In HD Tweak, I set Volume Control\Acoustic settings to anything above the 100db limited (Default) - and audio gets boosted accordingly, but the microphone doesn't work and I'm unable to talk to anyone.. anybody have the same issue or any workaround?
I just want to boost the audio levels of the device overall. Btw, I also tried the audio booster within HDtweak and it doesn't seem to do anything. I also tried the audio boost cabs in the HDtweak site and no change.
I applied this tweak also and same thing. It even screwed up my bluetooth headset and i couldn't hear anything. When switching to speaker you only heard slight static. Only time i could hear the caller was the internal speaker but caller couldn't hear me. Had to go back to default for it function normally again. Not sure of any work around yet.
Hmm...I changed mine to "Normal" and had no problems with mic.
Guess I'll have to test further.
Did you happen to apply any other changes prior to HDtweak (such as: SRS WOW, or applying the AudioPara3.csv file floating around)? These may be conflicting with the change.
Nope, I didn't have anything else running or installed. Tried it on both mine and my fiance's TP2, with the same results.
Right now I'm using that tweaked AudioPara3.csv, but I can't really tell a difference if there's a difference, maybe a slight volume increase.

Not 100% sure of what you've done, but suggest you revert everything back to stock (HDtweak all audio related changes to default settings, remove 'audio boost cabs' and the AudioPara3.csv file), and soft-reset.
Test that mic is working properly, then try HDtweak -> only the acoustic settings to "Normal".
Soft-reset and check for mic functionality.
Sorry about that.
I meant previously that I had reset all settings back to stock, and was just running the AudioPara3.csv tweak (which didn't seem to do much or anything at all).
I reverted back to stock again now, and am just running HD Tweak\Acoustic Settings\Normal. I tested the mic with a call and it does indeed work.
I can't really tell if the volume is louder though, I think it is, but it's just hard to compare. I had set it to Maximal before and could definitely tell a huge difference, so I guess that's what I'm aiming for, or at least intermediate, but for now the Normal setting will have to do. Thanks sir.
I have installed & run HDtweak on my TP2. I hear no noticeable audio level increase. I have set all volume tweaks to max. Is a reset needed to "apply" the tweaks?
I have downloaded and tried the audiopara3 full & light boost and it made my device to where I couldn't hear the other caller at all. But it did make the ringtone louder.
I un-installed and know its back to normal.
I am having the same problem with HD tweak.
The mic goes off each time i increase the volume in HD tweak.
Still waiting for a solution and searching daily for a descent tweak, (Pro2 tweak maybe)?
Sorry to bump this old thread, but I was wondering if this HDTweak problem was ever solved?
The only way I can get my unbranded TP2's music players (WMP, Audiomanager, Coreplayer and Pocket Player) working at a comparable volume to my iPod Touch is by using HDTweak's volume tweaks, but I can't hear anything when making calls through my handset or speakerphone.
I've already tried multiple extusb adaptors and various headphones, and the sound is still considerably more muffled and not as loud as my iPod Touch.
I'd appreciate any help on this. Thanks!
I've noticed that sometimes the max volume of the ringer isn't what is normally the max volume.
I think there is something on the phone that is altering the volume, then when you exit that app, the phone thinks that the lower volume is now the maximum volume.
For example,
I boot the phone and volume is ok.
I run the FM radio, and lower the volume.
I then turn off the radio, and return the phone to max volume.
The max volume is now nowhere near where it used to be, and doesn't go back to normal until I do a reboot of the phone.
I'm not suggesting it is the radio doing this, its just an example, I need to try all my apps to see what might be doing it.
Anyone else experienced this? Maybe its an easy fix, or am doing something wrong myself.
Edited to add:
This is something to do with the radio. Phone on max volume, plugged in the headphones and launched the radio. Lowered the volume using the rocker. Unplugged the headphones and went back to the home screen. Tried increasing the volume and already as max, but much lower than it was before launching the radio.
I had a similar experience last week, the volume on the notifications was so low I could barely hear it sitting at my desk with the phone in front of me. But I rebooted and never saw the issue again. I do use the radio, so maybe it's related.
i to have knoticed this, ive turned the volume down for something then its also turned the ringtone volume down
I mailed support about it.
Also managed to crash the phone just by maxing out the ringer, plugging in the headphones, then lowering the ringer. The volume adjustment window just stayed on screen and didnt respond to pressing the rocker, even though I could see the sound profile widget changing in the background to vibrate and silent when i reached those points. Removing the headphones didnt do anything, with headphone icon still showing in notifcations bar.
Tried to reboot, but wouldn't even respond to that. Had to remove battery.
I have also experienced this issue. Being one of those who had the DHD from 18th October, I have noticed that the audio volume does indeed get affected when using the FM radio or the HTC Music app. Also Vplayer app caused this issue as well as actually 'crashing' my audio all together - sometimes after using Vplayer I had no audio at all unil I restarted.
I now solely use Car Tunes app for my audio and have had no problems at all. Also using Quick settings with everything turned up to Max I think the audio isnt too bad. Previously I thought there was a serious issue with audio, but Im starting to think it maybe just down to specific apps - I now use CoPilot also and have to turn the volume down as it so loud (in another thread I noted that SatNav was unusable because of not being able to hear anything)
Got a response from HTC, although it reads like a default 'do a hard reset' reply, which I'm not happy about doing.
What the hell is this problem now? Will problems about DHD not end one day?
I've had this problem once.. and come to think of it, it happened when I just got the phone, and I did use fm radio just to play around with it.. not another bug surely?

