Windows Mobile 5 - Ringing Delay Patch
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This CAB File will correct the very annoying, but very common problem of the 3 second Ringing Delay for Windows Mobile Phones.
Now updated to use NORMAL, LOUDER, and INSANELY LOUD source WAV files to make sure you hear the RINGS !!!
Now updated to force the Ring Volume to the Maximum Level (needs additional manual help) !!!
You will now have your phone RING just after or maybe even WITHIN THE FIRST RING the caller hears, and with some help from you, the Ring Volume will be as LOUD as POSSIBLE for your device.
There is only ONE caveat in using this CAB file and your phone ...
In order to benefit from the (nearly) instant ringing time, you will NEED to convert ANY and ALL Ringtones you want to use into WAV format. Using ANY other format will re-introduce the 3 second/rings delay.
This CAB contains the default Rings converted to WAV files, and 'corrects' a number of registry entries so that these rings are directly available.
By default, your default Ring will be changed to "OldPhone". Test it first using this setting, and then feel free to change it to any other WAV file.
NOTE: There are TWO versions of the CAB file I've created:
1). Contains only the required registry changes for WAV playback improvements, and leaves the device power management intact. [ WM5_RingDelay_Patch.cab ]
2). Contains additional Power Management entries to keep the WAV device in a low-power, but not 'disabled' state for fast wakeup. This may use more battery power, but will ensure fast playback. [ WM5_RingDelay_Patch_PM.cab ]
This CAB WILL now work for people having problems on all WM5 devices "out of the box", and you can OPTIONALLY change your volumes to maximum yourself.
(Blue Angel, Universal, Wizard, Exec, Atom, etc.)
NOTE: You will NEED to soft-reset your device in order for the registry changes to take effect!
Remember ... you MUST use a WAV file as your Ringtone!

