What do you want to improve? With my Shure earbuds it blast everything out of my head. (System-) Volume has to be set to minimum for me!!!

it seems like some roms have had the audio levels curtailed, with the correct tweaks you can got very loud volume.

I agree, I had an audio technik active noise canceling earbud phone, it's so loud & clear that I only need to set the media player volume at 20%!

Htc hd2 sound quality

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!!!!!

DHD incall volume

Hi, I tried to search for it, but found nothing.
My Fathers DHD has an in-call volume that is so low that you just can't hear anything if you are in an environment which is even a little noisy...
I don't have the same problem on my own Desire Z..
I'm wondering if it's a DHD problem, or just a faulty front speaker in my fathers device?
thanks

Mine in-call volume is pretty low too, especially low if you compare it to my old Nokia N95.

so.... anyway to fix it? apps?

You must try X10

Good one !!! X10 is really the worst out there , had it for about two weeks. Desire HD is ok on volume, i use about 60 % of volume power and the sound is loud and clear enough.

Low in call volume
I have agree the in call volume is pretty bad for a phone of this specification. I've tried different ROMs and Radio but its just plain bad.
Really need a DSP manager style hack to make this better.
For now try repositioning the phone on your ear. I hold it so the mic is a few inches away from my mouth and that angle helps with the in call volume. Not a natural position though!

There is a very crude fix for the low volume problem (ignore the "volume is fine" bull****, the volume is crap). Use speakerphone. Seriously. But use speakerphone like an ordinary phone. Turn it on and hold the phone in the normal way for a voice call. It really is much louder. Of course others will hear the conversation - but at least you will hear it pretty clearly. Ridiculous solution, I know, but it's a ridiculous problem.

I've been doing just that along with the DSP manager fix so thanks for not making me look mad
My colleage has the same phone and says in call volume is ok - duh hello!

for starters no1's input on here is "bull****" just because you dont like the call volume dosent mean others find it as problematic as you..... no need to call other peoples views bull****, just because they dont agree with you.

Running for about 2 hours now, no probs, crackly line is bearable, at least i can hear people now.

[Q] How to make my volume on my phone louder?

I've just installed the MCCM HD V4.0 [Desire HD] ROM to my phone and it works great. The downfall I have is the volume is not loud at all. When a call comes in or I listen to my music on it, I can barely hear it. How can I fix that problem? Thanks in Advance!

Louder Volume Hack v3.6
Check out the link above it should fix your problem

weird as this sounds .. try turning OFF the "beeps" when you dial the phone.
Settings / sound / Un-Check Audible Tones
And Make a Test call .. Some Roms this makes the Volume Louder!

I installed the app to my phone and nothing happen. I tried all of them and the volume still sounds the same. I don't know if I'm doing it right or what, but if you can guide me on how to set it up right.

[Q] How to enhance the mic volume "on headphone"

When I'm using Earpods(from Apple) or headphone(from HTC Desire HD) to make a phone call, I encounter a big problem of very low mic volume. Everyone I talk to says that they almost cannot hear my voice...
I've tried many mods here like AwesomeBEATS, BEATS+XLOUDER and faux's kernel sound tweak.
But none of these tweaks the mic volume on headphone.
Is anyone have same problem?
Is it possible to be fixed?
Sorry for my poor English...
