One of the flaws of the new Android Jelly Bean OS compared to iOS is the big audio playback latency - about 48 ms. This impacts negatively many applications that emulate musical instruments and the ones that do VOIP like Skype or Google Talk. For VOIP apps the audio lag also has a negative impact on acoustic echo cancellation. I have to mention that Google improved from ICS where the playback latency was about 88 ms.
This is a similar thread to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674836
but applies to Jelly Bean.
The attached package should be used only by experienced users that can eventually restore their system to the original state. I tested it on Android 4.1.1 GSM phone build JRO03C (maguro) and 4.1.2 build JZ054K.
The latency after aplying it should be 18 ms (no longer 11 ) with the new version - as reported by the "Caustic 2" app.
It does NOT work on Android 4.2!
Apps like Google Talk, Skype, YouTube, Play Music, Caustic 2, Pandora, TheDrum, My Piano... work very well with this change.
With the newest version all the apps I tested that work well with stock Jelly Bean work well with this patch, with the additional advantage of lower latency.
Status: stable (install and use at own risk)
Notes:
1) applying this might reverse changes made in other mods.
2) The "SCREEN OFF" BUG is FIXED as of July 16th night.
To install use "lowlatsnd41_18_inst.zip"
To restore to original state you may use "lowlatsnd41_rest.zip" or other restore methods if necessary.
Do not run the install twice in a row (run one install then one restore; you have to run restore only if you want to uninstall or before installing a new version when available...).
Since the volume is still a big issue for the Galaxy Nexus users I decided to address this with a Volume Boost patch.
Status: stable ( for 4.1, not tested in 4.2). Install and use at own risk...
The same rules for install/restore apply.
General comment: system updates may delete the backup of the original files; therefore the "restore" should be ran before an update followed by a new install after the update; restoring the original files is also required if the update performs sum checks.
I just installed it and my latency went from 168 ms to 18 ms in caustic 2.
Major ISSUE: When the screen is off audio is incredibly distorted (slowed down an incredible amount) when playing music through headphones. It seems to work fine when the screen is on, though.
I restored using your restore file and caustic 2 now reports my latency as 48 ms and music plays fine when the screen is off, too. Ha, I'm going to test to see if people still complain about horrible echo and delay when making GrooveIP calls over t-mobile 4G.
Thanks!

Is the distortion due to the limited clock speed?

My GNex is running at 1536 Mhz CPU / 384 Mhz GPU w/ franco's kernel. Could that be causing my issues when the screen's off? Or did you mean that the issue is caused by the SOC clocking down by the scheduler to save power when the screen is off?
I was thinking it may have happened because I'm max screen off speed was 384 it was to low. But I changed it to always hold 12Xx and it bug still persisted

I've searched and searched, and pretty much every thread I read it says to use Volume+.
My poor Galaxy Nexus suffers from low speaker volume. When watching netflix, for example in my room with no external noises I can BARELY hear people talking. My ringtones (including custom) are low for both notifications and phone calls, alarms too. Youtube seems to be sort of OKAY some videos being loud, some quiet like normal.
I tried the paid version of Volume+, followed the instructions (change musicFX to Volume+), turned down the volume 2 notches and played a song then went through all the +'s (up to +10) with NO difference while returning the volume to max.
I'm running stock 4.0.1 Rogers. Is this an actual hardware issue that can be fixed via an update? I'd prefer not to root and flash to fix this issue.. I'm still in my 30 Day return window and I'm seriously contemplating returning it.
Any ideas?
First of all you can get the app for free from www.androidaudiohacks.com...
It works really well on my gsm gnex

I don't think the Volume+ he has in the market is the one that he has worked for the Galaxy Nexus. Check out thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449513
I'm using the most recent one from his website and it definitley works....

Yes. Little to no change, even on +10. Even after rebooting, changing Music Settings to Volume+, etc.
Perhaps it's an issue with the ROM you are on: stock 4.0.1?
Maybe it needs to be on the 4.0.3? Not sure what the limitations are though, just throwing that out there. I'd contact the Dev and see what he says.....

