It seems that there is a problem with the lock sounds. Ive tried sevral HD roms and all do this. The sounds are not coming out of the rear speaker. it seems like they are sounding out of the ear speaker. Need help figuring this out. Also when tring to stream spb app i get no video, i only get sound. Again, this is not just on one Desire HD rom, its in all of them. currently running [NAND]CMYLXGO's Desire HD rom
edit: I downloaded (Volume Master Free) form the market and turns out that my system sound was below 50%, i brought it to about 75% and lock sounds are normal now. But still have the streaming problem Happy New Year
Hi all,
I've always felt that when playing music on my DHD that it's too quiet, when I've listened to music through my headphones I would say it's acceptable however when I've plugged my DHD into a HiFi or into my stereo in my car I could crank the volume to full control without it been deafening. I happen to find a fix yesterday by accident, I had my DHD plugged into my car stereo and the phone rang, I pulled the audio cable out and answered the phone, when I was done I put the cable back in and immediately I was like WTF just happened now, the music was much louder than what it was before I answered the phone, I would say it was about 30% louder.
I tested my theory by stopping the music and unplugging the cable, plugged the cable back in and started the music, while it was playing I opened the phone and simply dialled any random number and ended the call immediately, when it went back to the music it was most certainly much louder. I've tried it several times now and every time it makes it much louder than what it was before I make a call, I can now no longer turn the stereo full blast as it is simply too loud, just by turning it up to half way I would say it's the equivalent of what it was before when I had it turned up to the maximum.
I'm using Poweramp and I don't know if it's got anything to do with that, I will test it with the built in music player and see what it does. I originally downloaded Poweramp as I thought that the built in music player may be the problem.
i'll repet what you do and post some results... really want a louder volumen in headphones. I plugged my headphone in a Wildfire and it's incredible louder, no talking about an ipod! last week in a party i was ashamed when my friend put off his $50 cell phone and i plugged mine on stereo, so low volume....
wtf, that's true.. really don't understand what the phone turns on!! probably the same thing that volume boost turns on!!
Aha that actually works

Good news, it must be a software bug with the volume control.

let's hope someone let this bug permanently turned on, with no call trick...
Haha! Tried it myself, and it works! Awesome!
I found using shazzam or sound hound while music was playing caused it to go louder. Seems to be when the mic is initialised. Noticed this two days ago

Interesting find.
I've noticed a couple of ROMS which suggest better audio volume by 20%.
For example this one. (Speaker Boost +20%)
So somehow, somewhere the bug or issue has been fixed or improved.

Not really, i'm using that rom right now, and what it makes is improve SPEAKER volume, not from headphone. I made my tests in Android Revolution rom and can confirm that headphone is as quiet as stock rom, and it is improved by the "call trick"!
Thanks for sharing! I was experimenting a bit, and it seems like the simplest way to boost the volume is to make a call while music is already playing. The call MUST connect though, or the volume will revert to normal levels. Tested with Winamp.
Maybe have one of the dev's ask to look into this.
If this is different from the already increased speaker volume output, it probably is a bug that can be fixed / feature that can be 'un-featured'
works fine
I had similar experience with my laptop. When listening a mp3 file, the sound coming out from my laptop seems like no effects, standard sound without bass and treble effect. Have to play a movie file first together and stop the.movie make the song hear with the effect.
I believe this issue coming from my sound driver. Using another OS in same laptop. The sound play normally with no issue.
For our Android, it's about the sound driver too?
well well, i just noticed that in the Android Revolution 4 (leaked gingerbread based), the sound is improved by default, no needing the call workaround, looks like HTC fixed the strange bug for the next version...
i just wanted to share!
edit: if someone could try to confirm it, i'll appreciate! =o)

