Bass problem on headphone. - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hello, I have a problem since a few days on my french Diamond.
When I listen to music, watch movies, and things that have sounds, through the headphone, I don't have the basses. It's extremly horrible to listen to.
I can only hear the high-pitched sounds. But when I listen to the radio, the sound is normal.
It was normal before, when I bought the phone, and when I hard reseted the phone, but after some time, the sound became horrible to listen to.
Does anyone have this problem???
Any one has a solution???
If I upgrade my ROM to a new official ROM, will it fix???
Thx

i would look around the media settings for an equalizer

If I upgrade my ROM to a new official ROM, will it fix???

Yes, that is a known problem. Don't worry, update to the new ROM like me.
RUU_Diamond_HTC_FRA_1.93.406.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship

I was having the same problem.
I found that if i went into the audio booster and checked the tick box and then changed the volume using the side buttons it came good again for some reason.
not sure if the check box had to be checked or unchecked but it did come good again after a couple of goes.
I've just upgraded my rom so hopefully this won't be a problem anymore for me.

Sound Problem

Recently got a touch diamond and I love the device save for one issue.
I've synced music to the phone and it seems to be going over fine. I just have NO BASS in any song. I tried the original headphones and thought those were just crappy so i went out bought a USB to 3.5 adapter and tried it with bose/technics/shure headphones and still nothing!!
I've looked at the audio enhancer tool on the phone and nothing in there makes a difference. Wondering if anyone else has been having this problem or even knows of a solution to it.
Thanks

I've had this identical problem.
It worked fine for the first day of use, then I charged overnight, added some more music in the morning, and that was it - no bass.
This is serious because I want to use it as my main music player. If I can't get it sorted it's going to have to go back.
Mine got the same problem as well....
I've found using A2DP, even with the same headphone could get some improvement. But the sound is still far from GOOD.
Still remember few years ago there could be tweaks to enhance the DSP thread efficiency...or priority....can't remember now....any expert could give us some hints??
The solution in my case:
Connect the headset - Turn Off the "Audio Booster" (or if it's off right now, turn on and OFF) - Press "Done"(!!!) - Disconnect the headset - Reconnect again - Start the Music Player - You have BASS. If you'd like to use the audio booster you can already turn on that.
It's a little bit weird, but maybe a ROM update solve it.

This solution with this order of events has worked for me. Thanks!
JointStereo: set to "0" in registry.

Whats the path to get to this ? and what exactly does this tweak do. Thnaks bud.
Sorry SecureGSM....JointStereo set to "0" was to do with A2DP problem....not our case.....thanks anyway
Tried vax6's solution....also works for me...thanks vax6
Notes to other users: make sure you press DONE not x or <- to turn off AudioBooster.....I know...vax6 said that, I just didn't pay attention
guys, thank you really very much, i was getting crazy with this problem
solved with xax6 solution
Strange, but it works.....plug in, done, plug out! Thanks for the solution!!

No sound and endless vibration?

Hey I have a Diamond on TRL ROM 2, but I just flashed it to try and get rid of a problem I was having with the stock ROM, however it's still there.
After a certain time (not sure how long because I realize it after), the sound for my phone stops, this includes my ringtone, sms alert and even when I try to play music. I miss all my calls and text unless I have vibrate on. Then, when I get a text message it starts to vibrate non-stop and I have to turn off my phone.
When I soft reset it or turn it off and on, it works fine again but only for a certain time.
Does anyone know what's causing this, if it's a setting or ANYTHING, please help!!!
Mine has nothing to do with my bluetooth by the way.
I have this problem too, but my diamond only stops ringing; I see that this problem occours when I disconnect my jabra headset after playing audio manager thru bluetooth.
Anyone knows how to fix it?
Thanks.
little up, still having this problem, today I've lost two calls...
Any help is very appreciate, thank you.
HTC say to make sure your ringtone is on the main ROM - not the extended area (memory card).
If for any reason the card becomes unavailable (ie a blip or USB connection to PC etc) then the phone temporarily loses its path to the ring tone until a soft reset or similar...
It will either endlessly vibrate if set to vibrate & ring or be silent if set to ring only.
Happened to me a few times.
But not had it since I copied my ringtone to the main memory.
Just a thought... Ignore if your ringtone if it is already on the main ROM.
I'm going to try that and let you know, hopefully you are right!
Thanks for the tip
my ringtone is set to oldphone2, so I think that's in ROM...?
Yeah actually well I don't got my diamond to try it right now, but doesn't it copy the ringtone to the ROM folder if you set it from internal memory.
Plus not only does it not ring, doesn't play mp3s, and even if you pick up the call you can't hear incoming sound and caller can't hear you neither.
So that can't be it, but thanks for trying!
Yes, I spoke too soon as have had this again.
It loses all sound until reset.
I've now experienced this on the original and Bepe's ROM - it must be a fault in HTC's software or configuration as I've not had it on other 6.1 devices.
I'm sure HTC are working on it...
have you installed srs wow hd? ive had this issue with the old version of this software...
Hi, no i got this almost the first day (soem weeks ago), before I had installed anything. I'm running Bepe's ROM with just PocketPlayer and got it again...

