Hello there
I have noticed that the speakers are now a lot quieter ever since I updated from the stock 4.1.2 to custom ROMs based on 4.2.2, specifically Android Revolution HD 10.2/10.3 as well as Trickdroid 7.5.0. I have tested the volume levels on both, and they are definitely much quieter than the volume was on 4.1.2. Is there a reason for that? I also checked on "PureX Audio" mod in AROMA installer on both custom ROMs in order to see if it makes a difference but I did not feel that it did, I could be wrong, though.
I am sure I read before that it is quieter on 4.2.2 and that there was a fix for it.
Thanks

I'm also facing the same problem.
Lower volume while using earphones.
The volume of the speaker is also lower during phone conversations.
I asked dis the ova day lol its because htc lowered volume levels on the update they must of felt they needed to tone it down

I have just downloaded update on stock and my volume is a lot quieter which is really annoying didn't warn you about that before updating the twats.

Volume sounds about the same to me, maybe a bit lower. Had AT&T 1.26 before flashing to unbranded 2.24. I know it was definately lower when the kernel source wasn't updated and devs had to use a hack to enable the in call speaker, which made the volume lower.
Is there a way to downgrade from 4.2 back to 4.1?
The newest version of volume+ on their site [beta I think] works with 4.2 to increase volume

Careful, I think HTC lowered it on purpose because they are having issues with blown speakers. Mine blew and I had to get a replacement phone from ATT. The tech said he's replaced many for the issue.

I'm on my 3rd (2nd replacement.) HTC One from Tmobile. Blown speakers all of them. This one is going too. Just not bad enough for me to go through the return hassle yet. I was not surprised to find this thread. I stayed stock, but i expect when tmo gets to 4.3, they'll have lowered the volume. So much for "Boomsound"!
ı dont hear anythıng when i use with headset. Sounds too low while listening music. You cant make call with headset because you dont hear other side. How can i find solution.
4.3 will be come at least 2 - 3 months later. And i think htc wont increase it.
boom sound is only reason to buy htc one. Now htc lowered up.

Hi.
I saw several threads on the matter but with no solution and they're from September 2010... maybe some new info has emerged...
I just bought the Captivate (not using with AT&T). It was with android 2.1 and with a decent outgoing sound quality.
I upgraded to 2.2 (installed [ROM] Obsidian V4.2) and now the outgoing phone calls are with bad quality.
The incoming sound is perfect. People tell me I sound bad as if from a very distant and deep submarine... I tried re-surfacing but alas it didn't help...
Is there any solution? driver? another ROM proved with quality? since at first it worked fine I imagine it's a software not hardware problem.
Thanks in advance.
I found that most of the newer 2.2 roms are based on the I9000UGJK3 modem and kernel which allows us to have HSUPA, but call quality suffers greatly. Until theres a source released for us cappy users, we're stuck with this issue. I went back to cog 2.16 because of that
Actually that new modern you mentioned is part of my daily driver. You just have to make sure you paiute the current modem with the correct rom.failure to do so will result in the results you have received.

I am also having horrendous call quality issues with that I9000UGJK3 setup.
So basically no one knows what can be done and I'm stuck with an amazing phone that can't be used as a phone....
Not able to use warranty - bought in the states and not living there....
ANY ideas???

Obsidian hasnt been updated in some time. Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863776, this rom is my fav so far, call quality much better, not great but better, FAST and has all the eye candy plus more. remember to flash to stock first, JF6 then master clear, use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
perfect
I finally installed this one

sound is perfect.
*small rant, question's in bold*
Forreal tho I'm on jellybean 4.1.2 build version 1.26.502.10 and boomsound is loud as hell.
I been playing around with custom kernels and roms and noticed that the newest update (build 1.29) reduces the max volume noticeably.
..Reading around the forums confirmed this also.
For comparison, 1 click up from mute on 1.26= 3 clicks up from mute on 1.29
Has anybody figured out what the changes are that HTC implemented that causes this?
I read another post somewhere in the elementalx forum that HTC said these speakers are capable of 93db! So why can't be have that?
Hell one of the main reasons why I got this phone was because of the amplified dual stereo speakers, if I want to blow them then let me but best be assured I'm gonna be jamming until they go.
I hope there's some dev out there working on making this phone's speakers reach their limits for us. I'm gonna be staying on 1.26 for awhile and enjoy my loud volume. I'll be definitely keeping a backup saved in case I decided one day that some rom's tweaks and stuff is a better tradeoff than louder volume.
*end rant* But seriously tho.. Can I haz even louder volume plox? Lol
This is a kernel issue already addressed due to released source not being complete. Hopefully will be fixed soon!!

