I have an Oppo R9S, rooted and running a CM13 build from a Chinese developer (Wu Xianlin) who I do not know how to contact and even if I did I don't speak Chinese.
The ROM is awesome apart from one irritating bug. When you make a phone call. It works as a handset, but if you use speakerphone the volume actually lowers to be quieter than in handset mode, and if you use a wired headset the sound is also very quiet. Bluetooth headsets are unaffected, so this is mainly an issue when calling banks etc. who want you to type things into the dialpad.
The speaker works fine for games and music as does wired headphones, so I don't think this is a driver issue.
I'm fairly sure the problem lies in the file mixer_paths_mtp.xml and other people have fixed similar issues by modifying this file, but I really can't figure out how it works or what to modify to fix this, and every attempt I've made so far just breaks sound completely and just putting it back doesn't fix it, I have to reflash. I have no idea why. I can't find much documentation on this file.
I've attached both the CM13 version of the file and the version from the stock ROM. I'd really appreciate it if someone who knows how these things work could take a look and suggest a fix. Also happy to supply any other files from either ROM if you think the problem may lie elsewhere.
Seems any change I make at all, no matter how small, kills all sound on my phone requiring a reflash, but thankfully doesn't require a wipe.

The search feature was not working otherwise I would of hopefully found this answer. But is there anyway possible to make the headphone out sound louder? I use the g tab for my everyday listening in car and it is much quieter than my old ipod. If anyone knows of any solutions to this please help.
Thanks yall!
You could try using the attached DSP Manager to raise output levels. It works with many builds of Android on phones, but I don't have the tablet handy to test.
Edit: Others on the forum have reported loss of sound after tinkering with DSP Manager and had to reload their ROM. Not much testing has been done so proceed at your own risk.

just tried it and it says "there is a problem parsing the package"
Thanks though. Anyone else?
I just wanted to say that I tried dsp manager a while back, as I had it on my Evo as well with no issues.
Only after tinkering with it for a few minutes and a reboot or two i did in fact lose all sound. I wouldnt mess with it on the tab, unless theres a modified version for us.
Good thing for backups!
thanks for the heads up
anyone else have any ideas?
Hello everyone.
I have encountered a functional problem with bluetooth on current Roms.
Ever since 2.3.6, my outgoing bluetooth mic volume is buzzy and noisy - so much so that it is impossible for anyone to hear me.
On stock 2.3.5 and lower, I do not have this problem. Its anything higher and all custom roms which lead me to believe its probably library/phone.apk & stream profile related.
I have tried porting older deodexed phone.apks and LIBS (thinking it is the noise suppressor fix and call record hack)
I have also tried replacing all the bluetooth libraries including the liba2dp + asound/audio.config files.
I have even tried other radios, but I cant seem to figure this out!
I know its the roms as Stock 2.3.5 and lower work - so its not my phone and must be some dev hacks. Im not sure what the devs are doing in the new roms, but I see BLUETOOTH FIX and Phone Volume in the changelogs so Im thinking this might be related.
I hope that someone here might be able to either help me with a fix or at least shed some light on whats going on here.
Thanks,
JF
Update
I am able to fix this in the service menu (*#197328640#*) but these codes do not stay when the phone is rebooted. My phones bt TX setting is default at 98.... it stops being noisy at 60.
So in addition to my question, I'd it even possible to make changes in the service mode stick? Is this a hack with scripts that from devs use now to fix phone volume?
Thanx .
I've been having problems with my car's parrot (mki9100) bluetooth. My Redmi Note 2 seems to pair fine with it, but then it just keeps connecting and disconnecting every few seconds. It doesn't share contacts, it doesn't work for calls and it doesn't work for a2dp. I've disabled permission management but the issue persists. I don't seem to be an isolated case as there are people complaining about this on MIUI's forums. I'm running 6.7.5 from en.miui.com.
I've tried the usual stuff, clearing cache/dalvik, even reinstalling the rom; nothing helped.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

