UPDATED - Audiopara.csv for 3.XX ROM, now with cab install

[Scrufdog]

THIS IS FOR THE 3.XX GPS ROMS ONLY.

SEE UPDATE BELOW

This will not work with the older 2.XX ROMs, the files are different between the ROMs and using the wrong one may make your phone SILENT.

This file is designed to increase the volume of the phone. It increases the ear piece speaker, speakerphone speaker, and headphone/handsfree speaker levels.

The ear piece and speakerphone speakers start at the factory Sprint level for low, but get louder in greater steps. The loudest was near the edge of distortion when I called my voicemail.

The headphone/handsfree level has been increased by about 15%, no where near as much as the first 2, but its headphones, so I'm not jacking it up that much.



To install....

1. Download audiopara.csv.txt
2. Rename to audiopara.csv (meaning you get rid of the .txt part)
3. Backup audiopara.csv from your Windows directory of your phone.
4. Copy into the Windows directory of your phone, overwriting the original.
5. Soft reset. Yes you need to soft reset.



Disclaimer : I am not responsible if you break your phone or go deaf. This is not a hard thing to do, read the directions twice. Also be careful when using initially as the volume is louder than it was when you got the phone.

Anyone may feel free to use this file in a custom ROM or whatever, jsut put my name in there, if you would. :D

Thanks to mswlogo for figuring out how to do this in the older ROMs.

Glad I could finally give back to the community that has helped me out so much. Enjoy.

FILE: http://www.scrufdog.com/AudioPara.csv.txt Right Click, Save Target As...

If someone wants to do a mirror thing go for it.

UPDATED

UPDATE: NOW WITH CAB FILE
I've also added the original since people arent backing up.


Here's the new and improved way to install. This zip file has my original .csv file in it AND now comes with a .cab file for easy install, without overwriting and copying and such.

Instructions are the same for the csv file.

Instructions for the cab are fairly simple.

1. Copy cab to phone.
2. Run cab, install to Device.
3. When done, soft reset.
4. Enjoy loudness.

Enjoy.

Let me know if there are problems.

[Scrufdog]

in case anyone was trying to download this early yesterday and such and got a broken link, the server its on has been back up. Dont know what happened, but all is good now.

[blazingwolf]

Thanks. :)

[c@rL0$]

Hey bro thanks for this new audiopara file. I can finally use the speakerphone with out having to be ashamed of the low volume. :rolleyes: .Thanks :cool:

[1999TL]

What are the downsides of this? there has to be something if they made it that low right? Or not...

[Scrufdog]

What are the downsides of this? there has to be something if they made it that low right? Or not...

the only downside i can think of would be that your speaker will only last 5 years instead of 6, and thats only if you run the things at full blast ALLLLLL day long, and even then, I stopped at what my phone was playing distorted, and distortion is what kills speakers, not just loudness.

This file has been modded and used in the past, and no problems ever arose. It's the first thing I do when I reflash a ROM.

[1999TL]

that was easy. I do notice a difference too on this rom. ON the past roms, I diddn't notice much of a difference.

[chrisnosleep]

I didn't have the old hack (moderate-fix-low-volume-issues-audiopara.csv_coarse_ear_extended_speaker.txt) installed very long before the 3.16 update came out, but with this new one, it seems louder. With the old hack, I still had to put the volume at max and strain slightly to hear. With this one, I have the volume at the notch below max and is plenty loud. In fact, I can hold the phone away from my ear and still hear fine. Nice work! :D:D

[JY1]

Cuddo's man, I did the rom upgrade and had no sound at all. I was running the previous coarse tweaked audiopara and it sure didn't work with the new Rom. I wonder what else does not work. Now if I can just get rid of the one unresolved item under activesync notes I'd be happy.....

[Scrufdog]

check first post for update. You can now install with a cab file to make things easier.

[ooshnoo]

What exactly does this do when compared with No2chem's nueAudio application?

http://www.weienterprises.com/nue/nueaudio.html

[Scrufdog]

lets see...

1. Its one less icon floating around (no big deal for most people I suppose).
2. I've been told its louder than no2chem's loudest setting.
3. no2chem's kets you adjust parts of the file that dont actually do anything, and I found that one of them will crash your phone if you even try to adjust it, WinCE_Sys I think it was.

He does good work. I made this one awhile ago and most that use it like that it is apparently the loudest one out there (while keeping the same low volume setting), and that its a one time thing, with no program to mess with.

