[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tripp:
I have done some tests and only thing I know for now is, that only 2 parameters in AudioPara3 file will affect phone volume. Those parameters are:

F25,CE_PLAYBACK_HEADSET,5,4000,2FFC - 2FFC from here and

F26,CE_PLAYBACK_HANDSFREE,5,4000,5900 - 5900 from here

This is original, not tweaked file

File can opened from Excel, so everyone can set your own parameters, that makes him happy.

I think there are more possibilities to modify this file and get more better results. But.. I don't have more skills to do those modifications. Maybe there are some people, who know how digital sound is processed and know, what those parameters in that file mean.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Vulpix:
No new updates from the sound engineers?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Vector-SS:
I read that the speakerphone (loud speaker) also improves.

Anyone who was really annoyed by the low volume can confirm this can help it? Playing music, in-call,, videos, etc.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] friedegg03:
So to make those a bit quieter, what hexadecimal codes could we change it to?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Sil3ncer:
You can try 282C and 5130. Tell us your results.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] iRiKi:
this must be easy. if original value is 2FFC (12284 in decimal) and tweaked value is FFFF (65535), then all we have to do i find a compromise between both.

FFFF value is probably the maximum value this parameter accepts (4 bytes), that's why everybody is complaining about the sound being very high.

i'm unable to test this atm because i'm still finding a way to create my "ROM image" with SPB Backup, so if any1 can test this feel free to go.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] flashmp3:
Light Boost

I have taken some time to analyse the different components and advices and decided to try by myself. Thanks to an Hexadecimal to decimal converter from this website :http://www.easycalculation.com/decimal-converter.php I think i have managed to create the light boost that still have high boost during call to be able to hear well :)

I have tested and find it well between original and modified one given by tripp (thanks again tripp :) )

Test it and tell me what you think about it
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Mr.Sir:
No qualityloss?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] flashmp3:
At max volume surely you'll lost quality because the speaker can't afford it. Plus, I don't use SRS WOW cause i find it useless knowing we can change 3D effect thanks to DIamond Tweak app and have hardware equalizer. With that i have a louder sound that orginal and lighter that tripp's.

Test it if you don't like it go for original one :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tripp:
OK guys, try this. This is more "lighter" boost
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dudubai:
My personal settings:

7FFF instead of FFFF (half the value, check with scientific calculator of windows) in the file posted by the grat tripp.

Let's find out a way to enhance the recording volume of the second person (on the other side) recording a conversation. Maybe this file could contain info about..

..sorry for my english..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Mandragore:
Thanks, I'll give them a try!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mc0676:
Perfect !!! !!! THANKS !!!

I've changed the value in the registry too, is it a problem ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] brianb1998:
thank you soo freaking much

i installed the one at the begining of this thread on my sprint touch diamond and lost almost all sound.......your file brought it back you rule
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Sergio PC:
Thanks ver much guys you guys rule!!!!:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] seko38:
Can someone explain me how to install this? it opens in exel ? :s
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mirror0:
Simply copy and overwrite the original AudioPara3 in Windows root.

The AudioPara3_lighter_boost.zip version is perfect!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] fabdtm:
Must be stupid, i copied para3 in windows and now i got a para and para3, but no change in sound volume,any help?

thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] seko38:
i can't paste it :s

i get an error that i don't have the authorisation
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mc0676:
Please install Total Commander e copy the file with him.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] seko38:
do i have to do a soft reset?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] SuperToy_nc:
Yes, you do.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] thebiscuitboy:
Excellent work, have just loaded this onto my TP and it works a dream... thank you so much :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Vulpix:
Thank you! Works great for me too!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] datzent83:
WoW! What a dramatic difference. The phone is much, much louder. Thanks for the fix!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] neoculture:
i do agree, at last i am enjoying my phone, as the volume was a let down on this phone, but now it sound like a proper phone,

if you can get it more louder that would be great.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] flashmp3:
Try the first sound boost of tripp it is so loud that you can't push volume to max otherwise you break the phone speaker :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Shouma:
Backup link has no AudioPara file..

