[Q] Audio Bug

So here is my story , 2 roms behind I was on 4.0.4 rooted which was kind of slow for , then I moved to KANG CM9 it was very fast and stable BUT I always listen to music on my phone either stream radio or MP3 the problem is once I make a call or open web brwoser anything... the audio goes down lets say audio is at full and I make a call with headset on on FULL VOLUME it's like 30% when it is how it's suppose to be...
how I get around this?
1) text msg notifcation fixes the VOLUME , I text myself so idont have to wait for other people to text back
2) fix #2 reebot phone with HEADSET on on the beggining
Kernel: franco kernel
rom: gummy nex 081
Note: when I first installed gummy nex it was not happening I think it might be due to franco kernel and volume hack? I am really clueless and no one wants to help me )

I would have to agree and say that Franco's volume hack is messing something up. Try a different kernel. It's been noted that the hack does some funky things sometimes... for example, back a few releases ago when it was first implemented, when I plugged in an audio jack into my phone, it would act as if I'm taking an audio jack in and out every 2 seconds. Newer releases have fixed this for me, but it still might be buggy for some users.

its fixed installed minimalistic kernel
what sucks is that I paid for the franco kernel app... oh well
Thanks!!

same thing was happening to me, fixed it by using the franco.kernel updater app, going to settings, selecting 'increase maximum sound volume' and entering 15. Bit of a weird bug, but if you wanted to hang on to the franco kernel there's your solution

Thanks for that! since I paid for the updater I guess I can always go back..
I can feel more smoothnes with minimalistic kernel , I am heavy texter especially in that area!
and wouldn't increasing the volume mess up quality? I always use 320 KBPS .mp3 though. Anyways thanks again

I don't know how his app reads it...
But "15" is stock volume level max.

Yea I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually increase the volume but entering default 15 ensures the max volume doesn't drop when a notification comes through. Worked for me anyway.

Google Voice Low Volume

This is ridiculous... I've had this problem for over a year on multiple phones. I'm surprised I'm still using it. I just don't even listen to my vm anymore.
Anyone know what is causing the low volume bug? Any known fixes? I get low volume on both the ear-piece and on speakerphone. I've tried turning up all my volume levels and it is still awful. Any ideas?

Nobody?? Is anyone else having this problem?

Seems to be a Google app issue...I had this same problem on roms and stock for ICS but didn't see it on GB. What are you running on your phone,setup-wise?

Still running an EL29 rom.

Yeah I'm pretty sure its the app, has nothing to do with the phone or setup.

I have the same issue with the Sprint Visual Voicemail app. Most voicemails are recorded so low that you cannot hear them (with the app). I've gotten into the habit of just calling voicemail to listen to the message instead.

This JUST started happening to me as well.
I've been running Gvoice on my androids since my very first HTC G1, and never experienced this issue until this week.
The app was working fine, voicemail playback was loud as the rest of the phone, speaker or headset.
Then later on in the day I play another one back, and it sounds like olden times, when in the silence during a telephone call you could occasionally hear AM Radio being picked up by the phone wires, very faintly.
I de-registered my phone with g-voice, cleared app data and uninstalled gvoice app, rebooted. Re-installed gvoice app, re-registered phone with gvoice, re-forwarded calls, and set the app back up, no luck.
This is horrible. I actually listened to voicemails on my phone before. I don't want to go back to using ATT's crappy default voicemail system.
Any thoughts on how to fix this? If it's an app setting, how did it "all of a sudden" fail?

Try "reducing" the sound below the mid-level
I am on AOKP milestone 6 and noticed the same low volume in Skype, Google Voice (voicemail), and Sprint Voicemail. After some tinkering I noticed that reducing the volume to a little below mid level actually brings back the sound. I am not sure if this is something specific to my phone, but you might want to try the same if you are experiencing this issue.

thanks for this! this worked for me, but I was wondering if anyone else was able to figure out why this was happening. Adjusting volume is easy enough, just a little annoying.

Google just needs to update the app. Happens to me too on aokp and aosp jb.

[Q] Music mutes while changing volume

Hi,
Sorry if this was already posted but I couldn't find anything similar.
When I'm listening to music on my GN, using latest PowerAmp and I change the volume (up or down) there's a pause in music and then it comes back (louder or quieter).
The pause is very annoying.
I'm on AOKP M5 now with Franco Kernel, but I had this issue eversince I remember.
Any help appreciated.

