Maybe someone has already posted this; it wouldn't surprise me. I was watching Dexter on my tab a few nights ago, and I said, "Wow, the sound really sucks. Let me turn it up." It was turned up. F***.

So, I did some experimenting. 30 seconds later, I got it; I found out that if you hold any kind of card over the speaker, that because the speaker itself is on the slightest angle, the card doesn't block the sound, it projects it in another direction.

The card trick is easy to understand, but it begs the questions:
-- Are you running a stock ROM
-- ICS or JB
-- Have you tried any of the generic Android volume boosters like Volume+?
I don't have any volume issues with my TF300T. I've got Power Amp (unlocked) installed as my music player and it uses Direct Volume Control 2.3+, though I'm unsure if this effects volume of videos from the web. Anyone? I'm also running seanzscreams Hydro 4.1 rom and I forget if he did any volume boosting--it would not be out of character for him to have done so.
What I want is the usb adio that Jelly Bean is supposed to support.

I am unlocked and rooted, running ICS, and I think that makes it a stock ROM, right? Sorry, I'm kind of a moron when it comes to stuff other than the simple. I probably couldn't even root this thing again if I tried.
And for your other question, I've never tried any volume boosting apps; it never even occurred to me to search for that kind of thing. If you didn't tell me about their existence, I would have written it off as being as ridiculous as searching for a vibration function on the Android Market I'll go try one out now. This isn't a messy option or anything but it's certainly not ideal. lol

Power Amp sound settings only control the sound of audio played directly from Power Amp.

Hi guys,
can somebody please help me with the following problem?
Out of nothing my T-Mobile MDA Vario stopped giving sound with out the headset connected.
Every once and while it just works again, without any reason and the out of nothing it stops giving sound without the headset connected.
I have the exact same problem. I can only use my phone right now with a bluetooth headset.
I even tried to do a hard reset and nothing is fixed.
Can anyone help me?
Use the forum search engine - this is a very common issue.
The chip that switches between the built-in speaker and the wired headset very easily gets destroyed - in most cases it's short-circuit when you insert the wired headset into the phone. Nothing can be done to perevent this - except for NEVER using ANY wired headset (but a BT one instead)
Well, I never used the wired headset before. Only the BT.
well, sounds silly, but when i don't get sound without something plugged into the jack, i blow into the hole... that seems to work...
admittedly i can't use my stereo wired headphones anymore, because the radioshack adapter has a slightly bigger plugend that stretched out the insides... weee! (i use the adapter connected to another adapter that connects to rca cables that connect to a car amp...)
Sounds like your issue has to do with hardware but this happened to me once and it was a software issue. I had no sound at all, it only worked with a wired headset and I soft reseted mupltiple times and still nothing. What I did was soft reset it with the wired headset still plugged in and after it finished starting up I disconnected the headset and my sound worked again.
Strangely enough this worked

Thanks a lot guys! blowing the hole of the headset connector solved the problem on my htc prophet too! excellent!! (never would have thought of that, in fact i already was taking the phone apart LOL, luckily i found this post while doing it)
it works for xda2 himalaya..
just blow into it.. crazy solution that works
It worked on Compact (Magician) also
Hey, you saved my money... It worked for my Magician also.
Thanks a lot
AKa
i guess i have the same problem....the chip is broken so every time i make a call....long press the green or call button...the speakerphone will be enable...
Holy ****! this worked!!
Kind of makes me nostalgic for the original Nintendo, with those cartridges you have to blow on to "clear the dust" from the connections. Chances were better it was just your spit making a better connection back then. I wonder if the same applies here...
...I sleep now.

