Sounds Stop Working - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Searched in several forums but could not find anything, so apologies in advance if I missed it and please post the link.
Intermittently the sounds quit working for all alarms, events, phone, etc... I go into Sounds & Notifications to test and again, no sound. Soft reset corrects the issue, but it will come back again.
No extra media players installed, only the standard from the orignal ROM. I have Lotus Traveler installed which adds a sound event. On another PDA (Touch HD) I have BB Connect installed and it displays the same problem.
FWIW I have also seen this behavior on Kaisers and Touch HDs.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or, even better, a solution.

Sorry I can't help but I've had a similar problem. The slider sound doesn't work! Even after reset! Try changing it and still nothing! The rest of the sounds still works but they seems much quieter than normal! I don't think I've installed anything dodgy! Just seemed to happen! Any help would be great!
Thanks

same issue found in my Diamond as well. Maybe it's an issue in WinMo 6.1 in general

Actually, none of the sounds work! Just makes a noise when you change the volume! Soft reset still doesn't help!
Does anyone know what I could try please?

I have the same problem with my Touch Pro2. Sometimes suddenly the volume goes way down even though it shows its at its max. The volume is really soft and you cant hear much.
Also when I receive certain notifications I hear a small click which is proberly the first 0.01s of the notification sound it tries to play.

Count me in.....same here. Wonder, if it´s a hardware issue or a driver problem.....
Hoping for an official WM6.5 ROM soon...

Thanks for the feedback. I can tell you that this happens with AT&T Tilt running stock ROMs/WM6 too.
I am still searching for an answer and if I find one I will post it.

Button Tester?

hey guys,
my green answer call button doesnt seem to work. i'm wondering if its the rom or the phone. it still lights up but doesnt respond when i push the button.
any suggestions like a button tester program?
kind regards,

Are you having any problems with any other keys?
If its just the one you can break your phone down and check your connections and see if anythings loose or damaged. Make sure to go to the Wiki and check out the guide on how to properly take your phone apart.
everything works except for that the green phone button
Starting to wonder about malfunctioning buttons posts
I myself posted a thread on my malfunctioning power button . I am getting the feeling that certain apps and tweaks are causing some of these malfunctioning hardware buttons to happen. Not exactly a scientific point of view, but I think lots of this button malfunctioning (no matter which one), can eventually be resolved by HR or as mentioned in another post, Clear Storage. I myself, within a minute, pulled out my SDMicro card out for 15 seconds, took off Quickmark application (last app or cab put on my system), and my power button turns on/off as it should. I had to resort to SR's when I had my problem..........................
Latest: Found out that my main problem was NOT any of the above,, it all seemed to occur because of a buildup of Notification Queue's,, so check that out... I think that those queue's can be a source of a lot of problems
cheers for that suggestion.
softreset doest fix it so i will have to resort to hard reseting.
lucky the vodaphone version has the 3G phone button and i can use that to get to the dial pad but it then assumes my calls are 3G which are annoying
has anyone got any suggestions then?
i flashed K's new rom and still my 'Green Answer Phone' button doesnt work.

i had a similiar problem when installing a different dialer via cab.
i would suggest to either install a naked rom (like pandora naked) or one of the older roms (like schaps v3.x).
do not install any other cabs and see if the green button is working.
i flashed pandora naked rom and it still doesnt work.
any one have any other suggestions?
if not will i have to take the phone apart :S?
the Irda doesn't work at all, when i install a program to use my tytn as a remote for my tv, and i try to clone my remote i get an error saying "Irda port being used by another application"
and it wont communicate with over devices via Irda. other than that it works great...does anybody know a way to fix this problem?
p.s. tried other roms, Irda works fine, so it's not the phone.
please help this lost soul!!
thanks!
sorry, posted in wrong area! rookie mistake! forget about it!
A general rule I follow is not to use too many .cabs as certain apps and tweaks can cause some of these malfunctionings to happen.
You cant be installing cabs for everything on your phone. Do you really have so much space in your phone?
hey guys i thought this was a thread about getting my green answer call button working again!
seem like more of a hardware problem to me. you can still try checking for bad blocks, flashing another radio, but that all may be futile. look up the disassembly guides in the wiki. mikechannon also has some stuff on that, if u click on his sig

Low volume problem since upgrade to 6.1

Hi,
I have recently upgraded to WM 6.1 and tested various ROMs.
One problem I came across is that on a phone conversation my voice can hardly be heard on the other side
Did anyone encounter this? Any idea what it may be?
Turn off WOW EFFECTS in setting...
I don't think I ever turned WOW EFFECTS on (at least not intentionally).
Where would I find this setting?
as I told you, in settings...
the personal tab.
i also have that problem. been plaguing me for a long long time.
Try a few diff types of roms but make sure they have
1. Start up animation disabled
2. SetAcousticparam in their config file
these 2 are absolutely essential, else your phone voice would be low.
though mine is more or less confirmed to be a hardware problem. if you flash the official HTC asia rom and still get this problem. yeah your case is like mine i guess. other then that, if you find out something else, do lemme know

1) done already
2) where is it?
ringtone volume is very low in 6.1 (19209).
well, with PDAViet Rom I don't have WOW EFFECTS in my personal settings. However, I did find in the Artemis forum a small cab to deactivate the WOW Effects.
Since I installed it the problem is gone!
unfortunately that doesn't work for me. i've tried mine with freshly installed cab files, even those from official HTC, with no WOW effects activated. still doesn't work.
Worst still it's a random problem. soemtimes it works, sometimes it dosen't... oh well..
do you have a2dp headset? I have PDAVIET ROM and bluetooth a2dp headset and every time i finish listening to music, turn off bluetooth i have no sound on my device. No alarms, reminders, ringtone, sms notyfications etc. Had this isue in Faria ROM too.

