Does anyone else noticed this ?
The Alarm sound is too loud and cant be changed using the main volume !
Any idea why its like that or any fix for it !
Install reg editor
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume]
"MaxdBAtten"=dword:2D (2D = 45)
change the value from 45 to 70
It seems ChevronWP7 doesnt work anymore for me , is there anyother way to do it ?
I cant install anything on the phone other than MarketPlace apps
ChevronWP7 works for everyone, close all your dropbox, antivirus, itunes, firefox, iplayer etc...CNTRL ALT DEL windows task manager, kill selected programs.
after installing a reg editor, im glad my wp7 looks a bit more tinkerable
also theres some sort of hiss that apparently has been around since the high volume bug, but only noticed now when level 1 is much softer
this hiss reminds me of those cheap ass logitech speakers I have when theres no sound playing lol, i hope this can be fixed in the future...

I have tried this and performed a reset and the alarm volume is still a lot louder than any other system sounds. Is there something that I'm missing? or another method?
Same problem...
I have the same issue.
Out of the box the the main volume for music, ring and in call volume can be controlled via the main control but the notification and alarm volume is very high and seamingly independant from the main volume level.
After tweaking the registry value:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume\MaxdBAtten
... from 6 to 80 the overall system volume decreased including system notifications but the alarm sound is still much higher than all other levels. I never sleep through it anymore - which is a plus - but dropping it slightly would be nice.
Same thing here... I'm scared out off sleep That's not very plesent.
Any registry tweak for this situation?
For me this worked (for 50% sound volume):
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Alarm\InitVol = 50 (integer)

Great registry tweak!
The loud alarm sound was the last really annoying bug in the first release of the DFT WP7 ROM.
okay so someone guide me plaese, i lovw WP7 but im currently on andriod cuz of the volume issue & the camera.
how do i adjust the super ultra loud volume?
and how do i fix the loud alarm?
guide...
Make sure your pc has Zune 4 and .netframework 4 installed (.net is needed to run chevron and "TomXAPdeployer")
1. unlock your handset with chevron.
2. Use an "TomXAPdeployer" to install a registry editor to your handset. It's available on XDA if you serach a bit (i've attached below -just remove the ".zip" extension at the end of the filename).
3. Make the following registry chage to reduce the violume of your notifications:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume]
"MaxdBAtten"=dword:2D (2D = 45)
change the value from 45 to 70
4. Create this registry entry to reduce the volume of the alram:
[HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Alarm]
"InitVol = 50 (integer)"
You might need to reboot your phone just to tidy everything up.
The tweaks work well.
I did it the harder way? Went to marketplace and downloaded the Media Volume setting on the free trial. Works a treat for me.
Maybe I should try the easy way, of changing reg files tweeking things?? NOT.
Hmmm
I did looked at that App, as far as i can see it just chages the registry vlaues for you to suit certain profiles.
Seems like a nice app - but changing the reg values manually saves a few pence and avoids having to install another piece of software...
What ever way works best for you.

Am I reading this right that people are complaining the alarm is too loud? It's an alarm, it's supposed to be loud.