[Scrufdog]

anyone here use this on a Verizon phone? If so what ROM are you using. I've been helping someone with a Verizon phone that installed this and lost all sound.

[Keystone]

Thanks Scruffdog, I'll OEM the CAB to give people the option of this file or the unmodified audiopara in my kitchen. nueAudio is already a choice but if the settings are just right, how often would one need No2Chem's app?

and here it is:

[Scrufdog]

cool. Thanks.

[Keystone]

I removed your audiopara, as with DCD's, it broke the profile in SPB PhoneSuite and caused the odd lock-up. I'm guessing that it's only for WM 6.1 and not the 6.0 build such as the SPrint release.

[RevSand]

Thanks...

Works on my VZX6800 with SPB suite installed on the newest DCD rom...

its almost too loud if anything.. For normal listening I have it on the lowest...

[marriotheblackguy]

Awesome job. finally I got some VOLUME!

that sucks, I was under the impression that it was 'per radio' not 'per OS'.

Send me one for WM6.0 and I'll take a look at it and compare the 2.

I downloaded your kitchen and took out the WM6.0 audiopara.csv. It's the exact same thing as mine, except for the volume bumps I did. All the rest of the settings a the same.

Can you describe the problem you were having a little more maybe? Did my file make things louder before the lock-up, or could you even get far enough to tell?

Did my file make things louder before the lock-up, or could you even get far enough to tell?That's odd. yes things do get loudr but, each time I included one fo the custom audiopara files into the ROM, SPB PhoneSuite would not longer alter the phone's sound device and I would get ramdom lock-ups. When reverting back to the stock file everything became fine.

I tried that with multiple builds while only changing that file with the same results each time. I know that it's confusing, but maybe the OS doesn't like the volume settings made so high?

Using nueAudio to change the headset and earcuple settings don't cause this problem. Sorry, today I don't the chance to send you the working nueAudio altered file to compare its maximum volume settings.

[david7586]

thank you scrufdog for the audiopara modification. I have a request; is it possible to make the ringtones louder for this version of audiopara? maybe im mistaken but i thought the audiopara file on the 2.17 based rom had much louder ringtones when i used dcd's 2.x.x series. would this be possible? thank you!

I'll take a look tonight or tomorrow.

[david7586]

scrufdog, any update on being able to increase the volume? Thank you!

[Scrufdog]

scrufdog, any update on being able to increase the volume? Thank you!

havent found anything on ringtone volume yet. Havent had a chance to look around as much as I want to, work is all boned up, but I'm not giving up yet.

[travster]

Will installing this keep my speaker from popping intermittently? I have even noticed it popping when my phone is on vibrate. :confused:

[Scrufdog]

the only noises I hear are when the speaker clicks right before a ringtone goes up, i assume from turning on the speaker, but I've had that since the phone was stock. You can only hear it if the room is fairly quiet.

[travster]

Would this be considered enough of a defect to warrant replacement?

[Scrufdog]

Would this be considered enough of a defect to warrant replacement?

do you have any non-stock software installed? Could be something waking up the phone and the phone making that pooping sound if the sound driver wakes up. Might also be local interference. Does it do it everywhere or just at certain places?

[dtrell]

just one question..if i use the cab file, what if i dont like the new settings...if i remove it, will it put the old audiopara file back in place? scrufdog?

[Scrufdog]

just one question..if i use the cab file, what if i dont like the new settings...if i remove it, will it put the old audiopara file back in place? scrufdog?

I just tried on mine and it didnt seem to change the file. Left mine in there. I'll look into doing something that can get back the original. I'll need a day or 2.

[t0mmyr]

i thought the DCD 3.0.1 kitchen includes a volume mod...if i install this on a fresh copy of DCD 3.0.1 will it make it louder or stay the same?

[Scrufdog]

dcd's audiopara does have a volume bump in it, but last I've checked it was only for one of the speakers, and it was not as loud as mine. I'll get ahold of a stock audiopara file tonight and put up a cab for it.

[t0mmyr]

so it would be accurate to say that if i install this Audiopara.csv posted in the first link after a fresh install of DCD 3.0.1 I will get louder volume from both speakers and bluetooth? or it will be the same or less from stock DCD 3.0.1?

no, the bluetooth will not be louder. I havent figured that one out yet. However, everything else will be much louder.

[Scrufdog]

Original Audiopara added to first post... both cab and csv in the zip file.

[TdiDave]

will it improve the volume of my handsfree car kit (sedio) ?

