Maybe its just the headphones that are supplied with the M5000, but it seems a little quiet to me. When I'm listening to Podcasts on the tube with it, I sometimes can barely hear whats being said. I never had this issue with my PDA2K.
Anyone know of anything that can be done to crank the volume up higher?
Yes, push O2 etc. to release a ROM update for this known issue
same problems here on the tube though sometimes - eg this morning - the volume was really high despite all settings being the same and listening to the same mp3s as yesterday.
Using different headphones seems to help a bit but there is definitely something not correct...
I have the Qtek 9000 and the volume using my AKG-Earphones is very high!
I have the feeling, the volume on my MDA Pro ist very law, too. When I ride a bike with my earphones, it's to quiet for me. I can't find in "settings" something like "system volume" (in my old iPaq there was something like this) Is there any way to solve this problem?

My small opinion:
There are so many locations where you set the sound volume.
Just to check, as I had the same problem:
1. The slider button on the front side is put on max?
2. The Windows mediaplayer (if you use that) has a plus and minus... Is it on 100%
3. And then maybe your headset has a sound volume wheel also?
If not satisfied, there is an option to enhance your soundfiles.
I used it for my Nokia 9500 and it works fine.It runs on your Pc and is free. Its called mp3gain.
http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/
It can do all files in a folder in one time. Dont exagerate however or your sound will be distorted. Start with small steps (3db?)
There are different options. just use the tool to add some db's.
Menu/modify gain/apply constant gain and move the slider 3 db.

System Volume
I have already bought the headphones from Sennheiser, and the sound quality and volumen is much, much better now, when I compare it to the original headphones. But I will proof Your advises, too.
Thanks for the tips.
Hallo from Poland :wink:
But with these new headphones can you still answer calls and such?

Do the headphones make that much difference?
I have a cheap pair of off-brand headphones and my Qtek 9000 is very quiet. :?
Good earphones make a huge difference. I was really surprised. I use them only for music listening and not for calling.
Use pocket player or similar and adjust the pre-amp settings.
guys ive seen som eposts about problems with volume but i cant find a solution for my problem
when in a call i cant adjust the volume???????
when i push up or down the volume screen appears and it moves up and down but it doesnt actually decrease or increase the volume??? any ideas please?
ive tried the system tab and also the ring tab
its really loud and quite annoying
Do you have S2U2 installed? Encountered a similar problem with this S/W installed....had to remove it unfortunately, after using it on several previous devices.....
hmm no i dont have s2u2 installed, il have to see if i installed something that caused this
anyone?????????
got the same pronblem... not sure since when. I have installed s2u2, but set it like recommended by other users who definitely CAN control the in-call-volume... got no idea... looks like a hard-reset may be necessaray... but I just don't want ang got no time... ****...
regards jan
I CAN control the volume, but it doesn't go to zero. I mean the minimum value is still high.
earpiece volume too low
i thought i'd post this here: i have found the earpiece volume during a call to be rather too low, even though i set the volume to the highest level. other aspects of the sound function seem to work nicely, loud speaker and headphones are pretty loud, but the earpiece is too damn low. any thoughts..
any idea if HD tweak can increase the earpiece volume
i found that option 3.3 acoustic setting when set to maximal increased my earpiece volume dramatically during calls. and that option 3.4 increase sound increases the ringer volume. can anyone confirm
i just got my HTC HD...my happiness knew no bounds...
but when i made calls...the world fell on me ...the ear piece volume is too low compared to other mobiles; its hardly hearable
i might be missing something...plz help me as soon as possible

could it be the simple issue that, by default, HD changes the ring volume and not the speaker volume when you press volume rocker?
you can check this and if this is your problem, do a search through the forum and you will find the registry tweak, or the volume cab to change this.
good luck!
Hi folks,
found another possible reason (but unfortunaly no solution yet) for in-call volume control not working... as this thread mainly focuses on s2u2, i've opened a new one here
regards jan
Hi, I'm not sure this works on every windows mobile 6.1 device but as I myself have an X1i, I thought I'd share this (in the hopes of being useful to some people).
I've always found the speaker a piece of **** when it comes to playing music (as well as the vibrator.. but that doesn't really matter right now).
One morning, I woke up with my usual alarm using G-alarm and I thought I'd connect my HiFi system to it so I had some better quality music playing while waking up.
I connected it but noticed that no sound came through the 3.5" jack but instead it still came through the speaker of my phone.
What happened though is that there was a small pause in the playback of the alarm and after that (0.5 seconds) the sound quality was MUCH MUCH richer than without plugging the 3.5" jack in! So basically all you hear when you play music is a cellphone kind of sound but when I plugged in that cable (doesn't matter if it's a hifi or your headphones), the music playing actually had bass and mid-level tones.
Everyone should try this out and see if they get the same results.
I've been looking through the registry to see if there are any sound profiles that windows mobile switches to when the jack is plugged in so I could use the same if there isn't anything plugged in but I couldn't find anything.
I really hope someone else can because the sound is SO much better!
Regards, Karel
Can you provide instructions and steps on how you did it??
Instructions
1. Install G-alarm
2. Set the alarm to a time (the next minute? ;p)
3. Wait for the alarm to start
4. Plug something in the 3.5" hole
5. Be amazed!
ps. I found another thread here about a third speaker - wheather this is the case or not, it does sound MUCH better using the non-existant speaker! xD
Apparently it's the 'speakerphone' and it can be turned on manually with 'audioRoute' from Teksoft
I just wonder why not all media players use that speakerphone.
Also I'm wondering if it's possible to remove the notification that WM6.1 gives when the speakerphone is turned on.

