Phone volume is way too low.

[Bacchus416]

Is it me , or is the in-call volume really low on a Vogue? I've got it maxed on my phone, yet I have a really hard time hearing a caller while on a call - even with earphones in.

Audio Booster doesn't work for me....any other ideas?

You know, its funny how this is the only CONSISTENTLY horrible thing about HTC phones. The ear piece volume was bad from the 6600 on up. Whoever the audio engineer is over at HTC, they must have bat ears.

If you're on sprint, you can change the codec used between the phone and tower for a slight boost. I don't have a link handy, but I've posted it before here on ppcgeeks.

i'm with bell, not sprint.

it's too bad theres no other software to do a software boost.

i find if i'm anywhere where others are talking, i just can't do it.

If you go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/SoundCategories/Ring/AttenuationCategory
Change the Value data it will increase your ring volume.
I would not recommend going any higher than 7 though after that the sound gets a
little distorted.
you also need an application to change your registry.....I use PHM RegEdit

I'm not sure about your audio while talking though....I was gonna say Audio Booster but it seems your already using it.
if you find a solution to volume while talking please post it.


p.s. if you found that I've helped in any way feel free to hit the thank you button.

p.s.s. thanks in advance

Turn In-Call Volume Up

Regisrty: HKCU\Control Panel\SoundCategories\InCall
Key: InitVol
Default: 2 (i put it up to 5)

yep ...so far so good.

you can put it up to 10 event. 5 seems to be comfortable for now though. I may set up a config for "subway/Public transit mode" and "office mode"

:P
