Hi Fellas,wonder if you could help me out.
Done a search,but to no avail on this one.
My XDA Orbit loudspeaker has gone distorted on speech lately.Music is fine but speech such as MS Voice command and TomTom sound distorted at high volumes.Seems like the volume is louder than before,like the gain has been turned up or summat.
Anyone know where loudspeaker volume level in the registry is?
Maybe turn that down a couple of clicks may help.Anything so I ain`t gotta change the speaker!
Thanks in advance.
Anyone know where loudspeaker settings are in the registry?
Anyone? ???
Maybe this will help. Not investigated it myself, but maybe worth a read..

That`s very helpful.
Cheers buddy!
How did you get on? I have the same problem, which settings did you use if you got a good result.
Still playing with it at the minute.Definately alters things using the values from the Wizard registry.
I`ll post my final settings when I crack it.
Hey guys,
have searched the forum, seems like there's only way to make a vibrate signal when you dial from dialpad, but no solution for different "tone" for the dialpad number 0-9.. I think it's more useful then just giving you a vibrate signal which still can't tell which number you have pressed while driving. Anyone here got any glue?
Sure, this should work, i have tried it on one key and it works fine:
It involves modifying registry keys so beware.
Navigate to HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\
In here there are a bunch of keys named Dtmf which represent all the keypad keys [0-9, #, *]
Simply select the key you want to change remove any values that exist called sound (generally there will be a dword value if you have default tones on your keypad or a string value if you have vibrate), then create a String value named sound and set the data value to the location of your sound file, eg. \storage card\my documents\ding.wav or whatever.
Save and exit, test it, then go back and do the same for all your keys, sorted.
As with all things registry related be careful, i take no responsibility if you brick your phone
Cheers,
Cool... many thanks.. will definitly try and post the result here!

Hey guys,
My first tweak post, so be gentle!
So, I always like to take the source audio file and bump it up to maximum dB levels while ensuring sound integrity. This way, the ringtone is nice and loud if I set the phone's volume to max. (Keep in mind, you can always make a ringer quieter, but can't make it louder than maximum allowable by the phone.)
I was in the process of making custom ringtones for my TP2 and testing out their volume through the settings/audio/preview panel. Here, the ringtone sounded nice and loud, but to my dismay, when I got a phone call, the ringer was easily 2/3 the volume of when I previewed it even though it was set to max volume!
So, after researching online and doing a few different combinations under HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories, I found that the following registry revisions ensured that I get the same maximum audio output when a ringtone actually goes off as when I preview it:
***CAB INSTALL:***
Just download the attached cab below and install!
(Courtesy of XDA Senior Member cerealfreak, thanks bud!)
***MANUAL INSTALL: Make sure the following keys ONLY have the values listed.***
1) HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Attenuation:
Make sure you ONLY have the following entries:
Value 0: DWORD, Value data: 0
Value 1: DWORD, Value data: 1
Value 2: DWORD, Value data: 1
Value 3: DWORD, Value data: 1
Value 4: DWORD, Value data: 1
Value 5: DWORD, Value data: 1
2) HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring:
Value AttenuationCategory: DWORD, Value data: 4
Value DefaultSound: Leave alone, default
Value Directory: Leave alone, default
Value InitVol: DWORD, Value data: 5
Value Speaker: DWORD, Value data: 1 (Thanks leepriestenator!)
3) Soft reset
4) Test with an incoming call... your max volume should be much louder than before!
***AUTO REG INSTALL:***
1) Download "Ringer fix.zip"
2) Extract "Ringer fix.reg" & copy it to your Storage Card
3) Run Registry Editor
4) Select left most button (single folder w/ lightning bolt), then choose "Import..."
5) Find the "Ringer fix.reg" file that you stored and select "Done".
6) When it asks you if you want to import, say "yes/OK."
7) Soft reset and you're good to go!
(WARNING: As with any other ringtone, if this makes your ringer sound too loud & with static, then your source ringtone is too loud and must be adjusted down as this could blow out your speaker after extended use!)
Had the same issue with a quiet ringer and even system volumes (basically, anything that comes out of the speaker as a notification or ring), and this didn't solve it..... Really hoped this would, as I won't use AudioPara 3 or 4 until it is in a CAB file I can uninstall completely - lots of issues with people saying there are too many other registry changes going on that affect mic volume as well when using AudioPara!
I set all my settings to the ones listed, soft reset, and saw that all the settings were still saved, none reverted back as is the case with the HD Tweak change..... really, what is the point in changing the volume in a tweak like that if it doesn't save when the phone is reset? Did I really buy a phone that requires me to use HD Tweak every time I reset it to make sure the volume is loud enough to hear?

Sounds like we're describing two different issues. My issue was... when I previewed the ringtone at MAX volume under settings, it would be much louder than what the phone actually rang when a call came in. The registry settings above fixed this for me.
We're both saying the same thing - both had a quiet ringer as an actual notification regardless. I tried the AudioPara3 replacement file after backing it up and now my loudspeaker is noticeably louder. But thanks anyways, maybe this will work for others!
did not work for me either. when i preview the ring tone its loud but when i get a call its not as loud????????????

