I posted this question in two other forums and still haven't gotten a response in almost a full day.
Anytime I make or recieve a phone call on my Mogul it's almost required that I speak in a loud tone so that my voice will reach the microphone on the bottom of the phone and so that other may hear me.
I'm wondering if others expirence this same issue, if its the phone or what?
For what it's worth, I haven't noticed any problems with my microphone. I am able to speak at a normal volume and be heard.
(Not sure if you were only looking for responses from people who ARE having the problem...?)
No problems here either. I just added a new Audiopara file to increase the ear piece speaker volume.

Ohh my bad. I didn't download it. I actually used no2chem's tool to change my audio para to my likings.
Here is the link to his tool : http://www.weienterprises.com/nue/nueaudio.html
Privax, I've had a few units swapped out due to warranty issues and noticed a variation in the build quality on the microphone. People could hear me better depending on the phone build quality.
Were I you, I'd contact my phone provider pronto for a replacement.
Hi guys,
I just wondered if anyone elses volume for the radio was pretty rubbish? I got the phone a couple of weeks ago and I am dissapointed with the volume of the radio. I have downloaded and used HD Tweak to disable the 100DB limit, but i find it is still low. I dont like really loud music, but so you get the idea of what I mean by its low, if im on the bus with it on....full volume, i cannot hear it properly.
Hope someone can help,
Thanks!
Chris
I have the same problem
I noticed it this morning on the train, I have the official radio and XFM radio. Both were hopeless. couldnt hear very much at all as the volume is too low. when I switched to the music player - too loud. So it must be the radio - any ideas?

Yeah mate, doesn't make much of a difference.
Regards,

I too second/confirm this issue.
But what can be done? Audio booster doesn't help. If you install the SRS sound enhancement cab then volume increases but not worth because a lot of incompatibilities with volume adjustments and so forth especially in TF3D and WM player.
I have the same problem on my HD / Blackstone
It seems that the radio signal is very weak (see the 2 signal "LED" chart on each side od the frequency, on the orignal application)
they don't go any further than 3 dots out of 8
Try switching off your UMTS (or data connection) on my side, it is a bit better, but nothing fantastic
When I talk on this phone, the sound is very poor... Although not too loud (like other complaints) but the sound crackles at high frequencies... The speakerphone is even worse...
Is anyone aware of some tweaks to improve communication sound on this phone?
Can AudioBooster be set up to work with the phone's sound not only the music player? Any other options ???
Thank you in advance.

I think the high volume on this phone is artificially boosted over what it's meant to be, i.e. HTC have modified the audiopara (or something like that) in the Windows folder to try and boost the speakers sound over what it's meant to be.
(Something that ROM coookers figured out on the Diamond I think).
I think, maybe someone can reduce those values back to normal? The speaker will be a little quieter, but it won't crackle or distort as much.

Which radio do you recommend? I have Leo_RADIO_2.07.50.27_2 and a terrible sound while on the phone.
Sound is to loud, impossible to lower volume enough. Much distortion even at lowest volume (which still is to loud). Bad sound in cable handsfree and BT handsfree.
Soundquality while playing music on the other hand is perfect in speaker, handsfree and BT handsfree.
Suggestions?
Since sound is often a pretty subjective matter, so I'd like to interject that the phone network only transmits from around 300 Hz to 3,000 Hz. Therefore the sound of a voice over your phone will never sound as clear and nice as it should, let alone like the 192 kbps-MP3-file you are playing
If it's worse compared to other phones however it's, as stated above, likely a problem with the radio. I use the 2.08.50.08_2 from [REF]The HTC HD2 Radio ROM Thread and have a quite decent quality.
I agree totally - if it sounds good or bad is individually. But, the sound quality in my HD2 is far worse than in my 5 years old SonyEricsson, and when I borrowed a Nokia the other day I was surprised how good (clear, crisp, distorsion free) a cell phone can sound.
I have a lot of distorsion and all too loud sound. Often I have to hold my phone 20 cm away from my ear just to avoid getting half deaf..
Thanks for the tip, I'll try the 2.08.50.08_2 Radio and hope for a better sound
you can try this hotfix...worked very well @my hd2
i got this from another forum.
little info: some users said that the soundlevel is now always set up to 100%...but try it on your own!

