[CM 12.1] Stereo is reversed - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, yesterday, while I was listening to music in Poweramp I figured out that there's something wrong with my audio. I tried to go to options and see what happens when I switch it to the left channel. And as I expected, Sound went to the right channel. I did a stereo test with "Stereo Test" app and result is the same. When I came back from CM12.1 to stock Lollipop, the issue didn't exist, but after installing the newest build the problem started again. I was looking for an app that may help me with it, but no luck. :crying: Do you guys have any suggestions?

So my hunch was correct after all. The audio-channels are indeed reversed in cm 12.1
I use faux-sound/google playmusic/ viper4android combo with my trusty sennhiesers. But right off the bat I noticed something wasnt right on cm12.1 audio. The channels were reversed .
This issue is insignificant and small to many people but for me, its hair-tearingly annoying
But to add to your quote, I read somewhere that viper4android has an audio channel correction mode, though I havent been able to find it (yet)
I'll post with a follow-up when I find something

electrum drum machine not working

I am running CMs 4.0.2 and electrum drum machine app just gives me a static sound when I load a sound...don't know why just does so now I'm kind stuck with an app that doesn't work and I'm out 3 buck.
Does anyone have the same problem or knows how to fix it please help.
Did the app ever work?
I just bought this 2 days ago and I'm on CM4.0.2 also. It works fine for me. I did notice right off the bat that Kick1 sounds like static/white noise. The thought it was messed up did cross my mind until I tried a different sample. The speaker is so crummy in the phone, that it just sounded bad.
Hope you get it worked out! It's a fun little app
If it sounded bad from the start I would email the dev and see what he is going to do about it.
Like Argusi was saying the speaker is probably the problem. Not really much the developer can do about that. Try using it with external speakers and see if it sounds better. Another option would be to use samples that fall within the frequency range of the internal speaker.
It sounds okay through headphones. It's not BFD or Addictive Drums, but for a couple bucks, it's fun to play with
Yeah i know its not my speaker cause when i play music on it, it sounds fine. I tried using my headphones but that didnt do anything but make my ear drums hurt lol.
So i guess ill mess around with it for a while to see if i can get it to work if not i gotta email niko the dev and see if i can get a refund.....hope i can get it to work.
Thanks everyone for your help!
***deleted*** .. sorry, wrong thread
Hi Rrod15,
Niko Twenty here, the dev. Obviously the app was only tested on normal 1.5 firmware, I think you have custom ROM now, but just a few quick questions:
What version of the drum do you have - is it the latest?
Are all the sounds not working (static sound) or is it just when you tried to load an external sample?
And then the next question - is the external sample from one of the sample packs?
If you are trying to use your own samples they have to be 16 bit mono 22Khz, otherwise they may not load correctly and you will get static.
Let me know how it goes! I can certainly offer a refund if you can't get it to work.
Thanks!

Yea i got the lastest update not sure exact ver. But its the newest.
The samples im loading r from the add on sample packs u provided and they are all static.
It worked for like a min then when i plug my headphones in i still hear it though my phone speaker pretty weird.
Now on CM 4.0.4
Hi,
One thing you could check is to load up your sdcard into your PC and go to /sdcard/electrum/samples
and then browse thru any folders/samples there and make sure they are there and not zero size, etc. You should be able to play the WAV samples on the PC right off the sdcard.
That would be one thing to check next.

[Q] Audio only works after reboot

The audio both from the speaker and headphones only seems to work after a reboot. I have no idea when it stops functioning.
This was a problem from day 1 with the free elephant kid book using the Read To Me function. I just had it happen with the music player, both the native one and MortPlayer. I had originally assumed it was a glitch with the book.
If a reboot fixes the problem, it's a software issue, right? Why did a search here not produce any similar threads? If I'm alone here, then it's a hardware issue and I'll need to unroot and return it, right?

Your search method must be flawed, as this is a known & frequently discussed issue.

It's defective. Get a new one.
Thanks for the reply.
Now to unroot...
Mine had the same exact problem. Audio usually stopped working after the screen went to sleep for the first time after a reboot. I recently flashed the 900mhz "screamer" overclock kernel and I've yet to have an audio problem since then. As much sense as that does or doesn't make, it seemed to fix the problem for me. Its worth a try. Hope it works for you (if you haven't already unrooted and returned by now)

When you get your hands on the new one, before you leave the store do this. After power on & such, try the audio (V0l + -). Works? Put to sleep for >10sec. Wake & test audio. No-work? Reboot, (Long power press) Try sleep/wake sequence again. If it works you are golden, now check a few other things & go home & root it! If it fails the test, don't let the Nook Genius tell you that you should let it charge for at least 4 hrs. before testing. The three that I have received had between 50% & 90% charge OOB. That's plenty for it to work properly, assuming the battery level meter is accurate. Put together your own checklist based on info on this forum. Crossword to test edges of screen, kbd. when charging from wall adapter etc.
Good luck, when you get a good one they are solid!

Interesting! That would support the thinking that this issue is related to timing & initializing the audio codec or something related. Hardware specs may be skewed just enough for it to not work when waking up. That's actually encouraging! Means that all those with this problem may see a F/W fix if they don't want to re-clock it.
Cheers,

Well, I unrooted and restored it to factory new using the 9 reboot method. This brought the device back to 1.0.0. I then went back to the store. The manager came out, took the device, and said "it needed 1.0.1 to fix the problem. Let me load it for you." I was thinking, "whatever dude. It had 1.0.1 on it and it still had the issue." But the guy was super nice and ran off with the device to some back office. He came back while it was installing 1.0.1 and it's working fine now. I kept trying to get it to recreate the problem with no luck. (So it actually is good luck.)
I'm assuming the 1.0.1 software update didn't install properly the first time.
I could have done all that myself without going to the store.

