Speaker crackling - HTC EVO 3D

Anyone notice speaker crackling when playing music or ringtones when running eternity rom? Have tried 2 different kernels bcblend and anthrax kernel and seems to be the same!

Sounds like a blown speaker. The only time I hear speaker crackle is when I'm on a phone call.

And if you have TEP then sprint will replace it for free.

I have best buys insurance, i was hoping maybe it was releated to the eternity tom that has infected beats

I tried the stock kernel, still same thing, i didnt try switching roms but i heard that there is an issue how beats is tied into our roms and thats whata causing the crackling can anyone confirm?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk

If you are talking about playing music through the headphone jack, I can kinda confirm that the crackling disappears when not using a beats rom. I used Eternity and experienced the crackling. Switched to Olympus beatless and the crackling disappeared.
If you are talking with the external speaker, sounds like that is blown and will need to be replaced.

Its the external speaker.... Damnit here we go

Actually I was having that problem but noticed it only when the screen turned off. I switched Roms since but check to see of that's the case. Turn the screen on with no time out and see if it doesn't crackle. If so, its the ROM. If not, still could be. Haha

Have you tried with anything that doesnt require beats? maybe youtube or a movie? If no crackle there, then its the rom.

This weekend i believe im gonna nandroid and install a stock rom and see what happens, i hope its not the speaker, if it is guess ill see if best buy will fix it

Listen to Metal? Post your music setups

I myself am toying around with a few setups trying to decide which is best. Im finding ROMS play a big part in sound quality. So please post your ROM. I dont know if its cause we dont have kernel source or what, but i cant get the sound quality i had with my thunderbolt.
ROM - Ineffibillis Deus 1.0
Poweramp - like it, but crashes and freezes a lot, at least for me and cant figure out why. When it works i use rock preset, tone disabled, srs enabled, beats disabled. Id give sound quality and power an 8/10.
Google Music - not great alone.. But when combined with EQualizer app it can come close to poweramp. Im shying away from this because i dont want to get too used to it since we will be losing unlimited data.. Also, i hate having to be logged into webplayer at home with my gmail accessible.. :/ ill give this 7.5/10
So what are you guys running?

That's odd. I have never had power amp crash. Ever.
Player pro is a good music player it has good quality

Yeah me either on my tbolt. I cant figure it out.. Driving me nuts. On any clean flash of any current rom, it will run fine until i tap library to change the song. Then it freezes for a few moments before ot either crashes, or actually resumes.

i find myself using the DSPManager app that comes with ineffabilis but its kind of a big power sucker. when streaming pandora with screen off mAh draw goes from like 25 to around 200

Clear data? That usually seems to fix things.
Though, on a clean rom you shouldn't have to do that....
I use the stock music player with Tour Beats by Dre ear buds.

I use the stock music player with the beats buds that came with the phone. Sounds good enough for me!

Then custom EQs on poweramp will make you cry.
Stock operating system, stock music player, beats audio, JVC Gumy buds or Klipsch s4 earbuds. Sounds awesome. Just listened to some Gorgoroth before bedtime last night!

After reading theses posts I tried Poweramp and yes it is very nice. Big improvement over the stock music player. My Rezound sounds much better now over the bluetooth in my car. Prier to Poweramp the stock player lacked Bass, Poweramp is able to over come that disability. Poweramp actually makes the Rezound a lot closer to the sound quality we had on the EVO3D and it didn't even come with Beats Audio.

I highly doubt that! I'm not much of a crier.
And I would never say I'm an audiophile either. I'll check out power amp though if there is a chance it can make Slayer sound better!

Wow Gorgoroth eh? I can't really get into the norwegian black metal- but the documentaries and stories out there are crazy and interesting.. I'm more of a Lamb of God, Every time i die, Mastodon guy... Anyways- I'm currently on the pkmn rom w/ stock player and unknown beats status which is supposedly being fixed in next release.. Sounds good enough to me

It is a big improvement as a previous user posted. You can set EQs where you want, or use the built in presets. And if you want multiple EQs, you can create your own presets.
I dont use earbuds, ever. All my comparisons are based on aux jack in my truck through a bose system. You will hear big differences this way

If you like it, go pro. I seriously can't stand Poweramp coming from my Droid Charge. I tried multiple versions, all of which crashed all the time. I had different ROMs, kernels, etc and Poweramp still crashed. Maybe its fixed now, maybe not.
I think Mortplayer, DSP Manager, and Neutron is where its at.
Oh, and by the way, you take a hit on sound quality in Poweramp with the EQ or tone controls active. It is just the way it is. I don't consider the Rezound sound in the same league as Galaxy S and family on Voodoo or the iPhone, but the Rezound could sound fine if tweaked. Neutron player should have enough tweaks to whip the Rezound sound into shape without a quality hit.
My $.02
I've been using PowerAmp Pro for about 1.5-2 years and never had a problem with it. The Beats headphones kinda suck with metal though since there's too much bass.

