Howto boost sound volume

[smartphoneinfo]

I have a MDA Vario. I would like to boost the sound volume. Is it possible to boost the volume in the windows register?

Thnx

[smartphoneinfo]

I found some keys. The keys:

\\\registry\HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN(x)\

Speaker uplink volume
Headset uplink volume

Where (x) is nothing or 0, 1, 2

My speuker uplink volume was set at 26, I change that with 50, I think my speaker goes a bit harder, but I'm not sure..

Does anyone know if it really works, or has different techhnics?

edit which one ? AUDIOGAIN or AUDIOGAIN0/1/2 ???

[rookery]

Any tweak available ? I have just installed the MS Voice Command, but the voice come out from the wizard is too quiet, I cannot hear clearly even I set the volume to MAX, I believe there should be some reg key can make it louder, and also the mic gain level, THanks if someone knows and post here.

I agree. I would really be interested in learning how to make MS Voice Command louder without impacting system sound (if possible).

i've had problems with microphone in my wizard. basically, people complained, that they can't hear me very well. i also found these registry keys, did some tests and changed RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME and EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME values to CC. after that change, microphone sensitivity got better and didn't receive any more complaints.

[gepol]

Eva_d,

What do you mean CC?

I have "0000 18" and "0000 19" repsectively.

Regards

[eva_d]

What do you mean CC?

CCh = 204d :)

[gepol]

You still speak chinese :P

What do I change?

The "18" with 204d???

[gepol]

You still speak chinese :P

.....and in any case I change something it cames back without taking any changes ...

[lezink]

to have MS Voice Command woman speak louder, edit these keys :

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\VoiceCommand1\In itVol
and set it to 5

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\VoiceCommand1\At tenuationCategory
and set it to 1

at least it worked for me (and for others from who I took this tweak)

good luck

[eva_d]

You still speak chinese :P

What do I change?

The "18" with 204d???

no, change '18' to 'cc'. these values are hexadecimal.

[gepol]

You still speak chinese :P

What do I change?

The "18" with 204d???

no, change '18' to 'cc'. these values are hexadecimal.

I do , but it ignores me and returns to 18 again. What am I doing wrong?

same problem here, also I cannot get the following to work, (UPDATED) I can change the setting but using the DONE from the softkey, not the OK on the top.

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\VoiceCommand1\In itVol
and set it to 5

On my 9100, it is already 5

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\VoiceCommand1\At tenuationCategory
and set it to 1

changed it to 1 and softreset, cannot note any louder..... am I missing something ? :(

at least it worked for me (and for others from who I took this tweak)

can you post the link to the others forum so we can have more info???? Thanks a lot.

i never had problems with reghacks returning to its previous value, so i'm not sure how can i help you. maybe you should try to switch off (i mean holding power button for more than 2-3 seconds) and on device than soft-reset it with stylus? that's what i always do and maybe this is right solution?

I found a way through this, but please tell me... which setting did you tamper with?

AUDIOGAIN ?
AUDIOGAIN0 ?
AUDIOGAIN1 ?
AUDIOGAIN2 ?

To all?

Thanks

Sound really louder than before ???

[eva_d]

Sound really louder than before ???

yep, i can confirm that. i've upgraded my wizard with newest i-mate rom two days ago. i didn't make any changes to AUDIOGAIN registry keys and called my friend to ask how he can hear me. he said it's ok, but bit too quiet. so i've changed EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME and RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME values to 'cc' (hex value). i called the same friend again and he said that my voice is now noticeably louder and clearer. :)

[smartphoneinfo]

I just installed the lastest Imate Rom. My speaker volume is a bit louder as my T-mobile 1.6.2.x NL. I can hear the difference.

Does anyone know witch key I can change to improve the local volume?

Thanx

[Warez]

I read and re-read this thread, but I beleive I'm still a bit confused.
(Btw, my phone is an 8125.)
My problem is the opposite of most... when on a phonecall, the volume is too loud... either using the speaker or holding the phone up to my ear.

In AUDIOGAIN, AUDIOGAIN1, and AUDIOGAIN2, I edited:
- EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME
- RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME
- SPEAKER_UPLINK_VOLUME
changing them to 01. But this made absolutely no change to the volume during a phonecall.

Did I miss something? Is there another entry I need to modify?

Thanks...

[kristiandg]

Where are the Earphone Uplink keys?

[Pmavrovic]

I am new to these forums also, and I have alraady applied the CC fix for the microphone in the MDA. That is AWESOME BTW!!!!

I just need to get a fix to raise the built in phone speaker ( in between the 2 flashing lights) to go higher.

Any ideas on the tweaks to get the volume a bit higher?

I live in a noisy enviroment and many times when i am on the street, I simply cannot hear anything throuh the built in ear speaker.

Thanks.

How do I change a binary entry into hex?

@eva_d:

How do I change a binary entry into hex?

i'm not quite sure as i'm using PHM Regedit to change registry values:

[norad]

Will these changes also affect my BT headset? Or are they are just for the internal mic and speaker?

[DocteurN]

Anyone has tried this hack with Resco Registry Editor ?
They wrote '0000 CC' or 'CC' instead of '0000 19' ?

[eva_d]

for BT headset i've changed HEADSET_UPLINK_VOLUME value to DD. so far it works ok.

[molski]

AUDIOGAIN ?
AUDIOGAIN0 ?
AUDIOGAIN1 ?
AUDIOGAIN2 ?

To all?

yep, all of them.

I changed the settings for these values in all the AUDIOGAIN(x) keys to CC and I can clearly hear that everything is louder. Maybe it's just me, but my ringtones/music sound louder, and making/receiving phonecalls is clearer (on the latest Dutch Qtek ROM).
I used Resco Registry Editor and just changed the 18 and 19 values in CC.

- EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME
- RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME

[greg3d]

Can someone please post what the tree structure for the keys/values are for all the audiogain(x) entries in the registry?

I'm using an HTC Apache and don't have these in my registry. I'd like to try and see if by adding these we can have the same increased volume benefits.

Thanks

[bnycastro]

greg3d

hope this helps. exported reg entrires using resco explorer

[greg3d]

Thanks Bny. I didn't notice anything different after importing into my registry.

I appreciate you taking the time to get these up here. At least someone with a wizard has a nice little backup they can import now.

Regards

[bnycastro]

yeah i did the reg edit and did not notice any difference as well... :( maybe it is more psychological?

[earwig]

I have a Cingular 8125 and I am getting complaints that I can't be heard very well on the other end. Judging from this thread, it appears that the microphone settings need tweaking. So I installed PHM REGEDIT on my phone and started looking around for where I might make a change to help increase the microphone sensitivity. This is what I found:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Control Panel
Microphone AGC

Name Data
Group 1(0X000001)

Is this the right area to make a change? If so, what do I change? I'm a noob so this isn't something that I'm very familiar with and any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

This hack works so well on my Qtek 9100 that my wife has to decrease the volume of his phone when I called her yesterday :D

Hello, which hack are you refering to? There is couple of option here. I have the same problem as well on my Mini S, Other side cant really listen to me clearly.
Thanks!

[VOODOOS!L]

could someone please post ALL the default values within \\\registry\HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN(x)\

I made some changes there, and now I can't hear anything anymore thur my speakers (thru headset everything still works)


thanks!!

I was talking about the AUDIOGAIN(x) hack

[waiho]

Hello,

So far how many people think that this tweaks working perfectly without failure and need to restore back to default setting?

[Pda-usr]

works nicely on my PDA ;) The most important thing was to increase the ringtone sound, and it worked.

[dkurk]

Any thoughts on how to increase music playback volume in windows media player? Like my classic rock louder than what I hear through my headset and MDA.

[oo3]

well i tried setting the headset volume to DD. i use the moto hs850 and the volume is a little bit better, but now i hear a crackling noise through the earpiece.

the razr has a similar tweak you can do to make the headset louder and it worked great. i'm not sure why it's not the same for the wizard.

any input on what i can do to make it better?

[integro]

Will these changes also affect my BT headset? Or are they are just for the internal mic and speaker?

I tried it without effect. I am trying to influence the mic level of my bluetooth headset because it is really low, but without any effect.

[araje]

It Works, it works it works ... :)
thanks eva_d


Well, I was looking for a solution on this one for a long time. Now that I am too excited, I am tempted to ask my next question.

From whatever the other person could hear before I applied this fix, he told me that along with the static, he could also hear his echo. Now with this fix, the static is gone for good, but the echo is still here. Like, when I am on the speaker, the other person hears his own voice too. Dont know how its connected but the problems goes off when I switch to normal headphone.

Any idea on this one ? Has anyone faced this problem ? Could it be network dependent. I am on cingular here.

Thanks again, eva_d

i never had 'echo' issue with mine wizard..

[nigelquest]

I used this "hack" and now my microphone is so sensitive people on the other end say I should distorted and too loud even in a normal tone of voice and if I am in a noisy area I cant use the phone at all from the background noise. Its even hard to use in my car since the mic picks up so much road noise. Does anyone have the default values to change it back. I saw the reg edit file, but I am not sure how to use it. I placed it on my device, but could not get it to execute. Thanks for any help!

[smartphoneinfo]

Hello I have found a new trick to get a louder sound. You have to use Mortplayer, its an advanced MP3 / wma player for Windows CE with extra sound improvement functions. link:

http://www.sto-helit.de/modules/wmpdownloads/

Also a nice Ipod skin for Mortplayer ;)

original values are 13 and/or 18 (hexadecimal values), i don't remember exactly now.

btw, did you change mentioned values co CC in each AUDIOGAINx key?

I'm having the same problem as you. Some of my callers are so loud, i have to hold my phone at arms lenght so they don't hurt my ears, and my volume is at the lowest level. I have not changed any of the AUDIOGAIN settings.

[DONOMAR]

PLEASE I AM TOTALLY LOST, IM NEW TO THIS FORUM.
A NEED STEP 1 THROUGH LAST I HAVE THE MDA FOR T-MOBILE AND THE SPEAKER, IS LOW AND ALSO WHEN I TALK TO SOMEONE IS ALSO LOW

THANKS A MILLION :oops:

[vax]

I only changed the AUDIOGAIN key (not 0,1,2) and it works really better!

I even had to use BB instead of CC...

[thisisunique]

Didn't get much of an answer out of my own thread so i'll ask here, how can you increase the volume for the speaker at the top of the phone in between the blinking lights? (aka phone call speaker, whatever technical name you could use)

This AUDIOGAIN settings seem to only increase the volume of my ringtones, music, alerts, when I have the headset plugged in and not that speaker itself.

ANY IDEAS?!

[cruiserman]

I looked through this thread, but couldn't find a specific referance to increasing speakerphone volume. Does any of these tweaks address the speakerphone itself? If so, which ones?

Thanks,

C

[asrulz]

can anyone explain what are these things for?

- earphone uplink volume
- headset uplink volume
- receive uplink volume
- speaker uplink volume

[jthornburgh]

Does anybody know what the diffrence between these settings are?

AUDIOGAIN
AUDIOGAIN(0)
AUDIOGAIN(1)
AUDIOGAIN(2)

Are the the settings for places along the volume slider? or do they affect diffrent sounds?

[LeoPheonix]

I applied the Audigain fix as described. I did this because I found the earpiece volume was too low on my Qtek S200 (2.9.7.24). The Microphone sensitivity incresed so much I had to reset the values. No difference was made to the earpiec volume though.

I find making phonecalls the sound from the earpiece is low and poor quality too.

