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.

Anyone tryed these allready?
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

yes it's work in my TP there is significant increasing volume hope not break my speaker
As we all know the volumes on the XZ1C are very low especially the loudspeaker , feels bad when your are on Call or Music with loudspeaker and when the Mic sensitivity is low when the phone is not near the mouth.
I have done some changes in Mixer_Path.xml which helped to increase volumes.
Hope that helps Z1C owners who need only some boost in sounds rather than third party custom sound mods.
Device must be on stock KK rooted and this also may work on XZ1
INSTRUCTIONS:
PLACE THE MIXER_PATHS.XML FILE IN SYSTEM/ETC DIRECTORY WITH 0644(RW-R--R--) PERMISSIONS AND REBOOT
Hit Thanks if you liked it
I'm on lasted Stock KK,Rooted + Odex, but i cannot flash this mod via TWRP.

Hi! Would you care to prepare one XML without the loudspeaker's modification? It's distorted on 60% already.
The headphones's volume is much better though, thanks!

Speaker section in that XML is what impacts the call loudspeaker and music loudspeaker together.
Let know what you want !!
I tried to go through the xml but I can't find the speaker section to change the values.
All I need is what I said earlier: stock loudspeaker volume, because it is distorted around 60% volume already. Thanks!

If you want stock, use the stock file in OP .
Noo, I need something inbetween
The headphones are loud enough now, and I like it. I'd want the loudspeaker on stock volumes as it gets distorted. Help is much appreciated

check this file ,speaker is reduced a bit.
Better, thanks very much!
Thanks for this, this phone is now perfect, headphone volume is spot on, I don't know if the speaker is a bit to loud though, on full volume the phone is vibrating with the sound and u can actually feel the air being blown out of the speaker grill! In the 2nd file u posted above is the headset volume still the same and just speaker a bit lower?

This mod is brought to you by @langeveld024! If you like it, make sure you thank one of his posts as well. I have just tested the mod and modified the volumes to match our device.
Surround Sound/True Stereo MOD for the LG G2
This MOD requires ROOT
What is this?
This is a mod that allows the phone to use the earpiece combined with the loudspeaker to play sounds and music, thus resulting in a surround sound-like effect. The mod is made by editing mixer_paths.xml
Is it safe?
I've been thoroughly testing it on my LG G2 running OptimusG3 1.4.1 and CloudyG3 2.1. I tuned the sound to what I think the earpiece can handle without getting damaged. The earpiece is very clear and produces wonderful sound, but it's not that loud at all.
Other members of this fantastic community have tested the MOD on LiquidSmooth 4.0 (Lollipop) and on Stock LG firmware and reported that it works flawlessly!
Installation instructions
1. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP - PLEASE! This mod has ONLY been tested on OptimusG3 1.4.1 and not on any other ROM. So please make a nandroid so you can restore your phone in case it goes sour! I may be able to provide a flashable zip in the future, but till then, make a nandroid!
2. Copy your current mixer_paths.xml from /system/etc to somewhere safe then download mixer_paths.xml.
3. Move it to /system/etc and give it 644 permissions. 644 permissions looks like this:
xxo
xoo
xoo
4. Reboot and enjoy surround sound.
General piece of recommendation - Use this mod in conjunction with dorimanx kernel, as dorimanx kernel allows you to tune the loudspeaker volume easily using STweaks. You may need to turn down the volume quite a bit (-10 in STweaks) to avoid the loudspeaker overruling the earpiece. But then you'll really notice the mod!
Test the mod
To test if this works see: Left/Right Stereo Audio/Visual Test.: http://youtu.be/dvqbq_0jZ_U
I don't like this, what do I do?
Just move the original mixer_paths.xml that you copied to somewhere safe back into /system/etc and overwrite the old file. Then reboot.

reminded me of a classic acid techno track from the 90's
http://youtu.be/-YNW8Azq9TA
btw working nice on cloudy g3 2.1 with dorimanx kernel (stweaks sound settings on a screenshot, i tried to equalize both "speakers" as much as possible)
as you can see, main speaker gain is at its lowest setting (-10 vol)
btw do you think this mod will somehow affect in-call volumes? (mic & speaker)
btw i hope @dorimanx can somehow include this mod in stweaks as well...
only downside to this is that i mostly rotate my device 90ccw so left and right channels are switched but no biggie...
and i wouldn't call this "surround". something like "true stereo" would be closer
i tried a few sound tests on youtube and it really sounds better with this mod... music as well...
yeah cool mod, only downside the difference between the two speakers. The small one distorts easily, but indeed stweaks can help with that.

