard headset (that came with the TD2) the ringtone is played in the headset, so if I have the phone on my desk I can barely hear when there's an incoming call. Worse is, that if the phone is in another room I can't hear it at all.
I have tried different headsets but all with the same problem. When I unplug the headset it's all working as it should.
Can you please post your experience on this, how's it working for you?

I haven't experience it with my TD2, but for me it's OK like that. It was just like that on my previous phones, Nokia, SE...
Logicaly is if you have attached headset that headset should be on head and listening, not disturbing anyone arround.
This is my thinking, I would like to read others also.

uhm...just unplug your headset while sitting on your desk? or any time you AREN'T using it...seriously, the effort of plugging in a mini USB jack is...minimal...to say the least.
I use bluetooth stereo headphones that have such good ear buds, that if my phone WERE to ring loud and not via the headphones, i wouldn't hear it!

Thank's for you input guys.
Might sound like a non-issue but to me it is since I have to connect and disconnect the headset maybe 20 times a day and eventually the usb-port will give up.
I could understand that this is the way it's supposed to work, but before upgrading the ROM (I think that was when this changed) it worked just like I wanted it to.
So my hope is that there is a registry setting for this. If it is, please share! That would really help me out!

Leban,
I can sympathise with you. I have a similar problem. In my car, my car cradle is an FM transmitter and charger. Therefore, my TD2 thinks it is a headset, so all sound is sent through the transmitter. This is great if I am listening to music through the car radio, but often I am not. Therefore, the only way I can tell if there is an incoming call or email or SMS is by looking at the screen. I would like the sound for these notifications to come through the external speaker even if it is connected to the transmitter.....
We all use our phones differently don't we, so Drag-on, don't assume we are all like you.

i completely agree, i just couldn't think of a practical, real-life example where one would need to change where the ring came out of. You did that for me
I am quite sure it IS do-able...i'll ask around.

Nothing new here? Would be really great if this was possible to change!
This "feature" drives me crazy
Another example is when I'm in my car, if I have the phone enxt to me I can't hear the ringing. And NO, I don't want to sit for hours in my car with the headset in my ears

European Sound Limitation

Hi,
As usual, we have a sound limitation in Europe that make this mobile phone unusable to listen music in the metro.
Do you have some idea to remove this limitation ?
Modify a file, registry ?
Thanks for your help.

Probably, and take care of other passengers in the train
who are forced to eavesdrop on your Susan Boyle playlist
But .. .seriously... this limit has to be removed if we can, because we can.

It's a reg setting but HD TWeak from the Touch HD still works to set this. I used it to remove the limitation as my hearing isn't great.
I have set mine to maximum.
Music playback still seems much quiter than on the HD, and I'm comvinced it occasionally reduces volume randomly!

Humm, interesting. DOes anyone know the actual registry key(s) which need to be modified, and how? I try to avoid installing tweaking software when I can just go into regedit and change things myself...
TIA

Use proper headphones and keep your noise to yourself.

in case you are one of those persons that walk around playing their ****ty music on their phones speaker ... then go and DIE!
In case you use earphones, get some in-ear plugs, that should cover the problem of noise around you.

I would be careful of in-ear monitors as they called, I have used quite a few mainly ultimate ears ue10 pro. Its been a couple of years, but I am now starting to suffer from serious problems with my right ear. So yes do take very good care of your ears cause trust me when the problems start, you will long for the day when you had perfect hearing.

I have this issue, but wouldn't really call it an issue. If I've stopped listening to music, I turn off music then take out earphones. For me its not a big deal personally