Also got this issue. Dont even need to lower the volume during radio playing. Just on/off radio and the main volume is "set" low. Quotes because the volume control didnt changed...
Reboot is working but its not the best solution :/
I'm having a similar problem.
Yesterday i putted my volume to zero while i was eating with my mom.
After increased it to max, the sound while typing an sms is very low.
Rebooting doesn't help, all volume settings are set to max, but the sms sound while typing is lower then it was before.
The tricks in this topic also couldn't solve the problem.
Sorry for my bad English
I know of this issue. Dolby/srs has been enabled on your phone. It should disable when you unplug your headphones but for done reason it doesn't always disable. It can be disabled manually but can't for the life of me remember the menu path for this.

i got the same problem today, had to put rockplayer into mute (lowest media volume) but then somehow (after several hours till i noticed) , notifications (sms,emails) went mute too
anyone found a solution to this yet ? cos this is annoying tbh
Why don't you use tasker to automatically set the volume to max after exiting said music applications? Should work as a short term fix anyway.
This issue happened with me as well. I set the volume to max when playing angry birds but noticed it was nowhere near as loud as i remember it being before. Rebooted the phone and fixed. This is a strange issue. I wonder when HTC will roll out a fix.
Hi All,
I had kind of a similar problem, i noticed that the keypad tones was very low and the screen lock 'click' was almost silent. However, sound settings were at Max.
I downloaded Quick Settings from Android Market and found that System Volume was at 2 of 7. I increased this to 7 of 7 and all is ok now.
Maybe this will work for some.

it worked mate. thank you very much
Initially, my nexus's speaker volume and incall volume are both really low even at maximum settings. After browsing around xda, I found people recommending volume+ so I paid $1.62 and got the full version. Speaker volume is loud enough now, although I feel the quality is not very good. I don't use speaker to listen to music so it's not a big problem.
There's also in-call volume setting in volume+. I set it to 90 and strange things happens: When I use skype, in call volume is extremely high, I can almost treat it like I'm on speaker. It feels like the settings are working. However, for regular calls, the in-call volume stays the same, still too low for most cases. I can only hear people in quiet rooms. I barely hear anything on a street. Setting in-call volume to other numbers doesn't change the result. So my result is volume+ is only semi-functional. Any other fix for in call volume?
In call volume is the only api not exposed so it cant be increased. Btw everyone goes for volume+ but equalizer by smart apps is free and i much prefer over volume+.
Anybody has any other ideas? Low call volume is really annoying
Still nobody？ Everyone‘s incall volume is loud enough?
Basically what the guy above just said:

Just did a test:
Removed in call settings
Speaker to +10
Called *611 (bell customer service) let the automated machine start talking..
Click volume down on rocker a few times then clicked volume up a few times and the sound increasef to am acceptable level.
However when i clicked up one to many times it almost mutes volume but the onscreen indicater is at max (found this odd).
Saw this on the thread you gave. I have the same situation. There exists a maximum in-call volume at around 3/4 of the bar. It's enough for regular use but still a bit low
low volume on calls
Still no one comes with a solution, the volume on the gnex is very low on call especially outside...thanks