I had the same problem, go to the Market and download "Volume Ace".
MarkieSA, you're an accident hero.
I noticed sometimes my DHD volume suddenly were loud . If I restart the phone, it will go low . I couldn't find out how to make it loud again until reading your post. I'm using PowerAmp too . I think it plays a role in this case.
Thank you for this great finding.
Really useful little trick for 2.2 users, especially for peeps using stock ROM's without the 20% boost via custom kernels. I had tried some of the volume boost type apps before rooting but all they do is invert the phase of one of the stereo channels. All this does is give you a very tinny mono output which is no use to say the least.
Does anyone have the lowdown on whether the HD2 sold in Europe suffers from the dreaded "EU volume limiter" and if so, is it limited to 100dB or 85dB?
Been a few threads on this subject already, and interestingly some people say they don't experience the problem, others do.
Currently using stock ROM 3.14.206.1 and wondered if the ROM version might make a difference.
I find that the supplied earbuds are quite loud but poor quality. They seem to be more sensitive than most standard headsets. If you substitute a decent headset the volume is just adequate on loud pop tracks with all controls maxed-out. It's too quiet to be usable on classical though, or on any low-level recordings. The same headset gives plenty volume on my HTC Wizard, as do a set of TDK earbuds.
I solved Android flashed 2.3.3 and using the original player with an app called Music fx, wow, it's a totally different world!

Was thinking of testing it with Android on the SD card anyway as that would pin down whether it's a software or hardware/firmware issue. From what you say it sounds like it's in the OS, so in principle it should be fixable.
Tried using TCPMP instead of WMP and this seems to indicate the player software isn't the cause.
I'd rather keep WM6.5 as the main OS for the moment as I've quite a few good apps.
Anyway, I've asked HTC if they can confirm whether this example has volume limiting or not. If yes, I'll be poking-around for a crack.
Strangely, results seem to vary between one startup and another. Last night I had it playing acceptably at 3/4 volume but today it's reverted to needing everything at max.
Not sure if Volumex fixes that, you can try though...
Hi guys, I live in Australia and recently bought a Desire HD from Clove (about 3 months ago). I recently went to listen to music on it via headphones and realised only one ear piece was working, the other had a soft hiss. Tried some other known working headphones and had the same issue.
When I take the head phones out, the audio play back is very muffled and the same hissing noise can be heard, which continues for 3 secs or so when the ringtone or music is finished playing.
I contacted HTC support and was told I had to send to back to HTC support UK. I sent it to them and received it back really quickly. The phone isnt repaired at all, its exactly the same as when I sent it, and there's no repairer report or anything.
I have tried going back to a standard ROM, it doesnt matter which I use, the audio playback is always crap.
Can anyone suggest anything? I have tried applying various audio fixes, with no improvement.
This is my 4th HTC device and the first I have ever had issues with.
Please help!!!!
Did you use headphones when you were on stock ROM when you first got the dhd or had they been working up till recently. Just trying to understand if this was existing problem or a recent development?

Yeah, I used the headphones alot from day one. It started happening after about 2 months. Really annoying. I think I found another issue as well. If I plug in the headphones and use the FM radio, then select speaker, I just get hissing from the speaker and no fm radio (but yes it does work through the headphones when headphones are selected).
Well I just finished chatting to HTC UK support. I am going to attempt sending it back to them again.
The last attempt at a fix was to reflash the phone.... they obviously flashed it then put it back in the back to send, without testing it. Nice work Regenersis/HTC
Nice way to waste my money.
Today i finally got my update to gingerbread. when i installed it my speaker was fine but after something like an hour my sound went down while i was watching a youtube vid.

The same thing just happened to me on my HTC Incredible. Did you find a solution?
I remember to have some kind of problem with the 2.3 oem, but not sure if it was the sound. Any way, stock roms are so slow that theres one think you think of : root.
Here in canada, bell was the official seller for the desire z, and the main reason of why people return the device was the laggy stock rom with some adds from bell. Of course the z hinge too. But with a after market rom, in my opinion, this is one of the best device.
