I've had a O2 XDA Orbit for about 3 months now without any problems, but it seems to devloped a strange fautl today.
This morning (around 7am) the alarm went off as usual, but come about 10 when I tried to make a phone call the call was placed but I could not hear the other person (and she could not hear me). I checked out the phone and noticed that both volume sliders where set to off, changing them and I still could not get any sound out of the device.
In Settings Sounds & Notifications when I press the play button theres no sound, and trying the built in sound/video/midi results in no sound.
Oddly when someone calls, I changed the ring tone to an mp3 wich will play, but again I cant hear the caller, or they hear me.
I've done a soft reboot, with no help, before I tired a hard reset I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas?
I'm having exactly the same problem. If anyone has any advice regarding this I'd be greatly apperciated!
I have FUZE and the ringing volume (any notification) is terrible. I increased the in call volume and have been googling for an hour looking for the registry keys to increase alarm, sms, phone ringer, etc. and can't find them. Can anyone help? I can't even hear my phone if it is the other side of the room.
pls change bell , or take it out and check with battery of 1.5v, if it does not work, pls change.

paste over your old file. See if it helps.
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?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
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.
Sent from my Desire HD by magic.
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.

Hello！It's me！
Here r some questions for my T-mo G2 followed:
1 I feel my device's voice is so low that I always miss some in-callings. And I have try to adjust the volume by the system. But it doesn't give me the satisfactory effection. So, is there any good app for the voice volume for the in-calling?
2 Just like know to all,when the phone is dialing, the radiation is the most dangerous. So,how can the device vibrate when the calling is hanged?
HOW CAN I DO?
THANKS A LOT!

sorry, your english isn't great but what i think i see is:
you want the volume louder when you are actually talking to someone on the phone
you want the phone to vibrate when the call is done? (not so sure on what exactly this one was supposed to mean.
the first one i don't have much of an answer for other than you may not be holding the phone properly, this phone took me a few days to figure out how to hold it and hear the person on the phone. try moving the phone a bit when you are on it and see if that helps at all.
and the second question might be solved by root and flashing CM6.1, there is an option in the settings to make the phone vibrate when the call is connected, hung up, at the 45 second mark of each minute, and loads of other options.
Yes,my English is very poor！ I'm sorry for that！
Thank you for your reply,especially the 2nd answer！
But my first question means when the device has a incoming calls, its ringtones are so low that I always miss calls. So, how can I do?
Thank U again！
CM6.1 also has an app called DSP manager that you can use to adjust the equalizer settings, bu i don't really think that will increase the overall volume of the phone. you can try it out but i honestly don't think there is a fix for low volume at this point
I'm on OOS 11 (India). Sometimes the phone doesn't ring for incoming calls, and I see the missed calls only when I wake up the screen. Same on stock and custom kernels. The calls are coming in, so it isn't a network or telephony issue. Only the call alert is silent. Before anyone asks, this happens even with the alert slider in the "ring" position, and I have selected a loud ringtone.
Anyone else having this? Is there a solution?
I don't know if this will help but in oos 11 if you accidentally press volume up and power button the phone goes on silent. I know I used to have a similar problem when phone used to randomly be on silent and didn't know why until I figured out the combo. Not sure if it's a feature or a bug as it does not indicate anywhere that is on silent and you have to move the slider to get out of it

Thanks. But the phone is not on silent when this happens. For some time it just doesn't ring for any call. Then suddenly it's behaving normally again. I haven't been able to discover a pattern.