Hi all,
The audio on my Jam (predominantly the output from the built-in speaker) was driving me a little nuts. I was getting stuttering and clicks in programs (games), in movies (WMV) and using the phone. Also, there was a lot of stutter in the notifications for incoming calls and SMS.
In attempting to resolve this, I noticed that GB-SOFT Tweak (http://www.gb-soft.cz/XDAII/products.htm) had an
interesting setting "Higher priority for audio media". I turned on this setting, soft reset, and Wham! sounds are as
smooth as butter globally. I haven't had any noticeable negative side effects, just better sounds.
I looked into what the GB-SOFT utility is doing, and it seems to just be setting one registry value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\Priority256
from it's default
0x100 (256) to
0x80 (128)
This apparently gives the built-in sound processing DLL (WaveDev) a higher thread priority and eliminates the skipping sound.
Can some of you guys try this out (either via the GB-SOFT utility, or manually in the registry), and confirm your results?
This got rid of one of the most annoying problems for me with my Jam (A great device).
YMMMV
I've just changed it to 80 and i'm going to do some tests tonight. I'll post again with the results...
Well, i've tested it and i found that while it does a lot of improvement on the sounds played from the back speaker (media player, ringtones etc.), it doesn't improve at all the audio quality from the front speaker. (I called a couple of friends...but it was still the same, robot, voice quality)
For the tests i went up to 500 (terrible audio, full of clicks and tsiks) and down to 20...
I'll continue the tests.... :?
Hi,
Good thing ! Thanks for the test
On my MDA Compact, the Priority256 key has the DWord value 110 (0X00006E). So I have no idea how to change the setting to 0X80 (128). Anyone know how to do this? I am interested in testing the results.
Using a registre editor like regedit I think.
I am using PHM regedit, that's how I found the settings I posted. But no idea what to put into that setting to change it to the settings posted in thsi thread. I will use the GB prog instead and see what it does.
Koksie I have the same problem with Resco explorer registry plug-in... :roll: Will try the regedit at home...

Koksi, if that is your default, then you actually have an ever higher priority set by default then GB-SOFT Tweak sets.
Hmm, I'm wondering if some other software (Or GB-SOFT Tweak itself) else lowered my priority to 0x100 (256) causing my problems in the first place.
GB-SOFT Tweak definitely sets the value to 0x80 (128) when you turn the option on, and resets it back to 0x100 (256) when you turn it off.
Can anyone else quickly check the value of this registry setting without using GB-SOFT Tweak?
Same here. The default was 110....
my default was 256 and I know I've had terrible clicking sound when I tried to install a couple of games.
I have the same settings as Koskie. 0x6E (110) The sound from my rear speaker is ok so far no problems when playing mp3s and during alerts. So I guess I will not apply this tweak for the meantime.
my default was 100....i didnt notice any difference..(qtek s100)
My default value is 0x6E (110) - haven't tried the tweak yet.

Andrew, if you set it to 110 you will have much better sound.
Everyone else, if you're already below 128, you're fine. Somehow a couple of devices (Andrrew, mine) got off the imate factory default (which seems to be 110) causing really bad sound.
Of course if you want some fun, you can manually set it to 256 and soft-reset to see how bad it is, then set it back ;-)
Hi everybody,
a lot of you on this thread seem to know quite a bit about registry settings and routine priorities. Could you please take a look at the problem in this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=99678#99678
Thanks!
My report:
Mine is 110 (factory default).
Set to 80, and found the sound is less clicking when hearing from the phone (talk like normal handphone, not from the speaker phone at bottom).
For sound like from Windows Media Player 10, or phone ringtones (midi), looks like the sound is a bit soft than before, but clearer.
I keep on 80.
Best regards,
Arto
hi have to report something weird! anyway a few posts up I said my default was 128... however I noticed that my mp3s seem to be playing out of sync or choppy and the quality was worse than before my ROM upgrade. when I checked the value it was set to 256. I'm not saying it is the ROM's fault as I have also installed/tried some other apps after the ROM upgrade and maybe these apps were responsible for lowering the audio quality for my JAM (maybe for performance purpose) anyway I've set it back to 128 and the sound is better. Maybe for people just about to do the ROM upgrade can check the before and after value so we know if it is the ROM doing the changing or just some apps.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR A GREAT THREAD!
After posting this same question here (BA Forum) and at howard forums I finally found this thread. I had the bad clicking/skipping during mp3 in WMP and during wav playback in the voice in GPS nav. My setting was 128 but I already installed the GB-Soft tweak. I still had the poor performance. I adjusted down to 110 and all problems seem to be gone. It definitely was some devious app that made a change because my device did not do this for a long time then it suddenly began. BTW, I have a pda2k not Jam. Anyway, thanks so much to all for a solution this was driving me nuts.
Thanks for the HACK !!
My device had the default value of 110, changed to 80. There's a definite improvement in the audio quality.
Thanks again.
When I try to use the sound equalizer it just says I have to connect a headset - but I have a BT headset connected!!!
Is there any registry hack to make it work with BT Headsets and not just usb ones?
Does anyone else have this problem?
We talk about HTC Audiobooster?

