So I have recently bought some 50/50 Skullcandy earphones, they are pretty expensive so I want to get the most out of them. Most everything is functional, the only things that don't work are the volume control and the mic. The volume control is made for Apple products so I'm not that concerned about it. However the mic is not working and I was wondering what I could do. Is there a driver I can install or is it my rom?
I am running MikShift v1.1,
bcnice20's 1.51 kernel
pls help
My skullcandy inked headphones have a mic and they work flawlessly with my setup.

I'm going to try my headphones on one of my friends iphones, you are also running miui. I am running a sense rom I think that has to do with it

I'm on miui right now, but havnt always been. When I was on stock it worked fine. Never tried mikshift though as aosp is soooo much faster and smoother. Give it a try, you'll never go back.

Miui 1.4.29 make sure and download bcnice's kernel off kernel manager and flash it if you want amazing battery life and a smooth as butter experience.

Hi guys, I'm running Darky 9.3 (don't know if that's relevant or not)
I've searched the forums (and the web) but couldn't find any mention of this. When I listen to music on my Galaxy S using headphones it sounds amazing, full stereo, really clear. When I use the external speaker its lovely and loud... but recently when listening to The Beatles I realised that it was only playing the left channel through the speaker (I assumed it would have been both left and right combined).
Now anybody who knows the early Beatles music and the massive stereo separation will realize this means I couldn't hear the drums/guitar/vocals depending on the track.
I tried the same song with headphones... perfect.
I tested this using both the stock Samsung music player and mSpot... the same with both.
Anybody else know about this?
Have to be honest this is just one of reasons i stoped useing custom roms as at some point i find issues i now use stock js8 its fast and reliable but i do wish you luck in finding answer

The last two answers are just for fun or you guys don't understand english? He is talking about the sound through thephone's speaker!

Yeah i was just about to say... cable?
I only mentioned the Rom as I don't know if that's the cause or not. But yeah.. through headphones? music is fine... through external speaker? ...only left audio channel.
With most modern music you can get away with it to be honest as usually the vocals bass and drums are mixed to the centre... but with older stuff? you miss half the music!
rather annoying...
It is one channel. Voodoo sound fix can force mono which fixes it mate. Comes with 9.3
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
It is pretty much industry standard (and I don't just mean the mobile phone industry) that when representing Monoural audio, you use only the left channel! as mentioned, software mixers exist, but I would not be surprised if the stock rom did the same.

hmm.... I'd have tested the stock rom if I'd realised about this in time. There's no way I can be bothered re flashing my phone... testing it... flashing it back and then going through all the hassle of setting up again. urgh. lol
I wonder if there's anybody who has a strong-stereo separation music track they can test who's on stock? is it two-channel mono? or just the left channel?
Thanks for the answers so far guys
Go into voodoo settings and choose force mono. I get 2ch audio

EDIT: Never mind I found it. Works great, thanks!
Just have to remember to turn it back to stereo when i put headphones in. But at least I can listen to The Beatles when I'm in the kitchen now on the built in speaker. Cheers!
Mod please delete per our conversation. Thank you
Is it possible it may work on other roms? Either way this is awesome thanks!

I tried it on a broken beats Rom - Joelz TwoPointThree 3.5.
It flashed, the boot initially took a little longer but I went to try it and no sound. Should I try a different player instead of stock or a different Rom? I was thinking of switching to ICS momentarily because Newts 3.5 has gone broken on me.

Just flashed this on a new flash of the official CM 7.1. I haven't had any trouble with music playing or clipping. Just pure sound. Albeit I did not do a comparison so I cannot say if I hear a difference in quality but I am happy with it and will continue to flash it.
What is really Beats by Dre? Sorry

well if the rom didnt have working sound before its not going to give it to it now. so i guess it needs to be cm7
Can someone else confirm that this works on another GB incredible build???

Can i get a link to the original post? I dont feel like making an account on another site just to get a file.
edit: nm with googles help i found the file, i can confirm it works on miui
Joelz new 3.5 had a broken beats file allowing it to not work. Now I switched to cm7, listened to the music first. Very shotty headphones (ifrogz) as my latest earphones died on me.
The sound was eh.. flashed this beats zip and came back to hear it, the clarity and quality increased so much. Should note there is a tolerable difference when not using headphones as your speaker phone may actually sound like bass. Well at least I can gear it, I will try it on Joelz 3.5 again. Cause there is no notification or anything say it works its difficult to pinpoint if it only works on stock players or various ones.
I am hopefully getting new earphones tonight, JVC Xtreme Explosives is what I'm looking at.

I've been using this mod since I saw it on the portal the other day. (or twitter. I can't remember)
It really does make quite a bit of a difference. For you guys trying it out, use nicer headphones. The difference is marginal on $15 skullcandy buds, but on high end speakers, it's really noticeable. Definitely worth the flash.