Thanks, trying it now, will report back after tomorrow's hardcore testing at work..
Return it if you can...
I had Nokia E71 before and it's speaker is fo another level better than HD2... BUT, question is: when I'm gonna use speakerphone on my HD2? ... almost never
Seems better, but a little to subjective at the moment. Will keep trying and report back!
Definitely better after the patch. Quite good actually. I have not seen any side effects yet, only clear sound, and better volume.
Thanks for the hotfix!
Will try it on my colleague's phone also now.
sound quality
I used the hotfix as well but it appears to have made no difference whatsoever to the quality of sound during calls , so my phone is going back to htc again and if it returns with the same issues i will ask for a replacement as due to the ammoun of posts on here this is a major flaw in the phone and a highly irritating one too , i love this phone but the audio quality during calls is appalling in comparison to all my previous phones .
After a couple more days of testing I found out that the patch gave no effect at all. BUT: I found out another thing: Even though the system volume is at lowest according to the meter, if you increase, you actually lower the volume. So, if you during a call first increase and then decrease the volume, it gets acceptable. Still to loud though.
So, it seems like what HTC really should do is to get the dialer use the sound mixer properly. Today it is obviously oversteering which creates distorsion.
this is a war we won't win

I've bought my HD2 back in Dec the 11th and since then I've been in contact with HTC about fixing this problem. They've given me a debug tool to run on my device, sent the logs twice and so far they've done nothing about it. I've given up. What I do for outgoing calls, while it rings I turn the volume all the way up and then all the way down before the other party answers. doing this you get a decent sound. Can't do much about the incoming calls,
As far as flashing different radios and roms... I've flashed about 30time already. tried all the possible radio/rom combinations but with only slight different results. Nothing to brag about!
the fix I attached helps a little bit!
If anybody finds and cure let us all know! please!!!!!
Please help!
I have a HD2 (T-Mobile branded).
After installing a TOUCH-ROM (with HSPL, then TMOUS with task 29) I have noticed an intention to a poor voicecall quality.
The voicecall sounds over-amplified, distorted. If I try to inclease a loudness to max it sounds a total distorted to deaf (silent). The undistorted sound is only with the max 50% of loudness. If abobe, the voicecall is distorted and crackling.
Then I've tried to install a new TOUCH-ROM (not fro TMOUS with a new 2.09 radio), then tried to install an official 1.66 ROM, then upgraded to an official radio 2.07, but the problem persists.
On the headphone the voicecall sounded normal.
Has someone the same problem? Do you know the solution, maby some values in the registry?
i have the same problem!
I think there's already a thread about this issue...
I have it too on the latest official ROM...
Also if you turn the speaker to your face (from about 10cm or less) you feel some breeze come from the speaker! I've never felt anything like this from a small speaker like this...

Can you write a link, please. I can't normally use a phone call, it's so depressive
I've tried so many roms and radios, but it doesn't works! Maybe it's something wrong by flashing?
Wait, are you talking about the hear-speaker or the loudspeaker? (I tought you were talking about the loudspeaker, the one on the side of the camera)...
But the hear-speaker also has some noise issues but not distortion

about the hear-speaker that you use when you call on the side of the screen.
Is any tweaks available to ajust the amplifier or frequency of the front hear-speaker?
Is any test apps available e.g. to try to play a sound or music through this speaker (not to call, to ensure that the speaker is not defect and not a radio or software)?
I have tested the hear-speaker with the fring (you can switch between two speakers there), and the problem is not in the hardware, but can be only in software / radio!
I have had this problem occur a day or so ago, I am using 1.48 original 02 Rom.
I have solved the problem.
The solution is:
- MTTY Task 29
- Install radio ROM 2.08.50.08_2 (correct edition RUU_Leo_Radio_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2.exe with the black mobile icon)
- Install the RTT Shock Star RTMi ROM
- Install the audioroute 1.2.020
- Play a sound using the audioroute via the hear-speaker to ensure the clear sound without any hardware problems. If not, blow the speaker through, till it sounded clear.
-Try to call and check the sound.
Please try the solution and give me a feedback.

