Ok, I found a hint at the solution to the sound limiting thing on the AT&T New Rom.....
Going in to the Registry:
Code:
My Registry
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER]ControlPanel/SoundCategories/...
Under: Feedback to RingPreview there is this little line called InitVol I believe it has something to do with this line as if I take it out, I get almost no sound... and in some spots it will simply place itself back in if removed!
I will continue to tinker with this! :twisted:
MrDollyMaker
I just discovered something and would like someone to confirm this one...... When you click on the speaker, if you turn the volume down on the PocketPC side and leave the phone up to full, the increasing ring goes away. If you put the volume back up on the PocketPC side, the increasing ring begins to start again....
Anyone confirm this odd bit? :shock:
MrDollyMaker
you are right
I can!

Glad to know it's not just me.... found a similar thread on AT&T's support forums.... AT&T said to use WAV files and they will play loud... :shock:
Granted. Am I not using a WAV file for my ringer? (double checks) YEP.... must be me, not AT&T! NOT!
MrDollyMaker
Mental note:
Must be a programed line due to the Volume Attinuation is based from the volume setting on the PocketPC side..... Now to figure out where this code is to try and remove or dissable it!
Example (But not exactly writen like this):
Code:
VolumeLimiting=(((Volume/2)*InitVol)*AttinuationCategory)
Granted, maybe it could be considering all are actual settings in the Registry except VolumeLimiting... :shock:

Ring volume
Ok. I too can confirm that this works. BUT.... Can you also confirm that it now only RINGS ONCE and then the rest is silent.

Hmmm, haven't had that problem. I solved the issue with the alarms and reminders being silent by using BatteryPack2004 v5.2. It has a feature called Power Alert that when turned on can up the reminder and alarm volume to MAX even if you have it muted!
Now I can have the PDA volume off and ringer up full and still hear my alarms and reminders. (just can't hear the notices) If I play MP3s or WMA files through media player I have to turn it up of course.....
Still cant' find the fix for this yet. :evil:
MrDollyMaker
I'm using a WAV file though... I'll check weather that has an effect or not..
Hi everyone...
I just upgraded mine to WM2003 from O2 XDA.
I know that WM2003 phone edition allows MIDI files as ringtones, all you have to do is copy the midi files you want to \windows\rings folder and you should be able to pick the ring from option.
however, when I selected the midi file ringtone from the option, IT CANNOT PLAY! :roll:
is this just me or everyone has the same problem?
let me know... thanks heaps...
Has anyone found a solution to this problem yet? This "feature" REALLY sucks, and makes my Voice Command not nearly as useful as it could be.

Unfortunatly no.... I'm now waiting on the new T-Mobile rom that is due out soon. Talked with some of the techs there. They claim that the delay in release is due to some querks with a new driver for the battery that increases the battery life by almost 2 hours in PDA mode along with a querk with the sound not working right. :lol:
They did say expect it some time in March as long as they at least solve the sound problem.
MrDollyMaker
I actually think AT&T or MS made a simple but fatal mistake in either wavedev.dll or PhonePH.dll or possibly setawsnotifyreg.exe.
I think what they aimed for was to have the ringer start at the PDA level and then slowly rise to the Phone level if they differed. Then someone managed to get it all wrong and made it start at MaxPDA-PDA or possibly Phone-PDA instead of Min(PDA,Phone).
I've tried to find a way to replace wavedev.dll and PhonePH.dll to try my theory, but haven't yet found a way. I'll do a little messing around with the registry settings as well...

Been there, done that.
Be aware that the T-Mobile rom has an even worse bug than the increasing ring. It starts up by itself.
Suddenly, for no apparent reason, the device is ON. Pressing the power button will make it go to sleep again, but sometimes it goes on again just seconds later. As things get worse while moving, it could have something to do with signal strength or handover.
Walking through the output from ssnap it seems that the AT&T rom is actually newer than the T-Mobile. The date of most of the files in 4.01.16 is back in September, while most of the files in the AT&T rom is from mid December.
After having enough of accidental phone calls and calendar items because the phone turned itself on in my pocket I will try the AT&T rom for a while and see if it's any better. And actually, the volume is not that big a deal if you use something like spb pocket+. Just set the PDA volume to the lowest or next lowest setting, the phone to the next highest or highest, set the repeating alarm function in pocket+ to use full or increasing volume, and voila!
For the record, some of us using the final T-Mo ROM are not experiencing the spontaneous activations bug.

