Ever since I flashed my phone to CM10, I noticed that my audio quality has been very poor. Any music that I play through my phone through Headset, Speaker, or Bluetooth sounds very "noisy" and unclean. For example, when I listen to Trance or House music, the beats don't have enough depth and the bass is not deep. The highs don't sound very high and the lows don't sound very low. I can hear this "buzz" sound when I am listening to music. I tried to play around with the DSPManager that was packaged with CM10 but those settings do not have any effect on the quality of my sound. The audio was working perfectly when I had it on stock, but as soon as I flashed to CM10, it has been annoying the hell out of me.
Furthermore, I found that I am unable to control the volume on my speakerphone during calls. I am not sure if this is a reported bug but this is definitely an issue for me. The volume is just way too loud and even though I have it turned all the way down, it is blasting my ears out.
Does anyone else have this issue? Are there any fixes?

Maybe you all can try this out to verify. My GNex audio , playing music or .. anything really, sounds clipped and terrible at volume levels 15, 14, 13 (15 being the highest) It's worse there and gets better as it goes down. It's like something internally is causing the clipping to occur at the higher levels before it gets sent out to the headphones or the phone's back speaker. I use poweramp and i used it's pre-amp to maximum to get more volume out but still having the phone's media volume set to 11. it sounds good but it's a complete joke that in this day and age, this kind of issue should exist... it's not like audio players with headphones aren't mass produced that work just fine.
Volume+ doesn't do anything to affect this.
Hey gaetawoo.
Use Thema New Kernel Form Franciscofranco. Ist an amazing sound. My nexus sounds like a New phone
Greetings Form germany
sounds like there are a lot of issues with that kernel, specifically with the audio.
I have no issues with this Kernel. Batterylife is very good and the sound is amazing. Why dont you try the kernel. When the kernel is bad you can choose another.
I don't claim to be a pro-audiophile, but I have an exceptional interest in audio world. Try setting your Equalizer to "Classical" and adjust your taste from there. Try it and respond
this isn't an equilizer problem, it isn't a low volume problem, it is a distortion problem. with headphones on, audio is distorted at high volume levels.
My distortion happens at any volume level, to the point where it's 100% un-listenable.
Yeah with AOKP 27 and Franco.kernel I have the exact same issue. Nothing I have tried fixes it so far. Itll probably be fixed in a later franco nightly as it used to work fine for me.
Ever since flashing to AOKP, the speaker is messed up. I am having the following symptoms:
Low audio output from playing videos from the web(youtube, espn, etc..) But ringtones are still really loud
Speakerphone, people on the other end are hearing major echoes no matter where I am. It's unusable.
Audio while recording videos. The audio sounds like garbage. Very very muffled.
Anyone have any ideas?
Im new to this forum so if im in the wrong section, please let me know...
Thanks in advance
Hello,
I do not use the phone feature very often, but recently I had to take some calls while driving and could hardly understand what the other person is saying, because the speaker phone volume is really low.
Now, of course I set the volume to max and checked every setting I could find related to phone calls. I even went into the service menu and did the speaker tests. There I realized that the speaker phone is using a different speaker as the one that is used to play back music or other sounds. The same sound sample is used in the tests and it is much softer in the speaker phone test compared to the mono or stereo speaker tests.
Is there any hack, setting or configuration file change I can do to use the mono or stereo speaker for the speaker phone feature?
Please help, this is the only gripe with this fine phone I have.
Same problem here.
Solutions, anyone?
UP
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.
I don't know what happened but the headphone volume is now extremely low, to the point I have it in full volume and it sounds as if it was below half volume...
Does anybody know how to increase it?
I'm using the same headphones I always do, so it's not the headphones.
Something that can influence is the fact that, when an app like instagram plays an audio, the audio of the phone gets crazy after the app stops and the music continues. It can be extremely loud in one ear and regular in the other, extremely loud in both, or extremely low in both. Again, I have no idea why. I have not installed any apps that can mess up with the audio and this is really driving me crazy.
There is an OTA aviable, so I'll check if that has somethig to do, but meanwhile i'm getting stressed over this volume... even with headphones I can listen to conversations people around me are having...
