I had a problem with my call audio being too low and my other device audio (games, sound effects, ringtones) being way too high. I used the config options found in this thread to fix it.
It works great, but the only problem is whenever I make or recieve a call, the options reset and I'm back to having out-of-whack audio again. I have to go through the diagnostic code again and then reboot the phone to get it back to how it was before the call.
Obviously not ideal. Anything I can do? If I leave it as it is, even having the device volume at 1 is very loud, and anything above 10 is extremely distorted.
Anyone experienced this?
strange
have the same issue when playing music on zune.. volume output stays low no matter how high it displays
Modify Preset 7 in Device Gain as Max: 400, Min: -1100

That actually does help the issue (it doesn't reset when i make a call anymore) but games and music are now too loud even at volume 1. That's how it was when I first got the phone, and the reason I messed around with the device gain in the first place

Love the phone but I think the audio volume output is totally junk.
Has anyone used *#0002*28346# - Audio control utility. or somethign similar to boost audio output on the audio jack?
Which audio output would this apply to? Or there just one? My Focus doesn't act like there's just one control.
Audio output level of the Zune player is definitely very low for me. Audio output level for the phone (ear) is just 'OK', but the speakerphone is very loud. Even if I turn it down to zero I can still hear the conversation. So strange.
... well I just went through that diagnosis screen and couldn't make heads or tails out of it. If anyone happens to figure that out, and determine if we can boost audio output from the headset jack that would be much appreciated!
I am specifically talking about the headset. I think the focus breaks it down like this: headset, speakerphone, earpiece.
Like you said, speakerphone is fine, if not too fine.
Earpiece is barely controllable while the headset (3.5 mm jack) is god awful.
There is currently a WP7 bug that causes game audio to impact audio on the phone. For example, if you are playing a game and you turn audio down to 15 (50%) and then exit the game, the highest volume level you can reach on the phone is 50%. Even if you then turn the volume up to 30 (100%), you are actually getting a level of 50%.
If you are encountering this problem, you'll notice that rebooting your phone will cause earbud/headphone volume to increase dramatically. An easier way to work around it is to go back into your game (any game with audio) and turn the volume back up all the way. If you then exit the game, audio levels should be good.
Microsoft is aware of this.

Interesting, thanks for the heads up!
I've tried *#0002*28346# but I don't know how to enhance the sound.
The sound is terrible in Focus.
Is there any way to install HTC Sound Enhancer? HTC HD7 it's much better volume in earphones.
I went to *#0002*28346#. Clicked read. Set system, class, and device gain to 10 (was 5 allthough some report it was 7). Volume was much higher via the headphone jack. I then read this thread regarding the game volume problem. I went into a game and put the volume all the way up. Went back to play audio via the zune hub. Volume was back to the low volume that it was originally at. I went back to *#0002*28346# and sure enough, The values reverted back to 5. So it appears the games are setting those values back to default every time you change the volume from within a game. I will have to test again, going into a game and not changing the volume to see if that too will reset it to default.
Do you guys mind complaining in this thread ..http://social.answers.microsoft.com...ad9-5e12-465d-a0fb-b9465179b436?prof=required
MS is still not taking any notice. It is kind of appalling to see such a nice phone as the Focus and Omnia suffer under such a silly bug.
Thanks Denis!!!!
It worked!
1 - PLUG YOUR EARPHONE
2 - ##634# TAPE CALL
3 - in diagnosis mode tape *#0002*28346#
4 - click GET on Device Gain
5 - in 'device gain' leave number 5, set 1500 (max) and -1100 (low)
6 - click set
7 - MAKE SURE AUDIENCE.CFG IS ON
reboot your phone (turn off, turn on)
I dont know what I am doing wrong but I find the sound level extremely poor for calls
I tried with a bluetooth headset, the outside speaker and the jack with my mp3 headset
it's pretty weird since when I play videos or music I am impressed by how loud I can push the Tab...
I am on AT&T with JMC (but was the same on JM6). And I set the sound at max
anybody has the same issue? Am I doing something wrong? Or is there any sound booster app for calls? (and is it necessary?)
Thanks for your help
My Tab isn't phone-enabled, but since you're new to Android, I thought I should point out that there are multiple volume settings, and in-call volume is one of them. Menu Key -> Settings -> Sound Settings -> Volume should give you all the sliders (Ringtone, Media, Alarm, System, Notification...). There are apps/widgets too that let you get to/change these settings without having to go into the settings menu every time (audio manager has been a decent widget for me). Until you're actually in the call the hardware rocker is usually doing the ringtone or media volume.
When I use mine with Skype 60% is usually blaringly loud for me, and I don't even have the system or media volume maxed out.
Sorry if it's something you know you've done, but thought it might help. If not, maybe someone else has had the same issue and solved it.

yes this I had figured out and set at the maximum
Everything non call related is really strong... It's conversation from normal calls that is ridiculously low
Am I the only one ?? What's wrong with my tab ?
Anyone with an opinion about this ?
Voice-enabled on AT&T with JM6. Have good results with the built-in speakers and cheap Nokia BH-214 stereo Bluetooth earbuds. I ordered the OEM earbuds, but I do understand that the 3.5mm jack port in finicky. Is your Bluetooth 2.1 or newer? Do you have many open applications when trying to place or receive calls? I've notice the sound stutter a bit on the speakers when I've got several apps open.
Here's something I noticed, when in call using my BT Headset, the volume slider sometimes says its on max but the output isnt. Try to lower or increase your volume. Once you hear the max level beep, it gets louder.
Im on a SingTel Tab by the way.

