Ear Piece Volume - HD2 General

Hi All
Apologies if this has been answered, I did a search on here and google on this, found lots of complaints on it but no answers!
Ear piece volume is extremely loud, only way to turn it down is to activate the loudspeaker/speaker phone, then switch it off again.
Is there a fix for this - if there is I can't see one anywhere?
Thanks!

So no fix for this then? I have had a look through the registry but couldn't find anything that looked like default call volume unless I missed it?

Volume buttons
Just use the volume buttons on the left side.

That's not the solution - The ear piece is extremely loud even on the quietest setting using the volume buttons but if you activate the loudspeaker then switch back to the ear piece the volume on the ear piece is a lot quieter for some strange reason. By doing that the volume becomes bearable.
Have you never heard of this problem? Quite a few people are experiencing this.

Latz,
As far as I am aware there is no solution at the moment.

Use speakerphone as earpiece?

I was wondering if anyone had found a way to lower the volume on the speaker phone so that you could use it as the ear piece instead of the one on the front? I am wondering because I hate getting the screen all dirty when I use the regular ear piece and I thought since the mic is on the bottom you could just use the speaker on the back and not mess up the screen. However, when I have tried this the sound is way too loud to have next to my ear. I have searched for a way to lower this volume to a decent level, but found nothing. The other hard part is that I also want to be able to turn the speaker back up when I want to use it as a real speaker phone so I don't want to just lower the overall volume through the speaker. Does anyone know of a way to get more range out of the speaker volume so I can do this? Are there any hacks, tips, or programs that will do this? Any help would be much appreciated!

Using NueAudio, you can configure each part, speaker included. I am sure you can lower the speaker to almost nothing and it should work as a regular earpiece.

better volume control on the call

hi guys,
just got my new x1. I am familiar with WM and HTC as I have spent almost whole summer playing with Kaiser so x1 is nothing new to me. however, the first thing which i have noticed is that the volume during call in x1 is just too loud although it's set to minimum. Kaiser wasn't that loud. so, the thing is that I am bit of suffering when i need to talk to someone as the volume is too loud and I can hear "beeeeep" in my ear. crap, isn't it?
do you guys by any chance know if there is any way to change the speaker volume while on the call so that it's not as loud as it is now? is there any plugin allowing user to better control the volume of the interlocutor?
any thoughts will be highly appreciated!
Thanks
no ideas? does that mean I am the only one suffering from this issue? :/
during calling just presse up-down hardware button on upside of the x1
in normal operation they set system/ring volume, during phone operation they set the speaker call volume
I have the same problem. I have set the volume to the lowest possible setting yet it is still loud. I would expect the lowest possible setting to be mute.
Is there anyway of getting it so that the volume bar works in a more sensible way?
*bump*
Anything on this? I can't keep my phone on my ear when i'm talking with someone. Have to keep a few cm's distance or my head splits. Call volume is at minimum..
hey there. first post on the forum but i've been reading for a few weeks already and finally bought an Xperia.
Anyway, I have the same problem as you guys: even on the lowest setting, volume is still too loud during a call. I've looked accross the net and didn't find any relevant info on how to solve this does anyone have any idea on how that would be solvable ? registry trick or something ?
thanks in advance
hmmm, my situation is totally different. My X1i volume during call is set to maximum and it's too quiet for me. When I'm outside, on the street I can't hear person hanging on the other side. At home, when it's quiet it's all ok.
My ears are quite good , I've tested them 2 months ago.
If you guys have already tried what webguitar mentions above, then i think you may have a problem with your specific handset
There are a couple of threads in the forum about ways to increase volume ...but I've certainly not seen anything suggesting its too loud
Have been using mine since November and never found the volume to be too high

Same here...but using SRS Wow HD i managed to get louder sound.
well, of course i've used the side rocker -_-
it's just that i feel that instead of adjusting between
quiet - - - - - - - - - - loud
it seems more like it adjusts between
normal - - - - - - - - - loud
again, i'm talking about the volume during a call, not for the speaker or the system sound.
it isn't that loud if you are in a noisy environement, but when i'm sitting in the silence of
my room... it just feels loud. i never had such a problem with any previous phones o_o
and various changes in HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\ doesn't seem to change anything
so i was thinking, maybe there is a "minimum volume value" setting somewhere...
Nocturnal310, D-fens, please do not throw the topic off course
Definitely there IS a issue with the volume being FAR too loud on the lowest setting (this is 20% for me)
I'm embarrassed to talk on the phone in the office, as everyone within five meters hear both sides of my conversation and asks if I'm deaf. I'm not! It's the bloody phone!
Is there a way to set the speaker volume to less than 20% (5% for example)?

