Is the Audio booster issue fixed with the builds after build 35 ?
The issue is that my music plays without bass when using headphones or connected to my car audio system.
When turning off Audio booster, start playing music and then turn on Audio booster again, my bass returns.
This is really annoying to repeat these steps each time because I use the mp3 player functionality a lot.
sound issue
I think it's a general problem with the sound, once you go into screen saver, then stop the music, then go back to it, the sound levels have no base on it's quite annoying. The way to get around it, take the headphones out, turn on the device, reselect the music, put in the headphones and play.
I wonder what is causing the music to be so distorted. I'm on the latest wwe build
How did HTC manage to release such a buggy phone?
In the past all of my HTC devices have been great but this Diamond has me appalled.
It crashes, gets very slow suddenly for no reason, gets uncomfortable warm to hold, attracts fingerprints like crazy, has an unusable media player and now we have to do some stupid sequence of headphone unplugging and tickbox unticking every time we want to play some music!
This is the official relase, not some grey import with an unfinshed ROM...
Plleeeaaase someone work out how to get the old style Audio Manager working on the Diamond... Won't fix the bass problem, but at least I'll be able to access my music how I want to...
Same problem for on my phone, with rom 1.37
I though it was a headset issue, until I read this thread.
Veeery annoying bug
I've got it too noticed today. When the base went I thought the headset socket was at fault as if I moved the plug just slightly the audio would cut out completely.
However, I turned Audio Booster off, restarted and turned Audio Booster back on and all is well - even wiggling the cable so it's not a hardware fault there.
However as soon as I plugged into my PC by Disk Drive mode and went to listen to music after - it was back again.
Certain little things are really starting to rub the shine away but I do love the phone overall.
i'm sorry i have wrote this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402845
but i think now is the same problem..
how can i delete new thread??
thanks

I have this issue now for the first time and tried your fix. But still i have a lot of treble and the bass is gone.. Can you make a better step by step description?
Already found out:
How to create the bug:
- Play your music on your headphone
- Turn on Audio Booster
- Plug off your headphone and continue on your speaker
- Plug in your headphone again and your bass is gone.
How to fix?
- Stop your music
- Turn of audiobooster, and save the settings, not close! (so your headphone have to be connected)
- Start your music again and your bass is back!
- You cán use Audio Booster again now, but i won't!

Just download SRS Wow 1.21, it is miles better than Audio Booster, you dont get any of those problems and it will make the music sound better than it will on any other portable device... yes, it really is that good!

not working with my diamond
Me neither, I installed it but can't find how to launch the program, even with a soft reset and the registry modification
Edit: The program is in (settings) -> (system), but doesn't work: "There's no WOW HD driver loaded" and exits
Is there still no resolution for the Problem? This Bug makes the device almost unusable for me

Not working on my Diamond either, but I didn't try to edit the registry. Because I'm not able to edit it.... Tried PHMRegEdit.msi but I'm only able to read the registry on the phone, not able to edit. Any suggestions?
You could try CorePlayer. Full equalizer AND preamp....
Music sounds awesome. Really does.
But it doesnt fix the problem at hand. For example, when using the RCE100 headset, the FF/RW/PLAY etc only controls the built in HTC player, and not CorePlayer (or SRS WOW, etc)
It really really sux that HTC have not fixed this yet. I giess we are just waiting for the worldwide release of the diamond to complete (so that the whole world will get pissed off) and then HTC can concentrate on fixing the bloody device!!! I still love it though....
omg...
i thought the headset was crappy.. but i rmbed the first day.. when the sound quality was good and the next day it suddenly lost the bass..
so i tot i gave yer method a try..
switched off the audioboosetr after pausing the music
and walla..
its bassy and clear..
to think i paid a sum for his buggy phone... i love the diamond.. but probably the last phone from htc i ever gonna get...
Why does actually DISABLING the audiobooster help here? How screwed up can this probably rather simple piece of software be?
Geez I wish I had a stock HTC Diamond instead of my O2 so I could bug their customer support sufficiently with this issue.
Is there a way to get rid of the audio enhancing feature completely? After all it seems that earphone-audio is way better without it anyway?
Of course there is. By default the Audio Booster is switched off. It's a 3rd party app and not something that is actually built in to the HTC Player. Get a decent set of headphones and music will sound really good without it. The actual music playing abilities of the hardware (software aside) are really good and for someone who is a music junkie, I'm happy.
I am happy too. Juste have a look at the price of my headphone (westone UM2) and you'll understand that when I say HTC + AudioBooster + good headphone = best MP3 player sound quality i have never had (compared to sucky Apple's sound which is as the external speaker if i compared)!

