Tf3d: Control Music volume separately

I'd like to set the music audio lower than my system volume on the tf3d audio player. (I think I'm one of those few who listen to music while going to sleep and I can't get system volume quiet enough to not be annoying).
I've tried Shaps Advanced configuration tool to toggle the music player volume but it must be designed for the old HTC home because I can't tell any difference even after dropping from 100 to 5 and rebooting.
Any ideas? Is there already a knowledge base on this? If so, please point me there as I've done every search I can think of.
Thanks in advance.

you can use windows media player instead.

Yeah. But WMP is much less user-friendly and it doesn't integrate seamlessly with TF3D. If I knew alternatives to TF3D that integrated a good music player on a vga device I would switch. But so far everything I've tried including SBP Shell don't seem to do that well.
Thanks for the suggestion.

TF3D volume too high
Long time after the creation of tis post ...
but I'm experimenting the same issue!
When my volume slider is on the minimum (actually one step above zero), the music volume is still too loud for me.
Has anyone found an issue to that?
Thank's

It's been a long time since I used the Fuze. But as I remember, you could go to the settings in one of the far-right tabs of Touch Flo (if using a customized ROM) and manually change the volume. But it only stayed that way until the next time you changed it. I eventually just bought a set of headphones with their own independent volume slider so I could adjust it that way. It was a clumsy solution and one reason I left Windows Os behind for good. We'll see about their improvements with W7, but I'm skeptical until I see they can get it right.
Hope that helps!

I have the same problem. Minimum volume on my HTC Touch Pro 2 is far too loud when I am in a quiet ambiance.
I would be very interested in a solution.
It is a pity that there are "amplificators" available but obviously no system that could help us protecting our ears !

yeah, I have the same problem, but Nitrogen player looks even more finger friendly and stable, it do not ruin my music library, so everything is just the way it was in my now dead iriver Clix

SRS WOW - Comparisons for HTC Raphael AT&T

Friends,
I am a very big fan of SRS on the Raphael and I tell you the application plugin is pain to get working. As everyone has written before my post, it either works or it doesn't on their device. There are a few versions out there floating around and it does require a lot of trial and error in order to get the sound wanted from the plugin.
Now, before I start I have been through three Raphael phones due to hardware problems that I had to send back for RMA replacement. I am now on my fourth phone and hope it stays that way for a long time!
On two of the raphael phones, I was not recieving the full punch of SRS wow with the extra bass, compression, surround sound etc.. But on the other two same identical phones I had no problems with the full sound. At the present, if I listen to a song - doesn't matter the song I hear the bass thumping into my chest.. Sometimes, it can be annoying and other times the balence that srs brings out between all instruments is amazing. This is where SRS does a beautiful job bringing out the extra heavey bass without muffling the other sounds. If you think your srs is working but doesn't deliever the bass thumping in your chest as I describe for your mp3 playback phone, then it's truely not working...
I have included my screen shots, registry edits and the different device information for you to plow through and compare. Now, remember this is for the AT&T Raphael pocket pc phone.
Steps
1. Install SRS_WOW_HD 121.CAB and reboot the ppc
2. Install WOWHD_ARM_Panel.cpl - copy this file directly to \windows folder. It might take a few seconds to copy.
3. Change the registry entries before going into the app.
4. Goto: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev]
5. Change "Flags"=dword:00010000 to "Flags"=dword:00010002 (Note: Energy Rom 3.0 I had to add the Flag Value)
6. Launch SRS WOW from the settings and use the screen shot I supplied. I like the heavey bass thumping sound, so these are my settings.
SRS Software Versions
I could not get the other software versions to work with the raphael phone. So for SRS to work 121 is the only one that works. Don't waste your time trying the others....just use 121
Now, how do you figure out if your Raphael phone will produce the sound with SRS WOW as I mentioned above? That is a good question because it definitely comes down to the electronics in the device that HTC puts into the device. Should SRS WOW work on all devices "YES" but as I expressed earlier, it does not. I have already been through four phones and two worked and two didn't. (Same settings, reg edits, radio, spl etc). So there is something between the devices that delivers better performance with SRS.
Stats Information on PPC
Rom Version Tested in ROMeOS or Energy 3.0 (no problems)
Radio Version: RUU_1.02.25.32 (AT&T Stock Radio)
Music Players Tested: S2P, Touchflo Music Player (no problems)
IMEI - first ten digits I noticed a trend between phones. "15" works and "12" does not. I verified this with the other two phones and the one that did work also had a "15"..
3531420212 SRS doesn't work (Old Phone)
3531420215 SRS works (New Phone)
SPL
RAPH110
SPL-1.90.Olinex
MicroP-Raph (LED) v13
MicroP-Raph (Key) v5
PSOC-Raph Stage_CVT v0x36
R: 1.02.25.32
G: 52.39c.25.22
D: 1.9xromeos (RomeOS) or Energy Rom 3.0
Mac Address
I also noticed that the two phones that SRS wow did work on the mac addresses were close and similar, the other two were different.
I would honestly for those really interested in having SRS on their phone for the Raphael users, definitely use ROMeOS rom and radio I listed.
It will take some trial and error deffinitely. But in the meantime, the application SRS wow has to be handled with kid gloves in order to real deliver the sound.
Also, take note and back everything up before making changes to your ppc.
Please note that I am not the person who originally figured out how to change the registry values. Not too sure who the author was, so I can't make that claim only pass on to others what helped me.
Good luck and hope you enjoy.

