When I make a call the front speak doesn't work, there is no sound. But when I activate the back speak the sound will work from there. I've tried doing a factory reset and that didn't help. Anyone have any suggestion on fixing this?
Also when I try to play the MP3 playing through the phones speakers there's no sound. In the sound settings when adjusting the volumes it'll preview the ringtone and alert sounds but not the media ones. It looks like the sound on all apps, media and phone calls (not though the speakerphone) aren't working.

I found the answer, apparently I was using a skullcandy apple headphone jack that came with my ski helmet. It messes with the phone jack and makes the phone think the headphones are still plugged in.
I'm not sure how to delete the post. Please ignore it.
I have went in with Root Browser to system/media/audio/ui and renamed WirelessChargingStarted.ogg to .bak but the problem is is the sound that plays when charging starts is different than that sound that I renamed. I can not find the sound that it plays anywhere!
Another problem is that I did the same to the Full Battery sound (when plugged into a normal charger) and when I get a full battery a completely different sound will play. I can rename all of them in the directory and the phone will find something to play in its place.
Anyone know what is going on?
Replace the files with a silent audio file and rename them to match the original names... I use g3 tweaksbox to disable the other wireless charging sound(i have no idea why there is 2 diff sounds for wireless charging) that way when it plays the sound it's playing a silent audio track.
Edit:
In g3 tweaksbox you have to disable the wireless charging notification.... That's where the other sound comes from

I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S5 (G900A) where my video recordings are noisy.
Even in the quietest of conditions I hear this hissing sound in the background in my videos that I record using my phone camera.
I've searched the web and found out that I'm not the only one, but I can't seem to find any solution to it.
I've cleared the cache partition, the phone isn't wet...
Any suggestions? Such an expensive phone with such a big problem...
I want to try this hack to enable stereo sound on the phone but I am not sure if it's for the ATT version and if it'll work with the current ROM (stock, rooted Android 5.0.0 rom)... is there a similar thing available for my phone here? Or am I safe to try this hack?
Well, that hack works... I now have stereo sound (or something resembling it... now plays music through both speakers) but that didn't help with the camera thing...
I was kind of thinking that the hack had to do with microphones and not speakers... had to read more into it.... but the hack is still nice lol
I've read online of people fixing the issue by using a pin to clear the holes in the case where the microphone is... well I tried that (using the dull edge of a needle) and now the recording is much louder but the noise still exists (this hissing).
The top speaker in my One M7 has been blown for quite some time, due to me working around metal particles. It's making a horrible noise when audio is played through it, and I'd just like it to be off.
I have just recently rooted my phone, and now I'm looking for an app that has the option to disable one speaker, or to transfer the sound volume to just the bottom speaker. I've looked around on google, but I have not found any good results. Can you guys recommend me an app, if it exsists? Any other suggestions are also welcome!
Hmmm not sure, I'd just replace it. Its an easy operation.
I'm pretty frustrated trying to figure this out. I have rooted my US Verizon - variant of the Galaxy S8 (G950U) with SamPWND.
Step 1) After root, I tried installing Viper mod. In the past with other phones, I always just installed the ARISE sound AROMA 2.94 installer as it does a lot of the work for you like installing the audio effects conf file in the right folder (/system/vendor/etc). So I ran the installer, and on next reboot, noticed Spotify Eq was using Samsung's built in SoundAlive equalizer. I forgot to freeze it first but did it anyhow in Titanium. Now spotify is using Viper. Sound quality sounds like crap.
Step 2) Factory reset and start over, this time using the method mentioned in the SamPWND thread which can be found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/development/samsung-galaxy-s8-root-snapdragon-t3659305
- That thread points to this Viper install guide for the S8: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...laxy-s8-s8-t3596933/post72049061#post72049061
As the guide mentions, I followed the steps by first freezing SoundAlive, copying the zip's audio conf file to /system/vendor/etc, then installing viper apk. Since our bootloader is locked, as I expected, the step to install Magisk fails, so then I simply restarted and opened viper. Sound quality is still crap.
So in either case, I know that Spotify is now using Viper mod for sound eq. I even went into Samsung's audio settings in Settings and it gave me a popup to use viper. I can listen to bluetooth and while the song is playing, change the viper eq and here a difference.
I noticed by default, Viper comes with Dolby, which is ON. I always turn this to off and notice that the sound is better. Dolby seems to overload the sound for me (sounds overpowered and almost at times like it's cutting out). Still, I'm noticing that the bass is solid when mids/highs don't have much activity but gets distorted when guitar really kicks in. Mids sound muddied and tunnel - like . Highs are tinny.
Normally, Viper mod with stock eq settings with all my other phones *always* sounds better than stock. Even with the eq at default and turning off any gains or gain controls / volume normalization, sound quality is still poor.
On bluetooth (I'm using my Sennheiser momentum wireless which are upper tier), when turning off Dolby, Spotify's normalize volume setting, the quality is near where it should be. But, in my Audi with Android Auto over USB, sound continues to be really horrible...I think the bass in the car and larger speakers are pointing out the distortion more. I have to also manually set my volume before running it in the car or else the head unit sound level is too low and I have to blast the volume knob which makes it sound worse.
Any ideas? What am I missing and are you experiencing the same?
So I have a SM-G955U, and I just installed Viper4Arise. I used the latest ZIP from the official V4Arise thread and flashed it using FlashFire. Make sure to check mount /system read/write and leave reboot enabled.
Also, I used the installer to remove SoundAlive.

