Ever since I've flashed this rom and kernel, i've noticed bad sound quality while on a call. Especially if I'm plugged to my car stereo via aux- I have to turn up quite a lot than usual and I can still barely hear. The call quality through the hand set is a little more forgiving but the volume is lower than usual. Another thing I noticed is that when on a call, the call volume settings slide, but seems to be nonresponsive in regards to functionality (i actually turned volume way down during a call and remained the same volume). Any fixes or thoughts?
Could try flashing some different kernels and radios

Reflash the rom to overwrite that kernel. I use the same rom wit stock kernel and all is well.

I had the same setup yesterday. I noticed the bad sound quality as well. It was fast but not as stable as with the stock kernel. I wiped cache and fix permissions after full day of use to see if that would help any and then my phone got stuck in a boot loop, lost recovery, and root. Had to flash samsung recovery and stock rom with odin.
Just a tip. But I never flash a kernel when trying a new build for at least the first day. That way if you have problems its much easier to tell if its rom or kernel related.
If you're running one of the jb based roms, djintrigue posted the stock kernels yesterday.
Flash one of those and see if it stops.

This has been happening on my Epic 4G for awhile now and it's really frustrating. I'm pretty sure this hasn't been happening the whole time I've owned the phone, but at this point it's hard to really remmber.
Basically, when I make or receive a call, within a couple\few minutes of the phone call the caller suddenly can't hear me - this happens whether it's using the phone normally, in speakerphone mode, or even a headset. As soon as it happens and the other caller starts the "Hello? Are you still there?" I can fix it by toggling the speaker on and off (or off and on) and it fixes it - but it can suddenly start again at anytime...couple of minutes later, five minutes later, etc.
Right now I'm slowly removing apps from my phone after every call this happens on - my goal is to determine if a particualr app is confusing my phone. I don't think it's the ROM or modem I'm using (Frozen 1.2, EC05) as I did a stock flash and flashed to those just recently and others aren't having the same problem. I DID restore some data so if I can't narrow down an app that's causing it, not restoring any data is my next option (but even more time consuming to figure out specifically which data is causing issues).
I'm pretty sure the phone hasn't always done this so I don't want to exchange the phone considering I don't have any other issues and I think this is software, not hardware related. Has anyone experienced anything similar to this?
Have you tried switching Roms, I have this same problem on EC05 when I moved to gingerbread it stopped happening.......
Do you voodoo installed?

I do have Voodoo installed (since it comes with Frozen 1.2). I haven't tried switching ROMs yet but I have started looking again (I was pretty content with Frozen but if no one had a similar issue and changing the modem doesn't work then a ROM switch is my next try).
Thanks to others who suggested changing modems - I'm going to do that now and see if EE03 fixes this....*crosses fingers*

Go into you Voodoo sound settings and change recording setting to Original. Shoul fix your issue.

Yes! Mine started doing this a couple months ago, and I resolve it exactly the same way (though I have to hit the volume button once, either up or down, then toggle speaker on then off). It's definitely not the ROM because I've had it with both Froyo and GB ROMs. Unfortunately, I haven't found any other solution, yet. I'm hoping it will go away with official GB, but I have no real reason to think it will work. I'm going to play around with the Voodoo sound.

you guys shouldn't be having this problem make a backup then odin to ec05 stock and check if you still have the issue if you do just take it to sprint and show the tech your problem they should fix it or get you a replacement phone.
I have the same issue. I am completely stock. It usually happens 10 to 15 minutes into a phone call. I've already called sprint, taken it to a store but only reflashed the os, and I just recently spoke to someone on chat, who said the problem has been solved. If it happens again should I get a replacement phone?
Blankrubbers fix actually worked for me

I had this problem as well. I odinned stock and problem solved. Now I'm back on bonsai with no problems.
Edit: I just noticed that I don't have voodoo sound installed, I know that I used to, maybe deleting that solved my problem and not odinning back to stock.

speak up i can't hear you
Sadly even after changing modems and making the adjustment in Voodoo Control I still have the same problem. Going to uninstall Voodoo all together and see if that resolves anything.
I just discovered that I'm having the same problem after I Odin'd back to stock EC05 for a different reason. So, EC05 and EC05 modem, and I'm having a problem that I didn't think I was having before I tried EF02.
Could something have been changed that going back to EC05/EC05 modem didn't resolve?

This problem is not generated by Voodoo. I have a stock Epic (rooted) and have never had Voodoo installed on my device and I have intermittently had this problem in the past (haven't seen it for a while, though). My friend has an Epic (never rooted) and also has this problem.
About the only thing I've heard that people have said fixes this is to wipe cache and dalvik and then flash something using Odin. Stock or custom I don't think matters.
As others have noted, uninstalling Voodoo didn't fix it for me. I think what must be causing this is everytime I wipe and install a clean ROM I restore some data through TiBackup and SOMETHING I'm restoring is causing this. Guess I'll just have to wipe and be very careful about what I'm restoring.
This might be completely random, but by chance did other people that experience this problem happen to install NZBAir?
alright,
Just bought a used gnex for my girlfriend and setting it up now.
Everything went fine (unlocked bootloader, flashed cwm + aokp b31 + franco kernel)
But after i set everything up i recognized that there is no sound coming out of the speakers. I rebooted several times and sometimes it worked after a reboot sometimes not.
So i tried some kernels and roms (cm9) but i got the same strange behaviour:
After some reboots there will be no sounds coming out of the speakers... (tried ringtones, yt videos,...)
I noticed that sometimes at first the sound works (when typing in the pin code) but after a short period of time the sound is gone too.
Last step i flashed the official factory image from the google site and relocked the bootloader and everything worked fine....
whats causing this? i would like to use custom roms on this phone
Did you wipe after installing the custom rom/kernel?
yes i did
wiped data/cache/dalvik
Have you tried BAMF Paradigm and if so, what is the status of the sound? I am not knocking any of the other roms out there, but that is one I have personal involvement with and have complete knowledge of.
Have you tried to use stock AOKP kernel? Had no issues with that one.

