Hi!
I got a Touch dual a few weeks back, and have been trying out different sound recording software. The sound seem to come out alright when the source is at very low levels, but the moment you speak a little too loud - or record a guitar for instances, the sound peaks, and then distorts making it unlistenable. Does anyone know if there excists a patch of some sorts that let's you control the input volume so you avoid this kind of horrible distortion?
This is pretty important to me as im a musician and need to record small demo snippets. This problem seem to be in every recording software i've tried - even the built in one. The phone is brand new and i actually had it for a repair for another problem, and the problem residues.
By the way - this Wifi business, is it ever gonna work on the NIke? is it even physically possible?
Thanks alot,
Psych
im in the same boat, as a guitarist.
i asked this question long ago and never got a definitive answer so i came to the conclusion it wasnt possible with the hardware.

Hi All,
I bought an XDAII about 2 weeks ago and am very please with it, however, when I make and receive calls, the sound seems to be very muffled. The people I call also comment that I sound very muffled too. Is there something wrong with it, or is this usual ? I was also wondering if a Radio Stack upgrade may cure this problem.
Here are my current versions etc.
ROM Version 1.03.00 USA
ROM Date 09/24/03
Radio Version 1.05.12
Protocol Version 1337.12
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob.
unfortunately it doesnt.
i know what you mean . . . but i upgraded my radio stack to 1.10 and it's still the same sound
i just hope it's just a setting of how the audio is decoded by the radio (sort of like the nokia setting you can turn on and off (at the expense of battery power) forgot what it's called.
cuz if it's not that, then it just means it's got a lousy speaker hehehe
hehe.. Thanks for the reply mate. At least I'm not the only one with a muffly speaker n mic
Ta,
Rob.
no prob :wink:
i think everybody has the same problem, only they just dont think it's a biggie (or aren't as picky as us) since the audio STILL is intelligible anyways
Has anyone else encountered a problem when either using the phone normally or through the speakerphone option, there is a slight rattling when the volume's set high?
This is quite annoying if common and is something other speakerphone phones seem to suffer from.

XDA2 not as good as it looks
Hi there
I have my XDA2 for 5 months and I´m in love with it, whenever one of my freinds mention its faults I get upset :?
But, we all know that the XDA2 is FAULTY big time, sofware not well developed yet, and yes, we think twice about buying software (same apply to hardware)
I have learn how to live with all this, still think that the XDA2 is a top tool for work and everyday life and I hope that other machines come to the market to compete, then we will get value for money
Bad Sound Quality
Hi,
I also bought a MDA II (T-Mobile Germany) some weeks ago. I really like it, but I also think that the sound quality is not the best. There are two effects that annoy me:
1. I can hear a high pitched beep in the speaker, always when the device is switched on (not only when talking on the phone but always if it is switched on). It is not very loud, but I can hear it clearly in quiet environment (my ears are still too good I think...).
2. The sound has to much "base" and to less "treble". Well, you can understand the person on the other end but this is definitly the worst sound quality I ever had on a phone.
This is the only thread I could find discussing this problem, leading me to the conclusion that either most phones are good and I got a bad one or most people don't bother if a very expensive phone sounds like a $5 toy...
Is there a chance to get a better sounding replacement phone or should I learn to be happy with it?
Regards,
Oli
Sounds Rubbish
Hi guys
i noticed the sound isn't as good as the XDA I when playing mP3's or MPG files on it.
does anyone know if there is anything that can be done to correct this ??
other than buying a set of speakers to go with it, doesn't seem much else ! ;(
any solution for this???????
I've got the same problem, however I've noticed that the sound is clear when I use the XDA 2 with my tomtom navigator the voice instructions are very clear, its strange + when I use the speaker phone the other party can hardly hear me.
sorry to tell you this, but i have got mine repaired and strange that they changed the motherboard to get rid of this problem, means it is a mother board problem not speaker or software.

