Fix muffled audio in 3.5.2? - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Is there any way to disable the aggressive noise cancellation in OOS 3.5.2 Community Build? The 1080p60 is FINALLY here but the audio is somewhat bad.

Crap. Wasn't that bug fixed like 5 updates ago?

[Q] Bluetooth a2dp distortion

I am running into an issue with streaming my media over a2dp bluetooth. There is a lot of distortion, pops, and sped up audio. This started happening when I installed nightlies that upgraded to 10.1, along with the new gapps.
I have spent the last four hours trying to fix this device. I am now at the point of putting it back to stock, which I really hate to do bc I love CM10.
Any advice? Is this a known issue? The audio will play fine via a2dp for about 15-30 seconds, and then the distortion occurs.
Thanks so much,
Jennifer

I'm having this same exact problem. It happened when I updated to the 12/27 nightly I believe. I just rolled back to 12/26 but haven't had a chance to check it. It's really bad because data doesn't work well on 12/26 so I have to choose between streaming music bluetooth or data...

Yikes! Well, I'm glad it isn't just me, but am sorry you are experiencing this too. I hope it is fixed soon! I kept trying other nightly builds and then tried to go back to 10.0, but kept getting errors with 10.0 builds. I went back to stock this afternoon as a result of this. I do prefer CM10 to stock Touchwiz JB, though.
I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem or if they fixed it in one of the recent builds?

Yep, it's there on the 1/1/2013 build Everything else seems silky smooth, but the BT problem is still there. I wonder if the "dial a number and then hang up" fix wirks for this like it did with the previous BT audio bug from CM10

A2dp distortion is a well known issue relating to problems with the audio driver. Builds up to 12/26 do not have this issue. The newer 10.1 builds have no audio issues (except over BT) so if you cannot live without BT I would suggest a clean flash back to 12/26.

Yes, I went back to 12/26 and the only issue i have now is connecting to mobile data. it takes a couple times toggling the airplane mode before it connects but id rather do that than not have streaming bluetooth which I use daily. any idea when they will fix it?
anyone know if this has been fixed yet? i haven't seen anything in the dev logs

Audio quality of video taken by Oneplus 3

It seems, every other review is bashing Oneplus 3 for the poor quality audio in the video taken by Oneplus 3. It seems so in those videos too. It sounds horrible.
To those who have already got their One, could you provide some feedback on this?
Took a test video (4k) today, myself speaking a bit and playing guitar a bit. Sounded OK, by far not as bad as many Youtube videos shot with the OP3.
It is exactly the way these reviews describe it.
Ambient noise is basically completely filtered out.
I really hope this can be improved by software because right now it is the worst
quality I got so far from a smartphone.
Can it be fixed? or is it a hardware issue?
This seems to be the noise cancelation being activated on video, which it shouldn't be.
Totally software, but I really hope they fix it. Makes video recordings sound terrible .

I sure hope the 3.1.4 update fixes it since there are audio optimizations. I've found a workaround by plugging in ear buds or headphones while recording.

Does this cause the phone to record through the mic in the headphones or does it still use the mic on the phone?

Hmmm it must have been working last night when I was video chatting with Facebook Messenger but I can't reproduce the results in Snapchat or any other recording app. Damn shame but it seems like my only choice for now is to use my earbuds with a mic until this is fixed.
This can definitely be fixed with changes to the mixer_paths.xml file. After much anger and try and error I determined that the phone uses the file "mixer_paths_tasha.xml" and not the regular "mixer_paths.xml" file. I alos found that when recording with google camera it uses the "speaker-stereo-dmic-ef" audio path.

Would just deleting the "tasha" file have adverse effects or would it just default back to the correct xml file?

Bluetooth Out of Sync with Video

Does anyone else have this issue if watching videos through BT and the audio isn't synced up properly with the video?

