Quite a few of my audiobooks are waay too quiet at the maximum, is there any way to fix it without rooting it? (I have never rooted anything before, also its new and I think I hear it would void the warranty or something)
Thanks guys!

I brought the Desire and when I play music on the player the volume is very low!!! I installed couple of volume applications but made no difference...
Thank you,
The volume is set low, but it seems that it can be increased if you are prepared to flash your phone with the generic HTC firmware rather than one from T-Mobile (or whatever your provider might be).
There is a thread already on this subject, but as a new user I can't post links to it!

If thats the case then its probably the stupid EU law on volumes on MP3 / Mobiles
Hopefully... To stop little tits on the bus listening to their crap songs and annoying people.
JAmes.
the volume on the Desire through headphones is very low - if anyone knows of an easy way to change this, hopefully without any drastic measures like reflashing away from the stock rom please share your knowledge!
for me (a desire unlocked owner) I consider the mp3 volume through speaker louder, however when I try to speak with someone and put caller voice through speaker, it is too slow.. and I can't raise anymore
The recent ROM update (1.21.110.4 for branded users, 1.21.405.2 for generic) increases the volume according to a couple of people here on the foums, so I suggest you try that.
I myself have not experienced low media volume both pre and post rooting.
Custom ROMS have the audio mod but that's mainly to improve audio clarity. Media has always been high and clear for me.
I had the same problem, but I solved it by taking a pin and putting it through each of the little holes in the ear piece part. Now my calls are at a very good volume, I guess that these had clogged up with debris from general use.
volume is ok
Where in the rom is the settings for earpiece volume? I find in a call too quiet and want to increase it a bit. And before anyone asks yes it is turned up full when in a call lol
Want this too

are you on a T-mobile ROM?
If so, reflash with the HTC vanilla one. It fixes this.

Can you explain in a bit more detail please.
Im using richards rom........if i flash a vanilla rom does that downgrade me to 1.6
No it puts you at stock 2.1 Htc Sense.
So whats the change in vanilla from richards so we can all add this hack to our own roms to increase volume??
i think the hack/mod is the no echo mod. i believe it turns down the volume so the person on the other end of the call can't hear the speaker? i've never had an echo problem so i don't use that version and i have relatively no problems hearing the other person (and my hearing is horrible). so maybe try flashing a non no-echo mod update. or you might have to reflash .9b full first then the uvoc (if you use that), depends on if the uvoc non-echo has the audio mod files in it or not
I think it has more todo with the way people damage their ears.
Personally my volume bar is on the first notch from lowest, one press lower its zero and I can hear everything fine.
My housemate playing with my phone in turn puts the volume to max and is still complaining its too low ...
It is hard to understand what someone else hears, but I can not understand that the distorted sound comming out of the earplugs at max volume can be too soft for someone to hear properly. Maybe if you don't clean your ears at all I dont know :s
The sound from the earplugs at max volume during a conversation is still audibe to me. So another question arises, do you want others to hear your converstation? Or do I just have sensitive ears?
not sure of reason

I noticed it with the headphone out level. I plug into a stereo in the kitchen sometimes and the level was way below line-level. There's something in the T-Mobile ROM that's done this, whether deliberate or not I don't know. The vanilla official HTC one doesn't do this, and has normal output level.
I've had my DHD since they came out last November and I've had no real issues with it in all that time. However, I've now got a hugely annoying issue with sound where all sound, ringtones, music etc, comes through distorted at max volume where before it was clear. The obvious suggestion is to turn the volume down but even two steps down from max. volume it still happens depending on the sound coming from the speaker. I don't know how else to describe it except perhaps tearing and that doesn't sound very accurate to what is happening.
I don't remember when this first started happening but I'm pretty sure it was a few months ago and I was using a Sense based ROM at the time. The issue got so bad that instead of playing distorted sound in Sense it would just cut out and all sound would stop for what seemed like two or three minutes. Switching to CM7 has prevented it cutting out but the distortion is still there so I don't think it's related to a specific ROM unless it's a volume boost that was done over all ROM builds. As anyone who owns a DHD will know the audio has always been a little on the quiet sound but the level I have the volume at now is below what I'm comfortable with.
Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to fix this audio issue? It's almost to the point now where I'm thinking of going back to stock and sending it in for repairs. Don't make me do that.. you know it's not a fun process.
I'm only replying to this in case anyone has similar issues so they can see my resolution. Unfortunately it's gotten worse, to the point that I lost all sound on all ROMs bar a few squeaks from the speaker. The in-call speaker worked fine and I could make calls with no issue but no notifications, alerts, alarms etc would sound on the external speaker.
I flashed back to stock Gingerbread and I've sent my phone off to HTC, via T-Mobile UK, to be repaired. I'm also hoping they fix the misaligned camera issue too. I'm a little worried because despite trying I could not get S-ON back before I took it in but it's using stock bootloader and an HTC RUU ROM. Anyway, I'm basically saying that it's a bad sign and will have to go in for repairs. Hopefully this will save anyone from wondering in the future if they get the same sort of issue.
I'm having the same problem.. I think.. if you are talking about the speaker that you make the phonecalls with.. not the "external" speaker.. that works fine..
it has a crackling sound with mine.
Sounds like the external speaker is busted. You already send it to repair, probably that's the only solutions.
Hi!
The volume of the speaker is much to loud, compared with my old Z. I am speaking from media sounds (like music in games), ringtones are ok. Of course i put the volume down to the minimum, but that's still to loud. Xloud is turned off.
Any idea how to get the volume down? XZ1C with unlocked bootloader, root, Advanced stock kernel and .142.
Thanks!

Mine is actually doing good for me. Maybe, you're not yet use to it. And you're used with what you had.

Used to it... I don't think that's the problem, with my Z I could play a game at bed without disturbing my wife, with the Z1C that's not possible cause it's much louder than the Z was .
My phone seems to have a low volume for all sounds. Any roms or other hacks can boost my in call volume? I have full S-off and can load anything. I have been roaming around and can't find anything that specifically talks about boosting the in call volume. Mine is really low and the speakerphone and even playing music with the speakers is also pretty weak.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
You can try to edit the values in the mixer path xml file (use a file explorer with root access). I haven't tried it with the M8, but I think it should work. You can do an XDA search, for general instructions on various device (don't know if you will find a guide or thread about doing this specifically on the M8).
Make a backup of the original xml file, and there certainly wouldn't be any harm in trying (somewhat obvious, take care not to harm your hearing or the device by using excessive volume levels).
Also, if you it's just the speakers/earpiece that have low volume (for instance the volume levels on headphones is okay), you may look into cleaning the speakers of any debris. Some folks have had a significant increase in speaker volume from doing this. There is a thread on it, somewhere in this M8 forum.
I suffered from low overall volume too and was about to do what redpoint73 said, but I did sone some snooping around the forum to find the said thread and found this https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/sound-to-normal-t3559052
I did what post #6 said and the difference was like day and night. I highly recommend it as you might have dirty speaker grills like me.
