Sound Issue - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello All,
I've just got a quick question to see if anyone else has experienced this or if anyone's got any suggestions on what to try.
I've recently noticed bad sound quality on my Hero's ear piece. When people talk it sounds somewhat distorted. Everyone says they can hear me fine, but when they talk it sounds off to me. I've been playing with Villian Rom since's he's been releasing it, but I don't think it's a rom issue because I've gone back to an earlier ROM and same thing. I've also tried the radio before the current one to see and still the same thing. Any suggestions? maybe try and even earlier radio? or could that damage my phone in any way.
Thanks and advance,
AZ

Phone mic voice too soft

My phone is giving me a problem in this area. When i talk on the phone (without using bluetooth or handsfree) people say i sound very far, or very soft. I've tried alot of different radios, and schaps diff versions. Including the latest 4.22ROM
Other then the rom itself i didn't install any other thing. But yet i'm still having this problem.
I've read in other topics that might be about setAcoustic.exe problem, but it doesnt' seem to solve my problem.
Anyone got any other suggestions? It's been causing me a big pain :
anyone know how to fix this??
update, it seems to be happening at random atm, some phone calls it's very clean, other it's too far..
hi, im having this same problem on my 8525. sometimes people can hear me and sometimes people can't hear me at all. any one else have this problem?
there was an old thread on this, search setAcoustic and you'll find it. if that fails , then i guess you can join me to wait for another solution
on the side note, bluetooth works nicely and i don't get any voice distortion or volume too soft.
Update:
So far things seems to be better atm, but it still happens. Sometimes while talking halfway, my signal can get very bad.. does this have to do with radio?
hey guys .... this is my first post here and i too am facing the exact same problem.... any solutuins? please HELP! (sorry for the caps)

Here's something to try the next time someone complains you sound far away/too soft: Switch over to your bluetooth handsfree without moving the phone. If you start sounding better then, I would guess that your built-in mic isn't working properly. You'd never know especially since you got it from eBay
Signal strength shouldn't matter too much, unless you start getting a marginal signal (say, one bar), and if that happens, try moving your head about (with your phone) - that should help the signal a little.

haha yeah, recently it seems to be working though, a few times people called me and said can't hear me but i called them back and it worked.
well just an update, nothing seems to be working for me.
Flashing to the latest schap's rom = not working
flasing to other radio versions = not working
Changing to non 3G network, same problem
i'm beginning to be convinced that it might be my phone hardware that's screwed up.
now i'm flashing back to original official dopod rom. see if that fixes things.
Update: While installing my officail dopod rom, i realize that the officail ones install alot more stuff into my Dopod.
Is this normal/ as per compared to schap's roms?
this is the 1st time i'm installing a WM6 official rom, does it make any diff? Everytime you reinstall a rom = kinda like format drive C and reinstalling windows right?
If startup animation is enabled, and set acoustic parameter is not ran. You will have low volume issue. It is Rom/WM related, not necessarily a hardware problem. My Rom ahs startup animation disabled, acoustic parameter is properly set.
Second that, I highly recommend u all try k's 1.30b rom!
how do you make sure acoustic parameter is properly set?
bump.. any one figure this out yet? im tired of texting i just want to talk on my phone hahah. ive come to the point that im gonna buy a razr.
hi all, just another update.
things was working very well for a long while while using K's rom, but now it's starting to happen again while i'm on k's rom.
setAcoustic Param is done (i read in K's rom it's set properly)
anyone got any other suggestions?
update: I've been reflashing a few diff roms, apparently all of them have the same problem, including K's one which i see setAcoustic running at 1st run.
I really have no clue why my voice is too soft. Now i'm flashing the official HTC one, hopefully it works...
anyone got any new info on this? i'm still having the same problem
if it is an hardware issue, is there anyway to figure if it is an hardware issue? or how do i open my phone?
just another update.
Now my voice fades in and out.. it's literally mood swings.. sometimes sounds good, other times sounds bad..
but i'm resorting to use wireless for now. it seems that wireless is more stable. there was 1 time which i was trying to talk on the phone's mic but the other party couldn't hear me, so i switched to wireless immediate on the same call and the other party could hear me immediately.
I've changed countless of roms already, the problem is still there regardless of what rom, official ones from HTC or others cooked in here, (schaps, k's, and many others) i can only assume that my mic is broken....
this i'm in malaysia and this is a orange phone.. i wonder if i can get any warrenty here at all.. or someone that knows how to repair this phone..
Hopefully this will be my last update
I've sent my phone for repairs. hardware wise, they say they fixed it. After that, my volume is pretty stable.
There are once or twice that my voice still went out, however, i found out that by disabling WOW HD Settings, it solved my problem too.
So far, i'm happy with my hermes

