Hi!

I love my Diamond, but it has one big problem - I wasn't able to hear it in noisy environments. I realized, that poor sound is somehow related with AudioPara3.csv file in Windows directory. I made some tests with this file and whoaaa... my phone is quite louder now. Now I wish to share it with you. Unzip the file, overwrite the old file with the new one in the Windows folder (make backup before) and soft reset the device. You must hear the difference..

I didn't test your file yet, I m sure it maye help, but I made some tests with CorePlayer by change the equalizer parameters and got little bit more volume but with distortion ,seems like the main problem is the speaker itself....

Click to expand...

AudioPara3.csv file contains volume and gain values for speaker and microphone. I've tested it, and by raising volume values to the maximum - nothing happened, by raising gain values to the maximum- volume is louder. IMO this is maximum, that Diamond's poor speaker can produce. I am satisfied with it, maybe someone can do more tests and get better result.
Btw, all sounds are louder now: ringtone, speakerphone, system volume, music playback, etc.

I tried this and it really sounds like massive quality loss. This has to be tweaked much more.

Thanks! Will try this out. If it works out well I would love to see this tweak/fix implemented in some cooked ROM's ^^
EDIT: This works out great! A bit load sometimes, and I can't lower the volume, but atleast I hear the phone ringing now

Thanks. Worked perfect. It is a lot louder now. But needs a little tweaking because of distortion.
