Hello !
I am really happy with the LineageOS for the S5e but i have one big fail.
If i try to use Teams, Zoom or Skype the volume is very very loud an only on the lowest volume step acceptable. The mic is so low, that the other person can not hear me.
I have four S5e. Two with Lineage (720/725) and two with the original Samsung ROM. On original ROM we do not have the problems.
We also use this meeting clients on other devices like Sonys XA2 with LineageOS 18 and we have no problems, too.
Is it possible to fix this issue on S5e ?

Hi,
I have two questions concerning the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus and would be very happy about any answers.
I bought the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus a few days ago and got it delivered from Amazon. After a few days I noticed there is a white noise / hissing coming from the speaker in some recording (most prominently, voice recordings) if the volume is set very low.
Through my researches, I came across the LineageOS ROM and found a note in this post which seems to adress exactly the probem I experience.
Now my two questions are:
1. Is this a problem with all devices or just some? From the existence of a software fix, I would conclude all. This is important to me, because then there is no point at all in sending it back to Amazon for a new device. I still have some doubts due to the fact that a lenovo supporter told me via telephone that it must be a single case however contradicting many voices on the internet and the existence of the previous linked note in the patch notes (and he didn't seemed that convincing to me).
2. Is the problem completely, 100% fixed with this ROM in all devices?
Thank you very much in advance.
Hi, I can't say for Lineage 'cause I haven't installed it yet, but this is a well known issue among users of the Yoga Tab 3 Plus (myself included). Don't bother trying to change your tablet.
I am pretty convinced this is a software issue and am hoping it is fixed in Lineage.

I have this issue too. I just learned to live with it, however, if you turn off Dolby Atmos, the noise is reduced.
As far as I can tell, it's the Atmos processing boosting the audio signal. Like @jonboi mentioned, turn it off (or you can also tweak the peaks in the equalizer, if you want to leave it on).
I had the same hissing noise...after some tinkering I discovered that it is coming from the DOLBY ATMOS app. I would only hear the noise when I had Dolby turned On And it would immediately STOP when I turned it off.
Actually I found the SPECIFIC SOURCE.
In the Dolby Atmos settings there is a switch for "volume leveler"... For some reason having this ON causes a tremendous amount of HISS.... Turn it OFF and the hissing disappears!
I would like to preface this by saying I love all the Custom ROM's available, especially the Android 10 ones. But, I've noticed one problem shared by all the ROM's I've tested so far (almost all). It's that the mic quality is simply horrible on every single one of them. The first thing I do when I download a Custom ROM is to test the mic using the Google Recorder app and so far, no custom ROM has even come close the loudness and quality of stock. I wouldn't mind if the mic quality was bad, but that's not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that the mic VOLUME is extremely low. I have to shout while calling just so the other person can hear me. How do I fix this problem? The same problem cropped up a lot on Pie ROM's too. I've tried editing the mixer_paths.xml but I don't really know where to look.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone could help me. Cheers.

Use kernel with mic gain and increase it to your liking.
Hello guys and gals
I've been trying a lot of custom ROMs for our beloved 9T, and as is usual they all have their little bugs and quirks, some more some less.
However, one problem I noticed affects ALL custom roms for our device (well, the ones I tried at least) is that the microphone audio from any wired (3.5mm jack) headset has a VERY LOW VOLUME. Whenever I record a voice note in Whatsapp or any other app, or when I have a meeting with Google Meet, or even just recording my voice with a Voice Recorder app, it's extremely quiet, unless I talk right into the mic.
This was not the case on MIUI, so it's clearly a custom ROM issue. I wanted to know a couple of things:
1) I'm not crazy right, external mics DO have low volume on custom ROMs, yes? Or is this some issue specific to my device?
2) Any workarounds/solutions you can suggest?
By scouring the forums and searching on google, I think the problem is some misconfiguration in the /vendor/etc/mixer_paths_idp.xml file, however I have no clue which values to modify, since from what I read the values you should change are different depending on the device.
Any help or suggestion on this matter would be appreciated.
The subject should say it all. I have two PH-1s which are in remarkable condition for their ages, but need a ROM that works well with WhatsApp and Telegram calls using the speaker.
Lineageos 18 seems to have this issue, and working through other threads, I can't identify a ROM that has it fixed. Thank you.

This is partially fixed on DivestOS, as mata is my personal daily driver.
The situation is:
- phone call audio is garbled until you toggle speaker for the first call after booting
- loud speaker volume cannot be adjusted
- microphone however works
I've spent many hours trying to narrow down this issue to no avail. It is a sad bug, because otherwise this is largely a great device.
Here is the upstream issue report:

Seems no derived from PHHussons' GSI ROMs, like Corvus, Octavi, DotOS have such issues. Actually the first too are nearly OEM quality.
This ROM seems to have fixed most issues that I faced in the past, including the mic bug. Unofficial LineageOS 18.1
Since there is no objective way to measure speaker sound quality, I cannot tell for sure but, it kin of feels that the speaker quality is worse with the official LineageOS ROM when compared to the official Samsung ROM. I have turned off the equaliser and the Dolby Atmos in the settings.
Does anyone else who use LineageOS ROM feel the same thing, or am I wrong?
Yes. But recent version has improved it. Still not bassy and rich sounding tho.

That's a shame. Does speakers need a proprietary driver? I wonder what is causing this.
After installing the latest (September) update, I could not feel any sound improvement. So, I reverted the tablet to the stock ROM today. After the initial setup is done, I immediately played the same song that I had played on LineageOS, and yes, it sounded much better.
I had installed LineageOS because it was version 12.1 (12 enhanced for tablet, as far as I know) and Samsung stopped the official ROM at 11. But frankly, I could not find any useful tablet features in 12.1. I at least expected a volume slider (like the one on iPad), but no. The only thing that was remotely useful was double-tap status bar to turn the screen off, but that was LineageOS's feature, not Android 12.1's. Android 11 is still very useable, so I guess I am just going to use the stock ROM. I use tablets mostly for media consumption so bad speaker sound was just not bearable.
Let this be warning to future people who want to install LineageOS. Do not install it unless you don't use internal speakers.
While I never used stock ROM, I noticed some speaker peculiarities while watching youtubes (on NewPipe). I tried to set my volume at a considerate level, not blaring which could annoy others nearby but loud enough to hear. When a speaker started talking in a low voice it inexplicably became completely inaudible. I could not understand what they were saying at all. Then it would get normal or too loud when the speaker spoke up. I had to turn the volume at annoying and unacceptable levels just to hear what was being said.
I tested the videos on another device with the same version of NewPipe and it was not an issue.
DOes anyone with cRdroid rom have this issue? I don't use it much for videos/audio so I don't care too much but reading this thread it seems to be an issue
If you want equalizer you need
PowerAmp Equalizer
It does all multimedia apps but games not yet.

A bit off topic, but I don't think Google has implemented anything particularly useful in Android in a few major versions.

I have been using crDroid 8.10 and I do notice the volume fluctuates, someone in a post said he thought it was magisk 25. I'm not sure yet I'm still looking into it.
