My HTC Touch Pro seems to have a bad quality loudspeaker - It sounds quiet and distorted. I tried a new "AudioPara" file, which made it a bit louder, but it still sounds a bit distorted. The normal earpiece you use for phone calls is perfectly fine, I'm just having issues with the loudspeaker. Any ideas?
Is it like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446668 ?
If so, I'm with you.
Sorry if this is in the wrong section but dont know where to post this, as my phone is as of yet not really been devloped by anyone except that it has been rooted. theres no roms for it yet.
Its an alcatel one touch 983, which is an entry level android phone but with fairly decent specs. As it has a 1ghz broadcom processor and 512mb ram.
anyway , I have a brilliant app which i have paid for called Audiotool. which is a fully featured Real Time Anyliser for audio use. all anyliser functions work as expected.
The problem happens when using the headphone jack to output to speakers. The software has a generator utility used to generate pure tones, white noise, pink noise and even has a polarity checker. Which is really handy for working with Venue sound systems.
Obviously once you plug in a headphone jack it switches to headset mode and cuts of the phone mic. Audio output is still fine and you get the full range. But when you use the program to swtich to front mic to get the mic working again, all bass is lost. Which makes some of the functionality of the app useless, like polarity checking of bass speakers or low frequencie response.
Ive already contacted the developer and he confirms that his app does not apply any filters to audio out and that sound from the app should be exactly the same between using headset mic and phone mic, so it must be the phone that is applying a roll of filter. But unfortunatly as he doesnt have my model of phone to test on cant fix.
Anyway this seems to make sense as rolling of frequencies that the phone speaker cant really produce would be there to protect it, but it shouldnt be doing that while headphones are still plugged in. The headset icon is still on even when using the phone mic but bass frequencies coming from the headphone jack on the phone are definatly being rolled of. If i go mack to main mic bass frequences return but mic doesnt work.
Im wondering if this is a bug in the OS on how it functions to switch between headset mic and phone mic or if theres some kind of solution to stop it from doing that.
Im running a stock rom 2.3 android.
Not sure if there is a free version incase anyone wants to test it on there phone.
no ideas how to stop this odd behaviour?
Hi all! I'm sorry if this place is not the right one for this question... I have the Redmi Note 4 X and at the moment everything is perfect with the stable Global ROM 8.2.2.0, but there is something problem when I am calling using the earphones( inside the ear and the microphone inserted in the cable) but I have not any problem with the big headphones and through speakers, only earphones, is strange. The sound of my interlocutor is not clean, I hear him well, but around his voice there are static sounds, I would not know how to explain it, like whistles, clicks, hisses, echo hissing, sounds like frying ...definitely it's not clean. When I listen to music it is barely perceptible because I imagine that the music hides those bugs and hisses, when there is less sound, you can hear these bugs more. It seems that only happens with earphones ( not in the big headphones). I have to say that I have obviously tried up to 4 different earphones and official earphones Xiaomi with the same result. My previous Redmi Note 1 4G, with the same earphones, it does not, I have not any problem. I also do not know if it does in other models of Xiaomi and the truth that is annoying, especially accustomed to the clean sound of my previous Xiaomi.
Any idea what it could be? Hardware Theme? Maybe software? Any help or comments from someone who happens the same will be appreciated.
Thank you and greetings.
Anyone else is struggling with SUPER LOW headphones volume? Before OP6 I had HTC One M8 which was LITERALLY 3 times louder. I am using SoundMagic E10c(cable, jack) and I am wondering if similiar problem exists for BT headphones. Need some way to have music with decent volume, since I am listening to music basically all the time.
Any way to fix this?
That's true. I hope that there will be a Sound mod in the future

The same problem doesn't exists in case of BT headphones for sure... Its just bad with wired one's, really underwhelming! Waiting for some good audio mod to maybe help fix that issue if possible.

My earphone volume is fine. Using non standard music player/ equaliser and good bearphones
I don't know why people say it's quiet on headphones I've 3.5 jack. I use bullets V2 from OnePlus and the volume and quality are fine.

I haven't noticed a difference in the sound over my LG HBS850 (Bluetooth), and I haven't tried my 3.5mm cable headphones yet.
I have OP6. After reading the complaints here checked with different brands of earphones. The sound is really loud and clear. Even at medium levels I have sufficient loudness. Equalizer too works well. I checked the earphone audio in Player Pro music player, Saavan streaming music and YouTube. I am very much happy with what I hear in terms of loudness and fidelity. I don't think the mentioned complaint is true universally.

I experienced the volume loss as well. When using the phone in my car I have to adjust the radio by almost 10 ticks (from volume 18-20 to up to 30 now).
Yesterday in my car with the oneplus 3 no problems, but the 6 has some very low volume settings. It's kinda frustrating at this point, the volume sucks and the quality doesn't match up to what the oneplus 3 could produce. I think it has something to do with the equalizer that oneplus 6 now offers. This morning while trying to adjust the settings I've downloaded the snapdragon equalizer on top of the baked in equalizer and that seems to kinda do the trick (boosts the volume by a bit).
Oh boy, same here. Using a pair of M50x's, they don't need much power to get going but I've noticed it's not as loud as my 3. I have a fiio K1 amp but didn't work on the 3, figured it might! work on the 6 but nope! so I guess I'm stuck using a amp with the headphone jack.
Oneplus really needs to improve their audio output power, that's for sure.
So I just noticed something. Music is actually fine and loud ONLY when i am choosing ringtone. Spotify/Google Play/VLC etc. all is silent, even after installing Viper4Android it's still to silent.
I agree, the volume of the headphone jack is very low and the overall sound quality is bad. My HTC one A9 is brilliant when using audio files from the jack. It's loud and clean but the OP6 is too low and very bad sounding. Not for audiophiles. I tried with Viper and it's the same.
I felt low volume intially , but after 5.1.8 update I think the volume is good. (May be its just my feel ?)
I tried with ATH M50x and samsung stock earphone.
With the filo e7K the sound quality is good enough ...

I have cheapo ear buds with 16 ohm impedance, just like yours. Anything above 80% volume is uncomfortably loud. Perhaps your unit is defective?
chiming in, no issue here, brand new, white OP6... I'm smitten
for me volume too low even with viper4android
Massively loud with black player, amp and good bass earphones, even the speaker is much louder than my HTC 10
Give ElementalX kernel a try, I've flashed it and boosted my amp output. It helps! with viper4android I don't really need an external amp anymore. But.. it's still better

Same here until i have changed the headphones value (Rx1 and Rx2 mix digital volume) on the "mixer path tavil.xml" file located here : Root/vendor/etc
90 is perfect and you will see a huge difference ! Try and let me know. If you prefere i Can also send you my customised file ?
Don't what y'all talking about, the sound over the headphone jack is so loud to the point I set it only at 60-70%... And the quality is great too, Had a nexus 6p and LG G5 before this one.. but i tried a lot of phones
This one is really loud with great quality overall

Probably because you're leaving outside Europe and not aware of the EU Volume limitation...
Using AirPod Pros with the OP6 has, at least in my case, been frustrating because of very low volume. Indoors, it's OK, but when I'm outside, it's a struggle to hear what I'm listening to at times. ElementalX kernel allows me to boost volume for the speaker and a plugin earphone, but it doesn't do anything for Bluetooth. V4A helps a little, but not enough, even with playback gain control and the equalizer jacked up.
One solution is to go back to my corded earphones. The above items work great there.
Any ideas for increasing volume with bluetooth earbuds?
