Is the Audio booster issue fixed with the builds after build 35 ?
The issue is that my music plays without bass when using headphones or connected to my car audio system.
When turning off Audio booster, start playing music and then turn on Audio booster again, my bass returns.
This is really annoying to repeat these steps each time because I use the mp3 player functionality a lot.
sound issue
I think it's a general problem with the sound, once you go into screen saver, then stop the music, then go back to it, the sound levels have no base on it's quite annoying. The way to get around it, take the headphones out, turn on the device, reselect the music, put in the headphones and play.
I wonder what is causing the music to be so distorted. I'm on the latest wwe build
How did HTC manage to release such a buggy phone?
In the past all of my HTC devices have been great but this Diamond has me appalled.
It crashes, gets very slow suddenly for no reason, gets uncomfortable warm to hold, attracts fingerprints like crazy, has an unusable media player and now we have to do some stupid sequence of headphone unplugging and tickbox unticking every time we want to play some music!
This is the official relase, not some grey import with an unfinshed ROM...
Plleeeaaase someone work out how to get the old style Audio Manager working on the Diamond... Won't fix the bass problem, but at least I'll be able to access my music how I want to...
Same problem for on my phone, with rom 1.37
I though it was a headset issue, until I read this thread.
Veeery annoying bug
I've got it too noticed today. When the base went I thought the headset socket was at fault as if I moved the plug just slightly the audio would cut out completely.
However, I turned Audio Booster off, restarted and turned Audio Booster back on and all is well - even wiggling the cable so it's not a hardware fault there.
However as soon as I plugged into my PC by Disk Drive mode and went to listen to music after - it was back again.
Certain little things are really starting to rub the shine away but I do love the phone overall.
i'm sorry i have wrote this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402845
but i think now is the same problem..
how can i delete new thread??
thanks

I have this issue now for the first time and tried your fix. But still i have a lot of treble and the bass is gone.. Can you make a better step by step description?
Already found out:
How to create the bug:
- Play your music on your headphone
- Turn on Audio Booster
- Plug off your headphone and continue on your speaker
- Plug in your headphone again and your bass is gone.
How to fix?
- Stop your music
- Turn of audiobooster, and save the settings, not close! (so your headphone have to be connected)
- Start your music again and your bass is back!
- You cán use Audio Booster again now, but i won't!

Just download SRS Wow 1.21, it is miles better than Audio Booster, you dont get any of those problems and it will make the music sound better than it will on any other portable device... yes, it really is that good!

not working with my diamond
Me neither, I installed it but can't find how to launch the program, even with a soft reset and the registry modification
Edit: The program is in (settings) -> (system), but doesn't work: "There's no WOW HD driver loaded" and exits
Is there still no resolution for the Problem? This Bug makes the device almost unusable for me

Not working on my Diamond either, but I didn't try to edit the registry. Because I'm not able to edit it.... Tried PHMRegEdit.msi but I'm only able to read the registry on the phone, not able to edit. Any suggestions?
You could try CorePlayer. Full equalizer AND preamp....
Music sounds awesome. Really does.
But it doesnt fix the problem at hand. For example, when using the RCE100 headset, the FF/RW/PLAY etc only controls the built in HTC player, and not CorePlayer (or SRS WOW, etc)
It really really sux that HTC have not fixed this yet. I giess we are just waiting for the worldwide release of the diamond to complete (so that the whole world will get pissed off) and then HTC can concentrate on fixing the bloody device!!! I still love it though....
omg...
i thought the headset was crappy.. but i rmbed the first day.. when the sound quality was good and the next day it suddenly lost the bass..
so i tot i gave yer method a try..
switched off the audioboosetr after pausing the music
and walla..
its bassy and clear..
to think i paid a sum for his buggy phone... i love the diamond.. but probably the last phone from htc i ever gonna get...
Why does actually DISABLING the audiobooster help here? How screwed up can this probably rather simple piece of software be?
Geez I wish I had a stock HTC Diamond instead of my O2 so I could bug their customer support sufficiently with this issue.
Is there a way to get rid of the audio enhancing feature completely? After all it seems that earphone-audio is way better without it anyway?
Of course there is. By default the Audio Booster is switched off. It's a 3rd party app and not something that is actually built in to the HTC Player. Get a decent set of headphones and music will sound really good without it. The actual music playing abilities of the hardware (software aside) are really good and for someone who is a music junkie, I'm happy.
I am happy too. Juste have a look at the price of my headphone (westone UM2) and you'll understand that when I say HTC + AudioBooster + good headphone = best MP3 player sound quality i have never had (compared to sucky Apple's sound which is as the external speaker if i compared)!