Stock 4.0.1 is all we can update to at the moment on Rogers without rooting and flashing, something I'd like to avoid.
just go with the equalizer app instead, its so much better and will nearly double the volume when you crank each frequency up. and it ties in with the system audio api and music effects etc.
Have it set to +10 for the Equalizer, it made a difference but not much. +15 just distorted the crap out of the quality (with all sliders up).
Hi All
I've recently come over from the Desire S forum, was running a custom rom, and before that i had a rather unfortunate love affair with blackberries!
well i've got my hands on a Galaxy Nexus and i LOVE the phone! however the only downside is that this phone is really really really quiet....
its running on teh 4.0.2 update, build number ICL53F, and I've tried searching but can't seem to find a fix for this....
i'm struggling to hear the other person when i'm sitting in a library and my alarm barely manages to stir me in the mornings!
help!!!
Why not search? Install equalizer or volume+ and max out each frequency. Your volume will double for ringer, notifications, music and audio.

Volume+ is great... it's useful beyond the nexus as well. Made a big difference on our Nook Colors
I did search, and read about both of these apps, however I was thinking more along the lines of perhaps an ACTUAL FIX which fixes this issue in the nexus rather than just an app that boosts the volume...

If there's an actual fix (which I'm sure there is) it'll probably be in an OTA.

at a bare minimum, you should set your ringer/notifications at +4. I've used +6 for the past month and it's been fine.
I got it working with a reboot, +5 or similiar looks just fine
well those apps are a fix. Google exposed the audio api's after gingerbread for anyone to raise system audio output. So these apps just tie into the system audio and raise it as much as you like. Only call volume is not exposed. Sure maybe google will raise the volume in an update soon. But using apps that use the audio api really is the same thing.
The latest ota leak increased volume.

So, many of you are aware of how abysmally low the speaker volume is on the phone after getting the JB update. Unfortunately all the information on it is scattered among several different posts and threads, and I just wanted to get some clear answers and use this as an informational post for others who are annoyed by this bug.
What, if anything, do we know about why it happens? Is there a definitive fix system-wide, or do I have to use volume boosting apps? I run franco kernel, are there going to be any compatibility issues with proposed fixes? I like using mostly stock JB, can I get a ROM that makes minimal changes to the original while still fixing the volume issue?
After randomly doing a search for volume fix a few minutes ago I saw this. Did search for same exact reason (gnex 4.1.1). Awesome beats (one of multiple equalizer apps) is said to work. I'm gonna try it in the morning (so as not to have a very annoyed girlfriend at 4am). There's probably a good amount more info on this. As for the last part..pure-ish 4.1.1 aosp Roms are very pleasing...like buttah lol.

If you have Franco.kernel, download his app from the play store (it costs a few bucks, not super expensive). In the settings tab there is an option to increase the max sound volume. I recommend setting it to 2; if you set it to 3 sometimes the sound will cut out on max volume.

I have no idea if this is correct information or not, so take it with a grain of salt, but I read earlier today in the Franco thread that that setting only affects the headphone volume, not speaker volume. I can tell you it does nothing for the volume on my GNex (speaker). I love this phone dearly, but I absolutely hate the low volume. I never have music on my phone, but I use the speaker phone multiple times a day while at work in my truck. I've yet to find a fix that actually increases the speaker volume on calls, and I've tried just about every ROM and tweak around. I'm beginning to think the people that swear some of these fixes work are just having a placebo effect.

I remember reading that too. It does nothing for my GNex speaker either. Volume+ works though. I just tried it yesterday. It definitely increases the volume but only so much before it starts distorting the sound pretty bad. But it is a godsend volume wise for sure.

The dev says it doesn't work with the system stuff (like ringtones, notifications, etc.) Works for music volume on JB though.

