maybe its just me but it seems as though all that nasty noise associated with using the 3.5mm jack to external source has all but disappeared with the latest LF6 release. I'm on FJ and have yet to hear anything like I used to on GB. Anyone else see this improvement or am I just losing my hearing with old age?

You just gave me a reason to upgrade to LF6 , I'll test and post if I notice any difference.
The headphone hiss is gone for me with the stock ICS. It sure is nice to be able to listen to music at work again. I don't know how much of a difference it really makes, but I installed this too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752559 and everything is working great.
Still there in the Samsung Dock with the Line In. Its not noticeable with music playing through the phone.
Well I guess I spoke too soon. It's still there but alot less. It's tolerable now but still disappointing. Maybe its just my audio set up in the car... Oh well.

Make sure you don't have loudness cranked up to much on your car settongs or something similar to "gain" that usally makes my hissing noise go away.. don't want to over kill the volume spectrum.. I usally leave media volume like 90% on phone and use my volume crank on the other side?
Yeah. If I leave volume low on phone and then amp it up, then I get all sorts of noise. If I do the opposite, the noise isn't as bad as it was.

You could always get a bluetooth speakerphone with FM Modulator and transmit your music onto an availble FM station. Like a Plantronics K100. I used one until I put an aftermarket radio in my car. Worked well and broadcasted my callers audio over my speakers!

So I have been looking through the forums and havent been able to find anything on this issue yet. the speaker is really loud on this phone and I like that ans sounds great when playing pandora and stuff but on games and some other programs there is extreme static, you cant hear it all that much when you have the volume up and the phone far away from your ears, but if you put the phone closer you will hear a lot of feedback it sounds like and tons of static I was just wondering if this was normal and other people were having this issue as well or if it was just me. Also if there is a way to fix this and someone knows and help would be appreciated.

Having been around Motorola for 15 years now, they've always had some of the best speakers and earpieces in their phones. I'm not personally saying other models are bad or anything of the sort, but when I open up a Moto phone, and see those HUGE round familiar speakers, I just know Moto took the time to put some awesome hardware in here.
You've got to remember, Motorola was (and still is) a company that produced and manufactured walkie talkie's from long ago, the audio needed to be heard and that still stands up today. I expected nothing less.
And not only that but the drivers on the circuit board that run that audio are amazing. Case in point, I personally have a headphone amplifier hooked up to my Photon, and it drives and feeds that audio into that amp very well, and sounds crisp, clear, and amazing through it and a $200 pair of headphones I got on sale. Even w/o the amp, listening to podcasts sounds very clear compared to other phone models I've done this with.
If any phone could ever replace a stand alone mp3 player, it would be a Motorola. I'd say it's closer to Cowon quality audio, and anyone who's an audiophile knows Cowon is a top dog in that industry for best sounding audio.
I agree on music and things the audio is great but like CNET TV app you tube and some others I hear the hiss maybe it is just poor audio from the apps them selves oh well not that big a deal just seeing if anybody else was noticing it.

Mine sounds really pretty good, but I have to have it halfway before I really hear anything. At full it is OK, but I think it should be louder. Is there a setting somewhere? Does anyone else think it could be louder still?
So I finally found the answer to my problem it was the audio effects that are under the sound menu that was causing the static it was being over amplified, turning it of made it quieter but still sounded great with no static.

I found enabling HAC (hearing aid compatibility) in call settings caused static when I went to speaker and would not go away until I ended the call.
It was bad as I like speaker phone.
Disabling HAC solved the problem.
When I'm in my car listening to music through my note I'm always having a problem with getting the most out of my car speakers
For example: (I have equalizers btw) ill dim the volume on the phone but raise the car volume
Sometimes its better or worse when you raise the phone volume all the way and handle it wig the car speakers
Although the lower the phone volume he more, "clear" from the speakers -but not as loud

Just have a stock radio in car. No amps or anything but the stock is a decent unit for my needs. I turn the phone about 90% up then adjust from the car unit. Sound is always good for me. I'd say experiment and see what works for you. Don't forget to try an equalizer on and off from the phone. It's really a personal taste thing in my view.

In this case your phone is essentially a pure amp while your head unit is the power amp. Even at Max volume, your phone shouldn't be distorting the volume output. You want it all the way or nearly all the way up to allow as much headroom as possible for your power amp. You also don't want to re eq an eqd signal. Decide whether you like your phones or your stereos eq better, and set the other flat. You'll almost always have to tweak a bit further as line in mp3 will have different sound characteristics as a CD or the radio. Also, for the love of God, don't use 128kbps songs like most people.

The one thing I'm trying to figure out is engine noise.
Anyone else getting that or even know what I'm talking about?
if I have my phone plugged into my via head phone jack and nothing is playing on it, you hear a high pitch noise that fluctuates according to the rpms of the engine.
Would be awesome if there was an app to white noise it out or something, haven't checked though.

Do a search on 'inline noise suppressor'. This might help. You could also look at moving the radio's ground wire to a different location and might solve your noise.

