Audio problems on 2.3.3 - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am experiencing an audio problem with Jac 2.3.3. My call recipients complain that the background noise is too loud. They are hearing my car radio when I can barely hear it, they hear my air conditioner when it is on low, and can hear everything else other than me. My voice is being distorted because it is so loud. In the Jac 2.3.3 thread someone suggested downloading audio manager, but I don't see anything on there that would control the mic volume levels. Does anyone have any idea how to adjust this? Thanks...

Did you use any of Meltus's audio mods? I haven't used JAC's ROM myself so maybe he's using it too, but you should try pushing Meltus's V2 and then V6 to your mobile phone and try again.

Yeah, I would recommend pushing one of Meltus's audio mods because that might change mic volume levels which sounds like it could be the problem. Sounds like the mic is taking things in at speakerphone levels, which should be adjustable.
Try turning on speakerphone and then off speakerphone, that might reset it.

[REQ]Reducing volume sound

Is there any way to reduce the calling sound of X1? (The speaker on the top of the screen) Mine is so hard, even on the lowest volume. When I set the volume to the highest volume, it is like I have set to hands free. Its really annoying to have the sound that hard, because the people who are next to me can hear the voice of the person who I'm talking with. When I talk a few minutes, I even get a headache.
Why don't you turn off the Speakerphone?
Seriously, I constantly move the phone a bit away from my ear. I can hear it anyway Anyone who can help me with this?
I also suspect that the sound is coming out of the speakerphone and not the earphone. Ensure that hte speakerphone is turned off on your phone while calling. Maybe you've change a setting somewhere? Another reason could be that you are using fring or skype to call.... the calls are diverted to the speakerphone instead of the earphone when you use skype or fring. There is a tweak available to redirect the sound to the earphone. You can also use headphones instead.
Thanks for your reply. I dont use fring or skype. And I know that the sound comes from the earphone. I have tested it by putting my finger on the speakerphone and earphone. The hard sound comes really from the earphone.
Where is the tweak to redirect the sound to the earphone btw?
I have the same issue, and no matter which ROM I've used the earphone minimum volume is just too loud. Maybe there is a registry setting to lower it?
I hope so. Weird that less people have same kind of problem.
hello,
same issue for me....

Headset audio quality on mt3g...Yes, I know about the volume hack

Has anyone found a decent solution for the low volume issue when using a headset on mt3g? I've tried all the meltus audio files but the sound ends up way too distorted. Its loud but it sounds like ****. The DSPManager on CM6r3 helps slightly but not enough. All I want is louder max volume when using a headset.

I am using Chromers 4.4 rom with Meltus audio files v2r2 and "headset boost +in call volume 1". I turned off the DSP thing. It made it all distorted.
I hope this helps, I know you said you tried the files.
I don't know if it's ROM related or not but I don't remember having this problem previously. I'll give the settings you mentioned a try though.

[Q] Galaxy Note's In-Call Volume is Too Low!!!

Hi All,
I hope all is well and you are enjoying the holiday break.
I'm having trouble with my new SGN: the "In-Call" volume is too low.
When I'm on a street or in the car (anywhere with background noise), I can barely hear what a person says when I'm talking on my phone. Headset/Speaker volume is fine and they can also be further boosted by using Volume+ app from the Market but I cannot seem to find any cure for the low In-Call volume.
I did some research online and I noticed someone has posted a trick to solve similar challenge for the SGII by using Samsung Service Code (See below)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dialer *#*#197328640#*#*
[5] AUDIO
[1] HANDSET
[1] VOLUME
[1] SRC Speech RX Volume
[5]5_lvl : 88
Menu -> Key Input
Change to any number greater than 88 (Max:100)
OK
Press back to save.
Default values:
0_lvl: 63
1_lvl: 68
2_lvl: 73
3_lvl: 78
4_lvl: 83
5_lvl: 88
---------------------------------------------------
** I tried the same trick on SGN which I purchased from Amazon but nothing happens when I select option, [5] AUDIO. It will not drill down to next set of sub-menus even if I key in the "5" from the main menu.
Please let me know if anyone else are also experiencing the similar challenges. Thank you very much for your time.
Unfortunately the sound is a big issue here.
Supercurio is working on an app to increase the vol. THis will need root and will work only on with the headset. THis app should be released in the next few days.
I was looking for a solution to increase the speaker volume ( Not quality ) as the speaker sound is low for voice calls.
There is an app called volume+ in the market. You can try it for the speaker.
Hi drgopoos,
Are you saying that you also felt In-Call Volume for SGN is way too low? I am just curious if I have a faulty unit or this issue is concerning all SGN units in general. I did try the Volume+ App from the market and it does boost the volume for Headset and External Speaker but it does nothing to the "In-Call" Volume.