How to set your device to have the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM Ring Tone Volume !!!
I have (now) learned the HARD WAY, that there are an infinite number of ways even the same manufacturer like HTC can make every single phone different. This is especially true even if on all the HTC phones I own, the settings are all identical, other models WILL be different!
This revised post is now my way of apologising for the problematic release of the previous patch, and to provide even more benefit to all devices. I'm very sorry for anyone who has Hard-Reset their device in the meantime to recover from this. Here is the FIX!
To set the audio layer to the loudest possible value for Rings (and/or to fix things from the earlier CABs I released), you will need to MANUALLY set the Attenuation preset to the one which has the LOUDEST possible volume setting on your phone. To determine this, you will need to search through the Registry and find the appropriate preset corresponding to the Attenuation category, and then you will need to set some registry entries appropriately.
I had forced the AttenuationCategory to what I thought was the correct value, but this appears to cause problems on other devices. So sorry!!!
*** When you've found out all the details, please POST your findings along with your device make/model in the forum for others to use.
STEP 1:
First you will need to go to the following key in the Registry:
(NOTE: The actual value in the key may be different depending on your model.)
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN]
"SPEAKER_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:10
Remember the value you have in this key ... But DO NOT CHANGE IT!!!
You will then see a number of entries following, which have "AUDIOGAIN0", "AUDIOGAIN1", "AUDIOGAIN2", etc.
You now need to find the ""AUDIOGAIN#" which has the HIGHEST or a DIFFERENT value for "SPEAKER_UPLINK_VOLUME".
This is a BINARY value, so I can only presume it is for bit-setting of amplifier gains within the device.
*** For my Blue Angel this value is located in the subkey "AUDIOGAIN2".
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN2]
"SPEAKER_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:19
Now, this may (or will) be different and probably different hardware so these keys may or may not exist.
DON'T WORRY - We still can FIX everything even without this information!
If you do have the time, please find the corresponding reference elements for your device, and post the information here for everyone.
STEP 2:
Now you need to go to the corresponding USER level Attenuation setting, and change that one appropriately to maximum!
In my example case above - this would require me to first use setting "2" for Maximum Volume (i.e. the Ringer).
Also, now that I know Attenuation setting #2 is the loudest, I will change this to be the maximum volume of "5".
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Attenuation]
"0"=dword:0
"1"=dword:1
"2"=dword:5
Here is where you can CHANGE things, even if you DON'T know the right Attenuation setting to modify from the above information.
If you change them ALL to the maximum value of "5", you have just increased the gain levels for ALL possible settings (Ring, Phone, InCall, Notify, etc.). This will only result in larger steps in your volume when you change it. (i.e. a HIGHER Maximum Volume - but still only 5 steps, and MUTE).
Now also, remember how MANY Attenuation Categories you have ... this is useful if you have to 'GUESS' which one to use for the next step.
STEP 3:
Go into the Sound Category which you want to modify. In our case with Ring Tones, these two entries are aptly named:
For the Ring:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring]
"AttenuationCategory"=dword:2
"InitVol"=dword:5
For the Ring Preview:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\RingPreview]
"AttenuationCategory"=dword:1
"InitVol"=dword:5
There are various other entries available for "Feedback", "InCall", and also "VoiceCommand1" (*** Yes you can make EVERYTHING LOUD!)
The entries you will need to modify are "AttenuationCategory" and "InitVol".
Always set "InitVol" to be 5 (maximum), and set "AttenuationCategory" to be the value you determined above.
In case you DON'T know the value from the above, you will need to try them all. My GUT feeling is that the HIGHEST "AttenuationCategory" will be the loudest. Most people when specifying things in hardware will probably do it that way, but you should probably try them all to find the best one.
The good news is that a soft-reset is NOT required to go through and test them all. Simply change the setting, wait a moment, and call your phone. You will then hear the volume level of the ring appropriately. Go through them all and find the LOUDEST one to use. That's your "AttenuationCategory" number.
NOTE: By default the "RingPreview" is using a STANDARD "AttenuationCategory", not the RINGER "AttenuationCategory". You can change this to your liking as well, and you can change any and ALL of your other "AttenuationCategory" and "InitVol" settings too.
If you want to have the LOUDEST possible volume ranges for EVERY possible element of your phone, set all "AttenuationCategory" values to be the one you determined is the loudest for the Ringing, set all "InitVol" values to be "5", and set all "Attenuation" entries to be "5".
STEP 4:
Pat yourself on the back for having the LOUDEST phone out there.
__________________________________________________________________________________
For Blue Angel:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Attenuation]
"0"=dword:0
"1"=dword:1
"2"=dword:5
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring]
"AttenuationCategory"=dword:2
"InitVol"=dword:5
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\RingPreview]
"AttenuationCategory"=dword:1
"InitVol"=dword:5
For Himalaya:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Attenuation]
"0"=dword:0
"1"=dword:1
"2"=dword:5
"3"=dword:1
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring]
"AttenuationCategory"=dword:2
"InitVol"=dword:5
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\RingPreview]
"AttenuationCategory"=dword:1
"InitVol"=dword:5
These were the same on BOTH of my devices, so I presumed they would be identical for all other devices. This is definitely NOT the case as we have determined. Again, my apologies to those early "beta" testers, but you can fix it now!!!
Please post your findings and results here for EVERYONE to benefit from them.

The patch can be applied to this ROM too, which will patch ALL of the default rings to LOUDER ones.
Also, the same procedure can be used to raise any and all of the volumes to the maximum possible.
Great !!
It works fine,but the sound volume is very weak.
How to increase the volume.??