I try Volume+ on my jelly bean nexus. Only the music volume work, not the system volume (like ringtones). I missed so many call because the ringtone vol is not loud enough even at max vol level. I know I can install ROM, but I prefer stock right now.
There are no mods available as of now for boosting ringtone or notification volume for galaxy nexus on jelly bean. All the mods like awesomebeats/volume+ and also the default musicfx only work on music volume.
I have tried all the mods on all JB Roms which claim to boost ringtone volume, but none really work. The effect if at all is very marginal.
The problem lies with the way google has implemented Jelly Bean. The solution has probably go to come from them until one of the geeks here manage a workaround.
Lets see if volume+ developer manages to release a working version.
I am currently using volume+ on AOKP milestone6(ICS 4.0.4) to great effect.
There is no point in upgrading to JB unless the ringtone volume level problem is addressed. What is the use in owning a phone which you cannot here ringing.
Really need a stock solution. The reason I have the Galaxy Nexus is to avoid flashing madness with the stock experience. Is it a tracked bug?

Doubt its a "ROM" issue. Judging by those apps, its not passing some sort of authentication check within those apps.
*Notification* led works fine. The Samsung implementation as it is on stock doesn't work, which makes sense.

Call Echo and Netflix
The only real issue I'm having now is the echo that the person you call hears that started when the fix was added for being unable to hear phone calls on answer (until you toggled speaker). I see there is a merge regarding audio in the latest nightly (0823), but it specifically references d2usc not d2att, so I'm not sure it even applies, even if it is related to this issue. Does anyone know if the echo on the other end is still present after 0823?
Other issues I still have even after a full wipe, but that aren't as important (and are otherwise well-known), are the inconsistent wake behaviour of the home button (just use power button instead), and occasional screen flicker when you don't disable hardware overlays. There's also the >160 character SMS thing, but mine seems to split the messages in half OK (instead of sending it as one message, which would be preferable).
As for Netflix I do not use it, but when browsing the changes at r.cyanogenmod.com a few days ago I came across one that stated in the comment that it was to fix the Netflix issue for our phones. It wasn't merged at the time, though, and I can't seem to locate it now. I'll post it if I do so you can watch if/when it gets merged. Either way, they are aware and working on the issue, and it seems to be fixable with ROM changes.

What worked for me was Advanced Settings, use Plex OpenGL Player, Transcode Off, Direct Play Enabled, and Device Supports HLS OFF(unchecked).
Ok so my thoughts so far after using the latest build (08/23) is that its good and I will use it as my daily driver, a few things here and there that I miss from touchwiz, but overall its an awesome rom hiccups here and there, but stable enough as a daily driver.

I gave up on the preview build a few weeks ago, but it's much better now. I won't consider going back to stock until JB is officially released.
...unless I change my mind before then.
That setting will basically stream the movie without any type of transcoding or compression which defeat the purpose of using Plex. Also you will not get audio on any video unless is only stereo. The purpose of Plex is to be able to stream your movie collection without having to worry about compatibility with your device.

Made This because i see the same question/bugs referenced in the cm thread over and over for each build so I figured id place them all here so people wont have to look. And will know its a problem to start with and to keep the general talk out of the original development forum/aid the developers with a plain list of bugs/workarounds.
Feel free to add anything im missing.
To enable developer options:
settings---) about ---) scoll to the bottom and tap build number like 8x
now power menu reboot options are there also as a safety feature

A2DP IS NOW FIXED
headphone button hangup does not work
wifi tethering on stock kernel dont work (use kt's or a kernel that says wifi fixed)
Enabling "AirPlane" mode when Bluetooth is on and in-use causes it to forever be stuck in "Turning off Bluetooth..." status. Only a reboot will fix it.
when calling an 800 or automated number you cant dial a number at a prompt. For instance "Press 1 for english" doesn't work sometimes hapens when trying to answer gv with call screening every 1 in 10 or so
Can someone pleaseee confim that bluetooth is 100% fixed it works fine for me on kt

Keyboard/touch screen a little wonky try changing the hwoverlay settings in developer options works for some.. fixed in 1/3?
Call volume low:
The in call volume bug will continue to exist until the audio enhancements ( IE DUAL MIC) are finished and merged in. For now goto phone > settings and uncheck "Noise suppression". its not a fix but it helps.