hi
sorry but i didn't really understand what should i do!
can u plz explain
Hi guys,
I have Tmobile HD2 and it's on stock radio 2.08. I flash nrg rom 04/23 6.5.x and everything was working fine. Today I just changed the rom to 4/23 6.5 and now my speaker don't make any sounds. Everything play fine through headphone but not from speaker. I play music, movies, ringtones nothing works. No sounds. I just did task29 and flashed to 2 other different roms and still no sounds. What happened to my phone? Is the speaker gone for good? I only had this phone for a week. Any helps is appreciated.
I've had a similar issue in past phones, where after removing audio jack the phone still thinks it is plugged in and even a hardreset didnt fix it. Try to remove and insert the audio jack rapidly in succession, its worth a try. Good luck.
Regards

Thanks for prompt reply. I tried multiple time with no success.
what other roms have you tried. i am running the energy ROM on my tmobile HD2 without a problem i would try it

I don't think it's rom related. I try nrg, miri, stock and cell. none works.
I had the same issue. I think thats happen after i use earfone.
Do you solve this problem?
thx
I had the same issue. The easiest way to tell if it is the same issue is to look to see if you have the headset icon in the bar when you dont have any connected. I solved this by (not suggesting you do it unless you are sure) there is a pressure prong on the top of the 3.5 jack. I used a tool to bend it down a little. If you still can I would swap it out for a new one.
i have the same issuse, and i've tried 2 rom until now.
in a call, if i press speaker, i can hear everything.
if i'm using mediaplayer, tcmp, youtube client, i get no sound.
even if i try to change the ringtone, i cannot hear when it plays for demo.
but if i plug in my headphones, everything works prefect, i can hear.
i have no headphones icon in the upper part of the display (so that the phone thinks i didn't get the jack out).
any ideea would be really appreciated.
Hi all,
i bought unbranded/unlocked HD2 on 5-6-2010 and played alots with it - so i didn't really noticed a serious speaker problem.
Within the first week i wondered about the fact that i sometimes couldn't hear the callers voice. I had this effect even when i called somebody. I thought about a software error - so i flashed to the latest german stock ROM.
But it didn't fixed the problem. I was only able to hear somebody, when i used the internal speaker or the headset.
One day i got a call and i "accidentally" pressed the phone speaker a bit harder than usual to my ear and the voice came and left - (ear)speaker defect.
I informed the dealer about this defect and i got a new HD2.
He told me, it would be the ninth HD2 with this particular defect since January 2010.
Please check your speaker for a defective contact - maybe it hits you too.
Good luck,
Stephan
mine was a software problem.
i have elegancia 8.5 now and it works, i can hear youtube, fm radio on the speaker.
the other thing that bothers me is that the sound i hear in a call is too low.
i don't know if it's a radio problem.
ah, btw, i can't use the volume hardware buttons, they are broke from a down fall, and i can't seem to find how to change in a call volume from windows.
I also hat that prob. The funny solution: Audio was set to silent in windows media player. After turning up the volume the problem was gone. I had this problem only one times. Strange thing...
I have the same problem with my hd2 now and still couldnt fix it.I have htc2 for 2-3 months, didnt have this kind of problem, no sound from the phone without earphones.can it be solved with any sound driver or sth like that, I tried hard reset, flashing, orginal rom, downloaded previous working rom, no solution.Appreciate if you could give some advices.thanks
note:happened after half an hour downloading laurentius 26 rom

??? help pls ???
My speaker stopped working last night. Had been working fine for the last few weeks.
Haven't installed anything or done anything different in the last few days.
Have only recently got my phone set up as I want it, so I'm loathe to do a factory reset. Read on another forum that HTC are aware of this and that 65% of HD2 owners suffer with is - not sure how true this is though.
If it's a hardware issue, is it easy to replace the speaker? If so, is it easy to order one?
Thanks
SC
I have the same problem! I have try like for ROM already and no solution i even uninstall HSPL to see if anything happened but not luck so far. can any expert or someone who have already solved this problem post a solution or something PLEASE i getting worried or i mean i am already!!
THANKS!
fixed It!! speaker Problem!HD2
well is was pretty simple! all i did was i put speaker volume on muted and with the earphone start to plug in and and out the jack several times while i was playing a video on windows media after that i unplug it and set the speaker volume up and hit play!!! speaker on!!!!
Just had the no sound from speaker problem, I always use my bluetooth motorokr s9-hd headset but i didnt feel like charging it so i used my sony earbuds with the 3.5 jack for the first time and it caused the no sound from speaker issue......I plugged the earbuds back in, played with the volume buttons on the phone and the speaker is back on