If you don't hear anything, press the first button (so the 'E' appears), then press the third button and you should see a phonespeaker icon (with the notification).
Actually i posted this before here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544878
and well the sound is really amazing is true ... like a laptop it beats all cell phones i had till now ... also n95 8gb and n97.
I think the reason that it isnt the default for music playback is to preserve the quality of the speaker only for the calls in loudspeaker mode.

But the thing is, G-alarm can just switch modes (normal speaker -> speakerphone) without displaying the ugly icon along with the notification.
I think mediaplayers should just have the option to use that speakerphone lol

Okay, thank you, it works now but I have to switch the trakc and increase volume and stuff, it takes some time to work. But quality is indeed better. Not too much, though, I find. A little bit clearer, but not louder.
Hi, Just got my HTC HD2 after a break from HTC handsets.
I've noticed when listening to music, even when turned up max, the music is quite quiet.
I've tried the audio booster but that seems to just do bass, vocal etc. not the overall volume.
On my old Omnia I had the same issue, but you could run SoundTester.exe and manually increase the db's.
But I don't seem to have that on the HD2.
Any ideas how to make the music louder? I mean walking past traffic & the music is easily drowned out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Maybe its the headphones? I have a set of fontopia headphones and on full volume it is properly painful.
Yeah my sennies get hilariously loud on full whack, suggest noise isolating as opposed to simple in ear. Once I got the correct sized ear adapter on em, even the tube cant intrude on my tunes
I'll check out srs wow thanks.
I'm using a set of Sony MDR-XD200 headphones at the moment, as I wasn't a fan of the standard HTC ones. They've been ok with other handsets & MP3 players (Except the omnia which had this problem too).

lol, no it was definetly quiet, alot more than it should be.
Do you remember on some of the old custom roms (I had one on my p3600) the audio broke and was really quiet, that is what this seems like.
But the SRS WOW has just about done the job, thanks
You know on normal windows mobile you can click on the speaker at the top and adjust ringing volume & device volume, I can't do that on the HD2, I can use the volume keys on the side, but that just does 1 generic volume, I was wondering if the device volume was set low, but I can't check it.

I'd say he needs some better headphones with higher impedence. I have Sennheisers and they are very very loud but then they are 70 Ohms
The only problem I have with my HTC HD2 as a music player is probably going to sound pretty minor. I have a set of Sennheisser in ear buds that I love and used to use on an iPod Touch. At it's loudest, the volume is a bit much for me usually, but the bar just below it I find isn't loud enough. Picky, I know, but it just seems like a big leap between volume levels. Is there any way of helping this?

Yep I have some too, dug them out last night to give them ago, no better really.
So I've tried Sennheiser Eco Ear Canal, Sony MDR-XD200 & the standard HTC ones packaged with the HD2.
All are too quiet, it's not my hearing, tried them all on the Omnia & they are deafening, also with the HD2 I can hear other stuff going on around me, cars, walking on gravel etc. Very strange others are not having this issue.

I had this issue. If you go to the volume screen that appears when you press the side volume buttons you can adjust the system volume by touching the bars to get gradual and precise volume increase/decrease. Using the toggle buttons makes it jump too much, stupid design imo.
Also the music player should have it's OWN volume control, instead it adjusts the entire system volume, again a ridiculous design flaw IMO also the volume graphic in the music player dissapears sometimes in rom 1.44, can't comment on other roms. I've had 2 HD2's and both have done the same thing.
Getting back to Junglist: I think you have a hardware issue mate, the full volume on this unit is very loud and even louder when used with audio booster. No one else has this problem. I use the sennheiser (spelling!) cx300's awesome headphones, and cheap
Talking of Audio booster again, in conjunction with the music player it is excellent, it handles the frequencies very well compared to say coreplayers eq that end up distorting the headphones with even minor bass frequency boosting. Using coreplayers pre amp is pointless also, complete distortion and hard to control, not very finger friendly.
It's such a shame about the Audio Booster switching itself off when jumping tracks even when it is left running in the background, it's only use therefore, is listening to long mixes. Too much of a pain to keep switching it back on after individual tracks You also have to switch it back on if you pause music and navigate away for a bit.
I hope HTC are aware of this and fix it in the next firmware update

