I just received my HTC Dash. It's been unlocked, and upgraded to HTC WM6. The In-Call volume is horribly low. The Joggr does affect it, but even at it's loudest it's hard to hear in a quiet room. I've searched the forums and made every registry change I could find, but none of which seem to affect the volume on a call. Any suggetions?
The most effective thing you can do is to make sure the Volume Strip is at its maximum level, and then disable it in Settings. If you touch it slightly when enabled during a call, you can turn it down. Best to disable it.
There are registry edits which I did, but once I realized my Volume Strip was disabled at a low volume setting, I put them back to their original values after turning up the Strip.
Once in a call, I jog it up and get the "Earpiece Volume" Screen. It's set to max (indicator bar on screen is full), and it's still entirely too low to hear. The speaker volume and everything seems fine. I just cant get the earpiece increased. Even will the volume you low, I can jog it down, and make it get even lower, it's like the top-end isnt high enough.

I've went through all the settings and back, with no volume change.
Any other suggetions?
Did you restart the phone after making the changes?
I made the changes, adjusted my volume strip to max, and then it was painfully loud so I had to reduce the settings as follows:
CODEC 00
EAC 72
EARPHONE UPLINK 15
RECEIVE UPLINK 19
(I couldn't enter 0's anymore, for some reason!)
Anyway, it's perfect now for me. Don't know what else to tell ya!
Hello,
been searching/investigating this problem for a while and still can't find a solution.
basically, when using the stock wired headset, I find the volume during a phone call far too loud and not loud enough when listening to mp3s / radio.
when in a call, using the volume button does not seem to make any difference.
any suggestions?
thanks in advance
Go to your music tab in Manila/TouchFlo. From the menu you can choose Audio Booster. This could solve your problem with the not loud enough mp3.
For the phone "too loud" problem you can go to the settings tab -> Sound. There you have two volume controls; Ringtone and System. Lowering the system could solve your problem. But lowering using the touch volume button (as your stock headset doesn't has volume controls if i'm right), should lower the sound during a phone call.
You can push the volume buttons on the left side of the phone. Problem with this is it jumps in big increments.
But it'll also change the volume of your ringtones as well. So what you can do is:
Settings tab -> Sound -> Turn "Single Volume" off
Now when pressing the hardware key, you'll see it bring up System & Ring Tabs. So you can control your music volume without changing the ringtone volume

I have the following issue myself:
Regardless how set up (single volume on/OFF, System volume set to 20% or 100%) my in-call volume of voice, once the call has started is extremely LOUD, regardless of who calls and how loud they speak.
This is even more so, if I'm using the wired headset.
Using the side volume buttons during a call do show the volume animation AND the volume bar goes down, but the actual in-call volume doesn't change a bit.
This is maddeningly loud.
Is this how it should be working?
I have stock 6.5 ROM (WWE), no hacks.
Same problem here...
... any solutions?
I have single volume turned off, and regardless if I try to turn down "ring" or "system" volume, the headset stays extremely (uncomfortably) loud...
Cheers,
Jan
Having the same problem. Is there a fix?
Not sure if Volumex fixes it on the TP2, but on my TP1 and HD2 no such problem.
i have the same problem. Volumex doens't fix it.
It's incredible that there is no solution for this stupid problem.

My stock headset has a volume control, I gather yours doesn't have this feature?
no i haven't this features..
however i found the possible solution (it work for me), searching in other topic of this forum.
You mast edit the file audiopara3_TMO.csv (windows folder, it is hidden so you must use an explorer which allows to see the system hidden file like resco explorer).
basically you have in this file these lines:
F0,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL0,0,4000,4000,0,4000,C8,0,2000,0,780,FF9A,2580..
F1,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL1,1,4000,4000,0,4000,1F4,0,2000,0,780,FF9A...
F2,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL2,2,4000,4000,0,4000,5DC,0,2000,0,780,FF9A...
F3,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL3,3,4000,4000,0,4000,1388,FFFF,2000,0....
F4,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL4,4,4000,4000,0,4000,2EE0,FFFF,2000,...
F5,PHONE_HEADSET_VOL5,5,4000,4000,0,4000,61A8,FFFF,2000...
the most important value is the sixth (in hexadecimal) which is the volume value. if you use the volume level on the left side of the phone the volume of the the headset changes according the value reported in this file. I edit these values according to my "ears" ranging between c8(volume=200) and 61A8(volume=25000), and i clearly feel the change in the volume when i use the headset (you need an hex-decimal converter, there are several online)
actually (as suggested in other topic) you must point in the registry editor to this file, creating the value
HKLM\drivers\builtin\wavedev\AcousticFile and set this value to \windows\AudioPara3_TMO.csv (or rename the file as u want but with extention csv)
After editing soft reset.
In this file there are the other volume values for calls without headset, with the bt, and with the carkit. these values are in the lines
F6,PHONE_HANDSFREE_VOL0...
F12,PHONE_EARCUPLE_VOL0...
F18,PHONE_BTHEADSET...
F19,PHONE_CARKIT.
i suppose that to change the volume values on must changes the sixth parameter as in the previous case.
This works for me, and solve the problem.

