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.
Hey Guys It appears that I'm not the only one who feels TP2 volume is a little on the low side. For some it may be just fine. I have installed attached Audiopara4 file on my T-Mobile TP2 and man it makes it SUPERLOUD. The only problem is that while it increases the ringer and system volume substantially when I call someone they can't hear me on the other end. I was wondering if any of you TP2 Specialist (Smile) could take this file and experiment with it a little and see if someone could tweak it so we can enjoy the SUPERLOUDNESS
The Audiopara3 file that someone has already supplied for our phones is ok, but once you install this one its MEGA. I've attached the file below along with Audiopara3 zip just in case someone wants to revert back during the experiment. Thanks for your help.
Hmmmmmmm I tried the AudioPara 3 cab a while back and it increased the InCall volume significantly, are both of those files needed?
Only advice I could give is to try another radio if there not able to hear you on there end.

Just the AudioPara4 file is to be experimented with. I attached the AudioPara3
file for those that need to revert back to original Audiopara3.cvs file already in TP2 windows directory. I'm currently using radio 4.46.25.24 and it appears to be ok. Have you tested AudioPara4 yet?
hey there
i have 2 questions 1 does this increase bluetooth vol? i noticed a slight change in speakerphone vol.. but not much on my stereo bt ... and 2 with these csv files .. do i delete the other ones in the windows folder? i have:
AudioPara.csv
AudioPara3.csv
AudioPara3_ATT.csv
AudioPara3_Boot.csv
AudioPara3_TMO.csv
and now..
AudioPara4.csv
.... ?

I have not, what are the differences from Audio3?
Hi, I'm a complete newb and I'd like me TP2 to have louder rings and system sounds, especially the speakerphone. Only problem is I have the Verizon TP2 Global version with both CDMA and GSM capability. Am I in the wrong area, if so could you point me in the right way. Oh, I live in Southern California and just purchased my Verizon TP2 about a week and a half ago.
TIA

major ringtone system volume increase. Mega.
I am afraid of blowing a speaker?? Has this happened to anyone?
It has not cabranscom, blowing your speaker would only be possible if you raised the volume to max everytime when using the speakerphone which you'd then be damaging your ears as well lol
I still feel like mine is rather quiet as well, particularly the earpiece. Where did you get this Audiopara4 file?
jcc332006,
Did you ever get the Audiopara4 to work properly. I really like the super loudness of all the system sounds on my TouchPro2, but when I turn on the speaker for a phone call, I just get hiss and crackles. Back on the standard Audiopara3 for now.

Where exactly did you find the audiopara4 files? Is there a thread that I missed???
does anyone kno if this works on the clarity of the sound out of the headphone jack too?
Hey guys,
I hope I'm not the only one, but for all of you that have an "ORIGINAL" ring sound, is it low when you receive a call?
I have the ring volume at MAX and I'm using a "office ring" ringtone, but it's just soooo low and can barely be heard when placed in a holder and in my pocket.
When I searched this forum, I found this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581477&highlight=ring+volume . Could this really be the cause of the problem? I do in fact have vibrate and ring, but I use the custom "av1pr" sequence that people from the Jade threads mentioned.
Hopefully there's a solution! Thanks!
ok i did a lot of testing and found out the vibrate has nothing to do with the ring volume
the system sound volume seems to be controlling the ring volume even when i separate the volume controls (one for ring, one for system).
i dont like the system sound loud, but i have no choice because the ring is very very low even at 100%
any of you guys have this problem or know a fix?
thanks
For a past phone, I had copied the ringer sound file that I liked to my PC, used a free audio recording/editing program and re-recorded the sound with a louder volume. Then, I copied the new sound file back to the phone and pointed the phone to it.

Thanks guys for the help.
I actually used the "registry" fix from the link, but where could I find a program that could increase the volume of a sound clip?
My sound is still a bit low.
I used the "Sound Recorder" which comes with Windows.

Thank you, I will test it out
I have a custom bootanimation that includes audio. Sometimes when I boot it is VERY loud. Other times not so loud. I've been unable to identify exactly what controls the volume for the bootanimation.
-xdadevelopers-user
I believe system volume. Try quick settings app to adjust it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Thats what i was thinking that what ever vol you were on when you reboot or shut down is how loud the boot sound will be, but not positive. I always remove the boot sounda.
It is the ringer volume. If you have no ringer volume, you will get no sound. If you have high ringer volume, you get loud sound. You can remove or change the boot sound by replacing or removing the VZW_Droid.mp3 in /system/customize/resource/, or if your rom has /data/customize, then /data/customize/resource/

Hmmm...
I am running stock, updated to Gingerbread. There is a separate bootup sound file in my syste/customize/resource folder named VZW_Droid.mp3. I swapped mine out with a renamed short mp3.
