But I do have a problem with headphones! The volume level is so low and music feels 'dull' on my Shure SE310s. :-(

Oh yeah ... I agree with that
When I use the headphone I can't hear the people I am talking to
Is there a way to boost the volume ?
Especially with this kind of headphone ... the sound should be quite good
Several other threads about this. You need to check/cycle the TV out setting in the Settings for the phone, should clear you up on sound output, but 3rd party headsets won't do voice calls.

I find that the overall volume on the Treo Pro is not strong. When listening through a speaker or even sometimes through headphones.
Now I realize the quality of the recording is a part of it, but frankly for many recordings i can listen with the earbuds on and cranked to the loudest and its still not that loud.
Anyone know of any tweaks to increase the volume out put? I really would love the built in speaker to be louder.

i dont know any tweaks, but i had the same issue, i even called tech support to get a diff phone swapped out, the tech told me to take the plastic piece off because it covers the speaker hole on the screen.....lol....i know how stupid! other then that i dont know anything to make it sound louder besides the keys on the sides to turn the volume up and down. I did notice that the speaker phone gets louder if u have the phone on a table or something. if this info didnt help then sorry for my worthless post...lol
Did you try removing anything covering the speaker? Yes not a fun idea, but if you did, did it seem at all noticable.
Frankly, even with the head phones its not very loud.
Funny bit of information -- if you want more juice out of your headphones, turn the phone off of silent mode, unplug the headphones and wait for sound to come out of the speakers, and than plug the headphone back in... youve now doubled your hearing loss.
Thanks for the tip. Can you restate the steps. Its not clear (and I could not reproduce it.) Maybe it would be more clear if you describe the original state of the phone. Example: Headphones plugged in and mute switched so speaker is muted.
Thanks
Okay here goes, My phone is usually on Vibrate.
Plug headphones in.
Start music.
Move slider to speaker.
Unplug headphones until you hear sound coming out of the speaker.
Plug headphones in.
I noticed this when listening to music on my headphones and i'd get a call, the volume would crank...
Give it a shot, it works for me!
I could have a bunk phone, but if it means anything I'm from Toronto, and i'm using a Bell Treo Pro.
I've searched everywhere with no solution for this. My wired headset has a very loud music volume, but when I make/receive a call, the conversation voice is way too low that I can barely hear it (no mic problems though, because the other party hears me clearly).
Any ideas?
Anybody ?

with respect to the headset ,
1. the htc headset that comes with the hd2 is of very bad quality so don't use it
2. when talking to some one pres volume up and a volume controller will appear , adjust it ,it is low by default just put it to the max , it is a hidden controller not adjustable except during doing a call.
i also answered it on our group for general help
actually, the headset is quite good. the problem is the jacks driver. its output voltage is higher than allowed, many cheapo headsets and FM transmitters do not like this and overdrive then.

I have to agree that the headset is quite good, because the music volume is rocking-n-rolling, also the headset's microphone has a good voice quality, as the other party hears my voice loud-n-clear. The problem is - and only is - with the very low conversation volume.
This is kinda frustrating, lol
Hmmm .. Bump!
Bump again :s
Have you tried the 2nd hint of hoss_n2?

Yea, with no use. Again, the problem isn't with the System volume .. Music volume through the headset is greatly loud, it's just the other party's voice during a call :s
Alright, just found out that call volume using wired headset is working perfectly while running Android. Glad it's not a hardware/headset issue.
Mods, you may close the thread now.
I know about the audio booster, but that's just for music (isn't it?). Does anyone else find that ring and message tones sound very shrill and tinny on the HD2? I found an app (Advanced Configuration Tool), which had some sound settings, but didn't seem to do a lot, so I was wondering if there's an app, or a cab somewhere that would 'tone down' the sound, and make it a little 'warmer', if you get what I mean?
Unfortunatly due to it being a tiny mono speaker thats as good as its going to get.
don't expect too much from phone speakers! Just look at the stupid kids walking throught the streets with their cellphones playing their **** music that sounds like crap coming from the tiny speaker. Totally annoying!!
Audio Booster just works when you have connected headphones/speakers via the 3.5mm jack or paired with a bluetooth speaker (I think). Otherwise just turn down the volume a little so it doesn't sound that thin and bad. I always use 2/3 of the max volume and my ringtone mp3s sound ok.
The HD2 mono speaker doesn't come close in terms of sound quality to the Rhodium. It's unfortunate, but I guess HTC couldn't cram another speaker into the HD2. It is pretty darn thin.
Oh well, I guess I'm stuck with it, then. Thanks for the replies.
When I'm using a wired headset to talk to someone on a call the volume is kinda low, I have it set max but its still pretty low, works fine on speaker or BT. Also the same wired headset works very loud when on a movie or music, just low when on a call.
Any fix to this?
Would like to know this aswell... Impossible to hear what people are saying when using the headset
I too find that headset and speaker volume are low. ( comparison to few other phones )
Cannot hear in a noisy environment.
Tried Volume + but does not seem to help .
I experienced this problem as well. Looks like this is a hardware problem (either the pin or the socket).
Try using a different headset - one without a mic. You sould see a significant gain in volume.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Its a hardware issue, swapped my phone for a new one today and dont have the problem anymore.
The service menu edit doesnt really help at all and the volume gain is minimal.
Anyone else having issues like this should request your carrier or samsung for a replacement. It only happens to a handful of phones.
I assume there are two seperate audio chips, the yamaha one for audio and another for voice calls??
Can anyone confirm?
From Day one i have been trying to get good earphones with Mic for nexus 4
tested out more than 6-7 quality earphones with mic like J6M, Klipsh, etc
but the microphone volume on the other end of call is too less compared to apple ear phones( recently switched from iphone)
I have to keep the mic piece really close to my mouth for a good conversation...
can someone help me here.. the mic on nexus 4 works perfect but when i connect earphones the problem begins... i used mic sensitivity apps to test and they pick very less volume from the connected mic
How do i boost the mic sensitivity on earphones or should i return the phone
Will try with my skullcandy's and revert

I'm having the exact same problem - did you find a fix?
I tried quite a few.. expensive as well as cheap ones. finally i got hold of a cheap ear phone set and the volume to the other end is good to be heard (as I have been reported).. While trying them all, I was calling my friend and asking him.. so thats how I know i picked the best one. However, since it extremely loud.. i kinda have to keep it away from my ear a bit and volume on phone is turned down to minimum.. Plus, due to its sheer loudness, I can hear the buzzing sound.. For the first time i noticed it, i.e.: through these extreme loud ear phones. The other party hears it too. Never heard it while on call directly using the ear piece. Strange.

Do you mind me asking which brand headphones you are referring too here? I have the same issue.
I bought from a local shop. It was a knock off of beats audio. The sounds it throws is EXTREMELY loud.
Is it just me, or does the OP make very little sense? I'm completely lost at what he's trying to ask.. Something about the mic? or the sound output of the "earbuds"?
No trouble here with any of the wired earbud sets I've tried. Clear as a bell and no buzzing.
If its so Loud for you, what are you not adjusting the volume? Would kinda of make sense to do so...
Or you could upgrade in your tech and get a bluetooth earbud.. I have absolutely no problem with volume levels from my Jawbone; I'm hear clearly and I can hear them just find (even when driving with all windows down, it sounds like they are right next to me yelling)

Nope, it's you. OP was referring to the mic volume on the headset being low, but in filthykids response, he mentioned that the headphones that solved the quiet mic is also very loud on the earpieces.
Also having the same problem, BTW.
