Dear XDA-dev-visitors,
I couldn't find any thread about this. But i've noticed that the speaker volume is quite low
I can barely hear the other caller in my room.
But when I play the Xperia Bond trailer, the sound is quite loud.
Is it my phone or is this a common problem?
Are there also any tweaks to make it louder?
I use XperiaTweak V2, but can't find a thing about sound/volume.
I hope someone can help me
I've downloaded some OPTXperiabeta02.cab (not here), it increased the volume of the speaker (at least the one playing sound). The cab also contained an sd card accelerating feature and some more. try to find that one, prolly it helps.

Awesome tip mate... works like nothing else... cheers
So where do I get OPTXperiabeta02.cab from?

does this program only increase ringer volume? or does it increase how loud the caller sounds during a call?

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!!!!!
I bet some of HTC HD2 owners have been trying to improve the dedicated music player with the audio booster app.
Audio booster in my opinion provides a better sound quality overall when switched "ON" and for some picky sound gurus is still not good enough to satisfy.
The recommended option over the htc hd2 forums is to use SRS WOW app for htc but still I think there is a distortion in order to get the better bass,treble,3D sound and music stage level.
I have flashed my t-mobile phone has been flashed about 30 times and most was because in between the all good and stable roms there was a sound quality after has been eq-ed by the booster.
Here what I found out and I don't have a technical explanation since I don't cook and roms.
I install the rom X and then advanced conf utility and then I do audio booster but an old version and restart.
Audio booster older is a bit hard to adjust on HD2 but once you do it you suddenly realizing the music quality is better in terms of bass,treble and stage.
How come? I always ask myself and the closest answer i get is the different driver in the Win MO 6.5 system.
If anybody has any thoughts and willing to share I'll be happy to listen.
I have to tell you guys even on a very low volume the bass is vibrating and your ears shaking. I have my UE Pro 10 professional musician phones sound amazing like there is an additional amplifier for boosting the eq settings.
This is the audio booster.cab I'm using making a big difference:
Htc_Audio Booster-VGA-OldMod
My adv. config has audio booster settings changed to very high on treble,bass and 3D.
Give me your thoughts and advise what is the reason I get a better sound with an older HTC audio booster app.
Get SRS WOW app. You can tweak all of the auso settings.

Understood and many thanks for all your advices guys!
Question:
I tried a few different versions of SRS including the latest one to my knowledge 2.3 and I noticed the balance moves to the left.
Anybody has the same problem?
The sound is great and 3D takes great effect.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
I'm a 50+ old punk/new wave musician and rock fan. I don't have any greater hearing problems, but the sound level, playing media files from whatever source, with my (wired) headphones on my HTC Wildfire is TOO LOW. Especially when I'm in the underground/metro, or in other places with a quite normal to loud background noise.
I think there ought to be at way or possibility to increase the sound volume permanently, after my own standards and requests, without having to root the phone or buy software.
I found some hints in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884188, but that is only supposed to work until you restart the phone, then you have to do it again. I haven't tried this on my Wildfire yet, since I'm not sure how well it turns out.
Any ideas, solutions or best shots, anybody?
Best wishes,
Goran, Stockholm (otherwise quite satisfied with my Wildfire)
Search for dsp manager. Not sure it works for stock/sense but we have it on cm7 and works a treat.
Hope this helps

Try getting some noise isolating earphones/headphones. A good quality pair will make so much more difference.
Thanks for the suggestion, f0xy, but it seems like I have too root the phone and I'm already messing enough with my computers, so I've at least had the intention not to mess with my Wildfire as well... ;-)
There is an app on the market called volume boost that is supposed to increase the volume level on wildfire headphones.
I think the volume on the phone itself is way too low. When playing videos etc i find i'm constantly putting my hand behind the phone speakers to deflect the sound to my ears. I think there is a health and safety regulation being enforced to deliberately lower the volume levels on phones. I read that somewhere concerning Sony Ericsson walkman phones. There was a way to extract the file from the phone, modify it on pc and restore the modded file. Not sure if the same sort of thing is possible on htc phones.
poweramp for example has an equalizer that allows you to boost treble, midd and bass, so making the sound louder overall... But there may be better solutions
This works for me: http://www.appbrain.com/app/volume-boost/com.kiboweb.android.desiresoundunlock
Thanks, I'll check it out.
Hey all, I find the volume levels on the phone pretty low. To overcome I was earlier using Viper4android which had an issue of randomly ceasing to work, and then open the app fiddling around before it would start working again.
Now for the last few weeks I'm using this app from playstore called volume booster goodev and has been doing a good job at increasing the volume. But this has similar issues randomly ceasing to work, then open the app, fiddle around and the volume is enhanced again.
Trying to figure out if there's a way that I wouldnt have to fiddle around with whichever app I'm using frequently to bump it up again. As I understand, there must be some default setting which overrides it every now and then.. If there was a way to tweak that original config, it would sort out these issues.
Anyone has any experience on this? Thanks!
Anyone / anything? Am I the only one that feels the volume is low on the device?
Maybe disabling app battery optimization will fix your issue?

Definitely a great thought, completely forgot about that Now I've added the app to the non optimized list. Let's see if it shuts down again.
Although would love to embed it at the config level where I don't have to run any app to achieve the sound boost. I have no issue with the quality, just increasing the sound.
Thanks!
