Ive been searching everywhere for this but either nobody has thorght about it or its not possible.
with my Touch HD the volume is far to loud to listen to music as background music or through earphones and the HTC volume control step size for the volumes is too big. its either off, medium, loud or very loud!
the default WM6.1 control is even worse!
i know that you can use your finger to adjust the HTC volume control but this still isnt sensitive enough for me.
and i also know that it is possible to adjust the volume through tweak HD or advanced config. only problem with that is that I want to be able to chose to listen to very quite music or turn it up very loud without having to go through one of those settings.
so i was wondering if anybody could make a program that either has a large step size or a user defined step size for the volume and that is activated/volume through the volume buttons.
Thanks!
P.S sorry if this is in the wrong section or if there is a requests thread but i couldnt find it.
Ok i havnt found exactly what i wanted but i did find this:
http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDownload/Volume-Control-Download-35536.html
this is an aplication which lets you choose the volume with 100 steps. and it works from the system volume so using somthing like nitrogen or media player there is another 100 steps giving me 10000 steps haha
the bad points are that you must go into filemanager and manualy start it. and even then it does not work with the volume buttons.
(if anyone knows of a way to start this when powering on the device that could be useful!)
its good but not ideal.
if anyone else can come up with somthing better speak up!
create a shortcut to the exe and add it to /device/windows/startup ?
Yep, would be nice if the volume rocker can use this little tool.
Hello,
Any news on that topic ?
Thanks
I have the same problem, i think the stepsize can be changed in the registry but i dont know where i could find this.
Just to let you know the Volume rocker switch adjusts sound in 3 steps at a time. But during music play back you can use finger or stylus to adjust volume bargarph displayed on the htc HD screen in single step and thus volume is more finely controlled. There is no need to make registry changes.
The problem is, if youre using the E100 headset (or just want to press a button in your pocket to adjust volume) it would be nice if it'd adjust 1 step instead of 3 when pressing volup or voldown..
If youre moving and just want to adjust volume its really annoying to get your phone out of your jacket/pocket, pull out your stylus and lower your volume to 1..... might be just me that is a lazybones, but still!
With Good intra headset, even one bar is too much. Is it a WM limitation that the stepsize is that big ?

The actual problem is that 1 bar (out of the 15 available), ie the quietest setting the system is capable of, is TOO loud. I wouldn't dare use headsets at 10 bars (out of 15), the sound level would blow my eardrums out.
What we'd like to do is change the "range" of volume output - so that the output power is a LOT lower at low settings, while remaining loud enough for public broadcast (ie from the speaker on the back) at higher settings.
Anyone?
Same issue here. The minimum volume is still way too high. It's a waste of battery and could hurt your ear if you use in-ear earbuds.

As an addition.... I think this "too much volume" thing is something to do with the HTC TF3D music player itself.
On my (stock Rom) HD - I can listen to the FM radio at "normal" volume levels (ie about halfway up the range), but with the TF3D player - I have to turn it right down again.
Haven't tested it with other players (eg TCPMP).
Another request for a better solution to volume control.

I have the same problem, ever since getting a set of in-ear MM50 (Sennheiser).
Too loud!
Any ideas?

You may edit the registry file:
Local_machine\software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\SavedHand SetVolume
Change DWORD to 0
(soft-reset not needed)
plug in the headphone and adjust the system volume (press the volume button on side of the device and adjust the volume that is most soothing through the headset and it will memorize it! Once you pull out the headset the volume through the system speaker will be amplified as set by step 2 below. Plugin the headset again and the vol. will revert back to the headset volume level that you adjusted above).
You can always increase or decrease headset volume using the volume switch from this point and this new level you used is memorized during next headset insertion and automatically adjusted.
Step2,
This will tweak the volume that you want when headset is not plugged in.
But remember this will be the maximum volume through the speaker and you can only decrease it using the device volume button, not increase it.
You may have to experiment a few times until you get to a satisfactory volume level (don't forget to soft-reset after tweaking each time. I found 40 to be quite reasonable.
Local_machine\software\HTC\AudioManger_eng\Config\ music_player_volumn
Change the DWORD to 10 (you may have to adjust it to suit the volume you want when the headset is unplugged. In fact 10 is too low and I found 40 to be more reasonable) or lower(I think even 10 is too low!) and soft-reset the device.
the music will become lighter in the TouchFLO3D music player
I did both of the above steps and it solved the problem dramatically! It works even if you are using other software players(windows media player etc)

i just proud of my name is being posted by other
None of these thins work with noise isolating headphones where 1 bar is too loud. As soon as the phone starts to ring you are deafened as the volum is A LOT LOUDER than the music. I have the same problem with WMP as I can set a low volume in system, 3 bars, and 15-40% in WMP or an other program and the music is fine but as soon as the phone rings it absolutely kills!
man if someone solves this they'll make a few insta-friends !
We need a fix.
Many this app will help some, if not all of you !
It's a freeware developed by a member of this forum and it serves the simple purpose of allowing to set "volume steps" and replacing the default volume window. It's brilliant.
Work is still in progress, but it's already a must have at this point