After looking that up, I have determined that is not the solution for me. I'm dealing with a factory, stock car aux setup, it shouldn't be giving me problems and as a matter of fact my prior iPhone 3g didn't have this problem at all. I believe this happens with two cars that I've used it in, so while it is related to the car and specifically the engine's RPMs, I believe this can be fixed via the phone for the following reason:
When I push the back button on the phone while it's plugged in it will briefly silence the noise, also when I play Pandora the noise only appears between songs, and no it's not still there being covered up, I would be able to distinguish it in the music.
Anyway, hope someone had another fix for this. Could potentially be a hot selling app if you could figure it out.

what else has changed besides the phone? the charger perhaps? where do you keep your phone? do you keep your phone on it's charger while you listen to it via your stereo?
I run a satilite radio in my truck that runs through an aux line I installed and I get engine noise for a couple of reasons. My aux line isn't heavy duty and sits next to my firewall and effected by the EMI of my engine. The power cable isn't shielded and doesn't have any in line suppression so it's effect from the truck alternator, no matter how clean the signal is, varries as your engine's RPMs move. I run into the same issues with my phone, all of this is in a Sierra Denali truck with a Bose system and also occurrs in my BMW. So no matter how much you paid for a vehicle, it still can be a factor.
So try an inline noise suppressor, they're like $10 at radio shack and if it doesn't work take it back.
You'd be surprised of the effects electricity and EMI will do to your audio.

I have tried every adjustment I could but no dice. It just sounds distorted no matter what I do. Do u think I have a defective one? Like I said my epic would rock and sounded so good so u would think this phone being the 3rd generation it would be better in sound quality also. I have tried the stock player to and it sounds worse.

Try the app from the play store called Volume+. I've used it only to modify the external speaker for better quality on other devices, but there are options to modify sound for the in call speaker & headset also. You'll want to select headset obviously as it just refers to audio out via the 3.5mm jack. I hope this helps you & your able to adjust the audio profile for better quality, as I've had success with this app, but I haven't used it on the gs3 yet?
I'll give that a try. I am also getting a buzzing at the beginning and around the
Middle of songs to. It's about a 1-2 s3 one buzz
Edit: just looked it up. Doesn't work on the Sprint version of the GS3 yet.

Ok, well there are other apps if you google search or search the play store & also look at the roms in your dev section & I will almost guarantee one of them has dsp manager or some sort of audio equalizer app included.
Now the buzzing noise is 95% one of two things. 1) The auxiliary outlet in your car stereo has an issue or it just gets a poor connection, this can happen sometimes in lower end after market head units or for other various reasons I'm sure.2) The auxiliary cable your using is causing it because of a short or because cheaper cables just get a ****ty connection & thus provide ****ty audio quality. Try buying a more expensive one and give it a shot as soon as you get to the parking lot, if the problem persists then you can walk right back in & tell them its not what you needed & get a refund. 3) Your phone has a bad 3.5mm jack. (This is possible, but probably the least likely)
Please report back what your results are after trying these few possible solutions. I think you'll have a viable fix here soon. I hope this helps out.
It's not a cheap deck lol it's Pioneer. The buzzing does it with the stock head phones and my after market jvc earbuds.
If I turn the volume up (headphones) halfway it's starts to sound distorted. With my epic I could rock the volume the whole way up with out any distortion.
I'm starting to wonder if it's the Jack. It's bad lol

Re: Beats
It takes upgraded speakers to withstand the amp, IME. I have a laptop with 6 speakers and a sub inside and the amp inside the laptop even pushes them to the edge sometimes. I've actually come close to blowing out some cheap skullcandy over the ear headphones
I have also found that some music sounds a lot better with Beats turned off (although the amp still has a part in that).
Sorry, but Beats Audio over the built in speaker is totally pointless. It will not make a blind bit of difference. I'd recommend one of these and at least then you wiill get decent sound if portability is a problem.

I used Klipsch Image one and Klipsch M40's when I had my One X and would always, I mean always, turn off the equalizer because it would just make the sound muddy and drown out the speakers with bass. From what I understand, this is really just a software equalizer for the headphones.
Still never understood how audio quality and Dr. Dre = Monster branded Beats by Dre.

Unlike the One X, this has upgraded hardware too.
From HTC's press release:
Authentic Sound
The DROID DNA by HTC has a unique, 2.55-volt, built-in headset amplifier and dedicated amp for the external rear-speaker to help boost the audio signal to deliver crystal clear sound with less distortion, even at maximum volume. The combination of amplified hardware and the rich, authentic, studio-quality sound of Beats Audio™ allows music to be heard the way the artist intended, and enhances the sound quality while playing games or watching video.

Not that it's necessarily a big deal. All speakers are connected to an amplifier. It could be a 1 watt amp or a 2,000 but all speakers need a decent amount of juice to make power them, relative to other components.

It has an amp for the speakers, it just doesnt have a "beats" eq on it, which would be pointless.

