Hey I was trying to fix my twcr a few weeks ago after installing arhd 3.0.1 and ran a script I came across that changed some of the files in my etc/soundimage folder I think it was. Either way since then my sound via headset is horrible. My music plays horrible. In poweramp I ha e to turn the balance knob to the right or left to hear vocals. My in call volume is also garbage via the headset now. It's really low.
I've tried everything I can thi.k of. Ran an old nandroid from months back that had gingerbread. I've wiped the system and did a clean Rom install. And the sound via headset is the same no matter work. I shud point out that sound via speaker is fine.

I know it was a bad idea. I know I shudnt have did it. But I did. Twcr stopped and I had an interview to do that I wanted to record. Panicked. Looked for quick fix. Regret it. Any help wud be greatly appreciated.

Did you wipe the data partition when you reflashed the Rom?
I don't believe I did. I did run superwipe tho so I think that cleans it right?

Yes it does. Changes made to audio through a script do not persist through a complete wipe and fresh install of the operating system. It could be a hardware issue with your headset.
happens on any headset. not sure what happened. not the end of the world but i wish i cud get it working again.
Gonna bump.this and hope someone has any guesses as to what I can do since the forums have been busy lately

Run an RUU?

I've been avoiding that. I did run an old backup and formatted bit the same thing happened. I know the sound works because a notification blows my ear drums out via headset but a call or music sound brutal.

I repacked that file with stock version from our phone and cleaned up the install script so it can run without errors. Try flashing it and see if that fixes your issue. Wipe cache and dalvik.
i believe it may be a hardware issue. if i put a little presure on the jack towards the back and down it works fine. coulda swore this headset worked tho. maybe it got bumped and a connector or something moved.
weird. i ran that and now it works better. its a little touchy if i bump it it does the same thing but i can get the sound normal now. which makes no sense.

Hey, I'm on my 2nd Hero, and this is starting to annoy the hell out of me! Almost every call I have, I can hear my voice a second or two later through the phone. It's like I'm too close to someone while using walkie-talkies. It's highly annoying.
I work in a fast pace job where I need my phone to coordianate people and fast, so when I call them, And I say something, they answer, but I also hear what I just said repeated to me and over them, so It's annoying! Is there any way to fix this? Is this even an issue for anyone but me? Like I said, this is my 2nd Hero, and the 1st did the same thing, so I'm hoping it's not me, and the phone can stop doing it. Thanks for the help.
BTW: Sprint Hero, 2.1 stock HTC rom, running OC Kernel (forgot which one).
I'd like to know this as well because darchs last rom did that for me too? Hmm hardware?
Sent from my Hero CDMA using XDA App
I think so, or a core software component, because I'm on a stock ROM...
just got off the phone, and it did it, not as bad as last night, but still pretty annoying.
is this a known issue?
I've had that happen to me on other phones, but never this one. I always thought it was a signal problem or something, not really the phone
That can happen when your/their phone is tapped.

Since the last month or so I have had a problem with the headset on my O2x. It is NOT an issue with the headset, it works on other devices and also other headsets have the same issue on my phone.
The thing is that the right channel is very, very, very low. Left channel sounds great. I've been running Temasek CM7 with symbi0sis all the time and never ever installed any kind of mod that would mess with sound. I have reflashed rom and kernel several times. I have not gone back to stock because it's such a process, but I will probably do that today or tomorrow.
I have been googling for days now but now I feel I have to start this thread here because I don't see a way of fixing this issue.
Sooo, my question is: does anyone out there have an idea of what I can do?! Please post if you do. I'm desperate at this point.

Get a piece of cloth, wrap it around a small pin and clean out the headphone port with that. Try using a compressed air can before you stick a cloth into your headphone port.
I thought Boom Sound was supposed to be mini speaker loud? I notice the Beats Audio logo but my volume hasn't been spectacular. Is there a setting I'm missing, perhaps?
The example of use:
This morning, the new Man Of Steel trailer dropped and I was attempting to show off to my co-worker but it just wasn't very audible. Only air conditioning was blowing so we were pretty disappointed. You Tube streamed the trailer fine it just wasn't loud. We tried my Play Music and it wasn't loud either.
The HTC One is firmly in the VERY LOUD category.
Too loud in many instances. Have you, like, turned all volume controls up in settings?

It's the loudest smartphone speaker, either your phone is defective or your volume controls weren't all the way up.

