Hi. This is the first time I am posting on XDA. I have n7000 and was on stock ROM till some time back and recently tried 3 ROMS (PA, Carbon & PacMan). On all these 3 ROMS, I have faced 2 common issues:
1. While talking through car bluetooth, the sound volume is fine for some time and then it suddenly drops for the other person while I can hear them loud and clear. This was never an issue with the stock ROM.
2. While having a call using car bluetooth, the system hangs if I use the keypad while on a call.
I have faced the above issues on the 3 ROMS listed above. I tried searching for this problem but couldnt fine any thread on this. Currently, I am on PA 3.67. Please help.
Thanks...

Hello all,
I've been using CM7.1 and 7.2 Temasek's KANG for quite some time now, and it's working great.
I do have one annoying problem: when I use Navigon and enter a route, I get voice directions. After the voice stops speaking, you can hear the speaker being for a few seconds (hissing noise) and then the speaker shuts off. No problem there.
However, at random the speaker starts making (quite loud) 'popping sounds' at random intervals. The voice isn't trying to say anything at that time. Often it pops 3-4 times in a row, then it's quiet for several minutes.
If I use DSP Manger and select either option (enhance bass or the equalizer), then the 'popping'-sounds changes into a soft (old dial-up) modem-kind of sound. It's not very loud but you can hear it. It usually stops by itself, or it stops after so turn the volume up/down - and then it stops because of the 'beep' the speaker makes when changing the volume, not because of the volume change itself.
This does not happen on stock firmware. So it seems Navigon is 'leaking' sound somehow and with stock firmware that 'leaking' is just ignored and with CM it is turned into one sound (popping) or the other (modem-like). Since it can be affected with the DSP Manager, I'm also hoping there is some solution that can be applied or some work-around. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Do you still have the problem - or found a solution for it?
Im using mapfactor navigator and get all 3-4seconds a noisy sound, sometimes also in other apps. Somewhere i read its because 2 apps are using the sound chip, but i don't know if the problem is caused by cyanogenmod 7.2 or hardware issue :/ Im using android since 6 days and the first i did was flashing cyanogenmod
No, I'm sorry, I haven't found a solution. It does seem to be related to CM 7.2 however, I didn't have this on stock.
Hello fellas,
I just installed ICS from this link
The sound works fine when playing music or notifications or whatever I do.
But when I'm making or receiving a call, my sound doesnt work. My phone doesnt ring or hear it ring when making a call and nor can they hear me at all.
The only way I can make a phone call is through bluetooth which makes me think that the speaker on the phone isnt configured correctly.
If the ROM is the issue which rom do you recommend for my DROID 3?
Thanks for your help!
This is known issue people are experience with CM9, Gummy, and AOKP. MotoBlur + Android 4.0.4 is based of AOKP inheriting its issues. Usually a restart or two fixes the issue, but it is somewhat random. I believe the issue involves bluetooth but I guess no one really knows. I heard toggling bluetooth sometimes fixes it as well.
However you say it doesn't even ring, I have never had it not ring. But have experienced the rest.
Tried that
I've tried restarting several times, doing it again as I type.
When I've also tried to toggle bluetooth off during a call but it didnt work.
Should I reinstall the ROM?
Ok so I deleted all data and cache.
Re-installed the ROM again and it turns out that bluetooth is messing with my in-call sound. My phone rings now (by default there was no ringtone selected) but when I toggle bluetooth on I cannot hear anyone or anyone hear me.
Band aid: Keep bluetooth turned off until it gets fixed.
Thanks for your help Senate9690.
Is there a different rom out there for Droid 3?
About that band-aid
I run into a the no sound on calls as well. I'm running ICS and have always left the Bluetooth off. For me it seems to happen occasionally after I interrupt music/audio playback by removing the wired headphones from the jack or incoming call.
Just flushing the cache and rebooting letting the cache rebuild seems to fix it without the need to a re flash or factory reset. It is good to hear I'm not the only one experiencing the issue.
I ran into that issue with cm9 (selfkang) as well. Usually just toggling bluetooth off did the trick, and when it didn't, rebooting always worked. The sound issues were only in-call related, and notifications/ringtones worked just fine. I switched to Axiom and aside from the know in-call issues, toggling bt off works perfectly without rebooting.
In my opinion, Axiom is an excellent rom. My only drawback is the amount of battery sucked dry when the screen is on/keyboard out, however under very minimal use it has lasted well into the next day. Hash's original cm9 has prevailed as the battery king in my ICS D3 testing, but Axiom has made me a happy camper. I didn't spend much time with Gummy or the original AOKP though. That's the beauty in rom choices; different strokes for different folks

A lot of Android phones are having this issue. Try this app and see if it works. The Pro version lets you route sound during phone calls too!