Did you make sure that Value AttenuationCategory is a DWORD & not STRING? For some reason, it's defaulted as a STRING.
Also, if you have any Speaker value under HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring:, make sure you delete that. HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring should ONLY have 4 values in it.
Fixed it. Thank you!
Will this only affect low ringer volume?
I am looking for a way to turn up the headphone volume, as it is a lot quieter with NRGRom then with the stock HTC ROM

well i gotta say the first time i did it i did not change "attenuationCategory" to DWORD but when i did that it did seem to make a difference. So thanks
Don't delete the speaker value!
This works just as confirmed by everybody else, but (you knew there was a but ) if you delete the Speaker DWORD value and happen to be using a BT headset, then it takes about 3-5 rings before you can hear the ringtone play on your speaker. In fact the ringtone starts playing but you can't hear it until after about 3-5 rings. I have MS Voice Command installed so maybe that could be the added complication. Try it out. If you loose your first 3-5 rings when ur BT headset is connected to your phone, then just restore the speaker value. Leaving it there doesn't have any impact on the volume.
TNX to the original poster.
Cheers
Also, can someone please post what the original SPEAKER value is? I just know that it is a DWORD but don't recall the value after I deleted it. For now I have set the value to "1" and it seems to be working, but i'd still like to know what the original value is.

I usually sync my phone to the car's hands free bluetooth, so I don't experience this problem. I will update my original post with your feedback, thanks!
I've been having wierd problems after trying out some of these changes. Most of the times there doesn't seem to be a problem but on occasion my ringer just doesn't... well... RING!
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Also take a look at this. The Attenuation is set to "2" instead of "4" like we have done bro. Any thoughts on this?

I have to say... I haven't had any non-ring issues. And, I use my phone quite a bit for business/conference calls, so if I had a bunch of missed calls, there would be a lot of upset people...
Might be something else you installed?
Thanks for posting this. It worked for me. I tested it for 2 days and I had no missed calls.
Omg ! It worked !
Wow .. Thanks !!!
Used your Suggestion ...
1) HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Attenuation:
Make sure you ONLY have the following entries:
Value 0: DWORD, Value data: 0
Value 1: DWORD, Value data: 1
Value 2: DWORD, Value data: 1
Value 3: DWORD, Value data: 1
Value 4: DWORD, Value data: 1
Value 5: DWORD, Value data: 1
2) HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring:
Value AttenuationCategory: DWORD, Value data: 4
Value DefaultSound: Leave alone, default
Value Directory: Leave alone, default
Value InitVol: DWORD, Value data: 5
Value Speaker: DWORD, Value data: 1 (Thanks leepriestenator!)
3) Soft reset
4) Test with an incoming call... your max volume should be much louder than before!
And Its WAY TO LOUD NOW !!! I Love IT !
It Also fixed Ms Voice Command Level !
I Now Can Hear Whos Calling Also !
Also Used : AudioPara3_TMO.cab
However did not fix the ring volume - but fixed the volume of everything else!
So between the two fixes .. my god .. is it loud now! lol
( Now if I could Only Get The Ear Volume Like the ring volume I Would Be Freaking Happy! )
Thanks !

Yep, you can always make the ringer lower, but can't make it louder than max.

Must have something to do with MSVC. NRGz ROM gives me everything else I need, so I dont realy have anything else installed.
I disabled the Incoming Call Announcement but it still persisted. I hard reset a few days back so everything is back to normal. I'm gonna give this a shot more carefully this time.
@WarLock... The AudioPara CAB... is it recommended for non TMO Rhodiums (say the Unbranded one)?

I am not sure .. I have a t-mobile tp2 worked great for all system sounds.
But didnt help the ringer problem The other fix helped that.
Now I need to fix the ear volume :/ Tried many things nothing has helped!
I've just bought a Volvo XC60 and am having a Bluetooth issue; I wonder if anyone recognises the symptoms and might be able to shed any light for me?
The phone is recognised correctly, connects correctly, uploads phone book and call list information etc correctly. I am able to select and dial a number correctly. But that's all. The number dials, the phone connects, the mobile is silent as it should be, but there is no sound from the audio system either. Total silence. That's the first problem. The second problem is that I can not end the call. I have to do that manually on the phone itself. If I try to make another call, the first is still active and so I end up with one on hold. So it seems that Bluetooth is working fine up to the point of connecting a call, at which time it simply stops and goes back to standby.
Can anyone possibly help?
I have Volvo -
do the following reg edits:
Bluetooth Fix:
1.Navigate to HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\
Click "Values" soft-key
Change "00001001" value to 1 (decimal) (recovery note: default is 2)
Change "00001005" value to 40 (decimal) (recovery note: default is 16)
Reboot device.
2. Modify the HandsFree plug-in:
HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\HandsFree
i. Change SupportedFeatures to 1085 (default is 1135)
ii. Add value HFBDA binary, set to same value as LastConnectedBda
iii. Add value HFDeviceType decimal 2
3. Modify the WIDCOMM bluetooth general settings:
HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\BtConfig\General
i. Change bdaddr to (no value)
ii. Change DisableReopenAudio to 0 (default is 1)
4. Reboot device