I remember using the display DNA and that thing was loud now that I have one not nowhere near as loud

I'm getting this also on my new DNA . The thing is , it's a problem because you can't change the settings even with beats headphones in . I have four different types and the settings are not accessible with any of them plugged in, it still says the same thing, not accessible through speaker when the headphones are plugged in so something is messed up. If you can't change the beats settings with beats plugged in then what's the point of even having the freaking setting ? It's really annoying.

Sounds like something is borked hardware wise on your phone.

I looked and didn't see anything about this, so forgive me if it's been posted already.
I noticed, like a lot of people, the annoying humming that this phone makes when you listen to music (for me most apparent when I have it hooked to my car stereo) but I was listening to music with a portable speaker, speaker connected to my LAPTOP (not the phone), and I moved the phone close to where the 3.5mm plugs into the laptop, and I heard the same buzzing sound. 0__0 ... So I think the humming is coming from some one of the wireless radios.. not sure which one, but after a few seconds, it wouldn't hum anymore, which means the radio must have shut off...
Again, forgive me if this is already known information, but if it isn't ... this may help some people, maybe the GPS radio causes the noise?? or Wifi??

yeah its the 4G LTE radio. it makes your speakers make weird crazy signal noises when it's too close, too, just like the old GSM flip phones did back in the day

Yep found that out on day one. Switch to wi-fi or turn off data and all will be well. If you're streaming in the car, I barely notice it with the music turned up. Droid Charge didn't have this problem, but it also didn't have an amplified headphone jack. I had to turn my car radio up way higher than my iPod with that phone, not the case with this one.

You've got to be kidding me... That is nuts, and that buzzing drives me absolutely CRAZY! I noticed something that with my Beats over ears, every time I touched the screen the buzzing would start, couple seconds it would go away. I put the phone into airplane mode and presto, all the buzzing was gone! Verizon HAS to do something about this, it makes the headphone jack virtual unusable!
HTC Is Aware Now
So after getting my second device from Verizon with the same issue I was finally transfered over to HTC. After an hour conversation and then some back and forth emails HTC is now aware! Very exciting as this issue has been bugging me for a while. They have now replicated the issue and are going to begin work on a fix!
Email From HTC said:
Thank you for the information. Unfortunately, it did not take me long to test the issue and replicate it with my personal device. I use in-ear ear buds and will be forwarding this to our corporate office in the morning so that we may complete some additional testing on the team and hopefully find a permanent resolution. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention.

Though not sure how exactly they could fix this without a hardware change. Rezound had same issue.

Anyone try a Ferrite Split Core? Not sure if it would help but if you have one sitting around it would be worth a try. Just wrap your audio cable through it a few times, worth a shot. Maybe two one at each end. See attached image.
I've run into this myself, however.....the humming does go away on it's own after a few seconds even when I'm downloading a large file over LTE....that tells me that while it still may be a hardware issue, they likely have filters in place that the software isn't triggering in a timely fashion. So it's possible it could be fixed in software.

It definitely did. Both this phone and my Charge make my computer speakers buzz.

Did you ever hear anything more on this? I listen using quite sensitive molded ear buds, and am considering returning the phone. What good is an expensive media device that sounds like a lumber mill?

If you're using expensive IEMs, why are you driving them with the built-in amp? You need to use an external amp and use a player like Neutron MP to line-out to it.

Thank you! I have considered picking up an external USB DAC. Can you confirm that the stock ROM will support it, and are there compatibility concerns with specific DACs? I'm not an audio engineer any more, so I can't justify spending much...

The E17 is a great USB DAC, if that's too expensive, the E7 is a good alternative. You can use an OTG cable and do USB audio, or line out using Neutron. :good:

I turn off sync when I listen to music and it does the trick. But I also keep sync turned off when I'm not on WiFi so its not really a big deal.

It's not the LTE radio causing it. LTE does not use TDMA (time division multiple access, as opposed to CDMA) as in traditional GSM. It uses a different form of signal transmission called OFDMA (orthogonal frequency division multiple access) which is continuous transmission like CDMA, which does not make speakers buzz. Most of the cause of this is the circuit being closely tuned with the flow of power in and out of the battery. If you plug in the phone to charge while using the headphone jack, it should be even louder and more apparent.
A quick fix for this is to put whatever you're using through a noise filter. This one is only $10 on amazon and is better for those listening through speakers rather than headphones. As for me, I don't really hear it much on my phone unless its plugged in, in which this little filter fixes the issue.

Really, then how come whenever I switch to 4g i get buzz, but while on 3g or WiFi it doesn't buzz. And on top of that HTC has said its the 4g antenna causing it.

Coincidence? I've never gotten any buzz, and I'm always on 4G.
Not happening here on stock. I use headset for about 3 hours a day. Best sound yet and i'm a picky listener with only high quality headsets. My Bose OE2 would have picked up any noise.
a little off topic... I havent tried to replicate this on my DNA yet but my iPhone 5 and everyone iPhone I've had since '07 (I've had them all) have this buzzing noise in the car when I have them playing through the aux jack AND charging simultaneously. when I unplug the charger, noise is gone...