Download the Offical T-Mobil upgrade. No sound issues or any problems I can find.
MrDollyMaker
Thanks. I have the ROM however they fill it with so much bloatware I can't squish all of my proggies in there. I was hoping for a hack or something. I did increase the Initvol from 2 to 4 which stops the low volume at first however it does get quite loud. Maybe I'll install and see anyway. Nothing to lose but time I guess. Thanks again.
Random On and crescendo
HI,
has anyone found a solution to either of the above mentioned problems? The Volume issue is a problem when using navigation. I tried intalling T-Mob but get random on problem.
Hi all.
I have the X9500 Shift and noticed a few days ago that its audio capabilities stopped working. I don't listen to music or watch videos very often, so I'm not sure when the problem began, but I do know that it used to work (my unit is about 3.5 weeks old). At the moment, both the speakers and headphone jack do not produce sound regardless of volume settings.
The audio drivers are up-to-date, I've done several system restores, and I just reset the Shift back to its factory settings using the recovery partition. I thought that would've done the trick, but it didn't. The sound is just gone.
Could something have happened internally to "break" the audio functions? I'm not a tinkerer/hacker/modder, so cracking open the Shift isn't an option for me. The problem isn't major since I don't use the Shift for multimedia purposes, but I'd still like everything to work. Any suggestions?
Thanks
The snapvue side controls the audio - have you hard reset it?
hmm sounds like hardware problems.maybe related to the headphone jack inside the unit. i've seen these things happened with laptops, most of them because of poor electric/mechanic contacts or simply a manufacturer flaw. you should send the unit back to warranty repairs, this will most probably mean dissasembling the shift.
anyway both headphone and internal speakers are linked via the same controller and audio amplifier. could be those chips that give you the problem, or it could be that jack i was talking about. let the service guys sort them up and.. good luck.. and.. be patient.. IT WILL TAKE TIME.........

Thanks for the tip. It didn't fix my audio issue, but it did make me discover that snapvue was gone! I pressed the snapvue button and was stunned to see nothing but a nice blank screen. If it wasn't for cmonex's solution, I would've come back crying about how to get snapvue back.
@ facdemol: I was afraid of that. My husband said something about the amp yesterday but I was hoping I'd hear different here. Thanks for your help.

Truth be told, I didn't really know what I was doing! It was my first time ever using cmd.exe, so I just ran through some of the ecshift.exe commands and checked to see if snapvue was back. I don't remember what I did to get it back (the reset command alone didn't work), but I know I entered and exited bootloader (unnecessarily, I guess!) at some point.

Yep. I'm sure my Shift feels terrible for not letting me know that it decided to be a mime!
HTC said to RMA it but I don't think I'd be able to stand all the time apart. As much as it sucks not to have everything working like it should, I'm just going to live with it. Besides, the idea of my Shift becoming a mime is growing on me. I like gadgets with ambition.
EDIT: I don't know how it happened, but all of a sudden the sound is working. Must've been my acceptance of the Shift's mime dream!

sound problem
I have same problem with sound on the htc shift. When i startup vista with powercable then sound works. When i startup vista withouth powercable then playing sound does not work. Also the button to the shift controll center gives an error when trying to start up. Sound recording still work when playback is not functioning. When i go to device manager and disable the sound driver and enable the sound driver again then playback works again and also the shift control center works again.
Perhaps something to do with energy settings ?
I have installed vista sp1
Hope anyone has a solution.

hi i tooo face exactly the same problem ... though sometimes it replicates itself even when shift is on AC power ....
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the control center, updating realtek sound drivers to latest and what not... but this problem keeps on cropping every now and then forcing me to do restarts and restarts untill it corrects itself ... there is definitely some conflict in the applications.. the point is to look out where ... all others having the same problems may give ur views ...
i have the same problem with the headphones...the sound driver is updated but i havent been able to solve it. maybe its hardware problem...however, the unit speakers are working very well. hoping there's a software tweak to make the headphones worked. really dont subscribe to the idea of opening the unit...i view it as a last resort.
its an audio driver conflict
disable the audio driver
enable the audio driver again
then all suddenly works again
after rebooting vista withouth power cable then same problem again

sound problem
Well, I have another sound problem. I have all the sound in vista but no sound in snapvue. I have change another windows mobile, I have changed the radio still no sound. Anybody can help. Thanks
My speakers stopped working ages ago but as I still got sound through the headphones I figured it was just another design flaw in the Shift and live with it.
Then this morning I almost spilt my coffee as I was fiddling round in Speech Recognition and the thing started talking at me (out of the speakers!) WTF?!
Anyway, I had to log off and on to get something to work and no more sound from speakers again
I wasn't going to be defeated so I re-enacted everything I remember doing and after a while found out that if I put in a pair of headphones and then take them out again.. I have sound
Weird. Any ideas? or is just dodgy hardware?
Hi all.
I've searched everywhere and as yet I have found NO way to INCREASE the volume during an incoming-call. Even with the scroll wheel on the side full up maximum, the volume I feel should be at least 50% higher.
So, does anyone have a tested, successful way to increase in-call volume?
Thanks,
Matt.
Try Spb Mobile Shell
What I wrote did not work. Thought it did. So, just deleted to not confuse others. Sorry.
robjbw said:
I was having the same problem. The sound was too low even when setting was high. I installed Spb Mobile Shell 2 and under their sound profile setting, raise both volumes (speaker, earpiece) to 100% and then the phone will sound loud. Hope it helps. First try the demo before buying it and see if it works for you. maybe its just in my head, but the sound is much louder for me now.

Okay, I am a NEWBIE. I have the HTC P3600 with original WM5 ROM. And yes the IN Call Volume in my phone is freaking low too!! I did downloaded the volume.cab from link above and installed it in my Trinity. It shows in Add and remove Programs so I know it installed. BUT It does not seems to make my in call volume louder. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong??? Am I supposed to have a different ROM before installing this volume.cab? Thanks.

