How to Increase the Headset Volume on your Motorola Q
When I was attempting to set up my Q as an MP3 player, I ran into the problem of the headset volume being just too low.
After searching, I found the way to handle this by means of a registry hack.
Navigate through the path as follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Software
Motorola
BPCTRLR
WaveDev
BaseGains
Press the values button on the bottom left of the screen and locate StereoHdstPathGain Value, select it and raise value to 10 or higher (10 seems acceptable). Press Done when complete.
How to Edit the Registry of your Motorola Q
For the purpose of making Hacks to your Q, editing the registry will be a necessary task.
A hack is a tweak of a technical system to alter the manner in which it operates usually outside of manufacturers settings.
The registry is the part of the operating system where values and settings are recorded for an application to refer to for various actions. Example: If an audio application had the volume set to 4 and it was designed to "remember" the volume set, it might record that in the registry so when the application needed to find the last recorded volume for that application, it could find it there in a specified location.
The first thing needed will be an application to edit the registry.I chose PHM registry editor and installed it.
If you are new to editing a registry, take care to follow instructions from trusted sources exactly as incorrect editing can cause issues where reinstalls may be necessary depending on the application affected. Having said that, it is not very complicated as it resembles editing a setting in any application or webpage. On the Menu, you will find an option to backup the registry and I suggest you do this before making any edits.
To edit a setting, follow the path indicated to the specific setting and make the alteration. It is very similar to using a common file explorer.
