[Q] Low audio in calls with CyanogenMod

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

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.

Speaker Volume Changing

Speaker Volume starts loud then decreases. This happens when playing any media through speakers. I've tried different roms and the issue continues to persist. Has anyone else had this problem. Any feedback or solution would be greatly appreciated.

its a mostly aosp bug, you are missing files. itll be there until your roms fix the issue.

In having the same issue.
This occurs on stock and custom roms so if it's a bug then it's effecting stock too.

Just got my phone and i have the same sad issue.... When i play music through the speakers and turn the vol all the way up its loud then immediately fades to low volumes.
I cannot get a constant play of any media at full volume
I am completely stock unrooted
Any solutions? Or should I send this thing back?

do you know how to fix that ? any link to a commit or sth. ? building omnirom for myself, and i wasn't able to figure the problem out...

I have the same issue on CM12. Couldn't comment on stock as I used it for all of 10 mins.
Seems there is some kind of audio normalization service running in the background. Doing a pretty crappy job of it.
Software issue it seems. I'm surprised there haven't been more reports of this. Its getting quite annoying. Finally I have front facing speakers on my phone and what does it do? Lowers the volume to half.

if u can identify the service, cant we just shut it down or prevent it from running which does this horrible stuff
also I have noticed it happens at lower battery level not when its more than 50%

Noticed it today for the first time while playing a game

Just had this freaky thing happen to me today, for the first time since I've had the phone which I have had for over 2 months now. Stock and unrooted. It did not do it to me before today that I ever noticed so I don't know what to make of it. But I hope it may be software related but who knows.

I ended up RMA'ing my device and the new one doesn't do this on the stock ROM or third party (tested SlimLP) so I am thinking it might be more of a hardware issue. Will check to see if my 64GB MB does this as well, but so far the replacement phone has fixed this annoying issue and volume stays the same while playing youtube video's / music.
RMA was painless dealing with Motorola direct, even though I bought the phone through AT&T, and with Advanced RMA it only took over the weekend (RMA started on Friday afternoon) and the device showed up today. Couldn't have been more pleased with the ease of this.

Try viper 4 android. It fixed my volume issue.

I thought I was imagining this when it happened a few times, then I was blaming poor quality music streams but evidently there is an issue. It also happens occasionally with my headphones.

Did anyone find a fix for this? Does viper for android work??

I just bought a Nexus 6 - hope it doesn't have this problem.

I currently have this issue, volume is dropping more than 50% after like 2 seconds at full volume. From what I could read from all over the forums, it really looks like a hardware issue, it's pretty random. Guess my N6 is going back to my carrier as soon as I can get to them when they're open!

Lollipop broke the Audio?

Updated to Lollipop yesterday. Of course I'm using Sony's official update and not CM12. So yeah I didn't bother to.watch any videos or listen to music because I updated my phone very late at night. But today, I realised the Audio seems broken. How is it broken? Well, I play a YouTube video at max volume. Seems fine but a little soft for being at max. As soon as I drag it down just a bit, it's like impossible to hear anything. When it reaches half volume, it feels like the minumum volume and the minimum volume feels like it's muted. Anyone have the same problem?
Tl;dr: Can't hear jack **** on near max volume

Seems like many people are facing the same issue based on a thread on the General section.

I've reflashed multiple region ftfs. Still the same. Many people are having this problem. Maybe you just don't notice the low volume

Umm, nope, I can notice cause I consume a lot of media on my phone.
Weird thing is, bluetooth is weird. I use it in my car, and in KK, when I made a call, it'd change to the phone audio on its own. Now it stays on bluetooth audio until the call connects and then switches to the phone audio mode. This was the case even with AOSP 5.0 ROMs :/ it's weirdly inconvenient cause if I'm using the aux, I won't know if the call is about to be connected, cause I can't hear the ringtone on the call :|

I'm using locked rooted Kitkat,
updated via Sony PC Companion without wiping anything
after the updating to lollipop, it charges so slow, even when it's turned off
I used all the chargers here.
I'm planning to go back to kitkat without losing any app data.
I have no recovery and not rooted in lollipop. What can I do?

sound is definitely broken, because xloud is missing, clearaudio+ isnt working neither.

