Hey Guys,

Finally figured out the Voice Command volume problem.
Go to your reg editor (I use PHM)
HKEY Current User - Control panel - Sound Catagories - Voice Command -
Change:
Attenuation Catagory - Value 1
InitVol - Value 3

This made mine as loud as the ringer, which is pretty loud after I applied the sound hack.

Someone tell me if this hack works on yours.

Pete

Wow that worked for me to. Great find

Damn, it works. All we need now is to get BT volume higher.

On the VX6700, this value is set to 4 by default.

Didn't do anything on my VX6700. Yes, I did the soft reset afterwards. Oh well.

I can't seem to get this installed on my 6700. It doesn't show up in the list.

I think it will only work on the sprint version. Does the XV come with any preloaded voice software?

This is interesting. I previously did not make any reg hacks to the VC. But, seeing this post made me take a look at the reg entry. In my PPC-6700, the reg key is found in
HKEY Current User - Control panel - Sound Catagories - Voice Command1 - (there's an extra "1" at the end). Also, the value in "attenuation catgory" is 3 (not 1) and the value for "Initvol" is 5.

Does anyone else have these same values?

yes, I do see "Voice Command1"...

Worked for me also

These were the same as mine. I played around a bit and changed each of the above dword values to a few different combinations, ranging from 0 to 7, and ended up with just changing AttenuationCategory to 1. Lowering the number for InitVol seemed to clip the end of the Voice Command announcements.

what reg are you guys using , i can never get ?

i've already played with these settings and tried just about every combination possible. i still don't think it's loud enough for "real world" use and certainly not as loud my ringer.

I do not have a sprint phone, I am with alltel.

I have done this hack and all is working great.

It seems that there is some confusion onhow to apply this hack with some.

Here is how you do it.

Open your regedit program
Go to
HKEY Current User - Control panel - Sound Catagories - Voice Command (or Voicecommand1)-
click on voice command(or voicecommand1) and look for the keys and value section

In the settings
Change:
Attenuation Catagory - Value 1
InitVol - Value 3
Close the edit app
soft reset
and then you might need to check your settings in Voice Command.
Once you have the VOice command settings set for the phone for announce calls, etc
Then call your phone and see if you notice an increase in volume.

If you are running any 3rd party apps, you might need to make sure the volume is set to full.

The 6700 doesn't come with this software, at least not from verizon. Which is the best one to get?

thanks

Works great.. good lookin!!

Attenuation value of "1" is what is important. You dont have to soft reset for the change to work. You can change the key and call yourself and its already in effect.

Thanks Greg, man it sure is nice to actually hear who's calling without bending over and looking at the phone

NICE!

I must say that was GREAT, it really worked... Quick question is there a way of making it even louder?