//too obscure?
Zetajunkie,
your solution is timeless. thanks a million dude. It still works when the bugger goes silent
Easy fix
When that happens - don't panic, just insert a thin screwdriver into the audio jack and wiggle it lightly. Helps if you have music or any audio file playing on your device at the same time.
Generally you get it when you pull out the wired headset and trip the switch, that gets stuck. Very common problem, everyone is always amazed I could sort it out on the spot within seconds. Try it. Just be gentle!!!!
Thanks!!
It worked for me with a thin screwdriver
Oh....my.....gawd!?!? but anyways if you have an O2 Atom Life... make sure you push near the bottom, cause thats where the button is.... gawd i hate when manufacturers do a dodgy job
In my case I don't have sound and the microphone isn't working. What Can I Do? Is something broken on the HTC?
when I have this problem I go to the comm manager and disable the phone for about 3-5 min then reconnect the phone. it works for me. the 1st few times it work for a day, 4days ect. now its been working going on 2 months.....(knock on woody wood)
I opened my Wizard, got to the phone jack, removed a tiny bit of dust from the inside, closed the phone, and it never lost sound again!
It's not that hard to open the phone, but if you're not very handy, ask for someone that works with this kind on stuff to help you.
I did this entire procedure in less then 5 minutes.
Lot's of my friends complained about dumb speech quality on my sgs2, currently on Cyanogen but with stock firmware too. With stock firmware i could disable noise reduction, which i had to do with every call, but it didn't make it really good.
Warning: The following will viod your warrenty and you can easily damage your phone! Just in case: i told you so and it's your responsibility, not mine...
Today i opened the phone (removed battery, sim, microsd), 6 or 7 small screws, with fingernail along all sides of the phone lifteing the two parts carefully apart, Being aware not to loose the plastic power and volume parts. I made the lower mic hole a little bit bigger, removed the rubber housing of the mic (lift it up a little bit and gently pulling away from phone) and made the hole a litte bit bigger (using a small flat screwdriver to access the inner part and a scalpel) , cutting away a little bit of the inside hole. After reassembling i used a paper clip to press the mic towards the display and the rubber piece to the bottom.
Now with picture guide, see page 2, thanks to speedys4 !
My friends asked me if i had a new phone after testing!
Finally this great piece of hardware does even phoning right!
this needs a picture guide

It really doesnt.... it is just 7 screws and pushing a pin/small screw driver into the mic hole after you haver removed the mic guard and then refitting everything. (then making sure the mic guard is refitted properly once everything is back together by looking in the mic hole, you should see the entire hole of the mic guard and a little block inside which is the mic).
If your unsure how to do any of that, even after reading the simple instructions above, I recommend you dont take apart your £300 phone yourself...
Also this fix is posted on page 8 on this topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127103&page=8
along with other software fixes. But like you say. 5 minutes work and its even better! and you get to keep noise cancelation!
Just did the same thing - removed rubber from lower mic. Tested - now seems I can really use speakerphone =D
Many thanks!!!
You have helped make my phone so much more perfect!!! thank you so so much!! I had to use a stanley knife but hey ho it worked and only one scarred finger, but well worth it!!
I assume it also resolves the echo issue too? It's discussed in details here, disabling noise cancellation fix it as well.
I would really appreciate if someone does a step-by-step picture guide.
Edit: Anyone knows a ROM that lets you to disable Noise Reduction by default? I've already tried the fix in VillainTweaks but that didn't work for me.
i have the original samsung black soft rubber case, i had to make the charging hole bigger because even the small microusb connector wouldn't fit otherwise. so i made a bigger mic hole too.
i don't hear any echos.
You don't hear the echoes, but the people calling you hear their own echo unless you disable NR.
nope, calling works well for me, noone i'm phoning too complains. i'm on the offical cyanogen 7.1 with radio ki4 right now and there is no way to disable NR afaik...

All I did was enlarge the main mike to about 1,5mm and totally cover the noise cancellation mike.
Works like a charm,

I will get back rubers to microphones, and make bigger holes in both rubbers.
now its crystal clear sound
I had to do the same on mine: cutting rubber and enlarge the hole, now it sounds good.

Congrats on the DIY.
But can you also help me on increasing my Bluetooth Mic Volume levels?
I've tried the service mode option which is not a permanent fix and I don't find it good.
Thanks!
I don't know if any of you have noticed or not, but the Note records video in stereo! The only problem with this is that it seems the channels are backwards!
Left is right, and right is left!
This is the case when holding the Note such that the home button is on the right. Even when you rotate the device 180 degrees around, so the home button is on the left instead, even though the recording shows up oriented correctly, and the audio is correct as well, when you export to your PC, the video is now upside down!!
Has anyone else had this issue?
Is there a way to fix it?
Are we alone?
FINALLY!!! I've been searching for weeks for any information about this issue with zero success! I repeatedly missed this thread because I was using the terms "reverse stereo". Finally in a last ditch effort before posting a new thread of my own I decided to search for "stereo" only which led me to this thread.
I must say I was hoping I'd find some answers here but it does give me some measure of comfort to finally see that I am not alone. I was beginning to think that my unit was defective and it still very well may be. The only other explanation I can think of for such a sheer lack of information on this topic is that most people haven't noticed this issue, which is really difficult to imagine.
My issue is exactly the same thing: When I first noticed the stereo sound was reversed I thought that perhaps I was holding the device upside down in terms of the orientation intended for video recording, but when I attempted to fix the problem by changing the orientation of the device I noticed that the video was recorded upside down, meaning I was holding it correctly all along and the stereo is indeed backwards!
I've NEVER had this much difficulty finding information on such a major issue. So I would really like to know, as I'm sure the person who started this thread would like to know: Is this a widespread but relatively unknown problem or do a very select few of us have defective units? It would be really nice if ANYONE would comment on this! I'd be just as interested to know how many do NOT have this problem as those who do.
I wasn't aware that the Note records stereo audio on the camcorder!
Too bad it's reversed... :-(
But I hope there's a fix soon.

