There's an option in call settings for "Hearing aids" that says it'll bump up in-call volume. Haven't used it yet, so I don't know how well it works.
Granted I'm guessing it's -only- for phone calls, so for music/video playback I don't have an answer for you unfortunately.

Do you mean the speaker is as low as other HTC?
I thought it will be better than DHD and N1...

volume sucks
Low volume is one of the issues that bugs me with Sensation. The ring volume is low even at max and volume trough headphones is way too low.
This needs to be addressed by HTC ASAP in their new ROM.

The Stock music app has a feature called "SRS enhancement" It helps with the sound quality tremendously! It can be used either while listening to music or with the stock video player.

I've had good results from an app called Equalizer.

I changed the hearing aids setting and it has helped a lot for calls.

The "hearing aid" option does help out with the volume not just for calls but all other audio output as well. I guess I must be hard of hearing (by HTC's standards) because I really don't understand why the phone had such a low volume setting to begin with.

Well let's hope the Volume+ developer get it to work with the Sensation. I Just send him an email....

Hearing Aid is annoying because it doesn't help with speakerphone AND you can't lower the volume!

I installed volume+ today and it makes huge difference in sound quality
I think it is now supportable to HTC sensation
Thanks to its developer

[Q] Skype sound is very very weak..

Hi
Anybody have issue with Skype on Asus Transformer Prime 1.7 Final ?
Somehow for me the sound is very very very very very weak even I am using head phone also very weak.
But all other apps and music working normal it just the left and right speaker is not balanced but again is really weak....is it just for my TF or other people also experiencing the same problem ?
Thanks.

Not to sound rude, but do you have both volume controls turned up?

Thanks for replying but I already try to increase any volume I can found by using the side volume rocker or using docking volume up and also try to search skype option but cannot found any volume configuration.
Btw sorry again as I remember I only do wipe all when I install prime 1.6 and when I upgrade to prime 1.7 I just install it without wipe all is that gonna be an issue ?
I am thinking do wipe all and re install everything from scratch if nobody having the same issue with me ^_^.
Again thank you very much for your help.
ok In progress wipe all and re install everything again, if it fix my problem will update here again ^_^
ok finish wipe all data and also wipe cache partition ( thats the only wipe option I can found on recovery ) and after that.....still the same issue I already set all volume to max and yet my skype voice call is still whispering T_T but all other apps and music and other games sounds is loud and normal T_T.

T_T just to ask again is there anybody out there using their Transformer for skype voice call and their sound is good loud n clear ? because mine is really whispering I dont even can hear the call tone if my ear distance to transformer more than 5 cm .......

You can use gtalk or fring, i have the same problem with skype but on the other two platforms, it's all ok, good sound, good quality.

finally thats the answer i am waiting, so my TF is normal its skype issue.
Thank to confirm that. Btw I already try to wipe all 2x hahaha. Thx again Ademaren

I'm also using Prime and have the same issue with sound. The sound output with skype is just extremely low! I also have a kernel with voodoo support and it didn't help.
Did anyone find a solution for this issue?

volume control + from the market seemed to do the trick for me.

This solved my problem!
I saw that I had the volume for calling muted and the ring volume was also on leve 1 or 2.
Thanks

[Q] Asus TF101 Problem with Google+ Hangouts

As we all know, Google updated their Google+ app to include the ability to start and join mobile hangouts from within the messenger portion of the Google+ app. And the good news is that I can get in to the video chats. I can hear the other person talking and everything. The only thing that is bad is that the other people cannot hear me. When I check the little microphone icon in the bottom left to see if maybe I have it disabled, it seems that it is by default set to disabled and I cannot change it. I double checked to see if my microphone was faulty but the sound recorder app works fine. Anyone have any resolutions? I've been searching the internet up and down and can't find anything.
I don't know if I'm the only one with this problem but I hope not and hope someone can help.

Nothing? I'm desperate here...

I've also experienced this Google + Hangout bug with the TF101 Asus Transformer but have discovered a work around.
During the "Check your hair" screen, before entering a Hangout, click the mic icon to mute, then enter the hangout. Once in the hangout you regain the ability to unmute the mic by pressing on the mic icon again.
Very odd bug. Thought my mic was broken so tried a ton of tests.

I am so happy that it can be "fixed" by something so simple. you are awesome!

I got the same problem since the TF101 auto update.

I have no video on the TF101 when hangout. Audio works fine always, and people can see me, but I see nobody and just can hear them.
I have Revolver Rom, I'll give a try to another roms to see it...

