Need help with audio_policy.conf - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys!
I installed Cyanogenmod just a few days ago for the first time.
I was (and still am) very happy with the replacement, but I ran into one issue related to sound. Before I installed cyanogen (on the default ROM) I had an issue with the Skype app: my voice sounded like a chipmunk. I thought it was a Skype problem. After installing this problem was FIXED! I was really happy. But then somebody called me on the ordinary phone and THEIR voice was distorted terribly and I was unable to hold conversation. I googled feverishly and found an "audio policy.zip" in a forum post related to a similar problem. It said I was to flash that file. And I did. Voila, the issue was indeed fixed! BUT, now Skype doesn't get audio input from me at all, and Viber also has a similar problem. So essentially I fixed one problem but got another instead. My guess is that the audio policy file wasn't perfectly configured for my specific phone, and...
that's what I need help with. Either to get a pre-configured file for my specific phone, or for somebody to help me configure it manually. This is what my current file looks like: pastebin.com*ZaTXd1UZ (replace * with / ). Please help.

Pda2k very low volume for callers!! Pls help..pls!!!

hi all,
Am using a pda2k since year and half now. Initially when i bought the phone when it was just launced in dubai. It had this weird problem of people complaining low voice from my side on calls. I upgraded to v1.12 and problem had solved. Then when i saw a recent upgrade of 1.40 i did that. The problem is back worse than ever. So i downgraded it back to 1.12 and the problem still persists.
The problem two way has been solved with the unidirectional patch. But this problem persists, i even opened thephone up but evrything seems fine. Am using bluetooth headset jabra and people can hear me now. But its frustrating to use the headset all the time. Pls help am really frustrated with this problem and am unable to find any kind of solutions to this.

thanks a lot...i really dont mind doing it but my only question is it is a software problem bcoz it was working fine with my old software...and other applications volume level is good enough...so how can it be a hardware deffect? Pls help...thanx.
i have this problem as well... i wish the links people link to wouldn't be always dead on this site.
hi and welcome to the forum.
unfortunately you bumped a very old thread, and the link in the 2nd post refers to an even older thread, which might have been deleted due to routine maintenance.
what exact model of the blueangel do you have?
what rom and radio rom are you currently using?
what network are you on (MHz)?
there can only be 4 reasons for this issue:
1. it is a user problem, there are settings wrong
2. it is a blockage problem, cleaning the device will resolve it
3. it is a software problem, to be solved by flashing another rom and/or radio
4. it is a hardware problem, you'd need to replace parts.
these solutions are sorted by how difficult they are, so after giving more specific information, you might want to start at the top

FM-radio software mutes when switching channels.

I have a problem: When switching channels the sound of my fm-radio mutes. The sound comes back when I make us of one of the buttons.
This is really anoying if you are a channelskipper like me...
Am I the only one with this problem?
Does anybody knows what causes it and how to solve it?
Many thanks in advance..
yo dwaaz,
i have the same problem with my MDA Compact III, but it doesnt bother me s much. i just noticed its there and took it for granted. would love to solve it though.
Anyone knows whats up?
T
I do have a life also..
Tnx for your quick respons,
I know it's not the most important thing in my life, but it's really not userfriendly, don't you agree...
I use my radio reguraly, and I know it's something with software...
A hard reset will fix it, but it returns within a few days.
At one point I noticed the occuring of this problem. I was listening to my radio when I received an call.
Without answering the call I pulled out the headset to answer it with the phone to my ears. When I finished the call the problem with the fm-radio returned.
I'm using this software:
1. Spb Phonesuite
2. Spb Mobile Shell
3. Spb Pocket Plus
4. Smartmovie
5. Betaplayer
6. Sprite Backup
This is my standard configuration.
Any similarities with your software profile?
Another reply
Noticed that if you use the predefined stations(and the sound works) you can choose other stations without any problems.
When the sound is muted(due to the problem) this will not work. Also channelsearch(not preset autosearch) doesn't work. It won't find the stations
I saw WM6 is released. Maybe the problem will be fixed with this update.
Or does anybody has a fix? Am I (with a few other users) the only one with this problem?
Maybe this will work?
I saw an fm-radio app for an Eten device.

Will this one work? It uses tmc
Hello dwaaz,
have you downloaded the software? The Link to ms mobiles works but when I push the download link i only get error!
Have a nice day
Problem with browser
This link should work.
I tried it again today.
http://x.msmobiles.com/portal/images/phones/eten/radio.zip
Let me know if the download works.
hello dwaaz,
i only get "HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found."
Please download and mail it to me.
Great thanks
Your email is not public, please let me know so I can send it to you.
Hello dwaaz,
i sended an private message to you.
Have you / or anybody else testet the software on an xda orbit? Does it work?
Have a nice day
FM radio problem partially solved?
I discovered something.
The problems with the radio only occurs when you have disabled the sound for "Events(warnings, system)" in settings/personal/ sound en messages.
In my case, when I enable these sounds (anoying screen taps etc.) the problem is gone.
It looks like the system needs a sound at the end to be able to switch the channels.
Kinda weird isn't it?
Regards,
Dwaaz
PS. I know it's not caused by any third party software, because there isn't any on it.
this message is for nothing. I had problems with my connection en post the same message twice.
Has anyone been able to extract the radio software?