Thank you, will try right away
Edit: yeah I can definitely reduce the volume but my max was my actual max. As anybody tried to compare the volume on the speaker when playing music whith the volume on the speaker when on a call... It's like 5 to 10 times higher volume on a call !! And then same issue on a headset

As mentioned I tried it with everything I could... The default external speaker, a simple stereo headset (Not bluetooth), a bluetooth headset. They all give the same. Low volume
If you don't like volume in speaker, headset, bluetooth....You can change settings in "hidden" Audio menu. There you can change volume of individual ouput, but be careful!!!!!
Before change anything, make sure you can put it back the same number if you are not satisfied or have problem ..so wright it somewhere anything you wish to change.
Good Luck with experiment. If I remember correctly(from my old Samsung i780-Windows phone) "TX" settings is for output and "RX" for imput, but I can be wrong, so be careful.

what I do is, when in a call, I lower the volume by about 2, then increase it until i hear the max volume beep. The moment i hear it, the volume on my headset usually jumps up.
I have the same problem with the speaker volume. At maximum you cannot hear it. The bluetooth seems to work OK. IIRC JK5 software seemed to work correctly.

So I guess for you too, music or movies play with a high volume on the speakers whereas for calls it's rather low volume ?
Yes bluetooth or headset I can hear but still quite low volume compared with music...

My problem is specifically for calls. Anything else is fine and working well. That's the weird issue... I dont want to boost the volume for anything else!
That's pretty weird... I have been playing with the tab and I found out that for calls, the highest level I can have (by hear) is two notches below the highest. That's by far the loudest I get (If I push higher the sound decreases)
Am I the only one ? It really pisses me off.... I don't know how it can be like that (I am on JMC ROM after flashing a JM6 ROM over the JK5 from Russia (I am on an AT&T Tab flashed to get phone working)
Someone else get the same experience ?
I can confirm that the max 'in call' volume is two notch below the max !!! And I have the same tab/setting of the OP.
Aren't there some codes you can enter to adjust the volume level on calls and music, etc.?? like the Galaxy S?

Thanks ! Ina sense I am a littel bit relieved to see I am not the only one !
Such a stupid bug. Come on Samsung...
FYI it is fixed with the firmware JME
Sound level is much more acceptable and the highest level is not anymore two notched below the max
Is anyone else finding the in call volume low in win phone 7. I've been using since Friday, and really enjoying the experience, but today was my first day at work and I have to make and take a lot of calls.
Using registry I found the in call max vol setting, and set to 20. Revolted and then made a call and moved unto 20 (previous max was 10) but it seemed to make very little difference.
Any advice would be appreciated, as I am loving the build but may have to flash back to droid, unless I can solve this
It does seem a little quiet, but not too bad. I'm having issues where all sound volumes are not consistent. It's a little annoying because some things are really quiet, but then other sounds are extremely loud even with volume set to '1'.

I too find the call volume a bit low. Its not too low but could be a little louder. I bet there is a registry setting for it as i read somewhere that you could fix the "high volume on volume set at 1" problem with a reg setting.
Yeah the registry keys are under HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> [ControlPanel] -> [Volume]
I was able to modify the high volume from here
Please help. I am running XBROM and everything is perfect except for low in call volume. I have looked for a tweak but am not sure how to fix this. I am new to all this. I KNOW IT IS NOT MAX IN CALL UI, also the media app does not fix this, it states that in the description of the up. So please help
If it's not this one :
•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)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then what could it be ?
UI only changes the amount of numbers in increases. So instead of max loudness being 10 it increases it to 15 but the 15 is the same loudness as 10.

You can use sound enhancer and media volume settings, avail from the htc hub, and market apps
Hmm i got the same problemen changed that key but didnt work.
Yea, it is way too low. Sometimes have to put calls on speakerphone to hear. Tried the fix given, but like others, it didn't make it any louder.
Media volume app does not increase in call volume either. Is there a registry tweak or not?
Agree definately too low ...
Same problem here...
I wish I knew how to fix this, I would. Maybe some of the roms are louder? I am running XB and moonlight wasn't any better. I might switch to android for this and tethering.
Hi,
My bluetooth headphone problem.
I am using boat rockerz 235 v2.
It runs fine and loud with all audio except during calls.
i did search a lot of places, no luck.
media volumes are good, video playback, mp3 players, online music apps, you tube, whatsapp calls all are ok, get loud output at max volume,
when i receive or make call through service provider ( normal incoming and out going) volume suddenly is almost 50% reduced even all sliders in my phone are @ maximum and bluetooth device volume is also maximum.
i tried to change some settings. in developer options like disabling absolute volume but no luck.
hope will get some help. XDA is my last place . If i cant get it done here, there is no place left..