[Scrufdog]

will it improve the volume of my handsfree car kit (sedio) ?

if its a wired thing (plugs into the phone) then I believe it would

[t0mmyr]

no, the bluetooth will not be louder. I havent figured that one out yet. However, everything else will be much louder.

thanks, i loaded it again with no issues...keep us updated if u figure out the bluetooth, i've already got my jawbone to its loudest setting

[techherbie]

So, I have an xv6800 with version 2.x.x and sent me the audiopara.cab that he installed on his phone... I installed it and now silence on my phone. He sent me a link to here and I see the warning... a lil to late... How do I get sound back on my XV6800???

Thanks!
Herb:confused:

The attached audiopara is for the 2.x.x Roms. Its louder than the original 2.x audiopara, so it will help.

[techherbie]

:) Working again! Thanks so much! :)

I did sumthing stupid. I installed the cab B4 I checked wich version ROM I had. needless to say that Now I can't hear anything. (2.XX) is there a way to undo this without a hard reset? I need a quick reply because I am without a phone until I get my answer. LOL please e-mail me if u can at warren-oliver@hotmail.com Thanks

uh yeah, like 2 posts up, the guy had the exact same problem..... r

[jeffpolgar]

Recently bought Verizon XV6800. Downloaded the hack, unzipped it, even copied it and the .cab and the .csv to a (different) folder on the mobile device. But I can't copy over the old audiopara.csv because it is "read-only". I can't seem to find a way to "unlock" it. I can't use the .cab file even tho I can get it into the correct folder because it's a zip file, I guess. I double click it, but just get a window of its properties.

2 things for you to think about...

1. If you just got the phone and its un-modified, then you would need a different audiopara file. You need to check your ROM version under Device Information. If its 2.0...something then you need an older audiopara file. If its 3.xx whatever then you can use mine.

2. You dont copy the zip to the phone, you open the zip on your computer, extract the cab file from it, then copy the cab file to your phone. From your phone you open the cab file and it installs the file for you. However, make sure you check your ROM version first, because if you have the wrong ROM for the audiopara file, then you'll loose all sound upon installing this.

[jeffpolgar]

Thanks. I used the "-old" file and it seems to have worked!

[indeo]

I like your file better than any others i've tried...even the ones i've made myself...and i'd like to cook it. How the hell do i do that? I can't seem to find the one in the kitchen to replace with yours.

Scrufdog,Have u figure it out yet to increase BT volume?

[veloslave]

Scrufdog,Have u figure it out yet to increase BT volume?


There is the problem I am REALLY hoping there will be a fix for. I am about 95% on the BT and 4% on a wired headset and the remainder is on the handset speaker.

[pianoralf]

This is the method to adjust the volume of Bluetooth Headsets:

1. Install TotalCommander (if not allready done)
2. look in the registry which audiofile your device is actually using
-> \\\registry\HKLM\Drivers\BuildIn\WaveDev\
-> doubleclick "AcousticFile" and read the string and write it to a paper
3. change to the directory which you find in the string
-> usually \windows and copy the file from the HTC device to your Desktop PC

4. Make a backup of that file (so you have a copy if something goes wrong)

5. If your Excel can open it via doubleclick and you see the file in various colums go to step 6
If Excel opens it and eveything is in the first column (German Excel), then you have temporary (!) to change the field-separator for Excel, so that it reads and exports comma seprated files (otherwise it uses a semicolon)
-> close Excel
-> System(steuerung): Region and Languageoptions
-> change language for numberformat to "english"
-> Start Excel (look in Options "international" if there is a check box to use the numberformat from system language options)
-> Doubleclick the file and it will be opened in excel. When you save it later: use csv Format. Then Excel will use a comma as field seprator and not ";"

6. Doubleclick the file. It opens EXCEL and you see a table
In my version of the table I found 3 blocks with different headlines.
In the first column they you find the value "Header". Look at the last block. Here I found:

Header Mode Operator ID Vocpath volume_level codecTxGain codecRxGain codecSTGain txVolume rxVolume pcmFormatCtrl ecSwitch ecMode ecStartupMuteHangoverThres ecFarendHangoverThres esecDoubletalkHangoverThres hecDoubletalkHangoverThres aecDoubletalkHangoverThres ecStartupMuteMode ecMuteOverride ecStartupErleThres ecForceHalfDuplex esecResetThres hecResetThres aecResetThres ecInputSampOffset rxAgcEnableFlag compFlinkStaticGain compFlinkAIGFlag expFlinkThreshold expFlinkSlope compFlinkThreshold compFlinkSlope rxAvcEnableFlag avcRlinkSensitivityOffset avcFlinkHeadroom txAgcEnableFlag compRlinkStaticGain compRlinkAIGFlag expRlinkThreshold expRlinkSlope compRlinkThreshold compRlinkSlope nsSwitch nsMinGain nsSlope nsSNRThreshold rxPcmFiltCoeff 0 rxPcmFiltCoeff 1 rxPcmFiltCoeff 2 rxPcmFiltCoeff 3 rxPcmFiltCoeff 4 rxPcmFiltCoeff 5 rxPcmFiltCoeff 6 txPcmFiltCoeff 0 txPcmFiltCoeff 1 txPcmFiltCoeff 2 txPcmFiltCoeff 3 txPcmFiltCoeff 4 txPcmFiltCoeff 5 txPcmFiltCoeff 6 ec_reset_flag Reserved 2 Reserved 3 Reserved 4 Reserved 5 Reserved 6 MCC_Val MNC_Val

So, interesting for bluetooth volume which is transmitted from the HTC device and received by you bluetooth device is the parameter: rxVolume

Normally the first data row is: (Here I have marked the columm rxVolume with XXXX for you)
E0 Default 0 0 5 4000 4000 0 C000 XXXX 422 FFFF 0 190 0 320 320 320 0 0 7F 0 300 300 3000 0 0 7F65 0 780 FF9A 1B0C F333 0 ED00 0 0 7F65 0 780 FF9A 1B0C F333 1 68 743E 6 417 FC95 60 EC7D 01D8 F16B 3D23 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 FFFF FFFF

Now replace the value XXXX you find in your file with a higher Value.
Try 8000 9000 A000 B000 C000 E000 F000 or FFFF (for maximum)

This is an experimental way to have to try and test which value is good for you.

You can also replace the Word "Default" by the name of your device.
For that test replace one of the names your find in the second column with the exact name of your device which you find in then bluetooth settings (displayed after the coupling of the devices)
As experiment I added serveal lines mydevice_VOL1 mydevice_VOL2 etc to change the volume without booting the device. (For that change the name in the bluetooth setup to one you have used in that table)

For experiment: Maybe the parameter rxAgcEnableFlag also helps to get a better value. But I have not finished my test, so I hope others will find out which parameter should be used.

So notice:
When booting (reset) the device looks which file is to be loaded.
There may be several files on you device, but only one is used.
When I connects a bluetooth headset it looks in the table, if it finds the exact name of that device. Then it uses that line.
If not, it uses the line with "Default" in then second column .

6. Save it to your desktop PC.

7. Close Excel and if necessary restore the language setting for Excel in the windows language options to german.

8. Connect your HTC device and open then windows dir.

9. copy the audio file to the HTC device and replace the orginal file.

10 Reset the HTC device.

11. Connect the bluetooth device and test if the volume is good for you.

If ist is still too low or too loud change the value in rxVolume. For that I can not upload a file which will help all users.
You have to figure out it for your device.

In this forum there are some hints to change the BT channel. This will not increase the volume. Other people replaced the audiofile by try and error. Some had success. Maybe the name of their device was not found in the original audio file. So replacing the audiofile with a file which contained the name of their BT device helped some people but not all.


I did not find out, if it is possible to change the volume within a phone call, by using the HTC device volume adjust control at the left side of the phone.
HTC has used serveal lines with different volume settings
B6 PHONE_HANDSFREE_VOL0 0 0 0
B7 PHONE_HANDSFREE_VOL1 0 0 1
B8 PHONE_HANDSFREE_VOL2 0 0 2
B9 PHONE_HANDSFREE_VOL3 0 0 3
B10 PHONE_HANDSFREE_VOL4 0 0 4
B11 PHONE_HANDSFREE_VOL5 0 0 5

It corresponds to the 6 levels of volume control. But I dont't know if it can be used it via BT as well. I tested this but I had no success.

Maybe somone will find a switch for that.

Best greetings

I couldn't find the "acousticfile" in the wavedev folder.

I sure hope this works... this phone is so close to perfect but GPS reception and BT volume are the only things holding it back.

Thanks pianoralf for the fix... I hope I get to use it.

