Noise with silence Music - HTC Incredible S

I have the problem that, when the music ist very quietly I hear a loud noise in my earphones. When I pause teh music i hear it loud. When the player shuts down the noise is away.
I have Ultimate Ears UE-900. I hear ist only with high quality earsphone.
Anyone the same problem?

I had the same issue with various devices such as iPods and various phones using Shure E4C earphones.
The solution or work around was to add some resistance in line after some reading on the head-fi forums a few years ago.
This can be done by getting a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable and soldering a certain resistor inline (can't remember which),
or an easier cleaner solution, use an inline attenuator/volume control. One comes with the E4Cs so I used this. Turn up the volume on the source/phone/device and use the volume control on the attenuator to adjust to your liking, this should remove or reduce the hissing that is generated whenver the phone/media player's sound system is outputting a signal.

external speaker volume

can someone tell me if there is a way to make the volume louder when viewing a video or playing music when the sound is coming from the external speaker?
Amp up the system volume.
See this thread a day ago http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354011 Ba aware that overdriving a tiny speaker, as used in the Kaiser, will likely shorten it's life so you may end up killing the speaker. If it's very loud video or music you want (eg to 'compete' with industrial noise in the background) then aside from wearing your earphones under a set of ear defenders, your best bet is to plug in a proper set of amplified speakers which are up to the task and give quality sound.

[Q] Good audio quality in dock?

I have a google car dock for my nexus one and I hook the audio through the car stereo with a 3.5mm audio cable. When it is plugged into the dock the sound is very low and the quality is terrible. If I just pull it out of the dock everything is back to normal -- this happens with all apps.
What do I have to do in order to prevent the phone from doing this while docked?
you have the exact same setup as i do and ive seen this as well, i think there is something that makes the audio play at a different volume specifically for when it is docked for some reason. im on cm6.1.1 and it seems a little better because i believe they tweaked something with it, i saw a checkin on cmsrc on twitter that modified some line with dock volume.
what ive found is if i set the media volume to about 5/8 or 7/8 then dock it the volume will make its "dock adjustment" and its up to where my car volume is from there, usually a little less distortion if the phones volume is a little lower than max. from there if i forget to set the media volume i will use the preamp slider in the poweramp music players equalizer to adjust.
i just wish the volume wouldnt change at all and the volume button on the side of the dock would change the media volume :\
side note: have you noticed that the voice search when docked doesnt pick up your voice very well? almost like the noise canceling mic is cancelling you out or something and other times it can pick up your voice great?
Actually the sound volume was solved by some user that re-compiled libaudio with the code that lowers the sound by 10db commented out. The problem I have is that the sound quality is so poor that it seems to be mono without bass.
It turns out that the crappy audio quality comes from Bluetooth being on. When I disable Bluetooth in car mode, everything is great. Unfortunately I can't figure how to make it disabled by default so I have to disable it everytime.

Music too loud trough headphones

Hi I have a problem I have extremely good hearing and when I listen to my music on my note with the volume on minimum my ears hurt like hell when listening because it is too loud I measured it with a decibel meter and it is 52 decibels is there a way to make it less loud
How can it be too loud when on minimum ? It will be like a whispering mouse.
Have a fiddle with the equalizer settings, you may be able to reduce it a bit, As for mods and apps, they only exist to INCREASE the volume.
Or better still, place some cotton wool in your ears before putting your headphones in.

It is quiet with ear buds but when my big as headphones are connected they are way louder possibly because of the 50 millimeter drivers
aaaaah, that makes sense I assumed you were talking about the stock in-ear headphones.
I have some beats studios and they are very loud too, But i like it loud so its no problem for me.....
Do you have DSP Manager installed ? you could try to lower the bars to reduce the volume, Or try the app, Fine volume https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=opotech.finevolumev2

OK I will try that I have some beats pro which I unfortunately could not use because of the loudness so I used them on my mp4 player from sony
I think the best solution for you is a hardware solution, means: Buy an adapter which includes a resistor (with +/- to increase/decrease the Ohm).
All other solutions will impact the sound too much.
Those adapters are cheap and should be available at all eletronic shops.

Get an app with pre amp so you can turn the signal down b4 it's amplified.

[Q] Background noise on the headphones

Hi,
In the past few days I noticed that there's some background interference when I have headphones plugged in.
To make sure its not caused by badly shielded headphones I tried the stock ones that came with the phone, stock headphones of the One X and a pair of Shure SE215 IEMs, as well as my home hifi block.
All of them show the same thing: There's audible, and annoying, background noise when there's no music playing, and slightly less annoying noise in a low-volume part of a song.
Now before I send the phone in for repairs because of the (probably) faulty DAC I wanted to know whether this might be software thing (changing overall volume also changes the volume of the noise, turning beats on or off doesn't change anything) and if somebody else has/had this issue as well.
Regards,
Alex

Hissing when playing audio through headphones.

There's a hissing/static noise whenever audio starts. If I pause it'll stop after a few seconds. Anyone know the cause of this?
I'm also interested in this. When I tried playing in my car, firstly I thought it could be software or some equalization problem. But, even deactivating all, that hiss continued so maybe it could be the quality of audio cable (quite poor).
Trying at home with a quite decent pair of earphones: Sennheiser IE8, I still can hear the hiss. It is much less hearable (suppose less amplification of sound, I've been listening music at maximum level to detect it), but also here.
I think there are only 2 possibilities: bad software/ROM implementation or defective/bad hardware. The defective hardware is rare, I've read some opinions and all say more or less the same... I expected some more quality of sound, and more if it comes from Sony...
