I've been having an issue with the audio on my i9100 since I rooted and flashed the supernexus build 4 ROM from here (android 4.2.2)
I first tried contacting the developer, but have had no response so thought I'd try here.
The issue is hard to describe, but such that you would spot it instantly if you had the phone in your hand. Anyway, I'll try:
It's almost like there is a threshold in audio volume that needs to be exceeded before the phone will output any sound. In a typical music track, there are several moments below this threshold, so basically for certain moments in the track you hear silence instead of the quiet parts. This is extremely irritating, and makes some tracks bordering on unlistenable, especially at lower volumes which seems to make the problem worse. The problem occurs with all headphones I've tried, the phone speakers and also when transmitting audio over Bluetooth.
Has anyone got any ideas what the problem might be? Am I missing something?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is driving me mad! Cheers.
Try a different music player from playstore

Thanks for the reply
The problem occurs on all the music players ive tried
Different rom? Have you tested a different rom to see if it follows you.

The problem didn't occur with the stock rom, it began when I flashed the supernexus rom. I'd like to avoid flashing another rom if possible, everything else on the phone is pretty much how I want it. I was hoping there might be some option in the settings that ive missed, perhaps something to do with noise cancellation?
Thanks
Try the milestone build from supernexus.

Hey guys, i've been having some problems with the stock music player that came with Kyrillo's v6.0 ROM. It crashes at random times when playing music or surfing through it's interface without any "Force Close" prompts of any kind. Just crashes.
(This problem is only with the stock player, rest of the apps work perfectly)
Tried all possible kernels with different clock speeds and still no result. The problem seems to be with the stock music player that came with Kyrillo's ROM.
So is there another music player app that has the similar UI in terms of how the songs and artists are displayed? I've tried a bunch of music player's but all of them have the same folder structure UI. I want a player that displays all the songs by the particular artist and not like this:
artist\(each individual album)\(songs of that album).
try this
Did you try wipe cache from recovery, Im sure thers a fix for this. its not a big issue. you dont have to look for other music players.
Yeah well after trying "everything in the book" and also doing a factory reset and cache wipe, i encounter the same problem! please has no one else experienced the issue?
try this too
Im surprised no one gave any suggetions.. Look, Iam not a dev or expert , but i can tell you its not a big problem. which ROM are you using? Did u try everything in the book including:
1. Formatting your sd card
2. Re-flashing ROM
3. Try different Kernel
4. Change the allocation size of your fat32 partition to a smaller value like 128. sometimes high values cause problems.
Look, if it were a hardware issue then any kind of 3rd party app should not work.
1. Yes
2. Lol this was done a thousand times for obvious reasons so yes. Tried every possible ROM (stock and modded).
3. Same as no.2. Tried around 9 different kernels!
4. I'm not sure if that would help at all.
This is something to do with the hardware outputing the sound. The time i bought the mobile phone with the 2.1 eclair stock ROM, it was working perfectly with no sound abnormalities.
The first time i installed a custom ROM i noticed the problem and it was so annoying that i downgraded back to the stock 2.1 eclair. But unfortunately after that the problem still remained no matter what ROM i chose. It seems like there isn't enough power to drive the earphones at the instant when the screen is turned ON or OFF. It stabilizes after that.
It's like a few milliseconds of a cracking sound. The same sound you experience when putting your earphone plug into a speaker jack or sound jack. A static cracking sound.
Someone on the forum said it was a kernel issue and that it would be fixed. I thought most people were having the problem with the current kernel. But any later releases didn't fix the problem. SORRY FOR THE LONG POST, and if you or anybody could please help me out i would be grateful
well, i guess theres nothing much left to try then, If it's still under warranty, then i suggest flash a stock froyo or eclair firmware, go to nearest samsung service centre & hope they fix the issue. (fight for it if you have to). I fought for my battery replacement (last day of my six month waranty!!) & got it too!
k will have to do that i think cause this is very annoying. anyways thx for the replies.
Hello,
So it seems that when I install any of the AOSP roms "unofficial cm, infection, tron" the speaker audio does not work. For anything. Notifications, videos, speaker phone, anything. Obviously Im the only person who has this problem but does anybody have any idea how to fix this annoyance. Audio works fine on Sense based roms weirdly enough.
Thanks

You know, ive had this issue on one of my roms, its a bug that is bugging me lol. But my MIUI rom, it doesnt register until you bring the volume to max and then adjust it from there. You only need to do this the first time..if you go into the sound setting and max out all sound and then adjust them to where you want. Not sure if it will work for you, but thats the work around in my rom

Bump. Still no solution. Tried a bunch of different roms and even what was suggested. But nothing seems to get the sound to work on AOSP roms. I really hate sense and want to get rid of it. Im going to try and reinstall the ruu and start clean. Maybe that will fix something.
When you attempt to play something the speaker sounds like its trying to play. sometimes popping or even really soft static sound. Again this is only when on AOSP roms.
Weirdly enough. Rage 1.9.6 (4.0.4 cm based) works with sound but not the newer roms. Any Ideas?

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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
I have tried googling but it does not really give a direct answer.
I have a rooted galaxy s3 with Resurrection remix which I love, but I am experiencing some problems with audio. Initially, audio would not really play out of headphones unless I let the audio play out of speaker and then put my headphones back in again. After downloading Soundabout to help with this, it seems now that audio only plays out of my headphones when I use the Google play music widget on my homescreen and do not lock the device, if I try to enter the google play music app whilst I am listening to something, the music instantly stops coming out of my headphones but then continues if I go back to homescreen again. This is also the same it seems with Sound cloud. I have seen some suggestions, one of which is to do a factory reset but I would deeply rather not do this, is there any other method of fixing this? Audio works but it is rather temperamental and seems to only work when doing having it in a certain way. I have heard about an app called Viper4android, but I have not actually tried it yet.
A side note, but it is not priority to fix at the moment, I am also experiencing a shorter battery life then when I had my stock touchwiz rom and also my phone seems to get hotter at the bottom (like it would in an intense game) but when I am just on the homescreen using it a lot with a fair few apps open and doing a lot, is this normal on this rom? It kind of makes me fearful about using the rom too much in case I somehow damage my phone. Anyway, my main concern is the audio problem but if anyone can answer that as well that would be nice.
Apart from these problems, I am loving this rom and would really like to keep it as the performance is phenomenal compared to my stock samsung rom. Please help so that I do not have to go away from this brilliant rom because of some problems.
Simliar issues
I'm having very similar issues with CM11 on 4.4.2... Although my issue is that my headphones occasionally stop working and only work when I open Google Now... very weird. I have to reboot to get it right again. Haven't figured out how to replicate the bug yet.
I used this ROM:
[ROM][OFFICIAL][CandyKat 4.4+][TWRP & CWM][Customizable Candy Shop][quincyatt]
And now there's no sound or mic in phone calls or from music, videos etc.... and the volume for everything is maxed out.
Does anyone have a solution or is there a better ROM I should try?
Thanks guys

Try re-downloading the rom. (might have corrupt file)
Try wiping the system 3 times in recovery before installing fresh rom download.
If problem still occurs, notify the roms thread and try a different one.
No one can really tell you what's "better" since there's sooooo many variables you like compared to what others prefer. Try a different one based on the same android version or higher.