Could be a faulty headphone plug where is phantom senses a headset. Do sound get out of the headset?
Also try my app here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22244838&postcount=8 (unzip to get apk) which forces the sound to the speaker even if the phone senses that it has a headset connected.
Hi everybody, for about a week I experience the following annoying problem. When I call someone or receive a call I don't hear the person on the other side of the line through the normal speaker. When I switch to loudspeaker I can hear them loud and clear. The strange thing is that it does not always happen. It is definately not a hardware problem, the speaker sometimes works fine. When I can't hear the person on the other side pressing the volume-up button several times sometimes solves the problem and suddenly the audio works...
I noticed the problem earlier this week after I flashed CM 7.1 again. Before I had an Andromous rom with ICS installed, but I didn't like that one so I flashed my good ol' CM 7.1 again. When I noticed the problem I upgraded to CM 7.2 (with full-wipe) and also flashed another radio. Unfortunately all these things did not work...
Does someone have any idea how I can fix this annoying problem?
Right now the call function of my phone is pretty useless
Ps. the person on the other side of the line can always hear me.
full wipe, multiple rom flashes, even with it being intermidete it sounds like hardware, slight chance the flex is going bad, more likely the speaker needs to be replace or at least fiddled with. any recent drops?

It is certainly not a hardware issue. When I install Skype and dial the Echo / Sound Test Service I can hear the everything just fine through the earpiece.
then you aren't wiping properly, fastboot -w or superwipe or both. the stock dialer doesn't have sound issues that I'm aware of and there must be curroption somewhere. change the radio will not change this, flash a vinilla rom after a full wipe and see what happens, don't restore anything

Still having this problem...Back on CM 9 (RC2) after wiping everything and again flashing a new radio. Matched RIL and everything. Nothing seems to work. Microscope is still working sometimes, but most of the times it doesn't. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
People have been complaining about not being able to hear me during calls. I had someone call my home phone from my cell and the voice sounds extremely muffled and quiet; however, regular voice recorder through a separate apps works fine.
I'm running the latest radio (UVMC6). This problem started while using the ParanoidAndroid ROM. I have since switched to HellyBean but that has not fixed the problem. Toggling noise supression doesn't seem to fix the issue either...any ideas?
only thing i can recommend is try a clean install format system in mounts and storage, and wipe data factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik ,and try to flash the ROM again to see if the problem is still there you pretty much have tried everything which is good. do you remember any ROM where this issue was not occurring ???

I was using SlimStar before PA and the first few build of PA seemed fine as well. Started happening about a month ago. I did a clean install going from PA to Helly. I'll try it again and see if it works.
Also the new PA roms have been using custom kernels , PAC is really picky the way it boots up and if you don't have the MC6 radio and a certain kernel sometimes wont boot i know this has nothing to do with your issue but just thought I'd let you know. and is just muffled or literally really low volume ??have you tried with headphones to see if this problem is there ??
Seems to happen randomly to some on 4.2.2 roms.
Only thing I can suggest is TW 4.1.2 roms.

Still no dice... Currently running Shadow 1.4 ROM and call recipients still complain about my voice being too quiet/dropping in and out.
Could it be a hardware issue perhaps?

Yup. Bad microphone? Get any water in it? Or a carrier issue...bad signal? I assume you have newest radio...or it wouldn't work at all.
Did you try a couple 4.1.2 roms to be sure. Maybe even try stock....or ics even. Just to be sure.
Did you go into phone settings and check enable noise surpression.

I am running stock rooted rom. When paired with my car bluetooth, the call volume is extremely low. Is there an easy fix for this? Would a custom rom fix this?
Getting my phone replaced next week due to bad charging port. Hopefully the new one will not have this problem.

Did a new phone work? I have been having the same problem and nothing fixes it. I have tried different ROMs with no success. I thought stock would fix it but i still have the same problem. Its hit or miss. On the first call that i make from my car the audio is normally great. As soon as i hang up and make another call, the audio drops and i have to crank my stereo volume up to the max just to barely hear.

I tried Mahdi, had an improvement in normal call volume but nothing significant with bluetooth volume.
I haven't had a chance to test my bluetooth volume yet, but I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524083 and it has increased my in call volume. Only difference is I used a value of 10 instead of 100. I'm hoping the bluetooth volume will increase with this mod.
I was able to increase my Bluetooth volume to more than acceptable level, very pleased with this mod.