I made a backup but couldnt load it on pc from total commander or to file explorer by any means and also accidentaly lost it :S And downloaded this link but found no AudioPara3 file inside...So can you please upload a backup file of the original 1.93 AudioPara3 file..Thanks a lot.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tommm:
This is great mod what I was waitin for:cool:

Does anybody know how to adjust volume separately for speaker, earphone, headset etc..??:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tripp:
See the first post of this thread ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Shouma:
Mate...I am speechless..Thanks a lot :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] executor485:
Ok, so I tried to fix the volume problem with the full boost file... AudioPara3.csv Now the problem is, I have the Sprint diamond and now its messed up my sound badly so that it is BARELY audible. :S Not cool...

Can anyone plz upload their SPRINT version of the AudioPara3.csv for me please I would be greatly appreciative. Its located in your windows directory folder, if you cant see it, use TotalCommander to browse for it and copy it/send it in an email. You can send it to me at audiopara @ l2devastation.com if you cant upload it to the forum or whatnot

Thanks in advance

EDIT:

Found the file... But as a word of caution, make sure you get the Sprint/CDMA version of the file in the future rather than the GSM version, they are not compatable with one another. Just FYI
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] buffystar:
What he says ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ only these files in there

the para3 file is the new file from you

no effect on volume

So do I have to rename to Audiopara.csv or Audiopara4-Voda_V3.csv
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] xiongmx:
i did not hear any Change
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] andwor:
I don't hear any change on my O2 Xda Diamond either.

I copied the AudioPara3.csv file into windows root using TC and made a soft reset. Nothing changed :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mbord:
Now if we can figure out how to make the ringers louder!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tripp:
Create or edit this value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev: AcousticFile

Value Data must be \windows\AudioPara3.csv

Try this and let us know, if it works

BR
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] andwor:
Thanks a lot. My AcousticFile key was "AudioPara4-O2_V3.csv". Il'l change and test it tomorrow.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] andwor:
1. FlashMP3's AudioPara file

I'm pretty sure the phone got even quieter, though this insight feels strange

2. LighterBoost AudioPara file

No noticeable effect at all.

Anyway. I've attached the Xda's AudioPara file. Anyone an idea about the offsets I need to change?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Sil3ncer:
Do u need to do this for the TouchPro?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] vanaedium:
Hi Is it possible that in my original htc rom 1.93 I have only the file audiopara.csv? Because I copied the audiopara3 into windows, nothing is really cheanged, but into the register the value is audiopara3 or do I rename everything to audiopara.csv? Also in the register?

Thanx in advice
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] vanaedium:
Hi again

i put audiopara.csv and audiopara3.csv in \windows and set the register value to audiopara but nothing changes, help please :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ombadboy:
also got an XDA o2 ignito/diamond.. need some insight on this plz.. i checked the reigstry entry and its poiinted to audiopara3.csv, but i didnt notice any difference in changing the .csv files manually/ nor using the .cab files..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] liamhere:

Fellows:

I really need to know if this hack will work on the touch pro

Also, the most important feature I use is speakerphone for calls. Will the loud boost (the first one) really increase the speakerphone volume. I have a Blackberry and their loud speakerphones for phone calls (not music) keeps me wedded to them. Will the Tripp boost discussed here give me a really loud speakerphone for phone calls?

Any help on these two questions will be greatly appreciated as I really wanbt to purchase the touch pro, but have found the volume on HTC phones horrendous in the past
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] MPerki:
Great piece of work Tripp. I have tried the light file and the difference is noticable and welcomed.

I have tested with speakerphone. In call volume via speaker also improved.

I will test with Bluetooth tomorrow and report back.

Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nofuse:
My diamond doesn't have the value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev: AcousticFile in the registry.

I have HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev with various values but nothing containing audiopara.csv or accosticFile

Please help as no changes are made to my volume

Easy install

Hi all,

I don't know if it has already been done, but you will find packaged cab files in attachment to simplify the installation of these mods.

Each cab includes :

the copy of the matching level acoustic file AudioPara3.csv (avalaible in the first post, thanks Tripp!) in the Windows folder

the registry modification : HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\AcousticFile set to the string "windows\AudioPara3.csv"

After installation, you'll have to restart (soft reset) your device.

