I had this before the 1.28 update, I read somewhere it was to do with the beats sound profiles but it was resolved for me with 1.28. Try turning beats off and see if it continues.

same here
I also had a the crackling sound issue. Whenever I turned the volume up or down I got the crackling sound after the volume slider (on screen) disappeared. I had an equalizer app installed and when I disabled the crackling sound issue disappeared? This phone has a lot of issues and I'm beginning to regret having retired my HD2 :-(

EQ apps don't work to well, I got dpsmanager working without issue (check sig) but you need to flash it in cwm or trying to edit the EQ FC.

So an app you downloaded causes a problem and you blame the phone?

Can you try something?
Mute volume and open twitter or Facebook. Pull the screen down in order to refresh and stick the speaker to your ear. Do you hear that crackling sound?

Hey I used to have this issue too... was really effed up at times it would crackle away like a peanut in the fire after a message tone.
I turned off "quiet ring on pickup" and "pocket mode" in the audio settings.
Then restarted the phone. One of the two caused issues I guess. Neither I see as a feature I must have so that was that.. no more crack!

haha can i suggest something
if the phone is laid down on some surface, raise the phone and try again
if the speaker is covered it makes crazy sounds, guess because of micro holes

ok so the fiss i got through me head phones annoyed me so i turned of beats just used DPS manager and the hiss is almost gone, can't be heard on songs with "quite" bits and only just hearable when volume is right up.
beats seems to make the hiss a lot worse.

Had this once. Restarted and it was gone

This solved the problem for me, thank you very much !
First post btw xd

I had this issue. Do any of you have Volume+ installed? I had the 'volume level' set to +20 for the speaker within the app, and upon turning this off it seems to have stopped the popping.

i had this problem for about a day or so.
make sure in the sound settings, that any music effects are turned off, and when you turn on your phone, that no headphones are plugged in. then, when the phone is on, plug in headphones / use any dsp or music effects. for some reason i would get snap / crackles etc. if the headphones were in when i started the phone.
hope that helps!

I have the same problem, but with HTC Desire X and I don't know how to fix this. Problem occurs when screen goes off. I have the latest officialy JB update 4.1.1...Two times I reset the phone to factory settings, tried with clean system without any other installed apps, but audio pop/click/drop/jump randomly occurs and listening music is irritating... I contacted HTC support but no answer... HTC Wildfire, which I had, played music without problem...

The problem lies with beats...beats adjusts sound settings throughout the system, so when there is an extra sound, it cannot be converted to beats mode and so causes these weird sounds..try playing a game while listening to music with beats on, you'll get my point...one solution is to turn off volume completely (put it to silent) before starting music playback...hope that helps

I have long suffered the same issue that the OP is talking about. It is a seemingly random pop/crackle noise that happens AFTER touching the screen or after a vibration. It is very strange, almost like static buildup that is then played through the speaker. It doesn't matter if haptic feedback is on or off, or if the phone volumes are turned off. It also doesn't happen every time, or can happen multiple times in a row.
Someone mentioned at one time that it might be NFC related, but when having the problem I can toggle the NFC on and off and it doesn't fix it.
However, it has magically disappeared over time on certain roms, and I have managed to keep the same "data" backup that I reflash after a fresh rom install. A fresh install of nearly any CM-based rom has the problem. It leads me to believe that some setting stored in the data partition causes/fixes the problem. I would really like to figure out what it is so that I can actually do a fresh install without carrying over junk files from ancient rom installs. Does anybody have any ideas?

The crackling and pop sound is when you hear the DAC being muted after its not in use, This is totally normal, to reduce this effect try disabling any equalizers you may have or anything else that would modify sound in any way.

[Q] HOX Sound Clicking

hi all,
i would just like to ask if anybody has encountered sound clicks? this happens to me currently when my phone sounds beep (when sending msg on whatsapp and viber, refreshing msg on facebook) then I will hear sounds clicks like three or more clicks?
How can i fix this? please help.
my phone is not rooted and on stock jelly bean 4.1.1 with software number 3.14.401.31
please help.
Thank you so much.

I'm not sure what you exactly mean... Could you describe the "clicking" a bit more precisely?

Sorry for the confusion. the sound is like ticking. After I make a sound on my phone like sending message on viber and watsapp, there will be a ticking sound (maybe abount 3 or more ticks/clicks sound). the tick is intermittent. please help.
thanks,

I had this a lot when I first got my phone, it seemed to get fixed with the later ics roms I used but its returned since being on jb.

i never had this before on ICS. Only now on JB.

Might have something to do with the audiodriver, i recall a similar issue on one of the musicbox mods ....... the closing of the sounddriver caused small ticks like you descibed. As if it is getting a peak signal.

Hi, I experienced the same on my HOX some days after purchasing it last August. It was running ICS and in my case I had installed a Sound Equalizer app which in my case seems to have been the reason of the clicks. I wrote to the assistance service and thay suggested me to remove this crap and since then I had no clicks ever. If you have any Equalizer or Sound Booster app, I suggest you to remove them and give it a try without using them. I hope this can be helpful to someone and please excuse my english.