Bluetooth A2DP :
bluetooth voice dial does not work in cm10 or cm10.1. It opens but cannot "hear" any commands.
Disable voice dial in "manage apps", then install "Bluetooth launch" from the play store. After this, set it to launch activity "com.Google.android.googlequicksearchbox.voicesear chactivity" under the "Google search" application.
Now connect your Bluetooth device, press the button you would normally use to initiate voice dial, and tap "Bluetooth launch" when prompted, then tap always use.
have to use the voice command button twice, but it works like a charm!

music players not working? Download rom toolbox and open the build.prop editor search for lpa.decode=true and change it to lpa.decode=false
Camera Crashes on first start: just close it and clear data start again works fine from there on out

Edit: it could have been that I had the color effect neon on
I though it did nothing since it was on top and in 8mp camera mode it did nothing
The color effect none is on the bottom

Ya I don't see a option for the earpiece speaker. Just the main back speaker. Anything else that will fix the low in call volume?

Hey all, any idea why when I try to play music or videos with sound the phone freezes hard? I have been having the issue on CM nightly 12-24, 29 and 30th. I'm sure there's just an app that needs data wiped.
Any help appreciated.

Hey all, found a solution:
Use "File Explorer" with root access, go into /system/build.prop - scroll down until you see lpa.decode=true and change it to false, save and close and reboot.
Seems to work for now, though I imagine any new nightlies will require doing this at least for a while until they fix it.

@haynesr07, did you do a complete wipe? several times even? Sometimes stuff can leak through from your last rom and mess with your settings in your new rom, try clearing everything a couple times (2 or 3 times per item) and flash again
Also if you restored any data, that might be it, I've seen weird problems when people do that...I don't think this issue is rom specific though or it wouldnt be stable enough to be released

This is the current build props i use. Leave out the Bootanimation one if you want to keep your boot animation. Do not edit buildprop if you have no experience. Look up the proper way to use them, Dreamlogix explainsto use rom toolbox above. Dont add all in. Check if value exists and change to the new value. If an entry is missing add it but dont assume its not there because double entries cause issues and if you mess up your build prop you might not boot. Have the rom file ready in case. One would need to dirty flash to get back to current install or a backup. If on a custom kernel after reinstalling rom, run kernel cleaner and reinstall kernel. Gapps will work on the dirty install without reinstalling them.
Use at your own risk i am not responsible for damages to ones phone. This is my build prop values i add or use not my actual build prop just the values and entries that i add or change.

what else did you change other than hw and ipa ?
and if you use inverted gapps you have to reflash.

Thanks i didn't remember inverted gapps you are right. I changed and added all of the values in the txt document i posted. They weren't for a fix, i always use them. Thats a list if the values i use.
Edit: most of them all add performance in some way. I didn't use any network build props so it could be more universal for other roms...

I confirmed this morning that ktoon kernel (12/29) breaks audio (pandora, google music, 8tracks, etc) while stock kernel is fine on 1/1 nightly (clean flashed). On stock kernel, BT audio (google music) will play ok for 10-20 secs and then start fading in and out at a faster playback speed. You can reset this by making a phone call, but then you get another 10-20 secs of good audio before it starts up again. Someone should mention this on the dev thread at some point.
Also: if you're having problems with stock 1/1 nightly...do a clean flash. all my problems went away.

Your welcome, ui should be smooth with those.
I am not using any network build props is what i mean. I didn't want to play with tt for now to ensure my network works fine. So that txt document has none in it either. It is a bunch of tweaks gathered but no real network adjustments (i didn't want to negatively effect my setup or others)
