So, finally Spotify for WM6 is here! Only one problem: Whenever a song is finished playing, the next song is played with the volume reset to a really low value, no matter what the volume was on the song before. Meaning that I have to increase the volume for every song played...
This bug is really annoying, and I havent found a solution so far.
Anyone found a solution/workaround?
SOLVED:

I found kind of a solution, I renamed Windows\HTCVolumeControl.dll to HTCVolumeControl2.dll and did a soft reset.
This made Spotify unable to reset your volume, BUT the hardware volume buttons wouldn't work when Spotify was in the foreground, meaning I had to minimize Spotify every time I wanted to change the volume...
Please help!
I'm running stock ROM on Htc HD2
ROM ver 1.66.409.1 (76641) NOR
Radio 2.06.51.07
I can also send you the HTCVolumeControl.dll if necessary.

Hope I'll get an answer soon...
I also got another issue with spotify... the sound is "scratching" several times in each song. It's almost like playiong from a CD with scratch-marks...
Any one else got this problem?
I'm using Energy rom...
SOLUTION!
Found a working solution...
I foud a cab that completely removes Htcvolumecontrol.dll from the windows directory here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=117790&d=1222865332
This does fix the problem, but it will also give you the classic volume control from wm6 and remove the htc volume control entirely.

I have a theory; that if someone that doesnt have the problem with spotify resetting the volume on hd2 they should post their htcvolumecontrol.dll for us to try, maybe this can solve the problem in a better way!
Ive got this problem too. I dont want to do the workaround as I like the htc volume control method. Anyone have another solution?

Spotify staff is working on it. Here is the reply I got from support:
Hi!
Thanks for your e-mail!
It's a bug that was found on too late so it will be fixed in the next version. I don't know exactly when that is but we want to do it as soon as possible.
Regards,
Samuel

Fellow Universal users,
I managed to get an application from my ipaq HX4700 its useful for audio enhancement. It worked flawlessly on my uni, just copy it to programs directorty or wherever you want then run it, it even enhances some of the microphone features, (gain in noisy and quiet environments).
Let me know what you think, download it and test it for yourself.
Cheers everyone!

dj_gabzz Greate,man!It really works!Some times it buggy(need to uncheck/check "Enable Headphone Equaliser" after each track in WMP),but it raelly changes sound!
Most usefull app,since "DSP" on Blue Angels!
thanks dude.
this really comes in handy.
your welcome guys
thanks for the feedback, i just realised that you have to turn it off and back on to reapply the sound settings for each track? do you think there should be a registry value for it or something?.
It changes registry values...
[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\AdvancedCPL]
EQA
EQB
EQC
EQD
EQE
but the problem is that when Windows Media Player starts playing a file... the EQC, EQD and EQE are automatically reset to 8 (default)...
It's easy a workaround... let me know exactly how it works... (changes need to be applied during, after or before play? are manual changes to the registry applied effectively to audio? do all the registry values enabled and operative (EQA, EQB)?) and I'll develop an app when on holidays...

Thanks Mamiware
i am not sure if you manually change the registry values.. but as far as i realised for now, during the play if you mess with the eq it changes the sound quality and it sounds great but when you skip a track or when you get another song toplay, the eq looks the same way as you modified it but wont work (audio wise) you will have to turn i t off and back on to reapply the setting to that track that started playing.. , it would be great to find a way that changes the registry values and keeps them there..
i think its agreat app for audio lovers..
. . .
I think this topic needs to be stickied since this is a big issue for those people who want to play great quality audio with their devices!

Now that A2DP is working really fine... I think that an app is needed... It's very simple to do... I'll work on it during the next few days... has anyone found other registry tricks to manage audio quality or eq-balance?

HOW DO U MAKE THIS THING WORk!?
Just saw this. Looks interesting. Has anyone been able to get a change in sound quality?
Nice Job!!
Not me... there needs to be a shortcut added to Start Menu/Programs, but even after making that change, still not change in sound quality. Must be a reg edit issue... Can experts investigate this? Thanks!
EQ
Has anyone tried DrDots 3.1 rom it looks like it has this in it but I don't know if it works or not. I no longer have a wizard to test it but if it does work I will investigate and see what I can do.