Is this something that could be fixed by a ROM upgrade or a hack?

Thanks All

[kenli729]

I too have applied the changes to the AUDIOGAIN(x) and have noticed little change in the earpiece volume. Which tweaks in specific can be changed? (i.e. earpiece uplink, receive uplink?)

Can it be adjusted to DD from CC ? I ask because i actually have no idea what the letters mean.

Many thanks for any help.
I'm using a Tmobile MDA (US)

[eva_d]

these 'letters' are actually hexadecimal numbers. you can use simple calc.exe to convert it to decimal value. ;) i.e. CCh = 204d

[guyver2077]

im still alittle confused and im having same problems as a few earlier posters..

im using phm reg edit

my receive uplink volume is at 18. when i click on "modify binary data"..its by default on value type=reg_binary

do i just type in "CC"over the 18 since i cant type it in lower case?

[eva_d]

yes, just type CC over 18 and that's it.

Hi, I am using Jabra BT620s handsfree, have the same problem with low mic gain. I put in every AUDIOGAIN(x) key new HANDFREE_UPLINK_VOLUME parameter with FF value. Mic sounds better now in my opinion, could anybody else confirm if mic volume increased in other BT handsfree?

i've also increased HANDSFREE_UPLINK_VOLUME, i guess volume's better, i can hear people well and i don't have any complaints from others. i'm using Siemens HHB-600 headset.

I was thinking about HANDFREE_, not HANDSFREE_. But it is good if HANDSFREE_ key works too. I have tried with HANDFREE name because there are some CARGHANDFREE... keys so I decided to make new key with similar name :)

Update: I guess HANDFREE_UPLINK_VOLUME parameter allows to control mic volume (uplink) on hands-free devices, HEADSET_UPLINK_VOLUME is dedicated to headset. My Jabra works as hands-free device (this functionality is on the feature list), changing HEADSET_UPLINK_VOLUME value did not change its mic gain. On devices with headset functionality mic gain should be controlled with HEADSET_UPLINK_VOLUME I guess.

I have tried with HANDSFREE_UPLINK_VOLUME but it is not wotking.
So my solution to increase mic volume when hands-free device is used, as I have post before, is add binary HANDFREE_UPLINK_VOLUME parameter with FF (max) value.
I put this parameter in every \HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAIN(x) key.
Mic range increased and my voice is louder on other side when I am using Jabra hands-free.

[guyver2077]

i couldnt find the other topic so ill post here..

is there any custom cab file that tweaks the audiogain settings..


when i put my phone on speakerphone.. no one can hear me good.. i just tested it myself and it constantly sounds like im in the rain or another weird noise

[Halfhoff]

Thaks for the tip!

[lotech]

These audiogain adjustments seem way too high. After making the recommended changes and powering down the phone I noticed horrible results. I had audio feedback problems while talking on the phone. BT headset audio distortion made it impossible to hear anyone. Audio playback on MP3s was overdriven. I find it hard to believe that an almost 800% increase in some of these audio settings makes any sense.
(Like "RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex: from 18 to CC !!) I have had much better success just slightly tweaking these numbers. Hear is what I have done that seem to work.

EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:21
EXTERNAL_RECORDING_GAIN"=hex:16
HEADSET_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:16
INTERNAL_RECORDING_GAIN"=hex:06
RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:20
SPEAKER_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:13
All other settings are at factory default

FYI: It appears that powering down the phone after making these registry changes is required in order for them to take affect. Don’t know why …maybe the audio hardware registers are only initialized on a power-up.)

Did those settings improve your speaker phone voume or quality? Also have you made any adjustments to speaker phone. Mines still sounds like crap

I’m still experimenting with the settings. I do not use speaker phone very often (mostly BT800) I don’t think you will ever get “great” sound quality out of this phone. Raising “SPEAKER_UPLINK_VOLUME” from 10 to 13 seems to make an improvement.

[guyver2077]

Nice. Did you apply these setting to all the audio gain directories? i.e. 0,1,2

[eboy44]

if i just wanted to make my ringtones and the music that i play in mediaplayer LOUDER how would i do that?

[lotech]

I think I’m going to setup some specific tests & isolate the primary audiogain settings & functions.

For guyver2077; Yes I did apply the changes to all directories
& for eboy44; Increasing meadiaplayer output will be part of my tests.

FYI: If you have a ringtone that you like but the audio level is too low try adjusting it in a .wav file editor and saving it back into the phone.

[soundbyte]

what value do I increase for raising the audio gain on the speakerphone on the unit?

would someone mind explaining how to do this for a newbie ?

[garyHal]

Yeah, I am a newbie with my 8125 and I am confused as to how to increase the volume of the speakers as well.

[CJSnet]

Please help us out! :)

Any experts out there, please check this similar thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=330181

There are many of us with Bluetooth headsets, who cannot get the mic volume anywhere near what is needed to carry on a conversation. People on the other end just cannot hear us.

Take a look at the thread - we've tried a lot of the suggestions here if not all of them. Hope someone is able to be our saviour :)

Did you (or anyone else) ever figure out the mapping of these registry keys? It seems like a lot of people want to change different volumes to different levels, so it would be nice to have them isolated to their appropriate keys.

Assuming each audio point has its own volume control, there are eight things to map, right?
1. BT mic volume
2. BT speaker volume
3. Phone mic volume (normal mic)
4. Phone stereo speaker volume (speakerphone, ringtones, mp3's, voice command, etc.)
5. Phone mono speaker volume (normal in-call, between the status LED's)
6. Handsfree mic volume (wired)
7. Handsfree stereo speaker volume (ringtones, mp3's, etc.; wired)
8. Handsfree mono speaker volume (normal in-call; wired)
<7 & 8 might be linked, I don't know>

So what someone needs to do is change each key individually (defaults shown) and see what gets affected above:
EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME = 19
EXTERNAL_RECORDING_GAIN = 16
HEADSET_UPLINK_VOLUME = 13
INTERNAL_RECORDING_GAIN = 06
RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME = 18
HANDFREE_UPLINK_VOLUME = *new key

And here's the registry location (for those who don't use search):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > HTC > AUDIOGAIN

Please make corrections/additions/discoveries as appropriate.

