I've been playing with mixer paths and have set some values from 84 to 93 to 98 (not 100).
So far, my bottom speakers would be clear and very loud during a speaker call, but if I later tried to play music, it gets super distorted at max volume and I have to turn it down to about 50%.
What are you numbers that you guys have set for the perfect balance of volume and distortion?
Post those screen shots!
Thanks!

Can you tell me how many speakers 8310 has? When I play mp3 song from it (192Kbps), it plays sound from the speaker which is used for conversation. And the sound is not very loud (earpeace volume is set to maximum).
Is there only one speaker present? Should I avoid playing music, in order to keep the quality of the speaker on the level it is now, since I don't want to loose conversation sound quality?
Tornado has just one internal speaker
This is not true, it has two of them, one for the earpiece (very tiny) and one for the speakerphone, also used for the ringer. Just search the net for photos of disassembled Tornados or other HTC smartphones.
If you play music and do not have the headset connected, then the bigger speaker is used - and you can't kill it by playing music. The smaller one is only used for phone conversations. The volume level label "earpiece volume" is misleading - it always levels the complete system output audio level (it seems to be stored separately per profile or per situation, e.g. "in call" is remembered separately). It is usually set to full level. Applications (like media player) should not adjust this master volume, but their own playback volume only.
I just got a converter to get my headphones connected to the Fuze and noticed that Volume is waaay up. In fact, to listen to music comfortably I have to set the volume (using side buttons, and then fingers to tap) to about 1-2 lines in the meter.
Did anybody find a better solution for a more convenient volume control? Or maybe changing the volume meter sensitivity?
Anyone? maybe there's a reg. setting that can be used to lower the volume?
I used the equalizer and turned everything down.
If you have the advanced config tool installed there is a setting for media manager volume. I have mine set at 25% and it is still plenty loud enough.
Check:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Audiomanger_eng/Config/Music_player_volumn
And set it to the desired level.
100 is full.
0 is off.
I used MP3Gain to set my average music volume to 89.0 Db, without clipping.
Volume I needed to put it to was about 80.
With MP3's straight from the rip with windows media player I used 60.
is anyone hearing cracking and distortion from loudspeaker when playing music/or receiving incoming calla - at volumes above 50-60%?
the same thing is happening in earpiece (when volume is above 60%)
I have singapoure software, so is this common problem, or some hardware malfunction? :/
try to use 256 kbps audio mp3 or mp3 with higher quality...
i turn the volume to 100% still no distortion from my xt720...
No distortion to me at all.
I think it's individual
So I only noticed just now the Nexus 5 did not come with any earbuds. I have been using some cheap Skullcandy earbuds for music and they are decent enough to block out transit noise and play music at a moderate volume. However when I try making a phone call, at the lowest volume the sound is just ridiculously loud. It is painful for me to attempt to listen to more then 10-15 seconds of call audio wearing these. I also tried with my Galaxy Nexus earbuds, and it's the same story.
Has anyone found a pair of earbuds with mic that delivers gentle, quiet call audio at the lowest call volume of the Nexus 5 on stock ROM? Failing that, is there anything I can do to decrease the headset call volume further than the volume control will allow?
Bump, anyone else experiencing this? It shouldn't be deafening to make a phone call with earbuds...
OK I'm going to bump this again. It got WAY worse on 4.4.1. While I appreciate the volume boost for the phone's speaker, the earbud volume situation is out of control. The lowest volume setting on music, in a quiet room, is the loudest I can tolerate on earbuds - no option of turning it down lower. The lowest volume setting on phone calls is earth-shattering on earbuds - completely unusable for conversations unless I want to go deaf.
Is there ANY way I can force call volume down further on the headphone jack? Hacks, kernels, Xposed modules? I really don't want to be locked out of being able to make calls with earbuds.
All perfect with 4.4.1, skullcandy have a very bad quality earbuds, better buy sennheiser.

The sound quality is great, it's just too damn loud. Same with the earbuds that came with my Galaxy Nexus.
The call volume is ridiculously out of proportion with music volume. That is not the fault of the earbuds. The OS should not be pushing out call volume significantly louder than the music volume at a comparable setting.
OK, so a friendly individual in the Franco thread directed me to this:

I simply used the same instructions for the mod but reduced the number rather than increase it. For call volume, the value that I changed was under path name "voice-headphones". The original setting was 20 and 20 for HPHL and HPHR volume. I turned them down to 05. I thought I heard a reduction from 20 to 10 but did not hear any further reduction from 10 to 05. Then I also tried reducing the RX1 and RX2 digital volume. I tried taking them from 84 down to 64 which was maybe a bit low, so I settled on 70. At that setting, the loudest IVR systems I've reached on the phone are just right at the lowest call volume setting, and I still have room to raise the volume in noisier environments.
Anyone here having problem on the speaker? When i test ringtone in sound picker and try classic phone or cassiopeia there something weird sound in my speaker
Yes I do too
What kind of sound? Like a distortion you mean? At maximum volume?
I think he means that vibration or something loose like sound that comes on certain frequencies. I only get it in calls at full volume sometimes but not with music playing.
Ah yes for calls it might happen. But if you are listening to music with a high bitrate (high quality), you should not hear any other noises. Because low bitrates (low quality) music can make weird noises at high volume.
