[Q] i9505, no sound, DSP Manager crashing - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
My device baseband is I9505XXUEMK9, Android version 4.3.1, and on a custom ROM (Slimbean).
The issue began when I attempted to flash a 4.4.2 (official) stock ROM from another country, which I now acknowledge as a MAJOR mistake. It was unsuccessful and led to my phone being soft-bricked. However, I had backed up my device prior to flashing 4.4.2 so that ensured its functionality.
After restoring my phone using the backup, the phone completely lost sound output. Whenever I tried to play music, the message "Unfortunately, DSP Manager has stopped" pops up. Video and audio cannot be played at all so apps like YouTube, alarm clocks, PVStar, and video-sharing websites would either crash or provide no video/audio output.
I can make calls but they result in a laggy black screen and there is no sound. I can only receive messages that calls have been missed.
I have tried flashing official stock ROM (I9505XXUEMK9) various times but they all resulted in failure. I have also flashed the modem for my device (XXUEMK9). I have tried out different custom ROM's but the problem persists.
Is this situation salvageable? I am willing to school myself on bootloaders and the such to solve this issue.
Help is much appreciated.

I would do a full wipe from Philz Touch CWM. Clean to install new ROM, and after that recover Your backup.
If it wont work, dirty reflash your Slimbean.
If it wont work, backup Your sdcard, install stock recovery or prerooted stock rom and wipe Your phone from there. If Odin wont work, try Mobile Odin.

Thank you for the response.
I have tried the first and second methods, yet the issues remain.
I am going to try the third one though it would be using a prerooted stock ROM of another variant as there are no XXUEMK9 prerooted stock ROM's.
EDIT: Third method didn't work for me either. It yields the same result as flashing the official stock ROM's.

I9505 No Sound, Cant Make Calls Or Receive

Hi.
I have a problem with my device.
Recently i try-d to flash miui v5 from:
miuiandroid_jfltexx_jb-3.9.13.zip md5sum: 7c097742b0f84b1ea5ab39acd5b56dc3
After i made wipe data, syste, preload flash failed, so i made another one and it succeeded.
After reboot i saw only greenish android logo which went nowhere.
So i tried third time with philz recovery and it booted up.
And then there was no sound at all.
Then i wiped data and flashed back stock firmware:
I9505XXUAMDM
After that no sound, no wifi and no calling.
Well then i tried older firmware-s.
And now i just tried latest cm10.2 21.09.2013
Well wifi started to work again, but no sound.
Tried calling, but app just freezes and i cant heare anything.
I am just wondering that how wifi just started working again?
Maybe sound and calling can be fixed somehow similar way.
Kristjan

got same problem yesterday after updating to latest omega... no sound at all, tried doing restore, tried again full wipe, tried changing kernels, after that tried different roms - no success, sound is lost somehow.
problem was resolved only after flashing through Odin 3.09 NEE firmware I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_I9505XXUBMGA_HOME.
Omega rom killed my sounds!

I will try one last time to install Omega v12 before I revert to stock that you mentioned....very disapointed...S4 is such a buggy crap bag
Still love omega rom and everyones effort tho...
OK sound is back after flashing thru odin 3.04 - I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_I9505XXUDMH8_HOME.tar.....but I am now going to try flashing omega v12 with cwm recovery instead of twrp and see if that makes any diff or just breaks again!
OK!!!! I flashed via odin - CWM recovery 6.0.3.2 and then flashed the omega v12 zip without wiping in CWM but allowing aroma to do the work for me. And I HAVE SOUND and CALLS and no crashes thus far...Hope this helps anyone out there.

[Q] No Sound after flashing a custom ROM, how to find out stock modem?

Well, I've made a huge mistake not backing up my phone immediately after rooting it and now I have to suffer the consequences for my dumb actions. I didn't think I'd run into much trouble, as I never have with either my Galaxy S3 or Desire HD before that and flashing countless roms.
Well, after rooting my phone with chainfire auto-root, I immediately flashed this rom and it was working fine, until I decided to flash my favorite Android Revolution HD rom.
Immediately after flashing it I received an error and ended up without Wi-Fi, or sound. There was a file posted called Wi-Fi fix, but it didn't work for me after flashing it, trying another modem did help with the WiFi (but still no sound) and it wont let me unlock my SIM.
I'm at a loss here, and not really sure what to do (other than trying to flash all of the modems available for 9505).
Tried flashing stock firmware through odin, but ended up with a failure to write.
If anyone could share some light on this matter, it would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, it happens a lot. On what rom are you excactly?
Can you try this?
1. Make sure you are on modem MJ5
2. Do a full wipe in recovery.
3. Flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2372286
According to that chef, you shouldn't need to flash any fixes after.
Or you can just try to flash this kernel. But i'm not sure on what rom you are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273437
I did flash that ROM, and the modem, but it ended up freezing as soon as I opened the phone app and I still had no sound, wifi was working though.
Ended up flashing I9505XXUDMHB_I9505PHNDMHB_I9505XXUDMHB_HOME.tar.md5 through odin and that seems to have fixed my problems, phew.
Same problem After flashing leneageOS,
Device Mi note 4, karnel 3.18.
Could anyone help ! Please..