Please try downloading the updated version. I've made the source WAV files louder (really to maximum). While my WMA to WAV conversion was probably adequate, I've now compressed/limited the WAVs for maximum output level and replaced them in the CABs.
Also, please ensure that the output volumes are at maximum. These updated WAVs should be loud enough, but if not then there is another problem with output volume which needs to be found.
Fix one thing ... but somehow there is always another issue ... *sigh* :roll:
Good news.
I've just taken the cab and now I try this trick
Is this cab working with Wav files only ?
No WMA ?
Thanks to all :wink:
Make the loudest possible WAV files ...
BTW: For your Ringtone ... ensure that it is FIRST amplified to the MAXIMUM volume possible.
Use Audacity (or similar), and then amplify the volume, and preferably do some soft limiting/compression on it to make it as loud as possible.
Then convert it to MONO, 16Bit, and if possible reduce the sampling rate to 11050Hz (11kHz).
While the quality will SUCK for listening ... as a LOUD volume Ringtone, it really doesn't matter that much when it's ringing in your pocket. 8)
How to get Louder than LOUD Ringtones ...
[Post deleted since it was TOTAL mis-information and absolute bull$hit]
There is NO "InitVol" setting which can go above the maximum of 5.
Don't even bother trying to say otherwise. It's an "Urban Legend".
Re: How to get Louder than LOUD Ringtones ...
Tuatara said:
Ok, since there are some of you who have some QUIET RING volume problems with the CAB file, here is a way to get LOUDER than LOUD ring tones. This will hopefully solve your problems, but will require Registry Editing to achieve.
Code:
Update the following registry entries to set the Volume higher than it is possible by default:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Alarm]
"InitVol"=dword:00000009
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Reminder]
"InitVol"=dword:00000009
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Notification]
"InitVol"=dword:00000009
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\System]
"InitVol"=dword:00000009
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring]
"InitVol"=dword:00000009
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\RingPreview]
"InitVol"=dword:00000009
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall]
"InitVol"=dword:00000009
Generally you'd only want to modify "Ring" and possibly "RingPreview". Those are the ONLY two keys modified by the CAB, so you can compare the other key values to what they need to be on your phone.
Let me know if this has any success for those of you with quiet rings. It's possible that the Andes has different volume settings or issues.
The default maximum (generally allowable) value of "5" works perfectly on my Himalaya, and on the Blue Angel. It should be the same for all other devices, but then again ... M$ and OEMs in their infinite wisdom ...

Does not work upgraded the Cab file Cheers, Taurus
Dear Tuatara,
It works fine, my XdaII rings just after or even WITHIN THE FIRST RING the caller hears as you said.
But the volume still too low,I change the registries as you wrote,not work.I also use Nero wave editor to increase it volume but the file is very big and quality is very poor.
Hard resetting 2 times today to gain the volume and use old wma.
Can you edit to use old wma or mp3 as ringtone? I think the quality of old wma is better.
Regards,
vivi

Quiert Ring tone
Well I installed the 2nd version of the file. Yeah it rang almost right away, however it was sooooooo quiet it was useless. So I just uninstalled the file and went back to the standays one. Ide rather wait 2 secconds and be able to hear it, then have it right right away and not hear it !!.
LOW VOLUME RING TONE
AHHGGGG, I have totaly uninstalled the 3 seccond ring tone fix but my phone still has a realy poor low volume ring tone now. What do i do to get it loaud again. I dont have any way to change the registry files, so I cant do that !!. What do i do ???
Thankyou
Rob
LOW RINGING VOLUME

Thankyou
Rob
VOLUME LEVEL FIX IS AVAILABLE !!!
My apologies for this ...
I have NOW updated the FIRST post with all of the details for correcting and resetting the volume level on your phone.
It does mean some MANUAL registry editing, but once you've completed that you can have the LOUDEST Ring and Phone possible.
Again ... sorry for the problems, but that's what BETA testing is all about.
For those who don't have it ... here's the PHM Registry Editor ...
Good Luck!

Right ... dumb, stupid mistake when assembling the CAB files for final versions. I've just had far too little sleep in the past few days.
I've uploaded NEW versions, and reset the download counters in the FIRST post again. This time, I've tested the final ones, and they are working.
PLEASE let me know if you've been able to reset your Ring Volume appropriately with the intructions in the post above. PM me if you have problems with it, since I don't want to cause people to Hard-Reset to try and recover from this - it is a very simple registry fix.

Right ... *whew*wipes*brow* ... that is GREAT news. This means that the CAB will now work for everyone WITHOUT any registry changes!!!
If you DO want your device to have a Ring Tone which is as LOUD as possible (or if you need to fix things from my previous 'bad' CAB), then you OPTIONALLY can set up your device to have the loudest settings possible. This would effectively make the loudest volume on your device the same maximum volume used for "Handsfree" operation.
At least now the 3 ring delay on WM5 devices can be properly eliminated!
But remember ... use only WAV files ... so convert those Ring Tones!
For your conversions, you CAN use any MONO, 16 bit WAV file from 8kHz to 48kHz sampling rate. Obviously, the smaller it is, the better the performance (has to load less data from your device/storage), so choose the lowest sampling rate which gives you a good sounding Ring Tone.
Another good thing to do is maximize the volume of the converted WAV file, and possibly use a Compressor/Limiter on it to further increase the output levels. A very good tool to use for this is COOL EDIT PRO, or for a freeware one, use AUDACITY. Both have the ability to make the Ring Tone as loud as possible without (much) distortion. This is what I have done to the default Ring Tones I included in the CAB, which should be VERY loud, and are also quite reasonably small.
Enjoy your responsive devices now ... no excuses anymore to miss those calls!

