[Q] Is low volume a FUZE issue only? Or all Raphael/Diamond? - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Just wondering if only AT&T Fuze users are dealing with low speaker/in-call volume or if it's a problem with all Raphael phones.
My volume on my Fuze is silent compared to my previous phone (Treo 700wx).
edit:
If you can, answer these questions
1. What variant of Raphael are you using?
2. Do you think the volume is low?

thanks

Do a search. This has been covered over.... and over.... and over...

Somehow... I knew someone would answer with "Do a search".

I had good results after tweaking the audiopara file. See my thread.

Right-click the download link and select save link as. You need to save it directly as a csv. You also need to modify the registry key to use audiopara3.csv
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev]
"AcousticFile"="\windows\AudioPara3.csv"
You can use diamond tweak to do this by disabling the 100 db sound limitation.

I have disabled the 100db from Diamondtweak but my volume is still low. Anyone else found a solution?

Did you try swapping the audiopara file in the link I provided above? That will increase the volume for the earpiece.

Im trying that now but in the windows folder, there is only a audiopara4 file and a audiopara hidden file.
Do I just copy the audioPara3 file without replacing/deleting any other file?

The file is actually there, but some file explorers hide the files in the ROM. I would recommend using total commander.

Windows Media Player 10 Mobile Download?

I have done a considerable amount of searching but can't seem to find it. Everywhere I look all i find is information telling me that it was never released for download.
Does anyone here have a cab file for WMP 10? I am using titanium 2 and it does not have it preloaded on it.
Also, I am looking for an automatic network configuration tool also if anyone knows where to find that as well.
Thanks in advance, Dan.

Are you sure you don't have WM10 already installed?
Here's what you're looking for to setup your T-Mobile UK settings.
Good luck!

no it isnt there. audio files look like a dll file is supposed to like and if it werent for audio manager, i wouldnt be able have mp3 ringtones.
Dan if you are running TNT v5 then it has wm 10 installed already.
check your device using file explorer/ my device/ windows/ scroll all way to the bottom you will see the wmplayer icon. i opened it and checked the about in menu and it is wm 10
You're absolutey correct about that. However, at the time I created this thread I was giving Titanium 2 a try and that did not have WMP10 installed.

Tweaked AudioPara3 Volume and Distortion Solved

I could never hear anybody with the AT&T AudioPara4 file. I performed the registry tweak to switch to the stock AudioPara3 file. You can use Diamond Tweak to accomplish this as well with the 100db European Limit tweak. This improved the volume but distorted the speakerphone at the higher levels.
After trying a couple AudioPara3 files I decided to tweak the stock AudioPara3 ROM file. The files I tried didn't tweak the levels proportionally and/or didn't solve the issue. I've been having problems with the earpiece not being loud enough and the speakerphone distorting the call. When switching between speakerphone and the earpiece I would have to adjust the volume.
In my tweaked file I modified only the earpiece and speakerphone volumes. There are 5 volume levels for each.
The volume on the speakerphone was the same for levels 3, 4, and 5. What they did was increase the gain each level which caused clipping of the audio. What I did was shift everything up two levels and added two proportionally quieter levels to the bottom. This give none to slight clipping at the highest volume depending on the caller.
For the earpiece I shifted everything down a level and added a proportionally increased 5th volume level. This provided the additional volume I needed without clipping.
Now I can switch between the earpiece and speakerphone without having to adjust the volume level.
Make sure to backup your old AudioPara3.csv file. You will need to use Total Commander to copy the file to the \Windows directory. Afterwards soft-reset and enjoy.

I don't have a BT headset to test this with. The file is easy to tweak as it is just a CSV (comma separated value file). Don't edit with Excel as I noticed it changed the spacing in other lines. What I did was open it in Excel so it was easier to read and then changed it with notepad.
The values are stored in hex. Use the windows calculator to convert to decimal so you can get the volumes proportionally increased. Lines starting with F6 - F11 are for the speakerphone and F12 - F17 for the earpiece. I changed the rxVolume and codecRxGain columns per the post above.
There is an F18 line that states BTHEADSET but it only has one volume level. There is also F0 - F5 that are HEADSET levels. You might try tweaking those. There are also G lines at the bottom for specific vendors, but I'm not sure when they are used.

