Hi,
I'm using the FM Radio from the sticky on this board, and it sort of works for me. Usually I have to restart the app 3-4x before it works but once it runs, it runs smooth. When I put the earphones in and put the phone on the lowest volume level, it's still pretty loud. Can I change this in some registry entry perhaps? The phone itself lets the volume go form 0% to 6%, something inbetween would be perfect for me.
yeah - and same goes for using handsfree with phone - anything else than lowest setting is too loud.
you should report to HTC - and wait for a fix.

You may have found the reason behind it being omitted from the Rhodium stock ROM.

Use audio booster to manually set levels.
I find the wired headset on lowest volume quite loud too.
I have switched to using the headset from my Tytn II which has a manual volume control on it. Works a treat!

For a while I was having this issue intermittently and when I'd notice it (having not found any option or control otherwise) I'd just restart the phone and it would resolve. Now... it's not resolving.
The ring, notifications, MP3s, everything that plays through the rear speaker is whisper quiet. The only volume controls I can find are under profile settings, call volume controlled by the JOGGR, and in the WM Player. All are set to max. I've tried different profiles and raised everything as high as it will go.
Still vewy, vewy quiet.
What am I missing?

You could try SmartToolKit http://www.e-natives.com/www.php/download/id/40/SmartToolkit_1_0_0_RC08.html has a master volume as a gadget.
Or you can try this, i used it works fine for the S620.
Here you go

Hadn't tryed that till now, very good prog and looks sweet.
In HD Tweak, I set Volume Control\Acoustic settings to anything above the 100db limited (Default) - and audio gets boosted accordingly, but the microphone doesn't work and I'm unable to talk to anyone.. anybody have the same issue or any workaround?
I just want to boost the audio levels of the device overall. Btw, I also tried the audio booster within HDtweak and it doesn't seem to do anything. I also tried the audio boost cabs in the HDtweak site and no change.
I applied this tweak also and same thing. It even screwed up my bluetooth headset and i couldn't hear anything. When switching to speaker you only heard slight static. Only time i could hear the caller was the internal speaker but caller couldn't hear me. Had to go back to default for it function normally again. Not sure of any work around yet.
Hmm...I changed mine to "Normal" and had no problems with mic.
Guess I'll have to test further.
Did you happen to apply any other changes prior to HDtweak (such as: SRS WOW, or applying the AudioPara3.csv file floating around)? These may be conflicting with the change.
Nope, I didn't have anything else running or installed. Tried it on both mine and my fiance's TP2, with the same results.
Right now I'm using that tweaked AudioPara3.csv, but I can't really tell a difference if there's a difference, maybe a slight volume increase.

Not 100% sure of what you've done, but suggest you revert everything back to stock (HDtweak all audio related changes to default settings, remove 'audio boost cabs' and the AudioPara3.csv file), and soft-reset.
Test that mic is working properly, then try HDtweak -> only the acoustic settings to "Normal".
Soft-reset and check for mic functionality.
Sorry about that.
I meant previously that I had reset all settings back to stock, and was just running the AudioPara3.csv tweak (which didn't seem to do much or anything at all).
I reverted back to stock again now, and am just running HD Tweak\Acoustic Settings\Normal. I tested the mic with a call and it does indeed work.
I can't really tell if the volume is louder though, I think it is, but it's just hard to compare. I had set it to Maximal before and could definitely tell a huge difference, so I guess that's what I'm aiming for, or at least intermediate, but for now the Normal setting will have to do. Thanks sir.
I have installed & run HDtweak on my TP2. I hear no noticeable audio level increase. I have set all volume tweaks to max. Is a reset needed to "apply" the tweaks?
I have downloaded and tried the audiopara3 full & light boost and it made my device to where I couldn't hear the other caller at all. But it did make the ringtone louder.
I un-installed and know its back to normal.
I am having the same problem with HD tweak.
The mic goes off each time i increase the volume in HD tweak.
Still waiting for a solution and searching daily for a descent tweak, (Pro2 tweak maybe)?
Sorry to bump this old thread, but I was wondering if this HDTweak problem was ever solved?
The only way I can get my unbranded TP2's music players (WMP, Audiomanager, Coreplayer and Pocket Player) working at a comparable volume to my iPod Touch is by using HDTweak's volume tweaks, but I can't hear anything when making calls through my handset or speakerphone.
I've already tried multiple extusb adaptors and various headphones, and the sound is still considerably more muffled and not as loud as my iPod Touch.
I'd appreciate any help on this. Thanks!
Where in the rom is the settings for earpiece volume? I find in a call too quiet and want to increase it a bit. And before anyone asks yes it is turned up full when in a call lol
Want this too

are you on a T-mobile ROM?
If so, reflash with the HTC vanilla one. It fixes this.

Can you explain in a bit more detail please.
Im using richards rom........if i flash a vanilla rom does that downgrade me to 1.6
No it puts you at stock 2.1 Htc Sense.
So whats the change in vanilla from richards so we can all add this hack to our own roms to increase volume??
i think the hack/mod is the no echo mod. i believe it turns down the volume so the person on the other end of the call can't hear the speaker? i've never had an echo problem so i don't use that version and i have relatively no problems hearing the other person (and my hearing is horrible). so maybe try flashing a non no-echo mod update. or you might have to reflash .9b full first then the uvoc (if you use that), depends on if the uvoc non-echo has the audio mod files in it or not
I think it has more todo with the way people damage their ears.
Personally my volume bar is on the first notch from lowest, one press lower its zero and I can hear everything fine.
My housemate playing with my phone in turn puts the volume to max and is still complaining its too low ...
It is hard to understand what someone else hears, but I can not understand that the distorted sound comming out of the earplugs at max volume can be too soft for someone to hear properly. Maybe if you don't clean your ears at all I dont know :s
The sound from the earplugs at max volume during a conversation is still audibe to me. So another question arises, do you want others to hear your converstation? Or do I just have sensitive ears?
not sure of reason

