Hey there, i'm having an issue with the speaker: after installing CWR and CM11M8 the sounds get cracky, like a broken speaker! It not always happen. I'm worried about the possibility to really break the speaker due to this issue. Searching online i've discovered that is a "already" fixed issue, but here it is. I've even read that if you disable the unlocking/locking screen sounds you can fix it.
how can i solve this without getting back to the crappy TW?

Well, at least it's not an HW issue, now i know it. Is it possible that it will ruin the speaker?
Thought it has been resolved

Hey all
Would just like to know a cause and perhaps a solution to a problem I have.whenever I have my earphones plugged in there is a crackly sound every couple of moments.this happens no matter what volume my phone is on.it ceases when I have any form of media playing.so I would play a video and lower the volume to min to check and the crackling stops.
The problem is not in the earphones as I've tried with many including an expensive pair of headphones.anybody have any idea cheers folks
By the way I also have this problem my Xperia Neo
It's due to the speaker being clogged up by ear gunk they need to be cleaned

But he already made a point that it's software related... "so I would play a video and lower the volume to min to check and the crackling stops."
That's an interesting observation about it being a software problem.being a software problem would it be more likely that I'd be able to fix the problem myself?
The last thing I want to do is factory reset so I'm looking for other options before I try that.
Thanks for the replies lads

I too am having this issue, if it can be called as such, except it happens only when I plug it through my car's audio system.
Similar as above, it goes *pop* - *pop* - *pop*, etc every second or so (on the audio system).
As above, it also happens when there is no sound (any form, media-navigation-TTS-call) playing at all.
Out of curiosity do you have an amp of any sorts for your earphones/headphones ?
I haven't tried with an app but the popping you described is the problem I'm having.maybe I'm just fussing but it's a bit annoying when browsing on the phone with earphones.
Thanks for the replies
I noticed that even though the phone is muted and all sounds are off, sometimes there is a clicking noise coming from the speaker when I press buttons that would normally make a noise IF the phone wasn't muted. Is that common?
I've noticed this too, it seems to be a very quiet clicking sound though, and its kind of intermittent, it only happens every 3 or 4 clicks.
Yes, thats correct!
Have you been able to find a fix?
I first commented on this issue on the official CM10.1 thread but realized it was off-topic to do so.
For me, turning off click sounds in Settings fixes the issue although if you put it on Sound or Vibrant mode, you won't be able to hearing any clicks

Im having this issue as well, anyone been able to find a fix ? anyone using a custom rom that makes this go away ?
Me too. Both N4s.
[LG NEXUS⁴] [CARBON] [MATR1X]
i have it too.
and thing that comes to my mind. as you all know speaker on N4 is constantly buzzing (due to bad electric isolation or smth like that)
so could it be that touching the device makes some kind of electrical interference (i dont know how to express what i mean) and we hear it through the speaker ?

I had this on my previous android device (LG P990). I think it's just a software bug on ALSA.

yeah, in linux is the driver audio
I've noticed this too... I'm waiting for 4.3...
I received my device a couple of days back and today I encountered a very weird problem. Sometime phones uses the front speaker and sometimes it uses the rear loud speaker. I got a call, received it and turned the speaker on..the other person on call couldn't hear my voice but I could listen to hers. The a minute later the phone was playing everything from the front speaker rather the than rear. Be it audio songs, videos song anything. When I was pressing the volume rocker, there was no sound coming from any speaker. Finally, I restarted the phone and it's back to normal. What went wrong, any idea? As this might happen again.:s
My phone's condition: Totally stock. No root. No ROM. No kernel change. All stock. Running 4.2.2
Guess I was suppose to post it in Q&A forum. If so, mods, please move it there.

The EAR PIECE that 'can' be called a Front Speaker (as inside the earpiece is a speaker), which goes without saying.
-----------------------
Anyhow, back to the topic.. Has anyone encountered this issue on his/her device?
Seeing responses like the above quoted comment, I might add my phone rattles, but I don't find it an issue. As long as such things aren't affecting the usability of the device, I am completely OK with it. But 2 problems have really bothered me. One is well known, the camera can't focus at all and second is the subject of this thread. So, I really want to inquire if anyone came across this earpiece/speaker problem that I faced and how it was fixed, permanently.
RMA that sucker. Hardware fault.

