I KNOW. there are many threads about this.
As you might agree with, the ring tone volume is one of the worst things with this phone.
I've looked everywhere for an anser to this question but they just keep complaining, not explaining.
The Xperia ringvolume is too low and i'd realy like some one to tell me how to fix this. Both in multimedia and when it rings.
I've tried the AudioPara3 and the SRS and neither worked.
please...
The volume on mine is plenty loud, you sure it's not the ringtones you are using? I have heard of people damaging the speaker with excessively loud sounds being played through it.

This is what half the peaple say
It depends on what you are use to.
My very old k500i is about the same as the Xperia but my last phone and the one before that (k850i, k800i) felt like more than double the volume of the xperia.
With the k850i i listend to some music once while driving the car and i had volume 7/10 and it was REALY loud and clear but now with the xperia i have it on max volume and it's barley hearble.
I know the speaker could do better because i tried converting a song with 600% volume and it realy went louder without any distortion at all.
I don't want to do this to every song i want to listen to since i have about 800 of them...
What baffles me most is the freaggin' speaker location. The handset is designed for right-handed use. However, the speaker broadcasts sounds on the left side of the handset (with slide closed). Therefore, it's easy to muffle any sound broadcast from the handset if cupped with the left hand. The scenario proves the same if trying to converse in speakerphone mode. You constantly need to re-adjust your hand in order to not muffle the sound.
I would agree that the speaker volume is softer the most SE handsets. I still have my 3 yr old P990i around which utilizes the same incoming call wave file. There is a very significant (at least 2:1) difference in volume between the two.

it really is terribly placed; that little slit is so easily completely sealed off by even a fingertip.

You can find some useful information there. On most of the threads I have been through, most of the people recommend OPTXperiabeta02.cab.. Will try to find a link to download and post it here.. But, I haven't tried it myself yet, so don't kill me if it damages your speaker.. People who have used it said that they had to decrease the volume, so I would advice you to do the same
OPTXperiabeta02.cab here
I used this fix posted in another thread before.
IT Works GREAT, the volume is a lot higher than before!
It's called optxperia beta version 2 from http://ixperia.ru/soft/winmobile/51-opt-xperia.html
hope it helps!
Where can you find the app after you have installed it? Can't find it either in programs, nor in settings.. And it doesn't seem like the sound have improved any..
I find that cranking up the System Volume (not just the Ring Volume!) is a must when using mp3's as ringtone... otherwise it's v. quiet.
It should have prompted you for a reset after installing the app.
It can be found in settings -> remove programs -> it's called Auanti by Davide Gialli OptXperia
I just installed this and....wow, this may be too loud..lol good find. thanks a lot.

I removed it, and downloaded it from another site, and that one prompted for a soft reset. But I was just wondering whether you can edit the options (HOW much loader, if it only works when you receive calls, or also playing music, etc.)..? I found it on the location you posted, but there I can only remove it When I woke up this morning, the alarm sounded much higher than before, I had to turn the volume down, so I think its working quite well
Be careful with that cab - it does a fair few things:
1. Replaces 3d driver
2. Adds HTCAPI.dll to Windows (used by some 3d apps)
3. Replaces audiopara3 files (controls volume amongst other things)
4. Amends the threaded SMS layout
5. Replaces MMS settings
6. Turns off SIP autodeploy
7. Amends RAM cacheing etc.
8. Amends SD read settings
9. Changes Wifi g settings.
I'm sure they're all improvements on someone's ROM, somewhere but may end up messing up yours.
Seriously, get yourself MSCEInf and analyse these before installing - it's an extremely useful program. The only part you need is the audiopara3 csv files...

Is there a guide to this akp?
Ok so definately increases volume?, but does that result in noticeable lack of quality? (ie do louder tones sound bad)
Would it be possible to install this after flashing to Touch it or Touch X rom for example? or would that be incompatible?
thanks

Thanks so much for the info. I installed this program awhile back, and though the volume is better, I've had little problems with my phone since. Do you know if uninstalling the program will change the settings back to what they were before? If not, I need to flash a new ROM, anyway.

do we need to re-flash. or can we just UN-install. and then get the right audiopara3 csv files that we need?

