Microsoft Voice Command 1.50

When I receive a call, voice command announces it as it should, lowering the ringtone volume to announce over the top of it, problem is, it's reducing the volume too much, and I can't hear it speaking...
Does anyone know a way of:
a. Preventing voice command from lowering the volume at all?
b. Increasing the gain on voice command's announcements?
Any and all help is appreciated, thanks.

hah, when i used MS voice command my problem was that it didn't lower the ringtone enough.
I have no clue how to do what ur asking for, after a while i just turned my ringtone off and just had the announce of the name and number.

I got this CAB file from another post.
It did the trick for me.

Hi,
Start Menu->Settings->Voice Command
Choose Phone, then click Options, Remove checkbox to 'announce incoming calls'. Now your ringtone will rin normally.

The problem is that I want the nice lady to announce the name of my caller, and I want the phone to play the ringtone I have set

What does this cab file do? is it modification to Voice command, or is a simple registry hack?

Hello
Use any registry editor like resco and do the following
Goto current user
Then control panel
Then sound categories
Then voicecommand1
And change the atenuationcategory from 3 to 1
That will do the thing. The lady will be louder.

Theses suggestions seem to make little or no difference, the only change seems to be that the music isn't turned down as much.
I've tried manually making the changes, and running/instaling the cab file "MPIIIMan" presented me with.
Is there any way I can physically change the program to increase the gain? I don't mind if I have to dissassemble code or anything to make changes, but i'd like to get it sorted...
I'd use cyberon, but I can't find ANY working links for it on either Limewire, IRC, or any websites, either the full program or a demo... Has it dissappeared from existance???

This worked for me. Made the lady louder - ringtone volume remained the same. Thanks.
BTW, I noticed there's another setting in that registry key called "initvol" and it's said to 5. My best guess would be initial volume? Anyone try playing with that to see what that does?

Can you explain exactly what htis cab does, or maybe link us to its original post?

I got this cab file from another post.
You would have just as much luck finding it as I would.
I believe it's just a registry edit
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\VoiceCommand1]
"AttenuationCategory"=dword:00000001
"InitVol"=dword:00000005
"Script"="p"
@=""

Speaker 2 loud!

When I receive a call and put the phone to my ears, the speaker is too loud even set to minimum, Is there a hack that can adjust this?
If I put everything on speaker phone, the speaker is also too loud but not so anoying, but on the other hand people complain they don't hear me, so the mic
is set too low.
How can I modify this, help needed.

Why not just lower the volume. Better too loud than too soft... right?

The volume is set to minimum and is still shouts.
And I keep asking people to speak a little bit more quiet and thay say they speak normal.
So my speaker is ultra I suposse, but can I shut it up a bit?

Have exactly the same problem with all 3 M3100's that I've had. Is yours an M3100 too?
I notice that on hard reset, when the extended ROM is executed it runs an application called something like AdjustAcousticProperties. I wonder if this is doing it?

... whereas on the stock HTV Tytn, the volume is too low! If there's any way of extracting this AdjustAcousticProperties, it might be a real plus for us Tytn owners for whom the volume is too low.
Thanks!

Yes, mine is SPV M3100 too. I will look at the extended rom folder If I have that file.
Any solution?

The file would be great, thanks.
The only solution I can think of is a hard reset and an interrupt when the extROM cabs are loading (eg, don't let the AdjustAcousticProperties load)

Donno about you guys .. but my TyTN .. on speakers .. even with the lowest volume .. SEEMS WAY TOOOOOO LOUDD ...

Yes, on speakerphone, but we're talking about the earpiece volume here, I think...

PLEASE! if you can extract this file I'll like to try it out.
My earpiece of the tytn is SSSHHHIIIIITTTTEEE! its way to soft for me also.
I'm sorry your having the complete opposite problem that some of us are. I wish i could offer a solution for you but if you can offer a solution to some of us, that would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers and thanks

I can post the CAB's somewhere if somebody else would like to take a dig around inside of them?
[edit] Just realised the Orange Extended ROMs are on the site already -

I'm using a Vario II with the same problem.
With speakerphone turned on, even when it is set to the absolute minimum, the speaker screeches....it's that loud!

Hmm, can't see the CAB for AdjustAcousticProperties in the list anywhere, unless I'm being blind...
Anyone help? I'd love to increase the earpiece volume on my Tytn

I presume it's a .exe file buried inside one of the CABs. not sure how you go about decoding the contents of them though as all the files are renamed.
[edit] Just been looking around inside the CAB's using 'Wince cab manager' and nothing appears obvious. I'm sure I'm not dreaming... maybe the application is buried in there somewhere but the name isn't obvious as I have definitely seen it displaying something very close to 'SetAcousticParams' or 'AdjustAcousticProperties' during the execution of a contents of the extended ROM.
If I get time tomorrow I'll do a backup and then do a hard reset to check.
Andy.

Andy,
Great, many thanks!

