So guys, i searched for this problem in several threads but nothing seems to help me to solve it.
Here is the problem.
Since i rooted my Htc One (E 11) i noticed that i can't use the max volume on CM/AOSP/PA roms because my speakers begins to sound distorted (like the audio is overpumped).
I made several tests with different roms (no audio mods indeed) but the result was the same.
Someone suggested me my HTC speakers were damaged but i think it is impossible because when i use a Stock based rom (ViperOne, Elegancia, Revolution HD etc.) my speaker are simply PERFECT at max volume, even if i use Sound mods.
I really would like to know what is the problem and IF i can solve it because i would love to use CM/AOSP/PA Roms...not only stock.
Thank you.

I have the same issue running 4.3. I keep mine turned down a little, so it's not distorting, and still seems loud enough. I think these roms actually allow the sound to be much louder. But I could be wrong, I'm not a dev or anything
Thanks for your answer. At least I know my speakers are ok ahaah

HI All,
I've noticed for some time now that before I flash a new ROM, when I go back to stock JF6 the audio in the boot up screen will blow your doors off. After flashing CWM, the audio is there but it is must less pronounced. I've also noticed that while using the speakerphone or the earpiece during regular calls, I struggle to hear the caller on the other end. It's fine before I flash CWM.
Anyone run into this before and if so, what can be done about it?
Thanks in advance!
Dan
I too have been wondering about the volume. I thought it was the rom I was running. I'm currently on phoenix 4.5 with firebird 2 v0.7 kernel. It seems like my volume is lower when I call another cell but fine if I call a land line.

i noticed this too. i use speakerphone alot, and it IS quieter now i use custom roms, and i use speakerphone MORE NOW because the earpeice is hard to hear.
Fix for Low Ear Peice abd Speaker Volume
I am not a programmer but I was wondering with all the talent on this site why is it impossible to have a fix for the terrible in-call volume the Captivate has. I have tried the settings in the service menus, but havent seen anything worth while.
Non of those settings stay past a reboot anyway.
The phones hardware is able to output the louder sound, I dont understand why we cant fix the low in-call volume on the earpeice and the speaker phone?
HELP!!!!!!
this post beat you by a few hours and is a little more specific/accurately worded (your post isnt a fix)

Thread merged with a similar one. I think the poster above U is asking a question (interrogative icon) and not stating he is posting a fix.
Cheers,
I noticed that it's CWM that is killing the audio (for me at least) before I flash a new ROM.
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!
Hi Everyone,
I am having an issues with my new HTC One.
Recently i bought a pair of Jaybirds Bluebuds X wireless headphones and the sound quality from my HTC One is awful (tested on my PC and the sound quality is great using that).
I have done some research and it seems that the bluetooth stack is the issue. I'm not overly knowledgeable on android drivers and such but ive heard it has something to do with a low Bitpool number that is streaming the audio in a much lower quality than it should be.
Nexus users are having the same issues, however the fix they use (replacing some files with earlier Android versions) works for them but they arent compatible with the HTC One.
Anyone able to help me, i love this phone and i really dont want to sell my new headphones because of this
Thanks.
No one else has encountered this?

Did you try replacing those 2 files in /system/lib/hw? Worth a shot. Unfortunately, I don't think many people notice the lower bipool. Therefore, Google really doesn't care. Also, from what I understand just raising the bitpool can cause stuttering for some devices. Google figures more people will notice stuttering than clipping in high frequencies. It is annoying, it kept me off of 4.2 until a dev fixed it, and about to push me off of 4.3.

I tried replacing the files, but it just broke the Bluetooth decoding of music files.
Although, last night i flashed CM10.2 and it fixed the issue for me.
Their are one of two small clicks and pops when a track starts but other than that the quality is superb.
Also i am REALLY enjoying CM10.2. Dont get me wrong, i loved Trickdroid, but CM10.2 has alot of really nice options and tweaks.
TL;DR - Flash CM10.2 to fix this issue until HTC fixes it via official drivers.
I installed the CyanogenMod by Maclaw - " Jellybean 4.2.2 (CyanogenMod 10.1) 20130826 "
The audio has changed somewhat now for me. I've noticed that for some individuals the audio is so low it's hard to hear what they say if there is any ambient noise. However, this is only for some of them. For instance, when I talk to my brother in law I can hear without a problem.
Still, overall the audio has dropped, for some contacts quite significantly. And I do have maxed the audio, checked what settings I can think of too.
Is this fixable in some way? Can't find anyone with this problem that got it fixed
Sincerly,

Thanks you SO very much for that link! :good: It changed for those that was too low, but the ones that had a decent volume level was kept at that. So now I can once again hear what they say!
Well, this just sucks. It didn't change anything at all. It turned out to be only in-calls that had low volume, and it still does.
Also, noticed today that when I make a call and the audio is good, and then turn on loudspeaker it goes really low. Quite annoying..

i would recommend that next time you spend a bit more time reading up on posts before using a ROM
you should possibly considering moving to one of the stock based custom ROM's

stock base custom rom aren't anyting like cyanogenmod. they are buggy, each developer changes the look of it the way he likes it. i don't like most of them. i know what i say. tryed all of them. used Dmod V5 a while, and then it totally fu...ed it up in last version.
i got used to the problem. waiting for a fix from maclaw or oliver.
I’ve been using AOSP ROMs pretty much the whole time I’ve had this phone so I can’t remember how audio quality was on global stable.
About 2 months ago I got sick of audio static at low volumes, so I switched to xiaomi.eu. The problem remained, so I thought I’d wait for MIUI 10 but the problem is still there on the latest beta build.
I tried a bunch of fixes from XDA but none of them worked, so I’ve just been putting up with it. Apparently China MIUI has superior audio to Global, but I loaded the config file from the China ROM which didn’t work. And doesn’t xiaomi.eu use the China ROM anyway?
A bunch of old reviews say that the Mi 5 has crystal clear audio, so I really want to figure it out. I have tested it with a bunch of headphones and the issue is always there -- even using FLAC audio files.
Has anybody else had this problem and managed to fix it?
Edit: I should add, this is only through the 3.5mm headphone jack. The speaker sounds fine.
Using non MIUI roms I've found out that static/background noise is lower after turning every "audio improvement" off.
Other than that really can't help...

Yeah I noticed that too. But still, I couldn't never get it to sound very clear. Thanks for that though.