Diamond sound issues, firmware upgrade?

Hello!
I bought a Diamond for a few weeks ago, unfortunately it's not working very well. Suddenly at random the audio disappears, often when a USB cable is connected. The two solutions i've found is to listen to an mp3 song in wmp for more than 5 seconds, then the audio will pop and scratch and then work again. That works 2 out of 3 times, and the other times i have to do a soft reset. I upgraded the rom to 1.93.413.3 SVE (that is the swedish version), radio is 1.00.25.05, SPL-1.93.0000. I contacted HTC and after explaining that i've done a firmware upgrade, they told me that it is a hardware issue. I contacted my retailer, but they've taken over a month without any response. So my question now is, have anyone had any issues like this? Should i try other firmwares? Radio? If i do, can i easily restore everything back so that i can leave it for repair without them noticing? Is it a bad idea? If i brick it, i guess i'm screwed..
I know some of these questions are answered here, but i couldnt find anything about my sound issue, except some SMS sound issues, that is not the same problem i am experiencing though.. Also, if someone calls me when i have no sound, neither me or the one i am talking to can hear anything.
Thanks in regards
Johan
sounds like a Hardware issue, do anything you can to get in contact with the Vendor, Phone calls, emails anything.
try the attached driver + sound parameters.
taken from ATT_RAPHAEL_1.94.19971 ROM
It seems this driver handle 2 new audio setting files that were not present in the diamond:
FilterFile and PreProcessFilterFile
It is a new sound driver tested on my Diamond and working fine, less glitches, better sound but doesn't change the poor hardware HP unfortunatly.

Can you provide instructions on how to use and what to insert where in the device (diamond)

Hi TekTonik,
I have tried these drivers on my Diamond but it crashes whenever a sound plays. I copied the contents of the OperatorPKG folder to \Windows then replaced the wavedev.dll. I also added the new keys into the registry (FilterFile, PreProcessFilterFile and AcousticFile).
Are you using a cooked ROM with these drivers or did you update them manually? If so, any ideas what I am missing and also which ROM/Radio are using?
Would it be possible to post your registry settings for HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev please?
The reason why I am trying these drivers is in a hope to fix the infamous sound lag which you can read about here:

Hi.
I am also having the same problem. bought a new set, but there is no sound in standby after about 10 minutes. whatever i do, the music player, screen taps, sound settings - still there's no sound.
the only solution is a soft reset - but that too, works for ten minutes, and then again the unit goes deaf n dumb.
Have tried the thread above (to remove the lag), but still, no improvement.
is there a solution to this problem? can anybody guide me? please?

I have exactly the same issue on my SonyEricsson Xperia X1. I really wonder if that's a hardware issue. What I also figured out: When you do the WM Player workaround have a look at the reception indicator. When the sound comes back my reception is lost for a short time. It seems to me the phone module performs a reset.
No Sound on Diamond
I have the exact same problem, and also in my case it only comes back after playing a music file for more than 5 seconds. Has anyone found a solution yet?
I also have the exact problem above on my diamond. Actually, I feel HTC is really not responsible for their product. Their diamond has been released more than 3 months, till now, still no positive feedback to this.
I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THEIR ATTITUDE. IF I CAN CHOOSE AGAIN, I WILL NOT BUY ANYTHING ELSE FROM HTC.
I also got this problem
Hope someone can find out whats doing it, i doubt its a hardware issue
mee to
sadly it also happend to me, but I think it happend when the batery y less that a 50 %
I don't understand htc spirit : make a phone with an awfull HP sound !!! what did they do with theyr diamond ? playing chess ? or phoning , really a shame !

Working SRS WOW HD for TP2..?