[creasemonkey]

This is loud. My first call with it was my boss, it was like he was shouting in my ear. Turned the volume all the way down and it's still loud. This will be handy when he calls during lunch, no more setting down my beer and having to go outside to hear him. Thanks.

If it is too loud, then try lower values 5000 is silent 6000 louder .... 9000 A000 B000 ... FFFF (maximum). These are hexadecimal values. 0123456789ABCDEF

Copy the line and add it at the end of the file. Edit the first Column with the next number (if the last line has E12 in the first column then use E13)
Edit the name of your device by adding a character at the end of the name
Example
E3 BTHS1 0 0 0 4000 4000 0 4000 A000 422
E4 BTHS2 0 0 0 4000 4000 0 4000 FFFF 422

If you change the name in the bluetooth settings from BTHS1 to BTHS2 (here user your device name with a number) you can set different constant values.

At the moment I showed how to adjust the BT volume level to a constant level.
Yes, there is still the open point. I have not figured out, if it is possible to use the volume control of the phone during the call. I asked the HTC support, if the volume of the original HTC headset can be controlled by the phone. The lady at the hotline told me that the headset volume only could be changed at in the file with VOL_1 VOL2 ... etc. I guess there must be a switch somewhere else in the registry to use the phones volume control.

Does someone own a BT headset which can be controlled by the volume regultor of the phone? If yes, we would have a chance to find that switch.

Again look at:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\AcousticFile
Within WaveDev you will find a list which starts with
+Add value+
AcousticFile
Dll
Flags
...
Doubleclick on AcousticFile.
On my sytem the string is: \Windows\AudioPara4-TMO-EU_V5.csv.
This information is taken by the operating system to find out which one of the AudioPara....csv should be used. So I had to copy the file : AudioPara3-TMO-EU_V5.csv to my desktop PC and to modify this file.
Note: This information will be read only during the system boot. So if you change the value or replace the file, it takes effect after the next reboot.

Sorry, maybe your device uses a different path.
Did you search this forum for audiopara? I took the path from older posts on this forum.
Can you search the registry for Audiopara*.CSV?

If you find a path where to find it on your device post it in this forum.

Or just look within the path \Windows\ if you find some files which name begins with audiopara. Just take one of them, (I guess this will be the youngest one) manupulate it and replace it on your device. Then reboot and check, if it takes effekt.

I found the Audiopara.CSV in \Windows,I attached the file here,would you see if it is the right one?and which block to modify to increase the BT volume?ThanksPlease rename cab extension to CSV.

[pianoralf]

I found the Audiopara.CSV in \Windows,I attached the file here,would you see if it is the right one?and which block to modify to increase the BT volume?ThanksPlease rename cab extension to CSV.

Maybe if there is only one audiopara file on your device it is not necessary to specify it in the registry. So if the system does not find this registry key it will look in \windows and use Audiopara.CSV.

Why did you rename it as cab? Don't use extensions with functionality, just for fun. Maybe someone else would download it to a device and wonder why it reports an error text when double clicking on it. This file is text file so if you don't want to use csv, then better use "txt".

You have to look at your headsets' name within that file. If it is not included the phone will take a default value, which is too low.
So which device do you use?
Look at settings -> connections (don't know the exact expressions on your device, I have a german HTC device T-Mobile VARIO III (HTC TYTN II)
Here double click the bluetooth icon. and doubleclick the BT device name.
Please write this name in your next response so, so I can put it in the file for you.
But maybe there is an easier workaround for you:
Change the name in that dialog box to "PHONE_BTHEADSET".
Press "save". This will take effect without reboot. (I fond this name in your file. It already has the maximum output. But this information is not generally. It depends on the specific audiofiles which are configured in the providers brandings for the phones. So it is better to understand how this works and change it manually.

If this works for you, please try the name PHONE_HEADSET_IMIC
Please report, if you can use the volume regulator with this name.

[2kmy477]

You have to look at your headsets' name within that file. If it is not included the phone will take a default value, which is too low.
So which device do you use?
Look at settings -> connections (don't know the exact expressions on your device, I have a german HTC device T-Mobile VARIO III (HTC TYTN II)
Here double click the bluetooth icon. and doubleclick the BT device name.
Please write this name in your next response so, so I can put it in the file for you.

Per your instruction,I changed my BT Device name to PHONE_BTHEADSET,BT volume didn't seem any louder.My original BT device name is "8XXPlantronics",if you can kindly put this into my file,it'll be fantastic.Thank you so much for your help.BTW,I'm using the HTC Mogul(Sprint)and my BT headset is Plantronics Voyager 855 A2DP device.

