For those who doesn't know what I'm talking about here is a short sample:

So I'm not alone. The problem is connected with htc device using ICS soft. I don't know if it's soft related or skype related. Moreover I can say the same situation is in GTA 3 game, crackling all the time, it was mentioned in one of links above.
Does anybody have some idea how to deal with it? It's really annoying and skype is important peace for me.

Hey I also had a lot of problems with crackling speakers on ICS roms. on the thread of the custom rom that i use at the moment (mwakious) there were more people complaining about it. In his latest version he seemded to repaired it if you check the change log. i tried it for myself and i dont experience any problems any more. Maybe an idea to flash that rom? don;t know if you like it but at least you are not bothered with that crackling noise anymore.
Good luck!
It's funny because I use this rom all the time and person who has complaint about it was me . I have the newest version and still have these crackles. Have you done something special or the newest version has solved this problem for you?
'Temple Run' has it too.
OK so I've had my HOX+ for about a month having moved on from the Apple empire and for the most part I love the phone. There are a few annoying things I've noticed and after much time searching forums, contacting HTC and all that jazz haven't found a good answer yet. So I figured I'd just try asking and getting some opinions here. My disclaimer is that I'm still 100% stock and not quite ready to dive into root and custom ROMs yet
Issue #1 - that damn BT call audio issue - Has anyone found a fix for the BT issue so everyone I talk to in my car doesn't sound like they are talking with their phone in their mouth? I spent a week working with HTC on this and all I ever got was the standard "we're sorry to hear about your issue, working to resolve, blah blah blah"
Issue #2 - I've recently noticed a issue with audio pausing and the phone being slow to respond from unlock when playing music. PowerAmp seems to be the worst culprit but I've noticed this a little with Double Twist also. I've tweaked my audio settings in PA to use the "huge" buffer and highest thread priority. Turning Beats off didn't seem to help either.
Any feedback welcome, thanks.
Gonna have to root to fix Bluetooth audio issues or wait for a ota threw your service provider

For the audio issue i also do have that problem.. little minor pauses.. but quite annoying.. tried different music players but there was no difference.. I also have a bigger problem actually.. the headphones output are not equal.. one is higher than the other.. tried different headphones.. but na.. nothing has changed..

Yeah that sounds almost exactly like my problem, little minor pauses most of the time (which to me is kind of annoying) and every so often a longer pause of like 4-10 seconds. I ended up having my phone go into a sleep of death last night so I rebooted and also ended up removing the Double Twist widget I had up when I was checking out different players. Today the pause issue seemed better but still not 100% so I'm starting to suspect something (widget or otherwise) I'm running is maxing out the CPU or something.
Haven't noticed any balance issue though, what player are you using? I know in PowerAmp and I'd imagine others there is a balance control...could just be off a bit or if nothing else you might try adjusting it to compensate till you find a solution.
Stock based and aosp roms have Bluetooth fixes.
You can't fix anything yourself unless u root, otherwise wait for a carrier update that may never come.
Will also fix any slow performance issues you might be having, even more so with a custom kernel.
Never experienced issues with Bluetooth myself tho.

So as an update, rooted yesterday and installed ViperXL. BT fixed, just got around to getting all my music back on today so I havent tested playback yet.

I am having the same audio issue. I'm using N7 player. It sucks. I thought it was just the player but then It started happening on pandora too. does this quick pause only happen on AUX? I haven't tested to see what happens with bluetooth audio streaming. Only happens/has been tested happening with AUX.
This happens on the latest viper rom for one x+ att
We should fix this!
use Zplayer

I have had same problems with music, tried Zplayer which solved the issues... my phone is on stock rom ...
Had a chance to do some heads down work and played music for the better part of 4 hours. The pause issue is still there with Double Twist, but nowhere near as bad when I was running stock. Very minor now bit still apparent. My PowerAmp trial ran out so I can't test it. Might try Player Pro even though I'm not crazy about it.

I have noticed minor pauses in music at the same spot when walking down my road towards my house. Due to it happening in roughly the same spot, I have put this down to my home WiFi connecting and/or my Vodafone Sure Signal signal booster being picked up as the primary network connection for calls etc.
I have no idea if my thoughts are correct, but is this something anyone else has tried or even thought about? My phone is currently fubar'd so I can't test it atm.
I hv tried few ROMs and concluded that its the stock kernel's processor settings on sleep mode, I installed cm 10.1 with blade kernel and changed minimum CPU frequency at bit higher level and music plays perfectly fine... I hope this could help others.

