Registry help needed please- SPEAKER VOLUME

[akashastrega]

I have used the tweaks found in the Wiz/Wiz section (and subscribed to a thread without much response http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=256734 ), as well as other WM6 device tweaks and ones found by googling...my issue is, and no one seems to know what/how...
My internal speaker, the mono speaker used for phone calls, is very low. The tweaks I applied have made the speakerphone louder, and my BT earpiece louder, but if I am in my house, and get a call, I usually dont use BT or speakerphone. I sound like a reverse Verizon commercial...instead of "can you hear me" it is "I can't hear you".
I have used the audiogain tweaks (also known as audiogain cc), and also HKCU\Control Panel tweaks. I have reset my device. My physical settings are cranked all the way up (slider, and volume icon).
Does ANYONE know what reg entry specifically targets the internal single (top of device between flashing lights) speaker to increase in-call volume??
I dont mind being a guinea pig, so if you have any ideas about this issue, I'd sure love to hear from you and try them out.
As always, thanks in advance!

***PS- am using AMPv2 rom with radio 2.37 IPL/SPL 2.26 (if this helps at all)

Does anyone have any idea which reg entry may specifically target the single internal speaker? Please and Thank You.

wish I did. that would be the first thing I would fix. try apache forum as well. it is basicaly the same hardware, But I remember that a lot of verizon users traded their's in innitialy, because they could not hear anything.

hERE ARE MY RELATIVE REG SETTINGS FOR YOU TO COMPARE`

HKLM/Software/Audiogain

EAC_GAIN_EMBEDED (mine is set to: 6d)
HEADSET 67
EARPHNE_UPLINK VOL 19
HEADSET_UPLINK VOL 13
RECIEVE_UPLINK VOL 18
SPEAKER UPLINK VOL 10

HKCU/CONTROLPANEL/PHONE
VOL 0X0000FFFF(65535)

You may also want to look at these:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Loudest InCallVolume
InitVol 0x00000001(1)

HKCU\ControlPanel\Volume
Here are my settings:
Key 0x00010000(65536)
Mute 0x00000003(3)
Ringer 0xfffffff(-1)
Screen 0x00010000(65536
Volume 0xffffffff(-1)


I believe you will have better luck adjusting the volume in HKCU rather than HKLM.

I hope this helps you figure out this problem. I know many of us suffer. Somehow mine is either ok, or I'm just used to it.

Thanks for your response. I have played with many of those areas, but perhaps I haven't figured out the right tweaking level yet, so I will go back to those regs and play some more. I will check the Apache section out, perhaps I could gain more insight there. I'll say this...if I finally find the right settings, I should win a front row seat to see Barry Manilow in concert--make my hard work pay off (yes you read correctly, I love Barry!)

I will certainly post any findings. This is a real pain in the ass. I love my wizard, but the speaker issue is frustrating.

Thanks again for your insight.

**EDIT**
HKLM/Control Panel/Volume AND HKLM/Drivers/Speaker both potentially affect volume (I think), but in my rom, there is no settings. I am not sure if the no settings IS the default settings, and am not sure if I can futz with these?? Does anyone have an idea if it is safe to attempt tweaks in these 2 areas??

[S.V.I]

it is safe if you back up your reg (original)

these settings are in my 588 (which I haven't posted yet) which I will post when it is ready. it is currently being simmered like a stew. :)

PS. when I was tweaking the camera graphics, I noticed a lot of functions that are not in the registry. about 1/3 of the icons do not show up under any circunstance. which leads me to believe that the program is capable of more than the inhibited registry.
so perhaps I will export my reg for you to try. unfortuantely, I can't post them using opera mini :(

How about this one,

HKCURRENTUSER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall \Attenuat ionCategory = 0

The setting was on "2", changed it to "0"

What did you find when making that change? everything I have read claims it only affects the incall beeps when raising the volume slider, so I haven't really bothered with it...but I have been toying with the possibility, just for sh*ts and giggles, because at this point I have pretty much exhausted the reg entries I can think of.

Thank you for your response. Every little bit helps, and keeps me from just randomly choosing a number out of my ass to change the reg entry to! :D

[dudeluv]

Did you try it? It should work. It will "increase in-call volume??" You will not crash your device for trying it.

[akashastrega]

I noticed only a slight volume increase using the attenuation fix. My speakerphone sounds great though. I may just have to save my pennies and get the speaker replaced==maybe it just gave up the ghost, because none of these reg entries is giving me the volume I need.

Any other suggestions, tips, insight, etc would be appreciated.

[akashastrega]

Still seeking some insight. Apparently the repair shop locally wants to charge LOTS of money for the speaker. The speaker worked fine prior to installing the AMP rom. I like the features of the rom so don't want to swap if I don't have to, but I REALLY do need to fix this speaker volume issue.

Can anyone provide me further assistance/suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

[okctmaxxer]

while your at it does anyone know what reg entries are for upping the mic evel to make it more sensitive?

[akashastrega]

I know mine increased when I tweaked something in the 4 audiogain files...but I don't remember which ones I tweaked. Look through the thread I linked in my first posting it should help.

This is my solution (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513013) , and on all versions and over 30 devices tested by me.