On my Sprint Mogul with DCD 3.2.5 and 3.42.50 radio, I have not noticed any volume increase on the speakerphone during a call or playing music through Audio Manager. I got the impression that there would be significant difference, but I have noticed none. Could it be that my phone is already maxed out on volume from the get-go?

When on speakerphone, I still have to put it at the max volume to make it mildly useful. Although I still have to put it close to my ear if there's any ambient noise at all.

Ok, this was just a test. I did not find any description how the system handels this fille. Now I have placed 3 additional lines to your file. Please test and report. Before rebooting please turn the BT name back to 8XXPlantronics, or delete the BT entry in bluetooth settings and redo a paaring.

[pianoralf]

On my Sprint Mogul with DCD 3.2.5 and 3.42.50 radio,
What is your BT devices' name (Bluetooth settings)? I had sucess with putting the correct name within the audiofile and setting rxvolume to FFFF.

My phone just kept rebooting after putting your modified version of my .CSV file,it rebooted itself after the HTC splash screen,I performed a hard reset of my device,it booted up fine until i loaded the modified .CSV file again.Do you know what will be the issue?Thanks.

Sorry for the problems you have. But after sync your data should be recovered.

It looks like your system does not like a header line, which I inserted in the last post. I depends on the Operating System Version. Mine has headlines within this file and can handle this.
Now I just added one line with the name of your phone. Lets test it...

Thank you so much for your help.the test2 version worked fine,the BT volume is louder,but i still prefera little more loud,which line i need to change to make it a little more louder?thanks again for your help.

The colums in YOUR version are:
1) G0: 0 ist for the first entry , if you have more devices then use G1 then G2 etc
2) 8XXPlantronic: Name of the BT device (look at BT settings)
3) 5: Volume level: Seems that the phone always uses level 5 and does not use the regulator or other (lower values)
4) 4000 codecTxGain : Level of the Phones' microphone
5) 4000 codecRxGain : Level of the Phones' speaker
6) 0 codecSTGain : Don't know
7) 4000 txVolume : Volume of the BT Headset Microphone (try here Valus 7000)
8) FFFF: rxVolume: BT Volume FFFF is already the maximum value
9) FFFF: rxAgcEnableFlag: Agc normaly is Automatic gain control. This means lower values are regulated louder and extreme lodud values will be regulated to a more silent level. But I have not tested it on my device so that I can say what to do if you want it more louder.

So try to manipulate codeRxGain and AgcEnableFlag. I have the same probelm with my device. In rooms I get an acceptable level like hering someone else speaking in front of me. But in car it is still not loud enough.
Mabe someone else will find more options.

I am glad to hear that you had success. The reason of the frustrating thing here is that many people uploaded their modified file, but none explained how the system handles these file and settings. I have mailed HTC to send me the documentation.
So now I have found out:
You have to put the original name of your BT device in that file and modify rxVolume to get a higher value.
Here the people have to find out which audiofile the deveice uses and look inside it which format is used.
If you find headlines use them to find the correct column.
If there are no headlines, don't put them into the file.
But look at other audiofiles in this forum, which contain headlines. Take them and put them temporay in your file and look if they could fit. After finding the information you need remove then headline.
If your find alread BT Headset names in your file simply replace one name with your BT Headset name and try if the settings fit for your BT headset.

[tom c]

I have the T mobile (HTC) Shadow, and I want to increase my earpiece volume as well. I would like to be able to use this audiopara.csv fix, but if not, could you explain to me what adjustments need to be made in the registry to make that happen? Thanks.

[hub_cap]

Where did you find the Audiopara file? I've looked in the Windows directory...but don't see it. FYI -- I just recently updated to the new 6.1 from the StarCom website for the XV6800...

[hub_cap]

forget my previous post...I simply overlooked it....

[VMackie]

Will this work on the new Verizon WM 6.1 ROM also?

[gsrboy171]

thanks so much. it works fine on my mogul 6.1. loud like how i want it.:)

[Dragnz]

Just tried to install this on my phone. ran the Cab install
Radio version 3.37
windows 6.1

Made my phone silent. What did i do wrong ?

[dave032766]

i tried both the audiopara and the old audio para and phone speaker has no sound earpice was loud but no ringers what so ever ... any ideas where i went wrong.
rom version 3.03.651.2
radio ver 3.42.30
pri ver 2.04_003

only way i got ringer back was to go in windows folder and remove audiopara folder

[MerkurMan]

Ditto for me on the silent phone. I used the cab to install, and when I replaced the original file everything works as normal. Any ideas?