Tenxo,
Your Windows Operating System is set up to associates a csv file to your program Excel.
This means that in your case, Excel is the default program to open any csv file.
You might want to save the csv file to your hard disk. Browse the folder. Use your right mouse button in the windows explorer, with the focus on the csv file and open the file with another program (i.e. Notepad). You can edit it and save the new result.
rsw686's tip is to view a (copy of a) csv file using Excel as this can make it more user-friendly- readable. But never assume that edditing a csv file in Excel and saving it will be usable for other programs.

I tried that and was able to save the file with .csv but it still shows up as opens with excel although the name has changed to audiopara3.csv it still opens with excel...
Could you post the file as a csv so it could be just moved to the windows folder without extra converting.
Thanks

There is nothing to convert. You just copy / paste the downloaded file onto your device. I place it on the storage card and then use total commander to copy / paste it into Windows.

Downloaded fine and copied to to the \Windows directory. Do I still need to modify the registry so the system knows to use the new tweaked AudioPara3 file?
I do not have access to a PC at the moment. When trying to dowload AudioPara3 file from thread it open in a new window in Opera on my phone.
Guess I need to download later at home.
As far as I can tell this particular file didn't make any difference on my phone. I put the file in my \windows directory and changed the registry setting to point to this new audiopar3 file and rebooted. Still sounds the same. Did I miss any steps?

Have you used diamond tweak to disable the 100db sound limitation? This can also be accomplished with a registry editor. The key to change is
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\AcousticFile
The stock value is \windows\AudioPara4-xxxxxx.csv. The x's vary depending on the provider. You need to change this to \windows\AudioPara3.csv which will tell it to use my tweaked file.

No, I didn't use the Diamond Tweak, I simply changed the registry settings (the same ones you indicated above) from the stock \windows\AudioPara4-_att_20080703.csv to \windows\AudioPara3.csv After that I performed a soft reset.
Is this audiopara3 the same size file as the original one, 67.2k I'm just trying to make sure that the file I copied is the right one.

Mine shows 67.2k in the file explorer. You might try downloading the file from your phone and comparing it. What did you use to copy it to the \Windows directory. I know that Total Commander works well for this. I'm fairly sure you did this, but you did make sure the volume was turned all the way up when making a call?

Mine shows the same size in Explorer as well. I used Total Commander to copy the file (which I put on my storage card) to the clipboard. Then I navigated in TC to the \windows directory and did a paste. Yeah, I turned up the volume
Maybe I'll try downloading the file again. Can the file be downloaded directly to the phone or must I use a pc? When I tried it with the phone it just opened the .csv

Sounds like you did everything right. Here's a zipped version that should download directly to the phone. It could be that you might need to tweak the file louder. I bumped it up a notch which made a big difference to me, but maybe not as much for others.

Please help with audio volume

Hi, i'm trying a couple of days now to find a way to increase the volume when i use the headset to listen mp3, does anyone have a solution? i use wm 6.5.
try using MP3Gain. It is free. U can use it to make your mp3 louder.
thanks, i'll try that, but i have seen for other devices hacks for the low volume, i have tried them but they don't apply in vox
Use a Mobile registry editor (like Resco Explorer), goto HKLM->Software->HTC->Audio Gain-> EAC_GainHeadset (I think, or its something HeadSet... I think you can figure that out ) and change it to ... say 70 (do not go above that as sound will crack.).
Hope it helps
Unfortunately i have tried all registry hack's and none is working i was wondering if there is any file to hex edit...

Registry change to increase the volume? (Did HTC hide this registry key)

Hello Guys,
I just would like to increase the volume of my HD2 when I listen to my mp3s.
Does someone know which registry key to modify (in France volume is limited to 100 db). Cannot find it.
Old tweaks which used to work on all previous HTC models do not work anymore on the HD2.
Thanks for ur help
It would be interesting.
I think that the volume level is not bad but could be better, like the HD when modified it with HD Tweak.
i am also interested
please help us !!
michel
Hi,
Me too. Been looking for weeks now. I believe it's not in the registry but a config file in the Windows folder.
I suspect it's not easy to edit though. The new HD Tweak doesn't cover volume, nor does BsB Tweaks, whereas on the HD it was solved very early on.
What's strange is that HD Tweak removed the restriction on my HD even though that was running Dutty's Leo ROM on 6.5.
HD Tweak looks like it's removed the restriction on the HD2 but the volume doesn't appear to change.
Frustrating. I'm still using my old HD for music!
p.s. You may want to start here:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\AcousticFile
Don't get excited by the Maximum App Volume - changing this on mine did nothing that I can tell.
AcousticFile points to Windows\audiopara3_Max.csv (which doesn't seem to exist, even looking at hidden files). Thisis what used to set the limits on older devices (or so I've been told).
SysMaxVol doesn't seem to do anything either.
Hope this helps.
Thank you very much. I tried this registry change. But you are right, no effect
Strangely the HD2 registry differs from the one of the HD.
I tried to modify the volume level using HD Tweak and Shaps Advanced Config: no result
Why is it so complicated?
My neither. - (nor AppMaxVulume and the same effect with SysMaxVolume)
Can someone help?
Thanks
What I have done is to increase de mp3 file volume with "mp3DirectCut" and I will wait for a solution.
I hope someone can help us.
friendly bump....
We won't give up.
there's a audio calibration file in /windows
but I've not been able to open it so far.
attached is the one from the 202 rom if anyone wants to try
Strange. I have one question:
It seems that the old registry tweaks regarding In Call Recording and Volume Increase do not work anymore on the HD2.
Would it be possible that HTC on purpose decided to hide these registry parts, as they may correspond to legal limitations???!
I can't believe it.

