Standard Headset Issue

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

Volume Stuck

Hi Guys
Something weird and very irritating is going on with my diamond.
When I have the earphones plugged in the volume can't be changed, no matter what i do.
It's stuck on what seems like 3000 decibels. It makes my ears want to bleed.
Changing the system volume doesn't help at all, neither does chaning the volume of windows media player.
This happens anytime i play music, no matter what program I use.
The funny thing is - the sound of videos and the radio can be adjusted - no problem.
I really want 2 listen 2 music on the go...
Some1 please help!

Helloo? Anyone?
Pleeze help!

Can't help much as I dont use the headset and never have
Anything in the audio booster app that is playing up? Having never used the headphones, I dont know what the audio booster does but when I click on it, it wants the headphones/headset to be plugged in - I would assume by that the program does "boost" volume and so might help you solve the issue

I did have a look at the "audio booster".
It's basically just an equalizer.
Funny thing is, I am unable to select enable/disable on mine.
I am going on a trip next week and I would really like to use my diamond to listen to music while driving....
Pleeze people. Any ideas.

Any help would be aprreciated...
Thanx

Stereo bluetooth headset

Which stereo bluetooth headset works with the HD2?
The SonyEricsson HBH-IS800 is really nice, but you cannot control the volume of this headset.

Nokia BH 500

I noticed that! You can't control the volume of any bluetooth A2DP devices. SO STUPID!! There must be a fix for this?

Sony DR-BT21G works as well with my Leo as it does with my Walkman. Volume control and track controls both work. Not too sure that it works with phone calls though, as I haven't yet tried it.

Just bought a Jabra BT3030 which was poor - volume was very low and sound quality was not great. The alternative was the Sony DR-BT21G - whats the volume and music quality like?

im using motorola s9 with wow driver on my leo .all buttons are working and sound is quite good.

Using the Sennheisser MM100 and they work very well.
Cheers

I've this headset and I can't control the volume even by the phone...

I just ordered some Jaybird JB-200s so I`m hoping this will work with the phone... this phone already cost me a few extra euros just on accesories already and I don`t want a pair of useless earphones... I love JB though...

Hi,
I have this headset also and i'm satisfied with the quality of the sound. The volume is just right for me out of the box. So i didn't notice until now you can't change the volume from the phone.
I added two keys to blue-tooth registry, but i don't think it added to the sound-quality. Maybe there is a key for that volume. Still looking for a tool to do that. What it does do is randomly give me no audio during playback for 3 or 4 seconds :-( (Witch is really annoying). I get compliments from people when i''m on the phone about the audio quality. Even when riding my bike in windy conditions. So thats a good thing. I think the cord could do with another 5 centimeter. I think they forget about the difference in neck size of western people when they developed the thing Japan ;-).
Battery life is better than my old one.
Before this i had the HBH-DS980 on the TYTNII, but the cord broke. This one can display the phonebook and change volume and skip to the next song etc., but i think the size of the HBH-IS800 and sound quality makes up for that.
I'd like to hear from other owners of this device if they experience the same audio interruption problem.
Rgrds, Helssblade.

iam using Sony HBHDS980
Everything works fine including,
1. Music player in manila music tab play,pause,next, prev & volume.
2. Contacts display 7 browsing
3. Call history browsing.
4. In call volume adjustment.
Only problem is,
Need to increase the incall volume after every reconnection.

Nokia BH 503 works great with the LEO. Even coreplayer works with the pause play and next buttons.

Hi,
I'm listening music with the HBH-DS970 Bluetooth headphones.
I noticed, that the soundquality is quite poor, especially the high notes.
Are there any tweaky to improve the soundquality through bluetooth?
Thanks

Philips Taster SHB7110 works perfect!
Hello everybody!
I purchased this headset and works perfectly with my HTC HD2 (I'm installed previously the SRS WOWHD v1.5.1.0). Clear sound (for me) and very comfortable!

I have the same headset and the souns is like am radio,,I think at the problem is in the bluetooth configuration,this phone is coming whit bluetooth 2.1 and maybe this is one of the problems,the another one is att you cant no change the audio parameters in bluetoth like I do in my xperia,so spensive and so meny problems
HBH-IS800

DR-BT160AS...
...is working fine for me.
Everything like Volume, Skipping, Searching, Pause/Play and talking via the headsetfunction ist fine.
Voice is clear at the other end of the "wire"
Really light and works for about 6 hrs. on normal volume (hearing until jogging)

Just got my set of Jaybird JB200...
I had to edit this post and write my updated impressions about the set... The next/prev buttons now work like a charm, even with the main Sense player, which I still prefer over players like PocketPlayer or Core Player... The peering is still kinda sketchy... The phone doesn`t ask for the key of the set and sometimes it does not register Stereo sound from the first try... It seems the way to make it register stereo is having a stereo feed live... like a song playing... The sound itself is very good, I`m satisfied with the quality and the look of the earphones...
If anyone knows a solution for the peering problems please give me a tip...

[Q] Sound Cuts off at Low Volume

This problem has been reported on the Samsung Galaxy Note, S II, Droid DNA and others, but I didn't know it was also a problem on the HTC First until I got mine. Whenever my music goes to a low volume with my headphones on, the sound just mutes. It comes back when the music goes louder. If I increase my volume, it cuts off less. At full volume, it does not cut out at all. I have no problems playing through the speakers.
One needs to listen to audio with short silences to be able to notice it. Some say it is related to Beats Audio, with the problem going away if Beats Audio is turned off; I don't think that is a possibility on the HTC First, though.
I use my phone mostly to listen to music and streaming radio, so this is a deal breaker for me. Are any of you experiencing the same problem?

i can not confirm the problem.
i tested my HTC with BOSE and Pioneer headphones and do not have any problems with both.
no matter if i play music loud or very low volume.
will test it tomorrow with my monster beats and let u know.

HTC Support on Sound Cut-Off Issue
For the sake of completeness, I will let you know that I called HTC Support about this sound cut-off issue. The person on the phone was very nice and tried to help me for some 40 minutes.
The bottom line is that he couldn't reproduce the issue in the few songs he played (which didn't surprise me). He made some note for the developers but I don't think anything will come out of it.
In the meantime, I found a good song to test this strange behavior: "brainstew" by Green Day. Plug your headphones to your HTC First and listen to the first 30 seconds at low volume. It you hear distortion as the sound volume changes, please let me know (right now it seems that I'm the only one noticing this).
Thanks!

I'm seeing this as well. Has nobody else seen this?

[Q] Skip song with the help of headphone??

Hello all,
Yesterday I got my new Red Lumia 720. I was happy with the overall performance of the handset but one think I couldnt understand.. Why did the hell nokia give a low standard headphone (like those come with chinese phones) and it doesnt have a button.! How am I supposed to pick the call or skip a song with the help of headphone like I used to do in my Xperia Z... Will I be able to do it if I change my headphone with some other with a button to pick the call?? Now I m thinking was I right to opt for WP8 over android even when basic things r missing!

My ATIV S is perfectly happy to take calls or enter voice command mode using the headset button. I haven't tried skipping songs that way; my headset only has the one button (it will pause a song or start playing again, though). My recommendation would simply be to find a headset and try it before buying anything. Actually, that would be my recommendation for any product, including the phone itself.