I have never had a crash, or even a freeze.
And what kind of hit do you mean? Like battery?

Sound quality hit. I A/B'ed with and without EQ by listening to music and toggling it on and off with the EQ set to flat. It likely has more benefit than harm if you really need to EQ though.
Neutron player is where it is at, IMO.
Its this phone... Just has terrible output. Im seriously thinking of reconnecting my tbolt. You think its has anything to do with no kernel source? How could the tbolt be better?

I have the same issue. I flashed Virtuous yesterday and now all in call volumes are super quiet.
Look for a file called "Sense4.0_InCall_Vol_Fix.zip"
It fixed mine.

^^^ So all your audio is very low, just not your call volume? Media volume is pretty low on the 3d, but my phone volume was VERY low after flashing ICE. After doing the in_call.zip fix, my media volume is still low, but my phone volume is back to what it was under 2.3*.
Maybe a thread title change?

My speaker has be good without an issue (knock on wood) but ever since I flashed an ics rom like few days later all of a sudden I can't hear ppl on the other end really

FWIW, I'm using Newts RC3. If you haven't given his ROM a shot, might be worth a try. It could still be a bit louder, but it went from unusable to workable.

change rom
I would try a different rom, mean rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466362
is an awsome rom and use chads kernal qualcom 1a will allow you to use beats which can help get youur media volume higher and cleaner. But watch your speaker like always if you think its pushing to hard it probly is.
Is there a setting in your rom to boost the volume? My old desire had that.
weird. i have leedroid on mine and it's perfect.
my mate got an evo 3d, i s-off'ed it etc and restored my nandroid and deleted what he didn't want etc....and his is nearly silent. Brand new phone so i doubt it's a blown speaker. Very odd.

Pandora pop noise.

The pop noise is back on Pandora anyone else experience this? I remember this was an issue on OG EVO.

No issues here,sounds fine on both phone speaker and thru headphones.Pandora version 1.6
OP I am having the same issue. Not sure why or if there is a fix but I was going crazy trying to figure out why the popping noise was happening. After testing diff headphones and audio sources I only had popping noise with Pandora
Yep same here. It's a pandora streaming thing.
Sent from my EVO LTE
Yeah noticed only on headphones its like a streaming tick this happened before on my other evos and wonder if Pandora needs an update, seems worse on high quality.

Thanks for the thread. I was using pandora in my car since my OG Evo and heard the popping noises as well. I attributed it to a problem with the bluetooth connection to my deck, a wiring problem, or just crappy car speakers. Now I know why.

Anyway to make ringtone play through headphones...

I was wondering if theres anyway to make this phone ring through the head phone jack when I have them hooked up. Right now whenever this phone is hooked up to my radio, and I get a call, I dont hear it because the ringtone plays through the phone instead of the radio....

I have three G3's and a N2 and they all do this.
I have never seen a way to fix it. It doesn't really bother me anymore, but at my old job when I listened to streaming audio all day it really pissed me off......
Mine actually play through both the headphones AND the phone, so I guess thats a little different problem but it sucked at work when I didn't want other people thinking all I did was text all day...LOL

My problem is that when my boss calls me at work, I don't hear it because I'm working. That's one of the reasons I hook my phone up to my radio. I'm sure there's a mod or app out there, I just haven't found it yet.

I have not personally tested this, but Soundabout Pro from the Play Store is the app that I have seen recommended to solve audio routing issues on S3 and Note 2.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...nk.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix.pro&hl=en
in the market place there is an app called "soundabout" has tons of features can even force the media player to play through the mono blue tooth signal.
there is a free version but you'll need the paid version to do what you are wanting to do I believe.

Headphone Squeal

Does anyone have a rez WITHOUT the headphone/aux jack squeal? I have it and it's extremely annoying.

You don't hear any popping, or a noise of any kind when you use the aux port but don't have audio playing?
Never had any squealing or popping, and I've had 4 different Rezounds.
Edit: unless you're taking about the staticy or hissing sound that you get with no sound coming out, that's been that way on every Android phone I've ever had.

Just spoke to vzw, they're sending me a replacement. On a side note, I've spoken to vzw regarding replacements a billion times (ranging from eris, to fascinate, to inc 2, eris, centro, etc.) and this was the single coolest rep I've spoken to
Get over it. Every Rezound does it.
I don't usually plug in my headphones and listen to nothing, so I've never heard the squealing or hissing of android silence.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I only get it when using it as an aux out. To me, it sounds like the ground floats when it's not outputting audio, so anything powered gets it while anything unpowered wouldn't be effected.

rezound replacement number 2 had this. sent it back and havent had this problem yet.
3 different Rezounds and they all have it, it's annoying when I'm listening to music at work where the volume is very low. At low volumes it does diminish the audio fidelity. I also here it if on a call using the wired headset.