May i send to my ladies phone, sir? I have tested side by side with same phone using same ROMs (CM7 newest nightly) using 115 by Treyarch (yes the Black Ops zombie song) and quite a noticeable difference. Also not sure, but I had tested started with volume at 50% and my phone with the zip was louder by 2 notches (decreased volume to regulate) and her phone at 100% was to mine at 80%. I do not use DSP manager as I get a weird noise from it after any sound from speaker ends. Anyone else experience similar volume performance?
The recent 905 update appears to have fixed the insanely loud earbud call volume problem l was having. But I am itching to get off of stock. I've tried eclipse 2.2 and 3.0 as well as kin3tix. All still too loud even after 905 update. Stock is the only one that fixed it and I still have to have it all the way down. Does anyone know of a ROM that has dealt with this issue? Has anyone else had this issue? Haven't tried Liberty yet.

Have you tried applying the Dre's Beats Audio with it. I haven't tried it yet with anything other then Eclipse 3.0 and headphone audio been great.
I thought Beats audio was included in the builds. Headphones sound great and volume adjustment is fine in everything except in call. Whenever I make a call I can't keep the earbuds in my ears unless I want ruptured eardrums.

What's the difference between d Dr Dre Beats Audio and the beats audio cwm installer? The .zip installer sounds like it may gut the stock sound defaults. May be a good thing. What do you think?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Thanks for the advice about beats audio. I installed the cwm installer version from Google Play Store. Seems to have worked. Call volume is much lower. I'm back on Kin3tix Theory rom with Honeyscream theme. Highly recommend it BTW. Great looking rom, fast too. I like it a lot more than eclipse 3.0 even though it's based on an older bionic build. Thanks again for steering me in the right direction. Now if only I could get Swype to work on my Kindle Fire.

The CWM version is the only one I would use along with a eq app from playstore to enhance the audio 150% more then stock. The CWM version does replace some lib files in the rom with a inhanced version. None of the roms have it included so it is a good idea to keep the zip file on hand for when you change roms. I just took to plung and installed bootstrap for the first time, always used safestrap, and installed the update through it. Playing Pandora couldn't be any better then this. You don't need to get it from the Playstore its avaible through the forums I beleive under Themes.

Glad to see it worked out for you. Yes I do beleive KIN3TIX is a awsome rom as well, its stupid fast. I just wished DT would come back to work on our devices, but what can one do.
What are the differences between Paranoid and PAC?
Also anyone on either have some good tips to get call audio working? its really quiet and no headset mic works. I have fiddled with a bunch of build.prop settings and once had a decent setup but striving for stock sound got it borked again.
TY in advance
Both builds have in call volume problems as far as choosing a decent rom i would choose holics or wcx rom. Both are bug free and very good audio. But if ur itching for pac or paranoid i woild flash the viper audio witch will increase all volumes EXCEPT in call volume sorry. Our devs are working hard as to find a fix for these ongoing problems. Hoped i helped with ur decision.

Helped some, except I am already hooked on Paranoid lol.
It got me away from WCX, actually first one nice enough to get me off sense through 2 phones and a whole lot of flashing. and well I cant find the wcx site anymore but anyways. Viper audio is nice. Bluetooth works pretty good for calls at least.
Well to be honest im havimg flashing issues so i cant try nt new. Im on cm10 and not much of a fan. Its nice looking am thats it. Poor battery life horriable sound low incall need i say more? Lol i cant find any one that can solve my issue not even 3 dev fiends of mine can figure it out . Anyways i havmt tried paranoid but seen screenshots and benchmarks. Pac is ok i geuss but holics and wcx are the most battery efficient, stable, fast ,and for the most part bug free. If u lime paranoid i would stick with that since pac isnt all that

I've looked all over for a solution to make the speakers louder on 4.2.2 but no luck . When I got the phone it seamed loud but now I can't hear people when making calls in the car. I've tried beats off all different volumes and all the crap apps but still it's no louder than my note. I've read that HTC have lowered the volumes on 4.2.2 is there any way to get the volume back and make the speakers louder. Please don't respond by saying your phone is loud enough as mine isn't!!
Thanks
There is a zip to make it really loud again.

Both are correct. HTC has lowered the volume repeatedly in their upgraded firmwares. The man who said his is still loud is most likely still running old >1.26 FW.
Now, as of a way to raise these volumes im not quite sure how to do this through file editing (Maybe the zip in post #2 or #3 works, idk, if your in dire need, nandroid and flash it) BUT if youre up to flashing a kernel (assuming youre running 4.2.2 and are on sense) you can flash Tbaldens Performance Kernel (in Orig. Android Dev. section) and that will give you options to boost volumes on multiple fronts. I can confirm this works myself, as i use this feature actively and dont experience any crackling or popping. If you decide to download this kernel, youll need Trickstermod Kernel Control app from the Play Store to edit the values.
(Lol, seems like alot but i promise its not. Plus you get extra sweet features like USB Fastcharge, and Overclocking and all that jazz with the kernel. Its worth it)