Well that sucks!
I've had the same problem - very irritating.
however, look up and download SRS WOW HD - install, reboot the phone.
The Audio Booster disappears from the HTC Music Player, and you have a settings option for the SRS WOW HD. It does take a bit of processor time, and a fair bit of tweaking of its options, but it does make the Dual sound quite nice.
Shame about the occasional "break" in the music though.
THis Programm work ONLY with the Kabel Headset!!!

Does SRS WOW HD work with bluetooth headsets?
Yes it does, but you need Edit your Registry, too support your Blue Tooth driver.
Here a Copy from a Thread about this task:
That worked through BT headset it is necessary to copy all parameters from [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Wave Dev] in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\BtA2dpSnd
Except for value of parameter "OldDriver", he should be such, as was "DLL"
For example:
Before
"DLL" = "bta2dp.dll"
After
"DLL" = "WOWHD_ARM_WCE_PPC2005_Driver.dll"
"OldDriver" = "bta2dp.dll"

To have real stereo with your bluetooth stereo headphone you have to change the following registry key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings
Change the UseJointStereo value 1 to 0.
The value 1 means dual mono, value 0 means stereo
Importent ... befor you edit ... you must 100% know what is your device blue tooth driver!!! different HTC Device ... different Drivers!

That happened to me too, needed a pesky hard reset. Can anyone explain the reg changes again?
this are the reg changes and it works! if its a big problem for the most guys, i can provide a modded version for Qualcomm Devices. i need only few min. to edit.
I did a hard reset to get my phone working again. I don't know what it was that stopped the sound on my phone but I just have to make do with standard instead
Stopped? You mean the little breaks?
Oh ... this isnt a SRS WOW problem! it is possible you tweak your device with some registry settings? Breaks in the Audiostream have many reasons. the most are ...
Buffer in the Blue Tooth Stack are to high
Buffer in the File System are to high and the MicroSD Card go in the deep power down mode (this problem can you have, if you here a very large file and a big part can stay in your ram!)
you switch to the next track (this is the most reason)
process task doesnt become enough resources (possible ... )
generel powermanagment problems
all this bracks are only timing problems of many parts in your device!!!
No, not the pauses issue that others have referred to - after installing SRS WOW and making the registry changes I had no sound at all during phone calls. Music worked fine but when I called someone or when they called me then I couldn't hear them and they couldn't hear me.
I had to hard reset to fix the problem.
/Hass
Did anybody succeeded with xt7500 + srs wow over bluetooth ?
at least tried myself and at the moment no progress.
Before reg keys copy BT worked well and connected with
headset. After keys copy ppc BT menu indicted that wireless stereo are'nt
avaliable.
Is it nescessary copy over also same named settings ? example
both folders have before copy same named settings, like index, etc.
Good comments appreciated.

If you added bluetooth support to SRS and lost sound (or downloaded a cab with bluetooth support builtin) you need to follow the earlier instruction warnings, namely:
Preserve your Index, Prefix, and OldDriver settings so that they match what was previously specified in your BTA2DPSND registry folder (with the contents of olddriver matching whatever was in driver).
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.

