Hi, I tried the kernel 3.4 on my nexus 7, but after I installed it my speaker starts to play audio really bad, now is noisy ,scratchy and pretty low. So I tought was rom/kernel related, and back to 3.0 kernel, but no way to get it working good again. So I changed the speaker with a new one, and the audio isn't anymore scratchy, but is really low when compared to his previous stage, I cannot use in a room with peaple simply talking for example, forcing me to use a bluetooth speaker, or headphone. What happened to my nexus 7? I changed many roms, but doesn't seem to be fixable by sw, what can I do? now I'm on slimkat + parrot mod, which works flawlessy.
thank you

Hey guys, need some help here
I'm with CM7 and the latest nightly. This is a great rom and it worked just fine for weeks.
Yesterday I opened the FM radio app and tried to listen for some music (i didn't use the app before). I connected the samsung's earphones and then I pushed on the speaker icon to test if I can hear radio from the galaxy's speaker. The only thing I heared was a white noise just like on a real radio when there is no FM signal. so I disconnected the earphones and pushed on the volume up button and heard a wierd sound.
Then tried to play some music but the sound was terrible.
Then tried to reset, but still the sound was so damn awful.
After that I tried different CM7 kernel but still no good. at some point the speaker has stopped working. Tried to swich to froyo, but still no speaker. tried to reinstall CM7, MIUI, original JVQ (with voodoo sound) but nothing helped...
I think my speaker is doomed
please help!
any idea?
btw, the earphone is working ok and the internal phone speaker is ok as well so i can make calls...
anyone?
maybe someone with similar problem?
Hi
Just flashed coldfusionx 4.0.4 latest version.
Everything is fine except really bad sound through the headset when playing any audio!
Sounds like extremely high virtual surround sound or listening far away in a well!
I tried adjusting dsp manager, settings etc.
Still the same. This makes everything unlistenable!
How do I fix this
Update:
If I push the headphone jack all the way in, the sound is weird
however if I hold it halfway through the sound is coming perfectly though only through one of the phones.
Anyone?

Not the ROM problem. Probably a loose connection at the phone or the earphones end
Definitely something to do with the rom.
Tried with 2 different headsets....also flashed CM7 instead and the headset sound is fine!
Flashed again with coldfusionx cm9 and same problem again.
I found on my Blade that only one type of earphone connector will work fine, if the connector is plugged in fully.
There are two types of earphone connectors in case there is a mic present:

For my blade only "Apple Style" worked fine, else sound quality is very bad. Also all earphones withour mic work fine.
Maybe there is also some rom rependency, I dont know, i use SS.
When I am on the phone, I can hardly hear the person on the other end that I am talking to and they usually complain about not being able to hear me. This usually ends up in me having to put the phone on speaker phone, but then they have a even hard time trying to hear me...this is really frustrating. I have the volume turned up to the max in both situations.
I am running PA 3.15 and Franco's latest nightly if that makes a difference. I also use Audio mod ( believe its called LOUDER or something, it's one of the popular ones on this forum) but I believe that only has to do with headphones, bluetooth connected devices, and the speaker for playing music. My ringtones are extremely loud, playing music on it is just fine, but in call audio sucks bad.
Anyone else experience similar issues or know of a fix?

I get bad in call quolity with aosp or aokp ROMs, have not tried PA, but when i use CM based ROM , in call is perfect.
I use Carbon, nighlies every day
Make a back up and flash latest nightly and test
So the problem is that no matter what custom ROM I use the mic volume is incredibly low. Talking on the phone I cannot be heard at all, if I put it on loudspeaker I can be heard faintly. Same problem for any app that uses the microphone, like sound recorder, recording a video, it barely picks up any sound.
But what's strange is that everything works perfectly on on Stock. I've installed custom ROMs on this before and last used cm10 before I upgraded way back. But now the problem also exists on that CM10 ROM. Any ideas how to fix it?
Additionally I've tried disabling the google now search listening (which fixed the same problem on my OPO) but does not work here. I've tried the following ROMs: CM10, CM11, CM12 all official nightlies and Crdroid 5.1.1.
Very frustrating as otherwise CM12 works perfectly and I intend to give this phone to someone!
So testing it further I found out that it works fine using google now and search. So either the internal microphone is disabled or maybe noise cancelling is messed up.
I have the Sony MDR-XB950N1 and they sound awesome on an iphone and ipad. But they sound like crap on my android device. I've tried both NucleaROM 7.2.1 and Bliss 6.4, and the sound is too low on both ROMs. Kernel Auditor's sound setting doesn't help at all. I would like to stay away from Viper4Android. I don't need to enhance the sound. I need to be able to adjust the gain or amplify the sound.
I don't get android at all as this has happened to some Bluetooth headphone I've used in the past. But for a USD$300.00 pair otf over-the-ear headphones, this should not happen! It sounds like a pair of headphones you buy at your local 7-eleven. Maybe I should go back to the official firmware?
Interestingly.. i installed CM13 6.01 (Dec 2016) and BT volume is 100x better than the ROMs I mentioned above. This is without the kernel auditor sound mod. I DON'T GET IT.. But at least my earlobes, eardrums, and headphone are vibrating at max volume again. I still would like a solution for Nougat ROM.

You can have a look at here https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/themes-apps/apps-to-gain-microphone-volume-t3450390 it's not only for microphone problems
Yea enabling volume level works great with my daily driver, NulceaROM 7.1.x. Thanks for the heads up! Its on par with CM13 and iDevices. I'm not convinced that this issue only happens to our device. I used to have a MI phone and BT volume with nougat was abysmal also.
