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
Sometimes my SGS play all the sound from earpiece.
Without earphone pluged in.
Without bluetooth devices.
But it works again after reboot.
Any one knows why?
SGS froyo 2.2 JPD Speed Mod K9A 300
how do u know it plays in earpiece if not plugged in?
meaning no sound at all?
same here
Sometimes my SGS also plays all sounds from the ear piece and not from the speakers. I never experienced this before :S
The sound is coming out the little hole that you plug the earpiece in to ???
jje
Happens after disconnecting from BT
Hi, similar thing happens to me too, but only after disconnecting from my car's stereo via BT. haven't tested on other BT stereo though.
yes. all audio seems to be rerouted from both external speakers (earpiece and rear speakers) to the audio jack or BT channel.
anybody else with this issue?
I once had this problem, but I just rebooted my phone and then it was ok.
When I make a call the front speak doesn't work, there is no sound. But when I activate the back speak the sound will work from there. I've tried doing a factory reset and that didn't help. Anyone have any suggestion on fixing this?
Also when I try to play the MP3 playing through the phones speakers there's no sound. In the sound settings when adjusting the volumes it'll preview the ringtone and alert sounds but not the media ones. It looks like the sound on all apps, media and phone calls (not though the speakerphone) aren't working.

I found the answer, apparently I was using a skullcandy apple headphone jack that came with my ski helmet. It messes with the phone jack and makes the phone think the headphones are still plugged in.
I'm not sure how to delete the post. Please ignore it.
Has anyone else encountered this? Sometimes if I plug headphones in and listen to music, then unplug the headphones afterwards, then the speaker would not work. I would have to plug my headphones in again, pull them out, and the speaker would work again. It's almost as if the phone thinks headphones are plugged in even when they are not, and routes the music to the headphone jack instead of to the speaker.

I don't have this issue with the Z3C though i had this issue with my old Xperia S, after couple of months use this resolved it self. must have been a contact point issue in the headphone jack it self.
Diferent
What has happened to me is different, when I'm listening to music on the earphones and then I stop the music and close the Walkman app, and then I play it again I can't listen to anything, If I use the volume controls to turn up/down the volume nothing changes, and I need to unplug the earphones and then plug them in and it works fine then.
I don´t know why this is happening.
Sorry for my bad english
Hi
I have the C5J6 64b model. When I click on the volume button it sounds on the speakers and the alarm in the clock app sounds too.
But when I play a game or see a youtube video I have to plug the earphones.
I tried installing soundabout app and "force" the app to use the speakers as the primary sound output.The sound comes from the speakers when I play, music,video.... when I use this method.But I have to open the app and change the sound output to "earphones" if I want to plug my earphones so it´s annoying.
It´s like the system recognizes that I have earphones plugged in and can´t use the speakers.
Anyone have this problem too?
Thanks.
Nope .... try make clean install .
Maybe is a hardware problem ....