[Q]How to remove everything google play? (With root)

I want to go completely google free but I still want my stock rom as I've issues with the headphone sound in all custom roms I've used so far. So how do I remove google completely from my device? I really don't know all apps that need to be removed.

Removing Google will have no effect on your sound. Most people who want no Google are the tin foil hat brigade, concerned about privacy. If it's notifications from Google apps that are disturbing you, then they can be turned off individually on an app by app basis, so you can have no notifications without uninstalling everything.
The rom I know that will work completely without any Google is SlimLP - Aries, there may be others, I am happy to stand corrected on that.
Going down the Unlocked Bootloader road to install a CM rom is difficult and will result in a loss of quality of your camera and some of the phone functions. To install SlimLP because you don't like Google seems a bit excessive.
You say you've tried stock roms, have you tried SLIM 5, it has some sound enhancements that make it a joy to use.

My problem with the sound is that the max volume in all custom roms even SLIM5 is so loud that you will get deaf from it. I know every rom has the "high volume safety" function but still stock rom has the best max volume settings. I'm going to try SlimLP thanks.

There is a fix for the SLIM volume problems that corrects the loud sound, although most people complained about excessive speaker volume.

Oh my search skills seem to lack a lot then. Well I only searched for "too loud" "headphones" etc haha. I couldn't care less about the speakers actually. The sound isn't that great on stock either. Going to test this now thanks a bunch.
Edit: Didn't fix it for me. Guess I'm bound to the stock rom.

Touchscreen feels slow, unresponsive

I just got my R1 HD out of the box and have immediately noticed that the touchscreen often requires me to try tapping a couple times before it registers. Has anyone else seen this happen? Very annoying.

Yep I noticed that myself. I'm coming from an LG G2 that had touch issues, and its great a new phone is almost as bad.

I'm wondering if its just a quality control issue? Some report it slow or unresponsive. Personally I have not experienced this. If your experiencing this right out of the box, I would definitely be contacting Amazon for an immediate replacement. I would end up throwing my phone over touch issues, and we all know that's not a warranty claim

Return it immediately. Mine has zero touch issues.

I've been having this problem and made a thread about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/help/touch-screen-periodically-starts-t3439547
Ordered a unit and started having the touch problems described in the OP a few hours after I got it.
Had it replaced by amazon and the replacement is doing the same thing too. Not only does it randomly exhibit the described behavior but sometimes while scrolling it loses track of my finger and starts pressing everything in the path of my scrolling.
Really aggravating. If there isn't some kind of software fix we can possibly do I'm going to have to return it, don't have time to deal with it anymore.
It's a shame because I really love everything else about the phone.

L-Speed after root
After you root it download L-Speed from google playvand go to main tweaks. Hope this helps.

What version of the phone are you using? 16gb/2gb or the 8gb/1gb? I have the 16gb/2gb and works fine. I wish the speaker phone was 50% louder.

I did as well, but Viper helped alot. At least the speaker and headphones, ear piece is still way to low for me.
I have issue with touchscreen issues as well, but only along the edges, it has issue getting right to the edge.

Viper is a kernel module / app that gives you more control over audio settings, at least for speaker, headset, and bluetooth. It needs root ( and the magisk systemless stuff works great with it for me) but then you can edit stuff like gain, equalizer, and many more things. I honestly don't know what 90% of it does, I just use the gain boost.
You can find it in the play store (though I had no luck with this one for some reason), or if you use magisk a flashable zip is in the 2nd or 3rd post in the magisk thread.

How did you install Viper? I tried and it reset the phone lol Had to go through the entire process of rooting again.
Any other audio mods that work?

Using magisk, it justworks.tm. Just installed the zip, then the app. Never had an issue.
As for other mods, I know Speaker Boost works ok (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.omegacentauri.SpeakerBoost). Though. That just boost audio volumes.