I noticed it with the headphone out level. I plug into a stereo in the kitchen sometimes and the level was way below line-level. There's something in the T-Mobile ROM that's done this, whether deliberate or not I don't know. The vanilla official HTC one doesn't do this, and has normal output level.
I've noticed that sometimes the max volume of the ringer isn't what is normally the max volume.
I think there is something on the phone that is altering the volume, then when you exit that app, the phone thinks that the lower volume is now the maximum volume.
For example,
I boot the phone and volume is ok.
I run the FM radio, and lower the volume.
I then turn off the radio, and return the phone to max volume.
The max volume is now nowhere near where it used to be, and doesn't go back to normal until I do a reboot of the phone.
I'm not suggesting it is the radio doing this, its just an example, I need to try all my apps to see what might be doing it.
Anyone else experienced this? Maybe its an easy fix, or am doing something wrong myself.
Edited to add:
This is something to do with the radio. Phone on max volume, plugged in the headphones and launched the radio. Lowered the volume using the rocker. Unplugged the headphones and went back to the home screen. Tried increasing the volume and already as max, but much lower than it was before launching the radio.
I had a similar experience last week, the volume on the notifications was so low I could barely hear it sitting at my desk with the phone in front of me. But I rebooted and never saw the issue again. I do use the radio, so maybe it's related.
i to have knoticed this, ive turned the volume down for something then its also turned the ringtone volume down
I mailed support about it.
Also managed to crash the phone just by maxing out the ringer, plugging in the headphones, then lowering the ringer. The volume adjustment window just stayed on screen and didnt respond to pressing the rocker, even though I could see the sound profile widget changing in the background to vibrate and silent when i reached those points. Removing the headphones didnt do anything, with headphone icon still showing in notifcations bar.
Tried to reboot, but wouldn't even respond to that. Had to remove battery.
I have also experienced this issue. Being one of those who had the DHD from 18th October, I have noticed that the audio volume does indeed get affected when using the FM radio or the HTC Music app. Also Vplayer app caused this issue as well as actually 'crashing' my audio all together - sometimes after using Vplayer I had no audio at all unil I restarted.
I now solely use Car Tunes app for my audio and have had no problems at all. Also using Quick settings with everything turned up to Max I think the audio isnt too bad. Previously I thought there was a serious issue with audio, but Im starting to think it maybe just down to specific apps - I now use CoPilot also and have to turn the volume down as it so loud (in another thread I noted that SatNav was unusable because of not being able to hear anything)
Got a response from HTC, although it reads like a default 'do a hard reset' reply, which I'm not happy about doing.
What the hell is this problem now? Will problems about DHD not end one day?
I've had this problem once.. and come to think of it, it happened when I just got the phone, and I did use fm radio just to play around with it.. not another bug surely?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Also got this issue. Dont even need to lower the volume during radio playing. Just on/off radio and the main volume is "set" low. Quotes because the volume control didnt changed...
Reboot is working but its not the best solution :/
I'm having a similar problem.
Yesterday i putted my volume to zero while i was eating with my mom.
After increased it to max, the sound while typing an sms is very low.
Rebooting doesn't help, all volume settings are set to max, but the sms sound while typing is lower then it was before.
The tricks in this topic also couldn't solve the problem.
Sorry for my bad English
I know of this issue. Dolby/srs has been enabled on your phone. It should disable when you unplug your headphones but for done reason it doesn't always disable. It can be disabled manually but can't for the life of me remember the menu path for this.
Sent from my Desire HD by magic.
i got the same problem today, had to put rockplayer into mute (lowest media volume) but then somehow (after several hours till i noticed) , notifications (sms,emails) went mute too
anyone found a solution to this yet ? cos this is annoying tbh
Why don't you use tasker to automatically set the volume to max after exiting said music applications? Should work as a short term fix anyway.
This issue happened with me as well. I set the volume to max when playing angry birds but noticed it was nowhere near as loud as i remember it being before. Rebooted the phone and fixed. This is a strange issue. I wonder when HTC will roll out a fix.
Hi All,
I had kind of a similar problem, i noticed that the keypad tones was very low and the screen lock 'click' was almost silent. However, sound settings were at Max.
I downloaded Quick Settings from Android Market and found that System Volume was at 2 of 7. I increased this to 7 of 7 and all is ok now.
Maybe this will work for some.

I'm using the Moray Headphones from Razer with my HTC Desire. They seem to be pretty sensitive regarding to the volume. I can listen to music on one of the lowest settings, but for in-call volume even the lowest setting is too loud to bear.
All the apps that i found in the market just regulate the normal in-call volume, like the buttons on the side during a call. I did not find a way to go below this point. I tried to search for an option that can be set over the /sys parameters, but I had no luck there either.
Has anyone a clue, if there is a way to lower all headphone volumes in general?
I'm using Sandvolts ICS ROM at the moment, but this behavior was the same in all ROMs and Android versions I've ever tried.

Hi,
This is a very unique problem - I usually hear the other way around. I'll take a look into it and see if I can figure out a temporary fix - Stupid question: But does the in-call volume get higher when you raise the volume or is it the same?

It gets louder if I raise the volume. Everything works as expected, it's just that these headphones are too sensitive (or my ears ). If I use some bigger headphones, the loudness range is just normal.
It would be great, if there was a global range adjuster for headphones in android. Then one could boost, or in my case decrease, the overall volume range to a comfortable level.
