hai im new here,
is it just me or it seems that the x1 sound quality differs when using different roms. i mean the speakers.
not sure how to explain this but last time i use the touch-x rom the x1 sound quality improves a lot, alot less hissing sound compared to stock rom. now im using energy rom and before this i use xperiod on my x1 the sound quality is the same with stock, the quality is bad~~~ no im not talking about the volume, i mean the sound quality.
ah, try running the android 2.0.1 posted by sanjayecb and listen to the sound quality... its really good.(compared to stock/energy/other rom) its same quality with the touch-x rom i mentioned
is there a CAB that i can installed to achieve that?
if this is already been discussed you can just lead me to the related thread, i really appreciate it.
thanks.
p.s. sorry if my english is bad
i see that noone gave a response but i'm new to the forum and i have the same problem i just boutgh a seccond hand xperia x1 with a custom rom wm 6.1 but flashed the energy rom today the latest version i think.. (i'm new to this) and the sound quallity is bad really bad like there is no bass when i'm using headphones. on the last rom the bass would blow my head off.
I've noticed as well that sound quality does change with ROMs - even volume levels change. With the Christian ROMs I found the volume was quite loud for headphones, but sound quality was good. With the 826x series, I think I've noticed a bit more noise, but not while listening to music, simply after button press sounds. With CM6.1 Android, the volume levels are perfect for headphones, and the sound quality is improved as well.
I imagine it depends on the driver implementation for the ROM.
Well this topic has been talked about a zillion times, yes it depends on what roms for sound quality. There is also a cab that increases sound both headphones and speaker very well. I've had my phone for one 1 year 7 months and been using this cab after every new rom install it's called "optxperiabeta02" search it, if you can't find it pm me I have a copy .
Have been using the default WM 6.1 for like 3 weeks, since I bought it (used).
The sound through speakers is terrible, but haven't tried to mod anything, since I use a headset when listening to music and it sounds pretty good.

I've tried to find something in forum but with no luck.
After some weeks of use, my Kaisers started to have a bad audio quality with external speaker, even with ringtones.
I had the original Italian Rom but, also with Dutty's 06, it's the same.
Always distorted audio.
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!
Have you been your device with the volume controls maxed out?
If so, it may be a bad sign. Kaiser's speaker is cheap, and maybe it tears out easily. From the moment I tried to listen to music with it, I could notice lots of cracks and buzz.
But it may be only a defective speaker of yours. Lowing the volume helps ?
ARGH!
mmm
maybe yes
but I've never used the device like an ipod
just only as a phone with the ringtones...
if the speaker is dead, where can I get one new?
:'(
thx in advance
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
I received my O2 Ignito (their version of the Diamond) yesterday and am generally impressed, even with the stock ROM. However, despite hearing that the speaker volume was a little low I wasn't prepared for how bad mine is. I have upgraded from a Moto V3i and the lowest setting on the Moto is louder and clearer that the highest setting on the Ignito. When I listen closely as I adjust the volume using the keys on the side the sound is distorted at all levels and the 80% level is louder than the 100%, which seems to clip.
Are they all this bad or do some lucky ones have well-performing speakers with decent volume and a clean sound?
Well, my speaker is working just perfect. Clear sound, and i usally use it at 40-60%. Otherwise its too loud for me. But thats subjective. I know there are some sound comparison videos on Youtube. Maybe u check them out to see if you have a bad speaker.
IMO, the Diamond's speaker system is its weakest point. It has about the worst audio quality that I have encountered with any phone. My Diamond comes with 1.93 ROM and I have used the Schaps Adv Config tweaks. Sound level is still low and quality remains awful. Maybe I am missing something?
My speaker is low too. It also distorts slightly. I wouldn't say it bothers me though...
my speaker is low too .. actually as low as the Se w880i ... sincerly i cant use the speaker, i miss that from my touch
Same for me - speaker to low. All patches I've applied have not changed anything on the internal-speaker volume.
4 out of 5 replies to say the speaker volume is too low. Not looking good. Are we all deaf or are those that are happy with their speaker not bothering to reply? There are plenty of people that are happy with their Diamond so is that despite the poor speaker volume in most cases?
It seems to me that in developing an all-singing, all-dancing handset HTC have forgotten that it is also a phone and you can't answer the phone if you can't hear it ring
I have to say my ringtone volume is quite loud and mp3 playback is also quite loud,the only problem i have with the sound is the lack of bass and a little bit of distortion on the highest volume setting.
Same here - I am happy with the speaker/ringtone volume - distortion on the highest level is a problem.
My complaint would be the loud speaker during a call. It's almost non-existent and not useable - at all.
I also find the loudspeaker a little quite, but after the mod I read here about putting a small bit of clear tape over the speaker and put the back cover back on, it made big improvement to the sound quality and for me was a little louder
Indigo speaker level
I have had my Indigo from o2 for just over a couple of weeks, overall ringtone volume is ok, & volume during a call also exceptable although not as loud as my previous XDA Orbit. When on hands free the volume level is low, when used hands free in car callers are hardly audible, i have tomtom 6 installed and the volume level from the speaker then is fantastic, i can even lower it from the highest level, this suggests to be that there must be a registry tweak that can be applied as the speaker can produce a good volume level with third party software. Does anyone know of an edit to increase the speaker volume level when in hands free mode?
o2 XDA INDIGO
Rom 1.93.206.3WWE 8/7/08
Radio 1.00.25.05
Protocol 52.29.25.12H
Third party sofware ontop of o2 standard fare;
Tomtom6
Advanced config Manager
Total Commander ce
Stopwatch
Ariel battery
1-Calc Lite
Well, _all_ phones will produce distortion at highest level, the companies don´t care. They want it that way... High volume, lowprice speakers.
The ringtone/message alert volumes are fine and quite loud but on the MP3 player its very low, which is a disappointment as I dont want to always have to use headphones to listen to songs.
I do find the speaker poor.
I often don't hear the SMS alert, and it's not easy to listen to a call in a noisy place. My previous XDA Orbit was much better.
Is there a "fix", or do we just live with it?
There is a fix somewhere on here.