Cant adjust in call Volume

guys ive seen som eposts about problems with volume but i cant find a solution for my problem
when in a call i cant adjust the volume???????
when i push up or down the volume screen appears and it moves up and down but it doesnt actually decrease or increase the volume??? any ideas please?
ive tried the system tab and also the ring tab
its really loud and quite annoying
Do you have S2U2 installed? Encountered a similar problem with this S/W installed....had to remove it unfortunately, after using it on several previous devices.....
hmm no i dont have s2u2 installed, il have to see if i installed something that caused this
anyone?????????
got the same pronblem... not sure since when. I have installed s2u2, but set it like recommended by other users who definitely CAN control the in-call-volume... got no idea... looks like a hard-reset may be necessaray... but I just don't want ang got no time... ****...
regards jan
I CAN control the volume, but it doesn't go to zero. I mean the minimum value is still high.
earpiece volume too low
i thought i'd post this here: i have found the earpiece volume during a call to be rather too low, even though i set the volume to the highest level. other aspects of the sound function seem to work nicely, loud speaker and headphones are pretty loud, but the earpiece is too damn low. any thoughts..
any idea if HD tweak can increase the earpiece volume
i found that option 3.3 acoustic setting when set to maximal increased my earpiece volume dramatically during calls. and that option 3.4 increase sound increases the ringer volume. can anyone confirm
i just got my HTC HD...my happiness knew no bounds...
but when i made calls...the world fell on me ...the ear piece volume is too low compared to other mobiles; its hardly hearable
i might be missing something...plz help me as soon as possible

could it be the simple issue that, by default, HD changes the ring volume and not the speaker volume when you press volume rocker?
you can check this and if this is your problem, do a search through the forum and you will find the registry tweak, or the volume cab to change this.
good luck!
Hi folks,
found another possible reason (but unfortunaly no solution yet) for in-call volume control not working... as this thread mainly focuses on s2u2, i've opened a new one here

Weak Volume reg FIX Help

Beside the SRS WOWHD cab, does anybody know about a registry trick to increase Volume..
Thank you all in advanced.
same problem
volume?
I have opposite problem, when I have my volume up very much, everyone in room can hear conversation. It must be something really strange? I hear more people complain too loud?
To Loud!
Hey,
My HD2 has been to loud since I purchased it. I have done misc tweaks to it, flashed to latest, and the volume always bothers me. What I mean is, even on the lowest possible volume level when I am on the phone I have to remove it from my ear because it is way too loud. Is there a way to fix this problem? I have yet to do any regedit on it so if there is a way to change volume setting in the registry how do I do that the best way.. is there a nice regedit for the HD2 perhaps? I am sure I can find one in this Forum but hey any tip would save me time
Thanks for a great site/forum!!

[Q] Incall volume issue at NAND roms

First, thanks to all devs for this wonderful stuff for my old HD2.
I tried up to now about 10 different NAND roms and all have the same issue. In the search I found some people with same problem, but there is no fix available...
My incall volume is at maximum every call comes in. You are not able to adjust the volume to lower the volume. I found two small workarounds, but it must be done every call.
1. Switch the loudspeaker on and off. Now you can adjust volume with the outer switches.
2. You have to press the outer switch to louder firstly. Then the setup springs to the last adjustment directly.
Maybe someone has a durably fix, I didn't found in the here?
Thanks a lot

there is a fix for this somewhere here, just search better.

I never had this issue. You can use ;volume ace; from market to adjust the volume.
BTW I am using this rom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931126
Never had any problems. Hope this help you.
