So whenever I get any sort of notification, there is a popping sound. It's a sound similar to what you hear when you plug in an audio device into speakers that are powered on. This happens on both CM and RR, but I've never experienced it on the stock rom. Has anyone experienced this, and does anyone know how to fix it?
I noticed this too, but it went away after some time...
Hopefully it'll do the same for me. I've been flashing and reflashing a lot lately, so it could still be settling in.

So I did some poking, notifications are no longer cracking... the only place I can still notice it is when I click the voice search mic, or say "ok google" to search.
On baybutchers latest kernel...
Edit: it's intermittent, only happens some of the time, but almost always when I use the voice command.

I'm on RR right now, which comes with baybutcher's kernel. The problem is intermittent without me changing any settings, as it was on CM without baybutcher's kernel. I really wish I could fix it. It's really annoying.

I am finding that no matter which version of Cyanogen's mod I use, either the official release, or one of the variants, they all have a similar issue:
When using my A2DP head set, all notifications and alarms will only play over the headset as long as it is connected. I have selected in the Cyanogenmod settings to force all notifications, ring tones, alarms over the speaker, but it does not seem to apply to A2DP.
Does anyone have similar issues, and has anyone found a solution if they have experienced this issue?

I can't be the only one having this issue. Its not there in stock and not there in MIUI.
I so much prefer Cyanogen roms though, minus this one issue. The ringtone also gets played over the bluetooth.
Its not an issue of turn off your bluetooth before you go to bed. Its also an issue of I can't hear my phone ring unless my bluetooth is on me.
Idiot, wrong section....
I see. Well thanks for the constructive post then.
And you're saying this behavior does not happen on stock roms, only cyanogen?

That is correct. Stock roms and MIUI roms do not exhibit this behavior for me.
that's a tough one. it will be hard to get the team to recognize and look to fix this discrepency. i had a similar "complaint" and i tried to go thru the code myself to see about fixing it. but your issue is way above my skill level so i dont knwo what you could do.
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 have installed CM11 on wifes mini 2, but the sound is very distorted at higher volumes. I read that I should install viper4android, which I have done, but I cant seem to stop the distortion. Also, when I am tweaking settings in Viper, I don't hear any difference. This is in both Apollo and Google Play Music.
Message alerts are also piercing and distorted.
Any help much appreciated
i have just spoken to someone in the cyanogenmod irc and it turns out that the amp in the phone gets put into bypass mode when flashing a non stock rom. They said that there was nothing they can do about it and that, as far as they are aware, there is no fix.
Surprised that no one else has noticed anything with flashed roms.

People did notice it, usually referred to as 'Sound Crackling'. They are right in saying there is no fix ATM. It is one of the things that keeps me away from CM11 and CM12, besides the camera.

Sorry, the camera??? My wife has said that she is pleased with the camera as it is now very responsive. To be honest the sound is not a major issue, it is only really noticable when the volume is cranked up high. A little lower and it is still better than my nexus 5.

The camera app is what troubles me. I still have not found a replacement for the stock sense camera app in my usage scenario
So I love using my launch phrase. And the percentage of 'correctness' is amazing. But whenever I do it anywhere except somewhere that's dead silent, it just keeps listening. For like...30 seconds. Even if I said two words. I find this quite annoying. Any fix for this? Anyone else experiencing this?

This is because the phone is still listening for the sounds around you, it doesn't differentiate between a dog or your voice, it just hears sounds, so as long as they environment is noisy, the voice commands wouldn't work properly.
There is no fix for this because it's not a bug, it works as intended but if any other sources are making noises, the phone won't distinguish your voice properly; the only thing you can do is to speak louder or try to be close to your phone when using your voice.
:good:

I understand exactly what you are saying. But, on my old GNex (and on this phone) if I use Google's voice detection services it works without these incredibly long delays. The only reason i prefer this service is that this service reacts to my command without having to touch my phone first.

I think this is the most interesting thing, of course Google has many advantages with its own implementation, but the fact to have the always listening function on the phone is priceless.
Started having an issue with my N6 this week when the media volume disappeared. Alarms and ringtones still worked as they should but music and videos were not putting out any sound, no media volume at all even though it was maxed out in volume controls. Thought perhaps I messed something up installing the newest PureNexus build so tried reinstalling to no avail. Searched around a few forums and saw that this has been an issue for some people going back as much as a couple years. This thread on XDA helped fix my particular problem: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/nexus-6-sound-t3021881/page2
From the OP of that thread:
DavidVanstone said:
OK, so it turns out mine is to do with the headphone jack, maybe the software is buggy? But if I plug it in and take it out the sound comes back. The port is clean, so unsure why it is doing it? Oddly I have discovered that while it is having its issue with the sound, the google now voice keeps popping up as if I have said "ok google" (which is turned off?)
Hasn't done it for a while now though, will see if 5.1 cures any of the problems.

This fixed my device though I've seen in other forums that this fix doesn't work for everyone.
My question: is anyone familiar with this problem and know whether it's a hardware or software issue?
