Hey All,
Is there any way to make the speaker louder? This is for general music playing, as well as speakerphone etc. On the XDA2 you could turn it up to the point it distorted...but the i-mate etc dont seem to go that high.
is there any 3rd party program to boost the speaker volume (i know it wont go that much higher without distortion, but the option would be nice).
Cheers,
Jez.
me too
This is the only thing, in my opinion, that is not perfect about htis device. I wish the speaker was a little louder for speaker phone. Also, it would be great if someon could figure out how to make speaker phone kick in automatically when you use voice dial.

There is a way with regedit, I'm still looking
im also interested in turning up the volume..
Make the holes a little bit bigger. The sound is muffled by the tiny hole.
@ZZPACKED: keep us informed. Im interested too.
Thanks

Hello,
The speaker is small and can hold only a minimum dbs of sound. If it becomes more louder, you get the sound distorted and may spoil the speaker's cones too. But for low volume sounds, you may try boosting!
Hi Carty, how do you boost the sound?
Cheers
hi
hello everybody ! i`m also finding a way to increase sound of speaker, & in call how it was on mpx200 used to
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall]
"InitVol"=dword:00000005
you can try, may be it seems to me ?! but a little better
I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about. If you recieve any notifications When listening to any audio through headphones (or through the mini usb port), the device pushes the notification sound through the speaker. This is fine when having a ringer enabled because I'd obviously want to hear the ring. What I dislike though, is when I have notfications (rings, text messages, etc.) on silent or vibrate, it pushes the audio that I'm listening to through the speaker still. I've always disliked this in WM. My PPC6700 did the same thing, but now I'd really like to know if there's a way to change this.
Now that I have an 8GB SD card, my Titan has started to become my primary mp3 player. I do FOH sound at a local club, and when playing music between bands, it's really annoying to have the music suddenlly cut out because a phone call is coming in. Likewise when I'm quietly watching MobiTV with my headphones on at work, and suddenly, Survivorman is blaring through the speaker because a call is coming in...You get the point. The ringer is off, but the phone still trys to let a ring through the speaker anyway, and since no ring is selected, it pushes any audio being played through.
I realize that this relatively simple problem probably does not have a simple solution as this is probably buried deep in the architecture of how WM handles audio gateways...that almost sounded like I knew what I was talking about; I can assure you that I do not . This is where you guys come in. I'm willing to test any ideas you guys have got. I don't care if it f&#*s up my phone...a hard reset isn't going to ruin my day. I'd just like a solution for this.
Ideas??
Thanks for your help and for this forum!..it has saved my phone more then a few times already.
Me too having the same problem. I listen to music via my bluetooth mono headset and these notifications (whcih I get plenty) disconnect the bluetooth audio gateway, forcing me to reach out to my phone and enabling the audio gateway again.
Yeah, I hate that too! I have the i760, one other thing on this phone I dislike is that the volume must be on to hear audio through my headphones. But there I am in a store listening to some rock at a loud volume, and there it is playing for the entire f'n store to hear when I get a call, thanks PPC!
Possible Solution!!!!
Might I recommend a Profiler. Like PPCProfiler. Just Google it.
What you could do is create a profile called music or what ever you want to name it. Then you could set up that profile to turn ringers on with the volume level you like and with or without vibration and select silent or vibrate only for the notifications. You could really but together any combination. I believe with PPCProfile you can even make a profile as a Headset Mode. So it will auto detect the headset and switch without having to do anything else.
Cheers.

Thanks for the reply, but a profiler isn't exactly what I'm looking for. I've had them before in previous roms. The problem isn't that it's an inconvienence to switch to silent or vibrate. It's that when things are silenced or on vibrate, any background audio is pushed through the speaker while the notification is going off. Meanwhile that audio that I want to be played cuts out of the path that I want it going through (ie. headphones).
Thanks tho...I'm open to any ideas.
I was listening to music, using headphones, the other day when my phone rang. I got the ringtone in the headphones, which I totally expect, but when I took the headphones off I was suprised to hear the ringtone coming out of the phone speaker as well.
Is this normal, and is there a way to change it?

