Hi folks
I've been using custom roms for some time now and getting pretty handy with tuning my dhd to my liking, but what irritates me is that all sound (music, tts, etc) is getting out of the back speaker (besides the camera) and I can't find an answer how to enable/redirect sound output to the front (call) speaker.
As i'm using miui for some time now i can't remember if the standard sense rom
used the front speaker for output (music, voice commands, etc)
Is there a way to enable that?
Good question. (I've often wondered which speaker the sound is even coming out of.) When watching YouTube, I'd like to have it coming out the front one. Do the speakers have the same output potential? (wattage)
No one knows?
its pretty unlikely that they will be the same power, if it was, htc would have already made use of it by using it aswell as the other speaker when playing music

I swear before I ever rooted, my phone was much louder, am I just quickly loosing my hearing? or am I not the only one who has experienced an across the board loss of speaker loudness?
(*I HAVE applied the pandora streaming quality fix*)
and it did help considerably, but its just not as loud with any application! streaming or not.
what can I do.

Rooting by itself wouldn't have any effect on sound quality or volume. If you are using a custom ROM or kernel, it might though... and you didn't specify if that's the case or not.
However, your sig says your are on CM6. I haven't played with it myself, but there is supposed to be a DSP in the Audio settings now for CM6... perhaps when you installed the build it enabled the DSP and set everything low?
I've noticed other threads commenting on the quality of the sound on video captured on the One X, but I'm a musician, and wanted to check that the One X videos are in proper stereo - and they are most definitely not!
To test, I recorded a video in 720p (with stero sound on, also checked with 1080p, same issue), then blew into each mic in turn, slapped on a pair of headphones and listened - blowing sound should be in one speaker then the other on playback, but both sounds are in both headphones, so the recordings are in mono (even though computer says they are in stereo).
Admittedly, not a very sophisticated test, but it did the job.
I've transferred the video to the computer and get exactly the same results. I also checked this on stock sense, then rooted the phone, installed ARHD, checked again and had exactly the same issue.
Can anyone else confirm this, then someone more intelligent than me come up with a solution? I bet it's just a software issue, but I don't have too much faith in HTC to fix it after the battery drain issue.
ROM - ARHD 3.1, Firmware - 1.28
I can confirm this. HTC One X doesn't record true stereo. Checked with a stereo recording app first - it just records one mic even after switching on stereo mode. The video recording seem to record both mics but it just combines everything up rather than keeping the channels separate.
I have original Sense ROM 4.1.1, not modified in any way
Hi all,
I really enjoy listening to music a lot, and wanted to use my Desire as a MP3 player, so I don't have to drag my iPod around as well.
Now - I get _really_ disappointed with the quality of sound that comes out of that phone.
Be it net radio, last.fm or flac music on the SD card, I hear a lot of interference from the WLAN and 2g/3g network on the headphones (you know. bssssss / dak-a-dak-a-dak, brrrrr, depending on which connection I am on). Not very loud, but very disturbing if you are listening to low-volume music.
Do you suffer from the same problem? Did anyone find a solution to this?
(I found a few similar posts, but none really matching as they cover speaker/BT headsets)
I use my Desire to play mp3 and to listen FM and streaming radio and I've never heart any interference.
Maybe it's another device what is causing the noise?
I also use my phone to listen to music / podcast and never noticed any interferences.
Did you check your headset cable (I've noticed it's the biggest unwanted noise generator when listening to music on the go) ?
Well - partly it is indeed my headset cable.
Although I am using Sennheiser cx150, which sound quality is really good in my opinion, it seems that the cable is very poorly shielded.
So I tried with various other earphones, and the interference is less. Still not gone, which still annoys me, but less.
Oh well, i gonna spend another bunch of money for new headphones until I get a new phone :-(
Thanks, all.
There have been a few threads about static, clicks, pops, etc... but nothing that really helped me figure out if i'm having a problem or not.
I have a stock GS3, purchased relatively early - 7/2 - from best buy.
I'm not happy with the audio playback quality, specifically when compared to other devices, like my iPod or old iPhone 4 that i had before this.
Either using the stock Samsung app, or using PowerAmp, which I've purchased... with all file formats... mostly FLAC, but also m4a, mp3...
Using any of the headphones i've tried... beyer dt1350, ety hf2, apple in-ear, etc... (not junk)...
The sound quality of music playback just doesn't seem "clear" to me... not any really blatantly loud static or distortion, although sometimes it is worse than others... occasional clicks, pops, etc. But mostly, just a lack of clarity... which could possibly be a constant mild static or distortion on the output.
Is anyone else experiencing it this way? Am i just being to sensitive to a different sound signature of this device vs apple's devices? I don't think so.
I'm 100% comfortable with the quality and integrity of my music files... i have a ton of them, and they play back fine on all of my other devices.
What else could it be, before i have to send it back to samsung and be w/o a phone for a week? best buy already won't exchange it for me, as i'm beyond my 30 day window.
help!
I know exactly what you mean, I'm very particular about my sound signature as well. I find using an equalizer to work wonders. But i have noticed that some equalizers dont work at all will the stock rom when listening to on device music with Google Play Music.
Have you tried using an equalizer or even installing Awesome Beats?
This is a development forum for custom OS and software... If you're completely stock, maybe you should take that up with Samsung or try some of the nice modded software...
Hey everyone. Is there a better microphone? I'm tired of recording video on this phone and having the audio playback completely distorted. I am trying to use my Hercules as a secondary video cam when I am shooting live music. It seems no matter loud or quiet the band is or where I am relative to monitors or pa speakers, the audio when played back is completely worthless and not usable no matter how I manipulate the audio track with filters, compression, removing background noise, etc... . If anyone has an idea other than buying a second GoPro videocam, I would gladly listen.
