Hey guys,
walking home yesterday was listening to music with audio booster and all was great, bass was fine.
Later on in the day, tried and didn't want to work at all. It played fine but no bass, really terrible sound.
Using the HTC headphones that came with the phone. Is there any way to reset the settings back to normal as I MAY of changed something without realising.
Cheers
No-one got any clues on this? I've searched High and low and isntalled the paravolume thing but nothing's helping this..
Really tinny sound now, with and without the standard headphones (i've also tried high quality in-ear ones that should be good but just arent).
Cheers
Hard reset?
Hard reset the phone, and it's fixed!
Any idea what settings MAY of changed this? Audio booster was enabled, and disabled etc and no change what-so-ever (aprt from a bit less tinny sound nothing major)
Cheers!
probably just a bug ^^
I've got the same problem now. Probably some app is causing this, because after I changed ROM (so it's like HR) the problem is still there. Sound is fine on speaker and through BT stereo headphones. Anybody else had or has such problem?
I also have this problem (O2 Diamond 1.37.401). Few day ago everything was ok, but now, sound is full of distorsion and no bass in present at all, Bass booster made no help. Maybe Advanced Configuration Tool made some mess, becouse it has setting for default volume, and bass, treble level? Are you using this tool also?
I find the solution. Audio booster have a bug.
Plug your earphones, run Booster, disable it and close.
Now unplug and plug phones again back, run booster and enable it.
That worked for me.

Is the Audio booster issue fixed with the builds after build 35 ?
The issue is that my music plays without bass when using headphones or connected to my car audio system.
When turning off Audio booster, start playing music and then turn on Audio booster again, my bass returns.
This is really annoying to repeat these steps each time because I use the mp3 player functionality a lot.
sound issue
I think it's a general problem with the sound, once you go into screen saver, then stop the music, then go back to it, the sound levels have no base on it's quite annoying. The way to get around it, take the headphones out, turn on the device, reselect the music, put in the headphones and play.
I wonder what is causing the music to be so distorted. I'm on the latest wwe build
How did HTC manage to release such a buggy phone?
In the past all of my HTC devices have been great but this Diamond has me appalled.
It crashes, gets very slow suddenly for no reason, gets uncomfortable warm to hold, attracts fingerprints like crazy, has an unusable media player and now we have to do some stupid sequence of headphone unplugging and tickbox unticking every time we want to play some music!
This is the official relase, not some grey import with an unfinshed ROM...
Plleeeaaase someone work out how to get the old style Audio Manager working on the Diamond... Won't fix the bass problem, but at least I'll be able to access my music how I want to...
Same problem for on my phone, with rom 1.37
I though it was a headset issue, until I read this thread.
Veeery annoying bug
I've got it too noticed today. When the base went I thought the headset socket was at fault as if I moved the plug just slightly the audio would cut out completely.
However, I turned Audio Booster off, restarted and turned Audio Booster back on and all is well - even wiggling the cable so it's not a hardware fault there.
However as soon as I plugged into my PC by Disk Drive mode and went to listen to music after - it was back again.
Certain little things are really starting to rub the shine away but I do love the phone overall.
i'm sorry i have wrote this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402845
but i think now is the same problem..
how can i delete new thread??
thanks

I have this issue now for the first time and tried your fix. But still i have a lot of treble and the bass is gone.. Can you make a better step by step description?
Already found out:
How to create the bug:
- Play your music on your headphone
- Turn on Audio Booster
- Plug off your headphone and continue on your speaker
- Plug in your headphone again and your bass is gone.
How to fix?
- Stop your music
- Turn of audiobooster, and save the settings, not close! (so your headphone have to be connected)
- Start your music again and your bass is back!
- You cán use Audio Booster again now, but i won't!