[APP] Earpiece: boost audio, play through earpiece

I wanted an app to play audio through a phone earpiece, so that if I didn't take my headphones somewhere, I could still listen to an audio book as if I was on the phone. So I made a very simple app that toggles whether sound comes from the earpiece or the speaker: Earpiece.
Currently alpha, or maybe early beta, quality. Works on my Epic 4G Touch. Don't know how many other phones it'll work for. (Interestingly, I also noticed that if I have earphones plugged in and I select earpiece mode, then the volume goes up a little. I am curious if this happens for other users)
I also wanted an app that would let me boost the audio volume, so I added that functionality to Earpiece while I was at it (Android 2.3+ only, should work even on devices like tablets that don't have an earpiece). I know there are such apps (Volume+ seems to be the most popular one), but why have a separate app for this?
You can set Earpiece to show up when you long-press the search key. (I don't use this feature myself. Instead, I have another simple app that pops up a menu of my favorite apps when I long-press the search key, and I use that to launch Earpiece.)

With what settings in Earpiece?
I would expect the Boost setting to interfere with DSP Manager, since both apps would be trying to do the same thing.

Thanks! Tell me more. How did you test it?
Here's how I test. I start an audio book playing in Mortplayer, and then go to Earpiece, and toggle the Earpiece checkmark.

Clever idea, thanks!
Works perfectly on my HTC EVO 3D ICS 4.0.3 leak, boost as well - even the feeble speaker becomes louder
Cheers

Works perfectly on ZTE Blade.

It looks like the person on the other end of the line is just talking your ear off and not letting you get a word in.
Question: Should I activate the proximity sensor in Earpiece mode, and turn the device screen off and on based on closeness to the face?

Thats great idea. Im using this in sgs2 running aokp.

I just posted 0.02 with proximity sensor support.

Screen off while close to face is default for phone calls on my htc, saves lots! of battery during long talks.
So, yes, please
Workaround so far: With screen off manually (power button), sound plays nicely in the background.
Thanks and Cheers!
EDIT: Too fast for me Thanks again!

Did this happen with the previous version?
Can you send me a log after the crash? Install Log Collector, then do the crash again, and then go to Log Collector to email the log to arpruss at gmail dot com.

My ICS has a not stable beats installed, deactivated it, now works flawless
Noticed that the "Volume up/down" beeps don't get routed through earpeace, which is fine with me. Probably, because it's not a media volume sound?
Cheers!

You mean, for greater volume?
I doubt it, but I can experiment and see. Might actually be hard to tell if it's working, because the earpiece speaker will be drowned out by the main speaker.

I just posted 0.03.
It switches to the earpiece using a slightly different method. I'd appreciate reports whether it works for people.
By the way, no luck routing audio to BOTH the speaker and the earpiece at the same time.

I posted a release in the Market.
The release version carries one text ad on the screen, for my paid products. If the ad annoys you, just buy any of my paid products and the ad will disappear. Or just use a pre-release version.

Cool thing I found. If you turn on Earpiece while in Camera, the camera sound gets routed to the earpiece, and hence is very quiet, at least in my Epic 4G Touch.
(I know there are root-based solutions to the camera sound issue, but I haven't rooted my phone yet--I haven't found a way to do it that's both safe and doesn't involve copyright problems, like downloading unauthorized copies of parts of ROMs.)

I posted 1.01 in the Market and on the google code page. If you press MENU, you can go to Settings and select whether you want the status bar notification always, only when the background service is running, or never. The "never" is attractive if you don't like clutter, but unfortunately it allows the OS to kill Earpiece's proximity sensor and boost features (they need the background service) when the OS runs out of memory. Still, it's up to the user.
I am kind of excited by my discovery that earpiece mode makes the camera sound come out of the earpiece and hence be very quiet. I've experimented some more, and when I combine this with a negative volume boost, I can make the camera sound almost inaudible--probably inaudible to anybody more than two feet away except in an almost perfectly silent environment. Of course, for rooted devices there are ways of turning it off entirely, but I don't have root, and I want to be able to take pictures without disturbing people.

[Q] Version of the Volume+ (or similar) that works with Jelly Bean? (4.1.2)

Apparently Volume+ doesn't work with Jelly Bean - Anyone found a replacement? I hear the dev is working on a version that will work with JB, but need something in the interim. So quiet!

Yes, the sound is nearly unusable for watching movies on an airplane with headphones. And the built in speaker has a really hard time filling a quiet room :S

There's a lot of apps that can boost the media volume, including Volume+. I think the problem with Volume+ on JB I'd that it doesn't boost the phone call volume, which probably isn't a problem for most tab users...

Volume+ seems like it is working for me.

Volume+ was the culprit of multiple reboots on my device. Everytime i would play a movie or listen to music, the device would reboot. I didnt figure this out until recently. I uninstalled volume+ last weekend and my tablet hasnt rebooted one time.

volume+ works for me on JB but not in Netflix app

I'm using Music Volume to make the sound loud enough for .mkv movies. (click on the EQ button and slide all sliders to the top.) Note, you have to "long press" the close button to actually exit or stop the program as it runs in the background normally.
Then I use Volume In Notification so I can control the voulme from the notification bar, ... duh , during movies or anytime without exiting an application.