I don't think I have that problem installed, are you saying it may be what's causing the problem?
Or it may fix it, if so
Could you give me a link for download, or info on how I can get that installed on my device?
Thanks
Yes hopefully HTC fixes this really really soon with an update!

simply install the 1.21 cab then soft reset. works for me!
let me know...
I have the same problem. Here it's the MediaPlayer I think.
Still no sound at all
I tried everything you guys said here. And still, no sound at all on my Diamond. I put also the Elite 2.0 thinking that if i put another ROM the Sound will appear. But no. I am realy stucked.
What the "#ยค#" should I do to make the sound to work?????
mate your gonna have to return your unit to service centre or place of purchase. I had the same problem, and there are others on this forum that have posted for help about this matter.
I had same issue with you losing all sound intermittently, unit would non stop vibrate when alarm sounded. Hoped it would be a software issue since soft reset fixed it temporarily. My phone has now been away for 3 weeks, still waiting for it to come back
I've got the same problems.
I found one temporary solution, and that's to copy a .WAV or .MIDI ringtone to my documents\my ringtones and set that as your ringtone, or other notifications.
It seems that the problem is with .wma files, at least with my device...

Hey I installed, and yeah the problem still remains, I think this is just to improve sound, I have NO sound...
I can't believe HTC haven't given us something to fix this yet, because with no sound this phone is useless and after spending $700 that's really frustrating.

Thanks, I think you might be on to something, since the media player default music (sample) are wma, and others have being saying it's the media player.
I'll give this a try later today and let you know, thanks!
Edit: How about using mp3s as well? Or should I just do wav?

I' m not sure, but I guess all but .wma is ok.
I use midi's btw, because there is an annoying delay with .wav
no sound at all
In my case, I took the advice of #15. For me it was easy since I just got the phone so my provider changed the phone imedately.
With the new device I put the Hard SPL OliNex 1.40 and then the TRL 2.0 ROM. And happily the device works well.
I installed the SRS WOW 1.2 which made my music playback to delay between actions. So I unistalled and this delay between actions (Play, Seek, Pause, etc) dissapeared.

