sound quality and loudness through headphone jack

[PleaseBreathe]

Kind of off topic, but I took an old 3.5mm cable and cut it so it had about a 4" tail. I plug this in to act as the antennae and then I listen via speaker. It works pretty well.

:/ Can anyone else comment on audio quality and have there been any progress on making it 'less loud' i.e. more refined volume settings?

Audio quality is great and it gets plenty loud. I can see how some may say that it doesn't get quiet enough on the lowest setting. I see no real solution to this.

I think that the sound quality is poor. Mostly because drums (bass sounds) sound more like they're popping than thumping. I first noticed it yesterday when I ran Slacker through the car stereo, and thought maybe it was just the song. But I had never noticed this before when listening to Slacker with my Blackberry, nor when using it with my iPod at home.

Today at the gym, I listened to Slacker again, with the same Sennheiser headset that I have been using with my Blackberry, and noticed that popping sound, and also noticed it when using the FM radio on the Incredible. I am thinking this must be an Android issue and it can be fixed via software.

Also, is there an equalizer or any other kind of audio enhancement built in? I couldn't find anything.

Just an FYI.. There is an audio issue with all Android phones. Slacker has this issue and Pandora has it somewhat too.. I'm tempted to return my Incredible because of this. I use streaming services 95% of the time at work. Never had this issue with Crackberry like you said. I've tried the Moto Droid (on 2.0 software) and Incredibe, both have this issue.

Will Froyo 2.2 fix? When will HTC get that software out to folks? WHO KNOWS!