I wasn't aware myself until I watched video taken with the Note while wearing headphones. It was quite obvious to me that the device was using a stereo mic setup, but it was equally as obvious that the stereo was reversed. I wasn't able to find any settings on the phone to correct this. Incidentally you can see the microphone pinholes on both ends of the phone -- one on top to the left of the headphone jack and the other on bottom between the USB port and the S-pen well.
As for when it's fixed I still don't know how widespread this problem is, whether it affects all Notes or if it's isolated to a very small number of units. If the latter is the case then it's likely a hardware problem and will never get fixed. If you don't have any info on the solution to the problem you can still help by reporting on whether or not your device also exhibits this behavior so that we can get an idea of how widespread it is.

I know it affects my i9100 and my P6800...
I believe i read on the sgs2 forums that ICS introduced stereo recording for that device. Are you guys by any chance also running ics on your notes? If this is the case, it could explain why so few have had the chance to notice the issue.
There's stereo recording in gingerbread. I noticed it the same way Ajax did, I was listening to a concert recording I made through headphones and heard it. Though...I also learned the note sucks at recording in loud environments
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
the note has always recorded video in stereo. noise cancelling mic for L, normal mic for R. except i've only just noticed that its reversed as well.
I'm on Chainfire ICS and just made a test video and noticed it was in fact reversed stereo!
Now here's what's very interesting:
If I flip the Note so the home button is on the left, my video image comes straight (not upside down) and audio properly aligned!
At first I thought that the grayed out option on the screenshot would have something to do with it, but I think that's for the front facing camera, and it flips the video horizontally not vertically.

Okay now we're getting somewhere! So it's not just a problem with the Note which is comforting...well, to Note users anyway. At the same time if this issue is as widespread as JEW is illustrating then the general lack of information or even discussion on the matter, not just on this forum but on others as well, is strange to say the least. I guess I should point out that the former was an attempt at a condensed reference to Jade Eyed Wolf; not trying to be antisemitic.

Actually I have yet to load any custom ROM. To be clear I am experiencing this reverse stereo issue with the stock 2.3.6 Gingerbread that shipped with the device. I don't know if stereo recording is built into the OS or if that functionality was added by the device manufacturer. I do know that HTC now has stereo video recording capability in some of their newer devices but haven't yet found any indication as to whether those devices also exhibit this reverse stereo behavior.

Yes I also came up with the brilliant idea of simply turning my phone upside down to record video. The phone appears to know which way should be up during playback, but have you tried viewing that same video on another device? Try viewing that same video on your computer and you'll notice that regardless of how it appears on your phone it is indeed upside down! What's more the sound is STILL backwards relative to the video!
As you pointed out, Rayan, the "save as flipped" option is greyed out because it's only for self-recording mode. It essentially allows you to save video as a mirror image.
This is good that we are finally getting some discussion on this issue. Perhaps we will now be able to get to the bottom of it.
I've only found out about this today. So I registered and saw the noob video.
The left and right channels aren't actually reversed. The camcorder is just left-handed; that means the primary mic (bottom next to USB) is fixed to the left channel and the secondary (top) is fixed to the right. It's kept this way regardless of how your landscape is oriented.
You'll just have to remember to record with the record button on the left. That's really annoying. I hope this gets fixed in ICS.
me too..
Hi,
any news?? I am experiencing the same problem..
Annoying if you are using a flip cover, the flap has to be kept held up.
Turning upside down helps on the device itself. Note can fix it on during playback.
But on PC it is upside down.
Ps. Yeah , my Note has the same problem.
On the PC, you can just flip the audio using whatever video program
Oh yeah. Terrible audio recording. Hissing sound everywhere.

