Anyone know? Video quality is awesome but if I'm recording at a concert , the audio is clipped all to hell. I need a way to adjust the microphone levels...thanks!

Anyone? Sorry, I just cant find out and my friends are playing a show on Wednesday. I'd like to be able to record a decent quality for them. Thanks
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
yeah this would be helpful to do.. but for a ghetto workaround maybe throw a piece of basking tape over the mic hole for the show??
I was messing around with the dialer codes and found some settings that may help, but it doesnt seem to make any difference. I know there must be a way to do it

i just need to move the phone a bit so it isn't blasting the sound into my hair or my cheek, then it sounds super loud
thanks for the input fellas I guess ill be sending this one back. that sucks cause everything else works great on it.

I'm currently on miui rom and when my phone rings it sounds like my speaker is bout to blow. Lol. Is there a app or something that I can use to adjust this.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Nope. It's happened to me twice. It's a hardware failure. If you're still under warranty go to a store or call in for a replacement. All the ROMs in the world can't help that.
Yeah it only does it on this rom tho. Lol. If I flash my other roms it's not near as loud. Lol
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I'd probably say avoid that ROM for now then. Basically what's happening is the speaker is on it's way out. It will get worse before it gets better. I still say take a look at warranty replacement if you have that option.
Not sure if this will help, but I use IncrediKernel, and with the "Audio Boost" option set, my Inc did the same. With the IncrediControl app, it's an option to be checked or un-checked, without it, maybe try echo 0 > /sys/kernel/audio_boost/aboost
Other than that, MIUI has been doing some work on the sound system and maybe it's something going on in the new settings? There's a "System Volume" now in the menu for "Sound and Vibration Settings" that I've noticed lately, as well, maybe give that a little tweak?

The physical speaker in the phone is really bad, and most people's blow out. It's fairly easy to replace and inexpensive (under $5). Will maybe take you 5 minutes.
Youtube videos for instruction.
Ohh. Ok. Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

I also didn't realize that a kernel could effect some the sound.

I've blown two speakers on my phone already, waiting to replace this last phone until my upgrade. Why are these speakers on these so bad?
Mine acts up with the miui rom. But if I install cm7 they work fine. I don't understand that. Lol

called myself through my house phone and played with voodoo settings till i heard a difference. well, this worked for me:
in voodoo, scroll down till you see "Digital/Analog Conversion Quality Settings"
uncheck "Hi-fi record" (ADC 128x oversampling Maximize recordings quality)
rom being used: cynogenMod beta1
Voodoo Sound Plus 3.1.1
Upgrade to beta 2
The only setting that causes mic issues is the mic one the options are normal, balanced and loud something to that effect change it to loud and callers will hear you. The hifi record does not play a factor.
Holy double thread Batman!
shucks
the environments change the input volume and i think the hi-fi record turns on a gate. cause turning off hi-fi made a big difference to me cause people dont have hard time hearing me anymore and i dont have to touch anything. and i've always thought recording has to do with mic inputs. oh well....

I don't think so, I'm still on beta 1, but the voodoo toggle was the fix for me to get the mic to work properly, so I know they didn't fix it on Beta 1.

Well rc1 update one has been out for a litttle bit the change log says they boosted the mic

Beta 2 did not fix this issue in regards to what he's talking about, and without testing it yourself you shouldn't tell him he's wrong. I'm always told people can not hear me and I just did the same test with my home phone. With HiFi record enabled I could not be heard unless I put my mouth directly over the mic and talked very loud. With HiFi record disabled I could then be heard from a normal distance at which with it enabled I could not be heard at all from the same distance as if I were not even speaking.
Thank you for this. I'll test more later when my girl calls me and see if she can actually hear me ok or not with this disabled.

Beta 2 fixes this with the default kernel and no voodoo... most things I say are fixed are with the stock kernel...

Some of us use voodoo sound with the stock kernel through voodoo sound plus. That's where it gets confusing. I'm not saying the issue is cm9. It's definitely this setting and/or voodoo sound in general. I'm just saying this is good to know for any of us that use stock cm9 but also inject the voodoo driver via the app.

This totally works i tried it on 3 different cell phones my moms epic touch my dads zte fury and my younger brothers transform ultra i think the way it makes things higher quality is it filters out more interference ergo wind static etc etc but in doing so the volume it can record at is severly lowered.

Hi there I want to know if there's a way to disable the headphones jack hw , like in build prop or something. Since I can't unplug it by opening my n4.
I will appreciate a lot. My jack is bad I prefer not to use headphones than dealing with the crap of not hearing during call or no screen off.
Thanks

system/lib/hw is your best bet
Delete audio stuff for no sound

I was looking at sys/bus , but I see that in /system is where the drivers are. I don´t want to disable all the audio things! Just the headset. I have to find out wich one is it.
Thanks!
I purchased the Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500.
I'm facing a crackling/distortion during calls.
I got my handset replaced twice. My 2nd and 3rd handset after replacement also face the same issue.
I have given my handset again for replacemnt.
Anyone facing the same issue?
There's a crackling/distortion during calls at max volume.
+1
I have noticed that too. Beyond a certain sound, there is cracking sound. Happens on Airtel Network.
Yup!!!!!!!!
Same here. More audible when you hear the ring back tone. its like some thin film vibrating over the speaker.
btw I am on airtel too
Same here, when having a call I can hear a crackling sound, it's minor but somehow annoying. Right now I'm not worried but I'm thinking about how it might become a bigger problem in the future.

Take it from me, it is normal.. my colleague who has the S4 told me that he does not have this problem. I personally checked it and realised that the problem is actually there.. but only some of us notice it.. keep the volume above 3-4th level and you should it be fine..

There is a new update on galaxy s4 india today. Update it and see if the problem has reduced. I feel it has reduced but it could just be a placebo effect..

i'm using MEA f/w and still have the crackling sound, but it's much better when using "clear sound" setting
Same here.. with clear sound enabled it it greatly reduced.

Fixed on MF3 :good:
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
I can also confirm that samsung has fixed the problem. I am using MF8.
I don't think this is a software issue, but a hardware one.
I disassembled an S4, I unmounted the earpiece speaker. It comes attached with 2 more sensors.
I made a test call with the back case disassembled so I could press with my finger against the earpiece speaker and the crackling noise dissipated away.
Its like by pressing on it the vibration of the speaker was limited and it sounded pretty normal at max volume.
As a workaround, I inserted a piece of low density foam (found in many packaging boxes) between the earpiece and the front speaker grill and the distortion appeared again, but fainter, after I mounted the back case (speaker assembly) and tightened the screws. Indeed, like others said, its best heard when ring tone is playing when calling someone.
The earpieces is found for $3 on ebay as spare parts, maybe I'll try a new one.
I really hope its not a Samsung design flaw. Check the pics. Thoughts?
I'm pretty upset. I paid a lot of money for this phone, it has a problem and I don't like to send it to service to get it raped by some uncaring hands. I would like to have it changed, I hope its not going to be a difficult process as many things are in my country after you pay the money. How hard was it for you to get it changed?
Has this issue been treated in other threads on the internet?
Little offtopic: the best in call sound experience I had was/is with Blackberry Bold series. They have a clear sound, crisp, no distortion, even with a little bass. Sounds solid. Too bad is that limited.
The problem is with Adapt Sound!, disable it in sound settings [Call Sound] and everything should be fine. Hope this helps:good:
