Hi folks! First off absolutely outstanding work on the ROMs going around in here. Your work has made my Inspire go from mild to wild BUT...
BACKGROUND: The issue I am experiencing I have done extensive work to try and diagnose down to a particular issue. All the testing done here was done between different ROMs and kernels and to ensure accuracy all data was wiped (boot,system,data, cache, dalvik,) and roms were installed exactly the way they were released with their packaged kernels intact.
ISSUE: I have great clear audio with the current ROM im using (Core 3.2, 26.05.05.27 M3 radio, leedroid 2.6.32.30 kernel 2.2.4) but dispite the excellent audio I swear that I can hear the input from the mic at the bottom reproducing sound in the ear peice. The best way i can describe it is to say the mic gain is WAY too high and that its pushing any sounds from the mic to the earpiece. Some callers report hearing an echo. I can with 100% certainty confirm that CM7 does not produce this issue and I also believe AR3.0 doesnt cause this issue either. For lack of a better exacmple, I would say it sounds like if you had two phones, called the other one and accepted the call and held both phones up to your ears allowing the sound to "loop back" into the earpiece from the mic.
P.S. I also know that when this issue is present I also notice an increased amount of background hissing noise. Very faint and completely within acceptable limits, I can just tell there is more of it.
Call me crazy but I just wanted to bring this up incase anyone else sees this.
Thank you all and please continue youre incredible work wiht the ROMs here
please post in the appropriate rom thread, not start a new one...thread closed.

I have searched high and low and if I missed the answer to this, you guys can feel free to flame away.
I frequently get the complaint that it sounds like I am in a club or something on my end during a call. After a little experimenting, I believe the phone is using the speakerphone mic during a regular call and I have no idea why. I can move the phone as far away as I can reach and the person on the other end says the volume of my voice doesnt change. It doesnt always do it but when it does, it seems to require a reset to stop it. Speakerphone isnt turned on and I am still hearing through the earpiece so I cant understand how in the world the phone wouldnt be utilizing the mouthpiece.
It did this with the stock ATT ROM and does it with NATF v4.4 too.
Is this a known issue? Is there a fix? Should I swap my phone? Thanks for the help guys.
im 99% sure there is no such thing as a speakerphone mic
If there is no speakerphone mic then how does the phone pick up sounds so differently during speakerphone mode? Ultimately, even if there isnt a dedicated mic for speakerphone, the phone is apparently utilizing the "speakerphone method" of picking up sound from my end so i guess consider my question rephrased.
How does using a headset effect the transmitted sound? Perhaps the built in mic is defective.
It seems stupid but I havent actually thought to try that yet. The next time it does this, which will probably be sometime today, I will give it a shot and see how it reacts.
I mean, does anyone know for sure if the speakerphone utilizes the mouthpiece as it's mic? The mic is clearly treated differently during a speakerphone call but I dont know for sure by what method.
This is a very frustrating issue.
Could this have something to do with the setting (in system tab) 'Microphone AGC'? ..I know it says it effects the microphone during recording, but could be worth a shot..
I just checked that setting and it is disabled so I guess AGC isnt the culprit.
I could have sworn I read about this happening somewhere else on these forums but I couldnt find it for the of me.
I see quite a few people in the forums complaining about the over sensitivity of the AT&T Fuze microphone but don't see any fixes for this. Is this a hardware issue and should the phone be returned for repair or is there a way to fix this with the AudioPara file. I have looked at the file and must admit I'm not tech savy enough to figure out what to edit. It's driving me nuts people always complain that they can hear a gnat fart if it's in the same room with me but can't hear me talking. Help please.
AT&T Fuze
Stock Rom 5.11.502.2 WWE
Audio light booster AudioPara3.csv
I think the audiopara file fixes this, I install it for the low volume issue, but I have not had any complaints.
I have a modified AudioPara file for increased speaker and earpeice volume but it doesn't help my microphone.
I know this thread is a little old, but I have searched on here and PPCGeeks for the last few hours and have not come across a fix for this, and didn't think starting a new thread to go with the many already out was the best idea. So, does anyone have a fix? AudioPara just works with the in-coming audio, I have not seen anything that works for the microphone sensitivity in calls. If I use a wired headset people can hear me just fine, they actually tell me I am a little loud at times. But if I unplug the headset they can't hear me unless I turn the phone and talk real loud directly into the mic, but then I can't hear them because the earpiece is not by my ear. This gets real annoying. I have had this issue on two heandsets now, the newest seems like it is even a little worse. Is it just a limit of the device, or have I been unlucky and gotten two with bad mics? Anyone?
Like the title might indicate I'm searching for a solution to the described problem.
Sometimes I like to take videos at shows and since switching to the new Nexus 5 the videos are basically useless since the audio is distorted as hell. I came from the i9000 and in CM / Voodoo Sound there was an option for recording audio in loud enviroment. Is there something similar for the Nexus 5, any Kernel solutions etc.? Any help is appreciated! :good:
there's no fix afaik
Problem is noise cancellation. Google have acknowledged the problem and are working on a fix, but it hasn't been released yet.
As a work around, you can try covering the noise cancellation microphone. You may have some success temporarily.

