I've had my DHD since they came out last November and I've had no real issues with it in all that time. However, I've now got a hugely annoying issue with sound where all sound, ringtones, music etc, comes through distorted at max volume where before it was clear. The obvious suggestion is to turn the volume down but even two steps down from max. volume it still happens depending on the sound coming from the speaker. I don't know how else to describe it except perhaps tearing and that doesn't sound very accurate to what is happening.
I don't remember when this first started happening but I'm pretty sure it was a few months ago and I was using a Sense based ROM at the time. The issue got so bad that instead of playing distorted sound in Sense it would just cut out and all sound would stop for what seemed like two or three minutes. Switching to CM7 has prevented it cutting out but the distortion is still there so I don't think it's related to a specific ROM unless it's a volume boost that was done over all ROM builds. As anyone who owns a DHD will know the audio has always been a little on the quiet sound but the level I have the volume at now is below what I'm comfortable with.
Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to fix this audio issue? It's almost to the point now where I'm thinking of going back to stock and sending it in for repairs. Don't make me do that.. you know it's not a fun process.
I'm only replying to this in case anyone has similar issues so they can see my resolution. Unfortunately it's gotten worse, to the point that I lost all sound on all ROMs bar a few squeaks from the speaker. The in-call speaker worked fine and I could make calls with no issue but no notifications, alerts, alarms etc would sound on the external speaker.
I flashed back to stock Gingerbread and I've sent my phone off to HTC, via T-Mobile UK, to be repaired. I'm also hoping they fix the misaligned camera issue too. I'm a little worried because despite trying I could not get S-ON back before I took it in but it's using stock bootloader and an HTC RUU ROM. Anyway, I'm basically saying that it's a bad sign and will have to go in for repairs. Hopefully this will save anyone from wondering in the future if they get the same sort of issue.
I'm having the same problem.. I think.. if you are talking about the speaker that you make the phonecalls with.. not the "external" speaker.. that works fine..
it has a crackling sound with mine.
Sounds like the external speaker is busted. You already send it to repair, probably that's the only solutions.
Hi,
I had this problem before, but it has always gone away after a couple of minutes.
Since a few days (i tried multiple roms, sense and non-sense) my sound is totally distorted. It is impossible to hear anything besides noise. I cant call or listn to music or do anything that involves sound. It happens on both speaker and headphone, so i have high hopes my internal speaker isnt broken, but i have no idea how to fix this.
Thnx in advance

Hello!
Finally I have figured out how to install alliance rom(sd problem). The rom is awesome but when I listen to music or when someone calls me and the sound its full I am experiencing sound distortion problems. I can not put my phone in full volume now because am scared of the speakers. Do you know if alliance rom have any sound enhancment software and if it has how to disable it?
Hello.
I'm not sure if it's a software or hardware problem, but one day sound got distorted, if I set a low volume, there's no sound at all, just some quiet noise, when I set it loud, I can recognize music that it's playing, but it's very distorted and cracky sound.
I managed to get a new loudspeaker and replaced it, but there is no change.
It hasn't been dropped in water, as i recall it hasn't fell that day, I thought that maybe I've put him on a wet table, so the speaker got damaged, but looks like the speaker is not the problem.
I was on OpenSEMC rom then, now I'm on Trinity Vengeace, the sound is the same.
Has anybody had similiar experience?

Maybe you should try this ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320184 and by the way, your source of the problem is the kernel. Install this rom, and you will be alright.

Unfortunately, it doesn't help... It's the same. Should I try ICS with stock kernel?

Still nothing, I went back to stock ICS with 3.0.8. kernel, it's exactly the same.
Looks like the problem is in the hardware after all, I think there's nothing much I can do anymore...
Thanks anyway.

Yes there is. Take the phone to a phone service and they will repair it.
Guys,
Don't know why or how this happened but from one day to another my tablet has lost the capacity to produce sound for example with music, youtube etc.. But the speakers DO work because when I press the shutter button on camera it makes the kwnown sound, when a notification arrives it sounds it and so forth....
I've changed roms, made factory reset, now I'm back with the stock samsung rom but still can't get sound to work with basically any applicacion.
With headphones there isn't a problem, its just the speakers. So weird.
Any ideas?

I have a feeling the speakers are damaged from water damage or something to that lines, this isn't fixable with software