Hi tvos,
You mentioned "6. Launch SRS WOW from the settings and use the screen shot I supplied. I like the heavey bass thumping sound, so these are my settings." The screen shots you have uploaded does not show any settings specific to SRS .
TIA

what do you mean? they are there..
tvos

Good job tvos,
Thanks for adding the screen shots.

Does this make the htc audio manager stop working, I thought I read in a post somewhere that it does...thanks TVOS

the plugin for SRS does not work with audio manager. I tested srs working in S2P and other third party apps and it works fine.. something with htc audio manager or srs just don't like each other..
tvos

Thanks!
Seems to work very well on mine...with IMEI 0202 (early build). I am also using NATF's ROM with the .28 radio.
EDIT: After installing the app, the phone goes to sleep and never wakes up -- have had to soft reset each time. I have since uninstalled and all is back to normal.

thats good... its really hard to say why SRS works on some devices and others it does not. i know from experience that srs didn't work well with the two that I had to return but the other worked fine and delivered BIG bass sound..
thak you for your contribution.

SRS over A2DP
I have this working on my Fuze (SRS 1.2.10.0 from the MONX cab, including the CPL) and it truly rocks my brain playing with S2P.
I really love it!
If you are having issues with yours, here is the CAB I use. I am also including the REG file with the settings I use. Give those a whirl.
(Monx, if this is somehow not kosher, please let me know and I'll remove it, post-haste. All credit for this CAB should go to MONX)

Well, ensure you don't have SRS WoW already installed (uninstall and sr if you do)
Install CAB
extract REG file in ZIP, copy to phone, and import (using whatever registry editor you prefer - DotFred's works a treat)
open the new WoW SRS applet in Settings, and then close. (don't change anything)
Connect your headphones (BT or cabled, no matter)
fire up your favorite player
hit PLAY boogie to the very satisfying sound form your headphones
Have fun!

Hi is this configured to work in TouchFlo music tab and also change the volume? The other cab I used wouldnt allow me to change the volume and would also stop working after a call was received or made.
Thanks!

No clue, my friend. I don't use the music tab. It has worked flawlessly with WMP, PocketPlayer, and S2P, though.

i got it to work but the settings don't last when i use my bt headset. i have to open s2p & play a song, then minimize it, open up srs wow then choose internal headphones, then it would change to my desired setting.
it doesn't happen with wired headphones though.

Thanks!
Works great on my Sprint Touch Pro running JD ROM v2.15, OP's CAB worked, Yom's CAB did not (gave me a driver not loaded error in the control panel applet, even after a soft reset).
You should update the instructions to indicate that the .cpl file should be copied to the \Windows folder, and can be accessed by going to Start->Settings->System tab.
Edit: I changed the Flags registry value back to my device's previous value (0). I'm fairly sure the new value was causing an issue where if I put my device in standby with the power button I couldn't wake it up, forcing me to perform a soft reset.

You should update the instructions to indicate that the .cpl file should be copied to the \Windows folder, and can be accessed by going to Start->Settings->System tab.
are you talking about the separate file that is copied to the windows folder after the intial install?
i have added that already..
thanx.

I have SRS WOW working in the TF3d music player tab, with working volume buttons.
Here's how I did it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485732
However, if there is a simple .cab that would be better --- but I couldn't find such a .cab.

Thanks for the update.. Does the music player work after calls are made/received? I had to soft reset to get the tunes back on.

Maybe someone had the same problem than me...
I installed SRS, and it works great with S2P... But after install, i can't hear anyone when i received a phone call...
I MUST hard reset to hear my phonecall !
Is there any solution ?

I'm not sure why but, I've got this working just fine with HTC's Audio Manager. I've got a (relatively) new HTC Fuze (AT&T) purchased off Craigslist with Audio Manager installed from a seperate cab located in the Raphael forum.
Rockin' big-time through my Plantronics 590A BT headphones. Looking forward to kicking some tunes through my portable "stereo" (old set of PC speakers & Sub) that I connect to using my Motorola BT receiver.

