Hi. I have some shuffle noise with my X1. It's a small "shhh".
I have this issue with the internal speaker but also with my headphones (Shure) during calls or playing mp3. As soon as I stop the mp3, the shuffle stops three seconds after, same for calls...
This is not a big noise, but it is still 3x higher than my sony mp3 player ... This is particularly annoying with phone calls , because the mp3 volume sound covers the shuffle.
Have you the same issue?
Thanks
switch mp3 player!
Same... I have this issue my X1 when i have any sound... Bip , or call , or mp3 , or film.... When the sound stopped , the shuffle stopped too 2 seconds after...
Me too... thought it just was the quality of the phone. Is there any one else who has the same problem? Is it "by design" or a faulty phone?
Hello, same issue for me !!!
I called the special phone number for XPERIA : waiting for a technician call on next monday.
the default level of the music player is too high, even though you turn the device volume to the lowest level. any way to modify it?
Hey,
I know it isn't a software solution, but check this out,
http://www.headphoneworld.com/p/Shure_Volume_Control_Attenuator.htm
I'm thinking about getting it as I hate having to take my phone out and don't like the way I can't drop percent at a time on the system volume buttons when listening to music.
With this device you can run the phone volume as normal, and control the signal to the headphones, proportionally without pulling the phone out.
....IB a n e
Actually, as i play more with the HD, i found that when use the setting of TF 3D to adjust the volume, it can reach to the 0% but still outputing a small volume of sound,
that's nice, i can more enjoy the music when my surrounding is quiet.
just share, hope to be useful for you
Hi, I'm not sure this works on every windows mobile 6.1 device but as I myself have an X1i, I thought I'd share this (in the hopes of being useful to some people).
I've always found the speaker a piece of **** when it comes to playing music (as well as the vibrator.. but that doesn't really matter right now).
One morning, I woke up with my usual alarm using G-alarm and I thought I'd connect my HiFi system to it so I had some better quality music playing while waking up.
I connected it but noticed that no sound came through the 3.5" jack but instead it still came through the speaker of my phone.
What happened though is that there was a small pause in the playback of the alarm and after that (0.5 seconds) the sound quality was MUCH MUCH richer than without plugging the 3.5" jack in! So basically all you hear when you play music is a cellphone kind of sound but when I plugged in that cable (doesn't matter if it's a hifi or your headphones), the music playing actually had bass and mid-level tones.
Everyone should try this out and see if they get the same results.
I've been looking through the registry to see if there are any sound profiles that windows mobile switches to when the jack is plugged in so I could use the same if there isn't anything plugged in but I couldn't find anything.
I really hope someone else can because the sound is SO much better!
Regards, Karel
Can you provide instructions and steps on how you did it??
Instructions
1. Install G-alarm
2. Set the alarm to a time (the next minute? ;p)
3. Wait for the alarm to start
4. Plug something in the 3.5" hole
5. Be amazed!
ps. I found another thread here about a third speaker - wheather this is the case or not, it does sound MUCH better using the non-existant speaker! xD
Apparently it's the 'speakerphone' and it can be turned on manually with 'audioRoute' from Teksoft
I just wonder why not all media players use that speakerphone.
Also I'm wondering if it's possible to remove the notification that WM6.1 gives when the speakerphone is turned on.

If you don't hear anything, press the first button (so the 'E' appears), then press the third button and you should see a phonespeaker icon (with the notification).
Actually i posted this before here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544878
and well the sound is really amazing is true ... like a laptop it beats all cell phones i had till now ... also n95 8gb and n97.
I think the reason that it isnt the default for music playback is to preserve the quality of the speaker only for the calls in loudspeaker mode.
greetings

But the thing is, G-alarm can just switch modes (normal speaker -> speakerphone) without displaying the ugly icon along with the notification.
I think mediaplayers should just have the option to use that speakerphone lol

Okay, thank you, it works now but I have to switch the trakc and increase volume and stuff, it takes some time to work. But quality is indeed better. Not too much, though, I find. A little bit clearer, but not louder.
hi everybody i love my legend but i'm really disappointed with this issue: even at the minimum, the volume is too loud too listen it with hearphones...
Is there an app to fix it?
Trying another rom could fix it?
Thk you
Got same issue

