I just bought some M9Ps with a built in mic, and they don't even work with this phone. You have to hold the mic button to get clear sound, and when trying to make a call it automatically ends unless you hold the mic button the whole way. Then the person can't even hear you..
Is there a fix to this? I REALLY don't like the default headphones.
There is no fix. You could have known about this issue if you read the accessoires board, because the problem has been documented there.
I bought the M9P's too by the way. I returned them for the regular M9's.
well so what does that mean?
that it wont work?
well i flashed back to di18 and works perfectly wit no issues mic works n so do the headphones onthe headset
now when im in dk28 headphones work but not the mic :/
something ****ed up in the kernel?
Well look on the bright side. You can speak into the phone's mouthpiece even though your earphone is plugged in. =D
I am having the same problem, when you say flashed back to di18 what do you mean? Is that a certain custom rom? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
+1 on this, skullcandy holua's does the same thing, works great on my mw600 but not when plugged directly into the phone. What are you flashing back to fix?
daang i have the same problem with my skullcandy buds Is it because I am on cm 6 + 2.2?
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.
Hi
Just flashed coldfusionx 4.0.4 latest version.
Everything is fine except really bad sound through the headset when playing any audio!
Sounds like extremely high virtual surround sound or listening far away in a well!
I tried adjusting dsp manager, settings etc.
Still the same. This makes everything unlistenable!
How do I fix this
Update:
If I push the headphone jack all the way in, the sound is weird
however if I hold it halfway through the sound is coming perfectly though only through one of the phones.
Anyone?

Not the ROM problem. Probably a loose connection at the phone or the earphones end
Definitely something to do with the rom.
Tried with 2 different headsets....also flashed CM7 instead and the headset sound is fine!
Flashed again with coldfusionx cm9 and same problem again.
I found on my Blade that only one type of earphone connector will work fine, if the connector is plugged in fully.
There are two types of earphone connectors in case there is a mic present:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_connector_(audio)#Mobile_phones
For my blade only "Apple Style" worked fine, else sound quality is very bad. Also all earphones withour mic work fine.
Maybe there is also some rom rependency, I dont know, i use SS.

Try
Making sure the headphones are going all the way in.
Different headphones
Try a different app
Check calling via headphones
Clean the port ( compressed air, something not too abrasive)
Check audio output on whatever program you're using ie: Dolby, viper etc
Reboot
Re install ROM (clean) don't restore any settings to the fresh install.
Check firmware
Change ROM
If you've done all this, provide us with more information, let us know specifically what set up you have.
Root status
ROM
Firmware
Did you install using a clean install
App to play music with
What you've tried.
My moneys on the headphones and or the port being dirty / blocked.
Hope this helps.
Having the same problem with mine. I am using Xiaomi piston 2 headphones and sound plays out of the speaker and not the headphones.

Sounds like they're not registering, test with some others.
I'm having problems with my jack's microphone. The volume is too low.

Not having a problem with any of my other headphones but I like that particular pair a lot. Just hurt my heart that two of my favorite things are not compatible.

Problem solved..your device does not like those headphones.. Could be the jack of your headphones or the amount of sections on the 3.5mm jack. Either way it looks like its not going to play.
I have same issue with my Piston2 as well. I noticed if you either put it in VERY slowly, and or a button when pressing in. The audio will work (but the buttons on the Piston2 still malfunction)

Try using the headphones with another phone or computer? Just to make sure nothing is wrong with the cans themselves.
Hey guys,
Recently my in call volume has been insanely low. Like I can barely make out what I'm hearing low. But when I put the call on speaker it works fine, and regular audio works fine so I assume it's not a speaker issue. Anybody know how to solve this issue?

I have no case and it's definitely not my finger. I think it's a software bug of some sort. People can hear me fine, I just can't hear them.
Root, flash elementalx kernel, install ex manager, go to sound, and bingo!!