ROM: 3.09.666.1
radio: 3.42.50
pri: 2.03_007

[Billtech]

hello tried this on my sprint vogue it bumped the audio up greatly
however it turned my ringer to long vibrate only no ringers play just vibrate :confused:
also i notice there diff filesizes from the original audiopara here and my original audiopara for my vogue
ive attached my vogue audiopara if this can be fixed to work it would be great 1st post here love the forums :)

[ncscotts]

I have the newest official Sprint ROM with 6.1. The cab file silenced my phone. I tried taking the "original" and it still doesn't work. Help?


EDIT: I finally got BillTech's to work and set my phone back to normal. But anyway, this "upgrade" does not work for people with the Vogue/Touch and the newest Sprint ROM.

[mrcamera]

My computor will not let me move the audiopara file onto my phone. Or will it let me copy my phones audiopara file out???? When I extract the file out I cnnot see it on my computor. What am I doing wrong???

sorry but imo if you cant figure that out you shouldn't be messing with the phone
just my 2c not trying to be a dick :-|

u need to uncheck hide system files in your folder options view tab to see it locally on your computer

on the phones end copy file to a temp area then use phone to copy/paste/overwrite file to /windows folder
good luck

LOL. This is probably a true statement.

[mrcamera]

Yes did all that but I got it with total commander thanks

[Billtech]

great happy to hear that :-)

[Billtech]

still like to know if scrufdog can fix the htc vogue version i posted of this file

[imdarkside]

thanks for posting the original audiopara file. yeah i didnt back up but it ended up being a good thing cuz the original file actually boosted the volume so i got what i wanted after all. thnks again

[PCweber]

I could not replace the existing audiopara.csv file in the Windows folder. Gives me an error. Do I need to change the file attribute or something?

[kellerm]

I am going deaf not by volume abuse but by age... I have a windows dumbphone version 6 and I want to increase the volume on it. Is there a cab or program that will do this? It is a palm 700w... Thanks in advance on any help locating such a thing!!!:eek::eek::eek:

Is there anyone who could tell me if there really is a way to increase the volume of windows mobile 6???

[CSS-Omega]

That's awesome man! Helped me out heaps. I am deaf as is and that just made my night. Thanks!

[lilhgarcia1]

I need help when i try to install it it said the previous version of scrufdog audiopara.csv could not be removes and after that it said installation of audiopara.cab was unsuccessful

[moleculez]

Does this work on the X1?
Also is there a way to restore the original settings in cause u feel the new autopara is craking up the volume or something?

[Nateg281]

I just installed this on my XV6800 and hardly notice any difference at all. I did let the phone soft reset like it wanted. Nothing really happened after that. It's a tad louder...but only by a tiny margin. Did I do something wrong? The rest of you seem to have had great luck with this file.....anyone have any tips or advice? Thanks...

[penguinjet]

I have install it and did the soft reset. But no luck, the sound from the phone is just getting very soft and this is hardly to hear the sound... Just a question, why the audiopara is not working in all the phone?

[Nateg281]

I need the cab file for the original. I updated a friends phone and now she has no audio at all. It worked just fine on my XV6800 but messed hers up. I tried the link on here, but it's not working. Thanks!

THIS IS FOR THE 3.XX GPS ROMS ONLY.

SEE UPDATE BELOW

This will not work with the older 2.XX ROMs, the files are different between the ROMs and using the wrong one may make your phone SILENT.

This file is designed to increase the volume of the phone. It increases the ear piece speaker, speakerphone speaker, and headphone/handsfree speaker levels.

The ear piece and speakerphone speakers start at the factory Sprint level for low, but get louder in greater steps. The loudest was near the edge of distortion when I called my voicemail.

The headphone/handsfree level has been increased by about 15%, no where near as much as the first 2, but its headphones, so I'm not jacking it up that much.



To install....

1. Download audiopara.csv.txt
2. Rename to audiopara.csv (meaning you get rid of the .txt part)
3. Backup audiopara.csv from your Windows directory of your phone.
4. Copy into the Windows directory of your phone, overwriting the original.
5. Soft reset. Yes you need to soft reset.



Disclaimer : I am not responsible if you break your phone or go deaf. This is not a hard thing to do, read the directions twice. Also be careful when using initially as the volume is louder than it was when you got the phone.

