Hello all - just got my MDA III yesterday. Overall very pleased. Having one issue with crackle from the speaker when a call comes in and 'announce caller' option is enabled with Microsoft Voice Command 1.5
Without this checked, the phone rings as normal, but with the option on there is definiate crackle that I don't hear when using voice command at any other time. Has anyone else had this issue or know of a fix?
Regards,
Darren
same issue, don't worry... probably a bug in Voice Command. Gives same problem on all ROMS and models
This seems to be an existing problem with BA speaker. If there are two or more sound sources going off at the same time, the speaker crackles. If you only let only one sound source going off at a time, the speaker won't crackle.
Um wrong! Its the audio priority. So with a registry editor do this for the fix. Change this HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\Priority256
to 75 and soft reboot. No more problems.

Your tweak didnt solve my problem, In my signature you'd see the rom version on my BA. I even tried many more settings, none worked.
I want to add something by default I don't have the function Priority.
Ram, I had a ba device and did the same thing and it worked just fine. I unloaded the ba device becasue its a piece of shi. Did you use resco to modify the entry key and then reboot? Tell me what you did. If you want pm me and I will walk you though the proceedure. Otherwise if you have done that its a hardware issue. Buy another device or send it in for repair.
Mike
No, fix doesn't work for me either

Hi, I created a Dword HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\Priority256
value data Decimal "75" , then I tried many combinations and I rebooted it everytime.. None solved my issue.
Ps: It's not a hardware issue, this crackling pops up while playing the ringtone and especially while announcing the name...
Thanks for your concern..

I noticed the same thing when there are 2 sound sources going to the speaker at the same time the speaker crackles badly.. (on mine it does at least).. Otherwise, I haven't heard of this crackling till I installed Voice Command.
my BA also has this problem.
I am using VC 1.5

Does anyone else have this problem...?
I've just got an HBH-662 for the Universal and it pairs fine and can make calls, but answering calls it doesn't work properly.
The headset recognises incoming calls and rings okay, but when you press the button to answer the call, it doesn't put the sound through the headset, only through the phone.
Maybe it's a setting I'm missing, but it's a tad annoying!
F.
I'm not sure I can help much, but I have no problems with my HBH-662 and my Jasjar.
Brett
I too have no problems with the HBH-662 and answering calls.
Will give it loads of testing later and see if i can get it to act the same as yours
I have been using HBH-662 with JJ for few weeks and in general I have no problem. I just wish that the Caller ID issue (the ability for the JJ to send contact name to the BT headset instead of number only) is resolved very soon.
I've not had any problem answering calls. The only problem I've experienced with this headset is an apparent clash with programs like GSPPocketMagic, MagicButton and HandyMenu. With either of the three apps running, my headset drops the connection after 20-30 seconds and I have to press the button on the headset to pick up the call again, which it drops 20-30 seconds later, etc. The moment I uninstall these apps it works fine again.
How strange. It seems to have sorted itself out!
I paired my old BT330 to compare it, it worked fine, so I removed the Akono and re-paired it and it seems to be working.
Thanks for the comments folks, it's useful even though you didn't get the same probs!
Now the next issue is how to reconcile the fact that SE say this thing provides "Caller ID", which I took to mean the NAME of the person, with the fact that it doesn't do anything of the sort... only the number.
And who really remembers the numbers of their friends these days?!

It does provide CallerID name... but only with certain phones WM phones being among those that don't provide name information. It's my understanding that the problem lies in the bluetooth stack on the phone and not with the headset. I did see a post a short while back that suggested the issue was being worked on and would be resolved in a ROM update, so I have hope... but I'm not holding my breath.
Brett
Hehehehehehehe.
Microsoft 'working on' the bluetooth stack...
hehehehehehehehe. Sorry. I just find that really funny. The idea that MS are actually working on anything to do with the BT stack on WM!
I don;t really understand why it takes so long to program a bit of BT to provide something like that (or, say A2DP!). I mean, how hard can it be?
Well I'm not a programmer so I won't moan.

