[Q] Audio buzzing/glitching during games/music - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hey,
Just got my N7 2013 wifi last week. Running it stock for now (4.4.4 w/ ART), rooted. I'm noticing audio glitching (buzzing or bzzzt sounds), during what seems like periods of high CPU usage. Mostly during games, but also it has happened when I played music in the background while browsing.
Anyone else get this? Will flashing a custom ROM/kernel help? If so what do you suggest? I googled the problem and came up with this:
https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-3423
But I'm not sure how to interpret that info. Thanks.

Hard reset that should work. I get no problems with mine so a hard reset should fix it. If not try switching to dalvik. Art is quite unstable.

I haven't had any audio problems with my 2013 N7 but... I did have to RMA my 32GB 2012 N7 for a similar problem. You can try switching to dalvik and see if that makes any difference. If that doesn't work you can try doing a factory reset using a custom recovery (TWRP) which will not wipe your storage. Just remember, if I'm not mistaken, you have 14 days to do an exchange or refund, after that your only option is to do an RMA.

Its a used device, can't RMA. But anyway, did you read what I linked? It seems that CM bug log describes the problem exactly.

I'm pretty sure that the warranty is in effect up till one year from the original purchase date when the device was new. I saw an xda member who is an Asus rep so you could send him an email and find out for sure if you want to. And it might be worth finding out if they will do a repair if you can't RMA, might be worth it. I did check out the link and it looks like it was just a CyanogenMod issue. I haven't run CM in a few years (I use the stock rom) but haven't myself heard of that problem on the stock rom. I have heard of audio problems like the one I had where the external speakers sounded way overmodulated with crackling noises at higher volumes but I'm not disputing that yours is not similar to the CM bug. Mine was a hardware issue. I did a factory reset, flashed the stock images and nothing made a difference. Fact is, I waited a couple months before doing the RMA because playing games or watching videos I usually use my Klipsch earbuds and they sounded great. Does your audio sound ok with headphones. Sorry I couldn't have been more help. Good luck!

I switched to Dalvik and the problem was still there. I flashed the latest CM snapshot (also Dalvik for now) and so far in a few days I have not experienced the problem again. I'll update this post later if it does happen...
It could have been some glitch in the stock android install i guess?

Horrible Outgoing Audio - Mic problem?

Everyone is complaining that my outgoing audio is horrible. They hear me, but it is muffled, with an echo, and not very clear.
I'm not sure if it started when I installed AOKP, or whether it started after I installed the new skin.
Ideas anyone????
Can anyone specify where the two microphones are? I know that one is on the bottom. But I can't find the other one (unless it is on top under the back cover)...?
try turning down the ear piece volume the mic can pick it up
This happened to mine as well. I had to factory reset it, but that fixed the problem. Obviously some update (most likely) or program caused it. Backup everything first (apps media and data). I then reinstalled my apps from the app store then recovered my data from the backup.
Remember, the reset will erase EVERYTHING on the phone -- including "SD" memory.

A couple of questions:
1. which ROM are you on? Are you on stock ROM or AOKP?
2. I did a factory reset before upgrading to AOKP Build 28. A factory reset DOES NOT wipe the SD card. It only wipes app data and rom data. What reset are you talking about?
I'm wondering whether this problem is due to something simple as a modem change. Feedback anyone?

Well I did a factory reset and installed AOKP Build 31 and I still have the same problem.
The factory reset DID NOT format the SD drive, so I have no idea what you are talking about.
Is anyone else experiencing bad outgoing audio?