Thanks man.
I noticed dolby was on by default. Turned that off and also turned off normalize volume in spotify. Sound is a lot better and no longer over loaded, though I think it might need more tuning. Now I'm wondering if install method matters at all

Good to hear! Yea, I turned off volume normalization as well. I don't normally install Dolby, so I haven't had to do that one.

APK? I flashed this zip in the FlashFire "recovery" mode. I didn't have to install any APKs.

Yeah, there is a separate 18th thread with an install zip which contains the audio effects conf and viper apk inside

How are you testing sound quality? I'm fine with the sound over Bluetooth headphones (sennheiser momentum, pretty good ones). But in my Audi, over android auto using usb, the vocals are still a bit harsh. Sub is cleaner now after a ton of adjustments. Vocals still are harsh on the "s" sound. With my previous pixel phone in this car, sound was way better and didn't need so much work

You can open the status menu in the Viper4Arise app to see if it is processing, other than that, I am listening to it. I know what my Pixel sounded like with V4Ar, and it sounds the same to me. All that being said, I have to use BT to connect to the Sync in my Mustang since I only have Sync 2, which doesn't support Android Auto.
How does Android Auto work? Is the music playing from your phone, or is the car stereo controlling? I know you can connect an Android phone as a USB drive.

Yeah, processing wasn't the issue, and that's why I don't know if the install method matters. I definitely know it's doing something because I move the knobs with bluetooth stream and hear the sound act differently.
With Android Auto, I hook up my phone to the USB port built into the car. Then the phone says Android auto in black and white, and the car display shows the interface for music players, maps, etc.
When auto is up, I can't change the sound settings dynamically since the screen is black. I think if I open viper before the car and have the notification always show, I can load it...but then it's loading a separate instance of the app, not the main one.
I had to really change the bass settings on my phone *and* the car (normally don't have to) to make the bass not distort. The audi's stock sound is junk. I got a nice JL Audio amp installed and a 600W JL Audio woofer.
With the pixel, in the car, I had the bass dial in the audi set to one two notches above mid way and the treble down 4 notches. Now, with the rooted s8, I'm having to dial its bass setting down 2 notches from mid (instead of up) and instead turn up the bass knob on the JL Audio woofer just a hair. Anything else and it distorts.
Out of the box, the Pixel just sounded great to me. I don't know why the S8 is taking all this work. Even with my note 4, I didn't have this issue of having to tweak the hell out of it.
