I have had this problem with the mic volume, while in-call, i sounded too soft on the other line. Barely audible at times. The microphone records great in other apps, but audio gets distorted when capturing video (for example at a live concert), however it is the least of my concern. I used to run bionix 1.3.1 then ran cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1 and now im running Slim ICS 2.8.
I really want to resolve this issue, I have perused through countless threads and have found no solution. Could this be an issue with the kernel? I honestly have no clue what to do. Help me pls! thanks in advance.
I figured it out! So if anyone else has this issue I hope this may do the trick if its relevant.
Since DSP Manager is installed on my phone I figured the answer may lie in there. And.. it did! It was the tuned audio clock setting, it was 'checked' , even though it says it helps with the sound (which is why I linda ignored it before) but turning it off drastically changed my sound when in call. Now I can be Howard clearer. Hope if anyone has this issue it helps or possibly have a similar setting you can set off that says it "helps with the sound"

Is anyone successfully using Fring on a Vibrant? I have a rev 2 ffc installed, Bi-Winning V2 and Fring used to work pretty well. I can't say exactly when, but sometime in the last month or so it started having problems with mic volume. I make a test call, and I can hear myself, but just barely. People I call complain about being barely able to hear me. The camera works fine.
I see that some people are saying that Fring is working with CM7. I was wondering if there are any other roms that Fring might be working well with? Or if anyone has any idea how to adjust the mic input? Thanks!
Funny you should ask that I was starting to think I was going crazy. My mic volume was fine before but I flash new roms a lot and don't really check if the mic volume is working properly. But for some reason I am having the same issues... camera works fine but mic volume is really low. I don't remember which rom I had that had the mic sound working properly and can't seem to find one that does.
Strangely enough, using the voice recorder records my voice at the expected volume. I started to think my phone got busted somehow. I tried increasing mic sensitivity on the voodoo sound app but that doesn't work either.
Maybe it's a fring issue. I'll try another video chat app and report back if I find something else.
Currently I am running Bi-Winning v3.
Well, I guess that answers the question as to whether I should update to Bi-Winning v 3.0 to solve the problem.
I beleive this is a Fring thing. I've gone so far as to pull and older version of Fring out of an old Titanium backup and installed that apk. (v 2.4.4.2). The older version seems to work better, although the mic volume is still not great. I think that I would have viewed it as OK in the past, though.
If you'd like to try the older apk, let me know and I'll post it somewhere.
Ok loving having android on this thing one bug I have on mine is when I'm playing any sort of music be it pandora g-music or on board files, as soon as the screen shuts off it gets static sounding and choppy with weird clicks, was wondering if others have this same issue
yep i noticed the same
Same here. It's not awful but annoying enough!
I get the same problem but only on webos . Have to full reboot to resolve. Not sure if this is a 3.04 bug, cause this never happened to me on 3.02 . Anyone else still seeing this issue?

Have not booted into webos since I have ported android on this thing, weird tho tthat your getting this issue in webos, maybe its a hardware issue
Same problem here. I find most instances after turning the screen back on a few times the static seems to stop.
i have the same issue but only when running cm7. my webos works perfectly. most times if i am gonne be running music i just switch over to webos.
This seems to happen when the volume hits a certain point on the higher end. If you volume down a little bit, it goes away.
In my case, it was DSP Manager. I had enabled eq and bass boost which was causing the crackling and choppy sounds. I disabled eq and bass boost on speaker, headset and bluetooth and perfect sound now.
I'm running 2.1 alpha and WebOS was 3.04.
I had the same issue and changing the CPU profile in CM settings sorted it.
SETTINGS/CM SETTINGS/PERFORMANCE/CPU settings; Ondemantcl works for me.
I use the CM10 from Droid Basement and I have the following problems with audio:
1- When using headphones, minimum volume is too loud. When I increase the volume, it goes up only a few steps, and then stays on the same level until maximum volume on the slider.
2- When recording videos with the camera, only left channel of audio is recorded. It probably should merge both left and right since it's mono.
Anyone else having those problems? I work with audio and video a lot and this is a very annoying problem present since the first version I installed of this CM10.
I use P7500.
The first problem is an all around JB bug I think. I had it on AOSP, AOKP, and CM on my s2.

