Volume Seems Week

[kunicki]

I find that the overall volume on the Treo Pro is not strong. When listening through a speaker or even sometimes through headphones.

Now I realize the quality of the recording is a part of it, but frankly for many recordings i can listen with the earbuds on and cranked to the loudest and its still not that loud.

Anyone know of any tweaks to increase the volume out put? I really would love the built in speaker to be louder.

i dont know any tweaks, but i had the same issue, i even called tech support to get a diff phone swapped out, the tech told me to take the plastic piece off because it covers the speaker hole on the screen.....lol....i know how stupid! other then that i dont know anything to make it sound louder besides the keys on the sides to turn the volume up and down. I did notice that the speaker phone gets louder if u have the phone on a table or something. if this info didnt help then sorry for my worthless post...lol

Did you try removing anything covering the speaker? Yes not a fun idea, but if you did, did it seem at all noticable.

Frankly, even with the head phones its not very loud.

Funny bit of information -- if you want more juice out of your headphones, turn the phone off of silent mode, unplug the headphones and wait for sound to come out of the speakers, and than plug the headphone back in... youve now doubled your hearing loss.

Thanks for the tip. Can you restate the steps. Its not clear (and I could not reproduce it.) Maybe it would be more clear if you describe the original state of the phone. Example: Headphones plugged in and mute switched so speaker is muted.

Thanks

Okay here goes, My phone is usually on Vibrate.

Plug headphones in.
Start music.
Move slider to speaker.
Unplug headphones until you hear sound coming out of the speaker.
Plug headphones in.

I noticed this when listening to music on my headphones and i'd get a call, the volume would crank...
Give it a shot, it works for me!

I could have a bunk phone, but if it means anything I'm from Toronto, and i'm using a Bell Treo Pro.
