Hi!
I got a Touch dual a few weeks back, and have been trying out different sound recording software. The sound seem to come out alright when the source is at very low levels, but the moment you speak a little too loud - or record a guitar for instances, the sound peaks, and then distorts making it unlistenable. Does anyone know if there excists a patch of some sorts that let's you control the input volume so you avoid this kind of horrible distortion?
This is pretty important to me as im a musician and need to record small demo snippets. This problem seem to be in every recording software i've tried - even the built in one. The phone is brand new and i actually had it for a repair for another problem, and the problem residues.
By the way - this Wifi business, is it ever gonna work on the NIke? is it even physically possible?
Thanks alot,
Psych
im in the same boat, as a guitarist.
i asked this question long ago and never got a definitive answer so i came to the conclusion it wasnt possible with the hardware.

if you can find anything in there that is helpful please let me know.
wifi is possible. when? i dont know. how long is a piece of string?
sorry if this is already on forum..
so.. when i was recording in the club with n95, e71.. sound was ok.. but with HTC HD2, sound is terrible!!!!!
is there some tip? tweak to reduce microphone sensitivity, etc??
thank you very much.
bump pls....
thnx
Another bump from me for this
Older PPC devices used to have a Control Panel setting for microphone AGC or manual level settings but I can't find anything in the registry that looks likely.
I've tried using the HD2 to record video at both a rock concert (very loud) and a folk concert (not very loud!) and both had good video but highly distorted sound levels.
Apart from sticking some blutack over the microphone, are there any other suggestions?

Same problem here.
With the n95 i had no problem geting good sound on my video when recording at a party with loud music. But with all my HTC phones i get crapy sound.
Is there any solution to this, exept asking the dj to turn the music down?
I know that this thread is old, but... has anyone found any solution on this?
I was in a Guns'n'Roses European Tour last night in Barcelona, and today i've been watching the videos. All videos have the sound distorted and useless, i'm very dissapointed on it.
I know that Samsung Galaxy S has the same problem , but seems that audiobooster solves it
showthread.php?t=758326
Is there any similar on the HD2?
not only nokia n95 but iphone users enjoy very good sound while recording
on our HTC HD2 it's seems like the mic gain to much volume and alot of bass enter the mic
which cause bad sound like the speaker going to ripoff from the device
any suggestion?
I know on some other Android phone's (e.g. G1 http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f4/volume-increase-hack-found-18107/), a software modification has allowed for much higher volume.
Not sure if actually increases the speaker volume as well, or just through headphones?
+1 for the speaker!
Agree! The speaker is WAY too low!!!
/CK
+1 here too
It would be nice, the speaker is crazy quiet.
i wonder wot the reason was for them to keep it at that level of sound and is way to queit
Or it possible use the front speaker for avi/video/streaming?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
It seems everyone has the low volume speakers.
I noticed that Angry Birds seems to be a little bit louder than other things.
Anyway, I highly urge everyone that thinks this is a problem to give this feedback to the HTC customer support. Obviously this is the only way to get an official fix for this quicker, if at all.
Wonder if the speaker can handle a increase in max volume.
Anyway, aren't there hidden service menus on the Desire HD that can be triggered with a phone code? In the service menus of a phone there are always some nice parameters to tweak.
I tried some general codes, but none of them seems to work (except the *#*#INFO#*#* of course, but that's a general hidden android menu... even works on the emulator)
until we get access to the rom via Bootloader, there is no general tweak we can do.
However, just for music, try PowerAmp from the market. It has a great pre-amp setting to boost the volume (be careful not to blow your speakers though)
We want increasement in the general speaker volume... Not just music

You can do that, but you will need a script to do that at every launch, since /system write is not permanent.
Furthermore, after each time you adb push the files, you need to restart mediaserver in order pull in the new settings.
Last but not least, you will need to modify the DHD audiopara, since the G2 might not work well.
To make the long story short... SPAM HTC's EMAIL!!
WE DIDNT BUY THA F*CKING PHONE FOR THIS ISSUES ...
And they thought they could fool us ... with their Dolby and SRS enhancements!
Disguzting!!
worse comes to worse ill rip this open and find a replacement speaker, i cant even hear it ring in my pocket and im missing calls

I experienced the same, missing calls because the damn volume is just too low!
Also, when you use the speakers when having a phone call, you can't even hear the person unless you're in an absolutely quiet room... The same goes for music, youtube, navigation..... Anything!!!??!?