Audio syncs up fine through both car and headset Bluetooth for me. Might get off sync rarely but a pause and play fixes it immediately.
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
Yes
Yes, there's a consistent audio delay of a few seconds with my car (Infiniti q30, in case that's relevant) regardless of whether there's a video playing on the screen (noticeable e.g. when pausing podcasts, switching to a different song, as well as when audio should be synced with a video playing on-screen). No noticeable delay with other Bluetooth audio devices e.g. anker or taotronics earphones.
Any suggestions for workarounds? There are obviously video players that allow modifying the audio offset, but that doesn't help with e.g. netflix or similar streaming.
My wife's Note 8 and my old OnePlus 3T also have same issue...
Have had that with any phone I have. Most likely car specific issue not phone specific.
I was under the impression this was always the case with Bluetooth.

Possibly. I will test with a few other phones.
Its always the Bluetooth device, not your phone. I had Beats Studio Wireless and there was always sync issue. Updated headphones' firmware and sync issues were gone. So it is the Bluetooth device that makes video and audio out of sync

It can definitely be. My 2013 Passat has no delay but my wife's 2016 ILX has a good 2-3 seconds audio delay. Asked if there was some kind of software update but they said no.

I have this same issue. All 3rd party apps I use with my Bluetooth headphones aren't synced properly, and there is some audio delay
Strangely enough, the delay is almost non existent on apps made by Google....

audio crackle / distortions with Galaxy Note 3 (hlte) on LineageOS 14.1

Hi, I am using my Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 since August 2017 with LineageOS 14.1 and I am happy except ONE thing:
When I play audio with some apps like
Podcast Addict (downloaded and streamed Podcasts), Bubble UPNP (local files and files over network)
the cound crackles and is destorted when any system sound is played simultaniously. This happens for some seconds and is clear again after some seconds when the system sound playpack has finished (most system sounds have a short duration)
BUT this does NOT happen when I playback audio with apps like Soundcoud, DLF Audio (live radio streming app)
I have already uninstalled AudioFX system app, played around with e. g. audio visualization on lock screen (on/off), or toggling some system preferences related to audio notifications etc. with no positive effects on the problem. I am also updating to every new nightly build with no effect.
I was thinking that this problem occured with one of the nightly builds after August 2017. But it is highly likely that I just did not use one of the above mention apps with the problem in the first weeks of usage of LineageOS. I am not sure about that.
Has anyone else noticed this behaviour? Or has anyone fixed it? I know this is not crucial to every day use of my device. But whenever I tell people to switch over from Samsung stock ROM to LineageOS - for example my wife with the same device and (outdated!) Samsung stock ROM - they are questioning my advice when they notice the sound crackling on my device. It is somewhat awkward and annoying...
Any help or idea appreciated.

i have the same problem when i olay music while using another app the sound crackle also . please if you found a solution for this problem tell me how
Hi, I thought I was the only one with this problem, "good" to have a companion...
No, I sadly have no solution to it yet. Nobody except you answered my post until now.
Do you have the same hardware/firmware setup? I have the SM-N9005 Model and "International hlte" firmware version of lineageos 14.1. My baseband version is N9005XXUGBPB1. Can you tell me your firmware and baseband version?
And another question is: when did your problem begin? And does it persist over a nightly flash update if any?
Maybe we those informations could be helpful to us or others to find a solution on the cracke crackling audio.

yes i have the same SM-9005 hlte with lineage os 14.1 and the same baseband version . this problem started once i installed the rom . i installed it 2 days ago . i couldn't install the nightly flash update don't know why . when i press install the phone go to custom recovery twrp without installing the update .
i hope we can solve this problem . i loved this rom actually and this is the only problem i faced in it except the update.
Similar issue with 14.1 nightly of 060618. This time on the SM-A520F.
I can hear sound thru earphones but not thru the speakers.
Hi Stejai, did I misunderstand you? This is about crackling audio, not missing audio. Or do you mean that you have the crackle sound issue through earphones but not through the speaker? Anyway, this seems to be another problem...
@bastaway01: Ok, thanks for your info! To adress your update-problem:
I am using Lineage Downloader Premium App. With this, updates work like a chime. With the native update-function I had the same problem. But it is okay to get notifications from the native system (new update), but then to open Lineage Downloader Premium to let it update your ROM. It askes for root access (I grant it temporarily), I push refresh updates, then it shows the latest nightly with changes listed, and then I can push the flash button. The device reboots, goes into twrp, flashes and reboots into system again. Works fine, no further user action needed!