First of all, I am sorry to hear that you are having this problem. We welcome you to our lives. A lot of CDMA Gnex and a few GSM GNex users had this issue arise more than 4 months ago.
Second of all, I don't think you searched for this issue yet, or you just haven't found it, so I'll do the search for you. This issue is somewhat prevalent.
1) the post I made about this issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604730&highlight=microphone
2) the post most of us with this issue have been following here on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403051
3) And the location map (Although, I personally believe location doesn't even matter because even according to this post, it pretty much happens everywhere):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545621
4) Google Issue Report:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24019
The bottom line:
1) there's no fix as of yet, even if some users naively recommend you to get custom ROMs, Radio, Factory Reset, the chances are, none of will work.
2) due to severe variations among devices, some have whole lot worse than others (happening as soong as 5 sec into a call on every other call), some have it better than others (never had it happen for weeks, but infrequent enough for it to be any "issue" per say.)
3) I have noticed many of the members here at XDA don't even use GNex as a phone that much but rather a very nifty computer you can flash OSs on. Hence, the issue might be a little bit more prevalent than users report simply because many of us don't use this phone as a phone.
4) When you hear from problem free users "You are covering mic with your finger", "It's probabaly user issues, check out the apps that you installed."
Stay calm, just realize that some hasn't seen this issue and do not understand what we are going through.
5) In the mean time, I recommend you not using this phone for business purposes (e.g. try landline or second phone for conference calls, etc). Or even use a flip phone for business purposes. You may also try to get a replacement hoping the other one will have less issue. But it will have it most likely as well.
Let the other party know if your voice becomes robotic sounding and starts breaking up, let them know you'll call them back as soon as you call them.
6) Contact your carrier, and let them know. Many of them actually have been telling all of us the fix is on the way since January, so who knows..
Hope this post saved your time understanding this issue in depth.
Thank you for reading my 4 months of investigation regarding this issue.
Charlescom: I read through your posts and I am doubting whether I have the same problem as you.
My OP stated that people hear me, but it is muffled, with an echo, and not very clear. Your posts state that the microphone cuts out entirely or sound turns robotic. My microphone has never cut out.
Is this really the same problem?

In a broader scheme of things, it is a similar problem or even a same problem.
I had people tell me 1) my voice turned into a static robot that chops up 2) muffled with an echo...as well..

Well it seems that the fix works for some people on the Desire and on the Nexus One on a 4.04 ICS ROM!
Can one of you tech experts check it out???
It was the only fix that worked for me--my issues were no onboard working mike and overdriven audio to listener as well as echo. I am on that rom--bcmics 4.0.4

Now we need to know whether it works on the Galaxy Nexus GSM and AOKP...
And can someone create the fix in the form of a CWM zip? Most of us have no idea how to use ADB.

Which ROM are you using now on your GNex GSM? I think that AOKP is based on CyanogenMod so I don't think CM9 would work either.
Are you having this problem with calls only or does it happen when you record audio with the mic (I.e. a video or voice recording)?
Personally, I'd stick with stock rom and kernel as the custom stuff often introduce issues here and there and troubleshooting them can be a nightmare.

I just tried a video recording with the front camera and the audio is great. Sound recording in the same conditions with Tape-a-Talk sounds pretty bad (robotic). And calls sound pretty bad too.
Could it be that the stock camera is using/not using the second microphone for noise cancellation, and the calls feature isn't?

