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.
Hey guys, I was wondering if the sound can be tweaked to go just a little higher. I find the sound coming from the 2X good, but it's too low in volume.
As for example, the Samsung Galaxy S has a much higher volume. Mine is hardly hearable when playing next to the Galaxy S.
I'm agree with this, the volume is realy too low.
Im using a app called volume boost. It only cost about 2 $ in market. The sound in my headset becomes alot higher
Heard about it, but when I'm using my headphones the sound is pretty good. The thing I'm looking for is the volume for the speakers.
If it's for a louder incoming ring volume. Either choose a louder ringtone or boost an existing ringtone file by a couple of decibels with a sound editor program, like Audacity on the PC. I think up to +5db should be OK before distortion sets in.
Hey all. Considering picking a note 3 up. I use my phone as my mp3 player so good headphone volume is important. How is the headphone volume? Is it loud?
I have never needed to adjust phone to max volume to drown out the subway noise, though with some headphones, I do need to increase volume past the point where it nags you about how listening at high volume is dangerous (because, apparently, it's dangerous to listen at 75% volume, even though that's not as loud as 50% on a different set of headphones). If you root, you can kill the warning.
However, this is not a unanimous opinion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541902
Is there a way to lower the volume by about 1/2 of the lowest volume setting? The ringer is quite loud (which is actually good for other reasons), but the lowest setting for the ringer is also quite loud in an office setting.
I know I could put it on vibrate, but I do like to hear it as well - just not as loud. Is there any way to reduce the volume a bit more at the lowest setting?
Thanks in advance for any tips/hints etc.
Are you rooted?
Not rooted, but could be.
Im using a combo approach with dolby atmos (dap_r6.5.zip)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-dolby-atmos-t3109446
and an xposed module VolumeSteps+
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2884962
Might have to turn off the built in music fx EQ. Then I increased the volume steps to 15. I lowered the levels in dolby atmos to the volume level I like.
Just an FYI, in the stock, unrooted 3.5.4 update it allowed the lowest volume to go a bit lower (sounds about 1/2 as loud as the previous (3.5.3) low volume setting).
Happy!
Hey everyone,
I'm running AEX 6 on my Zuk Z2 Pro, but I'm noticing that during calls, especially with Skype and WhatsApp, the volume is too high. I have them already on their minimum.
I searched the net and found out that I can modify the mixer_paths _tasha.xml file to reduce the volume. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out what all the "paths=" mean and which ones I have to edit to reduce the volume.
I need to reduce:
1) In call speaker volume
2) In call headphone volume
The normal volumes, ex. when listening to music, are perfect, just in-call the volumes rise automatically even if android says they are low.
I'm looking forward for your help ?

im also trying, in oreo this is impossible i think, system wont react on any values i put in mixer path.
in nougat roms i just edit rx7 value, but in oreo this wont work.
you can also try some kernel editor, and there should be some section to adjust sound levels if kernel alows for that.
