Well, we found Audio Booster, which is a system-wide equalizer. (See thread below, with link)
But we can't get it to work.
Can someone play with this and figure out what registry (?) settings to change to get it to "stick"? would be much appreciated!

This was the original post:
While we love this beast, it still has a pretty tinny sound from its speakers. Coming from a Samsung i730 with stereo speakers and SRS sound-enchancement, the Kaiser is kind of lame.
Anyone have ideas about system-wide equalizer or how to get a SRS-like software that can boost the sound quality?
bump? I saw the HTC Equalizer, but that is only if you have headphones plugged in. Any system wide equalizer to make the sound richer?
Yeah, I've been searching for something like that too. Kaiser's speaker have too much treble. There are some mp3, which are live or acoustic, that have some background noise, but nothing too perceptible.. I tried playing them, and Kaiser actually boosted the noise.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344533 post 1---- also if you go to google and type in xda-developers.com audio booster it was the 5th site
I installed this HTC Audio Booster but it doesn't seem to be working. Settings just won't stick, as you say. Also, Audio Manager gets really ugly ..
Same here, settings in Audio Booster dont seem to change anything (on Tilt)...is there a fix for this?
If the problem is related to ringtones, I just found a pretty easy way :
Opened the ringtone in a decent audio editor, and maximize volume level.
Now, it's hearable even from its pouch
Like everyone else, Audio Booster SEEMS to be the ticket, but can't turn in on (can't check "Equalizer")
Anyone know who on the forum could take a look at this and see if there is an easy tweak to make it work?

The problem is not the volume.. it's the equalization of the sound.. Kaiser's speaker have too much treble, it distorces the sound. At least when I try to hear a song, there's so much treble that it makes a choppy ugly noise. It's bass needs a boost.. or at least lower the treble so we can have it equalized. It's also a pain when you're talking to someone with a thin voice like my girlfriend.
I changed the title of this thread with the hopes that someone can figure this out. I am kind of surprised that so few are frustrated with the sound of the speakers.
I am interested too for making HTC Audio Booster and equalizer working!!!!
I have read somewhere that there is a missing dll file, but noone seems to know which one. Hopefully this helps in figuring this out! Thanks. Waiting patiently!
thank you

thank you finally some people agree!!!!!!!!!!! Im coming from a wizard and am dissappointed. I've posted the skin solution in another thread now we just need THE solution. I've been in and out the registry and the problem very well might be a .dll has anyone pm JUVS or Patr!k????
I too would be glad if somebody knew a solution.
I have a trinity and the sound is not bad, but when I connect it to my car stereo through my cradle, the sound has no bass at all. Will try the equalizer, don't know if that would even work. Need a solution!!
I guess I just need more power from the headphone jack...don't know...
I have been messing with my trinity and TLPMP is the best solution so far, by setting the equalizer to increase bass. It is not perfect but at least I can play music without my hears hurting.
I currently have an XDA IIs and the sound through the speaker is kinda meh, I'm thinking of getting a Touch Pro which I assume will have the same speaker as the Diamond and I'm wondering if you who have one will give me the heads up.
What's the quality/dynamic range like?
Is it loud?
Does it distort too much at higher volume levels?
I know some may question what I can expect from a phone speaker, lol, but there can be differences.
Thanks.
Not good. The sound is thin, so as the phone.
That was honest and helpful.
Thanks.

the sound from mine is fine, works like a charm.
The external speaker is for voice, if you want it to play "decent" music get some headphones or plug it into a stereo.
Could you tell me which music player you are using??
I am using the default player in TouchFlo3D. Tried built in speaker, bundled headphone, and my own headphone with 35mm mini plug adapter...all sound like old AM radio. No bass and high pitch is a bit scratchy.
Bluetooth A2DP + my headphone is much better, though far from perfect.

Thanks walshieau. My problem with headphone is solved. It was due to buggy Audio Booster. More detail here:

Of course I agree with you that we can't expect too much from the built in speaker.
Sound from external speaker
I have Pocket Player for my TD and it has an equalizer built in that you can customize. I have the sound from my external speaker sounding very good, ( I think) with Bass. It doesnt rock my pocket...but...its much better than it was. I find it very acceptable.
not good for mp3 ringtone it like the speaker cant Handle it
the sound get crap when you turn up the volume

HastaSSSS
I come from a nokia 7710 (first real touch screen in the world) and that speaker was LOUD, the one on Diamond is kindo bad. Forget about bassss.
gbye.
Yeah, I think the problem is not just the quality, but the loudness too.
If you use this with a Sat nav program (e.g., TomTom), at the maximum volume the audio commands are not loud enough when driving and with the car's radio on
Anybody knows of any trick/tweak to modify the volume range on Diamond, even if it gets distorted, as I really just need loudness for sat nav directions.
Hi there,
the included headset has this nice small control element for the music player but sadly you cant unplug the headphones and use your own ones. I checked HTC's website for a small adapter, so i could use my own.
But sadly the adapter only offers a call accept/call end-button, no player controls.
Does anyone know a good headset/adapter with player controls like this, but for 3,5mm, working with the HD2?
Thanks!
wait a minute... you cant use your own 3.5mm headphones? that would blow. i hope you misunderstood you.

