I get complains almost daily that the background noise is overpowering when I'm on the phone. I basically can't be on the phone anywhere where there is any activity or it sounds so loud people ask me to call them back. I've tried a couple of different AudioPara3s but none have corrected my issue. I'm currently using RRE but had the same problem with RomeOS. Does anyone happen to know what I can do about this? If it is a setting I can change in AudioPara3, does anyone know which field(s) I should mess with?
Thanks.

Have you got "Microphone AGC" turned on? That's a technology that automatically screws up the volume of your voice when talking softly. It's nice when inside, but outside it also boosts background noise, like wind and traffic. Try turning it off, when in loud environments.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip. I checked Microphone AGC but it was off. I'm wondering if I just have a bad phone, since the problem is so bad I'm sure there would be a lot of other people complaining if it were common.
Bump in case someone knows something I can try with AudioPara3
Hi there,
I have the exact same problem...
It doesn't matter if i am inside or outside, the person in the other end hear backround noise over my voice... It is absolutely impossible to talk...
One person i talk to alot says my voice sounds almost distorted, like some gain or amplification is to high.
I would really like to know if someone has a solution to this issue?!
AGC is turned off..
Best regards

Same issues here. Using the same phone, I have the problem when I'm running the Energy 6.5 Rom's, but not with the Energy 6.1 Rom's. Been searching and I'm stumped.
I did notice that the proram TouchPro Tweak has an Audio Boost that can only be set to "Medium" or "High". The program is written into most Rom's though so deleting it won't help.
Any thoughts?
Any help here would be very much appreciated, I've found nothing after many more hours of searching.
Are you guys sure you are using the correct rlphone.dll to match your radio?
It could be screwing with your "radio" functioning.
Yep, I did reflash my raido and reinstall my rilphone cab to make certain. The reply is still much appreciated!
Okay, I've had a bit of success.
- Microphone AGC - Enabled
- Used Total Commander and went to -> \plugins\registry\HKCU\Software\HTC\SOFTAGCData
- Max Level Gain : Changed Decimal Value from 10 -> 1
Background noise gone, but my voice is still very muffled.
If it wouldn't be too much of a bother, would someone running a 6.1 Rom be able to post up their values from all the registries under "SOFTAGCData"?
I would be very thankful.
*** SOLVED ***
Flashed back to a stock AT&T Rom and extracted all of the Audio files that may of been the cause.
Reflashed one of the Rom's that was giving me the issue, called the wife, problem still existed.
Dropped the AT&T Rom files in, placed a call, and Viola! Problem Solved!
Just extract these into the Windows dir (At your own risk, but they're just AT&T Stock files) -> Clicky

I have searched high and low, in this Forum and others on the web for an answer to this problem. About a week ago, for no reason I can account for, my Fuze began playing a VERY loud 2 note notification, four times, whenever it is disconnected from external power.
It's so loud it actually frightens children, and bugs the heck out of anyone within 10 yards of the thing.
I have soft re-set it many times to no avail. I can't find any setting for this on the phone or in Diamond Tweeks or Advanced Config.
Am I missing something basic here?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Can Anyone offer an idea even?
It's still going Bump in teh night - VERY loudly!
Solved! All By Myself Too!
OK, I'm a little embarassed
Turne dout it was the program "Batti", which can be configured to do this (lord knows why)
No idea how its settings were changed - nothing I did intentionally I can assure you.
Will leave this up in case someone else get the same problem
I work on a trading floor which is admittedly fairly noisy, but my wife says the HTC Fuze is picking up a huge amount of the background noise, to the point where I sound like I'm competing with it. I never had this from my iPhone, so think it must be something on the phone. I'm running RomEOS 1.4.
Is there any way to adjust the sensitivity of the built in mic?
Under settings/system there is "microphone AGC" which allows you to disable the auto gain on the mike. That should help.
STraver, sir, my wife and I thank you!
Interesting...I always thought that setting was only for recording...
Thanks though
i am having the same problem with mine. it never used to do it until recently. and i believe "microphone agc" is used for your voice command/recording NOT the microphone level of in a call. either way it does nothing for me.
It's possible that my wife was mistaken when she said it seemed better then. I'll leave it 'off' for now and continue to watch.
I too have the same problem! I'm about to return this phone, every business client complains about every noise. They can hear me pick up a pencil! I looked @ AGC and it was already disabled. Any programs or registry settings I can use?
Please
Try changing your radio to one of the Blackstone Radio's. PM me for specific ones. Just remember you NEED TO BE SECURITY UNLOCKED!! THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN HARDSPL......CLICK HERE FOR SERCURITY UNLOCK
Hi all.
I installed couple of different ROMs on my VOX but after a while they stopped working (on call phone freezes and stuffs like that) so I returned to the old good Gonzo's 6.1 v1.1
Everything works great as it always have been with this ROM, but I have one small, rather boring issue: most of the time my phone is close to my computer speakers. With this ROM pretty much often my speakers start buzzing (cannot explain better the problem, but I think you all know what sound the speakers make during a call) although there is no call.
This is very boring. Can someone tell me why this is happening and how to stop it?
Thanks.
It is your phone making a connection to it's provider. It also makes that sound when your vox is trying to sync it's mail, or something else over its GPRS signal.
This problem occours with small speakers.
Only thing you can do about it is turn off your speakers or the connections on your Vox.
Grtz. FeareX
I don't think that is the issue since the signal bars are full all of the time, I don't see it trying to make connection to my provider. Also GPRS and WAP are disabled in NoData.
This is only happening with this specific ROM and I like it alot because it works perfect on my Vox.
I hope someone can help.
Thanks.
It happens for me too, but only when I turn on my phone, I think it's something like SIM-Card connecting to my provider or something, I dont know alot about this though
Seems like some good ol' Electromagnetic Interference to me... The high freq phone signals somehow get into the speakers, creating the noise... I suggest u keep ur phone approx 1-2ft away frm the speakers.
But I didn't have this issue with any other ROM. Also I noticed that now the phone looses connection pretty much often
I use the HTC adapter with my ATT Fuze to listen to music in my car. When I unplug the adapter to get out of the car, my speakerphone no longer works. If I get a call, it will vibrate but not ring. If I adjust the volume, I don't hear the indication beeps. However, if I make or receive a call, I can hear them through the regular speaker, and they can hear me.
I've tried adjusting the volume everywhere possible, adjusting the audio profile, changing the ringtone, etc, but the only way to fix it is to soft reset. Needless to say, it is very inconvenient to have to reset my phone each time I get out of my car.
I did search the forums but couldn't find any solution. Unlike these people:

my phone does not show the headphone icon indicating that it still thinks the headphones are plugged in. It also will not allow me to use the TouchFlo Audio Booster, further evidencing the fact that it knows the headphones aren't plugged in.
I had to replace my phone for a different reason, so I have verified this problem on two separate physical units. On both I tried cleaning out the USB jack and wiggling the connection around as suggested elsewhere on the forum, but neither solved the problem. In the process of getting my old phone ready to send back to ATT I restored my stock SPL and ROM and verified that the problem still existed. Other than the stock stuff, I have experienced this issue on EnergyROM 2.0 41609 and 41709, EnergyROM 3.0 'Magic' 20090709, and EnergyROM 3.0 'Mercury' 20090722.

I thought my Bluetooth stack may be causing the issue, so I flashed a new radio as well. I was originally using 1.14.25.35, and am now on 1.14.25.05, which NRGZ28 says is the best for his Mercury ROM. Still didn't fix it. I'm at a loss for what to do, and wonder if anybody else has come across a solution, or has any idea what the problem could be.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

im having same problem dude. Have you tried going to your audio recorder and recording yourself and then making a call. That helped get mine back the way its suppossed to be.
That worked. Very interesting... Does anybody have any idea why this might be the case? Is there a registry value somewhere that needs to be reset after I use the adapter?
NRG has a couple of little apps he includes with his ROMs, namely "Finger Menus OFF/ON" and "Notification Manager OFF/ON" that I assume just wrap up a registry value switch. Would it be possible to code the registry values I need into an app like this, so I can click a button and have my sound working again after I use the adapter? Any senior members willing to do this for me or guide me through the process?
And thanks for the tip Mr. Ewok.

The voice recorder trick doesn't work for me anymore for some reason. Anybody else have any suggestions?
Thanks,

hey,
I had exactly the same problem with my Fuze. I've never flashed anything but the stock rom. I sent it to PPC techs because I had them repair another problem. They told me it didn't have anything to do with the speaker or cables, but they "heated up the board" and it started working. I'm wondering if there's a manufacturing flaw (like a cold solder) involved.
BTW PPC techs didn't charge me anything but shipping to repair it (as it was under their warranty, even though it wasn't their fault). Nice guys!
Hello!
I have a major issue during videocalls using google duo, skype where if there are any background noise around me, i can't hear the person i am talking to. The audio cuts off. It has to be silent around me in order for me to hear the person i am talking to. Is there any fix to this problem? I have already reset the phone but the problem is still there.
mic (over) sensitivity? perhaps some will stop by and know the file and file entry to edit.
any of this type setting elsewhere (Settings, the app itself, and sound modification yo have installed, eg Viper, etc... that you can check/get to?
I have no sound modification installed. I checked the settings but there seems to be no part adressing this issue. The same problem happens when i use different apps like skype, google duo and signal. Could it be a hardware problem? The microphone works fine when i record a video or recording audio.
Maybe.
Rooted? If so, and you've done a full, clean install, and sure that the install is working ok, maybe try another custom ROM.
Normal calls work, as I get you it's (just) video calls? Another possibility, I'd consider looking up mic sensitivity and ways to decrease it. On the OnePlus One I am aware there was a configuration file folks could mess with to try and resolve that phone's mics over sampling. That was a common issue for many.
Have you tried turning the volume down and see if that has any effect?
Wish I could offer more ideas, I have used video calls maybe 3 times in 8 years.
The phone is not rooted. This problem occurs only when i use internet based videocalls (skype, google duo). The volyme is not usually high when i call. Thank you for your time, hopefully i will find a solution soon.
Frustrating. Good luck.