Bluetooth Share?
Hi,
This is my first post, but I have encountered an issue similar to this before. I work for a company that makes Bluetooth headsets, primarily for truckers, and this is a fairly often related experience. I would describe it as "dead air" on a phone call. Often, if the headset supports it, the A2DP stream will be fine. I don't know why, or where we found this from, but we have found that often if a user goes into their application settings, to "All" apps, there will be an app there titled "Bluetooth Share". Sometimes there is more than one, but only one with show an amount of data. Going into this, clearing that data, then restarting the phone has been reported to help resolve this issue.
Try it, and see what happens. Not just Motorola phones do this either, but it seems to be associated with Android 4.0.x and up.
Thanks,
Alex.
I belive this rom has a bug where the speaker/earpiece doesn't work if Bluetooth is on.

Make sure bluetooth is off
Hello,
I'm using the Boype's modded CM7 [26-08-2012].
I have a very annoying problem:
Sometimes the phone becomes silent. Only the vibrator still works. If you answer the call, you hear nothing and the caller cannot hear you.
I have the feeling this problem has something to do with the bluetooth because it happens (to be checked) after I have received a call in my car (with a car head free Parrot CK3100).
Do you have the same problem?
Philippe
Yes

Have you noted any relation with the use the bluetooth (in your car)?
It is very strange that nobody reported this problem before.
If someone has a solution to prevent it to happen ...
Q&A [GB 2.3.7] boype's modded CM7 09-SEPT-2012
Hello,
I'm currently using the boype's CM7 of 2012-SEPT-09.
The problem with the bluetooth/phone silent is still present and reproducible:
- pairing always works (with my blueetooth hands free is a Parrot CK3100)
- I can call or can be called when the phone is paired
- If I pick up a call when the phone is paired, then afterwards (when I have left the car and the phone is no more paired) I have problem when receiving a call: the phone rings but If I pick up a call, I cannot hear the caller and the caller cannot hear me.
There is an improvement compared to the previous release: with the previous release, the phone became completely silent. Now it rings ...
It is a very annoying problem
Philippe
Hello,
Just to say that I have installed the last Boype's CM7 of 2012-SEPT-16 and still the same problem with the Bluetooth.
On the other hand, no sod for the time (after 2 days) yet.
This problem with the Bluetooth is very annoying because I have to reboot the phone each time I leave my car (if I have received a call during the travel).
Can someone report this problem in the main post (in development) because I can't.
Philippe
After 4 days, no sod still.
This last release has a very good battery drain compared to the previous release.
It is unfortunate this Bluetooth problem exists. It happens every day.
I have been using Atrix HD MB886 -unlocked- in India for nearly an year now
But Since CM11 M7 build - i have been facing wierd battery drain and problems with Audio(earpiece,speaker and headset)
I then flashed factory image
MB886_att-user-4.1.1-9.8.0Q-97_MB886
and also got updated to
98.4.20.MB886.ATT.en.US (latest OTA)
But the audio problem is still there
Ever since, the speaker sound and all the system sounds, including ringtones, call volume, etc go off by themselves randomly, so I can't hear anything when the phone rings, If by chance I pick up a call while in this state, I can't hear a word the person on the other side utters, but that person does hear me clearly.
Restarting the phone,the sound works perfectly, until for some unknown reason it goes off, and I have to repeat the whole process.
Reading through forums on the web, some people who have had the same problems report improvements and some very few even report having obtained solution to this persisting issue after installing the app "SoundAbout" from google play store. But no use for me.
I have tried nearly all ROMS for Atrix by now - but no relief.
Any fixes., ????!!!!!
im having the exact same problem with my atrix. Tried multiple roms incuding flashing back to stock. I assumed it was a hardware issue but restarting the phone fixes it. Iv also noticed sometimes the sound comes back by itself after a while, even without a reboot. I played songs with the audio muted for a continuous 8hrs and the sound was fine all the while. Anyone else have the same issue or possible reasons what might be causing this..???
HW problem
Hi, this is most likely a hardware issue.
I had same problem sometimes. When I hit the phone, at the top (not furiously), it started working again.
Most likely loose connection with speaker terminals.
you can open it and pull the speaker connectors.
Hi guys, i have a m7 tmobile version, i had it like months using Slim and had no problems, but lately i tested other roms like lineage and xenon, even slim and some calls i cant hear it anything, like 2 out of 10 get the sound and the rest doesnt, what can i do? i've read some solutions with play services but it didnt work, i flashed a radio image too and still no solution, please if anyone of you had this problem or what can i do, thnx
If you are using an Android N Rom, you should know about the speaker call bug. If you have the speaker active and end the call with speaker active there is no sound in the next call. Solution: Disable speaker before ending the call. Or reboot your device everytime you used the speaker.
