[Q] Low Audio on Nexus One

Hello
I got one Nexus One with last oficial update.
When I used the audio cable or the bluetooth the sound is OK, but when I use the phone directly on my ear, the sound is too low... Can anyone help???

cyanogen ROM has the audio boost which makes a world of difference. you really need to just flash a kernel with the audio hack enabled.

But is this a normal problem from Nexus One? Or it´s better to send it to warranty?

Its normal for most of us. I need a ROM/Kernel with the Audio Boost too, but some people say they don't.

I have the same issue since I picked mine up when froyo came out. I deal with it since i don't make many calls. If it is too loud to hear a call I just use speaker phone (maybe adjust the volume and hold it backwards up to my ear even). Bluetooth and speaker phone seem fine. However I am considering loading Cyanogenmod 7 once there is a final build.

You can use the DSP Manager and boost treble, HTC doesn't like bass like nokia

its basically normal. just about all HTC phones come with audio that is too low out of the box. the audio boost hack originally made it so loud that over 50% volume would blow out your ear hole. then they lowered it slightly to make it about perfect.
stock volume will always be low and there's nothing you can do about it without installing the kernel with audio boost.

Many thanks to all!
I will use a cable audio, its the best....
Regards!

Can anyone suggest any 'good' solution? kernel or otherwise to fix this $#@$# 'bug' of low in-call volume in Nexus One??
Would really appreciate all the help!

No sound. Speaker or other component?

Does anyone know if the "no sound from the internal speaker" issue is caused by some other component rather than the just speaker itself?
Sent from my Nook Color using XDA App

Do you have sound from the headphones? Are you using Dalingren's Nook Tweaks to increase DAC- could be blown speaker? Volume + key to the max?
Try a reboot. If that doesn't work, unroot before returning it to store for another unit if under warranty.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm out of warranty. I have flashed back to stock and flashed CM7 from a wipe multiple times. I do have sound from the headphone jack though.

I know this is an older post, but I am having the same issue. The internal speaker seems to be dead. The headphone jack works, and I have tried several different roms trying to resolve it. Has anyone else had this issue, killing the internal speaker? Is there any fix for it?

Something that often happens is that the headphone jack gets mangled, and the speaker cutoff gets stuck. I can't offer specific guidance, but poking gently inside the jack might free things up.
A bright light and knowing what it's supposed to look like inside will help a lot here.

I checked the internal speaker, and it works. The headphone connection also seems fine, and is seldom used. I am wondering if the driver got messed up at some point with a ROM...is there any way to check (and fix) this?

CM9 Sound issues

I'm sure most of you will be aware with the horrible sound issue that plagued webos after the 3.0.3 update where the touchpad would cut all sound without notice if headphones were plugged in or out or if you just looked at the device funny..
On cm9 however, I'm experiencing an issue with the sound that is worse. Whilst watching youtube videos or doing any activity where a sound is played, the speaker often "pops" once in the way you can faintly hear speakers even there is no input, regardless of whether headphones are plugged in or not. From then, the speaker no longer plays any sound of any sort.
Does anybody have a fix for this? I just lose sound randomly and sometimes even a reboot doesnt fix it. I know that CM9 is 'fullofbugs' and that the audio libs are a mess/broken, but I would just like to know if this is a common issue with a known fix! Thanks!

I am experiencing this as well running AOKP M4b28 - it only happens (or as much as I've noticed) when the screen goes to sleep while I have music playing.
Glad I'm not the only one.

I have the issue when the screen is off and volume is >= 50% Never had any sound probs with WebOS that I noticed.
From what I've read, it has been addressed and is a know issue. You've got to remember that this wan't meant to be an Android tablet, there WILL be bugs. They might eventually get fixed but, I'm not one to complain, I've got ICS on a tab that was never supposed to have Android to begin with lol

[Q]-Sound question and camera question

I'm running xron cm7 on my touchpad. I've noticed a few things about sounds that I wonder if it's just a fact of life or something that's fixable. 1-I can't seem to get sound to come from the headphone jack. If I plug something in, sound stops from the speakers but nothing comes out via the jack. 2-If I have an app that plays sounds even with the screen off, it gets this kind of high pitched squeal/feedback. This is happening with music apps and the AmbiSci sound apps. Are both of these facts of life on a touchpad running Android?
Do any ROMS currently allow the front facing camera to work?

Camera still does not work.
To get sound on earphones, plug them in before starting the app you want to listen to. That works for me.
The distorted sounds have been reported by many, I guess I'm lucky, I don't have that problem.

Thanks Chicle I'll try that out. Maybe it's a rom thing for the distorted sound. Which one are you using?

I'm using Cherry Kang, with kupdate kernel. Oc to 1.7 max and 384 min.
Sometimes I use the unofficial cyanogenmod nightlies, when cherry has not been updated for a while.
Unfortunately, the distorted sound has been reported on a bunch of different roms.

I use the nightlies, and before that Alpha2, and haven't had a problem with sound - I watch stuff with MXPlayer, listen to Spotify, and everything, with and without headphones, no problems at all. Currently on the 20120402 nightly, still working great for sound.
As for Camera, well, we gotta wait for HP to release the sources for it, unfortunately. It's not something that's fixable until then. If you need a camera, you gotta use WebOS.

Earphone trick worked great. The sound thing is odd. I didn't get the scratchy sounds when I would plug the headphones in, turn on the AmbiSci app, pull up a sound and then turn off the screen. If I do the same with just the speakers running though, scratchy sounds. Makes me think it could be more hardware related than software.
Well . . this is even weirder. I have the volume down a little low. If I raise up the volume, I hit a part where the squeal starts. That seems strange.

High pitched noise

Hello,
My Optimus 4X HD outputs a strange high pitched Noise from the headphone output. It basically sounds exactly like coil whine from a graphics card would sound like. I tried plugging it into 3 different amplifiers to check if its really my phone or the amp i was using but turns out its my phone (I also tried my brothers ipod on the same amp with the same cable and the noise was gone). I am running the latest nightly of CM11 and have no apps or tweaks installed which would alter anything sound-related. This is really annoying especially when there is no music playing, can anybody help me?

Three ways:
It's a ROM-related issue. This means every CM11's user - at least on our X3 - should experience that: in my case, I'm not experiencing it, yet. You could make a test, by switching to another ROM, checking if the annoyance is still there.
It's a phone-related issue. This means your phone has a manufacturing defect or something got broken.
Your headsets are broken, instead. You could try them on another platform.

I have exactly the same issue, no matter which ROM do I use, gotta live with that

Turns out the cause of this is the crappy audio chip of the LG, it produces interference noises when the impedance of the amp/device you are plugging it into is higher than 100 ohms.. thats also why it doesnt appear when using headphones as those usually have a lower impedance (mine have 32 ohms for example)...
