we need a sound fix

Other than the stock rom most of these other roms have very tinny audio when on calls. I have noticed that the sound through the headphone jack in my car sounds ok.
I am asking the devs on here to please take a close look at this for the community.
Running cm7 with oc kernel

Amen. Praisethe10chars

I am getting frustrated beyond belief with the Inspire. I am about ready to put everything back to stock and return it.
I am running CM7, it runs great, but I can not stand the tinny call quality. I have flashed different radios, and still nothing.
Very frustrated.

I'll guess I'll hold off for now. Using a phone for work with little to no sound doesn't sound like to much fun.

I am still running stock and the sound is fine... so basically the problems are all related to shoehorned kernels. Wait till source is released in a few weeks and I am sure the problems will be resolved.

The source may not be released in just a few weeks...it could take quite longer, maybe up to 90 days. :/

Stock but rooted? I thought that left no sound

The kernel source was released yesterday by HTC, that is why you are seeing different kernels and ROMs in this forum now. I'm sure the devs are looking at this long and hard for a solution.

Ok I need more explaination on the "tiny" sound issue. Is it a volume level issue or something else. I'm familiar with fixing kernel sound issues on the captivate i can take a look at source to see what I can find but I need a better description of the issue. I'm currently still running stock do to the fact that i'm enjoying sense and haven't had the time to do the root process yet(so no sound issue for me), but I can still rummage through source and see what I can come up with.

It's almost a hollow sound for me. And I get echo of what I say through the earpiece from time to time.

Think of a combination of a low-frequency 1980's cordless phone combined with the calling experience through skype\google voice over 3G. It's a highly digitized sounding call experience, both on speakerphone and earpiece.

ok so its quality not volume. So that would probably mean radio kernel interfacing I'll look into it.

Correct, in fact, volume is GREAT, it's just the garbled\digitized sound. It'll crank plenty loud till it really distorts, so volume is good.
UPDATE: contrary to what a couple others have said, it's still distorted when using an external headphone.... not as noticable as using the phone's speaker or earpiece, but distorted more so than stock, for sure.

Thank you for looking into it for us.

Chrisryn is on the case folks. He's good. The Andromeda ROM he was on for the Captivate is what kept me from tossing it out the window.
Now we just need to get the rest of the team on Inspires. Andromeda for Inspire please?

Very cool. Thanks for looking into this. Let me know if I can be of any assistance. I am more than happy to be a guinea pig.

from what i gathered, it isn't a a kernel issue, so much as issues with the dolby information.
if 100% sound is important, use attn1s stock rooted rom. i keep a nandroid of it for when i need to use my phone as my mp3 player. otherwise, i'm running CM7.
also, jasonyump has a few audio fix tests for people to try.

I'm still looking for this answer: If I use this "stock ATT ROM" will I lose my HSUPA or has that been enabled on THIS stock rom?

This is my number one complaint with all the custome ROMS is the "tinny" sound. Thank you so much for looking into this

Wasn't that source the Desire HD kernel source, which is different from the Inspire kernel source as far as audio goes?

Inspire 4G Volume Fix

Is it possible to take a stock kernel and fix just the volume without any other mods? This phone is perfect for the way I use a phone, except the volume is low. I wear hearing aids in both ears and having a little more volume would be great. I know there are custom kernels that have the audio boost in them, but they also have a lot of other things added to and I don't need any thing except the increased volume
capman231

Its possible, but what's the point if all the extra things help, but not hurt anything. Just don't use the overclock, you'll never even know besides the fact your phone will be faster and get better battery.

So dilligaf which one are u talking about
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

just ask one of the devs to compile you a stock kernel with only the audio boost. one of them i'm sure would be nice enough to do it. maybe a tiny donation would push them along.

Thanks fellows for the replys. I just want the stock kernel with nothing but the audio boost and as Roger suggested, I will PM a couple of the developers and see if they can do one for a "Donation". It shouldn't be a major challenge because several of them have it already in their Kernels.
capman231

Getting ready to compile, no donation required(unless you really want to)

Dilligaf your the $hit
Sent from inspire4G

here it is. stock, sound boost(all outputs, including headphones). 4.4.4 toolchain
let me know if its too much sound boost. its what im using in my latest kernel.
should still be a little faster than stock too.

dilligaf thank you and I will donate something to the cause. My only problem with the inspire is my hearing impairment (Hearing aids in both ears). I miss almost all of my calls and all of my E-Mail and text notifications. How much louder does your mod make the phone's notifications and ring tones? I hope it's a big improvement because I like this phone and want to keep it.
capman231

25% boost. Any higher and it may start getting distorted, dsp manager can maybe help a little with that, but you need to replace some libs for it to work. I'll make a zip if you want, I'm gonna do some testing with it myself.
edit- do you use any of the TTY or HAC options? if so, theres some sound settings i could increase for those that i saw in the kernel source.