Thanks for the nice feedback.
I forgot to add to add that to the OP, as I use the exact same settings as you do in STweaks.
This mod shouldn't affect in call volume since it's made by copying headphone path into the speaker path and using the earpiece, so the earpiece only lines are left untouched.
I also rotate my device 90 degrees ccw and when I do that, my left speaker is the earpiece and right speaker is the loudspeaker. It might be different between cloudyG3 and optimusg3.
I really want some feedback from people who are using stock based ROMS.
-as for the loudspeaker volume, it's a thing that I need to consider. If I turn it down too low to achieve 'true stereo' i think people will complain that their overall sound is too low. And if I don't only people with dorimanx kernel will be able to tune the volume easily.
Then just suggest everyone should install dorimanx, simple as that

i'd always give my vote to clearer, better sound than giving it to a louder sound...
even though - the sound isn't that low with those settings (-10) it somehow just feels right now...

That's exactly my experience as well! So I think it's safe to say that this mod works for G3 based roms but for optimal sound quality, you need to use dorimanx kernel and turn down speaker volume to -10.

I just flashed CloudyG3 2.1 to check what you said about left/right right/left You're completely right about it being changed. I'm on it =D

One of the reasons I came back to CloudyG3 was specifically to address this issue So don't tell me I don't have to bother It's hard to change a routine Anyway, once again thanks to @langeveld024 this mod should work flawlessly on CloudyG3!

ok mate i just wanted to save you a bit of work
btw i forgot to mention
yesterday when i downloaded the file using the mobile device - it downloaded some kind of a ".bin" document (but i renamed it to "mixer-paths.xml" and everything was ok)
now i downloaded the new (cloudy) version from my PC - filename is correct...
just mentioning this to help someone if he/she got confused with the filenames (it's obviously some dropbox/android/android browser issue)
cheers, and thanks a bunch again
---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------
update:
i've installed the new xml, but the left channel is still right when rotated ccw (counter-clockwise)
it's ok when in cw (clockwise) rotation...
Requirements:
1. Root
2. X-plore or any other file manager with root access
Procedure:
1. Extract and replace "mixer_paths.xml" in root/system/etc
2. Change the permissions to rw-r--r--
3. Restart your mobile
Note:
I won't be responsible if anything goes wrong.
I'm also providing the stock xml file if you want to revert back to the original settings.
Thanks to AndroPlus for providing custom kernel & recovery for the Z5P Dual.
***Version 2 added with sound from both speakers in speaker mode during a voice call***
Thanks!
As soon as I want to go full volume the music stops. I use music player app with podcast and I let the music play as soon as the aux cable plugs in.

It seems like it goes off automatically because of security? Maybe because the device "thinks" I'm using headphones and it will damage my ears when I set the volume this high. I'm using the aux cable for in my car.

Yes, maybe so. What happens if you don't turn it up to the full volume, I mean at 90 percent volume.
If I turn it up to 90 there is no problem

i just tested your soundmod, i think the speaker's have a hardware-security-function because at full volume the speaker's are about 2 sec loud and then somehow again a bit more quiet something like a protecting feature, can't say if it is software-limited or hardware-limited.

Can you take a screenshot of the settings you changed? That way, people can change them on their own until they find the best setting for their phone and earbuds
Is your Mod is Stereo also for Incoming call ringtones ?
I Mean is Ringtone sound comes from both speaker for incoming Call & Notifications Sound ?
Yes, both speakers play the ringtone. Sound from the bottom speaker is louder than the top one.

Why not use this name.
If not change the name then i will not publish my soundmod here in future.

I have oneplus one i opened it just out of curiosity and i broke(scrapped off) 3 diod from main chip-set placed just above mic flex cable connection slot. My mic stopped working. while recording video i get beep sound + my sound but while calling i only get beep sound. I dont think hardware repair is possible so i was wondering if there is any software way to make other mics as primary (any specific ROM that offers this or any other manual coding method)?

I'm looking at my theory.. The threads are in conjunction to low mic volume, but if you alter the path, you may be able to change the input source..

You can always rub your finger over the mic. If the noise is low, it`s not that mic that is being used.

nice thought
How did the script run???
I have the same exact problem. My HTC One main mic has been damaged, whenever Im on call the other end only gets the static noise but can hear clearly in loudspeaker mode (ie from my secondary mic), is there a way to disable the primary mic and make the secondary mic as primary ??