It used to work on my wizard and on a prophet. Don't see any reason why it shouldn't work with the Trinity.

in the past week i've found trhe sound in the music player will randomly stop working. the track keeps playing via the movement bar but there's no sound. i've checked the volume and this isnt a problem and there's no sound in coreplayer either when this happens.
the headphones are fine because unplugging them doenst bring the sound on either (via the speaker). the only way to get it working is to reset. it's strnage ebcause sometimes it goes for ages without a prob, soemtimes it happens after 5 minutes...
anyone got any ideas? I'm fairly certain it's a software issue as unplugging the headphone jack makes a noise
ok still dpont know the solution but i just left my phone alone for 30mins after it last stopped making sound and now it's making sound again (without resetting). is it a memory problem??
backup, hardreset, restore. it's the only way to be sure.
Hope you didn't do a hard reset yet as the post above me urged. Like you said once the TF3D mp3 player stops playing (the sound) coreplayer doesn't work either. Now, i'm guessing WM player doesn't work either, but oddly the radio does? One more question, are you running Gyrrator in the background? Let me know and i'll try and help you out promptly.

I'm having the same problem with the sound.
Yes, the radio works, but nothing else, after unplugging the headphones it takes a while for the headphone icon to disappear and when plugged in it takes it longer than usual to appear. Doesnt fix the sound though. I have Gyrator 2 on auto start but i usually close it. At the time of the sound's disappearing it was off.
Mine only does it after i've answered a call through the headset, after the call is finished, the song continues playing and after a while or when the next song comes up, the sound disappears and can only be fixed through a soft reset.
Also mine refuses to display the embedded album art for every song, just chooses one and goes with that cover. And there used to be more covers behing the one running, but now it's just the one.
Hope someone can help me with any of this.
Thanks.

yep spot on, gyrattor 2 is running in the bakground and i havent hard reset. havent actually tried using WMplayer or the radio as i dont use those functions but I'd also assume they prob wont work either
Ok, not guareenting anything, but this might/should fix it. I'm guessing you did this through Gyrrator (though u could have prolly done it via windows too somehow, but my money on Gyrrator). What's prolly happening is that in Gyrrator you have it set to "Suspend Device" for one of the events (to turn off the screen). Instead change this to "Turn Screen Off." Suspending the device causes u to loose sound in most apps (radio still works fine). When you hit the power button, this only turns the screen off and does not actually suspend the device while you're playing music. Let me know if it worked.
good luck
looked thropugh my events which are all the default ones and nothing was set to suspend
could it be something is S2U2? theres an option there which is worded "Dont suspend power" and mine is set to off. Do i need tio change it? (damn double negatives)
My Gyrator had a suspend device event, removed it and we'll see how it goes.

Had the same problem today. Only happens after i receive a call via the headset.
Sound is completely stopped working!
The sound on my THD has completely stopped working. I've only had it for a few days, and suddenly when I was working on it, I realized there was no sound coming out of the speakers. It doesnt work in WMP, Coreplayer, the radio or the built in touchflo3dplayer. It does, however, work when I plug in the headset, but still no sound in the speakers though. I've tried soft reset, hard reset, and it doesn't even make a sound in the beginning when HTC logo comes on.
Any ideas about what's wrong, or do I just send it back for support?
i also got a problem with sounds, sometimes when i use youtubeclient, my sound stops working, and just the occasional tac in sound, then i have to reset my HD te get sound again, ive done 3 hard resets, and it even happenend when i booted youtube right after hard reset was done... does somebody know the problem?

Hi, I have the exact same problem. It was perfectly fine till I received an SMS and everything after that, sound from the loud speaker does not work
Same issue here. The problem is caused by S2U2. The audio driver crashes everytime S2U2 locked the phone while there is a high usage of audio (e.g. by the TF3D MP3player). With S2U2 disabled everything stays normal.
I guess it has something to do with the new 1.40 version of S2U2. I just posted a request into the S2U2 thread.
I got the problem, too.
Thanks you found the reason for this sound-problem.
I hope S2U2 will fix this in next version.

I hope so too because there is no workaround. you cannot define the player as an exception because it is part of manila :-(
I also can confirm the problem with S2U2!
It also happen when you use the udio player. Once S2U2 locks the device the audio freezes.
Hi,
I have this same problem too, but haven't got S2U2 installed. I have found out what causes the problem. It only happens when I use the headset that came with the phone. When the button on the microphone to pick up a call is pressed for a longer time, the sound stops, while the mp3 (or other file) keeps on playing.
So that's the way to get the problem to appear... now a solution to make it go away. And not the answer, don't use that headset...
Up till now the only way I have found to make the sound come back is to do a soft-reset.

Could you please explain exactly what this mod does?
I have notice that when you turn down the volume while speaking,
it first removes the high frequencies of the incoming sound, which is a bit
retarded in my view since those are the easiest to hear when in nosier situations.
I would think that when you turn down the volume, it turns down not reduces the high frequencies then turns down.
sorry went off tangent there, does this .cab fix that? or am i totally off?