Anyone may feel free to use this file in a custom ROM or whatever, jsut put my name in there, if you would. :D

Thanks to mswlogo for figuring out how to do this in the older ROMs.

Glad I could finally give back to the community that has helped me out so much. Enjoy.

FILE: http://www.scrufdog.com/AudioPara.csv.txt Right Click, Save Target As...

If someone wants to do a mirror thing go for it.

UPDATED

UPDATE: NOW WITH CAB FILE
I've also added the original since people arent backing up.


Here's the new and improved way to install. This zip file has my original .csv file in it AND now comes with a .cab file for easy install, without overwriting and copying and such.

Instructions are the same for the csv file.

Instructions for the cab are fairly simple.

1. Copy cab to phone.
2. Run cab, install to Device.
3. When done, soft reset.
4. Enjoy loudness.

Enjoy.

Let me know if there are problems.

[htrednek]

Does anyone have the audiopara file that is in DCD's 4.1.2 rom or preferably a much louder one(like the coarse extended version)? I tried this one and like a newb forgot to backup the previous one. I finally got the phone setup the way I like and would hate to have to hard-reset it.

I had used the audiopara from here and then no sound at all, then found one for the 2x that ~sorta~ works. There is basic sound, but the ringer volume is all over the place. It rings high, then low, then scratchy all on the same ring.

Heck, I'd even take a guide that describes what values go where and I'd edit the file myself.

Any help would be appreciated. Thx.

[Kmo]

i tried this and my god the in call volume boost is like an early christmas present. I love it. but not that it really matters that much for me, but the volume from the speaker on the back (I'm using the Vogue btw) is gone. I mean you can hear it if you put it right beside your ear, but it's very very faint. With the headphones in, the sound works great, as well as in call, but the back speaker volume is kinda shy?

[tymcgrane70]

I've been reading through post for the past few days. I'm having a little problem if someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm using the ppc6800 with ROM V. 2.17.557 and radio V. 1.64.00 w/ browser 6.0.

My volume for listening and speacker are extreamly low. I contacted HTC and they said their is no upgrade ROM for my "legacy model" Which I just purchased new at a cell phone store. So if I'm not able to upgrade my ROM how do I get my volume up?

[Drumalot2008]

Wow ...works amazing!

[cyberhern]

Wow ...works amazing!

Which Audiopara is the loudest?
I have tried scrufdog GC and Nueaudio and wish it could be more. Is there a way to check?
I have also looked at the audiopara file with excel and could not see the changes.

[juanej]

this does not work on my htc touch viva :S

[crazysane]

Was wondering if someone in fact had a new Audiopara file for the new dcd 4.1.2 ROM. I had the louder para file on the 3.2.6 but now with the new ROM finding my phone is much much faster. So if anyone is able to conjure up a new file for the new DCD its worth a beer on me.

Email me if this request is fullfilled.

Thanks.

Was wondering if Scrufdog or someone might be able to help me out. I've silenced my Mogul 6800. Entirely my fault, but can't figure out what I did wrong or how to correct.

Checked ROM per above before installing audiopara - have stock Sprint ROM 3.56 Radio 3.42. Downloaded cab to phone, and installed.

Not sure what I might have done wrong, but now no audio. Anyone have any tips on how I can correct or fix?

Only program that gives me a tip as to what might be wrong is SJPhone, when trying to open gives following error.
"No input audio devices are found. Please check that your audio devices are present and/or connected, turned on and their drivers are installed."

Thank you...

[dannybz]

2 things for you to think about...

1. If you just got the phone and its un-modified, then you would need a different audiopara file. You need to check your ROM version under Device Information. If its 2.0...something then you need an older audiopara file. If its 3.xx whatever then you can use mine.

2. You dont copy the zip to the phone, you open the zip on your computer, extract the cab file from it, then copy the cab file to your phone. From your phone you open the cab file and it installs the file for you. However, make sure you check your ROM version first, because if you have the wrong ROM for the audiopara file, then you'll loose all sound upon installing this.

I just bought a Touch2 (Mega) ... see attachment.

Does it mean my ROM is 1.xx ?? Can I still use your audiopara CAB file Scrufdog? And if things go wrong, can I use the original audiopara CAB posted by you to restore the settings?

[jdm4lyfe]

im really really really noob at this. i have an htc touch pro that i need the audio cab thingy for, where do i need to go to get it???