[Q] Built in mic HD2

Helloww evreybody,
first sorry for mine bad english.
If I call people or people call me, they hear mine voice bad, its just like I am far away mmine phone.. why is this so? can is resolve it by myself?
That´s not much information in order to be able to give you a helpful hint.
The sound quality of how you are heard by others often depends on the radio ROM, lots of users try different ones.
But, if you are new to flashing etc., you might feel uncomfortable with this solution.
I tried several radio roms, but it doesnt work. The problem is when i call someone then he hears me like i am far away the phone. So the problem is on mine phone. What Radio version should i try?
nobody? ..:s
Have u tried calling using a headset ? If it works fine with the headset then it might be the mic or just check the mic hole there might be something stuck.

[Q] mic doesn't pick up sounds unless in speaker mode

have had this issue for awhile now. When running sense based roms people can only hear me during calls if i put my phone on speaker mode. otherwise they say i sounds like i am super far away or they can't hear me at all. when running CM10 people cannot hear me whether my phone is on speaker or not.
has anyone heard of this or have any idea how to possibly fix this issue?
HELP HELP PLEASE!!!
thank you in advanced.
nothing?
i was afraid of this

Volume Issues

Ok, i'm sure i'm not the only one having this issue. I'm stock and currently on the latest OTA and for some reason my phone likes to reset itself to max volume. I can almost always reproduce it with having headphones plugged in, playing a a song and when i open my dialer, it goes max volume. Its a persistent issue and i was wondering if anyone has had these similar issues and or possible knows of a fix? if its a known bug, then i guess i'll have to find a work around till another update is released . At the moment, i'm using Audio Manager to keep the volumes from changing again. I tried to recreate the issue again with the above process and it sounded like it was about to jump up then came back down so its working for now...just wish it worked properly is all. Anyone with this happening to them too?
Update: Ok, so i'm noticing when i start to have issues...i have my headphones plugged in and the beats app shows a notification...but beats is off when i check settings... possibility?
Update 2: Turning off beats and trying to recreate the issue no longer happens. guess its beats after all. guess i'll run without it for now. if its just me having issues and not anyone else, i'd appreciate hearing it from you guys to know what my next step should be thanks again guys!
Update 3: Damn it...went in with high hopes....still went to max volume when i went into the dialer....just didnt make my ears bleed since beats was off... i'm out of ideas...i wait for your responses....
Update 4: So i have not been able to stop looking for information and i found some other posts that helped. Alot of people were having issues with Tango. No problems now after uninstall! Hope this helps anyone that was having issues. Sorry if this was annoying >.< Now i know... (if it helped you, at least some good came out of it)
I've had the same issue on both mine and my wife's DNAs. We haven't used headphones with them though, so I don't think that's the problem. I have searched all over the net for tips and this is the first one that seems to work. Thanks!
yup...
I'm experiencing the same problem... Know what you mean about making your ears bleed. I use beats by Dre ear buds. Happened on my first DNA more frequently. I had it replaced after it was stolen. Didn't happen on the new one for weeks, thought I was in the clear. Will try uninstalling tango...
I would believe the idea about Tango. I used to have this problem all the time. I don't have Tango now and I haven't had the problem in a long time. Never knew or thought about Tango being the culprit. Thanks I will never go back and download it now.

Headphones partially not working - not a hardware issue

Hey fellas,
so I recently got a used S6 Edge and there was a problem whenever I used headphones. The left earbud works fine but there is hardly any sound coming out of the right one(checked with several headphones, its a phone issue), really just minimal, very very quiet. I naturally figured this was a hardware error so I went to my local phone repair guy and had that part replaced.
Now, unfortunately the problem still isn't solved. With the new replacement it has gotten a little bit better, but the right earbud is still a lot quieter than the left one. So the repair guy said its a software issue.
Do you guys know anything about that?
I'm not rooted and on the official 5.1.1. Just tried factory resetting but that didn't really help. Any suggestions or anything I can look into that might solve this issue, be it rooted or not?
Cheers
push; anybody?
one last desperate try?
