GPE ROM Sound Issues

I've been using this GPE ROM for a little under 3 months now and everything was working fine until a few weeks ago I lost sound to my phone. Music wouldn't play, and music players would crash. YouTube videos are in slow motion and are unwatchable. Sometimes sound in phone calls work, other times it doesn't. I looked around for a fix and even posted in the Q&A thread for this ROM (for which I received no response since I posted in November 22), but found nothing. I found a few temporary fixes for sound to come back for a variable amount of time, including taking out the battery for a few minutes and rebooting it, rebooting the phone a few times until sound works, and restarting the phone with headphones plugged in.
I tried the only other viable option: doing an advanced wipe x2 and reflashing the rom with a clean install.. unfortunately that didn't seem to work either. I would obviously love to get this fixed as I use my phone a lot and not having the ability to make phone calls, listen to music, and watch videos is very frustrating.
Any suggestions/solutions?

You could try flashing stock and redoing the whole process.

Any luck?

SM-N900W8 & CM11 M12 bugs and issues :(

I have a Canadian Note 3 (SM-N900W8), it's KNOX 0x0 rooted and I have CM11 M12 installed. I have been using only the M builds since I got this phone, I didn't even set up Touchwiz when I got it, I rooted and installed Cyanogenmod out of the box.
Now, with the new CM12 builds coming out, what happened to CM11, are they going to fix the remaining issues? Or did they just bail on legacy KitKat users because I'm having TONS of problems and I don't want lollipop, it runs like absolute crap for the nightlies right now and CM11 M12 isn't much better. Bluetooth takes a couple of attempts to connect, when it does my phone runs super slow to the point it force restarts. For instance, if I'm driving around, listening to music on the car stereo, pull over some where, find a new album on Google Music, start playing that, it's all good, do this a few times, every time I use my phone it gets slower and slower until it force restarts and then bluetooth has trouble connecting again. I've tried this on a few other vehicles of different brands and aftermarket stereos and it's the same result.
Audio is all funky when bluetooth is on too, it sounds like robots for the system sounds and if bluetooth drops while it's connected the music starts playing from the phone and sounds all roboty. I always do clean flashes too and the latest Paranoid Android GAPPS every time I reflash, the ROM is fine out of the box, works flawless for the first few days but after awhile, it becomes so bad I have to backup, wipe, reflash, and start over for another few weeks.
Another issue is somewhere between M8 and M12 one of the builds corrupted my SD card, I tossed in a second new card, it was corrupted again, FutureShop won't give me another one and said my phone is breaking them so I'm SD-less right now.
There are also quite a few apps that force close, but always at random, it's never when doing the same thing over and over, for instance, I can be scrolling through G+ and it tells me settings has stopped working, wasn't even using settings, didn't even have it open, haven't clicked it since booting my phone, just randomly stops working for no reason, this also happens all the time with the Camera, it says it just stops working when I haven't even used it and then if I try to use it, it says the camera is disconnected and won't work until I reboot.
I turn my phone off every night while it's charging and turn it back on every morning so every morning it gets a fresh restart, and I have to restart my phone probably 5ish times a day, if I'm using bluetooth more then normal then there's quite a few more unintentional reboots in there as well.
The last issue, which is a known issue is NFC not working, is there a fix for this yet? I kinda miss this feature and with how flawed CM11 is getting I don't know where to turn since they always seemed to be the most stable out of everything I've tried.
Any before anyone says Temasek's CM builds, I tried it, the final for CM11, it was worse then M12, it's exactly the same as M12, but every issue happens more frequently. Also, the pull down menu (when pulling down from the top right to show toggles), the bottoms of the last row was cut off so it didn't look very appealing either, it also used WAY more battery life, I usually get a full day out of one charge, so around 18 to 20ish hours on one charge, with temaseks cm11 I had to charge my phone half way through the day, sometimes my phone would just die on me without me knowing, the battery usage was always Android System.
A new problem that just happened lastnight was Google Keyboard was deleted and only the voice search would work, but "voice search can't be reached" so I couldn't search for another keyboard app from the playstore. I also used the stock GAPPS so AOSP keyboard is replaced with Google Keyboard, I had to reflash again this morning because I couldn't figure out the keyboard thing, there wasn't even a keyboard under languages in settings so I had no options to pick which keyboard to use. When I reflashes this morning I used the Modular GAPPS to it keeps the AOSP Keyboard just in case this happens again but I'm getting really tired of only having a reliable phone for a few weeks.
So, are there any fixes for these issues?
Bluetooth taking multiple attempts to connect
Bluetooth forcing random reboots
Bluetooth making audio from device all funky and sounds like a robot
Corrupting SD cards
Random system apps stopping without me even using or opening them
Google Keyboard vanishing
Are there any stable ROMs I could try for the HLTE? Maybe one that has working NFC? I'm almost thinking of going back to stock *throws up in mouth* but I don't know what else to do with how many bugs there are and Lollipop is only getting worse with the issues.
I'm also trying to avoid Lollipop because everything is white, Note 3 is an AMOLED display, each pixel illuminates on it's own so white screens use WAY more battery life then black ones which was a feature of Temasek's CM11 that I liked, had the option in settings to make everything black like the good old days.
So guys? Really out on my luck here, not sure what the next step is, any fixes for these problems? Any other ROM's I could try? Would flashing a new recovery and reflashing CM11 M12 fix some of these issues? I'm using Xiaoli CWM v6.0.4.7(20140125). Would the fact that KNOX isn't tripped have something to do with this? I really don't understand why there aren't more posts for these issues which leads me to believe I'm one of the only ones experiencing them.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
EDIT:
I forgot to mention that when recording audio or video, it's as if the mic gain is set on full so even the slightest sound is pure distortion, normal talking volume and it clips, I found an app that lets me choose between the mics and when I pic the external mic, it's all muffles as if something is covering it but my phone wasn't in a case while I was testing so I'm not sure what the deal is there but I can't record any decent audio with this and when I record in 4K using Cinema FV-5, all the videos turn out looking like Anaglyph 3D but all pink and green, it's really weird and I don't understand why, but 1080p at 60fps works fine.

