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!!!!!
Hello firends,
do you know an equalizer which is not necessary to play music, one that works all the time in the backround... which is also active when the phone starts ringing, or plays the sms tone ?
The original sound quality is really poor so this could help us out...
Well, the phone won´t be a ghettoblaster, but maybe we can get a better sound in daily life
Thanks!
MOD Edit: Moved to General.

Nothing new here?
Hi
I've used XBmod WP7 ROM and the in call volume is far too quiet and people have a hard time hearing me on the phone (no Sound Enhancer can't make the caller volume any louder) and I was just wondering is this a problem that all WP7 ROMs share or is it just XBmod's ROM or is there a way to boost the caller volume? This is the only thing really stopping me from going to WP7 full time.
I've only used the original DFT rom & the Twilight rom. In the original it seemed louder than in the Twilight rom. I have to use headphones on calls or I can't hear much of the conversation. But I love this rom other than that, plus I don't feel like re-loading all my apps. Wish it was a little more simple to re-load them like on winmo. But don't get me wrong, I love WP7 & the Twilight roms, I just need to figure out how to fix this on my own, I think.
From what I've read/heard though, most roms are too quiet in-call for me especially.
Please Please PLease read FAQ thread before asking anything......

Anyways this is answer to your question,
Q - How do i increase the in call volume, its set to max (10) but is still too quiet?
A - Change this reg key : HKCU/ControlPanel/Volume/MaxinCallUIVolume from 10 to 15 (15 is loud enough for me, be careful going much higher)
This does not work, have tried it. It won't make the volume any louder. It just makes the increments smaller but DOES NOT change the volume. Just because it's a sticky doesn't make it true, lol.
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
It does work.... I have tested it and thats why I am suggesting...Just not because it is sticky...I am using frantic ROM
I've tried it as well & it has made no difference in the Twilight rom. Many others have said the same. Glad it works for you, but it doesn't for many of us.
It doesnt work...it just makes the increments smaller, but the max output is still the same. I went as high as 30 and its exactly the same. Can anyone say placebo effect "hardik1us"...
Try this ROM by Ansar, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510444
You wont be dissapointed the volume level is quite good in all areas (Speaker/Headset/Phone)

Compared to litening rom 1.4 the max spl is to low with litening rom ver 1.5 some songs from pink floyds echos (greeatest hits) are just not loud enought. Is there way to fix it ? Don't want to use woodoo kernel (not optimized for litening rom)
Get power amp and select the preset for loud speakers or something similar to that and it should be fine also the app equaliser might work well but i think you might have to change the frequencies manually.
I've just updated my Galaxy S2 with this lite' 1.5.
My first feeling in music apps is that sound isn't good as in stock Rom KF2.
Anyone experience this problem?
And how to fix this.
Thanks.
yep same problem here .. past 5 days i spent experimenting with audio settings n tools like volume+ etc.. nothing seems to be working.. when u compare song n sound qaulity to my old samsung wave.. wave is much cris,clear n ten times louder..
does this get fixed on newer versions?
Hello
I have problem with understanding mixer path ( or perhaps something else )
For last weak im trying to switch my recording mic from loud speaker to normal speaker. Because my wife accidently destroyed my mic. Works only when im using laud speaker conversation or bluetooth mic.
As I understand there are 2 mic in this phone. 1 that's for normal conversation, and 2 that is used when im video recording and make laud speaker voice calls yes ??
What in mixer path says voice-speaker-mic - use this device?? handset-mic - use 1 mic or something like that ??
are there any ways to learn this better than trying this and that ??
or is this specific to phones ( like nubia have different naming than samsung etc ?? )
Tried some answers from this site, but always with the same result. Phone freeze when im trying to call.
Im attaching my mixer file maybe someone better can help me learn something and fix this problem.
( I thought also about switching for new mic but there aren''t any 100% working parts cheep enough )
