Hi, just both Xperia x 10 mini for my wife, and totally upset.
Nobody (including me) can normally speak with my wife , because of awful sound quality: seems like microphone has very high fidelity level, sound is overamplified, permanent distortions, noises, echoes and so on, especially in high frequencies range. Originally came with 2.0.А.0.504 firmware, updated with PC- companion to 2.1.1.C.0.0 -> no changes, problem persists. Was by “service”, after 3days check, they told me , that diagnostic did not found any problem with mic ->no changes, problem persists. My try to stick mic hole with sticky tape brought only “barrel” effect to already existing distortions, no effect.
I am almost losing the Hope
The question:
Is there any way to adjust mic? (Secret menu, Custom rom, App (level control, equalizer) that controls mic permanent? ) Another tips are also welcome.
Thanks in advance.
hi
im sure this topic has been brought up before. but searching i see that we dont have access to EQ the incall quality .
all apps i have come across like Volume plus etc..only affect headset output. and not the phone call speaker .. in the new Samsung Galaxy S3 there is now an option to eq the incall audio. is there anything option like this for Gingerbread? or coming in the near future in ICS or Jellybean?
thank you
Questions should be asked in Q&A forums, not Development forums.
Thread moved.
I bought my Galaxy S3 (UK version) when they first came out, but recently had to have the motherboard replaced under warranty due to the phone suffering from Sudden Death.
Before the repair, the audio output via my earbud headset was perfect, but now I'm getting a persistent and annoying low-level background hiss. This is not affected in the slightest by the volume control - even at the lowest volume setting the hiss is still present at the same level. It lasts for about 4 seconds after audio playback has finished, and then stops with a slight click/pop as the audio circuit shuts down.
You can also hear it from the rear-panel speaker if you put it close to your ear and perform any action which causes a noise to be generated - e.g. keypress clicks or the notification tones when you press the volume rocker (just make sure volume is set low first though, as that speaker can be loud when you've got your ear up against it!)
I've done some checking and it's definitely hardware related - nandroid restoring my old ROM doesn't make any difference. It is really annoying when I'm listening to music at night in bed, usually at the lowest volume setting, as the hiss is much more noticeable without other ambient noises to drown it out.
There were a number of reports of similar issues last year but not everyone seemed to be affected, and the threads all seem to have dried up now. I'm wondering how many 'original' S3 users have this problem, versus more recent purchasers? I've added a poll, just to see how widespread this issue is - please treat any phone where the motherboard has been replaced for Sudden Death issues as a 'recent' phone.
And how do I go about getting it fixed if the current motherboards all seem to have the same fault? Is there any low-level firmware setting to reduce the physical gain of the internal audio amp circuit, as it does seem to be happening in the final stages of audio output rather than in the software-controlled stuff? I'm not worried about losing the top end of the volume range, I use bluetooth for more amplified playback anyway.

Background hiss / noise no and thats from one of the very first SGS3 .
But a fair number of the sound mods do add noise .

That has been well posted up on XDA hiss + pop click on shutdown as you said long time ago .|Not seen any user posting really since those threads died . Most are just looking for more loud or more boom boom .
A number of kernels now have sound adaptations .

Yeah, I first put it down to some sort of audio mod in the ROM that I had installed, so I nandroided back to the vanilla JB that was in the phone when I picked it back up from repair, and even back to my older ICS stock ROM (which had no audio mods at all) and they were all exactly the same.
Sound tweaks are all going to effect the source sound digitally, before it hits the analogue amp stage, and I suspect it's the final analogue stage which is generating the interference.
I don't care for lots of volume or boom boom (and anyway, I have amplifiers or car audio for that) but I do want my original lovely hissless audio quality back...

Do you still get the hissing with a good sound enhancing kernel (such as boeffla)? If you do, sounds like you have a hardware problem

Ah, I didn't know some kernels were better than others for noise reduction. Although I'm not so interested in 'enhancing' per se, more reducing! But the problem I'm getting is not effected by the volume controls at all, the hiss remains constant whatever any of the level sliders are set to, just as long as the audio circuits are enabled.
The ROM I'm currently running is Omega AOKP v7.0, which is based on AOKP JB 4.2.2 milestone-1 and stock kernel. Is there a suitable kernel compatible with that which might help me does anyone know? (boeffla isn't as far as I can tell)

Click to collapse
My SGS3 is about 9 months old, and I have this too. However, in my case the background hiss is at an extremely low level - to all practical intents it's inaudible. Certainly not enough to be annoying, even in the quietest of environments.
Hi all
I'm trying to change the in/out call volume levels for speaker, earphones and mic on my xiaomi mi2s running CM11.I know that i have to change settings in "snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3" file but i can't figure out which ones, e.g for speaker i found a section device called "speaker" but which is the right setting RX3 RX4 or both??I've found few info here and there for various devices but there are some differences, so i would be grateful if someone could help with my questions, which are:
1)For everything related to speaker or earphone volume i must change the RX digital volumes?A specific one or all like RX3 RX4 etc. ?
2)For mic volume i should edit DEC volume values under mic related Tx devices?
3)How do i disable second mic for noise cancelation?
Also if anyone knows what all these RXs TXs and DECs represent pls share your knowledge.A lot people dealing with this problem on various devices but there isn't much info around.
Thanks for your time.
Anyone...?
So I've been playing around with the phone for a few days and come to one conclusion.
The phone speakers are not great. Average at best.
More specifically, the top phone speaker is so terrible it is drowning out the decent quality sound of the bottom speaker.
I'd much rather just use the bottom speaker and forget about the top altogether.
Does anyone know of a way to either disable the top speaker for media sounds, or an app that lets you independently control the left/right speaker volumes so I can just turn the dam thing off?
The bottom speaker is very decent and the distortion from the top speaker when playing at louder volumes is very annoyingly bad !!
Disable stereo+ function under sound settings
I already did this, and my problem was not solved