You could change your sound configuration as you want by installing the cab corresponding to the required level.

If you want to download the All-in-one complete pack (including the 3 cabs in attachment), it's avalaible here : AudioBoostPack.zip

:cool:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] TORB:
Well done Tripp, bloody brilliant. I also had to change the registry to point to the right file (as you outlined in an early post) and now my Diamond works a treat. That low volume problem was been the bane of my life for the last few years as I had the same problem on my IPAQ.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] flashmp3:
It does work on TP
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] micwk:
does this solution fix the in-ear speaker volume or the ringing volume? im still in the dark here
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] daraj:
I dont think its for the in-ear speaker. Its more for listening to mp3 music on the loud speaker.

It would be great if the in-ear speaker is included.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] owziee:
Absoultely great stuff!!! Only thing that worries me is if the speaker was built to handle these volumes!?

I installed the lighter boost but still my speaker sounds very distorted on high volume... Maybe these hacks will blow our diamonds speakers?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Mr.Sir:
You will blow your speaker without these hacks at max volume, if you play too long.

Edit, maybe not blow it, but it will start to sound really bad...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] SergeyBE:
No sound durring the call .... any idea ?

Hi boys,

2-3 month ago I got installed "IncreaseVol.cab", it's was better sound during the call, but twoo weeks ago it's beginning rattling and noising. Now I can hear just durring the call just if I push the button "Speaker", if I play mp3, it's sounds like it have to be. What can be wrong with it ? Is it two speakers for ? Somebody idea about this ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Reason4444:
Unfortunately one member report his diamond speaker blow after a week of use in our local diamond forum... :( ...and he's installed lighter one too... :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Choper:
Thanks zillian times :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ptran504:
I used the cab file from the post that ricky posted above. The volume seems to have increased for my regular calls but the speakerphone stopped working and the music player is really low and super distorted (sounds like a blown speaker). Please let me know how I can fix it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ceicco:
Please, where (how) do I find the windows directory I should replace the file in?

I was browsing the whole memory but did not found this file :(

Please.

Thanks a lot

You need a diffrent file viewer, try Total Commander that will do it :)

Would this volume cab work on the X1???

Only concern is the loud speaker volume... too low...

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] loco38:
thanks for this great effort

i was thinking to sell my phone due of low sound

now it`s so loud that i need to lower the volume

good work.............two thumps up
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] theendfear:
yeah! work fine on my diamond! thanks for this big solution for audio problems of this device
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] theendfear:
to avoid to use total commander, is possible to create a cab with this file with quick cab ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DJKai:
Thanks, worked a treat. :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] noisuf0:
I just got my HTC Touch Pro from Sprint. I downloaded a few of these AudioPara.csv files, and I moved it from "My Documents" over to the Windows directory using resco. A lot of you say you should replace the current AudioPara file-- I moved it, but It didn't replace anything (there apparently never was an audiopara file in my windows directory).

what gives?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] theendfear:
for paste file audiopara in \windows directory you must use total commander, if you have a problem to use this file explorer use this cab file:

http://rapidshare.com/files/162301662/patch_audio-diamond.cab

I have created this cab with this file audiopara posted by tripp ;)

The light *.cab install worked like a dream on my FUZE! Thank you SO MUCH!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] semlohde:
I just loaded the cab from page 11 and MonteCristoffon, the middle milder lighter-boost one. Good thing it's milder! My rear speaker kicks at half way now, but I thought this was for the ear piece. You know - that front worthless speaker. I DO THANK YOU for the cab as the zip isn't going to happen. But I sure thought this was for the front ear speaker. Anyone know of something for that? I suspect it's the actual speaker.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] zwaps:
PLEASE:

Can someone make a cab that does the following:

- Reset the back speaker (music, ringtone) to normal volumes or boost it lightly

- Boost the front speaker (that goes to your ear during a call) much more.

I am using the old 1.37 or so O2 rom, if that helps.