Try moving the entire phone lower onto your ear. I know it sounds obvious, but the speaker is quite high on the device and my volume was low because the speaker was too high on my ear. Once I lowered it (feels awkward) it was much louder.
Anyone else felt the volume on your SGN is way too low or am I going deaf...
Can you recommend a way to remedy this problem?
I know how frustrating it can be when the earpiece speaker isn't loud enough. My nexus one had low in-call volume and it was frustrating. My Note, however, has very high in-call volume on the earpiece speaker! I have to turn it down a few notches for comfort. I'd say you might have a defective unit, or maybe you're holding it wrong like that other guy suggested.
If you're talking about the external speaker being too quiet, the one for speaker phone calls, playing music, ring tunes/notifications, etc., then I agree. I hope Supercurio's working on a fix for that. I'm currently using an equalizer from the market that allows me to turn all frequencies up a few decibels, but at the expense of sound quality.
Mine is loud enough...

The volume is ok with ear peice when i am inside the house and silent.
However outside , when i am walking in the street its to difficult.
Both indoors and outdoors my Note is one of the loudest phones i owned. I can't complain about its ear piece. In fact, i have to lower it 2-3 clicks to be comfortable
Yeah...I got the same problem also...
Indoor works great! but outdoor...oh man....
Earpiece in call volume is good. But, speakerphone in call volume is horrendous! I've tried volume+, equalizer, volume boost, AnEq Equalizer and nothing works! Very sad.
I can't access audio menu [5]. Always loopa me back to main menu. Doea anybody know how to fix that?

Even your speakerphone while in call? That is the one place I really need it because I often use speakerphone a lot while driving or just at home.
the volume its great for me

Actually, my earpiece volume is quite good. Just a suggestion, not meant to insult you, but since the phone is so large could it be possible you are not placing the earpiece properly over your ear?
For those with poor speakerphone volume the ONLY (I've tried at least 4-5) application I found that worked is Audioboost SGS2 (It's 2.5USD in the market) but that's the only one that truly raises EVERY volume. Be careful though I think there might be potential to damage your speakerphone if you raise it too high. I have it right around 88 (highest is 93)
Hope this helps!
My European version of SGN is about the loudest phone i ever had, speaker phone wise. It's also crystal clear! maybe because i was coming from Desire HD, which had kinda awful sound

I want to retract my last statement. Audioboost does raise the in-call speakerphone volume, BUT it effectively ruins everything else. It creates ALOT of static, even at middle volume levels. It was so bad I had to revert the settings and uninstall it. The search continues...

Volume level locked/stuck? (mods please delete!)

Mods please delete, I found the problem it's AudioManager not the system.
FYL21 said:
If I play a game or even use the music app and then plug in headphones, sometimes the volume levels become locked and I cannot even adjust them with my volume rocker. The only way out is a system restart or to use AudioManager.
Is anyone getting this problem?
I can't even change the sound profile!

Hi, FYL.
Seems that only both of us are audio maniacs here. Couldn't reproduce the bug on MaximusHD/Elegance rom, will try also on stock.
By the way, regarding the crackling issues - try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257814
I recently zipped Elegance rom from the android development thread with the sound mod - couldn't hear any zapping or crackling with my RC E160 with beats off.
oh well, I've found that for some reason AudioManager messed up. I disabled it and now it's all good. I'll contact them with regard to it. Mods please delete this thread.
As for the crackling well I haven't rooted my phone (yet anyway). I'm more than happy with the sound on my HTX7 at 14/15 of the volume, though maximum volume still gives a tiny bit of crackling (14/15 is louder than the volume on my HOX+ anyway).

[Q] Top speaker louder than bottom

Listening to music and noticed the top speaker is significantly louder than the bottom. Has anyone else experienced this? Im currently on Pure Shamu 2.6 and am going to restore back to stock to see if that might be the issue, just wanted to see if it might just be my unit.
me as well, looked it up and found your thread
I have noticed that also.
Hi, could everyone that has the nexus 6 with the top speaker that is louder, put there ring tone volume on 100 or 75 and play your ring tones and confirm if you have some distortion with some of the ring tones, kind of sounds like a blown speaker, a raddle like sound, and also make a speaker phone call to see if you hear it as well, don't really hear it when playing music, just on rings and speaker phone at a higher volume
I think I've narrowed it down to Viper sound. I reflashed back to stock and the speakers worked normally. Then i reflashed pure rom and speakers still worked. Gonna test on my next to be sure.
Well I'm on a stock ROM since I bought this phone and I noticed that the top speaker plays louder. It's a bit annoying because I'm the kind of perfectionist person...