Anyone find out how to increase In Call Volume?

[icy1211]

I've had the microphone volume problem too where people on the other end have trouble hearing me and i would always have to speak up really loud. The registry hack "cc" only worked as a temporary solution and wasn't the best to me.

I just wanted to share that i exchanged my phone with tmobile, and my microphone works like normal! I think for those who are having microphone issues, it may be hardware related. Just wanted to share that fact with everyone on this list as they have been helpful to me.

[littlezumbo]

My first post is a simple, yet tremendous, thank you to eva_d. Changing the Audiogain, Audiogain0, Audiogain1, and Audiogain2 settings completely transformed the quality of my telephone calls. I spent a great deal of time testing the quality from my 8125 (as well as from our home phone calling my wife speaking into the 8125), and I have to say the difference is like night and day. Cheers.

[freeyayo50]

Little help. How do you use the reg files posted in this thread?? Thanx

[freeyayo50]

I found the SPEAKER_UPLINK_VOLUME may control the volume or sensitivity of microphone because when i set the value really high, i get nasty feedback thru the ear speaker. Every sound was getting picked up thru the mic. I set it to 50 and it almost blew my ear out :) .

Just some info

[FOSA]

One small suggestion

You can rip your songs with a ripper software that allows you to increase the volume (like 600%) at the same time. However, be aware that in this case noise will be amplified too.

FreeRip is what I'm using, here:-

http://www.mgshareware.com/frmmain.shtml

On top of this use TCPMP as your music player


Hope it helps :lol:

[FOSA]

Ooooops....sorry

I guess its not music volume that you need :oops:

[pellos]

hey guys. i have a big problem. my speaker is not working. when i have the headphones pluggedn everything is ok. but when is out it dows sound at, no sound at all even the system is sounds are not working. i madea reset but is stilla the same

[techlogik]

Ok, this is a worthless post, but, the original topic is Speaker Volume!?!? Yet, this thread talks about bluetooth and everything but how to make the speaker louder so you can listen to music etc...

None of the reg keys mentioned by somebody has any effect.

Any answers?

[Starwalker]

Hi all,

I tried those reg changes on my xda neo (Qtek S200) to get the earphonespeakers louder, but I can´t recognize any effect. My speaker volume, freespeak volume and headset volume are really good, only the earphone built in speaker is a too quite!

Whatever I write into the HKLM/Software/HTC/Audiogain (x) keys (CC, DD, 56, FF, etc.), it has no effect on my built in earspeaker!

If anyone knows a solution for this problem (to get the earphone speaker louder) please let me know!

Thanks in advance!

Best regards

Starwalker

[freeyayo50]

So does anyone kno which reg value changes speaker volume?

[baekhorangee]

Here's my experience with this tweak,

I changed AUDIOGAIN, AUDIOGAIN0, AUDIOGAIN1, AUDIOGAIN2 \ EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME, RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME, SPEAKER_UPLINK_VOLUME all to "CC" value instead of the original value and noticed alot of difference in my system volume for speaker phone and etc. I use voice command and after the reg tweak, voice recognition wasn't working so well so I reversed the RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME back to 18. I usually don't get complaints regarding that they can't hear me anyways...I still want to see if I can get a louder volume during normal phone calls through the device.

My question is:

EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME value controls what?
RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME value controls what?
SPEAKER_UPLINK_VOLUME value controls what?

I have a USDM T-mobile MDA ROM 2.26.1.2.

[bankir]

When I changed the HEADSET_VOLUME_UPLINK to CC from 13, my phone speaker is louder but it doesn't sound very good, like it's too loud or something. And also the other party said that my voice is crackles. So I had to change it back to 13 and it sounds better now.

Actually everything works properly, I have no problem with the Internal volume but I do have a problem with my BT Headset where the sound is too low when I'm outdoor and I'm looking for a way to make it louder by doing the reg tweaking.

Most of the times when I'm outdoor using my BT Headset (Motorola HS850). I have to press the headset towards my ear to hear properly, the InCall Volume in my phone and my headset are set to the highest already.

So, which entry do I have to edit to make my BT headset louder?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS: I'm using Dopod 818Pro, A.K.A Qtek S200
PS: I haven't done anything to the EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME but I will change it to CC and see if it's going to be louder or not.

Yes, would you please post it. BTW - Wat phone are you testing it on??

[fluxist]

This app will allow you to adjust the volume of the phone mic (the volume of your voice during calls). Just copy the exe to the device and run it. This version may require the .Net CF but the final version will not. It was tested on a Cingular 8125.

This is essentially a testing version. I made the two sliders independent for in order to isolate what the different keys change (RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME vs. HEADPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME), which I haven't gotten around to yet.

Change the values and hit apply. A messagebox will spit out the hex value of the numbers (again, this is a testing version). Exit the app and hold down the Power button to power-off and preserve the registry changes.

Seems to make some of my stuff louder but I really want to increase my earpiece volume for when Im riding on the train.

[fluxist]

The app i uploaded only adjusts the volume settings for the two registry keys that affect the volume of your voice during phone calls. It would be fairly easy for me to extend it to have sliders for all the internal volume/gain settings. It would be nice tho if someone produced a definitive description of what each one did.

And you need to reset the device before the changes take effect (As far as i know). Hold down the Power button to write the reg changes and reset.

On another note, does anyone know how I might be able to add these sliders into the systems own volume sliders? So like instead of getting two, you get my third (or more) slider there too?

