I just received my HTC Dash. It's been unlocked, and upgraded to HTC WM6. The In-Call volume is horribly low. The Joggr does affect it, but even at it's loudest it's hard to hear in a quiet room. I've searched the forums and made every registry change I could find, but none of which seem to affect the volume on a call. Any suggetions?
The most effective thing you can do is to make sure the Volume Strip is at its maximum level, and then disable it in Settings. If you touch it slightly when enabled during a call, you can turn it down. Best to disable it.
There are registry edits which I did, but once I realized my Volume Strip was disabled at a low volume setting, I put them back to their original values after turning up the Strip.
Once in a call, I jog it up and get the "Earpiece Volume" Screen. It's set to max (indicator bar on screen is full), and it's still entirely too low to hear. The speaker volume and everything seems fine. I just cant get the earpiece increased. Even will the volume you low, I can jog it down, and make it get even lower, it's like the top-end isnt high enough.

I've went through all the settings and back, with no volume change.
Any other suggetions?
Did you restart the phone after making the changes?
I made the changes, adjusted my volume strip to max, and then it was painfully loud so I had to reduce the settings as follows:
CODEC 00
EAC 72
EARPHONE UPLINK 15
RECEIVE UPLINK 19
(I couldn't enter 0's anymore, for some reason!)
Anyway, it's perfect now for me. Don't know what else to tell ya!

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)?