Random Extreme Lag on VZW GNex

So here's what I've discovered.
As of now, on stock 4.1.1, the phone runs smooth when audio is screwed up. The moment touch sounds work again (or the moment I install SoundAbout to fix it) it starts lagging like crazy. Is this a hardware thing? After switching roms, kernels, versions of Android, flashing stock and locking the bootloader nothing has worked.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
So I'm having this strange issue that I don't really see mentioned previously (based on my multiple searches)
My phone was running fine until I flashed Paranoid Android (The last Jellybean 4.1 Release). On this ROM i was getting some insane lag, sluggish performance. I'd swipe on the home screen and get a huge delay or the phone would read it as a long touch and bring up the wallpapers option. Opening folders and the app drawer had some serious slow downs. It was a real mess.
I assumed the phone just didn't play well with the ROM so I flashed over to Bugless Beast. The odd thing is that the problems persisted. I would get just as horrible performance and the same sluggish visual effects and stuff. Specifically I remember even the audio slowing down and being choppy (touch sounds) until they automatically disabled themselves and the ROM ran smooth for a bit but returned to the sluggishness again.
So last night I restored to stock flashing the stock image and relocking the bootloader. Rooted, unlocked, flashed recovery again and loaded up Bugless Beast and the issue is still happening. Even got my first random reboot on Bugless Beast today after it slowed down really bad. Now I've noticed that when touch sounds disable themselves so does media audio (while the ringer and notification sounds still work). This is pretty much why I'm convinced it's a software problem and not a hardware one.
Basically I just wanted to know if anyone's experienced something similar and found a way to fix it? Probably going to reflash to stock tonight
EDIT: Well it seems like the audio thing might be a hardware issue. SoundAbout fixed that but I don't see how my audio jack could have been damaged in between flashes.
EDIT 2: Current State:
- I tried flashing just the system img (multiple times) and the lag returned
- I just flashed a 4.2.1 ROM just to see what happened. Touch sounds are back which means my headphone jack fixed itself. Still EXTREMELY slow.
- And just like that headphone jack screwed AGAIN but no more lag? Any reason for these two things to be related?
Bump. Any help? Still happening, though not as common, when I flashed stock
Could it be a hardware problem? Though it would be odd for a hardware issue to show up after flashing a rom. How long have you had the phone before the issues started?
Have you tried the official 4.1.1 image?
If so, do problems go away?
If you are using ports you have to expect bugs.
Let us know

Try flashing just the system.img a few times in fast boot with a reboot boot loader between. I was having slow boot up and random performance issues on full stock until I flashed that partition with the stock image (3 Times to be precise). I no longer have the 5 minute wait for the Google logo to disappear, and overall much snappier. Apparently something was leftover from previous restores/downloaded OTA updates.

I'd suggest you stop messing around with multiple ROMs and start trying different kernels. Kernels will impact performance much more than any specific ROM will. Try either an updated version of leanKernel (assuming your sig is accurate) or a different kernel all together. Others have had luck with franco, trinity, etc, etc.
Had the same problem on my GSM GNex yesterday. Flashed a ROM combination (Xylon 4.2.1 + Lean Kernel 5.0) and had this lag.. everything would lag and FC.. tried a full wipe as well but didnt work..
Changed to another AOSP Rom (UDK 4.2.1 with linaro kernel) and its fine now..
Oh and i also changed recovery from 6.0.1.5 non-touch(that i flashed yesterday) to CWM 6.0.1.9 touch..
Not sure if this helps but thats what worked for me.. I suggest going back to a ROM that worked for you in the past.. and also try formatting your SD card and run the phone without putting back your data for a while..
@rlb81 - Starting to think it might be a hardware one but at this point I'm not sure of anything. Only had the device 3 months.
@tincbtrar - Yeah I flashed the official 4.1.1 image and the problems are still there. Ridiculously sluggish and the audio problems. In fact, on stock 4.1.1 I just had this issue where I'd turn the screen off, the animation would be really slow, and then I'd get a black screen and wouldn't be able to wake it up. Did a battery pull to boot it again and the same exact issue the second time it turned on.
@Winesnob - I'll be sure to give this a try. Thanks so much! This is a really odd issue and I've never experienced it on any of my previous android devices (Fascinate, Incredible, Thunderbolt, even the old HTC Vogue)
@Cilraaz - Currently just trying to get stock running properly so everything is locked right now. Can't remember but I'm pretty sure I tried the newer lean kernel when I flashed back to bugless.
@technogravy - Kinda the same response I have for Cilraaz here. Ideally I'd like to get stock running properly so that I can be sure there isn't something horribly messed up with my phone but I'll be sure to give both of your suggestions a try if things don't seem to work with stock.
Thanks so much to all of you guys. If you have any other input it'd be greatly appreciated.
+1 on try different kernels, my phone seems to love lean kernel. I switched to tiny kernel for a few days and every so often, a simple task like opening tapatalk would take up to 30 seconds, and everything would become unresponsive. Nothing but smoothness on lean, give some different kernels a try.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I tried Winesnob's method and I THOUGHT it worked. Was running smooth for a good amount of time and just now back to the really choppy mess it was before. In fact it just got frozen on the lock screen and went to a black screen again.
This is killing me. The headphone jack thing seems to be a hardware issue anyway so I emailed Wirefly about getting a replacement. I feel like they'll avoid that though and I'll be left with this.
Gonna try some other things tonight. Wish me luck
EDIT: The thing gets so choppy that notification sound get choppy and crackle. This is insane. I'm fully stock minus the unlocked bootloader right now
EDIT2: Flashed stock image and touch sounds came back. This is getting really weird. Lag is still here though. Really bad lag
Bumping again now that I've sort of pinpointed the issue. Lags with touch sounds enabled and headphone jack works / soundabout installed with touch sounds on.
Currently the phone's headphone jack is screwed up, I installed soundabout, disabled touch sound and no lag.
Over in the dinc2 forums a lot of people are having the same issue when going from vipers sense rom back to aosp. I know that's not the case here but they found it was due to a new lib partition that was introduced in jb. Again, not sure if I'm 100% on this, but it does sound like a bad wipe and something is getting left from previous roms
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Ahh thanks for the heads up
Would it be wise for me to try going back to the ROM that started the problem? Maybe that'll do *something?
Again, from what I saw, everyone had some luck going back to the rom that caused the problem.
There's a tool in the developer thread called "super duper wipe" that seems to have fixed the lag for ones having the issue. I'm not sure how it works, but If you can take it apart and look at the zip, it may point someone in the right direction.