Yes, I have found that the audio pause issue seems to be related to connecting to a wifi spot. It still happens when wifi is turned off though, so although they are related, it's not the cause.
I definitely think it has to do with the clockspeed of the device when it is idling.
I notice the audio pauses when,
The screen is left on and the orientation changes
pause frequency changes depending on the player
When connecting to a wifi access point/scanning for one
Someone take this information and e-mail HTC. I was going to call them, but I don't have the time to deal with all of this stuff right now. College finals are next week.
EDIT: managed to give HTC a call. They suggested poweramp and said that they were working on a proper fix. I don't have the time to test to see if power amp solves the issue just now, but it's always good to hear other people's experiences/devices specs. So let me know your device specs and what you know about this issue!
Hi, most of you should know me because Hybrid Bootstacks. But today, I'm here to talk about something new. (or not so new.)
Some people are getting Low audio output when on CM-12.1+ or any other aosp based. (I'm getting too.)
The problem here, is that not everybody has this issue, so, I need to you guys answer this poll with your G2 variant.
But only if you are facing this audio bug!
Attention, it is only about output volume, don't answer the poll if you have only the low mic issue. (Just reply the topic, with infos.)
Thanks,

I have d802 and i was facing this problem and all the people i know with g2 complain about that. I know that you need to change the mixer_phat to increase the volume.

Edit mixer paths or use Kernel Auditor. It's that simple.
Having issues, it's too darn low! Had to edit mixer_paths... d802 SEA Variant...

Yeah, seems that it is a d802 only problem. I'll wait a little more until start to work on it.
Can you just answer one thing for me? Your microphone is low too? (cm13.0, cm12.1 has a mic bug.)
Just increasing values in mixer_paths did raise the volume. Problem was that it started to distort sound on the highest volume step. The solution was to flash viper4android, it made it possible to use a high value and not get sound distortion. D802
Sure, no problem... My girlfriend has been complaining that she doesn't hear me loud enough since I flashed 12.1, will have to test it on my own though by switching phones with her and will let you know... Editing the mixer_paths is not the solution because of the distortion, as stated above, and also the volume isn't quite linear in the final 3 steps, it's like it is jumping over two steps... Or we can't find the correct setup for the file... It can't be that we need to change just one (or three) value(s)...
d800 5.1.1 while recording at times when sound was loud it would sound very low at that part when record was played.. also using whats app audio messages it will start high for a second then very low, but only my messages that i sent recorded with g2 phone, the other end or friend could hear me out clear and loud just normal. and i could hear they messages loud just normal. only thing was my messages recorded with g2.

Yes, we need to find the best editing mixer_paths + kernel audio driver gain.

Can you guys try cm13.0? Seems like mic has been fixed on it. (Here it's ok now, just a little low. On cm-12.1 it was trash.)
Will give it a shot tomorrow since I need a fully operable phone today for work...

I have an LG G2 D801. I flashed crDroid 6.0.0 a few day ago. Speaker volume is very low. I have no idea how to increase the volume!! Tried Viper4Android but I don't even notice a difference.
When I call someone, they can hardly hear me.
Does anyone know how I might increase the speaker volume for my phone? Any good advice will be appreciated.
I remember a time when people were helpful on XDA. They would share knowledge, help others who know less. Unfortunately, those days are long gone.
I have referred many friends and acquaintances to XDA Developers, telling them there are many very experienced guys - and girls - who are happy to help you... It gives many of them the experience they need.
But a number of these people would tell me that the people on XDA are, basically, jerks! Rather than complain along with others, I hope to get through to at least one of you.
XDA began as a site where anyone with a specific handheld device could ask any question in order to get help...with any problem they would encounter. It grew and added other devices. Now XDA has become the most reputable go-to site for help with any kind of phone. If anyone knows anything about phones they know XDA Developers.
Guys, this should not be a place to show-of, or to be rude or intimidating. Often, there are people with questions, or need help, advice...and they don't know anything. These are the people who need help the most. Your help. Please treat people the way YOU would want to be treated when YOU did not know anything at all. That is all I ask.
Thank you.
I have d802 and i had to change mixer_paths to hear voice navigation commands during driving my car. The speaker audio is low and changing paths was the solution. It is true that there is a little distortion but when you set CM built in Audio mixer properly then no issues.
@CiscoKydd
If you are using the CM then you could edit the mixer_paths to raise the speaker volume output (have no idea about mic) or you could install cutom CAF kernel for d801 and then change the speaker and mic gain via Kernel Auditor.
I have no knowledge about the d801 kernels because I personally have the d802 version.
Thank you, @sunekosuri. I increased volume by editing mixer_paths. Volume increased to the point of distortion.
As for the mic... Well, that goes on my To Do list.
Thanks again, Sunekosuri.
Now I used to live with this very low sound. Camera and sound are the only issues I think of going back to stock.
hey, i was facing the same problem using last nitly from cyanogem mod 13 on my lg g2 d802 32gb. the only way that seems to boost around 50% the sound ouput was with this app.
hope it help you guys too.

