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)
Any else having this issue?
While listening to music through MILK, with the supplied earbuds, the volume will randomly decrease to zero or go full blast. In a two hour period it will happen a few times for about a minute and then its good.
I tried unplugging the earbuds when it happens and it still occurs. I have also removed the case.
My 6p has developed a high pitched tone when plugged into the charger. The tone is so high in frequency that it is almost above human ear +22,000 Hz, young folks hear it louder than this old guy. This happens every time when plugged into various charging devices; stock, mobile, and other chargers including computer tether. It's not coming from the charger.
The tone lasts for exactly thirty seconds out of both speakers, then there is pop and the tone mutes.
I can plug the charger in wait 10 seconds then remove the power from the USB-c plug, and the tone will continue without external power for 20 more seconds. Always ending after 30 Seconds.
Adjusting volume level changes the audible tone level up and down. At 3/4 volume or lower I can't hear the tone anymore. I run volume at max most of the time since the speaker level has always seamed low to me ever since I bought the device.
When hooked to my mobile in-car blue tooth the tone will seize car stereo audio for the 30 seconds until the tone quits. The tone is outside the the bluetooth/radio high passband, so I only hear the tone through the speakers on the phone.
This problem started just after 7.0.1 dropped and also just after my 12 month warranty
I have search the interwebs, but can't find others with the same problem. Anyone else?
Thanks,
So I have this annoying as hell bug on my TMobile V20, rooted running NATF s Rom.
Most of the time when I have music, YouTube, Pandora, sometimes calls going through the speaker, the volume level dips about 50 PCT but it still shows max.
Only way to get it back to normal is stop the music for about 2 or 3 secs and resume, and usually just does it again.
Any ideas? It's driving me crazy
Hello everyone,
Overall I am really happy with my OnePlus 6T but one thing is driving me crazy.
I am using Bluetooth earbuds quite a lot ( Samsung Galaxy Buds and RHA 750i wireless). Every time I disconnect the headphones from the phone my media volume jumps to 100 percent by its own even tho it was set to 40 percent before connecting the Headphones.
I tried already disabling Bluetooth absolute Volume controls (In developer settings) but the behavior didn't change. So the out coming situation is always that I use my headphones for music, I disconnect them and the next time I want to view content with Sound I get almost a heart attack as the volume for speaker is set to 100 percent.
Any advice?
Thank you

Have you tried setting your not connected media volume using the volume keys before connecting? Theoretically when you disconnect it should drop to whatever the volume was before connecting.

Hello there, yes I do that. To describe it better:
1. Media volume is at 40 percent
2. I connect Bluetooth headset
3. I set volume to 90 percent
4. I disconnect Bluetooth headset
5. Media volume jumps to 40 percent and then right after it to 100 percent by its own.
Really weird situation overall.
