headphone background noise - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

does anyone else hear a background noise when using headphones? The sound is similar to tapping 2 drumsticks together repeatedly. very noticeable in max volume with no sounds. (plug in headphones, raise to max volume on home screen where there's no sound). haven't tested with other headphones and will report back after I do...

I have noticed a noise in the background... But it's more of a tv static-like sound. But my headphones are also real loud for some reason. When I plug them in I have to turn the volume way down to almost the bottom. They were designed for iPhones, which is what I used them on, but the sound quality is just so much better than the Sammy ones that came with the S3 that I still use them.

There is a constant low level distortion when playing anything through the headphone out on my AT&T S3 - if you pause the currently-playing music etc. it remains audible for a couple of seconds then stops - is this what you mean? Lower impedance and/or more revealing headphones accentuate the problem.

seems a simple reboot fixed the problem :good:

volume in ear piece to high

hi!
does anyone have the same problem, that the volume in the ear piece (the one you are using when you are normaly taking a call and
hold the device to your ear) of the TP2 is pretty loud even on the lowest level?

Does your headset have volume buttons on itsself ?
i mean the loudspeaker at the front of the HTC Touch pro 2 the one you are using when you are normaly taking a call and
hold the device to your ear
Yes, same issue on car bluetooth - too loud, TP2 BT output level is too high. I can reduce volume in car, but sound still remains a bit distorted. Not so cool but I can live with it.

sorry but I do not meant a bluetooth device - possibly there is
a better wording for that?

CM10: WHY such painfully loud volume when switching audio output?

I swear to god my right ear is damaged from this.
If I go from listening to music with one thing to another, be it my bluetooth to headphones, headphones to different headphones, etc., the volume ALWAYS starts off EXTREMELY LOUD when the sound begins, until I hit the volume keys.
Why? Why does this STILL happen?
There's even a setting in Sound that is supposed to prevent this. That's like a straight slap to my face.

[Q] Music volume gets very loud or soft frequently (soft bass)

Any one else having issues when playing music? The volume gets soft/low when seeking through a track, so you have to turn the volume up. Though once a new track begins, it gets very loud. Also it seems the bass gets very soft until a new track. Anyone know of a solution? This is with headphones and/or Aux port.
Edit: Well i found a solution run the stock samsung music player first.
It seems to be 3rd party music players (or maybe just PlayerPro) that had the issues. The Darthstalker rom that had the volume boost which is what made the music volume be very loud or soft. I installed stock volume zip. which solved that, but still the bass was cutting out when seeking through tracks. If you run stock samsung music player first then 3rd party/PlayerPro music app. The bass should be fine.
*On the side note if anyone ever noticed light white noise hiss sounds during quiet periods of a song or at the end. From the searching i did today it seems like its based on the impedance of the headphones. The lower the impedance, the higher chance you'll hear slight hiss sounds.

Headphone jack static "hissing" sound

As title says. If you listen on low volume via headphone jack, there is annoying white noise in background. Have had this issue on cheap old phones, but didn't expect to encounter this here. Is it just bad-quality hardware or software issue? I am on latest MIUI.

have you been able to replicate this with more than one set of headphones?

Yes, I've got ones with higher impedance as well and the issue still persists.
I made a very strange observation, would be great if you could test this as well. When you are on Spotify, go to the settings section and click on equalizer. Enable it, max everything out to +10dB. Now put media volume to 0, let the song play. You can actually hear the song playing faintly (about equal volume as the static hiss is) in quiet space. How on earth can the audio leak through even on 0 volume?

the audio is leaking thru because the digital volume control never really zeros it out either before or after the DAC and when you have all the volume boosters down, you wont hear the bleed thru, but with them pegged, yeah... LOL
i would test it for you but i despise spotify. i only listen to one radio station from Romania and media i have on YTPM (youtube play music)

Question Low volume with Sony wf1000mx4

I unchecked the "disable absolute volume" and the volume will go low on Sony wf1000mx4 after playing for awhile. I restarted the phone and the same thing happen after awhile. Anyone has the same issues?
There's two volume controls
One on the earphones and one from the phone itself
I generally set the right hold as volume up, set volume max on the earphones, then adjust the phone media volume, had the same issue till I figured it out

Thanks, found the issue. It is YouTube music equalizer which is causing the low volume. Turn it off and everything works perfect.
Since we're on the topic I have had a difficult time boosting the absolute volume level on the P6P. Is it not simply a matter of adjusting audio policy? Any ideas? I want my max volume to be 50-100% higher in all areas, ear, speaker, bluetooth
