Distorted ringtone - T-Mobile LG G2x

I just recently noticed that my g2x plays songs perfectly through the music player without any distortion but if i apply a mp3 as a ringtone it becomes distorted when i receive calls. i know its not just the file because i have tried multiple songs. anyone else have this problem? any help is appreciated thanks!

I've noticed the same thing. In fact, I have to lower the volume of my ringtone below maximum, or it is weird sounding. But when I play the same mp3 through Music player, I can be full volume without any distortion.

Anyone know of a fix?

i have the same issue as well... if you're using cm7 there is dsp manager so you might want to play around with the settings. I haven't been able to yet, but you might give that a shot.
just fyi i have this problem on both stock and cm7

Same problem here. It almost sounds like the woofer is blown or something. My 10 year old Nokia has better speakers than my G2X.

And it doesn't seem to be a function of whether the speaker sucks or not...because when you play the same mp3 file through any media player, it sounds fine. But when a call is coming in at the same time that the mp3 is being played, it's distorted. It's almost as if the phone is using all of it's resources for the phone call, and only allocating a fraction of what it would normally allow to play the mp3.

I think you are on to something here. I'm surprised there is no fix to this problem yet. Does it not bother everyone else?

Have you found any fix for this, guys?
This phone is REALLY getting annoying... BSOD everytime, distorted ringtone, slow loading and freezes... Duh, wish I waited more and took the SGS2...

Anyone know if it's just mp3's as ringtones that are affected? How about ogg's? If noone else has tried, I"ll try later on.

Volume being very low....

The volume on my g2x was awesome the first two days I had it. Now its very low even with the volume turned all the way up. I can barely hear it anymore. Any thoughts?

I noticed this as well. Sound on calls is very low, when I listen to Pandora it is very low. I used to have a Mytouch Slide and when I listened to Pandora in my car my car radio was at volume 14 and it was loud. With the G2x playing Pandora in my car my car radio is on like 24 to match the same loudness as my Mytouch Slide on volume 14. This is with the G2x volume on max. Really disappointing. I did see a thread somewhere on here about changing the volume through a hidden menu but the values were hexadecimals or something and I'm not sure what they should be tweaked to. If anyone has any insight please share!
The app listed below works great for sound through the headphone jack.

Does this work for bluetooth headsets as well? I noticed that was quite low as well with headset volume on max and phone on max.
I haven't tried it, but if I had to guess I'd say no.

Unfortunately, to answer a question earlier in the thread, it does not work with bluetooth; in fact, it mutes the sound completely over bluetooth when it is enabled.

Yes. Tell the almost of the malfunction and say you just want a working phone. And you need the speaker to work. And you paid for a phone with a working speaker as advertised.

I do, but haven't looked into finding a fix yet. Let me know if you find one!
Haven't even tried...
However, it is interesting in that this was one of the things we considered "broken" in the short time we had BT working on CM7... I wonder if it's broken on stock too.
I changed CPU speed up to min 200mhz...fixed problems!

Did that. Less skips, but still skips at least once per song.
Whoops, just realize that I didn't save the speed as the boot settings. I'll test it some more
Ok, music still skips, changed the min cpu speed to 800 and changed governor to powersave. So far no skipping!

Yeah, that fixed it. . As always loving the gapless playback, but missing my "Instant queue" feature. :/. I thought they'd add it by version 2.
I bought PowerAMP a few months ago, and it really was the best music player I've tried. There hadn't been many updates and I was worried was on the back burner, nice to see it was only because they were working on a big update. Loving the beta so far.
Yeah. The ui is so sexy with the amoled display.

Audiophiles unite!

Just wanted to open a thread here for any audiophiles to share their audio equipment setups, apps, and EQ settings.
I have some Bose IE2 headphones for daily use, Beats Studio, and sometimes I use my 6.1 speaker system to play through.
I use DSP manager for EQ and these are my DSP settings http://db.tt/ZKOAhjRw
I use a slight bass boost and extreme compression. Also using voodoo.
Please, share your setup, whatever app or equipment.

Audio crackling issue

I have a random request. Could someone please download and install the game Pirates of the Caribbean: Master of the Seas on their Blaze? I am getting a crackling sound that sounds like a blown speaker whenever I click on anything in the game. It happens with both the external speaker and with headphones. I haven't noticed it on any other games, apps, music, etc.
I even took the phone back to the store and replaced it with a new one, but the same problem persists. I'm guessing it's this specific game, but wanted to see if one of you could verify it for me with your phone. Thanks in advance to anyone who can test this for me.

Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
Ok. Thanks for testing for me. Yeah, that "selection" crackling is the same I'm getting as well. The background music sounds fine, but whenever you "click/select" a button in the game, the audio crackles.
I contacted their tech support and they suggested I try updating to the latest version of Android. Haha. I guess one day I may be able to see if that solves the problem.