I took a look at that super duper wipe script...looks interesting but not necessary on our phone.
Im starting to think you may have a hardware issue if you cant flash stock images and get everything back to normal. Maybe a relock and then unlock?
i just did this cause I had a SIM card issue...and naturally it wiped my data completely.

turns out my lag problems weren't gone completely until i wiped /System before flash.. Alot of ROM's out there have a /system wipe script, but the one causing my FC's and lag didn't, so it was installing the new system files on top of the old ones and possibly causing a conflict.
it could the same for you
Yeah I've recently tried unlocking again, formatting system before a ROM flash and I still get lag. Now it's more that it will last a day without the lag and just magically come back the next day. Headphone/speaker issues still exist. Wirefly completely ignored my first email so I sent them another one. Hoping for the best.
Completely lost on what this could be

I'll check out that app but like I've mentioned. Lag seems to be coming from sound. After installing soundabout to get the speaker working again I get some nasty lag. Disable touch sounds and I have no lag. Disable the sound effects on twitter - no issues with the app. WireFly said I'm still under manufacturer warranty through my carrier and it sounds like I should be covered. If Verizon tries anything to get around that they'll be willing to do a three way call to make sure I get the replacement. I'll probably end up with a refurb but hopefully it'll beat this stupid issue.
Just stopping in to say thanks to everyone that tried to fix the issue but Verizon is sending out my replacement device today and I'll be sending this one with the faulty headphone jack back.
Problem solved!

[Q] Persistent static/crackling sound from speaker and/or headphones.

Hello XDA, you guys are my last resort. No pressure though, lol. PLEASE help before I go completely insane! :silly:
Device:
T-Mo SGH-T999 w/completely stock JB 4.1.1
Phone was serviced by Samsung for this issue two weeks ago and was sent back to me saying "Problem found: RX AUDIO - SPEAKER Solution: REPLACED COMPONENT".
Issue:
Static-like/crackling noise from the speaker or headset/headphones
When issue occurs:
Playing music through the stock music player
Viewing movies in MX Player with H/W audio enabled(but ok with S/W audio)
Any kind of streaming audio
Playing some games with background music
However, no issues with call audio. No issues with notification sounds unless they are .mp3 based. Also, PowerAmp or Winamp fixes the issue with mp3 audio. Can use stock 5.0.5 player as long as file format is .wma or .ogg(haven't tested any other codecs).
Things I've tried so far with no effect:
Power cycling
Taking the battery out waiting two minutes and putting it back in
Copying music to different SD cards and internal storage
Factory restore
Turning various settings on and off, including CPU and stock governors
I've searched a ton on XDA, and elsewhere, and only saw one other useful thread on this topic in the i9300 section. The only solution I gathered from reading ~100 pages was a custom kernel. Might that work in my situation?
Any audio guru's with ideas what might be going on here?
Questions:
Why do different codecs seem to affect this issue?
Is this for sure a hardware problem or is there still a chance this could be something in the software?
Is there any solution to this problem other than insisting on a complete replacement?
I'd send it back again but I'm afraid of getting a refurb with other problems. Any advice/help GREATLY appreciated. TIA
Any thoughts?