I'm curious too! Someone with a working equalizer???
thanks for the cab.
Before I install this on my Mogul, does anyone know if this works?
Thanks
I can lounch it on my Mogul, but it does't change any sound. Maybe thise app. works only on WM5.
I can't get it to work either on wm5 or wm6 and never have. The mic part works. Try "SRS WOW HD" instead. Just wondering, shouldn't this be under "Development and Hacking" with the other software?
was not working with HTC offcial WM5 or TNT 6.1 versions..but SRS works..
Equalizer problem
When i change the preset the sound changes, but when i pause the song or play another or stop and play it stops working, i have to set other preset and then set my desired preset back to make it work, but doing this every time a song changes or you pause it is very very annoying... Anyone knows how to fix this?
i have same problem ,did you solve this problem?it is very good eq, but this problem...can you help me how to do it?
was not working with imate kjam WM6
I have purchased HTC P3000 from reliance web world and facing a problem like there is no option for equalizer in windows media player or audio manager associated with it. I have tried HTC Equalizer and HTC Audio Booster but both of them failed to work properly.
Please suggest how to enhance my mobile.
When the phone rings i hear an annoying glitch or blip ( SCRATCH) which occurs only at the start of ringing tone.
My Questions:
Do u have the same problem ?
How we solved this ?
Thanks in advance
I had the same problem. Didn't solve it though. I think the MIDI engine takes a long time to load, which causes the glitches to occur. Try to get an mp3 ringtone, for me it works, no more glitches. Must be that decoding mp3 is faster than decoding MIDI files.
Don't know if it will work with you, lets hope

@minotavrs: upload here the mp3 file so everyone can try this.
i have also that problem and i,m looking for a solution.
it,s not hardware because i hear the problem also with the headphones and is not with every .mp3
i hear it also with the warning default sound when i open the radio without connect the antenna.

I have the same problem with your ringtone, but the MIDI was even worse Note that I had that problem too just previewing the file... The second preview was ok, must be some kind of cache miss or so?
Hello everyone!
Today I bought Z5 and I already love it! But... someting's wrong.
When I listen to music etc, the volume of the speakers is loud enough.
Though when someone's calling me, the ringtone barely sounds.
When I preview it while selecting it, it sounds loud enough (for a Z phone).
I'm on 32.0.A.6.152.
Do you what's going on?
PS. Sorry for my bad english...
Separate volume controls for media, alarm and ringtone. Check to see if your ringtone volume is all the way up. English is excellent, by the way.

I already repaired it twice via PC Companion and I even installed version .200 customized UK since Customized GR (where I'm from) is stuck on .152
It's always the same.
SMS, e-mails, Music are ok. Only calls. Even when I'm sliding the ring volume to maximum, for like 500msec it sounds loud and suddenly the volume's becoming lower, thought the bar stays to maximum.
I don't believe it's the device's problem, because the speakers are working perfectly on everything else.
I tried PCC and xproof-flashtool, I changed and tried all possible (maybe) settings, but nothing.
Happy New Year everybody!!!
I don't know what happened, but it got fixed by itself.
I didn't do anything. I just left it and went to sleep.
I woke up and tested it and it's working fine!

Good news
Low volume in call
Searched this Low volume in call a lot and found no answer. Then tried uninstalling all apps that had anything to do with volume.
In call audio is ok now after reboot.
I have the same issue, The volume is really really low. Initially it starts okay and then it just decreases so fast. But when I play some music the volume totally fine.
Hope to see a fix in future updates.

It got fixed by itself. Sony said that this is normal.
Just wait some hours.
I didn't get used to it because it's still low. The same low as playing music.
Hey friends,
Now you can skip tracks with volume keys without root using Frinky Music Controller.
It was driving me insane when I had to unlock screen just to skip some tracks and I could not find any app which solves my problem smoothly so I developed one to do this .

Works very well, as developer promised, but will be better if you keep pressed the volume button to change track instead of single press to do that. It's a bit annoying at least for me hahahaha
Anyway, keep on dev. you did a great job for non rooted devices!

I would have done that if possible, but it is not possible to detect long press of volume keys in non rooted android devices . User will have to use it for atleast 2 days to master it.