Hopefully! And here's to hoping that a dev 1ups HTC and creates a tweak that unleashes the amped speaker's full potential!
Hi guys,
I have switched from Galaxy S3 to HTC One lately and I am completely satisfied with the HTC so far.
On a side note I would like to say that in all reviews people say that HTC One has awesome build quality vs the Samsung phones, but in my opinion the term they wanted to use is design not build quality. It has very good design, while the quality is pretty poor I would say, or the quality control if you will. However, what I like the most about the HTC One is the Sense interface, yes, I despise Samsung's Touchwiz, did what I can to get rid of it (cyanogenmod). But here, for the first time I am granted the opportunity to switch to pure AOSP and I don't want to anymore. Sense 5.0, in my opinion is pleasing to the eye, functional and pretty light too, also in contrary to Samsung, the 4.2.2 update fixed most of the issues that were bugging people so that's also good.
Anyway, sorry for that short off-topic, I had to say it .
The "issue" I have discovered is that the speakers are quite heavily imbalanced, meaning that the bottom one is louder. I have started to be worried, knowing how poor HTC's quality control is, but then realized that when I turn on Beats Audio they get perfectly balanced then.
Maybe this is how they designed it to WOW people with that Beats Audio switch, or maybe there is something going on with my device.
Does it happen with your HTC One also? I'm curious...
Nothing like that for me.. Just checked

Hey guys,
I have my One since release day, or so. I did S-OFF and rooted it. I was really happy with the speaker volume level. But since a month or two, I noticed that they were WAY weaker. First, I didn't cared about it. I told myself, HTC will fix it, I guess. Well my guess was wrong. I work at Virgin Mobile, so I tried a stock one to compare the volume of both. I'd say mine is at LEAST 50% weaker than the stock one. I don't know if it's related to my firmware flashing or the kernel or/and ROM. I did flash to the latest firmware, wich is 3.62.401.1. Currently, I'm on ARHD 31.5, but I'm trying Insertcoin and RENOVATE (if Insercoin is ot working either).
Any ideas what happened? Maybe my speakers blowned up^

Is the stock phone you tried out at Virgin Mobile running 4.1.2?
Last I remember, HTC lowered the max volume threshold on the front speakers in the 4.2.2/4.3 updates to avoid causing any hardware damage from excessively loud volume. You can try using the soundmod PureXAudio (comes as an optional add-on in ARHD) to see if that increases quality/volume.

I have experienced this same thing, I don't think PureXAudio really makes a difference in overall loudness.
Our demo runs Jellybean 4.3. My boss's phone is on 4.3 too and sound louder than mine, maybe between mine and the demo one. I did tried PureXAudio, wich I think is a pretty darn good mod. Didn't worked. I wonder if I could flash 4.1.2 sounds drivers without making my phone going into a endless bootloop. I did try some mods, but I always ended with this damn bootloop.
Is there a ROM that has better sound quality in-call than stock? Everyone keeps telling me I sound awful.
I like the AOSP look, so I tried De-Sensed and Virtuous Inquisition, but they sound like crap. And everyone knows about CM's in-call problems.

You could give WildChild's modded stock sense rom a try. Google "WCXXPERIA", it's located in those forums now.
I am willing to bet you have a case on your phone...
Take the case off and see if the problem persists...
On stock... The noise canceling mic gives all kinds of problems... Or at least it did for me

I actually don't have a case, but I can assure you if I did, I would have tried that already.

Then maybe try kozmikkernel or faux kernel?

i have been looking for the same thing but that is one problem with AOSP Roms but the best ROM i use with the best audio is the HOLICs ROM but it does have few bugs so i switched to Dirty Unicorn ROM and it works and audio isnt bad cuz you can adjust the audio with kernels