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.

and has been tested and working 100%
I've decided to share a ONCE-AND-FOR-ALL solution for all the X2 users and the general population of windows mobile users.
Here's the solution:
First, you need totalcommander. Google it.
1) Open TotalCommander
2) Go to ftp\\registry\HKCU
3) Change ALL the following to the value specified:
HKCU/Control Panel\Phone\vol\65535 (General volume of the X2 including microphone input!)
HKCU/ControlPanel/SoundCategories/InCall/Initvol\5
HKCU/ControlPanel/SoundCategories/Ring/5
HKCU/ControlPanel/SoundCategories/System/5
HKCU/ControlPanel/SoundCategories/Attentuation\All to 5
HKCU/ControlPanel/SoundCategories/InCall/InitVol\5
HKCU/ControlPanel/SoundCategories/Ring/InitVol\5
4) Soft-reset
5) Press the volume up key and set it to the 5th indicator (Max)
6) Press volume up key 1 more time, and you will hear an additional beep 200% louder and the indicator marker remains the same at the 5th marker on the top. This means you have sucessfully tweaked your volume!
6) Do step 5 again with in-call and congrats!
Enjoy your beloved X2 =)
I am satisfied with the default volume levels and will leave it as is.
Do note people, increasing output levels beyond the specified levels can damage your speakers!
sounds good. is it possible for someone to make a registry file of this? so we can just run it and it does it all for us noobs lol. (like the sd card fix)
although im not sure i need to increase the microphone input level, is it possible to leave that out.
Couldn't get totalcomander to work!!!! Which file did you download? It says if you have a touchscreen to download the pocket pc version...Did you download the installer or just the cab files? Thanks.

Hi, would you mind clarifying this value/number. In the first value my default is 65535... are you saying that this value should just be '5'. Not 55555?
thanks

i'm sorry but can u please make a cab file as i'm a noobie i don't want to stuff up my phone and have to do a master reset.
If your capable of making a cab file for this, trust me a lot of people will be happy and appreciate it.

You dont have to use totalcommander. Since it is a registry tweak, you can use a simple Registry Editor that you can download from Windows Marketplace for free
Bro.
I think if the cab file available, it more pleasure like audiopara cab file
TQ

Didn't find any change.
No changes to my xperia x2 either..
I've been dealing with low volume issue of WM since my O2 atom but not for my Samsung Valencia (c6625), so I just copied all samsung's ringtones and alarms from my valencia and use it in my X2, hahaha . they are sound nicer and louder! SE could have done much much better providing us lots of (nice and loud) ringtones just like samsung did.
i have found a program that increases your volume
Many Many Many thanks to HS_LuKa_ i want to tell that the application is perfect and sound is very loud and if u receive error when run it first time just restart the phone ,
thanks again HS_LuKa_
Hello,
Does anyone know if there or how to fix the DFT WP7 HD2 volume control. I have the phone on 1 or 2 and it is still very loud. Love the DFT work. Not complaining just wondering if it can be fixed.
Tks,
CM
Confirmed. The phone is very loud even on 1 volume level.
Same problem here. Seems there a few little bugs with SD cards, wifi and sound but over all its an excellent first ROM. I'm sure over time these bugs will be fixed.
seem t-moblie HD2's suffer from solid message blocks and message text missing too
confirmed. hope they will come out with some solution! but since it's the first build, i do expect some bug will appear.
Use your Reg editor to change the MaxdBAtten value data for 45 to 70 and then reboot your phone.
[HKCU]ControlPanel\Volume
EDIT: Left out the MaxdBAtten

Oops I left that bit out!! It is MaxdBAtten that you change from 45 to 70
Many thanks everyone, can confirm that this works. Only thing it hasn't improved is how loud zune is when playing music through phone speaker - anyone know the reg entry for this?
question: does it fix the sound quality???? i mean, being loud is one thing, but the sound sounds so horrible i cant stand it over 5 in volume... i compared and Android doesnt suffer this, so i doubt its a blown speaker...

this is what i mean, the reg edit has improved sound balance overall, but playing zune though phone speaker over about 14ish on volume setting sounds distorted. i think its still too loud even though system volume is now better.

Will a higher value be less loud, for exemple will 80 be softer then 70. My volume is still loud at 70. Changing the value from 45 to 70 didn't make a noticeble difference.