We have new hardware.. new way of doing things?
People I use by replacing in Windows folder (with Total Commander or Resco Explorer) this file AudioPara3.csv
I upload one zip with an original file AudioPara3.csv in Original folder, one AudioPara3.csv with an audio increment in folder Full Boost and another AudioPara3.csv in folder Lighter Boost.
So... you can try first per example the AudioPara3.csv in folder Full Boost and copy/replace the original in Windows folder>Soft Reset and try... the same with Lighter Boost If you don't like the results... replace in Windows with AudioPara3.csv in Original folder of the zip I attach
Don't forget do a Soft-Reset after copy to Windows folder... any of AudioPara3.csv

Fidalgos, thanks a lot.
I just installed it in on my HD2. I successfully placed the AudioPara3.csv file in the Windows folder. Strangely Total Commander did not ask me if it should overwrite any older AudioPara3.csv file, which suggest that there was no such prior AudioPara3.csv file in Windows. Am I right.
Everything seems to work fine. I will test it tomorrow in the street to check if it is not the famous placebo effect
Yes is true... Windows folder don't have this file But when you soft reset and return... if you use the file in Full Boost folder... shure you have an increment of audio in general and maybe you must decrease on volume button a --step . When you try in street... say something
Before... open your windows media player and put the volume in 100% then... close the WMP (real close) to set this 100% in volume
Regards
It seems already better.
Thanks a lot Fidalgos.
not much better,not like old HD.
Maybe,after copying this audio para3.csv file we can make reg change in sysMaxVolume from 6 to 7 or 8.
Maybe this can enable audio para3.csv file to take effect?
Did someone tried this?
thanks
thanks for the info but no use :crying:

custom sounds

Can we select custom sounds for things other than a ringtone? I want to change my text message sound with something custom. It won't let me select from my custom ringtones though.:/
I used R1ng3d to finally get a ringtone working on this phone, which was painful enough but you cant select these things as say a text message sound.
You'd think something that has been done flawlessly for years would be easier in this new OS, why Microsoft thought it important to make this so difficult is behind me.
Oops sorry I think I posted in the wrong forum section :[
You actually can but after Mango it is a task. You'll first have to Chevron unlock your phone and then interop unlock it and then find a file explorer. The only file explorer around as far as I know that works with Mango is the Windows Phone Manager 1.7 by touchexperience. You will have to go to the touchexperince web page and register and then donate in order to become a beta tester, you will be able then to download the WPM 1.7.

Just found out that if you have an HTC you can sctach that, I have installed WPM and it sees my Windows directory and I can see the Alerts but can't over ride them anymore like in pre Mango. The freaking system files are restricted, every time I try to change something it reverts back to it's original state. F#$ken HTC and MS.

If you have a registry editor it seems that you can look in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds.
There are some keys and under it some values that seems to be system sounds.
I haven't tested however so be careful.

This is unfortunate. Really hope ms fixes this in the next patch...would be as shame for them not to. I just don't understand what the big deal is...

copy Ringtone to My documents\Ringtones (Not My Ringtones)
go to registry to HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\CustomRingtones
and set new value
Value name = name of your Ringtones file Ex. Ringtone.mp3 Ringtone.wma
Value Data = name appears on the cumtomringtone. you can input any value.
Value Type = String

i hope that my thread can help even though the solution maybe long winded!!! smh
i did not understand why they allow you to put custom ringtones but text and alert tones still the same crappy ones.
