[Q] Make the Mic Louder... - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

How do you increase the volume on the Mic?

You ask this because other party can't hear you? is that correct?
Making mic gain higher is likely to result in echo or high background noise and is not really a good idea?

yes, it worked when I posted it, must have disappeared off play store, can't find it.
That app worked by changing values in /proc/mic_level
Try it manually to see if your rom/kernel supports it. Below is from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162224
Use a Terminal Emulator or Gscript with the below commands to set gain in REALTIME (even while inside a call)
You can also use the HD2 MIC CONTROL app in Market for easier adjusting.
To set normal mode (handset) gain:
echo '0 350' > /proc/mic_level
To set speakerphone mode gain:
echo '1 600' > /proc/mic_level

How can i get ringtone volume louder ?

I am using Android 2.2 and the ringtone volume is verry low.
How can i get it louder ?
You best bet is to make your own ringtone and increase the volume, then copy the new file to the phone. I usually make ringtones on my PC using Gold Wave. To increase the volume: go to Effect>Volume>Shape Volume, and choose a reasonable higher value. I have been using this program for such a long time, and never had any issues. It works very well.
There are free alternatives like Audacity. I did not try it, but it might be good as well.
There was an app to increase speaker volume, "DSP-based equalizer" but it had to be built into the build as I recall. I tried it before on one of the Desire builds, and I can't say it was useful.
ı have same problemö and couldnt fınd solutıon yet
There is an app, for that.
Called Volume+ .. I think it's paid, but it does the job more than well.

It does work, on all HD2s.
Just make sure you don't have other sound apps (such as DSP Manager) . Either install them or freeze them.
And make sure you are setting it up correctly .
It works just fine here.

Low call volume in NAND builds [PROBLEM]

I see many people have problem with low call volume in NAND builds. Me too.
The problem is only in an incoming call. When I make a call everything is OK and the sound is normal, but when I receive a call it's very very low. I can hardly hear the other side. If I turn on and then off the speaker during the call, the sound becomes normal (as it should be). But it's very annoying to do it on every call.
I've tried different builds with different kernels, different radios, but the problem is still there.
So if anyone has a solution, please post it here.
Delete/move the htcleo.acdb out of etc/firmware and system/etc/firmware and reboot, this should make it somewhat better, overall. But Ringer, notification, alarm, and media volumes are still not where they should be.
in futureshocks nand rom the call voulume is very good and the other sounds too i also tought it's a nand problem but with his build there is no problem
In the JDMS build the volume level is amazingly loud. Check it out.

Do a search, some people have complained about this too, not everyone gets it, but there is a fix for Mic gain, and background noise. I'd do a search but I just woke up and am still looking for pinholes in my eye lids.

you just basicly took out the file that prevents you from getting background noise, hence the htcleo.acdb, thus leaving the default.acdb in its place
if you want a louder overall speaker volume, take out the htcleo.acdb from other builds and swap it with yours. Check file size and dates, g'luck

I gave up on DSP Manager after it never seemed to play music via the right profile (eg, bluetooth headphones would often be played with the "speaker" profile, or other shenanigans)
Then I discovered Vipers Audio! And never looked back... (I have this running on my Note 3)

Wow thanks for the prompt reply dude. I agree Dsp isn't perfect, but it would help compared to stock, it's really awful imo.
So, in your experience has Viper improved the external speaker experience? I'm not so fussed with the 3.5, it's the external sounds that are bugging me.
Thanks

I haven't used it for the external speaker (but it supports this, just as DSP Manager does), but I don't think you'll be disappointed if you were to try it.
FYI: I use the "Lock effect mode" to force my Bluetooth audio profile onto all audio outputs, works a charm.

This could be what I'm looking for, but I'm still relatively new to flashing etc, seems a bit daunting, the installation process? I take it you need to be rooted?

Yes, you need root to complete the install. It goes something like this: install it like a normal APK, open it, it will ask for root privs, once granted, it will autoinstall the audio driver, and then all you need to do is restart. Job done!

Just a thought tho - the Note 3 external driver is small, doesn't it distort easily driving bassy beats?

Yeah, heres my profile I use: *lots* of bass via the Dynamic Subsystem module, EQ that brings out the highs, and the "Extreme Headphone V1" listening device.
The profile files go under your SD Card under the viper4android/profiles directory (if the folder doesn't exist, try saving a profile first to autocreate it)

Dude.....seriously?
Bass is driven by the amount of air the driver can push - Base is omni-directional (i.e.you feel it rather than hearing where it's coming from) so it doesn't really matter where you put your bass unit from a surround sound setup.
If you think the external speaker is going to give ANY sort of bass, you're seriously misguided, sorry!
If the frequency is too low then the unit just won't play it, that's why speakers have a frequency range.

Maybe you increased the values too much? Try 87 or 88.

Re: S10+ auto volume adjustment

Re: S10+ auto volume adjustment
This issue started occuring since day 1 I had the phone. I'm using a radio app to listen to my favourite radio stations. I usually leave the radio running in the background and go to Instagram. After playing a video on Instagram the phone automatically increases the volume of the radio which is really annoying. Is there a way to fix this? I don't want to flash a custom ROM until the warranty is up. I'm willing to root the phone if there is a way for Knox to remain intact.
Not a fix exactly, more of a workaround you could try using this
http://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.android.soundassistant
You can enable volume levels for individual apps.

Yeah something's not right, i just installed and set separate sound volume for Spotify and poweramp, yet they both start at the same level.
The idea is that when you start an app its preset to a particular level.
I will continue tinkering.

Strange. Mine now works as intended but now I get the exact opposite after watching a video. The sound of the radio goes down after I finished watching the video.
One more thing. It also happends if I don't have the Sound Assistant app installed. When the phone is about to increase/decrease the sound it makes a beep.
