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

Motorola HT820 + Trinity
Would the Motorola HT820 headphones work on Trinity?
They're working fine for me; the only tweak I did was to disable the JointStereo so I have proper stereo audio - there are a million threads about that around here, it's in the registry. I have the SYN0948D model of the HT820, which I think is the newest, for previous ones there's a flash firmware update that may fix some skipping.
oh! Mind answering some questions for me? How are they for music? Sound good? Any major problems? I use TCPMP for music.... will the controls work that are on the headphones themselves? How about the battery life (of the phone and the headphones?). It seems the headphones also have a mic? Does that work with the phone? Id appreciate if you could answer these for me... thanks!
The sound quality for music is certainly not what I'd call perfect. Put it this way: I attached them using the supplied 2.5 -> 3.5 mil connector to my high-end audio card in my PC, and they sounded pretty good for headphones of their size. However, when running over Bluetooth there is a noticeable drop in audio fidelity. I don't know whether to attribute that to the Trinity or to the headphones, but I suspect the Trinity. Maybe it's downmixing the audio? There is a lot of A2DP tweaking you can do to find the best balance between audio quality and skipping/reception; I left it fairly close to the defaults for now, and I'll probably play with it more later. The mic works with the phone and the audio quality for voice calling is outstanding. It sure makes a difference to hear a person in both ears - when I use them I almost never have to ask a person to repeat themselves. I haven't heard what anyone else sounds like when calling from the Ht820s, but friends say that they can hear a slight echo depending on the room I'm in. Makes sense because the room I usually call from is a smallish office/den with wood floors and lots of echoes. I am going to fire up TCPMP right now to try to play a song with it. I've been using PocketMusic but it sucks balls... Plays the song just fine, but it doesn't seem to support the next/prev track buttons at all. I tried to map them in the Hot Keys section, no dice. PocketMusic and WMP both seem to work with the buttons, for what that's worth. If you need anything else, just PM me like last time.
Yah I tried pocketmusic... it blows. I use tcpmp for everything. I suppose I can just use the controls on the phone itself. I currently use the shure buds.... I hope Im not too used to the great quality ive been getting on them.
[Update] Earpiece and voicecall quality
How do you find the Earpiece sound quality and voicecall performance compared to previous owned phones? I think too many people where unhappy with the device because of the phone performance in general. I can't understand how such basic features where not treated as top priority specs. It's " Who cares " typo sorry, not possible to edit the poll. Thanks EDIT: FLashed Radio 2.06 and voicecall quality is better but STILL CRACKLES
i find the sound quality is weird with this phone i.e. rear speaker = loud but tinny, and seems that anymore than 70% volume and the software overpowers the actual speaker and causes distortion headphones = ok sound quality very vocal friendly, quite nice for ambient vocal tracks, soft and fluff sound, i used shure se310 headphones so some of the best around call earphone = very bad, even with the volume very low it still distorts when people talk, im not sure why this is and i thought it was a damaged speaker but its as if the sound is to harsh with the high feq.... so only call or accept calls from people with deep voices lol
It isn't necessarily the ear piece that's the problem, it's the VOLUME being pumped through it. The volume on my HD2 is ridiculously loud so I'm not surprised that my speaker is popping and distorting!
i went with the "it could be better" option i always find myself switching to the speaker, then going back (repaeat cycle over and over with each call just trying to find an easy way to make out what people are saying. a couple of mods would ultimately fix it, but im happy that the speaker is loud. Which kinda means its got the Umpgh i use the headphines for music, i switched into an inear buds. it really makes a difference

Which kinda means its got the Umpgh Click to expand... Click to collapse Yes but it's TOO LOUD. I wouldn't mind if it went loud but I also want it to go quiet too, it's way too loud at the lowest volume setting. I can't use the speakerphone at all, it is destroying itself with distortion. I actually can't use the earpiece close to my ear either, due to criminally high volume. I use the earphone as a speakerphone - I kid you not. I don't know if it's just certain batches but my HD2 would be suitable for almost-deaf people.
Actually the keypad tones also are WAY TOO LOUD! I was in a meeting and it was like everyone was trying to find out where the was sound coming from... I had to turn it off.. a shame..
Not to forget also the pain the earpiece causes during phone calls. This thing is really sharp !!!
In terms of HTC phones, I've had the Kaiser and Raphael before the HD2, and I must say that the call quality on the HD2 is the best of the three! This wold be both through the speaker on the back (speaker phone) and through the earpiece. I agree that the initial volume was way too loud, however there is a tweak somewhere on the board where you edit a registry entry for initial call volume, and that helped tremendously. So I'm actually quite pleased.
People who made the HD2 @ HTC Tech.. were a little bit deaf I think.. Bad speaker quality because of distortion and popping

voicecall is pretty bad because of the random noise similar to radio static. This nosie is particularly noticed when no one is speaking.

