Hi all,
Is there a registry tweak to increase the volume of the built-in speaker. I find that when the phone ringer is set to max volume I still find it quiet and often do not hear the phone ring.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I read somewhere that if you go to REG EDIT/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/CONTROL PANEL//SOUND CATAGORIES/RING......then to the setting "INITVOL"....then change the DWORD data to higher than it is (mine sits at 5...I jacked it to 15). Then soft-reset, and SUPPOSEDLY this makes the ring louder. There is also a setting right under this for "speaker", which was at 8 when I got mine...it is also now at 15.
Now, I honestly don't know how high this can be pushed, nor if it ACTUALLY does make it louder. I can say that i hear it fine...but man, if it does change it, it seems to change it very little...at least with the settings i use. I can also say it doesn't seem to have hurt anything. I asked around on the forums, and no one seems to have a better ansewer, nor can tell me if this is correct and just how high it can go. Hope this helps.
I seem to have the same problem any advice?
Volume
Reg tweaks is the answer...be careful tho....don't blow your speaker....you won't hear anything then
Thanks for the replies guys.

Hi I was wondering if anyone new how to increase the ring volume on the Tilt. I did a couple of extensive searches and all of them came up for either older phones or different phone models. Also, I read somewhere that each HTC registry differs in some manner.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction to this fix.
I would also be interested in louder speaker phone volume too.
Thank you in advance.
get into your registry...HKEY_CURRENT_USER/control panel/sound catagories/ring. Here you will find2 setting at the bottom..."InitVol" ans "Speaker". Open these both, and change the "value" number higher than what you show. I have both set to 15...initvol was at 5, speaker was at 8 when I first got it. I also opened up the "alarm" file at the top of the tree and made sure that speaker value was set to 15 as well.
Now...I can hear it fine, but the dif. is pretty small. I read about this edit, but never heard back from the guy that posted it. I can't say for sure this is any kind of pro-approved method, as I am quite new to this phone/system myself. I had been hacking Motorolas till I got this a few weeks ago. I have no idea how high that value can be safely pushed, and by the looks of the device..the speaker is pretty small and weak anyway. Hope this helps..be careful..lol. Blow that lil speaker and you won't be hearing a thang!

Do a search for TCPMP. It is a media player. On the options>settings>select page> equalizer tab. check the "enabled" box and then "slowly" slide the "Pre-amp" slider to the right... trust me it will play louder!!!
So that volume tweak above is for ringer volume, what about external speaker volume (e.g. play music or hands free)?
What about the internal speaker volume for hearing the person on the other end of the phone?
I'm another newbie who'd like to know how to get to the registry...HKEY_CURRENT_USER/control panel/sound catagories/ring. after I already installed PHM RegEdit.
Thank you.

Thanks works like a charm i have a tilt with 6.1
I have known about these reg hacks for quite some time but they never work for me
i checked my dec values with this new ROM and my intvol was set at 0 and my speaker was at 1. i put them both to 5, the sound actually got lower but then higher, and lower then higher. weird
set both to 15..don't really notice a difference..
It's not that bad in Kaiser though. I used to have Eten M600 which was worse in many aspects of sounds volume, esp. loudspeaker. What we did was to replace the ril_gsm.dll with a patched one plus some reg hacks.
So maybe in this case if the reg hacks simply don't work or keep reverting back to its original value, then there's more to do than just registry. Just my 2.01 cents.
does anyone know how to increase the sound for incoming message?
please advise and thanks for the share
i would like to know how to increase the overall volume of my 8925. the ringtone, speakerfone, and in call volume. does anyonee know what registry edits i can make to boost the volume?
dv8r942 said:
I put this up a couple times..this is what I read, as the speaker was the first complaint I had (not that I had many). Reg Edit/H_KEY_CURRENT_USER/CONTROL PANEL/SOUNDCATAGORIES/RING.....
Now there are 2 settings to be changed, according to the post I read, the author of which has not replied back to any of my inquiries..."Initvol" and "speaker". Hold each until you have the menu option to edit (or dub-clik and open them) you will see the numeric value, which can be easily changed. When I got my unit, Init was at 5, speaker was at 8. I jacked them both to 15. There is an increase, and poking around, I found that you can do the same for the "speaker" value in different areas (alarm, music..)
The dif is pretty slight, AND I also took all my tones and hiked the volume up to near-distortion levels...which also helped. You aint going to get "quality" tunage from this thing, I just need to hear it...lol. Now..what I do NOT know is just how high that setting can be jacked before it does damage. Nor have i been advised that there is some other, more appropriate way to pump it up. The speaker is small, weak, and on the back, so only so much can be done. What I DO know is this method has not caused any damage..and I am hearing it just fine now. Hope this helps.

