Default T-Mobile TP2 HDtweak Audio Increase

In HD Tweak, I set Volume Control\Acoustic settings to anything above the 100db limited (Default) - and audio gets boosted accordingly, but the microphone doesn't work and I'm unable to talk to anyone.. anybody have the same issue or any workaround?

I just want to boost the audio levels of the device overall. Btw, I also tried the audio booster within HDtweak and it doesn't seem to do anything. I also tried the audio boost cabs in the HDtweak site and no change.

I applied this tweak also and same thing. It even screwed up my bluetooth headset and i couldn't hear anything. When switching to speaker you only heard slight static. Only time i could hear the caller was the internal speaker but caller couldn't hear me. Had to go back to default for it function normally again. Not sure of any work around yet.

Hmm...I changed mine to "Normal" and had no problems with mic.
Guess I'll have to test further.

Did you happen to apply any other changes prior to HDtweak (such as: SRS WOW, or applying the AudioPara3.csv file floating around)? These may be conflicting with the change.

Nope, I didn't have anything else running or installed. Tried it on both mine and my fiance's TP2, with the same results.

Right now I'm using that tweaked AudioPara3.csv, but I can't really tell a difference if there's a difference, maybe a slight volume increase.

Not 100% sure of what you've done, but suggest you revert everything back to stock (HDtweak all audio related changes to default settings, remove 'audio boost cabs' and the AudioPara3.csv file), and soft-reset.
Test that mic is working properly, then try HDtweak -> only the acoustic settings to "Normal".
Soft-reset and check for mic functionality.

Sorry about that.

I meant previously that I had reset all settings back to stock, and was just running the AudioPara3.csv tweak (which didn't seem to do much or anything at all).

I reverted back to stock again now, and am just running HD Tweak\Acoustic Settings\Normal. I tested the mic with a call and it does indeed work.

I can't really tell if the volume is louder though, I think it is, but it's just hard to compare. I had set it to Maximal before and could definitely tell a huge difference, so I guess that's what I'm aiming for, or at least intermediate, but for now the Normal setting will have to do. Thanks sir.

I have installed & run HDtweak on my TP2. I hear no noticeable audio level increase. I have set all volume tweaks to max. Is a reset needed to "apply" the tweaks?

I have downloaded and tried the audiopara3 full & light boost and it made my device to where I couldn't hear the other caller at all. But it did make the ringtone louder.

I un-installed and know its back to normal.

I am having the same problem with HD tweak.
The mic goes off each time i increase the volume in HD tweak.
Still waiting for a solution and searching daily for a descent tweak, (Pro2 tweak maybe)?

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I was wondering if this HDTweak problem was ever solved?

The only way I can get my unbranded TP2's music players (WMP, Audiomanager, Coreplayer and Pocket Player) working at a comparable volume to my iPod Touch is by using HDTweak's volume tweaks, but I can't hear anything when making calls through my handset or speakerphone.

I've already tried multiple extusb adaptors and various headphones, and the sound is still considerably more muffled and not as loud as my iPod Touch.

I'd appreciate any help on this. Thanks!