This normal behavior, just in case you leave your headphones in after you finished listening to music. it's been the same for a long time.
That's a shame, but I understand the reason you've given for it.
It wasn't like this with my HD though. At least I can turn the ringtone down when listening to music at work. That's the main reason I want no ringtone when headphones are plugged in. I'm in an open plan office and just think it's rude to have your phone ringing off all the time.
Maybe there's a way to change this behaviour (registry setting maybe?), and maybe some genius on here will know about it
Thanks.
by default when you get the phone if you change either ringtone or system it affects the other, in other words they're both combined. There is an option in the settings to split them so one doesn't change the other.

Funny you should say that. I was just thinking that that may actually be the cause of this issue.
I still want to hear the ringtone in my headphones, in case I don't see that there's an incoming call.
I'm gonna have a play with that option and see if it makes any difference.
Thanks.
I know on some other Android phone's (e.g. G1 http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f4/volume-increase-hack-found-18107/), a software modification has allowed for much higher volume.
Not sure if actually increases the speaker volume as well, or just through headphones?
+1 for the speaker!
Agree! The speaker is WAY too low!!!
/CK
+1 here too
It would be nice, the speaker is crazy quiet.
i wonder wot the reason was for them to keep it at that level of sound and is way to queit
Or it possible use the front speaker for avi/video/streaming?

It seems everyone has the low volume speakers.
I noticed that Angry Birds seems to be a little bit louder than other things.
Anyway, I highly urge everyone that thinks this is a problem to give this feedback to the HTC customer support. Obviously this is the only way to get an official fix for this quicker, if at all.
Wonder if the speaker can handle a increase in max volume.
Anyway, aren't there hidden service menus on the Desire HD that can be triggered with a phone code? In the service menus of a phone there are always some nice parameters to tweak.
I tried some general codes, but none of them seems to work (except the *#*#INFO#*#* of course, but that's a general hidden android menu... even works on the emulator)
until we get access to the rom via Bootloader, there is no general tweak we can do.
However, just for music, try PowerAmp from the market. It has a great pre-amp setting to boost the volume (be careful not to blow your speakers though)
We want increasement in the general speaker volume... Not just music

You can do that, but you will need a script to do that at every launch, since /system write is not permanent.
Furthermore, after each time you adb push the files, you need to restart mediaserver in order pull in the new settings.
Last but not least, you will need to modify the DHD audiopara, since the G2 might not work well.
To make the long story short... SPAM HTC's EMAIL!!
WE DIDNT BUY THA F*CKING PHONE FOR THIS ISSUES ...
And they thought they could fool us ... with their Dolby and SRS enhancements!
Disguzting!!

I experienced the same, missing calls because the damn volume is just too low!
Also, when you use the speakers when having a phone call, you can't even hear the person unless you're in an absolutely quiet room... The same goes for music, youtube, navigation..... Anything!!!??!?

I returned mine because of the low speaker volume. I was missing 99% of calls because I couldn't hear the phone ringing. In my business I just can't afford to miss calls. As I sold my normal desire to get this phone I had to buy an Orange San Francisco to use till something else comes along.
I was playing with a friend's Nokia N8 & have to say the speaker quality & loundness is outstanding on it. Also used as a phone its much better than the DHD. Shame the OS is a bit dodgy.

I am not sure if you are speaking about speakers of DHD in general or just about external. Well, Ive sent back my DHD to Vodafone because call speaker was so useless that I could not even hear other person when I had TV on. Hopefully it was just one bad piece but its apparent that HTC fcked up DHD with poor quality speakers in general. I am waiting for my phone replacement and even when I know that it would be hard to say DHD goodbye I am afraid Ill have to if speaker quality will be that bad again

Why don't we use this... compile libaudioflinger and DSP Manager, in which we can set presets (you can +10 every channel of sound, so it comes out 10x louder).
Good luck compiling... I couldn't find an example
http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base <-- libaudioflinger is in /libs/ (yes it's default in Cyanogenmod)
http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_DSPManager DSP Manager android application, yes everyone should be able to compile this one
Ok Guys- in the rare occasion i have to use the speakers for the phone call i can barley hear the caller- the speaker is way to low. When listening to podcasts or video it is no problem- so it is not a lack of power of the speakers.
Is there a way i can turn up the speaker output for phone calls? Even maxed out it seems way to low.
Thanks
That happens to me too in Skype, I have the Wifi only (P6810). There's a lot of apps at the market to boost the volume, Eq, etc... I didn't try any of them yet, they just don't look convincing to me so far....
If you want to take a look search in the market for sound boost.
I'm not taking the piss but did you press the speaker button on the phone app?