I am on CM12 and luckily have had no issues at all. I came from KK 4.4.4 and still have the NB7 BL and modem. I tried one of the guys slim ROMs alpha builds but had issues (probably operator error) but I've tried Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi , LTE etc and everything is good. Not sure what to tell you. I do however always wipe internally and d/l all my apps again through WiFi. A bit cumbersome I know but it won't give me any residual data.

Superman rom v1.6.5 crash

Hi guys,
I've recently installed the latest superman rom after being on the previous version using the OTA updater.
1. After installing the latest update my phone will randomly crash 2-3 times per day.
2. Always after reboot, media sound turns to max, even though its on mute. I have to physically turn it up, then put it back to mute.
Has anyone come across this?

make a clean install bro.. We dont have any problem like that. ( Im not using xposed )

Same problem here, but only after flash the Super kernel

Unsure about Reboots could be a 100 things, Try checking the logcat, Post us that after a crash. will give us a insight to what caused it.
But am on Stock, and my audio changes level after a reboot. I dont think its a bug, but more of a feature.
(Flat battery, put it on charge, devices comes to life and someone tires to ring when its in another room, You where unable to turn off silent mode, so you dont hear the phone and miss the call)
When the audio changes on first Boot, then you would hear the phone.
It frustrates me, as i reboot while in work, and dont expect my phone to start blurring out music lol!
But i can see both sides to this audio issue.

No Audio Output from 6P

Hey guys! I am not able to listen to music or open youtube videos or even do anything related to output of audio of my phone. On Google play music, I get "Couldnt pay tax requested" and on youtube I get playback error. I am not able to make calls as well.
I have flashed numerous images and the issue still persists. If anyone could guide me towards the right direction that would be great.
I bought the phone 7 months ago and suddenly this incident took place. I was running stock 7.1.2 when this happened by the way
Thank you for the help.

First of all, 7.1.2 is a Beta stage not a release.
Second, If you can have sounds on other options such as ringtones and so on, then it is an OS issue and a clean flash might solve it.

Thank you for the reply.
No sound from Ringtone as well. Like no audio is playing on my phone at the moment.