Hello,
I have been working on a new audioswitch app to replace troca2 and audioswitch.
I have started to make a new app called audioswitch v2 but soon ran out of time... and xiexin1008 got the project and had made and new experimental app.
Today, I had some free time, and made other app with a "switchclass" that deal with all the ril stuff(based on my first class that is on the Xiexin project), so others can improve and use it even as a dll in c#(u have to build it as a dll first)
I called it "simple audioswitch".
How it works: run the program and "put it on the background"
volume "up and down" switch the audio.
volume "down and up" close the app.
if an incomming call shows up, the audio will be routed back.
I have tested it only in my p3301. so I do not know if it works or not in other phones.
Once more the license:
It is free code, free binaries, and all work derived from it.
use at your own risk and I am not responsible for nothing...
Support on the forum.
-------------------------------------------------------
about the various methods of switch the audio...
mostly uses drivers messages.
u can find very useful information about it at www.teksoftco.com, even a audio driver wrapper that spy at audio messages.
by this time it is not for me, too busy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
will open sorce of this app so others can inprove it.
Thanks to Xiexin, I will not post his work now, will wait for his email.
Thanks Dan-Marius to all the feedback.
Thanks.
Hop u like. sorry for the messy code(is an one hour work).
@MarceloFB
The ideea of listeninng RIL for incomming calls is a very good one! Congratulation, you did a great job. Yes, a really great one.
The simpleAudioSwitch.cab file is attached.
Guys, it works very fine.
Thank you Marcelo!
I tried this program and I like using hardware keys pattern to change audio. I like the most that I don't have to change the way buttons worked before. this is the best solution I saw till now.
But there's is still a problem. It seems all programs of this sort use same procedure to route audio. But when audio is routed in my phone it seems it doesn't come from internal speaker. Or maybe not exclusively from internal speaker.
Sound still can be heard from external speaker but quieter.
So I can say now that we have good user interface but routing mechanism needs to be improved.

The "routing mechanism" is using RIL lib, by now thre is no other "easy avaliable" way to rout the audio.
Try changing the radio or the entire rom of your phone, I have tested in touch cruise this method and works fine, but with the stock rom.
can you please tell me which ROM, radio and protocol version have you tried it with, so I can try the same and compare with this one I have?

Great app.
Just started using it on my HTC Touch HD with Dutty ROM v3.3. It seems as though Up & Up switches the audio for me (not up and down). Down and Up exits the app.
what is the basic use of this prog...
Also, earphone is silent when the phone is on vibrate (and probably when it's on silent too although I haven't tested it).
Any way of fixing this?

Request
Hi,
I still use the old version with mortscript to control the program and I love it .
I have a request for this new version.
1 - Can we decide which key controls the audio switching ? ( Since I have a Fuze and I have a PTT button which I never use )
2 - also is it possible to add the bluetooth handfree to audio switch options as well ? sometime when I'm driving I love to use my voip or skype over 3G using my bluetooth handfree .
Sincerely
Thunder
Will there be a new version, which is working with Skype 3.0 mobile beta?
I am having problems trying to get this to work with my Benq e72 phone running Windows Mobile 5.
I am trying to use it at the same time as Ageet Agephone mobile 2.76.
http://www.ageet.com/us/products-agephone-mobile.htm
It seems like Agephone mobile 2.76 takes over controls of the volume up and down button.When I push the up and down volume control button it just wants to change the volume and not switch the speaker/earpiece - I can't get Audioswitch to work. [Maybe I am not doing something simple properly?] But at least it installs correctly.
So then I try AudioRoute http://www.teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1995
Unfortunately this won't install properly - it says something like:

I have tried modifying the cab file like it says here on the teksoftco forum:
I'm also a creator of WinMo apps (www.saman-cz.com), so I know that recreating cab is just a piece of cake.
But OK. To modify cabinet get WinCE Cab Manager (trial is good enough), open cab, go menu Cabinet->Properties, Operating System tab, set minimum version to 5.0 and maximum to 9.9, hit Ok, then File->Save
Just another result from my tests:
After restarting phone I tried rerouting once more and the microphone worked well. Weird but nice

Thanks
Well if you wantto select what you want to tweak. I recommend you to use Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3. It work very well with Topaz.
You can get it at the following thread.
Advance Configuration Tools v3.3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151
For 2 Ways In Call Recording you can refer to the two threads:-
Using ACR - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=528507&highlight=Ways+Call+Recording
Just to enable the 2 Way In Cal Recording you can use 2_Way_Plus_InCall_Recording.cab but this you need to click record in order to record the call and it record to the main memory in wav format.
Just let me know what you need and I will try to lead you to the correct thread.
Cheers.

Thanks to All
Hi All,
Thank you for your support and will look forward to the reviews from you guys.
Have a nice day ahead.
Advanced Config Tool
It would be great if you can merge the items from Advanced Config Tool customized for Topaz.
Thanks for your effort and sharing it with us.
Hi ili,
Personally I am using Advance Config Tool also but I felt that some of the tweaks are not compatible with Topaz so I went to look for the tweaks individually and try them out, but every time I need to key them in one by one. So that is why I came out with this cab file for the tweaks that I have used on my own Topaz.
These tweaks that I had complied are tested working fine on my Topaz and it safe me a lot of trouble when I hard reset my Topaz for testing purposes. Just need to install the cab and all the tweaks that I always used are load within seconds.
I think I have covered most of the tweak that has being highlighted in Advance Config Tool just that you can't change the value. And I believe Advance Config Tool is create for general usage not just target for a specific device.
Let me know which tweak would you like me to add in this cab. I will be glad to do so.
Cheers.