Just download SRS Wow 1.21, it is miles better than Audio Booster, you dont get any of those problems and it will make the music sound better than it will on any other portable device... yes, it really is that good!

not working with my diamond
Me neither, I installed it but can't find how to launch the program, even with a soft reset and the registry modification
Edit: The program is in (settings) -> (system), but doesn't work: "There's no WOW HD driver loaded" and exits
Is there still no resolution for the Problem? This Bug makes the device almost unusable for me

Not working on my Diamond either, but I didn't try to edit the registry. Because I'm not able to edit it.... Tried PHMRegEdit.msi but I'm only able to read the registry on the phone, not able to edit. Any suggestions?
You could try CorePlayer. Full equalizer AND preamp....
Music sounds awesome. Really does.
But it doesnt fix the problem at hand. For example, when using the RCE100 headset, the FF/RW/PLAY etc only controls the built in HTC player, and not CorePlayer (or SRS WOW, etc)
It really really sux that HTC have not fixed this yet. I giess we are just waiting for the worldwide release of the diamond to complete (so that the whole world will get pissed off) and then HTC can concentrate on fixing the bloody device!!! I still love it though....
omg...
i thought the headset was crappy.. but i rmbed the first day.. when the sound quality was good and the next day it suddenly lost the bass..
so i tot i gave yer method a try..
switched off the audioboosetr after pausing the music
and walla..
its bassy and clear..
to think i paid a sum for his buggy phone... i love the diamond.. but probably the last phone from htc i ever gonna get...
Why does actually DISABLING the audiobooster help here? How screwed up can this probably rather simple piece of software be?
Geez I wish I had a stock HTC Diamond instead of my O2 so I could bug their customer support sufficiently with this issue.
Is there a way to get rid of the audio enhancing feature completely? After all it seems that earphone-audio is way better without it anyway?
Of course there is. By default the Audio Booster is switched off. It's a 3rd party app and not something that is actually built in to the HTC Player. Get a decent set of headphones and music will sound really good without it. The actual music playing abilities of the hardware (software aside) are really good and for someone who is a music junkie, I'm happy.
I am happy too. Juste have a look at the price of my headphone (westone UM2) and you'll understand that when I say HTC + AudioBooster + good headphone = best MP3 player sound quality i have never had (compared to sucky Apple's sound which is as the external speaker if i compared)!

only hard reset will do ?
Hi there
I'm having something of a weird problem. I was playing around with my MDA Compact IV (might i add: this housing looks much slicker then the standard), and i pulled out the headset while listening to music in the standard TouchFLO mediaplayer. When i put the headset back in the audio-quality became really crappy, as if i was calling to someone who's holding up a radio on his side of the line. This also now affects Windows Media Player, but not the FM Radio. Has anybody else had this issue?
Today I used my MDA Compact IV for the first time as a mp3 player, with the standard (crappy) headphones.
I've noticed that the sound is SH!T.
No bass at all, tried the 'audio-booster' option, but the sound doesn't get better.
Than I tried the FM-modus, and noticed that the radio sound was better.
Not verry good, but BETTER....
HOW comes? Are the standard headphones crap? Is the 'soundprocessor' crap, or what?
At this moment it's not usable as a good mp3 player...
And what about the volume? At max, it's still not really loud.
EDIT: Strange.... unplugged/plugged the headphones again, tried it in windows mediaplayer (first I tried it in the touchflow audio player) and now it sounds better, also more/deeper bass, in both player.
But still: The sound is absolutely nothing compared to a good Ipod. Is this due to the crappy headphone (thought that the mda compact IV headphone isn't the same as the touch diamond one...)
Well thing is, using the Audio Booster i had the audio to pretty decent quality, nice and warm with enough bass. So then i yanked out the headset and now it's ****ty... What gives?
crappy sound quality resolved
hi guys,
i got this problem a couple of times, and it was really annoying as i knew it wasnt right cos listening to music was the first thing i did with my diamond and i was amazed by the sound quality, but i had exactly the same issue a few days later, tried to listen to music and audio quality was so poor it hurt my ears! so i did a hard reset and the sound quality was perfect again. then a few days later it happened again. i have narrowed it down to installing 'advanced config'. both times the issue came about was after i had installed advanced config. i havnt installed since and my sound has been perfect for ages. i have installed games and other apps and still fine, so for me, im damn sure its advanced config that did it, hope this helps, just do a hard reset and it will be fine again, just keep an eye on what happens after you install something!
Okay, found the answer:
There is a BUG in the AUDIO-BOOSTER.
Try:
Plug in your headphone, choose MUSIC in TFL3D, go to menu-audio-booster, turn it on, listen to the music, unplug the headphone while music is playing. Plug it in again and you here that all the bass is gone and quality is crap.
Stop music, disable the Audio-Booster option, play your music again and the sound quality is good again!
So DON'T use the AUDIO-BOOSTER, cause everytime you unplug your headphones, the music becomes crap again!
Wow thanks, that really helped d'you suppose HTC will bring out a fix for this?
Another solution
Hi everyone,
You're right, there is a bug with the bass sound on the Diamond.
After some experiences, i found this way to solve the problem:
1- Plug de headphones (original)
2- Open de Radio Fm application and after hearing some sound, close it.
3- Goto the music tab and play the MP3 (with equalizer on).
4- Change de volume.
After this steps normally there is bass again.
By the way, does anyone know if the use of other headphones (not the original) improves the quality of Diamond's sound (Hi frequencies) ?
I want to buy an usb adapter for "normal" jack headphones but I don't have idea whether it is worth.
Regards
i found that bluetooth headsets are not affected by this problem, whenever i had this problem, if i used a A2DP headset, it was not affected by the loss of bass or any quality at all, just the USB headset was affected
Hello, I have a problem since a few days on my french Diamond.
When I listen to music, watch movies, and things that have sounds, through the headphone, I don't have the basses. It's extremly horrible to listen to.
I can only hear the high-pitched sounds. But when I listen to the radio, the sound is normal.
It was normal before, when I bought the phone, and when I hard reseted the phone, but after some time, the sound became horrible to listen to.
Does anyone have this problem???
Any one has a solution???
If I upgrade my ROM to a new official ROM, will it fix???
Thx
i would look around the media settings for an equalizer

Yes, that is a known problem. Don't worry, update to the new ROM like me.
RUU_Diamond_HTC_FRA_1.93.406.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship
I was having the same problem.
I found that if i went into the audio booster and checked the tick box and then changed the volume using the side buttons it came good again for some reason.
not sure if the check box had to be checked or unchecked but it did come good again after a couple of goes.
I've just upgraded my rom so hopefully this won't be a problem anymore for me.
Hello, greetingz to all. I recently purchased used Xperia, and it worked well untill few days ago, when i start to have problems with microphone (in phone). The sound reception is very poor and people i talk to can barely hear me or not hearing me at all. I tried all and nothing works, except when i connect headset in vibration-only mode. Then the reception of the sound from the headset microphone perfect. But not when the sounds on the phone are on, or in any other case. I also tried does it record sound on video or audio for MMS - same thing, just crackling noise.
I would appreciate if anybody could help with this. Thanks in advance.
P.S. I did hard reset, i did reinstall software from SE Update (even i had most recent one), nothing happened.
Same problem here!
But i can use the headset when the sound is on.
Im afraid i lose my phone for a while, again. I had software problems before.
I think i will burn a good rom when it's back.
in settings->system->Microphone AGC
turned on ?
AGC == automatic gain control which mean the mic adjust it's sensitivity according to the volume of the surroundings
Rudegar,
i wish i read your tip before i brought it to the shop
but i think it would be standard because i also tried a hard reset?
there is also a crack in my xperia, so i sent it anyway
greets, robbin
Yesterday I was playing some music through the speakers on my phone and the sound started to crackle, I just thought it was the app playing up so I just turned it off and thought nothing of it.
Later when I went to use the phone it didn't have any sound, so I tried adjusting the volumes up and down, re-flashing CM and clearing caches in vein. I then plugged my headphones in to see if they worked and found I could only hear them a little bit with the volumes set to max.
I'm now assuming the speaker amp has blown somehow, but not wanting to give up I tried calling someone and found the sound worked just fine for voice and so now I have no idea what the issue is.
Has anyone else had this problem? and how did you fix it?