I know this is probably stating the obvious, but if you press the volume button and you see the volume bar you can always adjust it to your liking by swiping your finger up and down on the volume bar. This way you can get the inbetween volumes between too loud and too low.
Hi,
Running ICS on my rooted my Galaxy S2 Phone successfully and was wondering if there's a value setting I could increase my Earpiece volume, nothing too extreme as I don't want to damage my earpiece, but just a slight increase would be great.
And yes I have tried volume up..
The reason is, I work in a busy environment and have tried Bluetooth devices, but rather prefer a earpiece volume increase..
Also what can I find the Jpeg Compression setting, I have looked in Root/System/ build.prop with my Root Explorer, but can't seem to see any Jpeg settings?
Thanks...

Program voodoo control will set your volume up.
Drivespinners,
It won't let me download it from Google Play, it says my SGS2 is incompatible with this app..
I'm running the ICS on my rooted SGS2..
Unless I can download it from somewhere else, then I could install it via the SD Card..
It sounds (excuse the pun) just what I'm after with a Sound boost and Mic
If I can't get this, any suggestions on a modify setting in my rooted phone..
I've looked in the build.prop, but can't see any audio settings?
Thanks..
On gingerbread, I used to use dialpad code *#*#197328640#*#* to access the audio menu and manually changed the sound.
Now, on ICS, the code doesn't seem to let me modify any audio settings
Is there some way to control Notification volume? It is insanely high and there seems to be no option to control it. Usually it is linked to other volume setting, but lowering any of the three volume sliders doesn't seem to take any effect.

Hey,
Are you running a custom Rom? I had the same issue with freedom os at first, then i found out that Dolby Atmos was running, switched it off, all good.
Peace

What notification tone are you using? I noticed that some that i had saved from zedge etc.. depending on their frequency are VERY loud. while others arent. I have recently started using the OOS default tones rather than download ones simply because of this.
eg: The tone "HTC Single Beep" (Zedge) is excruciatingly loud. The frequency is just right to send a ring thru your rears.

I'm on OP defaults so far, got the device two days ago and didn't change anything.
Facebook notification for example is really loud. As is everything else.

I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one experiencing this!
I don't think it's a bug or something, just the minimum notification volume being too high.
I'm on stock 3.2.4 too (unlocked BL, no root) and it affects all the ringtones (both calls and notifications), not only some. EG default OP sound, Facebook, Outlook, etc.

It surely is a bug. Normally it should be linked to another volume setting (Ringer I think), which is also really stupid, but working. This seems like the notification volume is set to really high value and not linked to anything, which makes it impossible to control.

Mmh, ok, I thought that minimum volumes were just extremely high, never raised notif.volume higher than minvalue... Will check it!

If it is possible to make the notification even higher... That would be bad. The windows in my office would shatter.
still no solution for this?basic fail.
I have the same problem et no solution with the Oxygen OS i think.
For me the most annoying thing about this phone is that the minimum volume is too loud. I use the phone at night and I need low volume. For now I use equalizer apps... I've tried lot of them but they are unreliable and I can't leave them always on because they also decrease the maximum volume and during the day I can barely hear the speaker.
On my previous phones I used to edit some values in the mixer_paths.xml file, located in etc/ folder.
The problem is that the moto Z2 play does not have any mixer_paths.xml file at all and I don't know where to look for.
If that was bothering me that much, I would change ringtone, some aren't as loud as others. Just an idea; I have that issue also.
Or make one with lower volume, set at night time.

It's not about ringtones, it's about youtube/media. Meanwhile, I've found mixer_paths.xml file, it was in vendor/etc/, now I have to understand which value I have to edit
Gotcha, I didn't realize the issue. Glad you figured it out.
Someone has it edited mixer_paths¿originalmz2f_.xml
