My Phone makes crackle sounds when I'm playing music, it crackles only while music is on. If I touch the screen sliding my finger it will crackkle but if I don't touch the screen the audio is fine but only crackles when I touch the screen. Plus if I hit the power button to turn off screen sometimes it will crackle as well.
PowerAmp,Music Player,TuneInRadio etc.... this just tarted to happen a few days ago. Can someone explain this to me. Because these crackle sounds need to go away it sounds bad.

There are at least two possibly major elements you're leaving out in your description. One, how if and where are you plugged in for power (if so using what cables) and two, what are you using to listen - phone speaker or headphones and if so, what kind/how are they connected? These things may have a big effect on your sound and issues with it.
Running Voodoo sound by any chance? If so it is a known issue and there is a thread dedicated to the issue.
We never narrowed it down,but I am now using Twilight 1.0.4 Vsound v4 or 5,and the pops are not present atm...

I was using both in auxiliary to car and headphones it doesn't matter plus kernels aren't the issue. Even when not charging when charging nothing matters even if I just use regualr speaker from phone it all just crackles. I Odined I Wiped I reinstalled nothing changes it just crackles

Sounds there are some loose electrical contacts.. defective hardware. :/ take it to a Sprint Corporate shop, they should be able to fix it relatively cheap if not for free.

I would take it in and chat with a rep before unrooting tho. No need to unroot if they have a way to fix without wiping your phone. Quite a few reps have their phone modded too.

I would unroot because they can flag your account for rooting and you will no longer be able to receive a replacement phone.not every rep is going to want to be your buddy lol

I'm sure this is entirely possible, but when I said chat, I don't mean divuldge every last mod you have done to your phone. I simply meant unrooting might be unnecessary. Every shop is going to be different. I know the shop near me has a few rooted users. Of course though, there is no denying that unrooting your phone is your safest bet.

Try formatting the phone and sd. Odin to stock. Root then rom. I have fixed this issue twice on my phone by doing this.

Your issue sounds like the same issue ive noticed streaming pandora. Sounds a lot like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026971
Twilight 1.0.4 is the kernel people there say doesnt have the problem. Havent got around to testing. I can say that between the default bonsai kernel and genocide 1.0 kernel the crack/pops/distortion is less noticeable on genocide but its still there.

And in general, there isn't a problem. It only affects some people.
Before placing blame and switching kernels, uninstall Voodoo Control, reboot, clear cache/dalvik-cache, and reboot again. See if the problem goes away. It probably will.
On my phone it had nothing to do with the kernel. Once the stutter appeared nothing but formatting fixed it. After that I could apply any kernel and the phone sounded great.

Just a quick update sometimes i dont even touch screen and it crackles like im sitting on the music player ( PowerAmp ) and when the screen automatically shuts off it crackles. SO WTF, what does touching a screen when audio is playing have to do anything to make it crackle it doesnt crackle any other way.
Plus sometimes when i touch screen it doesnt crackle its random
Another thing it only crackles when the screens on. as well I can play music or audio and have screen off and touch screen it doesn't crackle.

If you have tried the ultimate wipe (ODIN, Re-root) and flashed a freshly downloaded ROM and kernel and tried a different app.. I find it hard to believe its anything but hardware. Another thing you can try is using a different battery. It sounds definately electrical related.
Best of luck!

So I got some new headphones with bigger speakers than your normal "ear buds". With the volume at full it isn't very loud...
I tried getting one of the volume boost apps from the market and it made the sounds louder for sure, but the quality we terrible. Lots of static. Is there any better solution?
I tried the headphones on my computer and the sounds was way louder and quality was excellant.

The gingertiny kernel has audio boost built into it, and also other kernels if your not on gingerbread. You can find it in the dev section. Other than that an app is your only option.
Well you see they purposely limit the output on portable devices because kids listen to it too loud. So it sucks when you get a nicer set of headphones or hook up to a stereo and it has really low volume. Get a headphone amplifier but its another device with battery you have to charge and carry with you.
Bummer, not looking carry another device. I an on miui so sense kernels are no good for me.

Not sure but im willing to bet there is a non sense kernel out there with audio boost. Or mabey a kernel module to enable it.
I'm pretty sure Chad's kernel has audioboost and it's AOSP.

Yea I used to use Chad's but it's really buggy with miui. Maybe I'll try tiamat.

I just use DSP manager and adjust the eq up a couple db's...