The high pitched beep is caused by the poor filtering of the power electronics of the background lightning of the touchscreen. It is worse if the light is set to low. If you set it one or two notches higher, the beep sound will go away (or at least you won't hear it anymore).
Hello XDA-Devs and Readers
I bought a cheap BT-Stereoheadset (39,90€) (Callstel "Neck Comfort").
It seems working, I even get no skipping with the original german Eplus-ROM (see my other threads for more info about the ROM). Unfortunately I found two more or less major probs:
The first and the biggest for me is, that the music sounds really bad, it comes in Stereo but it sounds in the higher frequencies like a <32kbit MP3, something like a noise in the connection. Its really annoying and hurts in the ears. The second prob I found is, that the calls come only on the left side. Even the cable-headset that came with the TyTN plays calls on both sides, good for noisy enviroment.
Is there any help or can I just return the headset to PEARL? As I said, skipping in the way I understand the word wasn't a problem. I even could let the phone lie in a other room and the music still played without any stops.
kind regards!
Nobody? No idea?
Has anyone found a way (or an app) to increase the mic volume? When I am google video chat with someone they say they can hardly hear me.
Snap! I was just about to post the exact same question. I've hunted aroudn and found a fair few people asking the quetsion in various threads but can't seem to find an answer, I know it can be done as I've had it too loud on other phone and they've tweaked it and altered the volume so surely it's fairly easy tweak (if you know what to tweak) to do it the other way. Probably just altering a register somewhere.
We got my mother in law a transformer and she calls us on Google talk. She can't hear us very well and we can only just hear her too. I know the speakers are very quiet but Google talk is just silly, even at full volume it's still very quiet.
I would also be very interested in learning if there is a way to increase mic volume.
Thus far I'm not aware of a way, but I too have the same issue. Mic is ludicrously quiet, only picks me up reasonably well if I turn the tablet so the microphone points directly to me (and hence, I can't see the screen).
Short of Asus fixing it, or a third-party making a fix (which will likely need root access to apply), the only solution is to use an external microphone.
Similar experience with Gtalk.. however not much of a problem with Skype.. heard that the pinout is similar to iphone.. so any iphone compatible headset should do the trick.
when speaking to my mother in law my father in law iss often there as well so headset is not an option.
Yet another thing we need a fix for! This fix list is geting longer Poor sound at the best of time to having quiet poor sound makes it almost unuseable!
i have the same problem with Fring
lets hope one of the clever bods can fix it for us
I am rooted and this was one of the reasons I did it.
Rooting is very easy to do on here now with the pure root package and I can't really see any downside to it other than it doens't update OTA but thats hardly a killer.
The microphone is bad on the Acer A500 as well. Trying to use the google voice to text is rather frustrating because it affects the accuracy of the translation. I was hoping the asus would be better in this regard, but if it's not then there's no point in switching tabs. I guess I will just have to speak LOUDER!
Rob
nobody worked out a way of fiing bad mic volume then?
The sad thing about the mic's location on the TF is that it is facing the wrong direction to pick up any voice. I too, am having issues with the TF not picking up my voice very well. I was hoping that there is a fix by now, but guess not.
voodoo
For rooted users you can install the voodoo kernel which improves audio including micropone volumes. From what i read I am tempted to root my device just for this.
Search on the market for voodoo, (and then show me how you did it

I wasn't aware voodoo had any effect on mic? Plus it has not effect on speaker volume, only volume / quality on headphone output (can connect external speakers to it via that) I may be wrong though. I already have voodoo but use volume+ to increase built in speaker volumes. Mic is still terribly quiet
Hi I was wondering if there was a fix or something to tweak the level of sound the phone records when you are recording a video. Since every time I want to record videos in music festivals or concerts the bass would be too loud and distorts the sound unlike other phones. If anyone does know an answer to this it would be much appreciated! TIA
i've seen several people ask the same question, however nobody seems to be able to answer the question.
i'd like to know this as well.
Not sure about that but a ghetto workaround i do when recording audio or video in loud environments is to cover the mic with something, like cloth or a case or your finger or something to reduce the input volume of the sound.. So you can do that in the mean time, but I'm sure there must be a way to change it..

I have tried using my finger to block the mic but that did not do much, I have not tried the tape method yet so I might try that sometime.
bump, anyone else figure out any solution to this?
So , everyone who has bought the phone has accepted the fact that you cannot take a video ( cause the sound is awful ) ? It's the reason that i want to sell it,battery custom kernel undervolt and such , sd slot you learn live with it but i cannot accept it that there is no fix for that thing. It is driver issue? it is the way lg put the mic? it is faulty mic? Is there any single person who have managed to take a nice video with acceptable sound in video recording? Any help will enlighten many, i am sure.
Hi everyone, this is the first time I have posted on here, so I decided to help a few of you with this problem. Having had most of the Samsung galaxy phones I was horrified to find this problem on my new note 5. After a lot of experiments and different recording conditions I have managed to eliminate the static popping and crackling heard when recording a video. It seems that if you record your video in 320x240(4.3) then there is no popping or crackling at all. Then the higher you go towards 3840x2160(16.9) the worse it gets. But at bottom resolution audio is perfect. As a computer I.T engineer and mobile phone technician looking at this logically would tell me this is a software problem. Most lightly the compression or codec used when taking higher quality footage. I have spoke direct to Samsung who flatly refuse to accept there is a problem. However I have other avenues to go down. For now I`m afraid the only thing we can do is to all ring the 0300 Samsung number if your in the Uk if you have this problem. Keep ringing and keep telling until they sort this out. Please feel free to comment how many of you have this problem and I will voice all your cases to them 1 by one if needed !!!

So your soultion is to record video in 320x240 resolution?
Unfortunately seems like the audio problem is an hardware bug and the popping/crackling sound comes up with vocal recorder too.
