I usually have a static signal/sound (clicking loud!!) whenever there is high pitch (like a loud voice) from the caller.

Is my speaker busted? what should i do. My xda mini is just 2 months old.

In the registry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Builtin\WaveDev"

Try changing the value from parameter "Priority256" from 100 to 80 (hexa)

I've read in some threads that a radio is enough. Do some search and you might find a proper explanation.

I'm no expert yet on this unit since I had mine for a week only, I immediately upgraded to ROM 1.11 (full) and already noticed a difference.

Try first the reg hack mentioned by pms and if it does not improve then upgrade the radio

pms and zerimar,

At priority256 the hexa (base) is 6E while the deci is110.
If I change the Hexa at 80, the deci becomes 128.
If I change the deci at 80, the hexa becomes 50.

Which should I do?

What I did is to do the hexa at 80 and the deci becomes 128. As a result, the Priority256 = 0x80 (128). I hope this is correct.

zerimar,

Can you post the thread you followed when you did the upgrade? I am a bit confused.
Thanks.

That is correct! Put the priority to 80 (hex) or 128 (deci)!

That has solved all my cracking noises....

Thanks man,

That was great. It solved my problem. I thought it was a hardware issue as stated in the other thread. I will post you of its effects if ever it has.

See you around and more power.

Hi,

Just to confirm for improved audio:

Priority256 128(0x000080)

I have a document that suggests the following:

Audio Tweak (thanks to Uniquexme)
Audio Tweak enhances the speaker performance of the O2 Mini (some devices have this set to a lesser priority and by using this you get better sound, if your device is already set to a high level you have no need for this)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\Priorit y256
Default: 110
Changed to: 80