I used this "hack" and now my microphone is so sensitive people on the other end say I should distorted and too loud even in a normal tone of voice and if I am in a noisy area I cant use the phone at all from the background noise. Its even hard to use in my car since the mic picks up so much road noise. Does anyone have the default values to change it back. I saw the reg edit file, but I am not sure how to use it. I placed it on my device, but could not get it to execute. Thanks for any help!
I'm having the same problem...especially in the car where I use my phone a lot...still tweaking to try and find a happy medium

What device are you using?? Also, what file explorer are you using?

[Curious D]

Back in November, Fluxist provided a program to allow in increase in mic volume. There doesn't seem to be any development since then and no one has commented if it works with the BT headset. I have an 8125 as well and a Motorola H700 headset. I routinely have people asking what I'm saying while I'm using the headset. I may not be a volume issue as I have been told I sound muffled, but the volume was fine (thus speaking more loudly in the phone only annoyed the person on the other side even more). Does Fluxist's program or the registry hacks made on this thread increase the sound or the sensitivity so that words can be understood when using a BT device?

Thanks in advance.

i've had problems with microphone in my wizard. basically, people complained, that they can't hear me very well. i also found these registry keys, did some tests and changed RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME and EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME values to CC. after that change, microphone sensitivity got better and didn't receive any more complaints.
I just did this trick and it worked! My gf would often complain about my voice being too soft or distant so I just edited those fields and typed CC and voila. Problem solved!

[WizeMan]

I need to change the volume so i can hear the other part louder. Which key shall i change?

[scolopendra]

Ok, i've been fiddling with this for a few hours now.. My initial volume settings where way too high!

I've tried changing the HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN(x)\ settings.

I tried making some radicale changes like changing values to CC, DD, 99, 00 or 01 and each time turning on and of the device to initialize the new settings. I tried changing settings in all the audiogain(x) folders just the audiogain (without the number) folder and till now I found these results:

lowering the "eac_gain_headset" setting will lower volume of the headset (not bluetooth just normal microjack earplugs)

increasing this setting too high (I tested 99) resulted in same volume as 00. so don't put this setting too high!

increasing the "codec_gain_headset" seting wil lower headset volume.

You only have too change the settings in the audiogain (without the number) folder. I have no idea why the other folders exist..

same results can be found for the "eac_gain_embedded" and "codec_gain_embeded" settings to increase/decrease internal speaker volumes.

All other settings e.g.: speaker_uplink_volume, earphone_uplink_volume, etc. don't have any effect on outcomming volumes. Maybe they effect the mics volume, I don't know.

Unfortunately their is alway a certain amount of background noise when playing a sound. this noise is always on the same level. decreasing gains don't effect the noise level.. too bad because that is what i was trying to do. Any hints for me how too get less noise?

When u say "background noise", do you mean a hiss sound coming from the stereo speakers??

[scolopendra]

Yes a hiss sound, its les obvious from the stereo speakers because their quality is allready poor, but even using a good quality headphone generates quite an annoying hiss, especially noticeable in quiet music passages.

[scolopendra]

Now I just wanted to make a phonecall and it was pretty much impossible, the internal microphone was way too sensitive! All I heard was feedback beeping. aargh..

So trying to find what caused this i found the following:

after restoring a an old backup everything was ok
before restoring, my "recieve_uplink_volume" was accidentally set to 13 instead of 18.
setting "recieve_uplink_volume" back to 13 instead of 18 in all audio gain folders, reintroduced the feedback!

so setting a lower value to "recieve_uplink_volume" will increase mic. sensitivity!

This time it does have to be done in all audiogain* folders...

[freeyayo50]

I think the hiss we are getting is from the sound being amplified before it gets pushed out from the speakers. If you've ever used an audio editing program before and amplified an audion clip you would get a hiss. That being said, there is no way of getting rid of the hiss when you are increasing the sound for the speakers.

Thanx for finding that out about the mic sensitivity.
I think im going to go back to testing out the volumes.

[scolopendra]

the funny thing is, 'the hiss' doesn't increase or decrease when increasing or decreasing the gain levels or using the volume button. so i could decrease the hiss by using an external volume knop (like sometimes integrated in a headphone) this way: ('db'numbers are hypothetical)

20db hiss - 60db music volume


increase music volume, so then:

20db hiss - 120db music volume (way too loud but verry well posible on the wizard)


and add an external volume knop (potentiometer/resistor) so i get:

10db hiss - 60db music volume (aigain the desired volume but with less hiss)
I've tried this and it works pretty well! But I don't want to use an external volume knop because my prefered headphones don't have one, and I hope there is someway to do this internally.

[zakhir_n]

Can someone tell me what I would change to decrease the in-call volume? Most times I have to hold the phone away from my ear becasue the people I'm talking to are coming in way too loud. Even with the in call volume set to the lowest setting.

Thanks.

[scolopendra]

I understand that my previous posts are a bit hard to get..
try this:

lowering the "eac_gain_embedded" setting will lower volume of the embeded speaker.
increasing the "codec_gain_embeded" seting wil lower embeded speaker volume.

I changed "codec_gain_embeded" setting from 0 to 25 to solve my problem (probably same as your problem.)
You only have too change the settings in the audiogain (without the number) folder.

!but mind this!
I think this changes both the earspeaker as the stereospeaker volume (all embeded speakers) so your ringtones will be lower too! (Still loud enough for me) Can anybody agree on this?, because I'm not really sure anymore..:confused:

You can freelly play around with these settings they won't damage your phone (I think, no garantuees:D ) and please post your results, we might all learn from this!

So your saying that, INCREASING the value of the "codec_gain_embeded" made the hiss go away while still keeping the speakers loud??