I have the same problem using ZTE Blade... volume+ didn't work.
I think there solutions, many roms developer put on their changelog things like "in-call volume boosted" then I ask how you did that and no one anwers...
Anyway I did some research and I found on the rom i'm using a file named libaudio.so that says:
Setting in-call volume to %d (available range is 0 to 7)
Guess that for me increasing steps with volume+ only has efect until 7...
Maybe i'm being stupid... can someone with more experience analyse this?
Maybe you all can try this out to verify. My GNex audio , playing music or .. anything really, sounds clipped and terrible at volume levels 15, 14, 13 (15 being the highest) It's worse there and gets better as it goes down. It's like something internally is causing the clipping to occur at the higher levels before it gets sent out to the headphones or the phone's back speaker. I use poweramp and i used it's pre-amp to maximum to get more volume out but still having the phone's media volume set to 11. it sounds good but it's a complete joke that in this day and age, this kind of issue should exist... it's not like audio players with headphones aren't mass produced that work just fine.
Volume+ doesn't do anything to affect this.
Hey gaetawoo.
Use Thema New Kernel Form Franciscofranco. Ist an amazing sound. My nexus sounds like a New phone
Greetings Form germany
sounds like there are a lot of issues with that kernel, specifically with the audio.
I have no issues with this Kernel. Batterylife is very good and the sound is amazing. Why dont you try the kernel. When the kernel is bad you can choose another.
I don't claim to be a pro-audiophile, but I have an exceptional interest in audio world. Try setting your Equalizer to "Classical" and adjust your taste from there. Try it and respond
this isn't an equilizer problem, it isn't a low volume problem, it is a distortion problem. with headphones on, audio is distorted at high volume levels.
My distortion happens at any volume level, to the point where it's 100% un-listenable.
Yeah with AOKP 27 and Franco.kernel I have the exact same issue. Nothing I have tried fixes it so far. Itll probably be fixed in a later franco nightly as it used to work fine for me.
Hi,
i got the Firmware Update from 14.5 today. Is there anywhere a changelog, what is new with this update??
Because after i installed it and the Surface rebooted the icons on Metro UI where smaler than before, so that there where one more icon in each column. After i started some apps and come back to the metro UI the icons where at the "normal" size, it was before the update. So was that only for me?? Should the icons be smaller, or what happend??
The smaller icons looked a bit better
Read http://www.microsoft.com/Surface/en-US/support/performance-and-maintenance/rt-update-history
Thanks, have the icons become smaller??

That's an oddity that happens occasionally, there's been a number of reports of it happening. If you want to have more icons there's a thread floating around here somewhere that has a registry tweak that can do it.
Thanks for the info.
But now i have an other real problem. When Hearing Music quietly the Sound changes all the time between a higher and lower Sound Level. Only when i have it loud enought the Sound has a constand volume. Thats realy annoying. Is there something known?
And it depens on the song i hear. For some Songs i Need to listen with volume louder than 8 for other it Need to be louder than 4 to have a constand volume. But it doesn't matter if it is YouTube app, in browser, or the Music app.
Only when using headphones there is no problem.
I hope you can help me.
I seem to have that problem too. When listening to music through the speakers at low volume it cuts in and out. Mainly near the end of a track. Thought it may be a buffering issue initially as was streaming, but it's the same with local files.
Quite unsatisfactory.
Yes that's exactly my problem. It depens on the song you listen. Is there a fix for that?? Does everybody have this problem??
The only solution I've found is to rock out louder :highfive:
Had the Problem at Volume lvl 14, too. And at an other RT it's the same. for sure The last Update was s**t
I was playing with the audio on mine yesterday, here's my observations:
The audio level is uneven when it's at low volume (it seems to fluctuate maybe 10-15% when it's below around 40 on mine)
I can only tell a minuscule difference between audio at 50% and audio at 100%, whereas audio at 10% is drastically quieter than at 50%
It does seem to be louder, but since it fluctuates so much <40% for me and I prefer to listen to it quieter at night to not disturb others it's largely worthless.
I'm not noticing any of these issues when I use a USB headset.
Edit: After a reboot I no longer notice the audio level fluctuations.