Any more comments if Sony Erickson Akono BT headset HBH662 really clashes with magic button and handy menu?
All of the sudden I can't hear caller voice, but when I put on speaker then everything is ok. I then switch back to regular mode and can't hear. As if I am on mute. Anyone have the same problem? or help me pin the problem. The phone rings fine.
Please help the old guy out geniuses.
Thanks in advance
hi,
i think that your problem is not software but hardware...it happend to me...just the little speaker broked....you have to change that or you can use with bluetooth headset....
Keep in mind that this is my experiene , i don't know if it be the same for you..but i think so
How many speaker are there on the phone? I thought only one right? the music, handfree speaker is fine. If there are more than one speaker, please direct me a site where I can order it. Thanks
For some reason, I think this is more software problem then hardware. The phone is in my case and never drop and taking really good care of it.
Hi!
I have same issues here.
I think there is a rom problem or somenthing like that...
Here I have to reset.. make alot of calls to test .. raise de volume up.. change speaker and works... its really annoying.
BTW.. I was using Cloudy 1.3 and was flawlessly. Changed to Gen.Y D2 R2 , issue is back .. =(
I think it's a software problem.Have you installed any software like codec or some other audio/sound application?If so try to uninstall it and resart your device.If not try a hard reset.

i believe there are 2 speakers in diamond, one is for ringer and speaker phone the other is for calling.
try switching back to Cloudy 1.3 and see if problem still exist?
if there are then your speaker is broken otherwise it's the rom problem.
Guys, just FYI the same issue appears when you install SRS WOW HD sound driver v1.5.1. Version 1.2.1 was working smoothly on diamond, but once i installed this new one, all sounds are mute for some reason and once i uninstalled it again, it was back to normal. Don't know if this will help, anyways with this issue you don't hear anything (ringer, alarm, caller)...
Actually I had the same problem, it was the internal speaker giving problems... u might hve to give it in for repairs if u can....
Hearing aid batterys? lol
I also have this problem... I believe that some of the ROMs that I've installed before set the speaker volume too high which resulted in the speaker blowing. I suggest you either send the phone in for repairs or search for software on XDA which turns the speakerphone on automatically when you make calls, that's how I get around this. You just put it by your ear like normal and you can still hear the phonecall =) Seems like HTC uses really crappy speakers in their phones...
I have a TP2 unbranded phone I bought of off ebay when it first came out. I have had no problems with it till two days ago. Now when I use Microsoft Voice commands I have to speak really loud into the mic for it to hear me or when I call someone I have to speak really loud before they hear me because my normal voice isn't being picked up by the phone. Its also the same if I use speakerphone. I was wondering if the audiopara3 file can be changed to fix this or if there was a registry hack or cab file to increase mic sensitivity. I have wrote other threads regarding this but not much help. So now I am offering 45 dollars to whoever fixes my problem.
Thanks.
Install this app and reboot
This should fix your prob
what app my phone has no mic right now.
try a hard reset ...
or try a different rom ...
Could be just the mic went bad
Have you tried toggling the auto volume control? (settings, all settings, system, auto volume control)
Right, here’s the situation, I replaced the screen on my HTC Desire HD a few days ago and literally the first boot since there was a Wifi notification of a ROM update also, so I did it... (Orange UK Software number 3.13.61.5) anyway, since replacing the screen / updating the ROM, the Microphone has gone ridiculously quiet when making or receiving a phone call and if I open the Voice recorder, I can barely hear my recorded voice back, and the only way people can hear me when I call them is if they put it on loudspeaker and still put the phone to their ear...
Ok so initially I thought that this might be a hardware issue as I have been in the phone, however, given the fact that I can hear some playback via voice recorder, this means that the Microphone is working..?
So after a bit more investigation, I found that if I remove the bottom panel that covers the SD Card and Sim Card slots, then Voice recorder works perfectly (but my signal drops off completely so I can't test a phone call... *Are the 2 little gold contacts to do with the antenna?*) So I have come to the conclusion that it must be software? As obviously when these 2 little gold contacts make connection with the phone again, ye it enables me to make a phone call, but wrecks the microphone...
On a side note, I have checked the little Microphone hole on that bottom panel and shoved a pin through it and it’s as clean as a whistle so it can't be a blockage of any sort...
So something is happening when the bottom panel is on the phone, those 2 gold contacts tell the phone to do something? Provide an antenna for it but in doing so almost muting the microphone at the same time..?
Any ideas on how I can fix this or where shall I start? Could this still be a hardware issue? Shall I strip the phone down again and pay special attention to a specific part? :S
Please Help!?
Thanks in advance!
Adam.
which rom are you using? if that's a stock rom, it is highly recommended that you try one of the custom ones from development section (sense 3.5 roms)
Yes, its a stock ROM that was pushed OTA... It's a friends phone, I have a HD2 so I'm very familiar with flashing roms etc... but I'm going through the custom roms section and I can't seem to be able to find a good guide as a starting point..? I see a lot about Downgrading? and S-Off..? (Does that mean Signature Off?)
Thanks very much for the reply though!
Ok... I've flashed a custom ROM now, and a different radio '[ROM] Android Revolution HD 7.0.3 | High Quality & Performance | O/C | Legendary' is the rom I used...
Exactly the same... It's as if the microphone level is right down when the phone has signal/network as if I shout the voice recorder picks stuff up then...
Is there an App I can use to tweak the gain or something on the Mic levels?
I've had the phone in bits again and cleaned out everywhere, theres no dust build up or anything of the sort so I'm sure its not hardware related... but then if the ROM is completely different then it can't be software either can it..? :S
Cheers, Adam.