I was just about to start a thread myself then I saw your post.
Sadly I'm having trouble too. In my case stereo Bluetooth A2DP is awful. I'm constantly having skips and stutters on both devices I have tested so far (a Samsung HS3000 and a Logitech Boombox). I'm currently using the MIUI dev ROM from September 11th. If you're using MIUI 6 then clearly the problem spans numerous ROMs. Poop.
My problems happen regardless of whether or not I'm doing anything else on the device. It also doesn't seem to matter whether or not WiFi or data are enabled.
As a kind of aside, I also can't get my Moga Pro to connect in Mode A. It appears to pair OK but then just won't connect. Searching around for answers, this also something that at least the MiPad suffers from too (since last year!). Looks like Xiaomi has Bluetooth issues full stop.
I like this device, but some of its quirks of both hardware and software are making it more and more likely to end up on an auction site.
I can't wait for a more stock-like rom to be out.
This might be of help to someone: Someone suggested replacing the bluetooth app from /system/data with an older one (needs root).
I wasn't successful in replacing the app. Instructions here:

Thanks for the link.
I tried it too on the developer ROM. It doesn't work (it breaks Bluetooth completely).
A2DP doesn't seem to stutter with music for me after the 17th/18th update. I've only tried a few songs. It's possible that the actual bitrate has decreased though. Apart from the stutters I'm sure it sounded better before. Maybe I'm imagining it.
Briefly tested 6.7.7 and it seems to work! Contacts synced for the first time, A2DP and calls worked. I'll let you know on the audio quality as soon as I have the chance to listen for a longer period of time.
Hi,
I got a problem that my Samsung Galaxy S5 route all audio to earphones.
I would like to route all media to speaker and all phonecalls to headset (and if possible bluetooth).
I don't mind customizing ROM if needed.
Any idea how can I do that?
Thanks!
Help?
first: ask with understandable words. lol i don't know what are ur plans
i know this is really old but to anyone having these issues, install soundabout you can use it to force audio to a certain output for calls, media, ect really helps when your headphones start to break and android doesnt want to detect them even though they work
EDIT: I misunderstood the last post as a question. Didn't mean to repeat the same answer to an old thread.
Not really a full answer but I am currently having similar issues. There seem to be audio routing apps like Audio Router (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=audiomix.audiooutputsource) and SoundAbout (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix) than can do the job. I can't exactly tell how they work but maybe someone else knows. Or you'll figure it out.
Feel free to post your results
Have the same problem. But neither Audio Router (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ooutputsource) nor SoundAbout (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...oneroutingfix) can't route SMS notification away from headphones.
Sounds terrible. Most modern android smartphones are worse in this regard than ordinary simple cell-phones.
I wonder how things are in this regard in Windows Background.
Hello guys,
My XAU Dual showing microphone issues during making calls! when I make a phone call my friends keep complaining about barely hearing me (very low voice) or my voice is like someone talking in a deep tunnel with too much echo ..sort of that!
here are some things I tried to fix the issue but all failed to fix it:
1- I tried factory resetting my device
2- tried repairing my device software using Xperia Companion
3- tried disabling audio enhancement (ClearAudio+ ....etc)
4- in settings>call>SIM>Equalizer ...set to normal
5- tried looking for microphone noise suppression in settings.. can't find it
Didn't drop my device & never exposed to any fluids!!
Tho, I ran diagnostics>tested my microphone, one time I hear my voice good, then gave it another try later on & the microphone recorder a very low sound!!
Am really outta options here & this issue really sucks
My device model number is F3212, running android 6.0, build number 36.0.B.2.146.
Any ideas..
I've been experiencing this problem on two different XA Ultras. The microphone seems to switch to the one on the top of the phone so if you hold the phone upside down people can hear you. I've had to switch to speakerphone output to talk to people when this happens. Switching back to phone from speakerphone sometimes makes it work normally but not all the time.
I suspect it has something to do with an app that is running earlier, maybe google play music or OK google.
I have tried reset and it doesn't help. The problem comes back.
There is a similar if not identical issue on another Sony phone, the solution being to turn off microphone noise suppression. I haven't tried this.

I didn't notice that flipping the phone or switching to speaker output might work, gotta try it first.
What bugs me the most is the fact that I can't find anything related to disabiling microphone noise suppression at an section of this device settings!
Am using a headphone currently & waiting for Android nougat to hit the device & hopefully fix the issue.
This problem was never there when I first used my device out of its box, but later on it appeard after may be 2 upgrade patches of Android 6.0 few months later.
Waiting is my only hope...