Hi
I was wondering if anyone here is using A2DP for streaming music, and is having problems with the volume?
I'm using PocketTunes with a Sony Ericsson HBH-DS200 headset and I have to ramp the volume all the way to 100% in PT to get it to pump out what I think is a reasonable volume. Anything much below that isn't loud enough to drown out public transport etc, and that's using those in-ear phones that are supposed to isolate at least a bit!
I've disabled the option to limit PocketTunes volume to the system volume so the system volume setting isn't set too low or anything like that.
Weird thing is the phone speaker is nice and loud and if I plug in a wired headset then I can get a comparable volume level at around the 55-60% mark.
I'm beginning to think it might be my headset, which doesn't have a volume control on it... but I thought headsets that did have a volume control just adjusted the volume on the device which wouldn't really make any difference!
All apps seem to be limiting in this way, whether it's WMP or PocketTunes or TCPMP. There are boost options in settings but all that does is distorts my music really, which is rather distracting.
Any advice appreciated! It's hard to tell whether it's the device, the headset or the software. Running WM6.5 and have done some registry tweaking to disable joint-stereo and increase the A2DP BitPool, so the quality's fine - just too soft.
Cheers

I've seen multiple posts here and across the web regarding increasing the volume of the speakers, earpiece and headset volume. The problem is that those who have sensitive hearing often want the opposite and we are in the minority.
Being that the changes require using HEX instead of decimals, I made all the changes to the file and attached it here.
The file attached has all the volume headset levels at 50% their original. I was on a 1hr 35min call with my brother. After that call, I had no headaches, earaches, nothing. My bro was watching Yankees and clapping, yelling in his mic and I had no problems.
Enjoy!!
why wouldn't someone just use the volume buttons to lower their volume? I know that's what I do.
I mean, the plus side to being able to have the volume normal or above is when you are in a crowded place yourself you can hear what the other person is saying right? I just cant see the plus side to having the volume permanently at 50%. Mind you I can see it being a pain in the butt to constantly have to adjust the volume down. Actually now that I think about it when you are in a call and you adjust the volume doesn't it automatically remember the setting you had it at so when the next call you have comes in its the same? It probably resets its self if you restart the phone.
Regardless... for anyone who does want this you have likely just saved them a TON of tinkering so good work!

I understand where you are coming from but I did not lower the volume by 50% for ALL audio output on the device. The way the CSV file is setup, you can increase/decrease volume using hexadecimal values to different audio output ports (earpiece, headset/audiojack, hands-free bluetooth, and speaker). I did not modify the earpiece, hands-free, or speaker. I just decreased the connected headset audio. It seriously was giving me headaches because it was too loud and the volume dial at the lowest was still unbearably loud. I personally don't want to go deaf so I made the revision.
I may do some more tweaking and increase the earpiece and speaker volume as the earpiece is way too low and the speaker could be a little bit louder.
Life is about balance. Sure ice cream tastes great but if you had more than you could eat all the time, you would probably start to hate it.
this is exactly what i was searching for! i use in-ears and they are way to loud when doing a call. thank you!
Any one else having issues when playing music? The volume gets soft/low when seeking through a track, so you have to turn the volume up. Though once a new track begins, it gets very loud. Also it seems the bass gets very soft until a new track. Anyone know of a solution? This is with headphones and/or Aux port.
Edit: Well i found a solution run the stock samsung music player first.
It seems to be 3rd party music players (or maybe just PlayerPro) that had the issues. The Darthstalker rom that had the volume boost which is what made the music volume be very loud or soft. I installed stock volume zip. which solved that, but still the bass was cutting out when seeking through tracks. If you run stock samsung music player first then 3rd party/PlayerPro music app. The bass should be fine.
*On the side note if anyone ever noticed light white noise hiss sounds during quiet periods of a song or at the end. From the searching i did today it seems like its based on the impedance of the headphones. The lower the impedance, the higher chance you'll hear slight hiss sounds.
I unchecked the "disable absolute volume" and the volume will go low on Sony wf1000mx4 after playing for awhile. I restarted the phone and the same thing happen after awhile. Anyone has the same issues?
There's two volume controls
One on the earphones and one from the phone itself
I generally set the right hold as volume up, set volume max on the earphones, then adjust the phone media volume, had the same issue till I figured it out

Thanks, found the issue. It is YouTube music equalizer which is causing the low volume. Turn it off and everything works perfect.
Since we're on the topic I have had a difficult time boosting the absolute volume level on the P6P. Is it not simply a matter of adjusting audio policy? Any ideas? I want my max volume to be 50-100% higher in all areas, ear, speaker, bluetooth
