[Solved] Tinny sound in Android Revolution HD 6.1.5 - 6.3.1

Hello,
I am quite new to rooting but after some research I was able to successfully root my Telus DHD and went with ARHD 6.1.5. Now it is working great however the sound quality overall is quite "tinny". I have searched XDA through and through and other people seem to be having the same problem with ARHD 6.1.5. I have tried the Inspire 4G/DHD 'Tinny' Audio Fix by TurboniumX, but in ARHD 6.1.5 it kills all sound completely.
I anyone aware of how to fix this?
Thank you in advance!
UPDATE
I seem to have fixed the audio problem. I have modified the TurboniumX audio fix with updated file names/locations. Sound quality is greatly improved.
All credit goes to TurboniumX for creating the patch in the first place. All I did was update it to be compatible with ARHD 6.1.5 - 6.3.1.
Attached are the files that can be applied via CWR.

I'm still looking but no luck yet... I will post here if I find a fix.

Are you talking about tic from speaker when sound finish?

No, I found that the overall sound quality was very tinny especially during phone calls.

Did you flash the recomanded Radio for ARHD 6.1.5? It makes a huge difference between stock and recomanded Radio .

Hey,
This will resolve issues with Telus DHDs, the fix attached to my first post can be flashed via clock work recovery. If you're not using a Telus phone your mileage may very.
Place the file on the root of your SD card and reboot into recovery. Choose install zip from SD card and select the correct file.

And do I need to clear cache before doing it?

Nope, the reboot should take care of it.

Thanks for the help, the sound is better now

Glad I could help!

My mic died...
Ok, first of all let me say my audio sounds fantastic right now. I don't have a Revolution, I actually flashed this to my Thunderbolt running MIUI5, so I'm assuming this is probably going to be the root of my issue.
Anyway, since flashing, the sound has been great. The problem is when I make a phone call or answer a phone call. The person on the other side of the call doesn't hear me at all. This happens on 100% of my phone calls so I don't suspect it's an app issue.
This is the only time my mic doesn't work though. When I use any apps that utilize the mic (ie, voice search, voice text, .andi, etc) it pics up my voice. Also, when making a call, if I turn on speaker phone the person on the other side can hear me. The problem with this, if I'm talking about something "sensitive" I don't want to broadcast my conversation to the world .
Has anyone else had this issue? Does anyone have any suggestions other than trying a different ROM? ( I REALLY want MIUI, but I have to have good sound)

Hi folks, is anyone having issues getting this rom to start? I get stuck on the booting "google" icon with moving gears animation. Let it sit for 18 minutes before pulling battery. Below is how I installed:
1. Factory reset.
2. Wiped cache.
3. Wipe dalvik.
4. Ran dark wipe.
5. Ran kernel cleanser
6. Installed this rom's latest release.
I do the above steps for all rom's I've tried and never an issue with booting.
Any suggestions? In meantime, gonna try again. Thanks

Final update. Went back to non-Touch recovery and now rom loads no problem. All is well.

Just started this whole rooting thing a few days ago but I've found that using Darkside Super Wipe is pretty useful thing to use before flashing a rom. Here's the link for the wipe and more info about it:

A simple answer without knowing what you are able to deal with:
Go with RC8 and flash the theme here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568128
It will be close to perfect...
BTW: you need to go through the development topic to see all the problems. I think nobody would want to do this for you

Sorry for the possibly-newb question, but does the "Customizable Hardware Keys" mention in the OP mean that I can change my stupid search button into a multitasking one?!?! That would be AMAZING!

I want to flash the new ROM (RC10) how is it in your opinion. For example the cons and pros
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using XDA

RC9
I know it says that RC 9 is experimental, but according to the bug list it doesn't seem so bad. Anybody have any personal experience with it?

For those wondering about the status of all the experimental versions, I will give you a quick rundown of my personal experience with them as far as ability as a DD is concerned.
RC 8: Good DD after inputting APN settings, didnt come across any errors, everything seems to work, except for receiving mms messages, a few others reported the same problem.
RC 9: I personally never had in call audio working, which was reported by others as well, as a result I reverted back to RC 8.
RC 10: Still early in its development, was released early mainly so RaverX3X could get some logcats on things he could not personally test. audio is not working, data (calling, texting, etc) is not working. Unless your looking to help RaverX3X out with logcats and such i would stick to RC 8 or RC 7 as your DD
RaverX3X or anyone else feel free to add or correct me if I'm wrong or missed something.
Edit: Also I installed all roms with non-touch CWM with no problems.

Something tells me this simply means you can turn on the on screen hardware keys, similar to what the Galaxy Nexus has. I have yet to figure out what value this is for a device with these very same keys in hardware already, but some people find it cool. I haven't seen a mod that will allow me to reassign my hardware keys to do something else, but I can hardly claim to have seen them all.

Darn, this makes sense. HOWEVER, if Raver or any other developer wanted to allow us to reassign the hardware keys, that would be much appreciated and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one to appreciate this, as multitasking takes a little longer than it should. Thanks either way though!

Nandroid and than give it a try.

Tweak Script: Newest Supercharger V6 ICS with modified services.jar, KAK, 3G Turbocharger

I was wondering if any of the builds have the people.apk? I like that way better than the regular contact app. I saw in the screen shots that it did have the people.apk but when I downloaded and flashed it did not have it. Thanks in advance.

Hey I was wondering, I just flashed the ChicagoROM. I love it, its very smooth. I have seen there is a link for the Google play store. Sorry i'm to new to post it, I tried. But I heard you just flash this like a ROM, but do you flash on top of the current ROM? I wouldn't think you wipe it before. Is this method the same for the Beats Audio upgrade?

so u know i got 2 people to pm me so ill be sending them copies of a un released build and work with them in getting the last issue fixed once done ill re open the dev thread.

I would strongly recommend reverting to 5.0.2.7 (regular clockwork recovery).
My T989 would not start (on a different ROM) when flash with touch, but 5.0.2.7 worked like a charm.

just a heads up a good friend of mine and decent dev will be takeing over and updateing the project for me.. Sence i just dont have time.. I giving him the sgs2 atm to help finish it i know him in rl so expect updates.
sorry about all the delays and not having time... Rl kicked my arse
setting him up with the latest changes so he can go from there.

Yes, you just go into CWM and choose insttall zip from sdcard. after flashing i reccomend using darkside cache wipe. You can find the download link in the dArkside evolution 3 thread

[Q] HTC One V AOKP hardware issues

Hey guys,
After trying to install Cyanogen and just getting stuck in a boot loop I opted for AOKP which was the first rom to finally boot up on the device. At first things seemed great but my flash seems to be rife with errors that others don't seem to be getting on AOKP. So here we go...
- Notification/ring tones will not play. There is no sound for some reason. (if I select the ringtone, where it would normally play is just silence)
- ALL calls are played through the speakerphone. There is seriously no way to make it play through the ear piece.
- Headphones do not work. (yes, I've used different headphones, etc). If I have them plugged in the music still plays through the loud speaker (rear speaker)
- I can't send or receive picture messages (not a carrier/provider issue)
- Can't play videos (I have tried the youtube app, youtube website) videos simply just do not play
- Numerous multimedia file errors (if I try to open a video on a website I get a "Sorry, this video cannot be opened") and if I try to open some audio files I get the same error.
Anyway to fix this? I've flashed the latest kernel in the AOKP Primou thread, as well as numerous others (hellboy, etc) as well as just a CM10 kernels. The hellboy one just gave me a bootloop and every other one makes NO difference.
Any help guys?? I tried to post in the Primou AOKP thread but I don't have the correct "privileges" yet because I haven't posted enough.
HELP!

My apologies, I forgot to mention I don't have a recovery of the stock ROM. It's a long story but basically the only functioning ROM I can use is this one. I've also tried running the RUU but it says that it's the wrong file version, despite it being the right carrier/radio, presumably due to the stock rom not being on the phone. Is there any way to push the RUU onto the phone?

