my Windows Media Player in my Magician does not save the last audio volume it always remains at 70 if i close it and re-open it whatever volume i set it to e.g. 100%.
the other thing is that when i decrease the volume to 0% i can still hear the song playing albeit in a more quiet volume.
anybody faced this problem before? please help
many thanks in advance
once upon a tima i had the same problem.
it has to do with the system volume (tap the speaker in your task bar to adjust). if you set up this volume to 70% your media player will take the same value. just change your system volume and the wmp will change, too
i have the same problem... the system volume is set to 100% but player still comes up as 70% everytime. any reg hack?
Same here...
Although I wanted to turn the volume down really low so I could listen to music at work and still hear whats going on around me. Which you can't do. Even if you set it to 0% (with the system volume at one notch off mute).
Have had to buy a set of headphones with an inline volume control...ho hum..
My player volume stays at what I set it to though.
Cheers

Here's the fix for your problem

Weird. My volume control no longer works if I try to adjust BT headset volume by using volume slider. Suddenly. Anoyne knows how to bring it back to life?
TIA
Did you install the new AKU2 ROM update?
I think this changed the BT volume behavior.

Yes, I did. Why it alway like that with M$??? Why remove such a usefull feature??
I do see your point but for me I was actually glad the behavior changed - I always have the volume up to maximum for when I hold the JAMin to my ear for regular calls but when it pairs with my car's handsfree it was always too loud and distorted.
I was always adjusting the volume up or down on the device depending on where I was.
Now after the new ROM I just set the device on max and the car volume the way I like it and I'm all set.
Hello,
Is it possible to affect permanently the side scroll Jog/Wheel to volume function (up/down) instead of the classical menu scrolling function?
Unfortunately, this button (side wheel) does not appear in the key parameters menu.
Is there any registry value to activate it, or any software to install?
PS. This function exist by default in HTC Excalibur/s610 for example, where one can affect the side Jog to menu navigation/scrolling or just to volume control.
Thanks in advance,
Cyrus.
The big question is, why the hell would you want to change a full wheel control into a useless jog volume control. How often do you change the volume on your phone?
No offence but i just cannot understand why you would want to.
On my phone i map the side button to vibra switch when held down so you can change between ring and vibrate.

The answer can be as easy and simple as the one of El_Mariachi
Let’s say that I realised this need when using TomTom in the car...
As my Trinity sound is always low (1st case or just vibrate) on classical use. When using the Trinity in the car and starting TomTom... The sound is really low and practically not audible (always forgot to increase it before)
And believe me that when driving and trying to switch to today screen and then clicking the sound icon and increasing the sound just by your fingers is a highly not recommended thing to do
Get some software with profile switching ability.

I use CoPilot as an alternative to TomTom and CP maps the jog wheel to volume control whilst it is running. Very useful but more importantly it demonstrates that it can be done.
@ Loboman & Jazza: Thanks for the helpful informations.
As an information: In TomTom ,the side wheel also controls the volume (but only the TomTom volume). The main volume is always the one of the phone. Meening taht if the phone sound is low... Even if the TomTom volume is at the maximum, the resulting volume is low.
I'm using HD2 with a Jabra BT3030 bluetooth headset and the problem is that even with the lowest volume setting on Jabra the volume is too loud making my ears hurt.
I can work around this by editing the audio files' volume on my computer before transferring them to my phone but that means some extra work so I was wondering if it's possible to change the volume through some registry tweaks on HD2?
I found the bluetooth settings at HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth but can't seem to find anything regarding volume levels.
Is changing the volume possible at all?
Same here! HD2 + BT3030. Voicecall volume is ok, by pressing the volume button on BT3030 the volume control on HD2 is popping up and works as it should.
But if ur listening to music, the BT3030 internal volume control gets back in action, and the lowest setting is still too loud. Changing volume with hardware buttons on HD2 is showing the volume bar but doesnt change the volume.
Any solutions?
I do have the same problem. After testing my HD2 one day with BT3030 I would say all is prefect apart from this issue mentioned and unfortunately this is currently a NO-GO to me. I love my BT3030 and don't want give it away.
A little bit of tweaking maybe will bring some light at the end of the tunnel
Cheers,

I have the opposite issue with a Plantronics headset: the volume is too too low!
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance
I have the Philips BT Headset.
Volume is very high to start with.
The volume buttons don't respond very well ... but if you hold them down, the volume does eventually change to a sensible level. It will go up and down ... just need to be patient.

Have to push this thread because this problem is killing me. I have a Sony-Ericsson HBH-IS800 headset and everything worked perfect with my Touch HD, but now it's useless for me if I can't change the Music volume.
Any solutions for this problem???
Just found out that the volume controls of the CorePlayer can change the volume
Tried it also with Nitrogen, Windows Media and the Manila Music Player, but CorePlayer is the only one that can change the volume for my Bluetooth headset
/HKLM/software/widcomm/plugin/av >> all the volume settings should be there. try to play with it.
Only found one interesting point: DisableRcVolumeControl. Setting it to 0 ends in a message "the connected BT-headset doesn't support volume control. control the volume on the headset itself".
That's BS, i can control the volume over headset in phonecalls and even if no application is opened it controls the system volume. So still no solution found

I guess you managed in:

the Volume and Preamp settings???
How did you set them?
I have a HD2 and BT3030.. Same problem with volume level.
I have tried with Coreplayer as suggest. I cannot turn down the volume on the BT3030, but turning it down in Coreplayer will lower the volume level.
I really hope for a tweak here.
It seems to be the bluetooth connections/software interface that is doíng something wrong.
still playing around with it...
If Coreplayer is player with low volume it will be low volume in the BT3030.
Pressing Play on the BT3030 will start manilla, with low volume as well... unfortunately with the sound from both coreplayer and manilla player. As long as coreplayer is playing (not running) manilla volume will be low. As soon as coreplayer is munted or stopped the volume on the manilla will go up.
Hope this can help some smart tweakers....
I found a similar thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-424565.html
they tweaked with theres files:
Using a registry editor, I've changed the following key values:
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config\music_pl ayer_volumn --> 20 (default: 100)
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Information\vol umn --> 20 (default: 100)
It seems that the default volume level of the HTC player (aka manilla player; I am not right?) is too loud.
I will try and play with this within the next couple of days..

I've just changed the volume at the lower right corner of the home screen of CorePlayer.
Btw it's the same setting as menu>tools>settings>Audio page>Volume.
Preamp is 0, and Volume is at 30.
I am also having a problem controlling the volume when using my SE HBH-DS200 bluetooth headset. Coreplayer's volume control works, but s2p's does not.
It looks like Coreplayer has its own independent volume control, seperate from the system volume. The other media players (s2p, and at a guess all the others mentioned in this thread) use the system volume.
the problem seems to be that the bluetooth audio connection is ignoring the system volume setting. Anyone have an idea of how we can fix this?
Would like to find a solution as well.
I have a Samsung WEP420 BT headset and the volume is too low. I can barely hear the other calling party specially with some surrounding noise.
We need to approach HTC on this issue, it is a obvious bug in the Widcomm bluetooth stack, I had previous Widcomm based HTC phones with the same headsets that had no issues.
This is a copy of my email to HTC, feel free to email them and add any pertinent info:
There is a serious bug with the Widcomm Bluetooth Stack on the HTC HD2. It is impossible to change the volume of any Bluetooth Stereo headset from the phone.
This is critical as most bluetooth stereo headsets do not have a built in volume control and they rely on the phone for volume adjustment.
This makes my HD2 useless as the volume on my bluetooth headset (Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800, or Jabra BT3030) is at %100 all the time.
Please address this issue with a software patch or a system firmware update.
My HTC Nexus One does not suffer from this issue, and previous Widcomm based HTC phones I have owned did not suffer from this bug.
Thanks
Great. Thanks. Hope HTC will really come out with a patch soon!
Here is HTC's reply:
Hello G, I understand how frustrating it can be when a device does not function as expected. I have tested this complaint and found that our test device exibits the same behavior. Adjusting any volume levels on the device itself does not affect the volume output of the headset, with the exception of setting the Windows Media Player Mobile volume to 0%, which will stop audio from coming out of the headset all together. There are no planned patches for the HD2 at this time, but I will submit your concern on this issue to our feedback department for condsideration in any updates that may enter development in the future. If you have any further questions or concers, please feel free to contact us again or check www.htc.com as well. We also invite you to participate in our feedback survey at survey.htc.com/worldwide. We enjoy getting feedback from our customers and look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Joseph
We need to step this up if we ever want it fixed, everyone needs to send a suport request to HTC so that they understand that this is a major issue.

Hi!
With my HD2 I experience a very bad sound mixing quality when listening to music (HTC Music Player) and using Navigation software at the same time with audio routed through bluetooth.
Sound quality over bluetooth is brilliant in general when EITHER running the music player OR getting the spoken commands of a navigation software.
But running both together ends up in very bad quality when the navigation commands are played. As the navigation commands occur the music volume is decreased , which i find very good. But the commands sound very cracky with much distortion on the higher frequencies. It hurts in the ears! The commands seem to be way louder than the music so I think a solution could be to lower the volume.
But I cannot do that! Music volume and volume settings in my navigation software does not have any effect. The bluetooth audio has always the same volume.
I assume that the navigation command are treated as system sounds because other (system) sounds also decrease music volume while they are played. Btw I tried TomTom and Navigon
Does anybody have an idea how I can decrease the volume of the system sounds? Or at least the volume that comes from the navigation software?
I have the original ROM 1.66.407.1, Radio 2.06.51.07
Same issue, I got.
Im gone try to reduce the volume of the (spoken) audio files.

pltr
How can you reduce the vol of the voices? I mean in the voices folder are just .chk and .vif files (TomTom) and .nfs files (Navigon)!?!
Indeed, I tried without luck.
I haven't been able to open the .nfs files of navigon, yet.
here is also some talking about the loud voices:

Anyway, I would like some registry value or tool or ... to decrease the system sound / navigation voice volume in general.
Anybody?
