I brought the Desire and when I play music on the player the volume is very low!!! I installed couple of volume applications but made no difference...
Thank you,
The volume is set low, but it seems that it can be increased if you are prepared to flash your phone with the generic HTC firmware rather than one from T-Mobile (or whatever your provider might be).
There is a thread already on this subject, but as a new user I can't post links to it!

If thats the case then its probably the stupid EU law on volumes on MP3 / Mobiles
Hopefully... To stop little tits on the bus listening to their crap songs and annoying people.
JAmes.
the volume on the Desire through headphones is very low - if anyone knows of an easy way to change this, hopefully without any drastic measures like reflashing away from the stock rom please share your knowledge!
for me (a desire unlocked owner) I consider the mp3 volume through speaker louder, however when I try to speak with someone and put caller voice through speaker, it is too slow.. and I can't raise anymore
The recent ROM update (1.21.110.4 for branded users, 1.21.405.2 for generic) increases the volume according to a couple of people here on the foums, so I suggest you try that.
I myself have not experienced low media volume both pre and post rooting.
Custom ROMS have the audio mod but that's mainly to improve audio clarity. Media has always been high and clear for me.
I had the same problem, but I solved it by taking a pin and putting it through each of the little holes in the ear piece part. Now my calls are at a very good volume, I guess that these had clogged up with debris from general use.
volume is ok

Has anyone come up with a working solution for the low speaker volume during phone calls on the Touch Pro2? Tried the Audiopara tweak, and lost ALL volume on the speaker, Tried changing settings with "HD Tweak", no effect. FWIW, my ringer volume is fine.
Seems like some folks get results, some don't. My hearing is lousy to start with, so I really need to find a working fix, or ditch the phone.
Use this cab and then reboot
It worked great for me

Makes the button beeps louder, but completely eliminates all phonecall audio!
Not only that, but deleting the cab didn't restore what little audio I had. Had to do a hard reset!!!
Yea .. I have been strugling with this also .. I have a t-mobile tp2
I updated to the new wwe 6.5
The Volume on the incall / ear speaker isnt loud enough for me
( I work const. And have bad hearing )
I have tried very trick in the book and have goten everything to be louder
but the ear volume LOL the speaker the announcements ect .. are good .. even was able to fix the ringer volume and voice command announcements.
Everything I try screws up the ear volume makes it too soft or to bassy
or just screws it up ..
Anyone have a clue how to fix this ?

Strange, I have it working great and imrpoved the volume a lot!
Perhaps is something related with your ROM
If uninstall not helped, which is strange also, then soft reset and if not hard reset will be the option...
Sorry to hear did not worked for you
I feel your pain, brother! I have 3 of these phones, and am about to give up and sell them because of this stupid problem. What really gets me is that I have seen this same very common complaint (low earpiece volume) with other HTC phones as well. I know of several that have been returned. Don't they pay attention to customer feedback? "Full volume" should be painfully loud, not barely audible. Such a shame to have this be the "deal breaker" for an otherwise great phone.
Some might say to try the SRS WOW HD program, don't do it. It causes lockups and the units don't come out of power down states.
Bump. Bump.

All three have the same issue? Cdma or gsm? My verizon tp2 has very adequate volume and I usually have to have it turned down a notch or two or it is painful to my ear. Same when using the loud speaker. I thought I saw a volume fix cab floating around, might be for specific cdma roms, not sure. I'm wondering if it is more of a gsm v. issue. I agree I have seen this with many diff htc phones, but I can also say I've seen/heard of it with nokia and also other makes. Sorry I have no help, just the comment.
Ringtone Gets Loud In The End

I Need Help With Making My Ringers LOUD!!!!!! LOL and im on 6.5

I have too LOUD in-call volume from the phone.
Using the built-in volume rocker does NOTHING to the in-call voice volume.
The volume is so excruciatingly painful that I can keep my wired HTC hf set 10cm from my ears and still listen perfectly to the conversation.
Not very practical though.
Is there ANY working solution that makes the Volume controller actually control in-call voice volume during phone calls?
I'm running stock 6.5 ROM with no hacks and no audio related software installed.
Bump
Still hoping for an answer.
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.
Some of you may have this problem, some of you may not, but me and my cousin have this problem with our G2 where the sound from the other line is very quiet for us when we use the phone... as a phone. So what I want to know is, is there any way to increase the sound on for this? Do we have defected phones?
I have this problem as well. In call volume is maxed out but it doesn't sound very loud at all.
I have root access with CM 6.1.0 RC3.
My calls are loud and clear. Its the speaker phone thats low for me.
Does it happen with all calls incoming and out going?
Also are you on wifi?
How is your signal strength?
Same with me my speak phone volume is lower than I would like it, but head set speaker loud and clear

Yes, it's all of the calls that I make and receive. I'm never on wifi and my signal strength during the calls are all good. It may be just me also, but the G2 mic may be quiet also because when I call my cousin he sounds like he's whispering to me but when I call someone else their sound is just quiet, but enough to hear it with a small bit of background noise. I haven't asked him how the sound was when I called him since it's something I just noticed.
Mine's a little soft as well. It kinda sucks that one of the few flaws with this phone is it's use as a phone, lol.

