sound problems - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Does anyone know the default system sound settings? I'm currently using viper 4 Android because it's the default sound system for the rom I use (chimera) I have the unlocked USA snapdragon version but there is a distinct noticable difference between the way stock sounds and the way it sounds with this rom the phone overall is extremely louder now which is a good thing but when I am listening to music it's a lot quieter and if I turn it up it becomes extremely distorted and hard to understand and it's very I guess trebley and no matter what I do I can't increase the bass to it, I can't describe it it just sounds horrible

Sounds like an issue with the customOS that you have installed on your device

Do you think uninstalling viper4android would solve the problem?

It should. As Custom OSes do not have the best performance when compared to the android OEM's stock OS.

[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
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.

Low system sound , temporary fix

For those who can hardly hear the system touch , screen lock/unlock & keyboard clicks due to the Android bug, i have replaced the system sound files with other files from the LG G2. This does increase the volume and now can be heard.
I've made a CWM flashable zip. You need to be rooted.
any details what is that Android bug you mentioned concerning low sound? thanks

[Q] Speaker Distortion on CM11

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.

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.

speaker got noticeably a lower sound

My phone had decreased the sound of the speakers and it is really so noticible and it just happened today. Is there any solution?
Weirdly, I noticed this as well. Temporarily I installed volume booster from play store but I noticed there's very little volume from top speaker

Same here. And it is weird as the speaker still has good quality which means that it is not affected.
mine as well i just noticed it after latest update
Mine is not a new thing I've noticed.
It's not permanently low. It's like I'll watch a video and the usb c port speaker is decently loud with a full sound and then about 5 mins in it fades to quiet and tinny. The front firing speaker seems unaffected.
Playing the video from the beginning doesn't change anything so it doesn't seem app specific. This has happened since day 1 but I don't listed to much out loud these days

This change in volume is caused by Dolby Atmos. Whenever this happens when you're watching a video, you should try going to the dolby atmos settings, switching to a different mode (and then back if you want), and play the video again. The software automatically EQ's based on what you're listening to in a really dumb way, and the method I just described will let it forget and reset for a little while. I'm currently looking at a method to remove Dolby Atmos entirely in favor for an actually decent EQ.
Edit after 45 minutes:
I've removed Dolby! I crossed my fingers and removed it via adb.
The command I used in ADB was:
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 'com.huawei.imedia.dolby'
I had a little switch in my notification drawer which immediately was gone. In the settings there is no sight of the software either, and my phone speaker finally sounds fine! I hope this will work for you all too.

It really worked? lol, gonna try later too, btw, do you know how to install it back? Just to make sure nothing goes wrong in our future EMUI11 and HarmonyOS update.

Yep, it works. The only thing that alters the audio now is if you plug your phone in, but that's not too bothering for me personally. You could try disabling it too, once you're shelled into your phone just type "pm help" and there should be a long list of commands you can apply.
Thanks for the tip! I bought a second hand cellphone, and I thought it was defective. I used the debloat software for huawei phones, and now it sounds how it should be. I just had to install an eq from playstore to use when using earbuds, because I felt it was sounding different. Now everything´s fine!!!
Seems it has re-activated itself on my phone, switch is still gone. I'll do a reset this afternoon to check the sound difference, but this fix seemed to be temporary for some reason...

Yeah, read about it on a debloat post on P30 Pro forum, system apps aren't full removed through adb, it just disables for the current user (wich is user0/ default main user), without it, the uninstall command won't work, to remove completely it needs root acess, wich unfortunately we can't get, but I'm not sure if they are allowed to reinstall itself, unless a factory reset is made.
Edit: Guess what, uninstalling Dolby Atmos seems to dont fix the issue at all, but Dolby is still gone, maybe it has something to do with the system keeping some of its data in the storage, or this issue has something to do with some other system service. I'm installing dolby again and try to look for something else, seems to have nothing to do with dolby, since when using dolby with earphones it don't do that.

Yes this seems to have worked as a quick fix, thank you!
Will attempt to disable it completely later