Is this issue fixed now?
This morning, I received the android 7.1.1 on my Nexus 9 WIFI and it was installed smoothly.... no issues there! After that, I realize that the audio/sound coming out the speaker was lower volume with almost no bass!
I tried several mp3 players to make sure that it wasn't poweramp's fault.
Anyone else has this issue?

i just checked my n9 lte on 7.1.1 and I'm not seeing anything different except maybe lower volume levels. i checked with google play music so it might be power amp causing your issues.
Edit: also just checked with youtube and some other songs i know that have a decent amount of bass and they're coming out fine and on par with the speakers on my htc one m9 so i definitely think it's poweramp
I'll double check this then ... Thanks for the reply!
Yes audio is very low in YouTube etc and also lock and unlock sound has changed to aosp style!
Same at me. Audio is low volume with high tones only. Wery annoying.
It was fine in beta 7.1.
Another one here with low volume issues.
This is through all the apps and when I try to get to the previous volume levels all I hear is distortion.
Yeah, this was the first thing I noticed upon rebooting the Nexus 9 after the 7.1.1 update (I use the full OTA package). The over-all level seems quieter, and lacking in bass. Even the keypad clicks seem to sound weaker.
now that i've been doing some more testing and yes the speakers are lacking on some bass and are quieter. hopefully google fix it in a hot patch or we have to wait until January's update
lacking some bass...indeed.
Flashed back to unencrypted 91D and the volume/bass issue is significant for me. A dealbreaker even. For a device touting front facing stereo speakers it's a facepalm moment to me.
I assume the fix involves the tablets nether regions?
how do we go about contacting google about this? Do we have to go through the product device forums?
Same issue here, Google ****ed up once again..
Normally when watching YouTube videos with the front facing speakers in a quiet room I had my volume at 75%, now I have to set it at 100%.
Someone already raised an issue at Google (link below), but not expecting a fix any time soon. As usual when Google ****s something up..

Yesterday I was tired of waiting for a FIX so I rollback to 7.0.0 by flashing factory image --> https://developers.google.com/android/images
Finally it sounds better ! Screw 7.1.1!
N4F26X April patch is out.
Maybe the audio bug is fixed or is this yet another useless update?
"Useless" because when the people is forced to downgrade to 7.0 to get back their tablet working correctly, the develop of all the security hotfixes for 7.1.1 become just a waste of time.

Thanks for the tip, dumdum2. For several months now, I've been tolerating the dire, thin, weedy sound quality of 7.1.1 on my Nexus 9 .
So yesterday, after updating to the May security patch (N4F27B) via FlashFire, and discovering the woeful audio quality issue of 7.1.1 had STILL not been addressed by Google (and I suspect it probably never will be now)...
...so today I went in search of a solution and discovered your comment about the FireIce kernel.
And it certainly seems to have done the trick .
Having flashed it, the audio is now significantly improved. It seems flashing this kernel restores some component or file; see screenshot below of my TWRP output and the highlighted line.
Anyhow, whatever the underlying technical details are, the audio on my 7.1.1 Nexus 9 sounds considerably better than it has for quite sometime .
Cheers!
Rgrds,
Ged.
July security patch... still not fixed. In fact I think it's even worse. Sigh...
I am currently running on Arrow OS if it matters. I had been using this Rom for about 2 months now and everything was fine. And today suddenly as I was listening to music it started to have a scratchy effect. It kept getting worse. Now its pretty much inaudible.
Is this a hardware issue? How can I fix this?
Thank you.

I know some Custom roms have this bug but ArrowOS did not list it under bugs so I assumed speaker breaking won't be a problem.
How much did it cost for you, if you don't mind me asking. and what custom rom are you using?