well, i have the UE11 pro and i wouldn't use the diamond as my mp3 player, it still doesn't sound decent to me, but i agree, much better then iphone anyway.
ok i did try the srs wow.... not working on my diamond... and after uninstalling.... not ableanymore to activate the audio booster of HTC... (clicking on the flag just do nothing)...frack !!!
only hard reset will do ?
Dear Bros,
Find that HTC Diamond volume really soft...somtime even it ring also can't hear..listen mp3 also having a hard time..Is there any way to solve this issue??
Any programme or solution that can enhance the sound n vol quality?? Hope bros here can advise me. Thank u so much.
I agree compared to the S730 (my previous phone) the Diamond is about 1/2 the volume of the Wing at the Diamonds max setting
Download "Mp3 Gain" software and set your ringtones gain to "100". Now your phone will ring like big disco.
it can cause the quality to get bad though but for ringtones
the little speaker killed quality anyway

If it's just audio via the headphones check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410722&page=2 for a workaround for the audiobooster disabling itself every time you unplug headphones (and then not letting you re-enable it).
For the speaker volume, I think there are other threads in the forum, but I'm not sure if the protections put in place by default are safe to disable - aren't they there to make suer your small speakers are not damaged?
Hey guys,
walking home yesterday was listening to music with audio booster and all was great, bass was fine.
Later on in the day, tried and didn't want to work at all. It played fine but no bass, really terrible sound.
Using the HTC headphones that came with the phone. Is there any way to reset the settings back to normal as I MAY of changed something without realising.
Cheers
No-one got any clues on this? I've searched High and low and isntalled the paravolume thing but nothing's helping this..
Really tinny sound now, with and without the standard headphones (i've also tried high quality in-ear ones that should be good but just arent).
Cheers
Hard reset?
Hard reset the phone, and it's fixed!
Any idea what settings MAY of changed this? Audio booster was enabled, and disabled etc and no change what-so-ever (aprt from a bit less tinny sound nothing major)
Cheers!
probably just a bug ^^
I've got the same problem now. Probably some app is causing this, because after I changed ROM (so it's like HR) the problem is still there. Sound is fine on speaker and through BT stereo headphones. Anybody else had or has such problem?
I also have this problem (O2 Diamond 1.37.401). Few day ago everything was ok, but now, sound is full of distorsion and no bass in present at all, Bass booster made no help. Maybe Advanced Configuration Tool made some mess, becouse it has setting for default volume, and bass, treble level? Are you using this tool also?
I find the solution. Audio booster have a bug.
Plug your earphones, run Booster, disable it and close.
Now unplug and plug phones again back, run booster and enable it.
That worked for me.

Hello, greetingz to all. I recently purchased used Xperia, and it worked well untill few days ago, when i start to have problems with microphone (in phone). The sound reception is very poor and people i talk to can barely hear me or not hearing me at all. I tried all and nothing works, except when i connect headset in vibration-only mode. Then the reception of the sound from the headset microphone perfect. But not when the sounds on the phone are on, or in any other case. I also tried does it record sound on video or audio for MMS - same thing, just crackling noise.
I would appreciate if anybody could help with this. Thanks in advance.
P.S. I did hard reset, i did reinstall software from SE Update (even i had most recent one), nothing happened.
Same problem here!
But i can use the headset when the sound is on.
Im afraid i lose my phone for a while, again. I had software problems before.
I think i will burn a good rom when it's back.
in settings->system->Microphone AGC
turned on ?
AGC == automatic gain control which mean the mic adjust it's sensitivity according to the volume of the surroundings
Rudegar,
i wish i read your tip before i brought it to the shop
but i think it would be standard because i also tried a hard reset?
there is also a crack in my xperia, so i sent it anyway
greets, robbin
Hi guys!
So, as most of you probably know, Sony BTN-200 became available several weeks ago. This headset features support of latest Bluetooth profiles and NFC Easy Connect.
Yesterday, I received it from Amazon. So far, so good. Although I have found couple minuses:
1. It only pairs with one device (in difference from MW600, which was able to pair with 2 mobiles and computer)
2. While connected to my XPERIA T the volume is very low even on maximum level.
So, with first I can deal, no problem. But the second problem is quite dissatisfying, I've tried several sound enhancements, nothing.
Any ideas?
And if any of you also have bought it, please share your experience.
Hi,
I have read in a different post,
That after trying to make a screenshot the volume suddenly became louder!
I still have to try this my self as I have the same problem with my bluetooth headset.
It is just not loud enough to be listening in the subway...
Never had the problem using same headset and HTC desire Z
I ll try it tonight
Cheers
Tony
I have to bump this thread up.
I've recently bought this headset and I have exactly the same problem as described in the first post. The volume is way too quiet but after making a screenshot it becomes much louder... this is really strange as the headset itself works perfectly with calls etc. I'm a little bit unsatisfied with the audio quality but still the volume problem is the biggest one as I don't want to make a screenshot every time it's too low...