Have the same problem with reversed stereo. That problem appears on OFW 4.0.4, CM9 and CM10.
I tired to demux audio track, revert channels, encode to aac and mux video with correct audio.
Why CyanogenMod Team doesn't fixing this problem for a long time?
Recently i sold my Note and as a temporary solution bought S2.
Guess what! It has the same problem.
Anyone else have the same setup and have sound problems?
I can connect to 1 speaker without getting cracking sound, but as soon as I connect the second speaker, distortions and cracking sound begins. Tried factory reset speakers, also tried switching main speaker, party mode and stereo mode, same results =/
Its Note 20 Ultra related, cause our Galaxy S20 or Tab S6 do not create this sound error when they connect to the same JBL Speakers.
They're bt?
Connections>Bluetooth>Advanced
Play with the settings there.
I don't know if it can solve the issue, but if it's Bluetooth connected, you can first try to disable absolute volume in the developer settings.
For it to work a reboot of the phone may be needed.
It basically makes the volume control of the Bluetooth devices independent of the phone's one, but oddly enough it changes the sound quality for the better on my side, and I've read it can solve some issues.
Sounds like bandwidth problems.
Might be the n20u is struggling to keep the data rate up.

Check in developer options, there are a load of BT settings you can change in there, including AVRCP, my JBL earphones use AVRCP 1.5 (1.4 set as default) also the codec used can be change, bits per sample etc

OK, Ill look into that. However this doesnt seem to be volume affected, cause its making interferance sound on low and high volumes. I think it makes less interferance when music isnt as intesive though...

Yeah. Today I tried connecting both speakers at same time with its own bluetooth connection to the phone, and it worked flawlessly. But when I use dual Bluetooth from phone, I dont get the speakers in Stereo mode, so it looses the entire point of having two of these JBL speakers. When I connect to one speaker and have the audio link to the next speaker with JBL connect, the interfernence, cracking noise starts at once. Almost like its loosing connection. And it doesnt matter if its close or 10 meters from speakers. Also tried disconnecting my SmartWatch from phone, disabled Wifi, mobile data and lots of stuff.

Problem was compatible from Samsung bt5 to jbl bt4. 2
After change jbl to bt5.1 the problem was solved

It took me about 5 hours to measure the best result that should compensate most if not all volume levels.
It is supposed to only work with the Nothing Phone 1 to sound as intended.
Resonancy from the ear-piece is more likelier to appear but not concerning, as it is just air causing interference with the grill.

1. Download the App Wavelet from Playstore. Wavelet is free, without battery or privacy concerns and pretty smart.
It knows what device you currently use and switches profiles accordingly.

2. Enable legacy mode in Wavelet on the Symbol bottom left and apply all values that you can see in the Screenshot. (Channel balance can be turned off, if you prefer higher volume instead of better Stereo-seperation in Landscape.)

Will check the app out! Cheers
Thanks for sharing that it sounds wayyy better! Been using Wavelet for the last few weeks for headphones but didn't think to play around so much with custom stuff
Wow thank you! It really is like night and day.
Spectacular. Thank you!
What a difference that made. Massive music improvement. Thanks for sharing
This sounds so much better, thanks!
Yes, thanks a lot.
Difference is impressive yes, but it's weird with this settings i have some tracks (music) crackeling, hope it's just saturated frequencies, not push so much the loudspeakers.
Does this only affect sound through the speaker or will the settings affect my bluetooth audio as well?

the crackling you hear is air created by interferences with the grill that stops dust and dirt particles and only appears on the earpiece for me. i'm pretty sure that a damage is highly unlikely to appear by these distortions. the phone even on stock is borderline distorting at max volume.
from my experience this varies heavily on the genre you pick. i tend to have most crackling when listening to male singing or podcast voices but nothing when listening to drum n bass or dubstep tracks for example. i rarely listen at max volume though. it works with all stock ringtones too.
i designed this EQ curve to work with all volume levels but most importantly to be focused around 40% to 70%, because this is the volumerange i mainly listen to when watching youtube or gaming.

It's really on rare tracks like : L'Impératrice — SONATE PACIFIQUE
I listen this track on Deezer
Thanks for your thread and reply

Simply brilliant, makes the phone's audio quality up to a great level either to speaker or headphone. Nicely done mates!
Will this work if set once and forgotten, even if the app isn't running in the background?
impressive. This sounds so much better. Nothing has to read this thread and make this equalizer changes part of the firmware, this is such a big improvement
Definitely an improvement!
Brilliant. Thank you!
