[Q] [I9500] Audio Issues while using DSP - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On my Galaxy S4 I9500 I would like to use a DSP. But when I turn on a DSP and change the settings in the DSP I get noticeable static and hissing coming out of my headphones. I'm not sure whether its the headphones, the ROM, the kernel, or just the phone itself. I'm using the Perseus I9500 kernel and the WanamLite custom ROM. The headphones I'm using are the Apple EarPods.
I'm just wondering what the issue may be and what can be done to get rid of the hissing. The hissing is more noticeable at lower volumes fyi.
Thanks

This happens if u use an eq app like equalizer or noozeoxide too..
The sammy sound fx cause no problems @ all..

no problem with dsp here

Yes, it happens. I have a hard time not questioning the hearing on folks who say that they don't hear it. The issue is something noted in the CM thread on the 9505 also, and they have different DAC, so it's not hardware related. Freeze DSP and the problem vanishes.

Quiet speaker on CM7

Ever since installing the first CM7 built at the beginning of the year my phones external speaker has been substantially quieter when compared to Samsung Rom's. I have turned off the voodoo sound option to tune speaker for music, which makes it only slightly louder. On Samsung rom I was able to always hear my phone ring and incoming notifications, lately I have been missing a lot because the external speaker volume is just too low. Anyone have any solutions to increase the maximum volume of the phone speaker? Thx

Aha, I thought I was getting deafer from nightly to nightly, but also noticed the lower volume. Think that on #96, it was still like stock.
dont you think you would get more help on cm forum ?
which versions are you talking about.
I'm running #102 and do not notice anything like it.
Go to DSP manager->phone speaker->enable equalizer. Then select custom preset and increase the last 3 bars to around +5. Reduce the last one if u getting too much treble

[Q] Adapt Sound?

Has anyone used this?
I started it up the other night, plugged in my headphones and went through the steps.
Next thing I know, my stock Music app won't produce any sound through any sort of output. I can still get sound from Pandora and other things.
I finally realized that I had to turn off Adapt Sound.
I'll be honest, I'm not even sure what it is or what it does.
Not everyone hears the same as everyone else one ear could hear differently than the ear on the opposite side of said persons head and "adapt sound" is the attempt to solve this issue. I however flashed a kernel with beats support then the beats mod and I take care of the settings that way for awesome sound.

That is exactly what im looking for. Thought i could "tweak" the system sound by running the adapt sound and lying to it telling the phone that i didnt hear the super high beeps, with the hopes it would turn those frequencies up. But that did not go as planned, Which kernel did you flash? In the meantime I'm reading through all the dif kernels.

Check out the ViPER4Android sound mod, simple installation and nothing to do through recovery. It has options to increased max volume level for headphones, speaker, and bluetooth. And not only that, there are dozens and dozens of other options to tweak the sound of your device. Plus in the thread there are a bunch of prepare sound profiles that tell you what to set all the settings to for various listening purposes!

[Q] Nexus 4 low headphones volume, any fix?

Guys, I had issues with the speaker volume, but they somehow fixed themselves. Yesterday I tried to listen to some music and my headphones were barely audible outdoors at full volume. I'm quite sure the headphones are fine, as they are rather loud when plugged into my wife's iPhone, but with Nexus 4 I get may be 1/3rd of their usual volume at 100% slider setting.
I tried to search on the forum and Google it, but could find a guide to fix this issue. Has anyone encountered and successfully fixed low 3.5mm jack volume?
I would appreciate your suggestions! Thanks!
Are you rooted?
If yes you can try an audio mod like xLouder or Viper4Android.
If not you can use poweramp to boost everything although it will probably sound like ****.

Thanks for your response!
I'm not rooted, running fully stock. I don't really need to boost *everything*, just the headphone output, it's the only thing that has low volume.

Nexus 4 mic issue

When I record video the audio is really distorted. If I'm playing loud music in my car the audio comes out really bad on my nexus 4. Is there a fix for mic gain?

Dear Blankit,
I had similar issue while recording videos from concert. It seems its a common issue with nexus 4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046613 [reference thread]
The way I fixed the issue was downloading a custom faux kernel or any other kernel which supports sound modifications. I flashed the kernel and decreased the mic gain while recording the video. That worked for me. I did this when i was on JB 4.2 now its been a long time since I tested the sound control. Maybe you can find a kernel which lets you control the sound and that should fix your problem.
If you are on JB 4.3 then below is the thread for AK which seems to have Faux Sound control v3.

Bad sound quality on 4.4 custom Roms

Hallo,
I would like to make a simple question...
Tried 2 custom 4.4 Roms on my LG G2 (droidkangs and mahdis) and in both versions I noticed the same problem...
The speaker sound (even though loud) is of VERY bad quality when playing deeper sounds like basses!
In stock Roms the sound (same MP3) is crystallclear... Tried many settings in DSP manager... Tried almost everything I found in iNet, but I am going back to stock based Roms as on max volume its like my speaker is broken :/ (when I use headphones or BT headset I don't have that issue)
Could any1 please tell me what the reason for this problem is?? Is it normal that the sound quality from speaker is so much worse than the stock versions??
And can this be fixed?
Please, if some1 knows the answer just give me the info as I rly don't want to go back to stock Rom :/
Thank you!
I have the same problem on Cyanogenmod 11 and Paranoid .
CyanogenMod the sound is pretty low, on Mahdi's pretty high. Try equalizer settings on those ROMs. It might require a tweak to your liking.

Same here. Running CM11 and speaker quility cracks up when it gets loud. I tried messing with Viper, but alas, no improvement. Don't think there's a fix yet though..

Mahdi has same issue if you max sound... I think that all the 4.4 roms have this problem so flashing other customs won't help.
i never use the speaker because i thought it was terrible to begin with but i just tested it out and and mine does not get very loud but i use headphones 99.999.9999999999999 percent of the time but it is definately a bug but other than this bug i really havent had anyother problems
Getting the same poor phone call sound quality d803 carbon