No sound, and other issues.

After flashing a few roms I have noticed sound has stopped working, at first youtube videos wouldn't load up or start to play and on first device boot all gapps installed would be in notification bar with an error installing. This is on both cm 10.2 and even the original stock 4.3 touchwiz rom, have I broken my device for good?I never had this issue before when I went back to touchwiz, I have the android 4.3 with knox installed currently....Thanks
Similar Problem!
Hi, I'm having similar problems I have no sound at all coming from the device, I've read every thread that seas sound on the heading for I9505 and for many people flashing I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_I9505XXUDMH8_HOME.tar resolved the problem but not in my case.
Last night I tried flashing I9505XXUEMI8_I9505OXAEMI8_I9505XXUEMI8 and after I changed the kernel I got some sound when turning the volume up and down but the phone was running very slow.
Today I tried flashing Omega rom v15 flashing the right modem for the new bootloader before flashing the zip and no sound, I tried changing the kernel, still nothing.
So now I'm in build number XXUEMJ9 and baseband MJ5.
There has to be a solution for this as it is a software issue!!
PD: I can't get any signal either, WiFi is working though.

Rom selection help

I am currently on the f model and after the N910FXXU1DPH2_N910FOXA1DPH2_DBT my phone has come to an almost unusable state. Fc, random reboots, freezes during calls, black screens etc. Full factory reset and reinstalling didn't helped. I have root and tried some custom roms but i need some opinions. I want a MM based rom with full Spen and snote usage. I dont care nor use fingerprint, shealth, svoice, knox, android pay, note 7 or edge gimmics or ports. I just want a stable light and reliable rom to fully use the spen, make and receive calls, send texts, use social media and have full data and wifi connectivity and as less bloat as possible. A theme feature will be nice but not mandatory. Cheers and ty in advance!
The feeling I get from reading the various threads on these fora is that stock ROM remains to be the most stable of the lot. If you are having these problems with clean stock then could it be your setup or a hardware fault that is causing these issues?
If it is not a hw issue, then it could be that TWRP has been corrupted. Try downloading and reinstalling your recovery.
I am using nameless now and it looks pretty sweet. About the recovery when I first updated it reverted to stock recovery. I reseted to factory settings which caused me to loss root. And today when I tried to get to nameless I could not get twrp to install via flash via odin. It succeeded but it always booted to stock recovery. I had to root first and then install twrp through it's app from the play store. Anyway all seems pretty solid in nameless I will try it out for a few days.

Phone app crashing, no sound system-wide. Tried different ROMs and flashing Stock.

Hi all,
1. Whenever I make a call there is no ringing, no sound, and the app hangs up or crashes, call continues in the background and phone app opens again, this time with call screen rather than dialling screen, however this is unresponsive. The call then continues even after hanging up on the other end. Phone then reboots.
2. No sound on any apps. I've tried playing media stored on the device, using ringtone chooser, youtube gives a playback error and browser crashes as youtube website video is loaded. While on CM/LOS, "Audiofx has stopped" pops up on startup and on attempting playback through music app.
I ran into these problems after flashing Trader418's Official LineageOS. It may be a result of attempting to update modem to fix the common no-sim issue, which I ended up resolving with the simple libsec fix. I tried going back to Temasek's CM13 but the problem continued. After attempting various versions of both ROMs I resorted to flashing stock firmware (accidentally wiping all my data on SD card in the process (including 24GB of unbacked-up photos). To add to my dismay after that I found the phone and sound issues prevail.
Any help and/or advice would be greatly appreciated, I've proved my n00bness has stuck around even after 6 years of problem-less Android ROM flashing!
Cheers,

All these would indeed be useful pieces of information for anyone trying to help me!
SM-N9005 LTE N9005XXUENC2 (I don't know whether this was different before I messed around trying to fix No-Sim issue with Lineage.)
Anyone?
Bump bump bump! :silly:
