Bad sound quality on 4.4 custom Roms - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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

Great Speaker

Do I just have a bunk device or does the speaker on the back just suck a large amount?
Maybe bunk? Mine's fine. It's louder than my old S2 and no distortions or anything.

Same as above, speaker works great, better then my S3 for sure.
Check out Fauxs kernel and his app Faux sound if you want to improve it even more.

[Q] Sprint S4 Speaker Volume Increase Program / Mod??

Have googled and searched here and while I can find some volume tweaks, I have found nothing that works with the sprint S4. My hearing sucks and even with hearing aids it is sometimes a stretch.
Does anyone know of any program or mod that will actually work on the rear speaker? Viper for Android appears to only work on headphones or audio output?
Thanks in advance
Thanks to jovy23 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293133 ...it increases stock volume, if you cant hear it after this you have a problem...lol...

[Q] Speaker Phone quality?

I was wondering if anyone has experienced this problem, as I am fairly new to the Nexus4 and therefore uncertain if this is just normal.
Basically when I use the speaker phone, on the Nexus 4, the other side will struggle to hear me. If I use the HTC Desire S, a 2 year old handset, and do the same thing, then the sound is crystal clear. Is the quality of the Nexus 4 good? Do I need to send it in for repair?
I have tried the stock ROM 4.3, [4.2.2] Official Illusion v2.1 and [4.3]BeanStalk Build 4.308 and several different Kernels. Even though the results vary, they all produce sound that I would say is very substandard for a decent handset. I have done full wipe delvik/cache and factory reset.
Your response would be much appreciated.
Does no one have any input on this?

Completely stock, use the speakerphone often, never had anyone complain about quality or volume... Sorry, not much help.

Wtf?
xda app
I have now sent the phone off for repair.
During my tests I also found that when the phone was on speaker phone only the top mic was working, not sure if that is normal.

Perfect phone but bluetooth streaming sucks.

Is there a file that we could modify to up the quality of the streaming audio? I remember on my nexus 4 running jelly bean I had to mod a file to fix the same problem. This is the only problem I'm having with this phone. I'm in my car for a long period of time throughout the day and im tired of the highs crackling and muddy bass. So if someone could give a helping hand it would be much appreciated. Thanks

VS980 here .. Streaming (to car) via bluetooth is awesome, same as hard-wired (old ears maybe but can't tell the difference).
Have tried with Belkin CarBT --> it broke (POS, barely 2months, customer-service (outsourced) sucks) --> currently with Kinivo BTC450
No issue with Stock or Malladus or Madhi or DU or Slimkat ... no modifications.

I too have this problem, but only at louder volumes. I'm on LS980. Problem goes away on AOSP-based ROMs.
