Hulu audio slow, running CM6 8/14

I was using Hulu with the flash player hack, and it was working beautifully. I have been running the nightlies for a while, and I can't tell what changed. But now when I try to use hulu, the audio is so slow the voices sound possessed!
I found some users in the Incredible forum ran into the same issues when an audio fix for froyo was applied to their rom. But one user posted solving both problems.
Has anyone else run into this? If so have you found a fix?

Yeah I too have this problem

Go to Google type hulu hack xda developers then look for June 17th fix. Works great on my evolution no audio problems.

That's actually where I got the hack in the first place. I un-installed it and installed it again today, and I am still getting the same result. I even flashed back to a previous nightly build, the only one I had a nand backup for, and same problem.
I did find this in the incredible forum,
just add this extension to the URL at the top showthread.php?p=7712210, and check out comment #73
His solution seemed a little over my head, but would something like this work for us?

any simple fix for evos?

Did anyone ever get a fix?? I'm having the same thing

Try turning off dsp.
Sent on the go from my HTC EVO

Disabled dsp still a no go..it's weird the ads sound fine once it gets to the actual video it messes up ..thanks for trying. Any other ideas?

I have tried everything. There is an updated "fixed-flash" in the forum where I found it the first time. I uninstalled my old one, re-booted, and then installed the new one. Couldn't get it to work.
I tried using the hulu.apk, which is really just the Hulu bookmark widget from hulu.com. I tried running it through Dolphin HD, I tried it through the stock browser, and I got the demon voices almost every time. There were few occasions where commercials would come in fine, and one time the actual clip played with normal audio, but 90% of the time, I am getting slow audio.
It seems like in the droid incredible forums, they are discussing this more. I found this from a dinc forum.
This is how I understand it. Google changed something to the audio streams for Froyo. Apparently catering to a newer technology called stagefright I believe. But, this made Pandora, Slacker, and other audio only streams sound like an old record player. So, Google released a fix. Adrynalyne posted that fix early. But it seems that this "fix" only fixes the streaming audio for those music apps and sites. But it caused a delay in the flash audio from sites like Hulu. In regards to this, there was a droid incredible forum talking about a ROM called SkyRaider. I wonder if Cyanogen used the same fix.
"SkyRaider incorporates adrynalyne's audio fix, which was released by google, which as previously mentioned fixed the AAC streams. The side effect was that Hulu and other sites were getting "devil voice" audio. So basically you could either have one or the other, not both.
Prior to the audio fix was an alternate fix where you changed a variable in the build.prop. This fixed both aac (ie. Pandora) and did not distort the sound in Hulu. The only thing affected was a slightly lower quadrant score. No decrease in performance, just a lower score. Personally, I'm still using the build.prop because I don't care about quadrant scores and my phone works properly in all aspects. Again this fix is rather old school now so maybe a better alternative has been cooked up but it's what I've been using for quite a while with no issues. "
Does anyone with more experience than me know what that means? Can this be applied to the Evo?

There don't seem to be too many people interested in this post. But for those that are. I did try editing the build.prop file using a root explorer. It didn't work. I will post if I find anything that does.

Yea I've been trying to fix this for 2 weeks now..I even applied skyraders fix to see if would work crashed my phone..I keep posting and also no buddy seems like there interested in it..i would love tofix this problem cause now it's become a obsession..I've tried and have gotten nowhere..ill give 10 bucks to anyone that can fix this for me!

After researching this for a while, I've found the only way to do this is to disable Stagefright. Hopefully this won't be a permanent thing. Follow the instructions in the above link. Pandora and Hulu seem to BOTH be functioning properly on the newest Cyanogen nightly after applying this fix.

The Cause of this issue?
I thought I post what results in Hulu sound running slow for me. Hulu works great when I first flash MIKSHIFT v1.0 for the HTC EVO Shift.
When I start having the slow sound on Hulu is right after I do a wipe of the user data (System Reset). It does not matter if you do the system reset from within "Settings/SD & phone storage/Factory data reset" or if you run this from within clockworkmod recovery.
After the reset and installing the huku fix apx the issue with the sound appears.
So it seems that doing the reset is causing something to be changed that causes this issue.
Please let me know if anyone has found a solution for this.

[Q] How do I fix Epic 4g Camera?

Hello guys, I just recently rooted my android phone and I installed a custom rom (Nebula 1.0.7) However whenever I use any video messaging app (Yahoo, Qik, and Fring) I notice that my camera is always sideways and I appear the same way towards the other guy. My front camera would always appear to be sideways even if I were to rotate my phone.
I never had this problem before, is there any way to 'mirror' my camera so that it would look upright?
Any help would be very appreciated

Same thing here. I don't think there is a fix for this until we get the official froyo.

Thats quite a shame, I wonder why they can't seem to fix it.
No matter ,its hardly a issue

Yeah I know. It does suck. First time I updated to froyo and saw that I was like wtf? Lol.
Sent from my Evo Killer!!!

I had the same issue running stock DK28. Sometimes it would rotate correctly, others not. I'm sure it will get fixed soon enough!