Standard Headset Issue

Hi there
I'm having something of a weird problem. I was playing around with my MDA Compact IV (might i add: this housing looks much slicker then the standard), and i pulled out the headset while listening to music in the standard TouchFLO mediaplayer. When i put the headset back in the audio-quality became really crappy, as if i was calling to someone who's holding up a radio on his side of the line. This also now affects Windows Media Player, but not the FM Radio. Has anybody else had this issue?
Today I used my MDA Compact IV for the first time as a mp3 player, with the standard (crappy) headphones.
I've noticed that the sound is SH!T.
No bass at all, tried the 'audio-booster' option, but the sound doesn't get better.
Than I tried the FM-modus, and noticed that the radio sound was better.
Not verry good, but BETTER....
HOW comes? Are the standard headphones crap? Is the 'soundprocessor' crap, or what?
At this moment it's not usable as a good mp3 player...
And what about the volume? At max, it's still not really loud.
EDIT: Strange.... unplugged/plugged the headphones again, tried it in windows mediaplayer (first I tried it in the touchflow audio player) and now it sounds better, also more/deeper bass, in both player.
But still: The sound is absolutely nothing compared to a good Ipod. Is this due to the crappy headphone (thought that the mda compact IV headphone isn't the same as the touch diamond one...)
Well thing is, using the Audio Booster i had the audio to pretty decent quality, nice and warm with enough bass. So then i yanked out the headset and now it's ****ty... What gives?
crappy sound quality resolved
hi guys,
i got this problem a couple of times, and it was really annoying as i knew it wasnt right cos listening to music was the first thing i did with my diamond and i was amazed by the sound quality, but i had exactly the same issue a few days later, tried to listen to music and audio quality was so poor it hurt my ears! so i did a hard reset and the sound quality was perfect again. then a few days later it happened again. i have narrowed it down to installing 'advanced config'. both times the issue came about was after i had installed advanced config. i havnt installed since and my sound has been perfect for ages. i have installed games and other apps and still fine, so for me, im damn sure its advanced config that did it, hope this helps, just do a hard reset and it will be fine again, just keep an eye on what happens after you install something!
Okay, found the answer:
There is a BUG in the AUDIO-BOOSTER.
Try:
Plug in your headphone, choose MUSIC in TFL3D, go to menu-audio-booster, turn it on, listen to the music, unplug the headphone while music is playing. Plug it in again and you here that all the bass is gone and quality is crap.
Stop music, disable the Audio-Booster option, play your music again and the sound quality is good again!
So DON'T use the AUDIO-BOOSTER, cause everytime you unplug your headphones, the music becomes crap again!
Wow thanks, that really helped d'you suppose HTC will bring out a fix for this?
Another solution
Hi everyone,
You're right, there is a bug with the bass sound on the Diamond.
After some experiences, i found this way to solve the problem:
1- Plug de headphones (original)
2- Open de Radio Fm application and after hearing some sound, close it.
3- Goto the music tab and play the MP3 (with equalizer on).
4- Change de volume.
After this steps normally there is bass again.
By the way, does anyone know if the use of other headphones (not the original) improves the quality of Diamond's sound (Hi frequencies) ?
I want to buy an usb adapter for "normal" jack headphones but I don't have idea whether it is worth.
Regards
i found that bluetooth headsets are not affected by this problem, whenever i had this problem, if i used a A2DP headset, it was not affected by the loss of bass or any quality at all, just the USB headset was affected

Sound with headphones in gone bad

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.

[Q] Darky Captivate Sound Issues..

Up until this point, I haven't had any issues with my phone, sound or otherwise.
Once I upgraded to Darky's 9.1, I could no longer hear my "touch" acknowledgments or media sounds.. I.E. Youtube videos have no sound at all.. UNLESS, I plug in headphones.. Then for some reason all of the sounds want to work.. through the phone speaker. Odd right?
No other roms seem to give me issues, and even going down to 8.X solves this.. I'm assuming it has to do with something in Darky's (Obviously..) and, more than likely Voodoo. Is anyone else having any problems like this? Should I maybe try to disable Voodoo and see what happens?
Basic Rundown..
Ringtones play, notifications go off, yet, when I try to watch videos or stream ringtones through ringtone apps, I have no audio, UNLESS I plug in headphones; However that makes the sound come out of the headphones + phone speaker.
Stuck.
Anybody?

I had this issue, although my Captivate had sound working for a short time, but while selecting a ringtone or notification tone it cut out. A reboot fixed it once, after that it still won't work. I noticed that the sound DID work the volume was super low. I had to hold the speaker directly on my ear to hear anything. I've just done a master clear, and Odin 1-Click, reflashed 9.3 and I'm about to do the CWM "part 2" again. This time I'm going to try a different kernel. I'll let you know if it works. If not, I'll have to jump to a different ROM. I was using Speedmod selected from Darky's ROM Manager if that makes any difference.
Ditto. Just flashed Darky's 10.1 and I'm having the exact same issues minus the headphones (which I have yet to test out).
when it comes to speaker sound darky rom sucks big time till date.rest of it rocks like a rockstar.