as for recording, i havent experienced it.
******POTENTIAL WORKAROUND*******
you might want to try the A1 kernel as it includes VooDoo sound. that might work..
1. make sure you get the cm version. it works well for most but i cant get it work.... it freezes me up as soon as my homescreen loads. if you wanna try it.......
2.make sure you have pershoots 11/19 kernel on your sd card so you can flash back if you run into the same problem...
A1 Kernel READ CAREFULLY---- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833136
Pershoots 3.1.10 (11/19) Kernel ---- http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2906
good luck...report back =)
I am having the same issue. I tried installing beats audio, but it didn't change the volume problem, it did make the sound a little better though. I am hoping this issue is fixed in a later version of cm10.
Also, I am having an issue (i posted it in the forum with no response) of my lockscreen being stuck in landscape mode, even when auto rotate is on. Does anyone else have this same issue?

This has already been fixed in cm10.1 for tab 10.1 and is included in the nightlies.
My problem isn't the same as the OP, but title is the same: CM10 audio problems.
I would absolutely LOVE to use this ROM. I've tried cyanogen on many occasions and been very impressed. My only downfall with CM9 and CM10 was the audio. On CM9, my headphone volume would always reset to a low volume when a new song played. The only way I could find to fix this was via the DSP manager wm989 tab (or something similar) and changing the amplifier level, then changing it back. I never followed up to see if others were having the same problems, so I'm sure it is an issue that was already resolved. I eventually dumped the ROM for another because of the problem, BUT....I digress.
My current problem is on CM10. I love the clean look, I love the speed, the customization....EVERYTHING.....except the audio. I just noticed it a bit earlier while trying to play Youtube videos; the speaker volume was extremely low. I don't see any amplifier settings on the speaker tab of DSP manager. I have audio manager / Hide it pro installed, but all those volumes are at max. I went so far as to remove DSP manager from the system/app folder....but that did nothing useful that I can tell (aside from giving trebuchet a forced close). I installed Beats Audio, but that didn't help. I'm at a loss, and freely admit that I'm struggling to figure out how to resolve this. Would someone please assist? I'll gladly post logs if necessary.....just tell me how to post them. I really want this ROM to work, because it is almost perfect aside from this problem.
EDIT: FIXED
Mod, please delete this thread

Hi
I'm using Carbon ROM 0913 Nightly, and there's a weird popping sound at the few seconds of every song I listen to, and some distortions (too much bass).
I've disabled DSP Manager's settings, but it won't work, it stays the same.
Also, the PhotoSphere and Panorama seems to not be able to focus (sometimes it works, at random)
Any help on both issues?
Thanks! :cyclops:

I see your just getting started here but reading is a very important. help yourself first.
there is another post, only 2 threads down, with regards to your picture problems. eve the developer of Carbon has posted in there. as far as the sound goes, well, that really seems to vary depending on what ROM you are on. I have ran many different ROM's and had various different sound or music qualities. I have not heard music on the CARBON ROM. unfortunately my phone does not like that one. don't know why, but it goes to show how every phone is a bit different.
you could try either a different player or apply a different sound modification. I don't know whether its the speaker in phone your getting. I get bad sound from or headphones. it is a tiny little speaker in phone and at some point it is going to faulter. when I run the VIPER sound mod I get crackle too.
good luck

Try AC!D sound mod for Samsung devices DSP manager is pretty bad for the sound of your device in my opinion. Thier EQ was making my music really crappy until I find this

Hi,
I have a HTC One X+ and have tried a couple of different custom ROMS:
Carbon ROM 4.4.2
Carbon ROM 4.3.1
The roms run really well, the only problem i'm having is that when I am calling people, they hear an echo and the sound is muffled and really bad quality..
I can hear the caller perfectly though, all the sound issues are only heard by the caller?
I have searched and searched on Google and these XDA forums but still haven't been able to find a solution to this problem..
I thought it might have been the latest 4.4.2 rom so I downgraded to the 4.3.1 however the caller still receives really bad audio / echoing..
Has anyone got the same problem? and more importantly how can this be fixed?
It seems so weird that it's only on the receiver's end of the call that the sound issues occur, i've read about a noise suppression option but can't find it anywhere?
This is just using the phone, no bluetooth headset / speakerphone.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam
My friend told me about a similar issue he had on his phone (not HTC). He said that this happened after he flashed a beta kernel which was unstable.
thanks for your reply, I've now installed the latest Cyanogenmod rom and even though there still is a bit of an echo on the receiver's end in calls it's not half as bad as it was.
I'll maybe try a different kernel, cheers
