I'm rooted, no problems at all except I installed some notification and ringtone apps today and when I tried to listen to the ringtones, there was no sound. I tried Netflix and no sound. My music players are the only thing that still plays out loud. Oh, and my current notification sounds quit sounding too.
Any ideas where to look or a fix? Thanks!

kmodek,
There was a sound problem with the initial Kindle Fire HD 7" release, although the current
version has been perfect. Music and Netflix application calls to there own software sound controller, so
this may be the ICS controller that's failed. Take a peek by pulling down the bar, click on More, then
click on Sound & Display. Is the volume up here? How about Mute All Notifications, is that
checked? Is Dolby on? If yes, turn it off (just as a test). Does your sound come back?
If none of this works, send it back to Amazon for replacement, you may have an older
revision that was accidentally released (what is the serial number? This is under More>
Device>About).
My serial is d025 a0a0 2394 19j8
System version is 7.2.3_user_2330720
I uninstalled all the ringtone apps and sound came back for a couple of days but now it's gone again.

kmodek,
Contact Amazon, ask them to replace your Kindle Fire. It is defective, period.
The volume service does not come and go unless the Kindle is defective.
Sorry for the bad news. If it is out of Warranty, contact us, we service
the Kindle and are very reasonable.

Will they replace it if it's rooted? That's what I'm afraid of.
I've noticed this problem too, but I found that if I only change volume via the notification slider it doesn't happen. Stay away from sound managing apps that separate the the different volumes, that's what causes it for me.

Kmodek,
I am not Amazon, so all we can do is go by past experiences. Yes, in the past they have overlooked
Rooted devices and replaced the devices. The other option is to remove Superuser.apk from
/system/app - if you can not, which I believe you can not, then send it in, all they can say is no.
If they do say no, send it to us, we will get it to work. We are very reasonable and fair.

MadJoe,
We found a bug in Netflix and Hulu which both use there own Volume control Service. This sometimes
freeze and we have to exit the application and open the application back up, then the Volume Service
works fine. The fact that it does not work in anything but Music means he has a serious problem with
the Kindle OS. This can be fixed by obtaining a USB Factory cable, then Flashing a new system.img.

Had the same issue. This was the solution. (Had to reboot to get it to work) Nice work!
I have also had issues where dolby turns off on its own. If i go into settings and toggle it the sound comes back louder than before, which is how I know dolby is back working.
Both of these issues make me wonder how CM10 will deal with dolby.

Of course i'm rooted with custom rom and i accpeted supersu warning. Are u sure we are both talking about Note 3? I've got n9005 variant off-contract, simfree

I'm using the unbranded n9005 as well as a custom ROM. I'm assuming you have already done a clean wipe and uninstall and reinstall the framework? Maybe getting a fresh start just might be something that your phone needed.

Since HTC forgot to include the button backlight for the capacitive keys, there is a way to enable them, if you have root. I do not take credit for the app, I just happened to realize it works to enable the keys when I was telling another user about it who wanted to disable the backlight on a Sense ROM. I personally don't use the capacitive keys and use the onscreen nav bar, so I hadn't worried about them, but I just discovered this worked by accident.
Install the following app, grant root permission, and select either bright, dim or off and there is a set at boot option in the overflow menu/settings. The lights shut off with the screen. It isn't the perfect fix, but it will give you backlight on capacitive keys until HTC releases an update.

Again, this is not my app, and if you want to support the developer, purchase the paid app from the Play Store.

Also, thanks to @dragonballz2k for pointing this out, you have to change the SELinux status to permissive using the following app in order for the permissions to be writable. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux
Just install the app, grant superuser permission, tap the "Permissive" button and reboot. Just leave the app installed. It will do its thing in the background automatically. (Note: this is not necessary if you are using ElementalX kernel as it already sets the SELinux status to permissive in the kernel.)
As always, any modifications to your device's software are at your own risk. Do not blame anyone but yourself if you break something. Not even your dog. He doesn't deserve it. And if he eats your friend's iPhone, let him sleep on the couch. He is a good dog.

