HTC Audio Manager Volume Steps

Does anyone know if there is any way to make the volume changes in smaller steps in HTC Audio Manager? I'd rather change it 1% at a time rather than 5%. Couldn't find anything on search, maybe there's a registry setting available?
Thanks!

volume step
Does noone know an answer to reduce the volume steps from 5% to 1%? This would be very usefully for listening with headphones...

This doesn't really answer the question...
I've got a HTC Touch Diamond and feel the same problem.
When I press the volume hardware buttons, the volume increases / decreases by steps of 3 bars. I also would like to modify it by single steps (or even less)
Isn't it a registry settings for that?
Thank's

Possible work-around?
Hi,
What I do with my MDA compact 3 is this:
Main Volume icon (next to battery on top bar) works independently to my volume control in WMP.
If you have max volume on icon indicator, and have 50% on WMP, then you will have 50% volume.
But if you change the icon to 50% of volume, and have 50% on WMP, then you have halved the volume...ie 25%...
So you can fine tune using both volumes..
I hope it makes sense...!!

I'm not really interested in WMP.
Anyway, in my HTC Touch Diamond, hardware buttons and main volume icon (as you described) are the same.
So thank's for trying, but it doesn't solve this issue ;-)

Exactly the same behavior with the headset.

it's disturbin me as well that it's not possible to change the volume in single steps.
Who can help?

still no any sollution?

There is a program, it`s called volumex. It does exactly what you want but it's not free.
It costs around 10$ but there is also a trial version to check if it fits your needs.

How to control the headset volume?

Hello,
been searching/investigating this problem for a while and still can't find a solution.
basically, when using the stock wired headset, I find the volume during a phone call far too loud and not loud enough when listening to mp3s / radio.
when in a call, using the volume button does not seem to make any difference.
any suggestions?
thanks in advance

Go to your music tab in Manila/TouchFlo. From the menu you can choose Audio Booster. This could solve your problem with the not loud enough mp3.
For the phone "too loud" problem you can go to the settings tab -> Sound. There you have two volume controls; Ringtone and System. Lowering the system could solve your problem. But lowering using the touch volume button (as your stock headset doesn't has volume controls if i'm right), should lower the sound during a phone call.

You can push the volume buttons on the left side of the phone. Problem with this is it jumps in big increments.
But it'll also change the volume of your ringtones as well. So what you can do is:
Settings tab -> Sound -> Turn "Single Volume" off
Now when pressing the hardware key, you'll see it bring up System & Ring Tabs. So you can control your music volume without changing the ringtone volume

I forget to mention this, thanks charlie

I have the following issue myself:
Regardless how set up (single volume on/OFF, System volume set to 20% or 100%) my in-call volume of voice, once the call has started is extremely LOUD, regardless of who calls and how loud they speak.
This is even more so, if I'm using the wired headset.
Using the side volume buttons during a call do show the volume animation AND the volume bar goes down, but the actual in-call volume doesn't change a bit.
This is maddeningly loud.
Is this how it should be working?
I have stock 6.5 ROM (WWE), no hacks.

Same problem here...
... any solutions?
I have single volume turned off, and regardless if I try to turn down "ring" or "system" volume, the headset stays extremely (uncomfortably) loud...
Cheers,
Jan

Having the same problem. Is there a fix?

Not sure if Volumex fixes it on the TP2, but on my TP1 and HD2 no such problem.

i have the same problem. Volumex doens't fix it.
It's incredible that there is no solution for this stupid problem.

My stock headset has a volume control, I gather yours doesn't have this feature?

