Read the disclaimer for the qpst. Setting the tab all the way up to four has the potential to blow out your phone's speakers. Three is the best bet. As always you do this at your own risk and nobody is responsible if you mess up your phone. Don't mean to sound like a douche but I had to tell somebody off for smarting off to me about using qpst.
actually if you put your ear RIGHT UP TO THE PHONE it'll sound louder! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!?!?!?!? lol. now if you actually read the manual.. I think it actually says something like you have to hold your phone at least an inch away from your head or you'll die of the rays coming out of your phones. lol! QPST is ****ty software. I'm not paying to use it.
I am only trying to help another xda member. Please do not post replies saying that a question is unintelligent.

I have tried different apps to increase the volume (both speaker and headphone) of my Evo3D, but I never actually felt any difference. Only difference I felt was when I installed Mwakious's Roms with his sound enhancements, there was a bit of an increase, I have to admit. You guys should give it a shot, seems better than those Google Play apps that you need to pay in order to receive... nothing

Yes I noticed this as well. For evo we used DSP manager but im not 100% if we can transfer it over without root, but idk. There are a few apps in the market you could try...
Thanks i don't feel like trying out every app in the market either if someone knows of 1 that does work or have to wait on root but really the media sound is very low when on full.

I just checked the market and it seems we are gonna have to wait for root for any volume hacks to work. But its good the issue has been addressed!
Same here, i noticed that the volume in other apps such as tango and qik video are low too.
Well ill hope when we get root that a rom has a sound hack to boost it.
I tired the 2 on the market they did nothing.HTC really dropped the ball on the sound of the media because i mean they made a 3d phone and to watch movies on it and such and made the sound so low ugggh
It's low for sure.
Anyone else either think all media stuff netflix.youtube etc volume even when maxed is way to low?
And has anyone found any type of fix? if not i guess we wait till root.But man HTC really could have gave a little more volume.
Where's that option I saw in one of the reviews, the setting for SRS?? I'm actually trying to find that review now. hMMm
*Edit* I think you need the headphones for that but still...where is the setting?
Ive been looking but not able to find it but this thing is low even when full so something will need to be done.

I think the SRS is only available when using the default HTC player. When you start up a video you have saved on your device/sd it will have the icon for SRS on the bottom left corner. You touch that to toggle SRS off or on. It does increase the volume to turn it off, but not very much.
Also, even with the EVO4G, I tried every app I could find on the market, and only ever found 1 that increased the volume, and it did so very insubstantially; almost not even a noticeable difference. DSP Manager is the only thing I've seen that actually worked. Root is required, and not sure that it would work on the E3D regardless.
We'll just have to wait it seems.
Important and accurate thread. Any chance this could be fixed via a firmware update from HTC?
And i know this is a little off topic but isn't Android sort of SUPPOSED to be open-source-y? So why the run around and root wars? I dream of a world where you can press 1 button for root access but must sign a waiver/void I'd warranty to do so. Have to do it un-store so not a bunch of idiots will just click w/o reading.
Of course even in that world a lot of us would obviously STILL try to do a root under the radar...
Stock EVO and stock evo3d are so far apart in media sound.Same youtube video on both first the evo i have to almost turn it down from full and with the evo 3d i have to hold it near me to even hear it.Worlds apart.

Well,then your OG Evo had a blown speaker in it or something. Because this thing is night and day compared to the Evo 4G.
Sent from that EVO3D Thingy...I need an asprin.
I thought I was crazy when I needed to put my ear up to the phone when playing back a message from Google Voice as I didn't think it was actually coming out of the back speaker. It sure was.
Man we need a fix!
Hello,
I am glad I am not the only one who has noticed this. The EVO 4G could get quite loud almost on par with many Tablets I have seen, the 3D does not get nearly as loud.
SRS is a simulated surround Codec and have not noticed a huge change when using it. At first, I thought it might be the Otterbox Defender, but I took it out and the volume is still awfully low.
Cheers,
JJ
im afraid there prob. isn't a fix for this,its just a small speaker..I think if it gets pumped up it will blow...The quality coming out of it as it is is already on the verge of crackling
I went into the sound settings, turned off pocket mode, then moved the sound sliders all the way up. This seemed to help with my low volume issue.

I've already tried changing the codecs (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194947&highlight=voice+quality) and am just shy of taking a triangle file to the mic opening on my case.. (or exchanging the phone at Sprint)...
So.. My question is.. Has anyone who has had bad call quality with the stock ROM, then rooted their phones and flashed new ROMs have any issues with call quality with the new ROMs?
I'm avoiding taking my phone back as it is a magnificent piece of hardware, however my wife is ready to do it for me if I can't get the call quality improved.