Maybe it works because I am running a custom kernel, ElementalX 19.0. It is possible that it has changed the permissions of the necessary files.

So if you tap the bottom (full sun) button in the app it doesn't light up the keys? The debug info shows as read only for me as well, but it lights up immediately for me.

Maybe try revoking su permission and then accepting the supersu permission again when it prompts. If not, I'm not sure what the issue could be. I didn't write the app and it seemed to work fine for me, but there is a lot of craziness going on with sysfs security permissions and Lollipop on the m7 and m8. Flar2 (ElementalX dev) is having issues getting a lot of his custom features working properly because of this, but it seems to randomly affect some people and not others. Also make sure you have a current version of busybox.

It may actually make some work better. It may actually make some of the ElementalX kernel features work. I have had it installed since last Friday when I installed Project ERA (sound mod) and forgot about it and everything has been running great. In fact, things are working for me that others cannot get to work, even the kernel developer, flar2.
I have actually been talking to him about SELinux status and sysfs permissions in trying to fix some of the extra kernel features.
You just lose the protections afforded by SELinux enforced permissions that prevent other apps from modifying system files. Though KK 4.4.4 GPe did not have SELinux enforced. It was still permissive.

Thanks for the info, good to know as I been using ElementalX for a long time and it's an awesome kernel.
All you developer are awesome actually, I feel less need every day to buy another Android phone since apart from the m7 bloody annoying buttons for volume and power, with super creations like ElementalX and hopefully in the near future xposed & gravitybox the M7 is a excellent phone. Although with 5.0.1, I really miss long press volume to change track with Gravitybox...

Yeah I miss xposed for a few features, but not enough to go back to the laggy, battery hungry mess that was Kit Kat on the M7. I have already learned to live without it.
As for the volume key to change tracks, there are a few apps. I use this one. It works with Google Play Music, (and it says Power Amp and stock music players, but I don't use those so I can't test them). I can't get it working on Spotify or Rdio, even using the compatiblity modes. It doesn't use long press, but rather a double press of the volume up or down keys, but it is at least something. It doesn't use any extra battery since it only runs when music is playing and the screen is off. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.volbtntrackctrl

Yeah I use PocketSkip too, used it even in KK too a long time ago before i used GravityBox. PocketSkip is annoying because double press in more difficult in the pocket (with m7 awful volume rocker...) than a long press. Even more annoying is the sudden increase in volume before it change tracks. I mapped volume down in PocketSkip instead for the next song, more easy on the ear to hear a sudden drop in volume than an increase. I've e-mail and asked the author of any plans for long press and/or fixing the increase or drop in volume before skipping, but no response.

If you are running ElementalX kernel you don't need the selinux app as the kernel has already changed the status to permissive. I don't know about other kernels however.

So thankful I found this thread. I was getting tired of missing texts and other notifications due to the volume being crazy low. All better now. It's ridiculous for Lollipop to not have a setting to adjust this. Why would they do that? Other devices I have had have that adjustment, and of course I would always just turn it off. Very surprised Lollipop doesn't come with this adjustment and Motorola didn't see fit to have something of their own to correct it.
So I have noticed that this audio config tweak stops working sometimes. I have to reboot my phone then the audio is working again and not ascending. Not sure what is causing it to occur but it's happened twice now. As soon as I reboot, everything is good to go again.

It worked on Sense toolbox. Since it doesn't have support for Marshmallow..., need another option.

It's got sensitivity settings in app that need to be adjusted and has an option to click for extra in pocket turn on protection which I never even needed until I started wearing mid leg pocketed pants but my humble opinion is you weren't setting it up correctly in app because at first I wasn't but I respect the fact you used it and didn't like it. I just don't have those issues you mentioned. Oh well just a thought. Good luck.
