Has anyone increased output sound volume on the phone yet? *#0002*28346# - Audio con

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)

[Q] Diagnostic settings reset after phone call

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

[Q?]Maximum sound level modding

hello.
i'm pretty sure i saw somewhere a way of changing some system files in a rom to have a higher/lower volume sound (i'm talking about the real maximum level, not the volume like using volume buttons). i couldn't find anything about it. can anyone guide me? thatnks.
(what i want to do is to increase the maximum sound level)

Too loud minimum volume in headphones.

Hello.
I have a problem with oneplus two.
The minimum level of volume in the headphones is too loud (very).
I have root + xposeed not afraid to change system files (if they are safe), but I would not want to play in changing kernels, etc.
Any suggestions?

Do you have the audio effects turned on? If so, try turning them off, you'll see that the volume will immediately drop significantly.

when I turned on the audio effects for music it is VERY too loud, when it is turned off is just too loud

Anyone else have any idea?

Gravity Box [LP] from xposed
Media Tweaks > More music volume steps
You can add up to a total of 50 steps, allowing for lower volumes.

I use already 50 steps but it does not change the minimum and maximum values only those in between.
So it is still too loud

This is not true...
The minimum volumes are:
Stock - %6.6 (repeating) of the Max
50 steps - %2 of the Max
Though if it is still too loud or not for you is a different story.

I have no reason to disbelieve you
But the problem still is.

No worries... If the above isn't satisfactory, this option should solve your issue, but.... will have to change kernels.
If you are running OOS 2.2.0:
Flash boeffla kernel beta 19:
Here
Install the boeffla config app:
Here
Open boeffla config app
Grant root access
Goto Boeffla-sound tab
Turn on switch
Slide the volume sliders until acceptable
————————————————————————————————
Other than that...
I read of an app that is in the app store that may also be able to solve your issue called Fine Volume Control v2. It's not free and I can't confirm that it will do what you need.

Max volume isn't max.

Hey guys. First of all, thanks in advance for your help. I appreciate the tiniest bit. With that, onto my problem;
I have been having this issue for a while with different phones but it has been more clear, distinguishable with my current phone OP5 running OOS 5.0.2.
The issue is, when I plug in headphones with rather higher empedance such as 40~ohms, the max volume setting doesn't output the maximum level. Per se, feeds about 90dB to my ear for comparison. But every now and then, under different circumstances, phone will either allow me to increase the volume a couple of ticks more or it will be automatically set to max but either way, with much higher volume output. In the neighbourhoods of 105-110dB.
Now, that 105-110dB range brings my headphones alive. Perfect volume, great tonality, actual bass and whatnot. Yet only maybe %5 of the time I actually get to listen to my music with that range.
What I wonder is what can I do to set the volume always on high since phone shows it is capable of such output. Might there be anything that limits the power output headphone jack provides, a switch, anything? Again, thanks for all the help in advance.
