BUMP THIS BUMP BUMP BUMP or whatever it is you do to agree with this, cause i'm having this problem too

There is a thread around here somewhere on this (I think it's mentioned in the CM10.1 nightly thread?)
The solution that seems to work is you fire up the YouTube app and fiddle with the volume there (try lowering it, then raising it to the max volume). I have no idea why this works... But it did the trick for me. I sometimes have to redo this after installing a new nightly.

[Q] CM7 Sound?

Hey guys I'm using CM7 7/17 update and I'd like to know if there's any work arounds or fixes for low in-call volume? Or for that matter if anyone else is having an issue with low incall volume?

What end of the volume are you referring to? People that cannot hear you or you cannot hear them.
I know that in the Voodoo Sound setting if you have the "Hi-Fi record" setting ticked people will have a hard time hearing you.
Best of luck.
I'm having trouble hearing people, as far as I know they can hear me easily

Fair enough. I do believe this is a known issue in the kernel of CM7 (or moreover any AOSP ROM for our phone) right now.
I personally do not have a problem hearing people but that just may be due to my hearing I don't know.
I do know that Glitch is beta testing the next version of his kernel with a "volume stuff".

pm glitch and ask for beta access, tell him why you're a good candidate. only fixes are screen UV, volume stuff, some performance things etc., nothing major.

While I didn't see it specifically stated that it is the sound problem you are referring to many in the thread have hope that this is in fact what he is referring to.
You can try to PM him and tell him why you would be a good candidate for beta testing if you want to give it a shot.
I can confirm that I also have low volume. I think I read somewhere that it was a flaw with the kernel source that is currently available for our devices.

CM7.1 speakerphone echo?

Hi all,
maybe someone can help, i have been using the cyanogenmod 7.1 for the last couple of days and my only bug so far is that whenever im on a call, where im using the speakerphone, the other person complains of hearing themselves, like echoing. I am running cm7.1 with glitch v12 beta, and ed05 radio. Anyone experiencing the same and have a fix? or anyone else running cm7.1 without the issue (please post kernal and radio used)?
i really like the rom and would have to hate to downgrade but i really need the speakerphone. Thanks in advance for any help guys!
Can anyone help or offer a suggestion?

Nope. Known issue.
good day.
So nothing can be done? Can you give your opinion on a good stable Rom....

If you're hung up on speaker phone go stock. But Pool Party suits all my needs and wants out of a rom.
good day.
Does pool party have the same speakerphone issue?

Did u try to modify dsp settings on speaker?
Yup i tried everything, seems it's a known issue and can't be fixed until source code is released....

Ya. All Mtd roms have the issue...I brought it up to ssewx in the glitch kernel and he took the job.. He is currently working on Bluetooth echo, speakerphone echo, and 3.5 jack echo.. I believe he has made progress on Bluetooth echo so far.. Don't flock to him with questions off era's as it takes from his coding time, and you will be reminded of the first rule of cm.. NO CTA'S.. But if you like. Go thank the man

My girlfriend is addicted to speakerphone (annoying to me) but she also doesn't like the touchwiz interface. Big thumbs up to the devs putting time into fixing this issue, it'll make my life much easier once it's fixed.
So, so far there is no fix for this? Because I just went from Mik Shifted G to CM7 and it is SOOOO much better, but I have to take calls a lot and I literally can't hear the other person at all, so i had to go back to mik. Until theres a fix looks like I'm stuck.

I'm having the same problem on my AT&T Galaxy S3. Person on other end of line experienced terrible echo when I turn speakerphone on. I don't have the issue on my stock ICS ROM only on the custom JB ROM's I have tried: CM 10 M2, AOKP M1, AOCP newest build etc... I'm assuming all these ROM's share some common code. It's definitely the the case as I have tried taking it off and on with no effect. If you have found a solution., I'm all ears. Thanks!

Actually, a solution has been posted over and over and over again, more than a few times by myself. But, I also know that the forum search tool here doesn't work very well - I personally can't stand using it. Therefore, rather than grumble (much) about having to repeat myself again, here it is.
The speakerphone echo is caused by a combination of too high of a boost in the speakerphone call audio plus too high of a microphone gain in speakerphone mode. Both of these can be adjusted in a few places, but my preferred method is to use the Home Screen -> hit the menu button -> "System Settings" -> "Device Options" -> "In-Call Volume Controls" path.
Once you've got that open, adjust your "Speakerphone Volume" setting down to 1. Some people prefer 0. 2 will almost certainly cause echo. 3 will give you echo with severe distortion and probably melt your eardrums while causing a significant space-time anomaly in your fridge which will immediately consume all your beer, sending it back to 1955. You've been warned.
Next, adjust your speakerphone mic gain down some. I've found that 14 is a good value. Some may prefer slightly more or less. I've found that anything above 19 usually results in an echo. You'll just have to play with this one. If you have it above, say, 25, then you will almost certainly get some echo along with over-modulation, and the kernel will freak out and send an email to your parents and grandparents with your entire collection of nasty sheep porn attached. You've been warned.
Finally, make sure you hit OK, or all these settings will not be applied. They *should* stick after a reboot. Mine do.
I've made a blog post about this so that maybe a Google search will turn up some usable results for you all. Here it is: http://blog.efpophis.net/2012/11/speakerphone-echo-on-samsung-fascinate.html

Awesome. Thanks for the helpful information and link. The image in the blog post was helpful so that I knew exactly what settings screen I was looking for. For me, I needed to go to "Settings > [Device] Advanced > [Volume Controls] In-Call Volume Controls". Those settings seem to have done the trick for me.
Thanks again!

[Q] Headset Microphone cutting in and out on Task's AOKP 5.1.12/Siyah v3.2rc1

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.

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.

[Q]Too loud speaker during phone call

[Q] Cyanogenmod Muted Calls

I see other are having this problem but can't find the solution. I've got the latest Cyanogenmod RC flashed on my VZW Galaxy S4. I've flashed about 10 ROMs and love CM the best. Problem is that sometimes when I receive a call I can hear the other person but they can't hear me. I need to reboot to fix the problem. This is ONLY on CM. Like I said, I've flashed many roms and haven't had the problem. Has anyone seen a solution out there?

It's definitely not the mute button. It's so strange. Only on CM! Nightlies and now with the RC. I was so excited for RC, cause I figured this wouldn't happen but it still is. Had to reboot twice today.
Frustrated
I have the same problem. I am on ME7, rooted only. Working with vzw to diagnose it. I think its going to become more common and will need a replacement.