I'm no expert on electricity and all that but can it be possible that the power input onto the mic is being too low so that it is not functioning properly due to a newer screen sucking up a higher power? but then you mentioned that by removing those plates, it works fine...
I couldn't come across a fix as it seems that not many people had this problem so it seems that it is more of a hardware problem but i'll post asap i find something
EDIT: maybe this
Thanks for the reply! I can't understand what it could be... I have figured out though that if I hold the phone horizontally in front of my mouth and talk then it works... so I'm completely stumped as to what it could be...
Is there no way I can edit some sensitivity figure somewhere? :S
Cheers, Adam.
No mic issue continued

Hi All
I have had the same issue with no mic imput when calling someone on a HTC Desire 500 phone.
My problem started when I paired a plantronics bluetooth hands free device to my phone and started to use it.
While using the PK100 device all was perfect and no issues, but when I turned off the hands free device I now have the same issue no one can her me through the phone mic, no sound at all. I believe this issue is both software and hardware the software needs to switch the hardware (mic) on and off
It is as if the mic has been switched off by the (PK100) bluetooth hands free but the software on the phone is not re-enabling the phone mic so now I am in a situation where i can only use my phone via a diferent mic headphones or PK100 hands free.
I can also add that while in a call I have the option to switch from the hands free on the phone, or to use the phone or to use the PK100 from an in call option all works ok but the mic on the phone will not reactivate. this seems to be an issue with the software not activating the mic.
If anyone has any idea I would like to here...
Hello,
the sound quality is very bad. The strange thing is, the problem occurs only using the phone app. I am using the stock phone app.
Any idea? I need help. All other things are working but I can't use the phone to make calls. It sounds like distortion ... . Already the sound during ringing has the problem.
The problem only occurs with the internal front speaker. No problem if I use the rear loudspeaker or headphones.
Is there a wait to solve the problem?
Call Sample
Hello,
here is an call sample. I know the quality is not perfekt beacause of the notebook fan. I call another phone and after ringing the mailbox of the called person starts. Especially at the end were the mailbox voice occurs the problem is very clear. It is nearly impossible to understand what is said.
Is this the normal sound of the internal speaker (front)?

Hello,
thanks for the answer. Found the following thread.

Strange thing I am also using this phone in Europe. I am quite sure the problem is not a hardware problem. Because if I use the phone with VoIP service app, the speaker just works ok.
I would try a clean flash of a custom rom, factory reset maybe (was it always bad?..)? I also had problems with the internal speaker, if I have set the volume higher than half, it made crackle sounds. But it was a hardware issue, (in skype, fring,viber also had this problem). I had to send it back to the usa, cause I live in europe and literally no one could fix it here because of the lack of hardware. I had to live without my phone for a month.. annoying thing, but now it's ok

First of the time after buying I didn't use the phone for calling. With Skype I will try again. Also the VOIP test. How did you manage the repair? With ATT or Samsung?
Its not only because of the time. Also because of the money for transport and repair.
Thanks for answering and help!