Its Screen Rotation Lag.....I believe? I have been trying to fix that for a month or so myself to no avail. Its just a matter of time and a fix will become available. (Froyo/NebulaROM7Sisters-Ext4CWM3)

​I think I found the Fix, Download spare parts from the Market. Open it, in the section marked transitions....set that to fast. I just tried it and cleared up all lag for me.

You're. Thinking of something completely different. Its video chat he's. Taklking about
sent from my Epi[demi]c:-D

I use oovoo and it works very well. I know it's a hassle downloading yet another video chat program but it's quite a bit smaller than Yahoo! video and actually works better.
You can video chat from phone to computer, phone to phone, etc.

[Q] Netflix and Kingdom Rewind 3D...

Probably been asked before but I just flashed this ROM last night and it is great, besides Netflix. The resolution inside the app is squishing the text together. Any fix for this?
I have read through the development forum for the ROM and found things that did not work like uninstalling with root explorer and re-downloading from the Market. Thank you for your time.

ya ive also noticed this and made a problem for me i would like to know for a fix also its probably all the resizing but i really dont know...

Windows Media

I'm rooted now, but tentative about trying ROMs without finding out about why WMA and WMV files work on my Dinc2. They DO work on the stock Dinc2; They did NOT play on my rooted D1.
I know a bit about Linux and the issues with driver and codec licensing. Will custom ROMs come with the codec and player to support these files? Or is this something nice that Verizon does for us ... licensing the codecs?
Why do I care? My voice mail service now emails messages to me -- in win media format.

since youre rooted, just boot into clockwork and make a backup of your current rom. then flash a new rom, and check to see if it plays wma and wmv. if not, either try another rom, or go back into clockwork and restore your backup of your original rom. I really dont see why people are so nervous about trying new roms, devs make it easy to go back to what works in case you have a problem with something.

I should of expected that answer. I toyed with many ROMs on the ole D1. This thing is just so shiny.
Still, if anybody has looked into this, please let me know.
My wife has an X unrooted and it also plays Windows media. Maybe I'm making all this up and the issue was somehow the D1. It just seems there should be a software-related answer.
Anyway...I'll find candidate ROM over the weekend and post my findings.

I just use VPlayer. It plays pretty much any files I have and it's easier than trying to get a stock ROM to play a format that's not natively supported. Then you're free to try/use whatever ROM you want.

I working with the CM7 beta and I am having mixed success.
First, it plays my voicemail. But I was wrong... My voicemail comes in a WAV file. CM7 plays the WAV file.
However it does not play a WMA file that I had ripped from a CD.
If I need that old CD I invest in the player you mentioned.

CM9 PreAlpha Streaming Video Issues

Not sure if this has already been addressed, but none of my apps work... Netflix, YouTube, hacked Hulu+. I'm guessing this has to do with HWA? Any help would be appreciated.
1st post sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium

the most recent CM9 has HWA built in... i would tend to think that most of those streaming services use Digital Rights Management (DRM) which is probably not working in CM9.

That's not the case as I watched Netflix on my CM9 tablet just a few weeks ago.

I'm having this same issue. Anyone know a fix?

if you're talking about drk.hd's CM9 kang for inc then if you used the camcorder fix that was posted, i've heard that it breaks youtube, netflix, etc. If you flash the ROM without the camcorder fix then you should be set. At least that's how I understand it. I'm still waiting for CM9 to have more custimization features before I make it my daily driver so I have been holding off on using this ROM very much but I have kept up with that thread and people seemed to have problems when they used the camcorder fix. I guess it is a trade off right now that you will have to decide on if you want to use it as your daily.

I'm currently on the new Nightly CM9 and Incredikernel HWA Beta 2 and, unfortunately, same issue with the hacked Hulu plus .. Sound with scrambled green bars only. However, YouTube works though, and canceled my Netflix.
Anyone out there up to removing the device check on the latest and greatest version of Hulu+?

I've been running drk.hd's latest nightly for a few days now and am loving it. Best ICS I've tried to date. Also using Incredi Beta 2. I didn't do the camcorder fix before install and can confirm what you posted. Haven't attempted netflix but youtube is working great. If they can work a camcorder fix this will be my new daily probably for the rest of my INC's life.

Okay, so I combed over the thread again and found that even with the drivers that were released recently netflix is broken for everyone using this ROM so I'm going to retract my original statement and tell you this: you are not alone. Many people have been asking/complaining about neflix not working in this ROM and unfortunately nobody has been able to deliver as of yet. My ignorance on the topic sprouts from the fact that I don't have a netflix account therefore I don't use netflix and haven't been staying up to date on this particular issue. I am sorry for the confusion but this should set you straight. The ROM does not yet support netflix or hulu playback to my knowledge. Perhaps in the next build?

For me, some of the playback is hit or miss. I might have to reload it a few times to get it to work but eventually things like YouTube will work and I never flashed the camcorder fix. I was also wondering if this is connected to the TwitchTV app not working as well?

So I am a complete noob, however, isn't the version of Netflix dependent on what device you have? I'm pretty sure Hulu is too. Which means since the Incredible doesn't technically support ICS/HWA (?) the apps don't either? YouTube works but it's version is solely based on the Gapps you install (which are made for ICS) and it works. SO maybe port Netflix and Hulu from another device that officially has ICS?