I feel your pain! I took my 3VO back within the 30 days because of the "muffled mic" problem. My favorite tech gave me a brand new one, no questions asked. But, I still have my husband complaining, as well as some friends. I haven't tried changing the codecs, though. I did root my phone and install TWRP recovery. I haven't flashed a ROM, yet, though. So I can't tell you if a custom ROM will work. I am going to try the triangle file, though. Probably today. I had thought part of the problem was my case, which is the Best Buy Platinum. It's made by Seidio. But, taking it off makes no difference. So, I will try filing the back of my Evo. I will report back. I'm also going to choose and flash a ROM this weekend. I was just waiting for a chance to get a Class 10 16GB sdcard from my local Microcenter. I'm just hoping it's a REAL Class 10...
I guess you can try exchanging your 3VO. Just letting you know I had the same problem with the second one.
My husband says he has no problem hearing me from my 3d, but he always sounds muffled when we talk. I'm going to root his 3d this weekend and probably file the mic hole. I've done both of those things to mine already. Nobody complains about my voice quality -- before or after root -- but his is horrible.

Hmm.. Well, I guess it won't help to exchange it then.. Sucks because I use it for business as well and my clients that are located in Colorado had made a comment about it.
Maybe filing open the mic hole and/or flashing a ROM will do the trick (or any combination thereof)

Just wondering if you file the mic hole and if it helped? I changed the codecs, but that didn't do anything for me. I've tried taking off the back of my phone, but that doesn't seem to help the muffled mic issue for me. So, I figure if taking off the back won't help, filing the hole won't either. Might be time to talk to my Sprint tech friend...
Can you keep us posted?

Along with changing the codecs did you also try the volume adjustment threw qpst?? Also if you decide to try the mod check out volume + "plus" ver.1.7. Imo it works great.

What settings did you use with Volume+? I tried it, but didn't hear any difference. I'm wondering if HTC used more than one brand of mic in our 3VOs? We know they used at least 2 different screens. Maybe one mic has higher gain and the kernel is set so that the mic in our phones is squelched? I asked my Sprint tech friend if HTC might address the problem with an update, but he said HTC would have to see it as a problem. Apparently not very many people have complained, at least not to Sprint. Sorry for the long, rambling post.
I tried some tests today. It makes no difference if I'm holding my phone, I'm still muffled. If I plug in my wired headset, my voice is much louder. If I used a voice recorder application, rather than make a call, my voice is louder too. Of course the voice recorder application might have the gain turned up in case you're trying to record something that is not right by the mic.

At first I was mad that you suggested this. But, I tried holding my phone vertically in front of my mouth, with the mic right in front of my mouth. Voila! The other person can actually hear me. Now to figure out how I can hold it so I can hear them, as well. Normally I hold my phone where the speaker is loudest for my ear and angle it towards my mouth, so the mic is near it. Too bad the modification to file out the hole on the back of the phone near the mic doesn't seem to help...

Turn on the "Hearing Aid" mode in Call settings. At the cost of having another icon in your status bar, your volume will be quite loud in call.

DSP Manager might work better for you. Be careful - don't want to blow that tiny thing
Use QPST to increase the volume - this requires that you know ur MSL.
MSL Reader is free on Google Play (requires root!) and how to configure/use QPST can be found by searching XDA.

Even with tweaks the speaker on the LTE is not ideal, I'm guessing that's likely because they were trying to save room when creating the design. I was honestly debating looking up the speaker online and seeing if I could find a better one to replace it with...though this isn't ideal for most people (including myself), I'm still really tempted to do so.

I agree with you but I thought I would throw it out there just on the off-chance it does actually work for some.
How about trying the loudspeaker of motorola photon? It has one of the loudest speaker , and i ve seen it the part is thinner than the evo 4g speaker
The photon speaker also very cheap only $4 online
The problem is how to attach it to our phone ?
I will try this out thank you, even if its just a little louder, I can deal I can't even hear my music in the shower anymore

Hey guys...So I've searched the forums and the interwebs trying to find if anyone else has this issue, but the top speaker on my HTC One is significantly quieter than the lower speaker. It also is super quiet when talking on the phone, as in I have to be in a quiet room and the phone forcibly pressed against my ear in the right place for me to hear anyone. This happens across different ROMs leading me to believe it's a hardware issue, but I was just curious if anyone else has encountered this and found a fix?
Have the same experience. No clue if it's normal or not. Doesn't seem to be too huge of a deal when held from a distance.
True, but the phone call quietness is what kills me.
