Since im on marshmallow, sometimes, when a notification comes in, the audio ducks for a long time and/or until another notification comes in. It is driving me insane. Android 6.0 from sony is buggy as hell!
What does it mean for the audio to "duck?”
The volume of media decreases when notification comes in.
Thanks for the explanation, never heard that term before. I have not noticed that behavior on mine.

Hi.
This is my first try at a hack for android. Been readin java previously so i know the basics.
I think there are others that would enjoy this "hack" aswell.
So to the hack i want to make.
Remove notifications while in Car-Dock playing music.
Remove the 25% volume thingy for media volume.
These "features" are incredibly annoying.
If my N1 is in the car dock the media volume goes down to about 1/4.
My notifications go on top of the music. While my N1 is in the car dock im quite sure i would notice a incoming call / sms / email. So there is no actual need for a sound.
What i want to do is remove the lowered volume and all notification sounds when in car dock.
I already removed the car home screen becose its utterly useless.
But this didnt affect the volume as i thought.
If anyone wanna help out with this it would be greatly appriciated
You could use the app PhoneWeaver to fix both issues. It has a car dock trigger and you can turn off all the notification sounds. Also allows you to specify a level for the media volume.
I tried one of these previously.
It removed the sounds. BUT it still muted the music for the moment the notification was supposed to play.
So it didnt disable the notifications. Only muted them.
i would actually like to have mine lowered like you describe, it always seems to crank up the volume so much so that it distorts the sound when i dock it and it is then not adjustable through the settings or through audio manager pro.
I'll have to check out phoneweaver, i emailed audio manager pro and they said there was no plans to set up profiles automatically triggered by docking the phone...
the way i deal with this is i have two home screen shortcuts for audio manager pro that sets all audio and mutes notifications and another that sets it back to normal
holy crap...6.99 for the app, perhaps ill wait to try it out
Ill get to work on this project next week when i have some time.
I bought my Galaxy S3 (UK version) when they first came out, but recently had to have the motherboard replaced under warranty due to the phone suffering from Sudden Death.
Before the repair, the audio output via my earbud headset was perfect, but now I'm getting a persistent and annoying low-level background hiss. This is not affected in the slightest by the volume control - even at the lowest volume setting the hiss is still present at the same level. It lasts for about 4 seconds after audio playback has finished, and then stops with a slight click/pop as the audio circuit shuts down.
You can also hear it from the rear-panel speaker if you put it close to your ear and perform any action which causes a noise to be generated - e.g. keypress clicks or the notification tones when you press the volume rocker (just make sure volume is set low first though, as that speaker can be loud when you've got your ear up against it!)
I've done some checking and it's definitely hardware related - nandroid restoring my old ROM doesn't make any difference. It is really annoying when I'm listening to music at night in bed, usually at the lowest volume setting, as the hiss is much more noticeable without other ambient noises to drown it out.
There were a number of reports of similar issues last year but not everyone seemed to be affected, and the threads all seem to have dried up now. I'm wondering how many 'original' S3 users have this problem, versus more recent purchasers? I've added a poll, just to see how widespread this issue is - please treat any phone where the motherboard has been replaced for Sudden Death issues as a 'recent' phone.
And how do I go about getting it fixed if the current motherboards all seem to have the same fault? Is there any low-level firmware setting to reduce the physical gain of the internal audio amp circuit, as it does seem to be happening in the final stages of audio output rather than in the software-controlled stuff? I'm not worried about losing the top end of the volume range, I use bluetooth for more amplified playback anyway.

Background hiss / noise no and thats from one of the very first SGS3 .
But a fair number of the sound mods do add noise .
>>>is is not affected in the slightest by the volume control - even at the lowest volume setting the hiss is still present at the same level. It lasts for about 4 seconds after audio playback has finished, and then stops with a slight click/pop as the audio circuit shuts down.<<<<
That has been well posted up on XDA hiss + pop click on shutdown as you said long time ago .|Not seen any user posting really since those threads died . Most are just looking for more loud or more boom boom .
A number of kernels now have sound adaptations .
jje
Yeah, I first put it down to some sort of audio mod in the ROM that I had installed, so I nandroided back to the vanilla JB that was in the phone when I picked it back up from repair, and even back to my older ICS stock ROM (which had no audio mods at all) and they were all exactly the same.
Sound tweaks are all going to effect the source sound digitally, before it hits the analogue amp stage, and I suspect it's the final analogue stage which is generating the interference.
I don't care for lots of volume or boom boom (and anyway, I have amplifiers or car audio for that) but I do want my original lovely hissless audio quality back...
Andre
Do you still get the hissing with a good sound enhancing kernel (such as boeffla)? If you do, sounds like you have a hardware problem
Sent via TCP/IP
Ah, I didn't know some kernels were better than others for noise reduction. Although I'm not so interested in 'enhancing' per se, more reducing! But the problem I'm getting is not effected by the volume controls at all, the hiss remains constant whatever any of the level sliders are set to, just as long as the audio circuits are enabled.
The ROM I'm currently running is Omega AOKP v7.0, which is based on AOKP JB 4.2.2 milestone-1 and stock kernel. Is there a suitable kernel compatible with that which might help me does anyone know? (boeffla isn't as far as I can tell)

