As the title of the post says, I'm encountering this extremely infuriating audio bug in Oreo based custom ROMs (OOS works fine) where the audio from most games comes out "dragged" and distorted once every few seconds. It's driving me nuts and I can't figure out what on Earth is causing it.
I have V4A installed, but that seemed to work just fine on OOS without any issues whatsoever, so it may not be causing the issue. Can anyone else please tell me whether they're facing a similar issue or not? I'm currently on Resurrection Remix 6.1 2019/07/15. This issue has been driving me insane for the past few months (during which I've only been on RR, but have encountered this issue on other ROMs including LOS).
#1 Update to the post:
Viper seems to be the issue, contrary to my belief. I tried it with Viper uninstalled via a dirty flash of my ROM, and the glitch didn't exist anymore. Just to be sure I got another version of V4A (this time a magisk one) and the bug is back. Is there any way to workaround this thing? I'd really like to keep my Viper
I'm using Dolby Atmos without any issues.

Hi there !
I have created this topic because the problem mentioned in the title is getting me mad !
I am under CM12.1 (Lollipop 5.1.1) 21-09-2015 nightly build, and I always experimented this problem : when I plug in my headset (JVC), Google Voice Search keeps randomly popping up, at any screen. Everytime. Forever. Of course, music stop playing.
I thought throwing a brick on my phone would make it work again, but no. Just kidding
It is not the headset's fault, because I have tried it on other phone under CM12.1, and it was OK.
The only "workaround" I found is to deactivate the Google app, and to remove the search bar of the main screens. But it sometime happens despite that, and I would like to use this functionality.
Seems that the phone keeps thinking that I push a button on my headset, but it does not have any !
What do you guys think ?
Other problem certainly unrelated :
- On this build and later, the back (only !) camera is really, like really, laggy, quite unusable, both in photo and video. Happens in all apps handling camera : CM camera app, snapchat, etc.
I precise all of these problems do not occur under stock Sony ROM, and that all the solutions I found online were not helpful.

Since you did a dirty flash (OTA update), the first thing I would do is back up everything you care about, wipe, and clean flash the firmware. This will probably fix the camera issue.
It may also fix the headset issue, but I think it may be related to the physical headphone jack. You tried the same headset on a different phone (was it also running CM12.1?) and didn't repro the issue, so that just leaves your specific. This doesn't sound like a software issue, but since you should wipe to fix the camera issue, maybe you'll get lucky.
Thanks for your answer xasbo.
Sorry for the latence of my answer, I switched back to CM11, because all is working perfectly in this ROM (latest SNAPSHOT).
I did not make a dirty flash of CM12.1, it was a perfectly clean install, but the problems were always there. Apparently it seems to be related to CM12.1, because the stock Lollipop ROM for Xperia Z1 doesn't have those issues : only with CM12.1 (and CM12 as well).
I do not understand why this is happening, but it is making the phone unusable for music, camera, and even 9gag (lol).
I was not able to test my headset on another CM12.1 ROM because none of my related or friends have a custom ROM (arghh), I only managed to test it on other android phones under Lollipop, but only stock ROMs (Samsung S4, and Wiko Idontrememberthemodel).
Is there somebody who has the same issues with CM12.1 ?
I've read some other stuff since related to CM12 on these phones. Look for a CM thread in either General or Q&A. There is talk of both camera lag and a "headphone fix". Maybe these are what you need.
Hi guys,
Whatever rom I install on my xiaomi mi5, after a certain time, the screen rotation does not work anymore.
To prevent software errors I run always by a clean flash.
In many forums write user that this bug after the update to a specific version Miui disappears.
This is not a' solution for me.
Has anyone else this problem?
Perhaps it is also a hardware defect...
dont think its a software problem, maybe you should get your phone checked out

Its of course a well know bug for all mi5 roms. I read yesterday that last thursday rom update fix this:
"Fix - Accelerometer and gyroscope didn't work after and OTA update (08-12)
Fix - Accelerometer and gyroscope didn't work normally (08-12)"
The problem occured with miui as well as with unofficial CM build, what i am using now. This indicates to me that it has nothing to do with the installed rom directly.
After rebooting, everything works fine again.
I suspect apps like Pokémon go to stay in relation to the bug. Since i am not playing that game anymore it occures much rarer...
I am too having this problem with no solution, i guess its not an hardware issue, otherwise dozens of people like us have an defective hardware on their mi 5. I tried MIUI 7.5.2.0 and 8.0.2.0, both global stable, occurs when i play pokemon go for a while, then i go back to any app and the screen does not rotate anymore.
I wonder if it is related to the kernel, since we dont have the kernel sources, all the roms available are based on the kernel miui have, so... Any help would be apreciated.
I was having the same problem. I dont play pokemon. Im still on vendor rom. But now the bug gone i tried to simulate the bug but it rotate normally
I have this issue. I'm on the latest CM 13 build and I get issues where the camera won't take in landscape and full screen videos won't switch to landscape when you rotate the phone. It's so nearly perfect apart from that.

