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!

*Bump*
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
So I have found a new, bizarre issue and need help. I updated my n7000 to the official German ICS rom last week. This week I have been using the video camera. The video and sound seem fine on the phone but as soon as I try to transfer and play them on my computer the sound distorts and creates a whirrrr and terrible electronic hum! What in the world is going on here? I restarted the phone and it has the same issues!
I opened up the video in Final Cut Pro and examined the audio. The audio is very "HOT" and rides in the red the whole time... it seems that it is distorting the signal. I restarted my computer and I am getting the same problem. I listen to the audio on the phone during play back and it is a little more tinny and white-noisy than usual. =(
My last step is to hard reset the phone. But I never had an issue until I loaded the official ICS ROM on it.
Can anyone shed some light???
I'm having an issue with my Nexus One, it doesn't seem to record audio when recording video through the Camera app, all I can hear is a little mechanical noise. The weird thing is, the camera records audio fine when I install another camera app such as UCam Ultra Camera... meaning it must be a software problem right? However, this problem started last week on my N1 with stock ROM (never rooted), and since I started having the problem I thought I would root and flash with CM7.2 but that didn't solve anything.
I hear the phone has 2 mics, one by the charging port and one on the back by the camera. The one on the back by the camera works fine when I use speaker phone or play music, and the one by the charging port works fine because I can make and hear calls. So the microphones seem to be fine to me, but the camera won't record audio!
Anyone have any ideas? Could UCam be using a different mic than the camera app leaving it still a hardware problem? I'm open to DIY, I would like to replace the mic on the back actually because I feel thats the problem, but I can't find one and don't know how to replace it, if anyone has any resources it would be appreciated.
I've searched around, there are many people with this problem, but no answers. Here are three threads that attempted to find solutions, I hope this will be more successful.

I have this problem too, but I have a Samsung Galaxy S3. I flashed a few roms, and somewhere along the line, my camera app has no audio and all I hear is some constant white noise in the background. Exactly as you describe. Other apps' audio and mics work fine. I can't find a solution.
Same issue here with the edition of the mic not working when in speaker phone mode.
I was rooted 4.1.2 tried unrooting relocking and flashing stock but no joy. I think this is a hardware issue
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?
Maybe im just going insane

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'm currently using the carbon rom, but the problem came up with the early kitkat releases. Basically the hd+ speaker seems to work pretty well, but when I plug a pair of headphones / in ear / everything, the audio becomes incredibly bad.
I don't have nandroid backups, sigh. How do I restore the audio out quality?

You could boot into recovery, make a full backup, then try any rom flavor and if you don't like at any time then just restore and continue where you left off. Titanium backup free for quick app restore in any new installed rom if you like it.
Headphones sound normal on cm official feb 4th build. Could be carbon rom.

Thanks, it seems to have worked . If anything bad happens, I'll post here.
Nope, audio problem is still there. I used a pair of big headphones and sound was somewhat better, but when I used the in ear headphones, the bad, noisy quality revealed itself in all its dark magnificence.
So we can somewhat exclude it's a rom related issue, I think.
So the problem did not solve. Any other thoughts?
I had same problem with audio from the phone jack. Made high bitrate mp3 sound like 64kbps stream. I honestly don't know what I did to fix it. I think it was just updating to a newer cm11 nightly build.
hello,i'm experiencing the same problem too.especially when i turn to volume up,i try to fix it using apps like v4a but not a real success so far.i'd like to somehow a fix for this prob.
Hello people. It's somewhat heartwarming to know that there's someone else that has got the same problems. I've, too, tried to fix this with V4A, but without success.
Leapinlar told me that going from jb to kk and getting back can be problematic and we should probably try to wipe system manually (CWM>wipe system).
I'm currently using a Carbon JB ROM. I will try to re-install it today, by performing every single wipe available and report here to let you know the outcome. Wish me luck :silly:
So I did all wipes and installed cm11 but the problem is still there, even wiping system manually. I don't really know what to do

Did you try a different music player? Try something like Rocket Player. Also, maybe you should flash pure stock, just so you can better isolate the problem. If it's still there with pure stock, then it might be a hardware issue. If it isn't there, then you know it's the ROM or some type of app conflict.
I have CM11 nightlies on my HD and notice no audio problems whatsoever. I am pretty picky about audio, love the sound on my HD, and would have gone right back to stock or something else if I found any audio problem with CM11.

NEW DETAILS: sound quality is actually normal. With a pair of headphones I have no problems, BUT when I plug in the stock in-ear earphones from my sony ericsson xperia arc s sound quality lowers significantly.
Being that I study audio engineering and I'm becoming more and more experienced with sound, the sound output is really similar to sound in which there are some huge phase cancellation problems going on.
So the volume of different frequencies lowers significantly as they just get cancelled out of the output, forcing me to raise the volume until I hear a really bad, full of background noise sound.
However, when I use the earphones on my nook, and keep pressed the headset button used to pause/skip tracks or to respond to an incoming call (when I use it on the smartphone), sound goes back to normal! If I release it, sound goes back to being bad.
So, my theory is that when we connect a common TRS connector (like the one used by my headphones) we have no problems with the audio output. However, when we connect a TRRS connector (like the one used by my in-ear earphones), some bad stuff happens, like, bad circuitry stuff.
So I think that the TRRS connector is either not compatible hardware-wise with the nook (wouldn't surprise me, as it wasn't designed to be used as a phone), or the nook software is simply not correctly programmed to handle a TRRS type connector, like the ones used on smartphones

I wonder if your Sony earphones are somewhat proprietary in their wiring. TRRS seems to work fine with a generic pair of Scosche headphones I use on my tablets and Nexus S phone. The button works too, unlike on my 2012 Nexus 7.
Sent from my BN NookHD+ using XDA Premium HD app
I use high end earbuds and Bose headphones, the nook hd+ on cm10.2 or cm11 sounds great. Cleaner than any other android I've used.
Are you at max volume or 2nd to max? Those have been very slightly crackly since verygreen bumped audio gain back in august. those settings are in audio.primary.ovation.so. I edited mine.
I don't use my nook as a phone, seems ridiculous.