Maybe I've made the volumes in the WAV files 'too loud'!
But it's probably better having it 'too loud' than 'too quiet' ... I really have gone from one extreme to the other now.
Anyways, I'd recommend to just turn down your 'Ring Volume' if it is too loud for you now. :!:
Some mp3 can ring immediately,some are 3 sec delay.
I think the size of file is the main problem.
I use 300 KB mp3,it rings immediately,but 600 KB mp3 delay.
I test while power off and mp3 ringtones are in root of RAMdisk.
This is only for info.
Hi Guys,
I find the volume is too soft when the phone is switched to a speaker mode. Anyone knows how to change it ? the System and Ring volume bar is already at max.
I used to owe an Omnia...but sold it off because i hate the touch keypad.
Omnia has this code *#0002*28346# that can change all the speaker, earpieces and ring tones.
Does TP has similar code ?
Look for solutions...thanks
Feihong
I think there is no resolution for low speaker/headphone voice level yet...
yeah no solution as yet...
The sound volume is also a bit lower,that I am using normally(another HTC devices descibed below). I was all the time very happy with HTC's loudness,but Raphael is really too silent. Only one solution now I see,turn on speakerphone mode and turn the device around.with the display outside. So you can call also in discobar.
Sad..Sad...
Feihong
yes guys it would be realy great if some one would find it out how to increase the sound from the TP i ghat mine today its a greath ppc but the sound its not so good its realy wery poor :S one mine htc tytn 2 its perfect
pls guys help uss by that problem
Guys there is a way to edit the registry on a touch pro to make the volume louder, I had it on my old touch pro, but I just had to get a new one from the insurance company. As soon as I find it I will post it here
I just got my Fuze a couple of days ago, and noticed how much lower than my tilt the speaker volume was. I was ok with it, but is nice to hear someone has a reg hack for bringing the volume up on it. I'll be waiting for this post!
HKLM/Control Panel/Volume AND HKLM/Drivers/Speaker both potentially affect volume
or try this cab, it should work, havent tested it tho
On GSM devices, there is a set of AudioPara*.csv files which are normally found in the kitchen OEMDrivers folder - the contents end up in the .\Windows folder as hidden files). Use the device File Explorer (show hidden/system files) to confirm that AudioPara*.csv files exist on your CDMA device.
1) If they do exist, search the XDA forum using these keywords:
Arup Audio Boost CAB
2) If they do not exist, a CDMA chef may be able to offer some insights on how volume levels are handled for CMDA devices ... afaik, should be the same.
Using a registry editor, search for the .CSV file(s), it will yield the registry key that may need to be changed if you wish to point to a different .CSV filename in case you wish to return to the default file without resetting your device. In all cases, be cautious, tweaking the AudioPara to extreme ranges can damage the device or your hearing.
HTH,
J dont think that it is posted here,so from Diamond forum the file below makes Raphael sounds louder.Test it to mine & works, BUT it's a little disorted (with .wav files j use) ,maybe someone with enough knowledge fix it.
Media player now its loud, havent test it in incoming ringtones or bluetooth.
It doesnt sound well when SRSWOW is on.
The problem is that there is not enough power available from the audio amplifier. This can't be corrected with software.
What this .cab does is probably that it tries to increase the amplification beoynd the capabilities of the device. This may make the sound seem louder, but as you have noticed, it also increases distortion. There is no workaround for the laws of physics...
So we are really really stuck with a very inferior product.
I installed SRSWOW but lost all sounds

Did you change the dll file in the registry so that if points at the right one? Its been written a couple of times the the SRSWOW cab going about set the wrong values in the reg. So I think this should be an easy fix if you do a bit of searching. Try the Daimond forums.
Either this problem varies from device to device, or then Ijust dont understand how loud you guys need...
When my wife calls, she shouts so loud I even have to tone done volume
@WizP: I'll do a search for the fix.
@Taajuus: The sound must be decent enough....