So how can you tell if it isn't a hardware issue and not Android problem?

I haven't heard of what you are describing as being a known bug in 7.1.2. You can try a factory restore but personally I would do a clean flash of the latest stable Google image and see if it fixes your problem. And I would use the flash-all.bat command like Google suggests rather than flash all the parts individually like the Heisenberg guide on XDA tells you to do. I don't suppose you are running any audio mods on your phone? And you checked the obvious? Your phone isn't in Airplane Mode, Do Not Disturb isn't activated, sound shows the various volume levels aren't at 0?

Having same issue, no audio at all from speakers, cant play youtube / googleplay music or videos, headphone jack does not work eighter, wont even detect the headphones, soft reset/ hard reset wont work, havent tryed out rooting and changing rom or reverting from 8.0 (currently running), apart form audio everything works fine, im still trying to figure out warranty as its still in its period, but without proof of purchase they are beeing jerks so far, so im rooted with some ideas is ive had previous experiences with phones, might it be possible for audio drivers to go missing or messed up? or should i take it to a repair shop and see how much theyll ask for it? or shuld i just upgrade to something better and let this brave hero die alone, maybe use as hotspot in my car haha

Headphone trouble

I got a strange problem and honestly I ran out of idea.
I use a custom Rom, resurrection remix for Oreo. I like the Rom. But I tried to change it to another and problem is still the same. I even try Pie, and Nougat.
My problem is with the headphone jack. It's working for the phone and notification sound but not for music.
I got Bose in-ear headphone. When connected, the device start spotify, witch is fine. No music coming out of it. I unplug, music start from speaker. I connect again, no music. I try to raise the volume, doesn't change a thing. I thought my headphone was broken but I also tried with different set. Same result. After that, I was amazed to hear notification sound coming from headphones. Making I can, headphone and mic work properly.
I reinstall the Rom, try to change to another, try to flash viper, always the same result. I try 5 different Rom, for Nougat, Oreo and Pie.
I'm out of idea. Anyone got an idea?
Thanks

That's a common issue that I faced when I flashed Pixel experience rom.

Ok, but if you revert back to Oreo or nougat, does it fix it? I can't seem to be able to do that

I recently started having the same issue. Music doesn't work with the headphones jack. Checking logcat shows tons of errors related to the sound device, and these errors begin when I insert any headphones. I don't know how to diagnose these errors. But it started happening suddenly. One day the jack just stopped allowing music to pass through, and no ROM, kernel, or known-good backup has fixed the issue.
I'm gonna try restoring to 100% stock as a last resort.

Finally, i'm not alone. Have you tried music through Bluetooth? casting? speaker? For me, all this is fine. Only music through headphone is the problem.
I try with YouTube, and it become insanely slow, less than 1 frame per second.
I tried 2 different custom rom, i did try a few firmware, a complete restart. I even tried android Pie.
I'm desperate, I cannot listen to music when I work.

You are not alone! I have exactly the same symptoms: any sort of media player (PowerAmp/YT/Netflix) all progress at super slow speed. The "time remaining" counter on the player takes 3-4 real seconds to move one second on the user interface. No audio is produced at all, but any video playback becomes incredibly choppy. Bluetooth is okay. Casting is okay. External speaker and earpiece are just fine.

I just returned to 100% stock. Huge hassle.
1) Had to make a TitaniumBackup and TWRP backup.
2) Had to move everything from my sdcard to my PC.
3) Had to FASTBOOT ERASE the userdata/system/vendor/cache partitions.
4) Then had to FASTBOOT FORMAT:EXT4 the same partitions.
5) Then had to flash OOS Open Beta 18, then re-flash TWRP.
6) Headphones worked!!!!!
Now I'm putting all of my data back and restoring my backup of AospExtended (decrypted). If my headphones don't work, then I know it's the ROM and probably need to start clean. Who knows why the ROM would suddenly freak out about the headphone jack, but at least I know my issue is software.

No problem
In twrp, repair and format each partition to exf4
after that, flash from the oneplus website the latest firmware (about 1.3 gb) I used 5.1.5 (the lastest non-beta at the time)
After that, flash whatever you want and voilà