No, you need to click on the record then it will record if you want to record all calls automatically, I would recomend you to use ACR.
The tweak I use only enable the function of call recording which was disabled by the manufacture.
Feel free to ask me questions about the tweaks I would try my best to answer them.
Verry good i'am going to test in regedit.

That is what I thought so also when I start tweaking my Topaz. Had tried both HD & Diamond tweak but it is due to the location that the registry are being stored it defer abit from diferent devices and Topaz also have its some uniqueness also.
So I came to understand it and started consolidating the perfect blend myself and guess this is what I come out with.
Don't know its my ear or what?
Hi people,
I don't know if its my ear or what? My Topaz volume is soft and sometime I have problem listening to the other party on the other line.
I came across this tweak for other devices and started trying it out on my Topaz and it seems to work fine.
So I decide to share it with you guys whom maybe having the same problem as I am.

Hi Jumbo65,
Well this tweaks are actually tested on Topaz and proven working. I have not tested it on other device.
You can give it a try, the following tweaks should work becuase I used them before on my Kasier before such as the following:-
1. Enable SMS wake up event
2. Prevent screen switching off during phone call
3. Move Emails & Attachment to Storage Card
4. SD Card Tune up
5. GPS Tweaks
My advice is try it out with care make sure you back up before trying.
Let me know if it work on your device.
Cheers.

Actually I'm considering installing your tweak all together even if it means that I have to uninstall some of the features which I have on my D2 indivi dually (camera mods,SD Card Tune Up etc). I only asked about the option to turn on and off the call recorder app. because I don't need to record all my calls.
Thank you for this tweaks and for your interest.
First sorry for my English, this is a post created in Italian and then translated using Google translator
Hello Guys then here it takes a joint effort !!!!!!
I recently replaced the Touch2 with HD Mini. Ok aesthetics sensors display the machine.... ops ...... maybe I'm exaggerating.
The problem is that the simple little things as raising the volume of the ring (already tried AudioPara3, with fully functional touch2) and rotate the display with TomTom7 (already tried all the programs you use the G-sensor and not see change strings register and so on, among other things, working with Touch2 long press the call button) I can not find solution.
Or rather .... AudioPara3 once installed completely excluded volume, and it took a total hardreset to restore the sound.
I would increase the volume of mp3 play as a ringtone, or very low, but for now not find the right method .While to rotate the TomTom gets to the point that the navigation wheel, but just call the menu crashes, the TomTom is closed and returns to the screen.
Then I ask the guru HTC ...... How? Who can help me.?
For now, thanks to all and see you soon.
Hello
I've flashed the WP7 ROM for HTC HD2 which YukiXDA has posted in the developer section. Seems to run fine and the ability to send over cab-files to the phone just like official updates is amazing!
But I've got one little problem. Already searched the forum and posted in the ROM thread itself, but nobody seems to know the answer. Well, the point is that the volume is way too loud. After installing the ROM it starts with a volume of 15/30 which should be the average sound.. and it's horribly loud =/ I've seen that there's a cab which should fix it called "DEV_VOLUME_LOW.cab" - but I can't find it anywhere. Also tried google.. no luck
Maybe YukiXDA has removed the file by accident.. so can anyone tell me where I can get this cab-file?
Thanks in advance,
experience7
Okay.. after searching for a long time I found out that the file is called
DEV_VOLUME_LOW_LEO.cab
and I also found it on a chinese site
- experience7
Does it work? What is your experience with it?
Thanks
Well, the thing is that I'm now using Pdaimatejam's ROM and it's awesome! The WP7 Cab Sender threw out an error while I was trying to update to v8779 so I changed - and I guess this ROM fits me better It's also like a stock ROM (no custom designs, no limitations), it's updateable through Zune and via .cab-files, and it's fully unlocked (With ROM by xboxmod and YukiXDA you have to use WP7 Root Tools to set some apps as 'Trusted' - and even then some of them don't work [Like the Digital Power app]).
- experience7
too loud? turn down the volume. besides, the cab in.question is still on yuki's ftp site. besides, there is volume driver setting in leo advanced of which you have installed.
and pdaj's rom is not zune updateable...never was.
It's not just like turning down the volume. All sounds were noisy even if the volume level was 5/30. They were much too loud and distorted. Well, but just forget the app - i use pdaimatejam's ROM now. But anyway: I can't find it in the FTP repository. I can only find the .cab to set back to default (and noisy) volume: DEV_VOLUME_LOW_LEO_REMOVE.cab - I was looking for the DEV_VOLUME_LOW_LEO.cab which isn't there I guess. So I googled it and found it on a chinese site and.. it worked just fine.
Thanks for the information about the driver in LEO advanced. Didn't know about it.
Oh, OK. But the last thing I need are updates via Zune They're damn slow (everytime the whole system gets backed up; ...) and sometimes they just don't work. I had a problem updating Yuki-xboxmod ROM...
Anyway, just forget about this thread because the problem is pretty much solved.