That's interesting. I had the audio/sleep problem with 1.0.0 & exchanged it for another 1.0.0 that worked fine. ?????

Left speaker issue

I'm running TD 9.1, and prior was on 8.0. Tried both stock kernel, and a few other ones with no luck. At first when the sounds starts playing, the left speaker works fine, then with in a sec, it will fad to almost nothing. Is this something someone else has encountered? For all I know it has been like this since day one.. But I don't believe so.
Edit: I have also tried clean installs. i have not tried other roms yet.
Double edit: My xda search is not working, but google did for me. Found one other person having somewhat the same issue, but it was never answered. I hate to bump an old tread like that, after i have posted mine already.

I have the exact same issue. Tried million ROMs, sound patches and tricks but nothing change. The easiest way to see the difference between the two speakers is to run the Audio Test using HTC Function Test by dialing *#*#3424#*#*
Finally, I managed to get S-Off and now I'm going to get back to 100% stock flashing RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.3.exe, I'll do the test again and update the post.
EDIT: I'm full stock and it didn't fix it I guess I have to send it back...
BTW, what did you do? Did you fixed yours?
Running Sinless 5.1.5 now with elemental, everything works 100%. I guess for some reason my phone just didn't like TD, we all know they have a personality of there own..
Sorry for the long wait before response, I don't pay attention very well.

No Headphone Functionality in CM11 Official?

Hi all, I'm new. Hopefully this is an okay place to ask this. I can't comment in the nightly thread just yet. But this is the build from 9.26. The only things I've done, I believe, are root, unlock, install clockworkmod recovery, and this nightly cm11 build.
I'm quite happy with it, as this is my first time rooting and using a custom rom, etc. Great performance in general, and my 3G stays connected so much better than with the stock rom, for whatever reason.
But I've realized that plugging in headphones does essentially nothing. It plays music through the speakers even with headphones in. This is true with Pandora, the built in music app, and "Shuttle". Though, with the latter, it seems to recognize the headphones enough to display an icon. But still no sound through them.
Is there a setting that can be changed, or has someone else noticed it from this build?
Thanks!

CyanogenMod 12 for HTC One Mini 2 (Memul)

Hi guys,
Thought I would start a thread for users of CyanogenMod 12 for HTC One Mini 2 (memul).
I have installed a nightly dated 24th February 2015. It seems to be working great, my only issues have been:
After phone restart, the first time you call someone you cant hear them. Call them again, the problem is fixed and doesnt seeem to come back for that contact. (will happen again for other contacts the first time you call them though).
Camera is very laggy and doesnt respond well at all...the viewfinder is super stuttery and laggy and when you hit the take a picture button it can take a second or two to respond. I dont use the camera much so it doesnt bother me.
Have had some problems with the music player not outputting music to the headphones after a while, but taking the headphones out, pressing play so it plays out the speaker, then putting the headphones back in fixes this. Again,
not a big issue.
Official TWRP stops working after going through setup, but factory reset from within CM12 fixes it if you do have to re-flash or something.
So I recommend CM12 latest nightly for our phone, its better than CM11 and actually had less problems than the Release channel rom for our device (CM11). Although that ROM says it has no known issues, there are known issues that have not been noted on the wiki.
Hey thanks for doing this, I am considering CM12 on my phone too. i use the loud speaker and the camera a lot, does this impact the sound quality? i really enjoy the boom sound on this phone.

Loud speaker works fine, and one of the great things about cyanogenmod is the built in system level equalizer, so boom sound equivalent is built in. Camera, on the basis of the build i am using from mid Feb, is not so good...actually the pictures are not so bad but the actual viewfinder is very laggy and pressing the take shot button is slow to respond. It could be fixed in newer nightlies, I have been away from home for over a month but when i get back ill flash a new nightly.

Thanks for the advice, I installed march 25th build last night.
From your first post, only problem i experienced was the camera, its still very laggy, and the picture quality dose not compare well to the original. I have tired third party camera app but no joy, similar issues. Other than that, happy to say every thing else is working fine, i will update regularly to see if camera improves.
Hi all,
I'm using CM12 since 2 weeks. In some case, the phone is very laggy. For example, with Chrome or also when opening new apps, of when i switch from app to other.
Maybe i'm not using the correct boot or recovery or radio.
Can you tell me which one is recommended with the CM12 ROM ?
Thanks.

Hi there,
I have been flashing the latest nightly. I think we need to log a JIRA issue for the camera, but I havent checked if someone already did. It doesnt seem to be getting better does it?
Dont use chrome...if you dont like the cyanogen browser, try firefox XD
The best recovery is TWRP, see the other posts in our part of the forum about this. Make sure your get the U-RA version of TWRP as the official TWRP page doesnt list our device for latest versions.
Also I should note that the calendar doesnt work in this ROM in offline mode, which is true for all Cyanogen ROMs i believe. But the solution is to install from DroidForge the offline calendar account, and then you can enter items in the calendar without google calendar, or sync USB with outlook etc (latter requires purchase of sync program separately to go on your PC).
Bad news for CM12 on memul: the only developer u-ra has stopped working with our device. So there are no new nightlies anymore since 04/11 and we don't know when it will be going on.

That is bad news alright, Is there any way for me to get back to stock rom and wait for official lollipop release? I am quiet new to this.