My SGS3 is about 9 months old, and I have this too. However, in my case the background hiss is at an extremely low level - to all practical intents it's inaudible. Certainly not enough to be annoying, even in the quietest of environments.
Hi guys,
I just switched from my Nexus 5 to S6 Edge. I noticed one VERY annoying thing: if I'm not on silent or vibrate mode while listening to music (I use PowerAmp) through headphone, both music and notification sound will be redirected to loudspeaker every time a notification comes. Everybody around me can hear the music I'm listening to + the notification and the speaker on S6 is pretty damn loud.
This gets even more annoying when I'm chatting with friends as notification sound will be played every few seconds. I had to mute notification sound. I did some research and most threads here on XDA said it's an Android bug, but I don't think so. My Nexus 5 never had this problem on 4.4, 5.0 or 5.1. Please help!
There's nothing you can do. Silence your phone.
Seriously? That would be damn annoying bug
I flashed 12.1 (Nightly 4/28) a couple of days ago from CM11 (Snapshot M9). Overall, I like it except for one glaring issue. For some reason, the audio seems to self-adjust no matter what. I initially encountered this while I was calling. The incoming volume would suddenly get painfully loud, like it was a max, so I would hit the volume down button several times and then about 15 seconds later, the volume shoots back up again. On top of that, the volume also goes back down to where I was expecting it, so it kept fluctuating from quiet to loud.
I also tested this just playing music. I played a song, adjusted the volume to max, and then slid the slider down to about hitting volume up three times. It was quiet for a little bit and then just went right back up to a significantly louder volume. Tested this with the plain "music" app and Google's Play Music app. I have AudioFX disabled as well.
Just tested the inverse of this where I went from low to high volume and it seems that it wants to keep a certain loudness. I guess similar to how there was that one feature that you could enable in previous versions to prevent hearing damage when wearing headphones.
I just tested this with headphones as well and the anomaly doesn't seem to happen.
Anyone know if there are any fixes or is this just a side effect from it being a nightly build?

After doing a few minutes of research, it seems people with the OnePlus One are also having this problem on CM11:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/t-...galaxy-s3-volume-going-crazy.html#post4342611
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-2309
This user notes that the volume setting to make ringtones gradually louder may be causing the issue for them:
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-3026?jql=text ~ "volume"
I don't see too much on CM12.1 at the moment on the bugtracker except for this on a Z3:
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/NIGHTLIES-1147?jql=project in (CYAN, NIGHTLIES)
So for anyone else who is curious, I did a little more digging between my college finals and found that it seems to be a Lollipop thing, not just a CM thing. I guess the only thing we can do is hope either the CM team or Google comes up with a fix for I guess what would be called 5.2 or 5.1.5.
all 26+ builds 12.1 have this bug
Hey guys. I've been getting annoyed by the audio lowering itself when watching videos. Happens on any player, but especially on Youtube. Like I have the volume on about 60%, sounds great, and then it just cuts down the volume to let's say 40% while it is still set to 60%. Has anyone ever experienced this? It's extremely annoying and it happens after about a minute of watching a video.
Thank you!
i expirence it on spotify tidal fixing by reboot phone

Awful bug with 9.1, on mine mate 20 x it's the same issue.
I reported this to Huawei months ago.
Experiencing the same(?) issue:
When my volume is set quite low and I play a video or even just music on the stock music player app, it plays normal for about 10 seconds and then the audio gradually (during about 2 seconds) lowers to less than half the original set volume and then it stays low like that.
The volume slider itself stays the same.
Like demon2112 suggested, pausing the playback for a short moment (at least 3 seconds) indeed fixes the issue but then again 10 seconds later the issue comes back.
I don't think the issue happens when the volume is set higher; only on low volumes levels.
Also, I'm pretty sure it is only the bottom speaker which lowers in volume.
If I listen only to the earpiece (by blocking the bottom speaker), it does not appear to change.
Is this the same for you guys?
Issue still happens on 9.1.0.323

Nope.
On Android 9.0 it worked perfectly
I face this bug also. It is very annoying. It's like the sound "moves" to the earspeaker. I am on .180
I have the same problem. 9.1.0.358. Maybe there is some system settings we could tinker with?

I tried everything in sound settings and settings related to sound or multimeedia in dev options. Tried both on android 9 and 10. None of that worked. I saw somewhere that it can be resolved by turning off stereo+ option but there is no option like that on this phone. When I was using beta of android 10 I reported this issue several times and as we can see with no positive resultat.
Fix for me
Turn sound+ on, switch Dolby from Smart to music with flat eq

Where can I find sound+ option?
Any solution for this. Been having this issue since I upgraded the software.
I have EMIUI 10.1 on my Mate 20 pro and still no fix.
So EMUI 10.1 isn't a real update. Some cosmetic changes, thats all.