Have you tried changing volume through the stock Google Music app?

It does work fine with stock Google Music.
It works fine with PowerAMP while screen is on. It goes into mute mode only when screen is off.
Very annoying

+1 same issue here..i dont find any solution yet

Speaker goes to call speaker after single microphone use [HELP PLEASE]

So I've been browsing the forums trying to look for anyone with a similar issue but to no avail. Now I'm not sure if this issue pertains to CM9 but I've noticed that ever since I've flashed RC1 or a later nightly, every app that uses the microphone reverts the phone speaker to call speaker. This is highly irritating as I have to put my ear to the phone every time I want to hear say, music, notifications etc. I usually reset this by plugging in a pair of headphones and then taking it back out, however the problem still persists every time I use the mic. This does not happen during calls so that's fine.
I am quite certain that this isn't hardware related because it only happens after using the microphone through some app and resets itself using the headphone workaround or a reboot. Again, I don't know if this is a singled out issue or if it pertains to the phone or the latest CM9 ROM.
Any help would be appreciated.

So after updating to RC2 and then again to the latest Nightly (20120802) I still have no luck with my loud speaker and my call speaker. To test this I usually use the Tune Me app and mess around with it and record some things but after using the app, instead of playing through the loud speaker like its supposed to, it plays audio through the call speaker.
Also, when I previewed CM10 and was playing around with Google Now with voice the same thing occurred. I don't know if there's a conflicting issue with some apps I've installed or something that installing the ROM did but any form of support would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Jelly Bean sound at half volume after call

The issue I am seeing is when music is being played on the phone and a call comes in, afterwards the music turns back on but only at half the volume. All volume indicators are at max and system sounds come through at that level. If I close the music player and re-launch the volume returns to what the phone is set at.
To put a bit of history into this issue, I had actually installed the vicious (I think) JB image on my phone back a while before it was officially released by verizon. With that release, I saw the exact same issue. I tend to listen to recorded music a lot during the day, so with this little glitch I took the phone back to ICS.
But now with the official release on the verizon network the exact same problem is happening. Mostly I have music recorded from DAR.fm and play it through that app. I do have some music in google music but can't quite remember how the details of it resuming after a call went.
So, while I'm querying the app dev guys for the various music programs I wanted to see if anybody else has seen this type of issue.
Thanks

I'm running CM10 and I notice the same issue but for notification sounds. When the sound alerts, it dims the music volume. Once the notification is done sounding, the music volume does not return to normal.

Glad I'm not the only one seeing this.
I know issues brought up here have been noticed by the folks working on the official releases, but is there any system in place to report specific issues like this to either google dev or samsung?

There's an option in Settings > Sound I believe that sets the volume to half, it's called "Safe Headset Volume" try disabling that and see if it fixes your issue.

where exactly is this setting? I didn't see anything about headset volume anywhere in the sound settings panel.

This is only on CM10, just FYI.

ah ok. I am running the standard JB pushed out by verizon.

Sorry about that, I just know that, that was an exact feature on CM10. I don't know why it would be happening on stock unless this is a built in option to Android that is unconfigurable on stock.

Since I tried running a JB build before, and saw this exact same issue a few months before JB was even pushed out by VZ, I'm wondering if this is a bug pretty deep in JB regardless of the build. Never had the issue with ICS.

Which volume are you talking about? Speaker, headphones, or Bluetooth? I use BT audio for music in my car, and I have no problems after calls or after notification sounds (volume dims, then rises again). However I *do* have a problem where GPS is too quiet, even when music is loud.
This is music played by the Pandora app BTW.

I notice this issue when I am listening to audio through the phone speaker. Not the greatest but it's ok. I have had the phone hooked up to external speakers and it has done the same thing. I check the volume levels in settings and everything is full. Don't have any devices for playing BT audio so I can't try that one. The notification sounds and other system sounds do seem to be at the proper levels, just not the previous playing music.
I am assuming this is a bug relating to the volume transition post-call, but I'm no developer so I'm just identifying the obvious points.
The app I am using is the DAR.fm app for recorded radio shows.