no i haven't this features..
however i found the possible solution (it work for me), searching in other topic of this forum.
You mast edit the file audiopara3_TMO.csv (windows folder, it is hidden so you must use an explorer which allows to see the system hidden file like resco explorer).
basically you have in this file these lines:
F0,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL0,0,4000,4000,0,4000,C8,0,2000,0,780,FF9A,2580..
F1,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL1,1,4000,4000,0,4000,1F4,0,2000,0,780,FF9A...
F2,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL2,2,4000,4000,0,4000,5DC,0,2000,0,780,FF9A...
F3,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL3,3,4000,4000,0,4000,1388,FFFF,2000,0....
F4,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL4,4,4000,4000,0,4000,2EE0,FFFF,2000,...
F5,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL5,5,4000,4000,0,4000,61A8,FFFF,2000...
the most important value is the sixth (in hexadecimal) which is the volume value. if you use the volume level on the left side of the phone the volume of the the headset changes according the value reported in this file. I edit these values according to my "ears" ranging between c8(volume=200) and 61A8(volume=25000), and i clearly feel the change in the volume when i use the headset (you need an hex-decimal converter, there are several online)
actually (as suggested in other topic) you must point in the registry editor to this file, creating the value
HKLM\drivers\builtin\wavedev\AcousticFile and set this value to \windows\AudioPara3_TMO.csv (or rename the file as u want but with extention csv)
After editing soft reset.
In this file there are the other volume values for calls without headset, with the bt, and with the carkit. these values are in the lines
F6,PHONE_HANDSFREE_VOL0...
F12,PHONE_EARCUPLE_VOL0...
F18,PHONE_BTHEADSET...
F19,PHONE_CARKIT.
i suppose that to change the volume values on must changes the sixth parameter as in the previous case.
This works for me, and solve the problem.

I know this is probably stating the obvious, but if you press the volume button and you see the volume bar you can always adjust it to your liking by swiping your finger up and down on the volume bar. This way you can get the inbetween volumes between too loud and too low.

Adjusting Dialer volume...It's doable...but I don't know how...

Alright, so, I noticed at one point that the dialer volume was really low, and I didn't mind it one bit...because I was looking for a way to get it to lower. Now it's back to normal...and I'm back to finding a way, has anyone else experienced their dialer volume being different at times? What did you do before or after the change?

When I installed SWITCHPRO...it lets you go into the info secion (free one even) and then click on the volume icon and the you can change the system volumes here. That's how I do it....

Uhm...wouldn't that just increase/decrease the ringer volume? I understood that he wanted to change the sound of the system clicks/beeps/sounds.

Download audio manager from the market then adjust system volume
Sent from my unrEVOked using xda app

Right I know there are tools for this, but I did it without any tools at all...I'm pretty sure it wasn't coming out of the speaker on the back...but softly out of the ear piece.

[Q] Is it possible to have more granular sound control?

One thing that bugged me about the Note (and most tablets/phones) was volume control. Often times I need to have the volume set low enough as to not disturb someone else in the home, but I have two choices, either I can't hear it or it is very loud.
I found a app called Fine Volume Control that allowed me to adjust the volume on a 100% scale in 1% increments or decrements. It allowed for the perfect volume level. The only part that made it suck was that you had to hit the volume up or done (sometimes making a video or whatever blast for a second) and you would get a "popup" volume control dial. Anyway, I'm assuming that the amount of control is (currently 15 points) must be somewhere in some section of the system that a root user could modify much like an app would only so that the volume buttons and sliders would adjust it properly with more levels of control.
Does anyone know if this setting exists and if yes, where would it be?

you can change the base volume in the default_gain file in system/etc but i havent found any related to adding the step...

Hmm...I tried changing a few things (nothing like random guessing) and rebooted each time...doesn't seem to do much.

Cant use volume rocker Lockscreen

I have CM11 installed and I can't seem to use the volume rocker while i'm in the lockscreen. Is there a solution? Am I missing something in the settings app?

Do you mean media volume or ringer volume? Last time I checked, ringer volume cannot be changed straight from the lockscreen aside from the power menu's options (silent, vibrate, ring).

Are you trying to navigate between songs perhaps ? Like @tonytien said, we need to know what purpose you were trying to use this multipurpose button pair.

Nahh, I'm just trying to perhaps change the volume of my ringtone while using the volume rockers, I know I could do that when I was with stock rom and when I was on 10.2. Maybe it's a bug or am I missing something inside the settings.

I haven't used 10.2 enough to know since I've only used 11 with most of my time in the CM world. If ringer volume on lockscreen was ever a feature, it might have been removed. You could check the Buttons section in your settings, I think.