Problem with CRC r13.0 ROM - no voice transmission!

Hi all - from some reason, after a non consistent time, any phone calls I make do not transfer my voice - it'd dial the number, the recipient will answer but hears nothing. A reboot may not fix it - but a few will eventually. Calls I am receiving are perfectly fine.
Any ideas?
hi, post this on CRC's thread or do a search there (no need to create another thread)
dodgy microphone crc 13 rom fix
Hey i had the same problem and found it hard to find a fix, so i installed resco audio recorder and set it to record phone calls, now the microphone kicks in every time! its a dodgy work round but it works well if your desperate. tho its worth opening and closing the audio recorder occasionally to reclaim program memory, and deleting the files through the program only sends them to the recycle bin if u use resco explorer, so delete through that. sorry if this is the wrong spot to reply, but i've been at work all night and want to get this info out! good luck and thanks to all
Uninstall SRS WOW HD
I had this problem when I first used CRC's ROM. I don't think it's the CRC's issue to fix, per se, but I determined it was the SRS WOW HD app under System in his Device Update that was the offender. Once I removed that, my phone's mike started working again. Never investigated the app to see if anyone else reported a problem. I just figured I didn't need it so badly as to lose my ability to talk on the phone (and let people know I was actually able to hear them).

Yes, most of the time when people have issues with there sound, its SRS WOW or its a hardware issue.

[Q] local prefix problem

Hello,
I am facing a problem with my DHD not recognizing the numbers saved with an international format:
I am currently in Lebanon; and since I tend to travel, I save my numbers using the international format:
+9613xxxxxx
When back in the country and someone tries calling me the number shows as:
03xxxxxx
This is where the phone fails to recognize the caller...
The problem only seems to happen with the zero prefix. We have other numbers that do not use a leading zero:
+96171xxxxxx
These show up locally as
71xxxxxx
The phone recognizes them without a problem.
I've tried contacting HTC and their reply was to add the numbers twice... not a very smart solution.
So I've tried using a different ROM (Core Droid 2.3) and the problem persists.
Someone suggested the problem has to do with the stored procedures in /system/lib/libsqlite.so and provided a replacement, however it was for android 1.6...
1) So does anyone know how to get rid of this issue?
2) Otherwise, is there a ROM that solves the problem (just need on that keeps the stock camera application and that is not too bloated).
3) If not, is there a way to obtain the source of one of the ROMs on this forum to try to fix the issue myself and recompile?
Thanks!
For anyone else facing the same issue:
Cyanogenmod 6.1 solves the problem.
Coredroid 2.3 does not.
I am now trying to download VillainROM to whether the problem persists there.
No luck with VillainROM...
The ROM includes HTC sense, the graphics are very crisp compared to CoreDroid and Cyanogenmod but the prefix issue is present... making the phone no better than a $20 device off the market... at least as far as recognizing incoming calls is involved...
For anyone checking this..
I've settled for Cyanogenmod 7
With googleapps and arabic addons
The vanilla keyboard's arabic is not working... I can't write much arabic anyway but did download one from the market.... worked with a few glitches.... but otherwise arabic works great when visiting news sites etc...
Gmail app is not working so I am using K9mail.. which, besides a couple bugs, looks very promising.
Youtube app is not working so I am simply using the browser.
I think I am happy with my phone again...
if you use root explorer to remove gmail and youtube from /system/app/ reboot and install them from the market, they should work again
Thanks for the hint!
I found several apk files in the /system/app... no youtube or gmail though...
Am I doing something stupid?
Thanks,
Ah... was being stupid allright...
I just reinstalled and everything is now working!
Thanks again!

[Q] Bluetooth issues

Hello,
I know that this would be better posted to one of the development forums but (new member) can't post there...
anyway, I have the captivate glide and I recently installed literom from the greater good. Anyway, I'm running into some bluetooth issues and I was wondering if anyone has had any similiar issues? The forum for that rom does not mention the issues that I'm having (at least not that I found).
Basically, my bluetooth works fine. As long as I don't reboot my phone. Any time I reboot, my pairing information is lost for any devices I had. I can scan for devices, but when I try and connect, it says invalid pin or connection refused. If I run through the pairing procedure again, it works until the next reboot.
Anyone have any ideas for me? I like this rom and don't want to re-image it with something else... my bluetooth worked fine on the last rom I had installed (but nothing else did pretty much, which is why I reimaged it)...
sorry for throwing this out in the general forum, but to be honest I'm not 100% sure that my issues are related to this ROM just mostly sure... anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.