¿FIX? Notification sounds halt/stop/pauses all other audio playback via headset

I'm pretty sure I've looked and searched all of the Xperia threads for a solution to this issue I'm having with my X1i.
Here's my problem: If I'm playing music (using WMP or the Media Panel) with the headset plugged in and a new SMS, MMS, e-Mail, Reminder, or ANY type of WM notification pops up, the track is halted/stoped/paused/or interrupted for a brief second to prioritize and play the notification sound and then resumes the audio playback. I've looked at all the sound settings to see if there was a new option (headset options) to prevent this from happening but have had no luck...
My only guess is that it has to do with the headset drivers or the notify settings in the registry.
The only solution I've had to work with so far is to un-check the Play Sound box for all the notification options available in Sounds & Notifications and check the Display message, Flash light, and Vibrate options to let me know when I get a new message.
I want to be able to have my notifications "Play Sound" when I get a a new notice OVER any playing audio (overlapping) through the headphones. When the headphones aren't plugged in (and the audio is playing from the speaker) notification sounds overlap (without stopping/halting the audio).
If anything, I'd prefer to have the notify sound play out only from the speaker and not through the headphones, as long as it doesn't interrupt the Mp3 playback.

I think this is fault of WinMo....

i don't doubt that it may be a WinMo issue, but the beauty of WinMo is the ability to edit and correct those little things...I'm hoping maybe one of the developers and ROM creating geniuses can help with either instructions of where to go in the registry to fix this or maybe even create little cab file that'll do the trick
I've tried 2 different ROMS in hopes of having that issue resolved....

I think it's an issue that winmo can't handle two seperate audio streams at once, so it stops one to start the other, but I may be wrong..

I don't think so since multiple apps will sound together (e.g. S2P & Core player). Make a backup and play around w/ the following:
HKCU/ControlPanel/Notification/AlertInterrupt (try 0 and 255)
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\Priority256 w/ lower value

Things i like to see on the TD2

Hello,
I really like my TD2 and TF3D but i'm missing some things..
I hope someone can make this or maybe it already exists..
- In the contacts tab you have at the right side the alphabet were you can select a letter to search contact, I'm wondering this is possible in the music tab, because when i want to listen to a song that starts with the " w " i need to scroll down allot and that takes some time..
- Scrolling with the zoombar, i have seen a topic about this but there wasn't a working solution
- When you're listening to music with the earplugs you can still use the volume buttons when the devices screen is turned off. It would be really helpful to go to the next song with the " hang up " button and go to the previous song with the " start call " button. Is this possible??
- Open a program by holding the start and/or back button. This does work by holding the " start call " button and the " hang up " button. But not with the start and go back button.
- I can't change my SMS receive sound in a .wav file of 4.21kb. Any solution for this? maybe some config change program
- No top curtain at the home menu, I tried some .cabs that would remove it but this didn't work, there was jus't a white bar. and there was also a white bar in the other tabs.
Thanks and Regards, Bas

Already found and tried that but it doesn't work...

To scroll really quickly through your entire list of music, try using Windows Media Player instead of the TF3D music tab. Just switch off the tab in Settings and the phone will use WMP instead. It's much, much faster than TF3D and displays your album art face on instead of skewed to one side.
As far as skipping tracks is concerned, WMP allows you to assign whatever keys you like to whatever functions you want. Personally I use stereo bluetooth headphones which have built in volume, start/pause and track skip controls.

This bluetooth adapter is what I use myself. Without changing any settings on my TD2 it works perfectly, and it can change volume up / down and change track. Sound quality is far better than what I was expecting, with no hissing or crackling. And cheap as chips.

How to set mp3 as ringtone

you could put the mp3 in a "Ringtones" folder, then pick the file from sound in settings.

With ringdroid i can only set it as a notification,can't use it as ringtone.
And tried to copy the file to the Music folder and media/audio folder but i can't see it in my settings

Default music player does let you set the ring tone-
Just "long press" on the track and the option appears:

Is the Smartwatch any good?

Good question, I won my smart watch in a phones4u comp, I thinks it's great but not sure I would feel that way if I paid full Price.
If you set the clock display to always on the battery won't last a day. I have it set to come on when double tapping the screen. Not so handy if your struggling with the shopping!
Other than that it's pretty impressive, being able to quickly glance at notifications saves taking the phone out of your pocket constantly and mp3 control, whilst basic, is a nice touch.
It does however have a detrimental effect on your phones battery and keeps disconnecting from the Z (worked perfect on the S) maybe the next update will sort it.

It does not have a speaker so no good as a hands free, You can answer and reject calls but only any real use if your use a blue tooth headset- or as I do a blue tooth car stereo.

To set one of mp3s as a ringtone you don't need to download anything extra. Just go to the sound setting and on the top right hand side of the screen press the Music Symbol and then you'll have access to all your music on your pone.

Revert back to default ringtones folder
GO TO->Settings->Apps->all->Tap on THREE dots & reset apps preferences.