You should possibly check to see if your Audio Booster settings is switched on (you will find this in the Programs menu). Please note that your headset will be needed when trying to enable or disable the Equalizer. When disabled the sound is vastly improved.

quality is just poor. volume is low but ok IMHO
Take a look at this:

I have the U.S. version of Diamond and I find the earpiece speaker to be very good. I've had quite a few phones to compare to. External speaker is a different story though.
Just got one of these diamonds, unlocked it, put dutty's rom on it etc. Now i have been using an orbit for the past year or so and obviously got used to the speaker sound which was loud and quite punchy.
But i find the speaker on the diamond very bright and tinny sounding. It seems like it needs to go louder as well, i know there are some modified audiopara3 files to up the sound level.
I've been trying tomtom today and because the female voice is bright anyway it sounds very bright indeed now. Also was getting lockups while navigating home today, may have to flash the 08 radio rom later.
I did compare my diamond to another one at work and it sounded exactly the same, so i know it's not my diamond at fault as such.
Just wondered why i don't see anyone else comment about this ?
Ta.....
Ofcourse we all commented mate.
Check this bro, this may help you to make your speaker gets louder.

I recommend you install the lighter boost cab.
yeh thanks i did just get that lighter boost one, so i have a bit more volume now, but tomtom is obviously still very tinny etc.
thanks anyway for the link.
HI,
I read some comments regarding sound quality of NC. It seems that some guys who use CM7 complained about bad sound quality. Is this true??? I am now using the booted 1.1 version and find that sound quality is average but at least not bad. Compare to my another android cellphone Moto Defy, the sound quality of NC is poor.
Is there a way that can improve sound quality of NC?
Is the sound quality of CM7 really worse than the stock version???

Sound quality or volume? I hear about people complaining about the volume, but not quality. How's the quality with earphones? Is it just the speaker?
I always use my NC in a case when I'm watching a movie or playing music, as it GREATLY amplifies the volume. Quality I haven't noticed an issue with, but never really done any critical listening, always just background music.

Earphone is better than speaker.....regarding the speaker....I think the only way I can hear the sound from the speaker is to stay at home...
I am always listening music when I am reading via NC. I am not satisfied with the sound quality compared to my another android cellphone. So I think about a way to improve sound quality. I want to play lossless audio music like APE & FLAC on the NC but I dont know how.........
On cm7 u can use dsp manager, it can improve quality by a great extent( use speaker volume to adjust headphones volume too).
If it's volume of the NC that you're concerned about, use volume+ app from http://androidaudiohacks.com/home/volume-gingerbread
But if you mean the quality, then I'm equally clueless about what to do.