You sure the phone volume is up? Also have you called Tmobile about this?
I have had mine for a little over a month and it is loud and clear, I have no issues hearing anyone, and no one has issues hearing me... really good sound quality imo. I am on stock rom still. Speakerphone is very weak for me as well.
Yeah, in call phone volume is incredibly weak for me. Going to try to boot into stock and see what happens. Is there an app to make the volume louder? Or some way we can change it?
EDIT: Okay. Turns out that I am an idiot. Phone is still new for me so I left the default protective screen on. As soon as I took that off, phone calls were a lot more clear. Just ordered a proper screen protector so I just have to be careful until then haha. Don't know if this will help out anyone but hey, figured I let you guys know.
You know, the real problem with the G2 is HTC quality control on those. I'm on my second G2...the call volume is way lower than my first one...
also the keyboard is a LOT better on the second one, I didn't care at all about the keyboard on my first G2, as the keys were very recessed and didn't have a real "feedback", so I never used it. Made me think the whole keyboard thing about the phone was useless, now I'm in love with it.
My problem is the hinge on the second G2 is much looser than the first one.
If you bought yours recently, just exchange it.

I'm positive the phone volume up. I haven't called T-Mobile yet because I haven't had time.
Ditto on the in call volume, would like to boost.
Anyone try this app Louder Volume Hack v4.1?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.AutoMod
I came from an HTC Aria and had the same in call sound trouble, then I tried Louder Volume Hack v3.6 but no luck, did not work.
Instead after some other searching I found a XDA forum that suggested turning on the TTY for the Hearing Impaired option in the Aria and waa-laa ---it worked. Apparently though, this TTY / Hearing Imparied option does not exist in the SOUND settings for the Z.
So, still looking for idea on the in call volume boost.

Theres an app called DSP Manager on CM 6.1.1 that i used to up the voume a whole lot. It comes already installed when you install that rom.
My speaker works great except during a call. I can't hear a thing from it when on a call however. It must be a software issue, then. I started a thread a bit back, but with no luck. I hope we can find a fix.
my in ear sound isnt that loud either.
Ok...regarding the app called DSP Manager on CM 6.1.1, I checked into this, but is appears it only helps on the "media" volume but NOT the phone speaker or in call volume for when the phone is to my ear during a call.
Can you advise, is DSP Manager helping for this in call volume?
Ok...
I found 3 different versions of DSP manager and frankly am afraid to install w/o having a little more dialog with some of you that may be wiser than me.
The three files are attached and as listed are:
DSPManager120210_ALL.zip
DSPManager_080910.apk
DSPManager_100810.zip
The DSPManager120210_ALL.zip file came from this link and appears to the the latest
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_DSPManager
The APK file came from this XDA link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750765
Anyway, after looking at the DSPManager_100810.zip file in unzipped mode, the file structure is different than the other zip file, which makes me a little nervous to flash uisng ROM Manager of Clockworkmod.
Meanwhile, I may install the APK file because I can easily uninstall if there is no improvement in the IN CALL VOLUME.
Any insights are welcomed.
Well I dove in and thank goodness for NAND backups...
Here is the deal (as of 12/31/10 4:05 PM EST):
- DSPManager120210_ALL.zip DID NOT FLASH
- DSPManager_080910.apk INSTALLED BUT NO CHANGE ON MY DESIRE Z A7275
- DSPManager_100810.zip FLASHED BUT NO EAR PEICE SOUND NOR SPEAKER SOUND
Now as of 12/31/10 4:11 PM EST in an restoring from my 12/31/10 10:00 AM EST NAND backup.
Gosh I hate doing this trial and error stuff, talk about a heart attack.
Will update after I complete my full restore and hope all is back in fully operational order.
==========================================================================
UPDATE....FULLY RESTORED 4:21 PM EST...PHEW!!
Thank you Koushik Dutta for clockworkmod!!!

Google intentionally plugged this hole. Meltus isn't developing this app beyond Donut.

I'm soo sorry bro, I luld Happy new year!
Hi, everyone. This is my first post here so please for your unterstanding.
I've a HTC One X, Endeavoru and the problem is too low in-call volume. I tried Vol+ during the call but no effect, it is to low for me. I don't know maybe the speaker is broken, but I bought the phone brand new.
Is there any application or kernel witch can increase in-call volume?
I already have:
CM 11 NIGHTLY ROM
CID 11111
On the stock ROM(and 4.1.1, 4.2.2) I had the same problem.
PS. I did not use a toothbrush because my phone is new and speaker grill is not a problem.
Please search for existing threads before opening new ones
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770054
you can clean your speakers using tooth brush or something can go through that speaker small dots
clean both of your speakers i did try that was a big difference before and after !
I installed application from link above, but correct me if i'm wrong. This application cannot boost volume when i'm talking with another person through the speaker on the top of the phone? It can increase volume only when I listen to music, am i right?
Let's say, I do not want to listen to music, i would like to hear another person a little louder.
Sorry for my English
My phone seems to have a low volume for all sounds. Any roms or other hacks can boost my in call volume? I have full S-off and can load anything. I have been roaming around and can't find anything that specifically talks about boosting the in call volume. Mine is really low and the speakerphone and even playing music with the speakers is also pretty weak.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
You can try to edit the values in the mixer path xml file (use a file explorer with root access). I haven't tried it with the M8, but I think it should work. You can do an XDA search, for general instructions on various device (don't know if you will find a guide or thread about doing this specifically on the M8).
Make a backup of the original xml file, and there certainly wouldn't be any harm in trying (somewhat obvious, take care not to harm your hearing or the device by using excessive volume levels).
Also, if you it's just the speakers/earpiece that have low volume (for instance the volume levels on headphones is okay), you may look into cleaning the speakers of any debris. Some folks have had a significant increase in speaker volume from doing this. There is a thread on it, somewhere in this M8 forum.
I suffered from low overall volume too and was about to do what redpoint73 said, but I did sone some snooping around the forum to find the said thread and found this https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/sound-to-normal-t3559052
I did what post #6 said and the difference was like day and night. I highly recommend it as you might have dirty speaker grills like me.
