Hey so I recently went from Synergy (old version) to Viper Rom.
And well, the sound isn't loud anymore. After doing DSPmanager + other Equalizers, it caps off and starts getting softer as if Loudness Compensation is on.
I flashed Anthrax, but it didn't do the trick.
Any kernels or roms with everything that can be loud like Synergy? The only reason I don't go back to synergy is because it needs to be updated and it isn't.
I would prefer a kernel fix... but I can't seem to find anything like it.
Or any other fix to make phone louder?
Thanks.
I know synergy is gettin updated to 2.17 also eternity is updated to 2.17 the 3.0 version . My sound seems great on eternity r77.

Oh okay thanks.
By any chance do you play music in your car?
That's the only way I noticed that my music isn't as loud as before. I think I'll have to go back to Synergy unless there's a kernel fix or something.
Volume+, for example, says to have MIUI or Cyanogen because stock kernels/roms don't do the trick. Anyone know why?
last week i tried rockos beats audio files and now my music sounds like **** in my car.. i know it may be the speakers. they are just stock speakers. i can tell a difference in bass but the treble sounds soooooo bad. i have spent forever messing with phone equalizer settings and car stereo settings. i found a few things that worked but i had to pretty much downgrade the quality of output through the stereo just to listen to music. using headphones and computer speakers the beats sound amazing. but through *my* car.. not so good.
my question is.. how do i remove the zip files i flashed over. would removing the lib files manually cause some issues? what would be the best way of removing these demon files?

Did a backup before you flashed Beats?
You could fix the problem easy white a restore.

yea i was afraid of that.. i did not do a backup before i flashed the beats files. that was my biggest mistake. but later on tonight im going to mess around with these files and see if i cant either make them respond better with the phone or figure out a way to remove them and still preserve the state of my phone lol. ive noticed on some devices on XDA some devs have done work on the beats audio to work better on their specific model. were these files you posted straight ports or modified?
I found this:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/352112-beats-audio-on-any-gingerbread-rom/
but I couldn't flash it. If I open the zip I see the files. Too lazy to copy them 1 by 1 right now.
I've searched for this problem, found some stuff that is close but I haven't been able to find it exactly.
Speakerphone and built-in microphone work fine.
But when I use my headset (Bose MIE2), the microphone fades in and out when I am on a call. People say it will sound fine and then start to sound "tinny" or like I'm "in a can". Seems like this happens when I stop talking and they speak and the background noise becomes louder to the caller. And it doesn't last. It fades in and out, several times on a call.
This headset worked fine on stock AT&T Gingerbread.
About two months ago, I decided to root my phone for the first time and install a modded ROM. So I flashed CM7. Headphone mic worked fine on CM7.
Bose microphone was also working fine on CM9 - one of the early release candidates.
At that point, flashing became easy so I started on the nightlies (I'm sounding like an addict, aren't I? I feel like one!!!).
Then I found my dream flasher/pusher, Task! I've been on AOKP ROM (currently up to date on the 5.1.2012 release) ever since. Awesome ROM, if you haven't tried it.
Still having the headphone mic issue though.
I've wiped fully several times (yes, I read every post in your thread, Task), trying to clear this up.
I also wondered if the headphones where jacked so I returned them to Bose and the new pair is presenting the same issue.
I have read all about the built-in mic swapping issues with the different kernels.
I've tried NEAK and Siyah and I'm careful to be sure I have the mic swapping versions for AOKP/CM. My phone does not like NEAK at all. Loves Siyah - getting fantastic battery life (14 hours today, 27% screen time and WiFi on all day with 20% battery remaining) and responsive. I'm currently on the latest Siyah ICS [v3.2rc1] with UC 200 to 1000, lulz/vr only. It is also awesome, thanks, Ktoonsez!
I'm wondering if that mic swapping on the phone has anything to do with the mic on the headset.
Also, is there anything else I can check to help troubleshoot this in more detail?
Finally, are there any controls for headphone mics or even microphone settings in ROM Control or anywhere else that can be adjusted?
Thanks for your help in advance!
The NEAK kernel only has one choice for Tasks rom, no need to pick between mic swap.

There's your problem. You have to use the AOSP version bro.

I'm wishing it was that simple. On NEAK, I've tried the AOSP - still have the issue. My phone freezes too often on that kernel.
On Siyah, I get the mic swap version for AOKP/CM - still having the issue.
The latest Siyah runs like a beast and gets fantastic battery, just has the fading issue.

Hi .. I have an CDMA Evo 3D with the mic built inside broken/disfunctional. I have to use a headsets to talk on my phone till I get it fix.
Problem is I have BEATs earbud w/o mic that I use with sense rom but it works for talking. When I flash over to JB rom or Sense 4.0/4.1 . When making calls the person won't hear me even with the headsets on..
I'm aware that the headsets doesn't have a Mic but it worked on Sense roms , wondering why would it stop working on JB & and other Roms ?.