Nono, you didnt get me right^^...you can use your own, but then you have no microphone and no music player control through this small control unit.
What i want is to disconnect the headphones near the control unit so that i can use the microphone/control unit from HTC with my own headphones! But there needs to be another 3,5mm jack on the control unit...but obviously there isnt...
The link ive included in my previous post shows what i mean, its a headset from HTC for the Hero.
Hi there,
Why don't you use Shure SE530? It may not have the controls you are looking for ... but the sound ... ... just makes you forget all the things you have "thought" you wanted =)

Cause i dont want to spent half of the money the HD2 cost me for a pair of headphones God damnit, those things are expensive!
I wanna have the best of both worlds, thats why i would like to see this remote control with a separate 3,5mm jack for my own headphones...
I won Zagg headphones - good sound quality and it has a control button and hardware volume control. The button works with HD2 - you can stop/pause in the HTC Player. I did not check what it does during a call.

On the headphones that are included the answer/hangup button also performs the play/pause function. So I think they should work for you. Just no Fast Frorward/Rewind/Skip function.
maybe you can try bluetooth headset. I have Samsung SBH-500, sound quality is brilliant, and it have controls exactly what you need... (plus volume controls )

I agree! That's why I took out the soldering iron (and looking glass) and mounted my Sennheiser CX400-II's on the control unit of the standard headphones.
What I meant to say was that the HS U350 set may work for you because the one button should probably have the same double function as the middle one on the standard headphones

Great tip!
So you don't even lose microphone, because it's in this button housing right? First time, that you can do something with this equipment

Yeah, maybe thats the only choice we have left, if HTC is not able to get another type of headset out in the next weeks...
wont chopping and soldering headphones create massive oxidisation of the lead. Not to mention the increases resistance for the signal to go through poor quality copper cable then suddenly in to good quality OFC copper.
You'd probably lose 50% of the quality the Sennheiser are supposed to punch out.
If controlling music is the problem then you will either need to solder an existing control pad onto your headphones or use something like the rce100 that lets you use your own headphones.
If it's just the mic you need then you will probably be able to use your headphones as I've currently got the westone um3x (which has no inbuilt) mic attached to the hd2 and the phone automatically routes calls to the hd2's inbuilt mic when i'm listening to music with mortplayer. So provided your hd2 isn't out of reach you will be able to listen through your headphones and talk through the handset like on Nokias.
Does anyone know of anyone who creates mic/music controls that take your own headphones that might work? Doesn't the iFone support this? If I have to settle for play/pause only I will, but I'd like to keep the track skip if at all possible.
I have a pair of Bose earphones which are really nice, but it's much easier to hit the pause on the HTC 'phones when someone wants to distract me in work than turn the screen on, go back to the music screen, then hit pause.
I have one of these from MobileFun:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/apple-iphone-stereo-handsfree-adapter-p15226.htm
Less than £12. It has vol slider and call/answer, you plug in your own phones. The call button works as play/pause in WMP, Sense and PocketPlayer, but haven't been able to get it working in MortPlayer. If anyone has any tips for getting it working in MortPlayer I'd appreciate it!
i have this combo, that work very nice

Simple question, can beats be turned on/off via a shortcut or a toggle? I like Beats audio on whilst using the loudspeaker, but would like to be able to quickly disable it when I'm listening to music with headphones without having to run into the settings menu first. Thanks.

Read a thread earlier where someone said Beats couldn't be turned on/off via tasket. I'll have a look myself though
Edit: No options in tasker
I need this option myself. Has anybody solved this yet?
I remember a time when devices with Beats had a notification to quickly turn Beats on/off like Power Saver is now. Beats on loudspeaker is terrible for rock and electronic music, and great for anything else.
Anyone solved this Problem with Tasker or anything else?
I will try and keep this short. Basically, I was originally using Doubletwist and had some problems with it so I switched to Poweramp and had messed a little with the bass control and what not, I went back to Doubletwist and uninstalled Poweramp and I noticed when I was playing music that the bass is really low, so I installed Poweramp again and the bass was back when I played a song on both apps. Uninstalled Poweramp again and same thing on Doubletwist. So it's like Poweramp is still controlling the bass even when it is deleted, wiped everything off the phone relating to Poweramp and still the same problem. Idk if this is the right place to ask for this kind of help. Sorry for it being so long.

PowerAMP has the best bass management Try the setup from the screenshot attached below. If you want too much bass with a boost of sound then use Jetaudio Plus with AM3D (setup in the screenshot) and Bongivoi DPS and select Beats Pro as headphone there
Download Viper4Android and use that to utilize more bass.

I had forgot to mention I use my phone in my car though blutooth primarily, I have subs so its not a problem.
Viper works for Bluetooth as well... Bluetooth devices aren't known for their audio quality though.
