This patcher has bugs, when the patcher and 1020867a.cre are on my desktop the patcher says it was successfull when it did not even open and patch the file.
I traced it with filemon and it somehow was inserting stuff into the path instead of opening
C:\\Documents and Settings\\user\\Desktop\\1020867a.cre
It tried to open:
C:\\Documents and Settings\\user\\Desktop\\Settings\\user\\Desktop\\1020867a.cre
So of course it failed to open the file to patch it

I copied the files to e:\\tmp and ran it from there and it patched the file sucessfully as the file had a different cksum.

Not tested the volume yet, only have a DS220 BT headset with me at the moment, not sure if it suposed to affect BT stereo headphones?

Anyone using the patcher might want to run it in

@Spattinson
Yes! The patcher have bug! Thank you!

@all
If patching was true successfuly than must be backup file created! "1020867a.cre.bak"
Use it on root dir (c:\). Should work.

I use HPM-85 and the sound indoors at silence is only acceptable for me... Outdoors the volume ain't anything... I ain't deaf and I love loud music...

@swmail:

The patched file works great. The volume increase is really noticeable (as you mentioned, around 40% - 50%). However, this only works for wired headphones. With A2DP Bluetooth headphones the volume is still low. I noted something interesting though: With the wired headphones I set the multimedia volume to 60%. Afterwards, when I paired the Bluetooth headphones, I noticed that the volume was set to 100%. Could it be possible that for Bluetooth devices, there is a "second multimedia volume" control? (a separate .cre file, perhaps?). I'd like to run some additional tests to double check it, but I wonder if you noticed the same thing or not. If my theory is not true, do you believe the Bluetooth device is limiting the sound directly? Great job anyway!

In my case the volume level (wired headphones and A2DP) on my P990 did not change.
I just copied the modded cre file to the relevant folder on drive C and restarted the phone. This specific file did not exist on my P990 before I copied it, so I wonder how the OS finds out it has to use this file. Perhaps we are supposed to modify another file to point to this one.

The MOD is working perfectly well, i see great changes in output of sound, but its only through wired handsfree.
well hats off SWMAIL.
During music play, if you get a call or message, the alert sound is also amplified so be careful of your ears.

Ok, I have some additional news on this MOD: There is NO separate volume for Bluetooth devices. Even more, Bluetooth is not either the cause of the low volume problem. The low volume will remain in all devices with an INDEPENDIENT VOLUME CONTROL. I used a wired device that provides mini-jack headphones output and the results were the same.

Long story short: If you want to tell the audio gains of this MOD, use a pair of headphones with NO built-in audio control.