How in the world do headphones without a microphone work as a microphone?!?
Some other witchcraft is going on here. Maybe the headphones being plugged in causes the broken microphone to work?
This certainly is strange. How can earphones w/o mic enable you to use a mic that is busted
All beats earphones have built in mic AFAIK. In that case its probably because the sense roms have beats support and the others dont

Makes sense Eminem. So maybe the headphones have a hidden built in microphone that the op didn't see. That does seem to be the only plausible explanation. Or Halloween witchcraft.
i just checked beatsbydre site and all 4 earphones have built-in mic

I see thanks for finding that out for me . But the question is why wouldn't it work on ASOP roms or JB roms? It does work for me on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640134 which does support beats audio...So I'm guessing what was stated is true, It works for me because the Rom has beats supported, and the others don't now that I think of it.
You could try to install something like Beats Installer from the store or Awesome Beats from this site. They bring Beats to AOSP ROMs (or something like Beats).
Thanks so much for the advice!! I downloaded the installer on Play Store and now it works well with MIUI JB ROM

Glad it worked! Also thanks for posting that it worked so someone who searches can try your solution if they have a similar problem.
Frankly it's poor, call is fine, but the media I get distortion and crackling, I've heard others talk about it, but no one had mentioned a fix. Is anyone aware of a resolution, it's quite aggravating. There was a file I could edit on my captivate back in the day that upped the transmission rate that took care of it. Is there something similar that could be done here?

That's Interesting. I don't have any problems with the bluetooth audio streaming quality. Sure, nothing beats an aux cable quality wise, but it's always sounded pretty good to my ears. I consider myself a little bit of an audiophile too.
I notice it mostly in my car, but I also bought backbeat go ear buds today, and it really just didn't sound right, it's not in your face like holy cow why does his voice sound like that, it's more like crackling in the highs, I don't get it through aux though, I would have thought it was my phone, but I had seen it mentioned a couple other places

alpine type-r interiors and sub, alpine bt head unit, everything is powered by alpine v-power amps, and I gotta say, I hear the distortion pretty clearly over bt. My old inspsire 4G running cm7 sounded AMAZING over bt. I hope someone finds away to bump up the clarity some. devs? Lol
So I think it's safe to say, you like alpine ha ha, but seriously though, thanks for the +1, didn't want people to think I was just crazy or something.

You guys have tried this fix as stated in the General HOX+ Q&A?
Or it is a different issue?
IIRC that was the first mod I flashed for this phone, and while it helped 10 fold with the call quality, it did little to nothing for media and other audio.
i got the answer you're looking for...
i noticed this problem the first time i used my hox+ with my car stereo. same problem...bt calls are ok, but if you are listen to music, you hear ugly distortion in the highs...the sound isn't clear and the stereo image is bad.
after doing some research i found out that it has to do with the bluetooth bitpool settings. but what can you do against it: maxween did a bluetooth fix for me, which worked perfectly. it is implemented in the newest builds of his AOKP roms, and in the newest versions of Liors cm 10.1 roms.
so you can use this fix in every aosp rom.
unfortunently, there isn't a fix for stock-, and sense rom's jet. i've made a demand to mike1986 if he can implent it in his android revolution hd 6.5 rom, but it's not done atm.
so if you want to listen to some fine bt music quality (it sounds awesome in my stereo now btw.), you have to install the actual aokp or cm 10.1 rom...otherwise you have to wait for a sense fix.
ps: we've connected the brandnew htc on from my friend in my car stereo. same issue! looks like htc is doing this intentionally to sell more of the aptx care stereo adapters and beats accessoiries with the aptx codec...
I also have this problem. It annoys the hell out of me because I can ALWAYS hear it. Maybe i'm too sensitive. I don't know. Either way, I'm going to see if the Elegancia ROM can get the fix implemented.
Thanks for letting us know there is a fix.
The only way i have found to lessen the distortion is turn the media volume on the phone down to at least 3/4 and use the vehicle/Home stereo receiver to control the volume increase needed. It helps a lot, but a true fix is really needed
Indeed, and check to see if your receiver or head unit has a secondary volume control for each input. My alpine for instance, allows me to tweak the volumes for each specific input (AUX, HD radio, Bluethooth, CD) from a rang of -5db to +5. IF i set it anything above 0 it sounds like crap. Hope this helps some.
if the connection's fine, you should not have to turn down the volume. the sound quality is even better when the bt output vol is on max on your phone. on the other devices, i would recommend an input of 0db, if you are going above it, you have the risk of digital distortion, and this is sounding really ugly.
i'll post a link from maxween later so if any developer of a sense custom rom could do a fix would it be awesome
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39632#c151
here is a thread about this issue, i also found a german page from a guy which used this fix for his htc one and it worked.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880298http://
i tried it out on my one x+ but unforunently it didn't work...so if some developer could make this "audio.a2dp.default.so" fix working on the hox+ (sense rom's) it would be awesome...
Thanks for all your research and time mr_breaks. I am hoping we can get a fix for this issue.
Using an aux audio cable is not a big deal but listening through BT is so much easier and allows me to control my music from my car controls. I like that functionality.
same here. i don't like to plug in the cable everytime and the control over my car is much confortable and safer.
btw: with the patch the bt sound is better than with cable
imo... of course it depends on the car unit, but i had very good results with my system and my hox+...

So did you fix it or not? I thought you said you tried fixing the bitrate settings but it didn't work.
If I can change the settings myself, i'd like to try it if you could guide me.
not yet. there is no way to change the bitpool manually, it has to be done in the file called "audio.a2dp.default.so".
i'm waiting for support form the developers, cause i don't have the know-how to do a fix by myself. ..."i would, if i could"

well as you know we don't have source for the exact version sense is using
if a version compiled from 4.1.2 is working must be tested
I can provide a version later