Did you ever fix this bug as a matter of interest? I've just done a full-wipe reset and reinstall of the latest CM13 build and I still have auto-rotate issues. It's really annoying me now because it's a great build in all other respects.
I installed a couple of Sensor Test apps and neither one can see my accelerometer sensor to even test it. So it's like the sensor isn't even there. I know it works because one of Shade.sh's beta CM 13 builds was able to detect the sensor OK! Any ideas?
Here's the sensors detected in the Check My Android app. There seems to be only two axis detectors working. How does this compare to a healthy Mi 5?

Yes, i actualy did. After installing developer version 6.9.18 the problem never appeared again. Now im on 6.9.22 and the rotation bug is gone
Hmm, I've just tried SlimRom and the same bug is present, presumably because it's derived from the same tree as CM 13.
I'm actually tempted to give MIUI 6.9.22 a go then if it's the only way to get this fixed.
I have just flashed the MIUI developer ROM 6.9.2.2 and my sensors are working perfectly now. So it must be something for flaky in the CM stack or Kernel version. See screenshot.
I don't know if this has been answered anywhere and I am sincerely sorry if it has been.
I am faced with a peculiar problem with my 18K Mi Mix. The phone came with 8.2.5.0. When no updates were forthcoming I decided to root and install a custom ROM. Everything went fine and the phone booted up and I installed my apps. I was using 7.8.31 version of the Beta ROM. However I was faced with a problem of a crackling or static like noise in the background while making calls. The speakerphone and headphone or Bluetooth headset has no problems. Only the call speaker. So I imagined it to be a hardware problem and went back to stock. To my surprise, the problem vanished in stock ROM and any ROM based on Android 6.0. It is only present in Android 7.0. So I guess it might have something to do with the Android 7 ROMs themselves.
Has anybody here faced such issues. If you have kindly help me. I am kinda addicted to the 7.0 ROMs and wish to stay on them if I can get rid of this issue. I was using the Global stable ROM earlier.
Thanks for any help.

Well you've already done the hard work so may as well stick RR rom on the phone. All problems have been ironed out and think you will be happy, I went back to miui awhile ago had crackling in calls although mainly on Bluetooth.

Thanks. Will give it a try.
Finally cracked the problem. As I had suspected, this is a software flaw. The whole issue was being caused by the proximity sensor. The moment I turned the proximity sensor off all problems have vanished. Have replicated the problem a number of times, so am pretty sure that is the cause. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions.
you don't fix the problem we need the sensor

You do need the sensor.
But since the problem is not happening with any of the stable version ROMs (I have tried Global stable 8.2.5 and China Stable 8.5.4), I am very sure its not related to hardware. So for the time being I am more than happy keeping the proximity sensor off and using Nougat 7.0 on my Mix. I am pretty sure this has something to do with drivers or firmware and will be taken care of, once the stable versions of 7.0 are released.

Even my Redmi Note 4 has that cracking or scattering sound when bluetooth calls are made. I found temporary solution that is Turn off the WiFi. Looking for permanent solution.
I've recently updated my device to Oreo after making up my mind. Now I'm suffering from a slight issue where when I pay using my watch the plug in on my phone crashes (payment still goes through though). I can't open the app at all as it crashes. Having xposed on/off still reproduces the same issue. Its seems as if the latest version of s pay isn't somehow compatible Oreo in a way. Have even tested the same s pay plugin on my stock pixel xl 2 running oreo also.and crashes also when attempting to open.
Currently running weta (8.0) but the plugin worked just fine back in nougat. Is anyone suffering from similar issues by any chance? Would absolutely love to hear your thoughts and opinions on the matter
Hello everybody
I have benn using Mi 5 for about a year.And from the second week I used custom rom in it.I used almost all rom available for mi5 both Nougat and oreo.In different oreo roms I have faced a very annoying problem.Randomly the sound stop to work.A restart solve this problem.But this is very annoying.You can't predict when this is happen.microphone also stop working.phone call,ok google detection doesn't work.
Most surprising fact is,it is not constant in rom.I mean iy is not a bug of the rom.Because in same rom sometimes it happens and sometime doesn't. Like in los,I am facing this problem right now.But noT previous time.
Somebody please help