[scolopendra]

So your saying that, INCREASING the value of the "codec_gain_embeded" made the hiss go away while still keeping the speakers loud??

no, INCREASING the value of the "codec_gain_embeded" will make the speakers less loud (lower volume). The level of the hiss doesn't change at all.

[WizeMan]

So is there a conclusion? Which are the best settings for the best quality of our device's speaker / mic ?:cool:

[scolopendra]

the conclusion is that you can lower or increase the sound levels of your phone.
my phone was too loud in the beginning and some people say its to soft (see thread title) so these problems are solved.

-end-

ps
There is as far as I know, not any way to get a better quality. Only with the before descriped method of increasing volume and using an external volume knop to decrease it again. But that's not usefull for me.
The best noise/signal ratio can be found by putting your volume to the max. But then you will be deaf soon...

I don't know if there is any other way to get better quality (less) hiss. If there is a way it will probably be trough hardcore programming and not by simple reg. hacking.

I'm not a hardcore programmer..:o

[scolopendra]

Im sorry but there is no conclusion yet. We all still need to find a way to increase/decrease microphone sensitivity and also the phone speaker as well.

Has anybody else tried changing "recieve_uplink_volume"? try changing it in small steps (I tried 18->13) in all audiogain(*) folders. It really increases/decreases microphone sensitivity of the embeded microphone in normal (not handsfree) phone mode.

Setting it to 13 made the microphone very sensitive with lots of feedback. 18 was fine for me.

But please be clear about the type of microphone you mean:
- internal embedded microphone in normal phone mode?
- internal embedded microphone in handsfree phone mode
- microphone on wired headset?
- microphone of bluetooth headset?

There are different keys to change for these different microphones! Try it! the only way to draw valid conclusions is if more people try this and post their results.

[scolopendra]

new results,

I just edited my previous post because I accidentally mixed up the numbers 13 and 18, it's ok now.
My gf started complaining about my voice being to soft, so I thought lets try and increase my mic. sensitivity a little. I knew changing the receive_uplink_volume from 18 to 13 was too much, so I tried changing 18 too 16. (in all audiogain(x) folders)

And again I got a lot of feedback, beeping and it was no good. Changing the value to 17 removed the beeping, and my girlfriend said it was better than before (when on 16), but only slight. (She also was in an other environment so objective judging was hard.) So effectively I can change the sensitivity only one step and it barely has effect?

My personal conclusion; the phone's hardware sucks and/or I do not fully understand what I am changing. Help please?

Im going to help you out. Im going to try different combinations in the different Audiogain folders. What i mean is, im going to have audiogain(1) set to 17 and audiogain(2) set to 16. Maybe that may be the key.

[zeusin]

Great... this tweak does work, and am happy with my Wm6 now.

I only changed the values to CC in these 2 keys in all Audiogain keys
EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME
RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall\Attenuati onCategory=0

My call quailty has improved a lot. i could barely hear the callers voice earlier.

Do you know what AttenuationCategory key does??

[zeusin]

Do you know what AttenuationCategory key does??

I compared the Attenuation category Reg setting from Aserg,Pdamobiz prophet roms, and a couple of Wizard roms, and they were not the same.
Not sure what it does, but seems to work on my PDA, making it 0 or 1..
Pls let me know if its not a setting to mess with :)

OK, I'll try your set up. You said you can hear the other person better. But what about your voice quality to the other person?? How is that?

Havent had any problems with voice qlty from my end.. before or after the reg tweak.. you can try just the attenuation tweak first (and not the Audiogain), and see if it works.

[ofueckert]

Hi,

Attenuation classes have nothing to do with either Microphone or Perceived incoming call volume, but are to ensure that you will not get depth in case you are on a call and a reminder or any other sound from your system speaker goes off.

Here some details and the more long explanation:

Whenever an application opens a wave stream, that stream is automatically associated with class 0. However, applications may move their stream to a different class by calling waveOutMessage with the proprietary MM_WOM_SETSECONDARYGAINCLASS. For example, to open a stream and associate it with class 2 one would do the following:



waveOutOpen(&hWaveOut, ...);

...

// Set gain class to 2

waveOutMessage(hWaveOut, MM_WOM_SETSECONDARYGAINCLASS, 2, 0);

Classes are differentiated from each other in two ways:

During a call, the amount of attenuation is controlled on a per-class basis. Some classes may be muted; others are attenuated (made a little more quiet on the assumption that the phone is being held up to the user’s ear); and others may have no attenuation at all. The amount of attenuation is controlled by the shell based on a set of registry values.

Each class may or may not be affected by the “system volume”. This behavior is hard-coded in the audio device driver.

In the currently shipping implementation there are four classes with the following behavior:

Class
Behavior During Call
Affected by system volume
Used by

0
Muted
Yes
Default setting for all sounds

1
Attenuated
Yes
?

2
Attenuated
No
Alarm, Reminder, Notification, Ring, In-call sounds

3
Muted
No
System event sounds

cheers,

Oliver.

[freeyayo50]

Nice...thanx for the info ofueckert.

So when \InCall\Attenuation is set to, let's say 0. While in a call and a reminder goes off, the in-call sound will be muted?

Kool. Yea sometimes with WM5, the changes dont get saved to memory fast enough before the soft reset is done.

This app will allow you to adjust the volume of the phone mic (the volume of your voice during calls). Just copy the exe to the device and run it. This version may require the .Net CF but the final version will not. It was tested on a Cingular 8125.

This is essentially a testing version. I made the two sliders independent for in order to isolate what the different keys change (RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME vs. HEADPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME), which I haven't gotten around to yet.

Change the values and hit apply. A messagebox will spit out the hex value of the numbers (again, this is a testing version). Exit the app and hold down the Power button to power-off and preserve the registry changes.

Hi!
I get "InvalidCastException" when trying to run this tool (Phone Mic Volume Adjuster.exe). Moving the sliders doesn't change the value.