I am not really bothered by the noise but by the poping and cracking sound the earpiece makes.
The registry tweak did not work for me as I expected I will have to wait for a hotfix if any... I hope HTC will consider this issue...

Click to collapse have had the phone for only about a week but no issues with random noise. I do find that the loudspeaker distorts @ max volume, but just one notch below that and it's ok. think the Touch HD has better earpiece / loudspeaker, but the HD2 can output higher volume on loudspeaker compared to the HD, so that's a plus. maybe it's an issue with your phone operator?
For people who experience the background noise - Have you tried (if possible) both GSM and UMTS/HSPA (3G)?...

Htc hd2 sound quality
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.

Thank you in advance. Click to expand... Click to collapse 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.

hi i have the same problem , maybe ill try lower the sound down a bit? or opfully there might be a patch to fix this ?
same problem here
same problem... crackling noise in speaker. Many seem to have this :/
I have same problem and I hope someone will fix this. Any news?
YES Change radio!!! without 576MB RAM fix
sound quality same here the sound quality from both the earpiece and loudspeaker is very poor quality ihave had my phone replaced 3 times and its the same on all , very dissapointing on a phone of this quality bearing in mind its main function is as a phone !!
Zenk_77 said: YES Change radio!!! without 576MB RAM fix Click to expand... Click to collapse 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!

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.

Click to collapse 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!!!!!
Omnia 7 Audio
Does anyone know whats up with the Omnia 7's audio quality? I've done the thing to make it louder, but it's still quieter than most other things and the quality is really terrible. I'm using Beats Solo HD and they sound perfect through my PC, and a 6 year old iPod Shuffle, but not through my Omnia? Is it just bad in general, or is it because I'm using the RTM firmware? (driver issues?) I read that other thread, but other than someone coming in saying that the audio is perfect on his Omnia 7, there really isn't much there. It is not my headphones, and despite it being slightly louder now, changing profile 5 on the phone doesn't seem to help.
i have the same issue as well... the earphone volume is too low to me. there is some solution on the internet, someone stated that, it can be fixed by changing some value in the registry of the phone, but it seems complex. i think i would wait for the official mango, and change the value myself.

Click to expand... Click to collapse sorry, not registry value. the volume value can change in the "Diagnosis". But there is some risk inside. Someone stated that, changing the value could make the handset not working properly. It might cause some unknown noises from the speaker even the phone is not operating for the media. i will try to get some more infomation for safety modify.
Check this thread, you'll find info on how to turn the volume up. Just play with the settings until you feel comfortable... it's not that hard! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857304
I did do all that, but it just doesn't seem to make a substaintial amount of difference - its slightly louder but the quality is still really poor. Maybe the headphone jacks just crap in it? All I know is, I feel silly for buying a years Zune Pass.
Just play with the settings. If you set them in a 'wrong way', you'll get distortion. I had to try a dozen settings until I got what I wanted: a boost in the volume w/o distortion. Give it a try!
Omnia has probably some serious bug in design - whenever you initialize audio output, it generates much "white noise"- IMO quality loss is our payment for miniaturization :-(
Note 4 - Increase Max Volume for headphones?
Hi, Just wondering if anyone has been able to adjust the default max volume level for the Note 4, mine just needs to go up a couple of notches louder, I know this has been done on the Note 3 by adjusting some values in the mixerpaths.xml file I've not rooted my note 4 yet, however if someone knows a confirmed working method then I may just do that. Thanks in Advance
Louder? Damn, I can't go near max loudness without going deaf! Have you tried adjusting the Adapt sound? That increased the loudness/clarity of my bluetooth headset quite a bit.

I'm sure there are hacks out there, but I tend to start with stock and then move to hacks when that fails. Good luck.
There are a couple threads with hacks. Pretty sure one of them are in the tmobile theead.