I have my volume set to the halfway mark. I'm talking about the conversation volume, only settable while in a call, not the system or ringer volumes.
Those that are reporting low volume, is it the ringer, system, or call volume you are complaining about? In other words, is it the front or the rear speaker that's producing low volume?
The ring volume is more than fine, it's just the speaker volume when in a call, when outsuide you can hardly hear it
Yes, I concur.
I've got my in call volume at maximum and you can still barely hear the other person.
Before you ask, I don't have a screen protector covering the earpiece.
I still wonder - I havent had any problems with incall voice. Can hear person very clearly even outside in traffic noise.
Could this really be single device problem, or maybe operator dependant?
With that audiopara file in my raphael (ROMeOS V.1.05) the speakerphone volume is now hugh,the music playback is loud, but a little disorted, but j think that there was no serious change in incoming ringtones (though j use only wav files-that are much louder from mp3's.
As far as the disortion a new modified audiopara file that suits well with Raphael should make the difference.
J will try some mods with SRSWOW..
Worked here... But the sound is VERY distorted..
Couldn't find a way around it with SRS (Tried treble reducer) and no luck.
I can´t even here when I´m talking to somebody, but I still have that plastic over the earpiece but still! There´s NO sound at all through it (well really really low), I have max volume, will it get better with the screenprotecter that doesn´t block the small speaker?

REMOVE THAT. It's the same thing if I tried to yell to you with a wall in between us. Sound has difficulty traveling through a medium, specially a piece of plastic.
Dear Taajuus,
Could this really be single device problem
Click to expand...

Well... yes sit can because:
1. There are several related problems that are not seen in all devices.
2. Not all Raphaels [Touch Pro] are the same model, make or version.
or maybe operator dependant
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It can never be related to the operator because:
1. The operator's interaction with the device is the one of a comm carrier.
2. It's only possible influence would be with/thorough the radio, never the ROM.
3. The operator cannot directly interact with the hardware.
Cheers.

how do you install this?
The sound is distored cause tripp modified the values of the gain but put it too high. If some one could put lower values it would be great. I tried but didn't manage . I also tried to put the values of the HTC NIKE but it resulted in a lower sound that the original one.
How to install audiopara (to 'ekerbuddyeker")
Get in /Windows,search for audiopara3.csv, MAKE A BACKUP, use resco exp. and copy the new audiopara to /Windows, soft reset and done.

Ah, so that's how you install it ololol better write this on the first post...
Well for me this file really fixed the sound of my device, specially the earspeaker!! Now I have to lower the system sound so I don't get deft
I recommend everyone to use it...
So do u actually mean that this cab file has increased the volume on a call or just the general sound???
I recently acquired a HTC Touch Pro and the major problem I have is when making calls the volume is too loud. Even when I have the volume set to the lowest possible level, it's still too loud. Is there any way (maybe via registry hack?) that you can reduce the call volume even lower?
Holy ****, MOST people have the opposit problem, it is WAY too low even at highest volume, but you are maybe using headset/speakerphone?
Maybe we should ask the OP to upload his audiopara files It would solve a lot of users problem (mine also)
May be this device came with a new rom which is not yet available for download at HTC site.
What is your device rom version?
Regards
Yes, maybe the htc support guys were annoyed by the too many complaints about the call volume, so they raised the volume in the new rom to an irrational level?
OP: Is your ear speaker distorting during a phone call?
No not using speaker phone or anything like that. Speaker does NOT distort, its just too loud for me, even at the softest volume (1 bar), it's still too loud. I have sensitive ears. On every phone I use, I always have to have the volume to the lowest which isn't usually a problem as its manageable. It's just that with this phone after I make a call (even if its a brief one) my ear will go slightly deaf for a few minutes after, because its so loud. It's annoying, especially when the primary function of the phone is to make calls.
At the moment, I'm using ROMEOS 1.12 and radio rom 1.02.25.28 and protocol version 52.33.25.17U.
can u share with us the audiopara files? or the settings from ur registry? or something that can help other like me with the low sound?
i belive tht the entire forum here will be greateful for ever... and maybe the developers will work aroud with that files for us, poor people with nonsensitive ears...
I found this one audiopara3.csv file. It 's Tripp 's light boost. Works fine for me. You should unzip and copy it in \windows folder replacing the existing one.
Keep a backup of your original file just in case...
All credits goes to Tripp.