I don't see why everyone is worrying about this. The sound clicking you describe is more like a POP when a sound or music has ended.
Let me Explain why this happens:
The sound vibrations are immedietly stopped when the DAC mutes itself when it's no longer needed, this immediate stop for the vibration makes this POP noise. You can get these sounds in all types on electionic devices which can output sound, it's totally normal
You cannot stop these from happening permanently, but there is a way to reduce this. Turn off all sound-altering applications (EQs, Reverbs, Virtualizer, etc) this will cause the sound to vibrate less and thus reducing the loudness of that POP noise
I suggest you to never modify the speaker's audio as the POP noise might worry you (Much louder POP sounds) but there won't be any problem with the speaker
If you like to modify your audio, you will have to get used to that popping noise (like me) and it will sound normal to you in the future.
I hope this information was very helpful

Very ! Nice to see you here zero ! Still developing outside xda, i still have the link from your website but hasn't been there for a while

I think i found what makes this sound ticks. Its the equalizer app that I installed. I tried to turn off the app and the sound ticks were gone.
Thanks for all your responses.

Notification sound "fading in" effect

Hello xda,
Any time I receive a text or mail the notification sound starts low but quickly ramps up in volume. Is anyone experiencing this as well? Is there a way to set this so it's loud from the start? Hope that makes sense.
I appreciate your help and time

I noticed when the phone rings sounds only by the lower speaker, and sound very low and muffled.

Do you have pocket mode enabled under the sound settings?

Turning off "Pocket Mode" did make a "slight" improvement, but not much. Thanks for the tip though. :good:

Many others (including myself) have noticed and posted about this issue here (though not enough in my opinion). It's not restricted to notifications and ringtones either, it happens with *all* sounds on the phone.
Unfortunately, there is no way to fix it. Different sound drivers, updated firmware, build.prop settings... Nothing seems to get rid of this "speaker protection" crap. I am still hopeful to someday see a mod or firmware update that addresses it though, because after trying all those different things, I've run out of ideas.

I've also noticed that, it sounds fine when I preview notifications and ringtones, but when the phone actually rings it is a lot more quiet and muted. It does appear that the top speaker is not being used for ringtones. I'll try to call htc, let's see what they say.

Called HTC, spoke with a girl who sounded like she was following some sort of flowchart. Needless to say she couldn't help and concluded that it was a defective hardware. I tried to explain that others are having the same issue and it appears to be a bug, but I don't think she understood. They are sending me a new phone. I'm sure the new phone will have the same issue. Maybe if more people call HTC with this issue, they will figure it out.

Hi there
the same problem here, without any mod, crack o root solution. But the difference were the answer from HTC technical support: " this is a technical and engineering design, it´s not a bug", this mean: " f**** you costumer, and again, a new dissapoint from HTC. I has tried in several forums, here in XDA and another ones: nothing for to do, i loose my faith in the HTC 10. It´s very frustating because a little detail ( the ringtone volume and quality) destroy a overall experience

OH, so they know about it? This is a technical and engineering design fu**-up. My notifications are half the volume of the M8. If that is their answer, then I will probably return my phone.

Any solutions yet?

On mine it rings from the bottom speaker for about 3 rings, quiet, then ramps up and uses the top speaker too. With V4a on now once the top speaker kicks in it's very loud. It gives me a chance to answer it before it blasts me out.

I just bought a new htc 10 and quickly noticed this annoying sound fading in issue, searched online and this seems to be the only place talked about it with no solution, does everybody else really okay with this??
I guess at least it sounded fine when using headphone, but with this speaker fading crap everything sound like its echoing right now. This NEEDS to get solved.

Any solution ?

I came here to search for any ways to turn this "feature" off (and that's what it is, despite how nobody asked for it or wanted it). Looks like nobody has found any solutions. But here's my theory anyway:
The "fading in" volume effect must be a function of the Boom Sound software. It's a noise gate. And it sucks. For instance, try listening to any music that has any hard hits around any silence (a good example is "Brain Stew" by Green Day). It's really annoying.
I wish somebody could figure out how to disable the Boom Sound software altogether.

According to Google, https://www.google.com/search?newwi...0i22i30k1j33i22i29i30k1j33i21k1.0.leWX0kmgR6I it's a known Feature of Android 5, and many people complain about it, but there is no way to disable it.
Some people can workaround the issue, on some rom, with some apps or players; there is no universal solution.
In the best case, some chat app will not bell if they are already full screen; and this is an issue for me because if I have my phone plugged, and display timeout is 1h, then, it won't bell for incoming messages, and if I am >1m from it, I won't know people are talking to me. That's why I try to always make all apps always bell. But, if I am listening to music, the permanent bell that comes with intense chat may turn the music off all the time.
I not sure if I shall downgrade my phone to Android 4, 2.2, or 1.8 ...
.. arg, I am stupid, those versions have never been ported for my most recent phone.