Hey, I agree with what you've said above. I have the same issue. Please note that I have no direct solution for you, but the work around is this:
Use a different set of headphones. I have three sets I use.
1) pair of ear buds that came with the legend - these are fine when I turn the volume down low
2) Phillips SHS3201 - these are basic ""over the ear" hook style ear buds. volume is fine if I turn it down between first second "notches".
3) Monster Audio Turbine ear buds - foam sealing passive noise canceling. These are too loud even at the lowest setting. I think they have powerful drivers that simply boost the sound and foam fittings that drive the sound into my ear canal. Though they sound great, I can't really use them because they are too loud on the phone.
Are you using a high quality or "foam sealing" headphone?
That being said, I'm interested if anyone else knows how to adjust this!
Thanks.
Thk you for your reply I've not found a real solution but you're right i think i'm gonna buy earphones with external volume adjustement because even with the original legend ones, it's too loud
There is another way to fix it but i don't like it.. You can change de volume of your mp3's by using mp3 gain (freeware). The volume is better but if you want to connect the legend to a loudspeaker, you realise that the sound has unfortunately a very limited volume...
I am interested in this as well. I have tried the Music Player with EQ platinum (by changing left and right channel to output lower volume) but it kills the CPU. If you view photos while listening to music, you might not hear any music anymore.
Same here. It gets very annoying when the phone rings while I'm listening to things on my earphone - it hurts my ear everytime. (I have ringer set to max volume, which seems to make the ring tone play at max volume through earphone as well. I can barely stand min volume as it is.)
I've already rooted my phone - I guess changing the audiopara files should do the trick. Can anyone tell me how to understand those files?
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
I am using j-jays intra earphones and the Legend really disappoint me about the sound quality (volume setting).
So I tried to set EQ as down as possible... what there is no EQ on Android's music player? f****!
Finally I have found and used Astro Player beta on the market, wich is not very good-looking but has a complet EQ.
And an other problem about Legend sound quality appears: the sound in noisy at low volume!!!
Ok let's hope a flash will correct the problem. For the moment I am using my Sansa clip+ to hear the music in my bed and my legend with RockPlayer to watch movies in my bed
Volume issue Android
I've been having an issue with the volume being too loud when streaming music via pandora or last.fm
To check to make sure we are all having the same problem, follow these steps and report back.
1. Play media (music) w/ headphones
2. Turn off silent mode
3. Go to Settings/Volume
4. Edit the volume of the ringer (it will play a test sound)
5. Accept changes...
Now, did the volume go down on the media so it's nice and quite? If so, how long does it last? I know this works for me for the rest of my current song, but as soon as another one starts it's back up to crazy loud volume (even when the media volume is set to smallest amount).
I have also downloaded a 3rd party volume control app, but the same thing happens. Please give this a shot and let us know what happened!
I dont know what I am doing wrong but I find the sound level extremely poor for calls
I tried with a bluetooth headset, the outside speaker and the jack with my mp3 headset
it's pretty weird since when I play videos or music I am impressed by how loud I can push the Tab...
I am on AT&T with JMC (but was the same on JM6). And I set the sound at max
anybody has the same issue? Am I doing something wrong? Or is there any sound booster app for calls? (and is it necessary?)
Thanks for your help
My Tab isn't phone-enabled, but since you're new to Android, I thought I should point out that there are multiple volume settings, and in-call volume is one of them. Menu Key -> Settings -> Sound Settings -> Volume should give you all the sliders (Ringtone, Media, Alarm, System, Notification...). There are apps/widgets too that let you get to/change these settings without having to go into the settings menu every time (audio manager has been a decent widget for me). Until you're actually in the call the hardware rocker is usually doing the ringtone or media volume.
When I use mine with Skype 60% is usually blaringly loud for me, and I don't even have the system or media volume maxed out.
Sorry if it's something you know you've done, but thought it might help. If not, maybe someone else has had the same issue and solved it.

yes this I had figured out and set at the maximum
Everything non call related is really strong... It's conversation from normal calls that is ridiculously low
Am I the only one ?? What's wrong with my tab ?
Anyone with an opinion about this ?
Voice-enabled on AT&T with JM6. Have good results with the built-in speakers and cheap Nokia BH-214 stereo Bluetooth earbuds. I ordered the OEM earbuds, but I do understand that the 3.5mm jack port in finicky. Is your Bluetooth 2.1 or newer? Do you have many open applications when trying to place or receive calls? I've notice the sound stutter a bit on the speakers when I've got several apps open.
Here's something I noticed, when in call using my BT Headset, the volume slider sometimes says its on max but the output isnt. Try to lower or increase your volume. Once you hear the max level beep, it gets louder.
Im on a SingTel Tab by the way.

Thank you, will try right away
Edit: yeah I can definitely reduce the volume but my max was my actual max. As anybody tried to compare the volume on the speaker when playing music whith the volume on the speaker when on a call... It's like 5 to 10 times higher volume on a call !! And then same issue on a headset

As mentioned I tried it with everything I could... The default external speaker, a simple stereo headset (Not bluetooth), a bluetooth headset. They all give the same. Low volume
If you don't like volume in speaker, headset, bluetooth....You can change settings in "hidden" Audio menu. There you can change volume of individual ouput, but be careful!!!!!
Before change anything, make sure you can put it back the same number if you are not satisfied or have problem ..so wright it somewhere anything you wish to change.
Good Luck with experiment. If I remember correctly(from my old Samsung i780-Windows phone) "TX" settings is for output and "RX" for imput, but I can be wrong, so be careful.

what I do is, when in a call, I lower the volume by about 2, then increase it until i hear the max volume beep. The moment i hear it, the volume on my headset usually jumps up.
I have the same problem with the speaker volume. At maximum you cannot hear it. The bluetooth seems to work OK. IIRC JK5 software seemed to work correctly.

So I guess for you too, music or movies play with a high volume on the speakers whereas for calls it's rather low volume ?
Yes bluetooth or headset I can hear but still quite low volume compared with music...

My problem is specifically for calls. Anything else is fine and working well. That's the weird issue... I dont want to boost the volume for anything else!
That's pretty weird... I have been playing with the tab and I found out that for calls, the highest level I can have (by hear) is two notches below the highest. That's by far the loudest I get (If I push higher the sound decreases)
Am I the only one ? It really pisses me off.... I don't know how it can be like that (I am on JMC ROM after flashing a JM6 ROM over the JK5 from Russia (I am on an AT&T Tab flashed to get phone working)
Someone else get the same experience ?
I can confirm that the max 'in call' volume is two notch below the max !!! And I have the same tab/setting of the OP.
Aren't there some codes you can enter to adjust the volume level on calls and music, etc.?? like the Galaxy S?

Thanks ! Ina sense I am a littel bit relieved to see I am not the only one !
Such a stupid bug. Come on Samsung...
FYI it is fixed with the firmware JME
Sound level is much more acceptable and the highest level is not anymore two notched below the max