well, i have the UE11 pro and i wouldn't use the diamond as my mp3 player, it still doesn't sound decent to me, but i agree, much better then iphone anyway.
ok i did try the srs wow.... not working on my diamond... and after uninstalling.... not ableanymore to activate the audio booster of HTC... (clicking on the flag just do nothing)...frack !!!
only hard reset will do ?
Hi
I'm getting tinny sound (no bass) on audio applications through my headset, if I do a hard reset everything fine.
Restore my SPB clone (push mail, all my apps) tinny sound again.
Interestingly, calls via the headset are lovely and bassy but any audio application playing files sounds really tinny and quiet.
I suspect the new version of Schapps advanced config myself as it seems to have started around the time I installed it and made my first change of some of the settings.
QUESTION: What settings in Schapps advanced config or Diamond Tweaks might I have missed? Are there any registry keys that I can delete to restore all the sound to default?
Yours

Work Around
Here's a workaround sourced from here:
2) Audio volume/quality. The audio quality via the headphones doesnt seem to have much bass and is quite tinny. Ive tried changing the Audio Booster app and it has little effect. Is the quality of audio really that bad? I dont think it was that bad with the first Diamond Touch I recieved (but had to send back!)
I had this problem - spent a good hour trying to work out why!!! Make sure that you shut down Media Player if you have it open and navigiate to the Home Screen - then Start / Programs / Audio Booster (make sure the headphones are plugged in whilst you do this). When Audio Booster opens uncheck the box to switch it off and then come out of it.
Go back to Media Player or the Touch Flow player and start playing your track (you should already notice a difference in sound quality). Then from the Menu in Touch Flow, select Audio Booster and switch it back on - hey presto, quality sound!
Even after flashing with the new HTC ROM I still find this to be a problem, but knowing how to solve it, it's not too much of a bind...

I have noticed some background noice when I play audio files in the music player.
I know from this thread that other people have the same problem but I have not been able to find a seperat thread that cover this.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735918
The problem is easy to hear if you play music through the build in loudspeaker and then turn the volume to 0 while the music is playing. I have notice that when I pause the music the noice will continue for about 2 sec followed by a "click" and then the background noice will disapear (probaly because the device is going to some powersaving mode).
The problem remains with all the headsets I have tryed and are pressent on firmware jm7 and jm8.
Anyone noticed the same problem and more important do anyone have a solution to this problem?
unable to reproduce
i do play music from the building speaker quite a bit, as i keep testing music for my alerts anc custom alerts for each contact
Hi there,
I had this problem also... was playing with the TV out. Once I turned this off the problem disappeared. Have you tried the standard issue headphones... this might also be part of it, Samsung is using a different pin setup
that makes more sense go into settings and make sure the TV Out option is disabled, if you leave it on, it can interfere with the audio output
i recall this being discussed on another topic a while back
try unplugging the usb cable if it's connected...
For some reason when I play a game and listen to music from Amazon music at the same time Dolby Audio gets turned off and my headphones don't process sound so it sounds terrible. It isn't an option for me to not use Dolby audio. Does anyone have the same problem or a solution?

Does it really sound that bad?
Sounds like a first world problem to me.
When I connect my Bluetooth earphones to my XZ2, musics and videos play just fine.
But when it comes to eventful sound (e.g. notification sound, words reading out by clicking in dictionary app or Duolingo, sound effect in games etc. ), it doesn't work reliably. Sometimes it plays the sound, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it plays only part of the sound. And the sound level varies inspite of the same settings.
I am sure that the earphones are not broken as I tested them with my retired Nexus 6 and the above issue doesn't happen.
I also noted that every time I change the Bluetooth AVRCP version, the first eventful sound would be successfully played but the subsequent eventful sound will not be played. And I cannot change the Bluetooth audio codec from "Streaming: Disable optional codecs), it will automatically spring back after switching to other apps.
I would be thankful if anyone could shed some light on this issue.