Chad's has audioboost and it shouldn't be buggy with MIUI. What type of issues were you having?
Use poweramp?

poweramp was useful until I tried playerpro with dspmanager.....
Has anyone else noticed this? I've tried LiquidSmooth RC8, the latests Paranoid Android, and the newest SlimROM. They all must be based off the same ROM, because audio quality is equally horrendous. I notice that in the Settings > Sound that there is an option to select between MusicFX and DSPManager. However, none of these applications seem to have any affect over the audio, whatsoever. I am surprised that the BASE audio wouldn't be the same as every other ROM. Shouldn't these EQ/DSP add-ons just allow you to modify the stock flat-EQ? Most people would probably want a flat EQ anyways, because their audio ends up on the car stereo, or some other device that already has these controls.
With that said, are you guys noticing the same thing? I absolutely cannot get Pandora or Spotify (haven't tried any others because I don't care,) on these new ROMs. I hope this isn't what the latest CM10 offers, because I am about to flash to that now.
Oh man, I just loaded up the latest CM10 stable and it has the same problem... At least DSPManager can modify the EQ for the entire system, not app-specific. Even still, it sounds nowhere near as good as it did before. While I'm flashing my phone I am playing feeding the same Beacon "The Phoenix" audio cube on my desk with my Transformer TF300T and it is shaking the whole surface with bass, and sounds very full. I played with all the EQ settings, and went manual and got nothing remotely close using my S3 with these ROMs.
Just restored my CM10 11/7/2012 nightly and it has flawless audio over bluetooth--but other issues like missed calls, etc
You silly op you.that's backwards dspmgr is simply part of the general aosp experience and all aosp roms recently developed that bug

I dug through quite a view AOSP-based ROM threads and could not find anything. I don't understand how anyone could possibly use these ROMs with that horrifying bug?
Freeze or uninstall DSPmanager then install a new audio engine (I use team AC!D's), problem solved.
EDIT: I've never had that happen before but I always freeze that app and I've been using AC!D audio mod since the beta for this phone.

I just bought power amp and all of my songs are extremely low quality. This doesn't seem to be a problem on aokp for my cousins s2. Wonder if its an s3 only deal.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Its terrible...I cant even use any of these ROMS because of this!
I don't have issues over wire, but Bluetooth is borked in aosp. Due to the transition to 4.2 don't expect quick fixes so.... I moved to a tw rom mainly because of bt and ril related battery drain.......

Is this supposed to be a 'feature?' If so? They should remove DSPManager and let us decide. I would always prefer some flat EQ so that I can process it elsewhere.
I have 2 sg3's one Jelly Bombed and one CM10 based. Side by side TW BT sounds better. 1 fix for CM10 is after starting BT audio go to your phone and make a call (I just dial 123) then hang up as soon as it connects. Viola, bass is back and audio is tolerable... hope this helps you out

Is anybody else noticing a drop in in-call volume since the 4.1.2 update? I have DSP manager installed on my OG from before the update and still call volume is ridiculously low. Any suggestions? Maybe uninstall and reinstall DSP manager first?
I've noticed the same thing and I've found no way to make it louder.

I took DSP Manager off my phone and went back to the stock sound setup. I'll let you know if it worked to cure the call volume problem. May be something we have to report to LG.
I'm experiencing the same thing. More times than not I am unable to hear the caller on the other end well enough to hold a conversation.

So I took DSP manager off and no dice. I'm wondering if I might HAVE to root it and put on a new ROM and maybe put Awesome Beats on the phone in order to get the results I want.
I think this is something that can be modified with the kernel. I remember on the galaxy nexus there were a few Franco nightlies he was testing that had in call volume issues. Some were too low some were crackely. If he was able to modify something within his kernel to effect call volume then I'm sure it can be tweaked to a higher volume.

4.4. Has improved sound volume
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
call volume low for me as well. oh by the way im jeremiah, been lurking for years first post. 4.4 fixed volume for me as well but then after two day running 4.4 phone soft bricked and now im back on 10.2 until it gets developed more. any fixes on volume would be great. thank you all developers for all your time and sweat to help us with our devices, you are greatly appreciated and not valued enough.:good::good::good:
My dsp manager just makes everything sound worse and distorted. The only rom that doesn't do that is hyperdrive for me. Every other rom just makes it worse. It not my headphones either as I have beats. Any ideas on why this is happening?

You could try using another sound mod. You could try awesome beats, ac!d, viper, etc.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
awesome beats wont work. it either wont make any effects or distort it. and acid works only for the enhancements that it makes on its own. if i do anything else it will have the same effect.
I have one that works, I know because I tried about 20 of them and this one works with everything I tested, its only glitchy with play music.. The thing is I don't remember what thread I got it from so I don't know if I'm allowed to just post a link to it