Thanks a lot for filling me in ... really haven't been up to date with the facts in a while ... really hope they can make it work. Audio performance on hte i9000 is still top notch.
I've got this really annoying issue that I keep somehow getting rid of, but it comes back on it's own.
Any sound that plays from the phone e.g. Ringtones, YouTube, Poweramp, etc...
The audio levels get clipped, like something is trying to adjust the gain of the sound, parts that should be loud are not loud, but instead clipped to a really low level.
I've disabled AudioFX, cleared the data for it, and disabled the audio settings within Poweramp.
I've tried to get an example of it with my camera, but of course it's not doing it when I pull out the camera, next time Poweramp does it, I'll record it.
If I receive a call it clips the ringtone sometimes, but I tried calling the phone a second time and it didn't clip.
Really don't know what's going on, just want the audio to work properly.
I'm on 33R, Unlocked Bootloader Rooted.
If anyone knows how to fix this, I'd be really happy.
Could anyone also recommend an app that's like Poweramp, but free? I like it, but it's not quite right.
Removed Poweramp and the problem appears to be gone.
Even though I had all the audio settings disabled in Poweramp?
Still having the issue...
I have no idea what to look for now.
I seem to be having the same issue occasionally. It doesn't bother me overly much though. I just don't think the internal speakers of of the highest quality but everything else on this device is superb
I do however believe at least some of the issue is caused by the fact the the speaker grill holes are quite small so when the volume is high a lot of air pressure is created in the speaker cavity which may attribute to the the problem.
It's purely software.
Happens with the volume at 50% as well.
I have this issue too. Thought it was my headphones so tried all my pairs and it happens on all of them. Its an issue the Nexus 5 has as well and it has to do with how the phone handles the signal from the towers from you're carrier. As to my knowledge there is no fix for it yet.

I switched to SlimKat ROM, haven't had the issue since my last post in this thread.

So are the working on a fix or how do we fix it? Because its annoying af.
Just wanted to report in again.
Still haven't had the audio clipping issue since switching to SlimKat.
The audio issue was really the only reason I had to even bother trying a ROM other than CM11S.
My experience with SlimKat on I9300 was a no-brainer to be the first ROM to try on my One.

Running PA 4.6 Beta and its horrible. I can't stream one song on Spotify with out it clipping through. May be downloading SlimKat tonight to give it a go.
I still get the clipping on Slimkat, battery life is great tho.
Which build? I'm on Stable 7.0
When I call someone, the ringing sounds kind of funny, but other than that, every other sound works perfect so far.
[Q] In-call mic & speaker dead on stock device, can only make calls with Bluetooth
Anyone else encountered this problem? It's NOT a volume issue, it's an 'in-call speaker and mic not working at all' issue. About two months ago my phone calls completely cut out all in-call sound, UNLESS I use a Bluetooth headset, in which case I can talk and hear just fine. When it first went out, I was able to use the mic and in-call speaker as long as I put it in speakerphone mode, but after a few weeks, that cut out, too. It will answer the call...I just can't communicate without BT engaged. Factory reset and other known "try this first" solutions have been dead-ends.
The OTA to KitKat didn't change or help anything in regard to this problem, and the same problem persists in the same fashion. I am currently still stock...after modding my M7 on TMO repeatedly, when I switched to Verizon and got an M8, I resolved to stick with stock and try to appreciate getting the OTAs before the other carriers. All well and good--until your in-call sounds bugs out and renders your device useless as a phone unless you put your BT earpiece in first.
I'm curious if this is a widely known problem, as I couldn't find evidence of it being common, but wasn't sure if I was just looking in the wrong place or using the wrong search terms. If so, is there a decent fix, or did VZ just sell me a lemon? If there's not a decent solution, would Factory Reset, unlock, and flashing TWRP and a good aftermarket ROM, say CM, cause this problem to be fixed?
Just figured I'd ask the hive before I dig into it myself and end up pissing away the rest of my weekend on it. Cheers and thanks!
