i9505 headphone clipping - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

is there any way to fix this? I have written to Samsung but they just said to factory reset phone. I have tried 3 different firmware and still have distortion and clipping. I have tried 3 different headphones and all are unbearable to listen too, when you put stock Samsung headphones in there's no problem. I tried playing music in my old S3 and sound is excellent.
am running I9505ZHUAME3 with 3.4.0 Adam kernel
I believe this is a common problem so I apologise if this has been posted already
hopefully a software issue.
thanks

Apparently it was fixed in the XXUBMEA update.

using the official ..mea stock rom, no more problems. used to have cracking sound with the old fw with low impedance headset, now its gone. if you still have problems buy earphones that have higher impedance (32ohms -upward)

I just went from Darky version 6 to 7 and still the same issue, ive also changed the kernel....
its more a crackling noise than anything....
Flash a stock rom, go back all the way to eclair if necessary and see if the problem is still there.
ive just factory reseted the phone and the noise and gone...... Software related then... :-(
Ignore that, its still happening, will swap the phone out me thinks

No sound on calls

A friend of mine has a brand new nexus4 but when phone calls are made there is no sound. It has 4.2.2 with .48 radio and new bootloader. I tried a couple things: rooted it and flashed the bootloader and radio again with stock rom. Then install cm 10.1 with the new and old radios with the same results.
Any suggestions?

Is their no sound at all or is the volume just really low, almost to the point where you cant hear anything? If so, I had this same problem and all i did was restart my phone and it seemed to fix itself.

I had the same issue after the latest PIE rom update. Flashing the radio solved my problem, try this radio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087227
Real quick: did your friend test the phone for sound at the store before paying for it? Or did the no-sound issue kick in only after a little tinkering?

Some times no Sound in calls:

Hi Guys,
I really need your help.
Issue is in one of the five calls I get no sound in in-ear speaker or loudspaeaker earlier I thought It was an network issue but apparently it's not.
If I open keypad while calling and press some numbers then I get the sound.
I am on the latest radio .48 that came pre-installed.
So till now what I have tried, changing kernels going back to stock kernels: none worked.
Also, Flashed PA still faced the same issue.
I also has nexus louder flashed, so I flashed the revert zip, still facing the issue.
Now I am downloading the latest radio zip again but I don't think that it will work.
Please suggest me guys what could be the cause of this issue and solution.

[Q] Galaxy S4 i337m - NO AUDIO WHATSOEVER

Total Noob here. I have a GS4 (Canadian Rogers Model i337m). When flashing CM 10.2 I wiped dalvik cache, system, data, internal storage, and cache (to get all the samsung stuff off my device) and formatted data. After flashing, everything worked perfectly EXCEPT there is no audio from anywhere. No systems sounds, no notification sounds, no music (headphones don't even work), absolutely nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've been racking my brain all day trying to figure something out. Thanks.
Stock firmware?
sent from my mobile device
Ive got the same issue, I was running OMNI rom until i got fed up of the phone powering off on its own. I decided to flash back to stock rom with odin then flash CM11 nightly. Thats about when I lost sound. Not only do I not have sound, the phone freezes up every time I use an app ( even dialer ) which requires sound. I've since tried flashing back to stock again in Odin, even trying different stock firmwares. I've still got the issue and the phone is basically useless as a phone without sound... Please help. Is this a modem issue? If so, how to I flash a new modem that will work, and doesn't flashing stock replace the modem anyway? Could this be a bootloader issue? I've been flashing roms and playing around with android for a while but I'd still consider myself a noob.
Same
I got the same thing here, No music plays at all, My phone completely froze when someone tried to call me. also complete noob at this stuff.
I did find a couple ROM's that were i337m 4.3. But none did anything, but did the same thing. All had no audio at all. I also get screen flashing a lot (That could just be my water damage)
Wouldn't mind finding an answer for this either!

I have yet to find a ROM that will let me Flash via Odin (Correction I did find one, but the same problems came up, no WIFI and no Audio), so the one I currently have is Goldeneye, which was flashed via CWM
Flash i337m 4.3 official firmware
You might wanna try flashing a new kernel. That usually fixes Wifi issues at least.

Hey MrKhozam thanks a bunch!
Sidenote, anyone know any Stock kernels of i337m? Or if they are even available for download. Or a way to get 'em?

[Q] How to fix Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M No sound Issue!

I messed around with my phone a lot, switching roms and tried updating modems. I ended up in a lot of different soft bricks and I have been going through a lot of frustration. I fixed everything and have my phone working except my audio doesn't work whatsoever. I've tried many different roms, I've tried switching Bootloaders, Kernels, and modems and nothing works. I know my speaker isn't just broken because my phone won't even let me attempt to play any type of audio. Youtube's video's won't play, my music app says all of my music files are unsupported and games don't make any noise. What else is there to try?
Install Stock ROM using Odin.