I would try flashing Stock JB from odin(make sure you check MD5 sum), then after its flashed, perform a factory reset. If that doesn't solve your issue, then its most definitely hardware. I'm thinking it could be a bad update or download though...Get back to me with your results! good luck

Thanks for the response and advice. Sorry, not sure how I forgot to mention in the OP that my first priority before sending the unit back to Samsung three weeks ago was to flash stock UVDLJA, UVALJ4, and UVALH2, with odin 3.07--and...no joy. Hadn't thought to try going all the way back to UVALEM though. So I did that yesterday morning, but the issue still persists.
Went to the T-Mo store during lunch yesterday and requested a replacement. I'm out of ideas and patience.
Still wondering, though, why .wma's, .ogg's and FLACs(didn't think they'd work in stock player... ) work in stock, but not .mp3's. And why .mp3's seem to work in any player I've tested other than stock. Maybe there's some kind of native, internal hardware decoding going on for .mp3's through the stock player that's not present when using 3rd party player's? And on this phone something in that area is broken. I guess it might sadly remain a mystery.
I'll keep the thread updated in the event I ever find a solution to the problem before I send it back, or if I ever hear of a fix, for others that might experience this issue in the future. Thanks again.
UPDATE: Got my replacement on Friday and all the audio-related issues(amongst others) are solved. Phew... So should be a no brainer, but anyone with audio issues of any type, get a replacement!

Urgent and Serious issue with audio! HELP needed. please!

Guys, I have this one major issue with audio in my phone and its the rarest of the problems! The whole audio output stops completely. By completely, i mean even the receiver sound. completely dumb! cant hear anything if someone calls me. This has been occurring since a month or so. I am running on Cyanogenmod 11 M8. Even if i restart the phone its stays the same way. And all of sudden, randomly, the audio back again, working properly. when it goes dumb it stays like that for 5 6 hours. it happens quite often. this is throwing me off totally.
Device : Galaxy S3 SGH i747 - At&t
This problem happens:
1) when i am on call, suddenly it goes mute.
2) when the phone is kept idle for more than 3 4 hrs. So every morning its dumb when i wake up.
These are what I've tried and what I've found out:
1) I reverted back to stock 4.3 to check if its the problem with audio hardware. But in stock it worked perfectly and flawlessly. no issues there. SO its definitely got to do with cyanogenmod.
2) I flashed ktoonsez kernel on CM 11 M8, to check if its kernel problem. But its happening again. SO its not the problem with kernel.
3) I recently found out that if I wipe the cache from recovery, audio is back working. SO its definitely something in the cache thats messing with the audio. Some app may be.
this thread can be referred for more details on this issue:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/81373-audio-stops-working-from-time-to-time/
and I dont know what else to do now. Ive tried uninstalling all the apps that access audio. But the problem still persists.

I've had that issue a month or two ago but haven't seen it on the latest ROMs. I'm not sure what causes it but I would suggest you flash another ROM if CM messes up with your sound (or another version of CM).

Hi, Thanks for the response. I personally like CM and the extent of customization it offers. I actually dont mind switching cuz sound is bigger deal. Would you mind suggesting ROMs that are similar or comes closer to CM and also good at the same time? which ROM are you on?

