[Q] Volume on Sense ROMs - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm sure others have noticed that Sense ROMs have less volume than AOSP ROMs when it comes to playing music. For myself, it is particularly noticeable when the phone is connected to my car via the headphone jack. Is there any simple solution to this?

[Q] Problems with Corded Headsets

Hey there everybody!
After flashing away from STOCK i've come to notice problems with corded headsets (I'm using normal headphones right now).
For Example, any kind of sound is extremely low volume, that is until i press the button (that normally would trigger some kind of phone function, or the voice search - which it doesn't).
This only exists with corded headsets for me, not bluetooth ones.
Anyone else have this? Any ideas on this?
Shoot!
I had noticed when I flashed GBTweaked on my phone, I had plugged in an older headset and it stated that my device was not compatible with my phone; even though I had no issues with the stock.
I wasn't really concerned about it as I typically use my bluetooth headset anyway... In fact I can't even remember why I had pulled out that headset to begin with.

[Q] Bluetooth Volume Adjust

Hi. I have tried many different rom's and Kernel's on my gnexus. I have been able to adjust the headset volume, and speaker volume with different rom's (curently using Foxhound), but have never found a way to increase the bluetooth a2dp out volume. I have a bluetooth reciever on my amp at home, used to play music from my Nexus S with great volume (still does) but I have never been able to with Gnexus. Gnexus plays but with the amp all the way up it is still not loud at all. When I plug direct conection to Gnexus using rca's and the headphone jack it works fine. Has anyone had any success in this area and would be willing to share the experience?
Thanks.................

Poor audio quality on JellyTime R29

I'm experiencing some kind of buzz or vibration sound while playing mid tone audio; occurs especially with male voices and phonems ending with "s".
It's like the sound you get when you use cheap earbuds with the volume turned to the max, except that it is happening at lower levels and with not as much intensity.
To try and figure out what the source of the problem is, I played the same audio file (podcast) on my PC and on my device, with a different ROM (Ice Cold Sandwich), using both big over-the-ear headphones and in-ear earbuds. I found that the same audio sounds much better on the PC and on the device with ICS.
So, the only conclusion I can make is that there's something weird with Jellytime or CM10, which JT was based on, that's causing the audio to be so crappy.
I'm going to flash the CodeFireX ROM to see if the issue was introduced by JellyTime or CM10... or Google ;p
Have any of you experienced such issues? Have you found solutions?

Distorted Audio Sound quality when connecting headphones.

If someone can present a resolution I'd be very grateful.
I'm having trouble listening to music on my E4GT when it comes to listening to music. Whenever I connect earphones the sound is automatically distorted and robotic sounding. But oddly, whenever I connect to my car audio auxiliary it plays fine. I try different options to pinpoint the problem, its not the headphones because they work with any other device (also tried multiple headphones) and its not a hardware issue because it works with my car stereo hookup. I havent tried portable speakers because I dont possess any. Its very frustrating.
Thing is this started recently, I havent changed roms or installed any apps.
Im on Jellybean 4.1.2, rooted running the latest MIUI from the Android Development thread..
Ive seen a thread before the issue started on a different forum site, but it has no search feature so I cant relocate it.
Can anyone help me out??

[Q] Streaming Bluetooth Audio Still an Issue on AOSP and Sense Roms - is there a fix?

I have done extensive testing with both my HTC One and Samsung Galaxy Nexus regarding the phantom ringing noise that exists on bluetooth audio. This issue is not only present on streaming bluetooth audio but also present when the sound file is kept on the actual phone (using Google Play Music). So far I have tried the following:
1) Tried multiple roms both sense and aosp - the ringing/buzzing noise still exists on both (DEFINITION - PHANTOM RINGING/BUZZING NOISE - a buzzing series of overtones that exists particularly when listening to jazz music that has a lot of ride and crash cymbals being played) As a professional musician, this can be quite annoying.
2) Tried going back and forth between bluetooth and auxiliary cable on both phones (HTC One and Galaxy Nexus), trying AOSP vs. SENSE roms, streaming vs. non streaming. Both phones and all roms have the same issue present, the bluetooth audio has a fuzzy clarity to the cymbals. It is worth mentioning that the AOSP roms are slightly better in terms of less Phantom ringing/buzzing but far from perfect.
My question is, does anyone have a fix for this? I paid big bucks to have Bluetooth installed in my car and really want to use it.
The auxiliary cable sounds good until you plug your phone charger in.....that presents an even larger noise issue. Please help.
Thanks,

if 2 phones and different roms still cause the problem then it might be your BT system.
what music player are you using / do any of them have an EQ system you can adjust.
what BT system do you have?

I am using an Audiovox Media bridge, however, I do not think that is the issue due to the fact that the issue improves slightly on the Aosp ROM. Additionally, when I run the aux through the media bridge I have no issues.
I am using Google play music. I have tried adjusting the EQ using Viper ROM 5.0 and have had no success. Any other ideas?