Hello bugs.bunny23,
It started with distorted sound, irrespective of earphone's or speaker's. Then in a fee hours time lost audio via the speakers.
Backtracked the apps I installed and reinstalled them , all except one - related to the carrier. Now I have audio that is fully functional.
Hi Stejai, thanks for the answer. Your problem seems to be slightly different. I can exactly reproduce my issue and it stays constantly the same. Also I just have the problem when outputting audio from the main speaker. Neither Bluetooth nor earphones have this issue.
But it your problem encourages me to try to factory reset and fully flash a complete lineage ROM again (wich I never did yet). Also I would do the same with the baseband version. I will report any changes here, when I am done (could take a while).
Gesendet von meinem SM-N9005 mit Tapatalk
Hi to all, I have done some flashing with former full wipe. I have tried the latest official nightly lineage os 14.1 update, also Resurrection Remix OS 6.0.0 official (Android 8.1), Lineage OS 15.1 unofficial (Android 8.1). Nothing changed, the Problem persists exactly the same.
But when I go back to my last Samsung Stock ROM (with a nandroid backup), there is no such audio crackle / audio distortion problem. So I guess it is not a hardware problem.
What is happening? I totally have no idea now. Can anyone help?
Gesendet von meinem SM-N9005 mit Tapatalk
Hi, it's me again. I googled again and found that the "DLF Audio" app is clean now. Seemes that they have fixed the the problem with their app. And I found that some other "podcast addict" users encounter similar problems with the internal player while skipping forrward or backward or with speeded up playback.
Then I tried some other podcast apps. "Antennapod" has the same problem but others don't. It seems that their players interfere somehow with some audio handling in LineageOS or RR ROM while they don't mess up with the samsung stock rom. Seems to be not quite optimized within the custom roms, still to fix something there. But instead of waiting for a fix in the apps or the custom roms I decidrd to go for another working podcast app. I have chosen "pocket cast". It's not a super satisfieing solution because it costs 2,99€, but now I am fine with it. Hope the developers will fix that issue though. Hope that helps, but if anyone has another solution it would be appreciated.

Hi, I'm having the same model and the same problem but since it's 2020 and I'm using the latest LOS 16 port it seems that updating wouldn't solve the problem, in fact it IS the problem. I'm a music producer and I've heard the same clicking/distortion on my workstation PC when audio samples with different sample rates collapse together or a high sample rate is being played on unsupported audio hardware or when buffer size is too large for audio processing unit that you have to choose between distortion like this or audio latency (which is not any better). My main guess is since the newer lineage OS roms are based on newer versions of Android, chances are the system is using the sample rate of 48KHz which is a new standard for almost any new hardware compared to 44.1KHz which was widely used in late 2000s and early 2010s, Older hardwares like Note 3 Speaker driver may not completely support this new sample rate. So my main guess would be to somehow change the system sound sample rate or (if compatible) finding a newer speaker hardware and replacing the audio DAC unit OR using an external one. For me it wasn't a huge problem since when I use device speaker I just silence the whole system sound and for me this new sample rate really sounds better, but if you really need to fix this and you want a hint to solve this problem my hint would be: "follow the sample rate". I hope this would be helpful.
Hay dude! I face this problem right now. anyone fix this problem?
Hello. The problem is still there. LineageOS 17.1

Random Pausing?

Has anyone had any issues with music randomly bring paused? At first I thought it might be an issue with my earphones, but it also happens on my Bluetooth speaker. It happens on both Phonograph with local music and Spotify so I know it's not a stream getting interrupted. Running Stock Pie with latest security patch, Magisk 19.4, and latest ElementalX Kernel for TWRP. I also feel like at one point I had this same issue on my OG Pixel XL but can't remember what fixed it.

You can try switching off battery optimization for the music apps. This I had to do for BubbleUPNP, otherwise the app gets kicked out of the memory after a few minutes and hence stops playing...
I've had that problem but only while using bluetooth in my car. So it could be a problem with my car stereo or the phone, but it doesn't happen often. I am completely stock not rooted.
