Hello xda,
I hope someone can help me with this problem. I am creating this thread in the QA forum since I do not have 10 posts yet (this will be my 10th) to post in the ROM thread.
General information first:
Device: LG G2 D802
ROM name: crDroid (12th dec build)
Build number: mmb29M
kernel version: [email protected]
Description of my problem:
Recording sound with built-in microphone and microphone of my In-Ears give me an extreme low and distorted type of sound.
To make clear what I mean, I recorded a few seconds to show you: http://www29.zippyshare.com/v/iq9bYg7s/file.html
(You will probably not understand a single word without headphones lol)
@sys01 had the same problem but @firebird11 needed more users with the same problem.
Installed mods (which could possibly be a problem?): Viper4Android
EDIT: I just noticed that recording videos gives normal sound, but using apps like WhatsApp or the VoiceRecorder gives distorted sound.
Anyone got an idea to what leads to that problem?

Darkawake... Did you find a fix for the low mic volume issue?
I have a D801 with the same issue. I have to speak loud when calling someone.
As for speaker volume, I found 2 fixes for that. But nothing to fix the Low Mic issue.

Unfortunately not
I tried another kernel and Kernel Adiutor, nothing helps.
In the next step I will try another CM13 rom and hope it will fix it.

Did you try going to...
system>etc>mixer_paths
Scroll to rx7 and increase the number.
You should not go above 90.

If I understand the values correctly, these are for speaker volumes?
My speaker volumes are ok, just the mic does not want to work with external apps.

I slightly increased rx1 thru rx6 and my mic issue is solved. I cannot say exactly which one it was, but it worked. That's all I know.
---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------
I changed mixer_paths AND slightly increased volume in Kernel Auditor. I used both methods.

I don't notice any changes after editing mixer_paths to be honest. Kernel Auditor makes it slightly better but if you listened to my sample you know that slightly is not enough haha
Could you provide me your mixer_paths.xml if you don't mind? Maybe I edited something else lol
OK. Attached

Hey, My speaker volumes is quite low on CM13 with LG G2 VS980. It is not same as the volume that was in stock based custom rom.
Could you please tell me the way to increase volume?
Thanks

I posted this question in two other forums and still haven't gotten a response in almost a full day.
Anytime I make or recieve a phone call on my Mogul it's almost required that I speak in a loud tone so that my voice will reach the microphone on the bottom of the phone and so that other may hear me.
I'm wondering if others expirence this same issue, if its the phone or what?
For what it's worth, I haven't noticed any problems with my microphone. I am able to speak at a normal volume and be heard.
(Not sure if you were only looking for responses from people who ARE having the problem...?)
No problems here either. I just added a new Audiopara file to increase the ear piece speaker volume.

Ohh my bad. I didn't download it. I actually used no2chem's tool to change my audio para to my likings.
Here is the link to his tool : http://www.weienterprises.com/nue/nueaudio.html
Privax, I've had a few units swapped out due to warranty issues and noticed a variation in the build quality on the microphone. People could hear me better depending on the phone build quality.
Were I you, I'd contact my phone provider pronto for a replacement.
I have seen this many times but cannot find a .zip anywhere with just this mod. I am looking for a loudness mod to increase the volume of the media speaker. Any help would be appreciated. I just got my Epic 4G today and I'm jumping right in. Thanks in advance
I want one too! Can barely hear my recorded audio when driving.
Still looking around for this. Any ideas?
Shameless bump, Still looking Maybe someone who applied a volume mod to their rom can zip up just that one mod and post it? Would be awesome
I'm not sure there is an external speaker volume mod, but there is VooDoo. Simply flash a kernel that has voodoo mods included. (Genocide, Visionkernel, twilight zone kernel).