Hey it got fixed in the latest nightly ( cm-11-20140721-NIGHTLY ). I had put it in cyanogenmod forum, I guess they read the issue and fixed it. Audio is perfectly fine now! Feels so great to use cyanogenmod again.
Thank you cyanogenmod!
I have this issue too but it doesn't have to do with the audio disappearing; it's simply gone from the get-go after clean flashing a ROM.
As you've said, stock FW and ROM works fine, but anything custom will just totally break it. Seems to be a very isolated issue with the phone itself, I've searched all over for people with the same problem but could never find anything.

Oh. It used to happen to me once or twice. No audio when I install CM, after it boots the first time. I think you should check the new nightly of 7/23. Looks like its fixed. They've fixed a number of audio issues over the last few nightlies. And I've always preferred CM over any other roms, so I've no idea about why it isn't working on other roms.

Thanks for the suggestion, I may as well give it a try since most everything else I've tried has had the same issue.
edit:
Clean flashed latest CM nightly, sound worked for around 2 minutes, then stopped when I plugged headphones in. Rebooted, got it to work via speakers again but then DSP manager force closed and left me without sound.
Rebooted into recovery, cleared cache, still no dice.
Going to try another clean flash to see if I can get sound to last a while longer.
edit 2: It seems to be screwed completely now, no sound after install + reboot.

Oneplus 5T suddenly lagging

Hi, so i've been using the Oneplus 5T for a year and just recently it started having issues with lag, making the phone unusable. I tried installing different roms without success(Oxygen OS Open Beta 23, Lineage OS 16, and Oxygen OS 5.1.4) and i have no idea what is causing it. This issue began while i was on the OOS beta 23 and it wasn't rooted, it just started behaving that way suddenly i didn't drop it or anything, also the screen blinks and start doing weird things sometimes. Did anyone had this issue? And what can be causing it? Thanks
Link to a video of my problem: https://youtu.be/17LOiftTf8w
Found the issue. Apparently it's caused by google play services, if i clear the data of the app the phone works fine and as soon as i install something from the store it starts lagging again
I always have this issue after finishing a clean setup on oxygen os beta. One restart for me solves and never returns.
same here

If you find a solution please let me know i ran out of ideas my fix with the play services stopped working, thanks
What the hell is that lag issue seriously ??
I was thinking to flash a custom kernel and ROM but would it solve the issue ?
And the issue is completely random as well.
I have the exact same issue. Starts when i download something from playstore, open camera after a while or transfer big files e.g transferring data through oneplus switch. I have tried everything i could and didnt help. Upgrades, downgrades, root, trimming storage, clearing cache etc. Nothing is helping. If anyone finds a solution please tell me too. Really frustrated ?
The problem occured on official ROM but it comes back even on Lineage OS 16 (official too).
Do you think it could be a hardware issue ? If not, how come this problem happens even when flashing an other ROM ?

For me it lags all the time, the phone is unusuable. I can reboot, flash a new ROM ... nothing will solve it.
I had this problem for almost 3 weeks and no fix from Oneplus, so I will buy a new phone.

I had the same issue 2 months ago, I tried everything to fix the problem even did hard reset using oneplus' official program and it didn't work.
I came to a conclusion that it's a hardware issue so I sent my phone to repair and one week later I got my phone back fixed.
I recommend you to do the same if you still have warranty, the whole process took only one week. The customer service is really good.
Same problem here, my phone lags like a hell. Running omnirom pie

Maybe try to reset your phone by using MsmDownloadTool, if that doesn't fix your problem then it must be a hardware issue.

The problem is that (not only i lost the warranty) but i'm not from the USA and sending them the phone is kind of hard and expensive, to the point that i think buying a new phone is cheaper. I reached to support anyways but i'm still waiting for a response after 3 days. What did they change on your phone?

I don't know what did they replace I didn't get any information about that. The screen is the same though they didn't change it, my guesses are either it's the motherboard or the motherboard to screen connector (it's called main flex I think, you can get on for about 3$)