My device is a HTC BlueAngel with WM5. The registry keys are there...

I'm trying to fix the echo that my partners on the other end of the phone complain about. Manually lowering values in the registry seem to help, but this tool would ease my life alot.

They are settings in your registry. You need a registry editor to see/change them. Like Resco Explorer or Total Commander.

i've had problems with microphone in my wizard. basically, people complained, that they can't hear me very well. i also found these registry keys, did some tests and changed RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME and EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME values to CC. after that change, microphone sensitivity got better and didn't receive any more complaints.
Don't mean to sound like a dummy, because I know how to do this on a PC, but how do you edit the registry on a cell phone?

[bankir]

Don't mean to sound like a dummy, because I know how to do this on a PC, but how do you edit the registry on a cell phone?

You have to install a registry editor program like PHM registry, or Resco Registry. I believe that there are many freeware registry editor, but I'm not sure what it's called.. Do some research :). I personally like Resco Registry.

OK, just want to share a litle of my experience

I've got a Nextlink Spider which I use for A2DP. Absolutely fantastic... but though I'd love to use it as a headset too, I cannot. Rather, I can, in a quiet setting, such as an office or at home, but outside, or in a car, fugetaboutit! Too quiet!!! Funny that A2DP sound is TOO LOUD :)
I'm running the HandsFree profile in my Wizard.

I read this whole thread from top to bottom and wasn't able to get anything going as far as Bluetooth audio gains, so I went to do some of my own digging. Found this:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa915920.aspx

Tried to follow the directions, in particular MicVolume and SpkVolume keys, but to no avail...
It seems to me that the answer lies in these very settings.
However, these settings are dependent on the actual DLL file that the registry points to. Depending on what version of WM one has as well as if one is using Voice Command, that DLL could be OEMAGEx.dll or vcbthag.dll
MSDN lists btagatext.dll as the file AG settings would derive from, but I haven't seen that file in any of the ROMs I tried... and I've tried them all.

So, it would appear that OEMAGEx.dll or vcbthag.dll have the necessary AT commands to trigger an audio gain on the Bluetooth headset speaker or mic.
I am not a developer by any means, but I have been in IT for years, and I have a good understanding of the registry. What I cannot do though, is snoop around inside a DLL file to see what's in there. I found a program that does the snooping, but short of getting a degree in CIS I won't be able to figure it out.
What we need is a programmer/developer. Somoene who can snoop around these DLL files and figure out what AT commands are embedded inside. If the right ones aren't embedded, then he/she can add them and post the DLL file for all to use.
We all know speakers, as all hardware, can be pushed beyond the OEM's preset limits. It's just a matter of overwriting those OEM limitations.

Hope I was able to shed some light in this situation...

Really? I have no problems with my nextlink spider. I mow the grass with it and it still comes through loud and clear. Are you checking to make sure that your volume on the actual headset is turned up as well? Three "simple" things affect volume output: 1) headset volume 2) program volume and 3) system volume.

Raising the volume on the phone has absolutely no effect on the Spider, and I tried stock ROMs and cooked ones. Now I'm running Faria's WM6 real Wizard ROM.
Headset volume is at its max and in a non quiet setting it really doesn't do it justice.

[ajmoncrief]

Thats interesting, b/c it def does with mine. Up until recently I had to always crank up all three (which became very tedious). Now I run vp3gs official wm6 and I dont know if it is this rom, or my spb phone suite app that automatically sets the volume to max when I have a bluetooth headset attached. I've even checked to see if the volume still has an effect and it does. This is also true with my bluetooth car stereo. Perhaps its simply just a Hermes/Wizard compatibility issue with the Nextlink set. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Perhaps theres a hack out there somewhere??

i cant change my audiogain values im using resco explorer, can someone make a cab file for us, thanks

I am using TOUCH and Resco...

After you changed the value.. Click on the OK on top rather than DONE below... then soft reset...

It should work

[mtb2104]

I understand that my previous posts are a bit hard to get..
try this:

lowering the "eac_gain_embedded" setting will lower volume of the embeded speaker.
increasing the "codec_gain_embeded" seting wil lower embeded speaker volume.



I played around a bit just now...

It does behave like you described...

What I did was set the volume to max by clicking on the speaker icon on top and max the one with the telephone icon...

For Ringtones...With "eac_gain_embedded" set to 25... it was very soft... then I changed the setting to 77... it was VERY loud...(default was 67 on my Touch)

However, the "codec_gain_embeded" does not seem to affect too much? I am not sure too...

My problem was during conversations if I switch on the speaker, the speaker was blasting away even when the volume was set to the min.... -0-

Anyone has the same problem?

[martinlong78]

I'm baffled. I have no AUDIOGAIN in HTLM\Software\HTC I've tried both O2 XDA WM6 and Black Satin WM6 and these keys don't exist on either. I'm havin loads of mic problems. After a soft reset the mic is fine, but after a while the mic volume goes so low you have to shout in the bottom of the phone to be heard.

[eddycarbon]

I found some keys. The keys:

\\\registry\HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN(x)\

Speaker uplink volume
Headset uplink volume

Where (x) is nothing or 0, 1, 2

My speuker uplink volume was set at 26, I change that with 50, I think my speaker goes a bit harder, but I'm not sure..

Does anyone know if it really works, or has different techhnics?

Hi, I am using XDA Atom, I am having issues with Microphone Volume. How do you go about and find these registry settings. Plz help I am novice in developing area.

[mariner_heart]

thats exactly my problem....i don't have any entry like "AUDIOGAIN" with any number in my xda mini. i have used both resco and phm.
does anybody have any solution?