I would be very, very grateful.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] semlohde:
I'm with zwaps on that. A little boost on the rear and better boost on the front. I have the HTC Fuze. MANY THANKS to you brilliant people who can do this stuff but this front speaker is poor. THANKS- ed

are these file suitable for HD too?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Nautme:
Okay, so I was reading this thread and was about to install the AudioPara3_lighter_boost.zip when I got to the point where someone mentioned that this does not affect the ear piece volume. Can someone confirm whether this affects the in call ear piece volume?

Also, there's a page where tripp mentions the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev: AcousticFile and that it must be set at AudioPara3.csv. I looked at mine and noticed it's AudioPara4_att_20080703.csv. Also, looking in the Windows directory, I see AudioPara.csv, AudioPara3.csv, and the AudioPara4_att_20080703.csv. The AudioPara.csv is only 11k, but the other two are about the same size. Has anyone compared these two files (I can't connect at the moment)?

Maybe tripp could update the first thread with what this changes (for sure) and a note about the registry (since if people just replace the file, it won't work if it's pointed somewhere else). Or I guess they could just read this post.

Also, has any tried the NueAudio application to toy with these settings? I tried, but I couldn't get it to install for some reason.

I've got the Att FUZE with the stock ROM.

I read this post wih interest as I used this method:

to increase the volume of the GPS and ever since the in ear speaker appears to be slightly blown with a buzzing sound. Could the GPS be using the front speaker instead of the rear speaker?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] duncho:
Hi Tripp,

can you please tell me which of the audiopara parameter is responsible for audio level of internal audio recording? I use VITO Audio Notes v1.32 for calls recording and I have a problem with low recording level of others' voice (mine is recorded well). When I switch to Speaker phone, then both levels are recorded accuratelly. Mine as well as caller's voice are at the same level.

If you would be so kind and send me your brief description of each audiopara parameters, I would be very thankful to you.

Otherwise, can you please modify original file from my HTC Touch Diamond P3700, which I have attached to this thread?

Thank you indeed!

Daniel
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] p213crew:
Changed only Earpiece volume (sounds good)

Thanks for the files. I installed it but for some reason it was too distorted even with the light booster. I did however like the sound of the earpiece. So what i did was edit the file to just increase the volume level of the earpiece.

These are the only 6 lines I changed (Changes are only made under the rxVolume column)

F12	PHONE_EARCUPLE_VOL0	0	4000	2013	0	656E	2013

F13	PHONE_EARCUPLE_VOL1	1	4000	2013	0	656E	5000

F14	PHONE_EARCUPLE_VOL2	2	4000	4000	0	656E	6000

F15	PHONE_EARCUPLE_VOL3	3	4000	4000	0	656E	7000

F16	PHONE_EARCUPLE_VOL4	4	4000	4000	0	656E	9000

F17	PHONE_EARCUPLE_VOL5	5	4000	4000	0	656E	B000

I left VOL0 at 2013 then changed the rest. VOL1 and VOL2 were at 2D4E changed them to 5000 and 6000. VOL3 was set to 4000 changed to 7000, VOL4 was set to 5A67 changed to 9000, and VOL5 was set to 7Fb2 changed to B000. I sort of used the same settings from the light_booster file by leaving the max volume at B000. This sounds great.

Works good. Copy the original AudioPara3 file from your phone to your PC and open with Excel and edit those 5 things then copy it back to your phone using Total Commander to your storage card or a folder in your phones storage.

For those of you having problems copying the file using Total comander, open TC and go to where you have the new AudioPara3.csv file. Once there touch and hold the AudioPara3.csv file until you get the little window that gives you the option to Copy/Move. Select copy/move. It will ask you were you want to copy/move it to. Select Tree button. Now select the WINDOWS folder and then it will ask you if you want to overwrite the file. Click Yes and soft reset. I was having problems figuring out how to copy the file myself with total commander.

Hopefully this is good enough for those of you asking for just the earpeice volume fix.

And of course thanks to the gurus that made this fix available and gave us the ideas. Much appreciated.

And to think I was getting ready to take the phone back because of the low volume. I was even thinking of getting an..... iPhone. Sorry, I didn't mean to say that.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] the_scotsman:
This really helps increase the volume of the Diamond, but I hate the distortion of the sounds, even with the lower one. The speaker isn't able to cope with the increased volume...pity :(