25. Allow Audio Booster to Stay On.
Notice how after every song Audio Booster turns off again? A very simple solution is to press the Home button and not the "Done" softkey. This keeps Audio Booster running.
58. Keep Audio Booster Running After Each Song
Another way to keep Audio Booster running while playing music is to use the following reg tweak:
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config\enter_su spend and change 1 to 0
Although I have left the booster off and the volume no higher than 85% as with my Sennheiser HD-25 professional monitoring/DJ headphones on its too loud above these settings. With other headphones I have tried I agree its a bit quiet but not too bad. Maybe you have deafened yourself by having your music too loud

Thanks mate but i know about them. The tweaks don't work
even when audiobooster is still in the background (and dutty's task manager says so) it still doesn't work. Sometimes it does though, it's a bit random.
It certainly doesn't work if you pause the music and come back to it
Tried Nitrogen? I downloaded the other day but its still sat on my sd card
I dont know what I am doing wrong but I find the sound level extremely poor for calls
I tried with a bluetooth headset, the outside speaker and the jack with my mp3 headset
it's pretty weird since when I play videos or music I am impressed by how loud I can push the Tab...
I am on AT&T with JMC (but was the same on JM6). And I set the sound at max
anybody has the same issue? Am I doing something wrong? Or is there any sound booster app for calls? (and is it necessary?)
Thanks for your help
My Tab isn't phone-enabled, but since you're new to Android, I thought I should point out that there are multiple volume settings, and in-call volume is one of them. Menu Key -> Settings -> Sound Settings -> Volume should give you all the sliders (Ringtone, Media, Alarm, System, Notification...). There are apps/widgets too that let you get to/change these settings without having to go into the settings menu every time (audio manager has been a decent widget for me). Until you're actually in the call the hardware rocker is usually doing the ringtone or media volume.
When I use mine with Skype 60% is usually blaringly loud for me, and I don't even have the system or media volume maxed out.
Sorry if it's something you know you've done, but thought it might help. If not, maybe someone else has had the same issue and solved it.

yes this I had figured out and set at the maximum
Everything non call related is really strong... It's conversation from normal calls that is ridiculously low
Am I the only one ?? What's wrong with my tab ?
Anyone with an opinion about this ?
Voice-enabled on AT&T with JM6. Have good results with the built-in speakers and cheap Nokia BH-214 stereo Bluetooth earbuds. I ordered the OEM earbuds, but I do understand that the 3.5mm jack port in finicky. Is your Bluetooth 2.1 or newer? Do you have many open applications when trying to place or receive calls? I've notice the sound stutter a bit on the speakers when I've got several apps open.
Here's something I noticed, when in call using my BT Headset, the volume slider sometimes says its on max but the output isnt. Try to lower or increase your volume. Once you hear the max level beep, it gets louder.
Im on a SingTel Tab by the way.

Edit: yeah I can definitely reduce the volume but my max was my actual max. As anybody tried to compare the volume on the speaker when playing music whith the volume on the speaker when on a call... It's like 5 to 10 times higher volume on a call !! And then same issue on a headset

As mentioned I tried it with everything I could... The default external speaker, a simple stereo headset (Not bluetooth), a bluetooth headset. They all give the same. Low volume
If you don't like volume in speaker, headset, bluetooth....You can change settings in "hidden" Audio menu. There you can change volume of individual ouput, but be careful!!!!!
Before change anything, make sure you can put it back the same number if you are not satisfied or have problem ..so wright it somewhere anything you wish to change.
Good Luck with experiment. If I remember correctly(from my old Samsung i780-Windows phone) "TX" settings is for output and "RX" for imput, but I can be wrong, so be careful.

what I do is, when in a call, I lower the volume by about 2, then increase it until i hear the max volume beep. The moment i hear it, the volume on my headset usually jumps up.
I have the same problem with the speaker volume. At maximum you cannot hear it. The bluetooth seems to work OK. IIRC JK5 software seemed to work correctly.

So I guess for you too, music or movies play with a high volume on the speakers whereas for calls it's rather low volume ?
Yes bluetooth or headset I can hear but still quite low volume compared with music...

My problem is specifically for calls. Anything else is fine and working well. That's the weird issue... I dont want to boost the volume for anything else!
That's pretty weird... I have been playing with the tab and I found out that for calls, the highest level I can have (by hear) is two notches below the highest. That's by far the loudest I get (If I push higher the sound decreases)
Am I the only one ? It really pisses me off.... I don't know how it can be like that (I am on JMC ROM after flashing a JM6 ROM over the JK5 from Russia (I am on an AT&T Tab flashed to get phone working)
Someone else get the same experience ?
I can confirm that the max 'in call' volume is two notch below the max !!! And I have the same tab/setting of the OP.
Aren't there some codes you can enter to adjust the volume level on calls and music, etc.?? like the Galaxy S?

Such a stupid bug. Come on Samsung...
FYI it is fixed with the firmware JME
Sound level is much more acceptable and the highest level is not anymore two notched below the max