You can force HBOOT to install the RUU for you. Just look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018518 under the "Solution #2" heading. Just remember to rename the .zip file on your SD card once you're done, or HBOOT will find it every time you boot to the bootloader.

I am stuck with same issues.
And as far as I know there is no problem from your side.
It is just because build is not fully stable yet.
I tried to post comment regarding it to developers profile but couldn't do it as m new to this site. Hope to have a more stable build asap.

Did you full wiped before install ? If so check for Alex-V kernel and try that one.

Thanks will try... the other option - I forgot the exact URL - but googled it to find that clearing the Dialler app cache and offline data solved the issue. The other setting probably the most important one was to set autounlock on ring in Lockscreen setting in Viper tweaks menu - touch wood haven't had this issue anymore... but nevertheless moving over to Cyanogenmod as I am missing 4.2.2
regards
JV

Yeah I've seen this happening a lot on Viper X Recently, and as stated attempt a Full wipe before flashing, other than that you could try a new kernel? Not that I think it'll make a difference but its an option to use.

Cannot listen to sound files?

I have copied over mp3 files from a computer to my rooted phone, and I cannot hear anything when I play them at all. Sound works fine outside of listening to music, such as in app sounds, ringtones, videos, online music players, but local sound files are just silent.
I use Google Play Music to listen to audio, and I noticed if I play a file, then restart the phone while it is "playing" it plays just fine when it reopens, but only that file, and only that session. Replay doesn't work out. I tried playing the sound files from Google Drive, and I get the same result. It can't be the files because I can play the same files from Google Drive from my computer just fine.
I got an M8 rooted with aokp task650 at&t and this only recently started happening

Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Please standby while we have your thread/question moved to the appropriate sub-forum for your device.
For future reference you can find your device sub-forum here (bookmark/subscribe this):

Good luck!

Still no fix I've tried everything can't get around it. I've reinstalled apps that are involved and still nothing. (Also I have tried several players and its definitely not that)

Have you tried wiping the data and cache for Play Music? Or using a different music player?
Transmitted via Bacon

Yes I've wiped the data and cache, retried, uninstalled reinstalled, retried, and then tried many different players on the play store, nothing works. Although I have noticed something unusual there is just one audio file that actually plays, all the other ones won't. They all play just fine on my computer and directly from Google Drive, but when I play from Google Drive on my phone it doesn't seem to work, so it can't be the files.

Sorry but I honestly have no idea why that might be happening.
Transmitted via Bacon

Do you have any idea what I should do? Should I just deal with it? Maybe I should just factory reset and reflash everything and see if its still there but thats a lot of work for what seems to be a trivial issue

I'd definitely try a factory reset. It isn't something you should have to deal with at all.
Transmitted via Bacon

Alright I will try to do that this week

I have wiped everything and factory reset, then I flashed the rom again. First thing I did was check the music from google drive, still not working. I've done all the things I did last time to see if music works but I'm getting the same results. I'm reluctant to switch roms again because I doubt that will change anything. I used to be able to play music and that was on the rom I am using currently.

update: I've downloaded and tried Pandora Internet Radio and even that doesn't work it just plays silence like all my other audio files. the restarting to play a track on the widget still works for some reason

You probably need to update your firmware. Do you have any audio mods installed?

Can the kernel be an issue? I've never really changed my kernel but i remember long ago i had some app that modified my kernel that was related to sound maybe that messed things up? Do kernels get reset when wiped or are they persistent?

can you direct me to a kernel that is compatible with my rom? I can't seem to find one that's safe to use.

That is remarkably vague. If you don't know or remember what you did to the phone, than neither do I, and I can't help you.

A kernel will only be replaced if you flash a ROM or kernel. The kernel is part of the ROM, it won't be wiped by a factory reset/user data wipe.

The kernel is part of the ROM. If you don't know if you modified the kernel or not, just flash the ROM again, and it will re-install whatever kernel comes with the ROM.

Hmm then I guess its unrelated to the kernel because i've flashed several times after this problem started. Should I try a different rom or would that not make a difference? It isn't the rom because this used to work on the exact same rom beforehand.
