I seem to have a problem that few others have, even when set to the lowest on all levels, the output is sometimes way to loud. I have also tried different APPS, currently using Quick Settings but to no avail on the loud volume problem.
Sometimes it is possible to hear and follow the phone conversation without activating the loudspeaker just by holding the phone an arm length from my head....
I've just rooted my Desire, is it possible to tweak the output signals anyway?
I've setup the SDK but I haven't dived into the Package Index / Class Index yet.
Anyone know if its possible to lower the output?
Thanks,

Anyone know how set accounstic parameters works?
I am trying to adjust the fact that full volume on the Phone via the speaker is fine, but then when I listen to music via the wired headphones, I have to turn it dwn to say 35%, then I get a call and volume jumps right up to max and it sound slike the other person is shouting right in my ear.
(Ok that is probably the effect the wife is trying to achieve, but even so....)
I was wondering if this can be achieved by tweaking the set accoustic parameters files.
The first hurdle seems to be that a different file is used per operator - how do I know what my operator ID is?
If anyone can help or make any other suggestions I would be most grateful.

doesn't really help and relates to bt headphones?
Bump? Anyone?
OK really no one knows anything? Just give me a few hints about how this all worls and I will tr and find time to play around with it and work out the rest.
IIRC set accoustic parameters runs on the first setup ? Does it run each soft reset ?
Any info would give me a useful starting point.

Low Phone Volume
Do a search on "Low Phone Volume" and you will find a thread by that name in this forum with a great deal of information on this topic.
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
Hello!
I've searched high and low for info on this and came up dry.
I'd like to increase the in call ear piece volume. What methods are there for this phone? For my tp2, the process was also convoluted, and involved custom audiopara.csv (or similar) files. I realize we're talking apples and oranges here as this is a completely different phone, os, etc. Reading past threads, it appears this worked on some of the older software versions.
My phone is rooted and nand unlocked, running the fresh 3.5.0.1 rom.
Any help would be appreciated.
Go to your Menu > Settings > Call. Check Hearing aids. It increases in call volume
Thanks for the suggestion.
I was actually looking for something that increased gain more so than the hearing aid option, which btw also disables the volume control entirely.
Hi
I have a HTC Desire and a blueparrot bluetooth headset.
Have tried a few different mods and currently running latest cyanogenmod 7 stable version.
The volume of the microphone is VERY low, so quiet that some people cannot even hear me. If I change to phone mic or speakerphone volume is absolutely fine for them.
Also if I am trying to use the bluetooth headset for voice commands, it is very lucky to get anything correct, no doubt because the volume is so low.
The headset has been tried on other (non Android) devices and works fine. I am pretty sure it is something to do with the Android OS.
I also do not recall having this problem with the stock HTC image that was on the phone, although I only know its a problem if people complain.
I notice that there is a kernel patch for HD2 versions (which I guess mine could not support being a revision 1 desire) that provides for /proc/miclevel control.
Is there any way that I can fix this? Or any roms and kernels that may have this fixed?
I also require the call recording patch in the kernel to be able to record calls without using the speakerphone, so if anyone can incorporate that into suggestions if possible too please?
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Andy

Moving to Q&A
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.