Just did a hard reset - First thing it does when running the Extended ROM is at the bottom of the screen it says "Running SetAcousticParam.exe /Run..." which takes about a minute to run. Then when it installs the other CAB's you see "Installing ...... " at the bottom of the screen instead. Not sure where the exe is coming from now to be honest as it *doesn't* appear to be in the CAB's.
Andy.

Hmm, interesting. Don't suppose this file is buried somewhere in you windows folder heirarchy is it?
Thanks for helping out here!

Isnt there a reg key u can change the quality level and other things for speaker and speaker phone ,
I rememmber it on my htc wizard.

Hi!
I have totally opposite problem; my original handsfree is too quiet when listening music via Media Player. Every sound setting in the device is at maximum; Media Players volumebar is set to 100%, I scroll devices overall volume to max and slide that little knob at the HF to max. Yet it aint as loud as I would like to. And no, I´m not half deaf or such.
Allso while listening music without HF, I would like to have the device more louder.
Any hints about good 3rd party equalizer programs out there? Like such that the WinAmp (for Microsoft XP) EQ is.
Karzi, yes theres these regkeys which enables one to adjust the quality of the audio, but not it loundness. So I keep searching for programs what would allow to adjust even music loudness, ie equalizers. Anyone?

It *appears* to be... but I can't seem to find it. Found a script called preconfig.txt in \windows which seems to govern what happens on the first powerup after a hard reset, which contains the following:
LOCK:Enabled
EXEC:\Windows\SetAcousticParam.exe /Run
EXEC:\Windows\SetHSDPA.exe /Enable
EXEC:\Windows\cusTSK.exe \Windows\Orange2006.tsk
CAB: \Windows\MP_CVSDcpl_20060503.cab
CAB: \Windows\MP_MMS3.2_Hermes_OrangUKWWE_060601.CAB
XML: \Windows\PP_Cerfiticate.xml
XML: \Windows\PP_Generic_Conn_Setting.xml
XML: \Windows\PP_Generic_UI.xml
XML: \Windows\PP_Others_Conn_Setting.xml
XML: \Windows\PP_others_UXC.xml
Hide:Enabled
EXEC:\Extended_ROM\autorun.exe
LOCKisabled
RST: Reset
Looks like it does loads of stuff before it executes the extended ROM. Still can't find the exe though!

Low volume on a mono-handsfree...

I bought a mono HF and even with max volume its so low that it is unusable..
Any tweaks to boost the volume for HF?
Found this from the boards:
frem said:
Ok well I found the solution, if someone is interested here is what you need to do :
found the solution for htc s730 and those who don't have the registry key acoustic....:
copy both files AudioPara4_FR.csv and AudioPara3.csv to PC
change the F25 line replacing 409 by 4000.
Copy files to SD card
Copy with total commander to windows directory and remplace existing...
Worked for me !
cheers.

I found similar files from the X1 and tried to change some of the values without luck.
To me it seems though that those files control all audio output levels to different kind of devices you plug on your X1...

Here are the files if someone wants to take a look.

I have this problem with the loudspeaker. It's just too low to hear, for example, Tom Tom's instructions. Would this mod affect the speaker volume too you think?

I think by finding the right values on those files, all of the different device volume values can be adjusted. I dont know about any registry tweaks, but if someone has some ideas please share...

well i posted earlier on same issues but no reply..
anybody could well help out if you knw any tweaks..even the sound calls of the ringtone is soft..

Open the files in notepad on your pc, not in excel...

is it true that X1's speaker suck and nothing can be done about it?

In Coreplayer you can select Pre-amp in the Equalizer, set hit higher to your liking.

Actually I tested this with a Nokia mono handsfree and it worked with a normal volume, so my problem has to do with the HF and not the X1...

How to increase earpiece sound via registry???

I have tried to search but no avail, Can someone PLEASE guide me / Navigate me about how can I increase the earpiece sound.
I am using VOIP on my Diamond, the problem is that I have to plug the earpiece to listen the next person, even though the incoming voice is still soo low, I have read some time ago on this same forum that you can increase the earpiece sound strength through the registry, BUT HOW (what key, where).
I have tried the buit-in equalizer software but that seems to only work with songs not for telephone conversation.
Any help please
Regards
Sid

hi sidd u need to go to HKCU-control panel-sound categories- in call. set initial volume to 4.......

Hi there,
I would also like to have higher volume using earpiece - although up to now I thought pressing VolUp while in call was the max one could get...
Do you have more infos about these reg-settings? In SoundCategories I have:
InCall -> InitVol = 2
InCall2 -> InitVol = 5
InCall3 -> InitVol = 4
thx

hey let those values stay the same just change in call.... dont forget to soft reset....

These are some tweaked AudioPara3.cvs files that will boost the volume parameters. There are 3 levels to choose from, the high level will distort through the speaker so it is best not to run at 100% volume on this file.
Just copy to windows folder and replace existing.
You may want to make a copy of your original first.

Use Resco explorer, Total Commander or similar.