I returned mine because of the low speaker volume. I was missing 99% of calls because I couldn't hear the phone ringing. In my business I just can't afford to miss calls. As I sold my normal desire to get this phone I had to buy an Orange San Francisco to use till something else comes along.
I was playing with a friend's Nokia N8 & have to say the speaker quality & loundness is outstanding on it. Also used as a phone its much better than the DHD. Shame the OS is a bit dodgy.
speaker
I am not sure if you are speaking about speakers of DHD in general or just about external. Well, Ive sent back my DHD to Vodafone because call speaker was so useless that I could not even hear other person when I had TV on. Hopefully it was just one bad piece but its apparent that HTC fcked up DHD with poor quality speakers in general. I am waiting for my phone replacement and even when I know that it would be hard to say DHD goodbye I am afraid Ill have to if speaker quality will be that bad again

Why don't we use this... compile libaudioflinger and DSP Manager, in which we can set presets (you can +10 every channel of sound, so it comes out 10x louder).
Good luck compiling... I couldn't find an example
http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base <-- libaudioflinger is in /libs/ (yes it's default in Cyanogenmod)
http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_DSPManager DSP Manager android application, yes everyone should be able to compile this one
Hi just hoping someone has a solution for this. Notice that if I move with the device I get a terrible hiss or crackle in the audio. This is also noticeable if there is slight wind. Any way to reduce Mic gain or other ways to improve audio in videos. Super disappointed.
Thanks!

I wonder if it is the same problem I'm having, I just bought the phone and don't even have the right size sim yet to test audio in calls but when I recorded a video with the camera it has horrible static throughout. Even recording a silent room.
The only other test I could do of the mic was the voice recorder which worked fine.
I really need to know what is up before I pay to sim unlock it and swap my sim for the right size.
HI there guys.
Brand new to this forum.
I've searched for days and I'm unable to find a solution.
I'm experiencing a crackling or a distortion on phone calls at certain volumes. I noticed it with certain pitches in peoples voices it would cause a vibration in the ear speaker and some distortion in the sound. Kind of like the speaker is being over driven or has too much power going to it. It usually goes away if I turn the volume almost all the way down, but this is obviously not a practical option since I'm not always making phone calls in a dead silent room. The speaker phone works fine. This only happens when I'm using the earpiece. Is this normal? Is it related to the camera autofocus sensor rattle? Are the sound vibrations from a person's voice enough to set off the rattle? It's really annoying as I tend to make phone calls a lot and I don't like using speaker phone or a headset. Does anyone else have this problem?
From what I can tell, it happened and was normal in the S4. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280930).
Please help. Im deciding if i need to return it.

It's too bad that you didn't describe it in more detail.. i.e. give us steps to replicate it. A recording of the distortion would have been helpful too. I haven't noticed what you describe but it sounds like the gain or auto gain is too high and your earpiece speaker is being overdriven.
There is a gain setting in the service mode menu but first you need to distinguish an app issue or possibly damaged speaker before messing around in the hidden settings. See if you can find an audio app that will give you a wider adjustment range for your system volume and gain.,

Thank you for the reply.
If you go into the service menu, the go into the low frequency test. At 100hz and 200 hz there is a little bit of buzz in the headset reciever unless you really push it against your face (which i assume kind of tightens the spaces in the plastic and prevents whatever vibration in the speaker is occuring).
Hmm.. the vibration is akin to as if you were speaking into some cellophane wrap; like some film (maybe for waterproofing) is covering the speaker.
Oh. It's also worth noting that I cannot replicate the issue on Skype or Viber. Those sound crystal clear.
Bump. Anyone?