I had a similar problem.
I would play music from the back but eventually it would play music in the earpiece. I forgot what I did prior, but it had to do with using a modified google play version.
I just re-flashed the rom and it worked fine after that.

Alright, thanks for the response.
I am playing music from the built in Music Player. And I am totally stock. Although it didn't happen again but I was hoping if I could know what to do (besides restarting) when it happens the next time.
hi, mine is XXUBMJ1, after 3 weeks of usage, the volume automatically increase sometimes, what could be the problem, is it a bug or hardware ? should upgrade the firmware ?

anyone experience like this?
Do you have any apps installed that control the volume on their own?

Then I have no idea, sorry. My other guess would be is that you're accidentally pressing the volume key in you pocket or something without realizing it. You could try factory resetting the phone. It can sometimes fox weird issued like yours.

have u check the adaptive option under the settings->sound->adapt sound?
Could it be that the adaptive sound is processing at certain point of time trying to give you the best sound that its think of?
Yes, I have experienced this under the following conditions:
-Phone just purchased, unrooted, completely stock. Playing music with PowerAmp with and without the EQ/Tone/Limit features, also happened with stock music app. The effect nearly blew out my eardrums once, but it happened several times. Music would play and very suddenly there would be a violent increase in sound, almost as if an EQ crashed. Sound went back to normal after I pressed the volume rocker in either direction. I am not so sure that this has to do with Adaptive Sound because I remember experiencing the same problem before and after i configured it. Overall, incredibly annoying and dangerous for my ears.
-Phone rooted, Viper4Android installed as a user app. The same problem happens using PowerAmp, Xenoamp and stock music app, but the increase is not so violent (not sure why, yet). Marginally tolerable, but still very annoying.
I have not found a fix yet, but still keeping an eye open.
That being said, my phone has music playing almost all day every day so I probably encounter the problem more often than others. I use earbuds, headphones and my car stereo. There is a Droid-Life.com review that mentions the issue and credits it to the phone's audio jack: http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/01/samsung-galaxy-note-3-review/
See the subsection for Audio Jack Issues. Here is an excerpt:
"Then, after a few minutes without touching anything while at full volume, the volume just explodes and you are left deafened by the surprise volume attack."
I would be interested to see if anyone reports the problem when playing music via the phone's speaker.

[Update] Looks like this is not an isolated issue. My friend's wife also facing the same problem and she sent in to reflash the unit at Samsung Care Center and the problem just disappear. My friend told me factory reset doesn't help though.
I have exactly the same issue you have. Same XXUBMJ1 ans using the device for a month now. Unknown and just reported to Samsung and was asked to walk in to get advice.
I have had the tablet for just over a week and although it has some issues it is running ok. The latest issue I have noticed (among others ) is that sometimes when playing music (through any music/video player) I cannot hear anything, it just goes silent (after pressing pause/play)-the music is definitely playing as the progress bar in the music player shows so. Then when tapping the pause/play button all I hear is a ear aching crackle. Does anyone else have this issue? It doesn't happen all the time but occurs on a daily basis. A reboot fixes it (but then it eventually returns again)...
I had the same problem but i got it fixed. Turn off adapt sound. Sound->Soundquality and effects->Adapt Sound->turn off
Is it only when using earphones or also using the internal speakers?
Try pairing it to a Bluetooth speaker or earphone just to make sure that it is a software problem or not.

I haven't noticed it when using the speakers (I rarely use these when listening to music), only with earphones. I don't have any bluetooth speakers. The fact that it works sometimes means it has to be software right? I have noticed several bugs (incl. random reboots-sd card related?), the software is the buggiest I have used in a while, I expected better from Samsung.

I'll see how it goes. I haven't used Xposed (and any modules) for a while now, I don't root my devices anymore-those days are long gone lol.
Disabling the UHQ Upscaler (and all other music enhancements) did nothing unfortunately, I have had enough of this tablet, I will contact the retailer and see what they say.

I ended up returning the tablet, too many issues, incl. random reboots etc... But I got the 7" version instead as it better suits my needs plus costs half the price. :victory:
No bugs or major issues on this one.