Hi All
I have used SRS WOW for my Dopod 838Pro for years and loved it.
This is the one enhancement that is a must have for enjoying your music on some decent headphones - way better than HTC's native Audio Booster.
I have messed with the assortment of readily available cab variations (1.2.1, 1.5.1, the arm panel etc), reg hacks to fix the driver issue, resets etc. all for the last few days but cannot get it to run successfully on my TP2.
The issues are:
The 1.2.1 version will install, you can apply the flag reg hack (which works), reset, plug in your headphones and tweak away - great, it works!
The problem is that the TP2 will go into its screen-off sleep mode and just not wake up. You need to remove the battery for it to run again but the same thing happens - bugger!
I have also had the conflict issue with MS Voice Command not being able to start. BTW, Voice Command on TP2 is great!
So, i was wondering if anyone has it or (them both preferably) working successfully on their TP2?
I would really like this to be available for all users as it is really such a great addition to your phone.
Any input greatly appreciated (really want this)....
Cheers to all
Jabberoo
I do apologise if this is bad, but i am gonna bump this to keep it going.
I feel that an answer/solution by someone here with great skills would benefit so many of us as this is a very good little addition to the TP2.
Anyone...?
Cheers
Jabbero
Hi All
Still really interested in getting this sorted.
I have tried virtually all available WOW types listed on this site (and elsewhere) with no luck.
I tried one called called "dsixda SRS WOW English.cab" (repacked from a Chineses ROM), this actually ran for a whole day and was really promising, but then my device eventually stayed in sleep mode (like all the others) - sigh. It too caused a conflict with MS Voice Command.
So back to square one - Buger, bugger, [email protected]
Really want these 2 to work as they are a most valuable addition to a good device.
Can anyone put their genius to sorting these out for us all...?
Cheers
Jabberoo
iirc wow hd conflicts with htc audio booster. Will work flawlessly, but you will need to turn off touch flo..........
i did this on my diamond and used SPB shell instead............... Only solution i know of, sorry.
Thx Charms
I see. I was hoping there would be a way to get this happening, by way of someone's insightful genius, as it is a very worthwhile inclusion for our devices.
It's funny that, for me at least, having good sound through headphones is a key element of having this device and it is the one thing that seems underserved in general. HTC's equalizer really pales in comparison to this little cab. Equalisation of sound just doesn't do the same thing...
Maybe that is a cue for a project, disect the SRS app and make one that doesn't share its downsides...??
Cheers to all
Jabberoo

It is the one add-on that makes such an enormous difference when listening to music thru headphones on virtually any device. I think now SRS even make something specifically for iPhone (bloody iphoners!)

Still no good news?
It´s a shame....:-(
It so happened that I installed the SRS WOW HD version 1.5.1.0 yesterday and it's been working like a charm - even the sms notification sounded better than before!
installed SRS WOW and it worked but it caused A LOT of problems
one, i played using the Sense player and i couldnt lower the volume although the meter was showing it was on silent the music was still blairing on my headphones
i unplugged it and plugged it back in and it works, another problem occurs, most of my music wont play anymore :/
gave up on it and i just fiddled with audio booster and got the best setting out of it.....

Which version did you install? I had a problem with SOD from an old version some time ago and had to uninstall it - just seen a new version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584626
Haven't tried it yet, but some posts on that thread state works with TP2.
I just tried installing version 2.1 that was posted on the first post of that thread on my unbranded TP2, with Sense 2.1 and Winmo 6.5. Unfortunately, I got a standby of death within 2 hours of installing it. Hope this SOD thing gets resolved eventually.

Yes, installed it myself today and had SOD before I even had chance to use it! I installed it and soft reset as instructed but then was at work and when checked my phone for email... SOD! Thought it was maybe because I had it charging off a PC without Activesync installed, reset and after checking it had rebooted, I went to lunch and it had SOD'd again on my return. Rebooted, uninstalled SRS WOW and soft reset and no SOD all afternoon.
Running latest stock 6.5 WWE ROM with Sense 2.5.
yeah, i hope the wake up gets fix...i would like to use this app....
Wow..thats all I can say. Wow because it actually produced great results and wow because it caused my phone to sleep every time the backlight went out. Uninstalled and no problem since. I was ready to take my phone back.
Seems even not necessary to uninstall, SOD went away by just un-clicking enable SRS tic box, I couldn't figure out how to un-install WOW HD anyway
Got the SOD myself using it. Took it off & everything was fine, but I task 29'd & reflashed my ROM. Wasn't taking no chances.....
Hi,
I'm struggling with the Sleep Of Death issue as well (WM 6.5.5 and SRS WOW HD 2.1). I've even found a fix for Omnia which involved a registry edit that - I'm guessing here - told the device not to hold devices "wav1" and "wav8" when going to sleep mode, but, apparently, what works for Omnia, doesn't help at all for Touch Pro 2.
Anyone who will make SRS WOW HD working on my TP without the SOD will be my hero. Any help?
i want to say this app allows me to listen to the radio while in the shower its that loud!!
when i get out the shower i cant turn my phone back on aggghhh!!!
please a fix???????

Sleep mode issues

Sleep mode issues
I have discovered that if I let my Artemis go into sleep mode it doesn't "take calls". Doesnt even register a call came in.
It does let me know I had a voicemail
it does pick up on text messages.
Just not incoming calls.
When I try to call out after I wake it up from sleep mode, it tries, but just does not want to connect. Phone doesn't freeze, just never makes the call. when I try to hang up, the "hanging up" screen stays forever, but I can go back to home screen. The phone icon in the top left taskbar never goes away, either. ( happens only sometimes otherwise outgoing works fine)
I am fairly certain this is a known issue, but is there any workaround for this? Perhaps command in startup txt regarding sleep mode?
Its sad..its just like a brick in Sleep mode and u cod end up making many enemies in ur freinds circle when you are not calling back...
Please help me