I agree with you 100 percent we had an iPhone fanboy I was trying to showed off also and he wasn't impress ...I started another thread you can search for it and people are saying the htc capped the volume on 1.29 update and the 1.27 firmware is the loudest ...ofcourse say that to the htc one fanboy lol ...it amaze me there are dumb people can't understand what you are saying ..oh well you correct tho there are some of us that knownabout these issues on the htc one. ...by the way don't let me get started in the in call speaker volume ..not loud at all... Perhaps we need to flash 1.27..I bought this phone thinking it will blow me away on the volume dept guess not lol

I was wondering the same thing. I have not been blown away by the speakers on this phone. I got the 1.29 update almost immediately after the first boot so there is no way for me to know what it was like before that. Have you managed to find a workaround or a way to go back or enable the full volume of the speakers???
I'm not saying this is the case for everyone, but for me at least my volume and sound quality were both excellent with 1.27 and 1.29. I often put my phone down while playing music and it fills the room. It's still miles better than my friends s4 and zl. I have to think though that even if some are having volume issues (perhaps the notorious QC issues don't just apply to the build quality), at least you're still gaining the huge advantage of stereo vs mono sound

Someplace, and I forget which forum this was in, a guy found the values needed in order to revert the sound back to as loud as before the HTC update. It was in either Faux123s kernel thread, the ARHD thread, or, Trickdroids thread. I'd advise scanning those. The only thing I remember about the post was it said change the values from 40/40 to 45/45 instead of 60/60 like some guy asked if he could do.
Or maybe that video just had very low volume anyway? Youtube video volumes are NOT normalized and if the vid was soft to being with, Youtube will just stick with that max volume. Nothing you can do with it.
Boomsound is advertised to not only be loud, but to be full as well without the screeching highs and nonexistent lows of other devices.
I've seen a couple zips around the forum for BoomSound I havnt tried them yet but I'll see if I can find em and post them here
http://db.tt/ro9I8C1Y BoomSound zip
http://db.tt/XvIHQ5UK improved BoomSound zip
I would backup before trying these so you can restore if it has negative affects or if you want to try both.the improved BoomSound is a little smaller than the first file
I don't remember where i downloaded these from but I think it was arhd forum.
I did not make these mods and take no responibility if anything happens to your phone I just posted here for convenience

doesn't make any difference flashing either one over 4.2.2
The zips contain /system/tfa folder from 1.27.xx builds which were based on 4.1.x hence it reverts to same sound on future 1.29.xx builds when flashed
However, in 4.2.2 these files are different and since we do not have any LOUD firmware from 4.2.2 nothing to replace ...we are stuck with what htc gives

Yeah kinda sucks... Miss my old boomsound volume
Played same YouTube video with my unrooted One and friend's unrooted S4. Louder on S4 even with mine on full volume and front facing speakers. Audio files aren't particularly loud either. Still on 4.1.2. Expecting a little more boom.

Hey guys I got a problem with my HTC One : I'm rooted, S-OFF and installed latest firmware for 4.2.2 (2.24.401.8) ... installed ARHD 13.3 ... everything works fine, but when I make a call, nobody hear me ... I got to go on speaker and then it works. Data works, SMS, etc... I'm a begginer so maybe I just missed a step but everything looks good ... I made all the step explain in Vomers Guide for S-OFF and firmware installation ... took me a while but finally done it. It's the first time it does that... and I installed a lot of Rom before this one.
So before trying an other Rom version (already downloaded ARHD 20.0) ... I just want to be sure that it's not something in my settings...and I would like to know what could make this problem.
People told that when I call them, it sounds like I'm 'in water' .
For sure it's not my case ...It was working before.
Sorry if my english isnt good.
I apologize if it comes out as stupid, but I have to ask, since I myself went through this.
Are you sure you aren't covering the microphone? It's really placed very badly, in the bottom corner, and I often cover it with my right hand during calls which causes people to not hear me out hear my badly.

Thanks for your answer but I tried without the case and changed my hand on the phone, nothing worked... Really weird...

Ironically I heard that from someone today and I'm running stock. Maybe an issue with the voice protocols?
I just read on an other thread that it was a problem with the internal mic of the phone... But it looks like the guy had the same problem as me : he s-off his phone a day ago and mic didnt work after that... Might try to upgrade or install another rom.. I will tell you if it worked

Actually, the S-Off procedure for the Vivid is tricky to do and requires a bit of patience. One thing I got wrong was thinking that one end of the wire was supposed to go through the hole. The hole just marks the position of the ground wire. Once I figured that out, it still took several tries before I got the timing just right.
It really does work, though. I have hardly ever seen anyone having a problem unless they didn't follow some of the directions, like having your system stock to begin with.

Windows is no longer supported. I have heard you can use a boot disk from Ubuntu and set up the files on that. I have a spare hard drive that I keep loaded with Ubuntu for those times that WinDoze doesn't do what I want.
Correct, Windows is no longer supported and it took me 3 or 4 times doing the wire trick before I finally got S-off, but it does work. BTW - I actually still have the ControlBear files for windows that I used to S-off my Vivid. I could email you the zip file if you want.