Thank him!
i tried this but its still about only 70% as loud as my 8525
bump to the top
So E..how high did you go? I noticed you compared it to another phone, one I am not familiar with, and what I can add for ya is that the volume issue on THIS unit is the same for the other 2 phones I just purchased...those being a Blackjack 2 (only cuz ATT bought out my old provider and it was cheep...lol) AND...dun-dun-dun.....the nokia E90 (which, unfortunately WASN'T cheep).
I rigged up an old motorola V710 (remember THOSE days??!!) with a bunch of games and songs for my 7yr old daughter...and MAN...that little dinosaur was hurting my ears, WITHOUT any mods!! Point is...these fancy-schmancy units obviously need to sacrifice something to cram so much functionality into such a small package (guys, feel free to use this line on your significant other...if applicable). I don't use headphones, and I don't need these things as "music players", so I dont really mind too much...but we DO need to hear the damn things...lol.
How high did you set it?
Oh..and Unk, allow me to thank you for thanking me
well DV8
i set everything to 15 but the init volume keeps on resetting to 5 i dont know why. and also does the attenuation have anything to do with the volume?
Hi there,
Does enyone know if it's possible to increase the overall volume of the ringtone and sms sounds...? (some kind of tweak mabye) I've got it on max but often I must really on the vibration to notice a sms or call. I often only hear the sound very soft.
Thanks..
ps i've the system volume only on 3 bar's orso, but that shouldn't effect the ringvolume should it??
I too have this issue, sound is pretty quiet to be honest. The answer i got was not helpful, basically said live with it.
yup, it isnt any where near as loud as my K-JAM (Wizard) was, but then my K-JAM was no where near as loud as my Ericsson P900 was, etc etc...
the speaker phone is an absolute joke, unless you are in a sound controlled ultra quiet room.
it seems that with every new phone and the speakers get worse rather than better.
I also find the diamond to be too quiet. I am a truck driver who drives refrigerated wagons. When parked on a bay I use my phone to watch films or listen to podcasts. But with the sound of the fridge I cannot hear anything. My old tytn 2 was spot on for sound. Any reg hacks or third party programs to boost sound? I have looked without any luck. I may have to find a mini usb speaker.
Use a player with pre-amp; for example, CorePlayer.
coreplayer`s volume doesn`t have any effect to windows sounds.
he asked for sms and speach cenversation loudness.
There is a registry hack Swiftblade uses. It's been posted in his ROM thread in the ROM section. That should do the trick
Edit: here's the link to the thread. You'll have to find the right posting yourself, though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408109
ok found it
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAIN]
"EAC_GAIN_EMBEDDED"=dword:77
but when i look at my registry there is no ...\AUDIOGAIN why ??
i think you have to create a entry
no change, still quiet
I am annoyed by the low ringtone and text message alert volume, too. I'm using the bElite 0.95 ROM and I tried adding that entry to the registry. It did not change anything.
Well if the registry key isn't there I would assume the HTC audiogain application isn't installed, so there's nothing to read that value. Hence making any changes futile.
My advise: try finding the cab for that app, or try with another (perhaps stock) rom
Hi, is there a way to increase the ring volume of the HD7? My wife has her volume set to 10, and when it rings in her purse she can barely hear it. I've tried downloading the HTC app with the "increase volume when in purse" setting but this seems not to help at all. In fact, even at 10 all the sound on this phone is quite low, for example the Netflix app can only be heard in a dead quiet room. For comparison, ithe "10" setting on her HD7 seems to be about the same as "2" on my Dash 3G... All help appreciated. Thank you,

But yes, it seems the speaker is quite low. I think some people think it's a software fault, and it will be fixed in the update. I don't know personally, mine seems loud enough

You keep saying she has it set on 10 when I can set mine to 30? Maybe that's why her 10 seems like a 2 to you?
On the lock screen, up volume up. You should see the volume indicator in the top left. Crank it to 30. Should be plenty loud.
when you are talking on the phone the volume only goes up to 10. however, when you are at the homescreen you can put the volume up to 30.
"In-Call" volume controls the volume of the ear-piece speaker located in the grill at the top of the phone, and yes it will only go up to 10.
The volume which goes up to 30 which you can adjust whilst on the home screen controls the external Speaker located on the back of the phone (which is used for ringtones, etc.)
They are 2 completely seperate speakers so in turn have their own volume controls.
Speakers are great for music or gaming but in call volume is quiet. both the speaker phone and the earpiece volume are too quiet for my liking. Is there any way to make them louder?
im also searching for solution...incall volume is so low
Really nothing? Earpiece and speaker phone call volume is so quiet when listening to Media or gaming it has the loudest most robust speakers of anything I've ever used. Is there a build.prop file I can change?
Mixer_paths! It's that. But which one? Somebody help!
So here's the fix-
Edit your build.prop file line "ro.audio.vibra.ring.vol.idx=5" I changed mine to 8 and reset.
Either the test call I made to my wife was wonky and really loud or volume is greatly increased. Actually had to turn volume down.

Have you made any more test calls, 1 isn't really conclusive
Also, I'm assuming this survives a reboot, correct?
Cheers
Yeah sorry didn't reply back definitely isn't the fix. Not sure why none of the developers here haven't chimed in on this. Fantastic speakers but they're so limited specifically for phone calls. Wtf.
has anyone found a fix for this? call volume is very low.
NOTE: speakers work fine in playing music, videos and playing games.
I have the same issue and I have been checking this thread from time to time to see if anyone had posted a possible fix for this. I hope someone knows how to fix this low call volume.