I bet what you saw is the loudness mod in qpst. It might have been in cmda workshop, but I'm pretty sure that there was a spot in qpst that you can set speaker loudness for the ring, speaker, and something else. I don't recall it working, but the placebo effect is of great value to those that benefit from it.
I flashed twilight zone kernel and overclocked my cpu while I was at it. Voltage control wouldn't load though, for some reason, so I had to use a different app to set it to 1.3 Ghz, and it said the frequency was adjusted automatically, so I'll see if thats true or not.
Sorry for the ignorance but how do you tell if the voodoo sound driver is actually installed? I can't find mention of it anywhere in the phone UI.
Edit: haha, Guess I missed the memo about downloading voodoo control. I got it running fine now
I'm posting this in General because I'm not the author, I just found it and it worked for me.
Many of us have an issue with the N7000 where audio at a very low volume is cut to silence. This can irritatingly interrupt quiet music or videos; anyone who has watched the Walking Dead on Netflix with headphones on has probably noticed it. I have observed this behavior across all ROMs I've used since 4.0. Near as I can tell, this appears to be an intended feature to reduce hiss or other unwanted noise from the audio hardware, but it's a little too zealous. The workaround is to force this mechanism not to activate by constantly putting a loud enough sound through the system; a sound we can't hear.
Method 1
An apk someone made and posted to a google board that has worked around the issue for me.
This works even better if you have a method to make sure the service starts on phone boot.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35861#c77
Please thank the person who made the apk if it helps you.
Method 2
XDA user Djezpur came up with another fix that works as well or better that the one above.
In Tasker, I just created a profile to play the file on loop whenever headphones are plugged in and screen is on.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35047527&postcount=25
Please thank Djezpur in their post if this method works for you.
Thanks for this answer.
There is a patch that fixes the problem for my N7000 with OmniROM:
github.com gustavoss android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412 commit 3019675d57c4046c30f82d04ce41913150df0d6e
(Sorry for the distorted link, as a new user I am not allowed to post links yet...)
The question is: How to get it into CM, OmniROM, and co.?
Also see:
jira.omnirom.org browse OMNI-561 ("Sound cuts off at low volume playback".
Kind regards
Clackwell
This is great. Thanks!

PS: It has been tweaked in OmniROM.
I'm running the latest CM10.2 Nightly of the MicroSD on my Nook Color. I'm really liking it over CM9(what I had before) but I've run into one major issue, Headphone Volume. I opened up DSP Manager and and cranked the equalizer up in the Speaker category and my speaker got nice and loud, but when I try to do the same for the headphones nothing works. Changing the Headset category's equalizer has zero effect on anything, and changing the other categories didn't help either. I can't apply any audio affects to the headphone jack. I found this thread on the CM forums, but couldn't find any of the mentioned files or directories. I suspect things have been changed and moved around in Android 4.3. The only volume boosting method I've found that works is by playing the video/audio file in MX Player and use it to boost the volume, but that only helps marginally and is zero help in any other app.
Is there any way I can get this to work?
There is a thread over at http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/73393-low-headphone-volume-using-nightlies/ about your issue.
I couldn't get mine to work because I did not find the file mentioned in the post.

I already linked to that thread in my post and said that it didn't contain any answers for CM10.2. All the files mentioned in it don't exist in the latest 10.2 nightlies.

I'm running 10.2.1 stable on nook color and have the same problem but it also affects my internal speaker too. Only thing I've found that works is Volume+ 2.0. I had same problem with CM7 and their original version was the only fix that worked on that as well.
I really don't understand why we're not given direct access to set the max volume settings since this is a problem for some users in EVERY version of android. I get why but it should be available in the hidden dev settings with a warning that you can blow your speakers/headset up if not careful.
Anyway...you can get VolumePlus v2.0 from their website free. androidaudiohacks.com (first post, can't post links) Its a beta version and I've seen some bugs but it works to fix low volume on my NC running CM10.2.1. I know his original vol+ is in the app store but I'm not sure about v2. You need v2 for jellybean.
Just so you're aware, sometimes the boost and or EQ switches don't stay in the on position but they still seem to be working fine. Also the speaker boost settings seem to work on both my speaker and headset. So if you just try setting the HS settings and nothing happens try the speaker settings. Hope this helps some.

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the info. I had known about Volume+ but ignored it in this case because last I checked they couldn't get it working past Android 4.1. I'll try it later. Thanks for the help.
Tested only on cm11 nightlies and fxp builds. For stock rom, it must be tested (i don't use it !). Works also on Z1 device.
There was some errors on stereo speaker and mic recorder ! now fixed (There is no stereo speaker on Z1 C or Z1 device)
Some values increased : speaker, mic => 90 / call samplerate => 16000
Video Recorder very smooth => 60 fps
If you don't like it, just delete it ! (Always make a backup before)
May i ask what kind of error that was? I'm on CM11 nightly (Z1C) too and my mic level in calls (especially on speakerphone) got very low for some reason. almost to the point where the other end wasn't able to understand anything. I have yet to test if it might have been fixed already or if it is a hw-fault on my device. From the changelogs I can't see anything related.
Also: is this a fix that is about to be merged into the nightlies?
Thanks so far,
Greetz, Unr3aL67