Can people chime in on this. I really want tio buy the Pro but from what I have read the phone suffers from the volume problem that all of the HTC phones suffer from. Has anyone found a way to up the volume on the earpiece and speakerphone. How well does the workaround work. All everyone is saying is try this without providing results and effectiveness
This is critical to me as I want ot purchase this phone immediately, but the volume issue, especially on the speakerphone, really is holding me up
Please help
ty, freco, but i have tried all audiopara published on this forum... still not satisfied....
i've copied it to /windows, but i think it wasnt there at all :S total commander did not say do you want to overwrite or something :S

I found this one audiopara3.csv file. It 's Tripp 's light boost. Works fine for me. You should unzip and copy it in \windows folder replacing the existing one.
Keep a backup of your original file just in case...
All credits goes to Tripp.

Updated version of the file for the people who thought the old file was too loud. in the new file below i have 3 versions. low volume, medium, and loud. hope this solves everyones problems. tell me if it has worked and what u think.
I was having trouble hearing people when i was in a noisy area. i thought it was my service and tried my other phone and found out that it was my new diamond 2
INSTRUCTIONS.
FOR THE NEW FILE ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO TO WHICH EVER FILE YOU PREFER (MEDIUM, LOUD) FOLDER LOW IS EMPTY SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT. TAKE THE AUDIOPARA3 FROM THE FOLDER AND COPY IT IN THE WINDOWS FOLDER. CHECK BELOW FOR MORE INSTRUCTIONS
I found this cab below. to install all u need to do is
1st find ur original audiopara3 file in \Windows folder and make a backup( copy it to ur sd card or somthing
2ndextract the cab (u can do it on ur computer using winzip and coping it to ur phone or u can do it on ur phone
3rd u have to put it in the \windows folder
4th if u use windows file explorer u need to change the name from (copy of Audiopara3 to Audiopara3)
now restart ur phone and test it.
ur volume should be really loud now!!!
adjust the volume to ur liking
it worked for me
If there is any problems please tell me
I would like to raise the volume a bit but not that high.
Can you create a light sound boost cab?
Or maybe you can describe how you hacked audiopara so we can adjust it to our needs
Tnx
i didnt make that cab so i dont know how to make u another one.
u still can adjust the volume with the volume key to ur taste
Thanx, that really boosts the sound
glad that it worked
its working but its working too loud,
when loudest volume set in music or ringtone it feels like speaker gonna break... and also quality is bad and there's distortion in highest volume.
possible to make it quieter?

yes, I agree. it's much louder, but it also gives much distortion in the upper volumes...
I have to agree also. I can sometimes hear echoes during phone call.
May I ask one question-Why you guys are talking about earpiece volume? For me it's loud at 60-70%. Don't even have to increase to full volume. Sorry if I said anything wrong.

I usually work in noisy environs and can't hear it well
The factory levels are set loud enough. So much so, that my speakerphone is actually distorted at full volume. You can change volume tables, but at the expense of quality. Either boost the treble with minimal distortion or boost the mids with a lot of distortion. I wouldn't mes with them unless you want a blown voice coil.
can someone explain how to edit this file? what you changed?
thanx.
Just open them using Notepad++ or even Excel to see what's different from the default file on your device.

i know i meant what values should be changed? what value do change?
Sorry about that. Misunderstood.
I've compared a few AudioPara files. But there are to many differences between them to tell how you can optimize this yourself
the idea is if we could change the file so the loudness could be between the original and modded one it would be perfect, cause now if i set it above middle there is distortions...
Agreed, I will do some testing when I find the time. Will try to lower some values here and there...
hope the new file helps
You've attached a RAR file with CAB extension.
File contains three folders:
loudest+distortion > AudioPara3.csv
low > empty
mide > AudioPara3.csv
Could be unclear to users what they have to do with the files since it's different from the instructions in the first post.