[fzsrh]

Thanks a lot~~~~:)

[redtails]

to sum it up.. in resco registry, or any other registry editor:
HKEY_Local_Machine -> Software -> HTC -> Audiogain
what you're probably most interested in is the volume of the music, but anything can be edited. Editing EAC in audiogain is enough, anything else requires editing it in all 4 :

-EAC_GAIN_EMBEDDED for the internal speakers, I have it set to 7D (hex), but this does mean anything past like.. 75% systemvolume is overkill for normal songs, WAY too much treble, unless you listen quiet songs of course. It normally says 67 I think.. and for the people who use resco, it should read "0000 7D", please don't remove the four times zero

-EAC_GAIN_HEADSET for basically anything you stick into the 2.5mm jack, I have 2 loose speakers on it to give some base but again, setting it to 7D (hex) is overkill and will result in cracking past about 85% volume.. 67 Is standard value

-EAC_GAIN_CARKIT is for the bluetooth headset speaker I think, but I'm not sure I've never used one. setting it to like.. anything above 67 can help if your headset's soft, I assume this works the same for a2dp, but I cannot confirm

-HEADSET_UPLINK_VOLUME is the recording volume of your headset, standard value is 12 I think

-EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME is the volume of the microphone you stick in the jackplug.. standard value is 16 I think

-RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME is just the microphone sensitivity of your phone in calls without speakerphone, normal value is 16

-SPEAKER_UPLINK_VOLUME is the microphone sensitivity during speaker phone calls I think, normal value is 16 too

you can edit them by experience, nearly doubling them from 12 to 20 or from 16 to 25 is more than the person you're calling will ever need.. but you can of course just use the automatic microphone sensitivity enhancer that is standard in windows mobile phone edition.. it's in the settings->system screen

[bromerrill]

FYI the default settings on my Dash in the most important registry keys concerned are: HKLM/Software/HTC/Audiogain/EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME=10; ....EXTERNAL_RECORDING_GAIN=06;...HEADSET_UPLINK_V OLUME=11;....INTERNAL_RECORDING_GAIN=17;....RECEIV E_UPLINK_VOLUME=19;....SPEAKER_UPLINK_VOLUME=10. I changed the EARPHONE...toCC; the HEADSET...to FF; and the RECEIVE...TO CC. I was having problems with people hearing me talk on my Moto H700 bluetooth headset, but it appears with these settings I can be heard fairly well (a little muffled), and can hear others on the BT headset ok. I'm running a stock TMO ROM -1.22.531.6. Hope this helps to define the issue a little bit more.

Ok, so I first applied the audiogainx reg entries on page 2/3, and it raised my ear volume but also caused a LOT of mic reverb, which pissed off folks on the other end of my calls. So I used the settings above to tweak things a bit. Where mic settings had been cc, I dropped it a hair, and raised the carkit settings, and one other (I forget right now)...anyway raising the carkit settings in all 4 audiogain areas REALLY created great sound on my BT headset. Lowering the mic settings just a hair made my peeps able to hear me loud and clear without the reverb. I still need to play around a bit as my single speaker is not as loud as I'd like (but it IS louder), however my stereo speakers and ringtones are nice and loud now. Bottom line...use the audiogainx reg entries does help, but I would suggest tweaking them a bit for personal taste...a must for BT users is to tweak the carkit entries, as it really raises the volume. I have not tested these tweaks on stereo BT headsets with music (I don't have stereo BT headset), so someone will have to test if tweaking carkit entries affects stereo BT.

[akashastrega]

Didn't get much of an answer out of my own thread so i'll ask here, how can you increase the volume for the speaker at the top of the phone in between the blinking lights? (aka phone call speaker, whatever technical name you could use)

This AUDIOGAIN settings seem to only increase the volume of my ringtones, music, alerts, when I have the headset plugged in and not that speaker itself.

ANY IDEAS?!

After many tweaks and reversions, I have only been able to increase speakerphone and BT headset sounds. I have NOT been able to increase the mono speaker sound. PLEASE can someone point me to the proper reg entry which specifically affects the MONO SPEAKER which is used to make phone calls--not the stereo speakers used for speakerphone functions...I really need the top, single speaker reg entry.

Thanks in advance!!! If I can get this one area nailed, I'll be able to post my tweaks and hopefully help everyone get a better quality of sound.

[kcguy]

Like the member above, I have tried everything in this thread and gained nothing. I wanted only to boost the volume of the onboard speaker, so I can hear the ringtone and the person's voice on the other end of the phone.

If anyone here has the answer, please post it and keep it simple, personally I don't think anyone does have the answer, but I'm willing to try. Because of an illness, my hearing is not what it should be and probably never will improve, so it is important to me to solve this low volume problem.

[sasa77]

can someone explain how to increase sound volume using registry? well i dont have these values in registry (posted in 1st post). Is there any way? (i am using win xp sp2, C-Media sound driver)

same here...i havnte it

[akashastrega]

I have a really bad speaker. I have tested many of the reg entries as I stated in earlier posts in this thread. To date, I have yet to find the right reg entry that can fix my speaker...however, using BT, I have been able to significantly increase volume. No this is NOT the fix we are seeking, but in terms of being able to hear a caller, I'd rather have a greatly boosted BT volume, than no volume increase anywhere. Besides, in many states the law is now written that we must use BT...so for driving purposes, a boosted volume has been great. When I or someone else has the fix for the center speaker, we will post it. To those who are complaining, how about trying to help us find the right key by posting what you have tried and what your results were, rather than just bitching. What makes xda such a great site is the collaborative effects of its members trying new things and posting their results, which others then take and try to improve on.

[baudolino]

The audio edits work on the wizard as long as you're using a stereo handsfree headset. The wizards aren't wired to work well with a mono. With the Jabra c500 for instance I found it worked perfectly when calling out. When calls were received the mic would only work if jack was pulled out then pushed back in.

[BostonLegal]

does anyone know how to make the audio stereo, like using a headset to play mp3 files, i currently use one but it only works on one channel.