With that much boost, if I can't hear it I won't never be able to hear it. Do you think it would ba smart to have the DSP just in case? Let me know what you find in your testing and I will download it when you get it tested.
capman231

The HAC doesn't work, HTC told me they know about it and it will be fixed in the Gingerbread update coming this quarter. The HAC works on an incoming call but the party on the other end can't hear me. Haven't tried TTY yet.

I am new to this, I downloader the kernel, now what?

I am new to this, I downloaded the sound fix, now what?

Flash it. If your that new, I suggest reading up.

I installed dsp manager and all it did was turn off all sound on my phone. Noone could hear me in calls and had no notification sounds at all. I had to do a full wipe and flash a different rom to get sound back cause it wouldnt come back with just a full wipe and factory reset with that current rom.

Read this thread, I posted that if you install dsp manager, some libs have to be changed out or it won't work. It's just a couple posts above yours

Nothing against di11igaf, cause his rom's are great, but Inspired Saga is the loudest rom I've used.
Not sure what the HAC status is on that rom, but it is a Gingerbread rom from a Desire S.

thanks somuch for the kernal

would your sound boost work with something other than a stock rom?

Voodoo Control Plus on Infuse?

Has anyone tried Voodoo Control Plus on Infuse? It is not listed as a compatible device but I understand the Infuse has the same sound hardware as the Captivate. I miss Voodoo Sound from my Captivate:

That app is only a controller to the kernel patch that is required...which is why Infuse is not supported yet.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

not supported yet, the patch h8trift is reffering to is in the app (plus version only) as a kernel module now but it doesnt recognise the infuse as a compatable device, im not sure how hard it is to modify the module or any scritps that verify the device but it may be posible to port it. supercurio has indicated that it is in his plans. though he has alot of things in his plans and has an sgs2 as well as a lg transformer now so it is probably not in his immediate plans. what i will say is that the headphones sound on the infuse is probably better than the sgs. same hardware but maybe they have a better driver or hardware layout because i cant detect a bit of noise and my headphones are quite sensitive.

this is just fyi but for those rooted but not using custom kernels or roms the infuse has been added to the supported list for voodoo control plus app. if you would like to donate to supercurio this app is a great way to do it. plus you will get any new versions of the voodoo sound driver before it gets integrated into a custom kernels, though im not sure if he will be developing new driver versions, it may just need support in the app for driver features that are already there. still a good idea for anyone notusinga custom kernel or who would like to support one of the most significant developers for the sgs line of phones

[Q] Voodoo Sound on the G2X

I was just wondering if Supercurio had given up trying to configure Voodoo Sound on the G2X because now it seems like he is putting all of his focus on the Samsung Galaxy S2 devices. I really love Voodoo Sound and right now the only thing he has done with the G2X is a headphone volume boost, so all in all i wanted to know if anybody could fill me in. Thanks.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

MultiROM support?

Not sure if this has been answered, but I searched this sub-forum with no results. Is MultiROM something we might see in the future for this phone?
Also, bonus question so I don't have to make another thread. Is it just me or is this phone's Bluetooth audio significantly lower than other phones? Seems my S7 edge (screw that phone) got way louder in that department. That phone was stock, this phone isn't. I've never used audio mods but now might be the time. What do you guys recommend?

Don't know about MultiROM. Guess we'll just see.
Regarding BT audio. Didn't stumble over this "issue" yet. But if you're looking for a sound mod, take on that's really universal and we'll done. I use Sauron from Ainur Audio Team. Thread by the team leader @UltraM8 can be found right here on XDA. it's a sound mod with some really good add-ons and a really good audio quality.

Thanks for the reply!
I'm actually pretty surprised we don't have it (MultiROM) yet.
I'll go ahead and check that out once I'm off work, appreciate it!

Bump (is MultiROM still being pushed out anymore or was that just a phase?)
I found out about my Bluetooth issue. It was actually because I allowed poweramp to go louder than normal. If anyone is wondering.
