[Q] For bootanimations that include sound - what controls the volume? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

I believe system volume. Try quick settings app to adjust it.

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.

Ring volume too low..

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.

volume control for the boot/startup sounds?

Any chance I can turn down the volume for my boot sound?

Sure. Download my rom. Startup/shutdown sounds are at 0.
EDIT: You could aways swap out your sounds for quieter versions as well, if you really like the sprint sounds.
Or u can just change system volume to 0, and leave notif, media, and ringer volumes up

[Q] Volume control at startup

HTC TP2 GSM Energy ROM
When my phone starts the volume is real low, I can hardly hear the startup sound. When the phone has finished booting I get regular volume control as normal.
How do I change my startup volume?

....EnergyROMs have a startup sound?
Download the BootupHTC.wav in this post. (It's in the HD2 EnergyROM thread.)
Follow the instructions on how to replace the BootUpHTC file in \Windows.
Report back what happens...
It was the volume level of the installed wav file. Thanks. The file I copied over was much louder!

You're welcome.
I honestly didn't know the EnergyROMs had a startup sound. I've used them since September '09 (starting with my TP2), and I never recalled hearing a startup sound!

Adjust ringtone and message volume

Hi all,
Is there possible to adjust the ringtone and message volume separately?
I tried adjust the volume and it seem they are together. This make me a big problem because if I put max, my ringtone is acceptable but message volume is damn LOUD. If adjust lower, ringtone is soft and message is acceptable.
Please help me :crying:
You can edit ringtone sound to make it louder using sound editor. Or make message sound quieter

[Q] Minimum volume too loud. Any way to lower it?

The lowest possible volume setting (before silent of course) on the M9 speaker is too loud for me. Is there any way to lower it further? Is there a specific file that controls the volume that I could modify?

Yeah, I already have it on Music mode. Still way too loud.
There must be a config file that has the sound levels in it that we can edit, no?
I just looked at Dragon-fi Audio, thanks. It seems like that has many more modifications that what I'm looking for. I just need a way to lower the sound level of the minimum volume.
you can edit a file called something with mixer_path.xml . but i forgot which exactly it was.. but yea Dragon-fi is really nice and awesome and really helps with static noise on m9...also anything else is much more improved *_*
