So I've used Whitehawkx's G2x MIUI builds for around 5 months, and never had this issue before, but after flashing a SINGH MIUI I've had the same MP3 ringtone issue that I've seen pop up in other MIUI ROM threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20850981&postcount=434
For the first time, when I select any MP3 ringtone, it keeps the specified MP3 listed as the ringer on the settings screen, but it won't play the MP3 when a call comes in; it'll play the last default (MIUI-included) ringtone that was selected.
Notification and alerts work fine as MP3's. It's just the call ringtone that won't play correctly. I've tried with MP3's at various paths on SD card (media/audio/ringtones included) and always with the same result.
Again, these MP3's had no issues in the same spot with the same permissions on the same SD card when running WHX MIUI a few days ago. I wiped/formatted system, data, cache and dalvik prior to flashing the SINGH-UI version, but this issue seems to be sporadic across different MIUI roms.
MIUI users - anyone else have this issue on any ROM that can offer a clue as to how to remedy it? I've tried moving the file, using different MP3s, and a bunch of reboots, but it seems like a persistent behavior, though not limited to SINGH as per the link above.
Thanks.
I had this problem at first. Select your ringtone from the Themes app and not from the settings menu. This is what worked for me...

Confirmed: this works/solves the problem. Thanks for the speedy tip - I'm sure this will help a bunch of other folks too. Curious how this affected certain MIUI roms but not others. I wonder if this is a theme-related bug (custom them in my case) somehow?
To sum up: setting ringtone at the Theme level works; setting via system prefs misfires.
Okay, next riddle. There's a similar bug with the notification tone - you can set it in the system prefs, but it won't actually use the MP3 you specify. Unlike the SMS notification and caller ringtone, there's no place in the themes customization menu to override this.
Anyone work around this?

i've just started having this issue after the latest update. basically, the phone randomly changes the default ringer to random music files. i have currently set up a custom ringtone on the phone. it's basically a matrix ringer sound. anyway, as of the latest update, it keeps changing to randomly to songs of my internal memory.
also, another issue that i noticed, every time i open the gallery it seems to reload all the files. however, even after it's done, some of the latest pictures don't show up until i reboot the phone. is anyone else having similar issues.
Last night after muting my phone before going to bed I noticed the lock/unlock sounds don't work and the keyboard sounds are also gone. I've tried remuting the phone, checking all the volume levels, making sure the boxes are checked for the sounds to play. I've gone as far as reflashing my current ROM (CM9 nightly) and still nothing. Anyone have any other ideas? Email, text, phone and reminder sounds work fine.
My phone is a NS4G on sprint running the newest CM9 nightly. I've muted my phone before going to bed every night and this is the first time I've had an issue with these sounds not playing.
EDIT: I found the solution for myself. Download audio manager and see your system volume, mine was set to 0 for whatever reason. There is no native system volume setting but other apps can change it so it's good to have the audio manger to see if any other app changes that setting.
ROM CM10.1 M Snapshot and CM10 Stable
I've noticed popping and/or crackling sounds when Google Now plays back the confirmation audio (the "ba-ding!" when the microphone button is tapped, and the sound that plays after you finish talking).
The popping sounds can be heard through headphones as well as the external speaker, and does not happen any other time (music, notifications, ringtones).
Anyone else?
EDIT: I've found that the popping sound occurs when I activate the microphone button too quickly, but only with certain sound files. I can recreate the popping sound if I select certain notification sounds in the settings screen and tap it repeatedly. It seems more like a driver issue to me than a hardware problem if my memory of popping audio in Linux serves me right.
Audio does not pop while listening to music, watching videos, streaming music, etc. I think it may have something to do with the wav files used in Google Now. I'm trying to edit them in Audacity, but I'm being forced to import them as raw audio, but they don't play back properly.
EDIT 2: I used Odin to flash back to stock and it does not make any crackling sounds at all. This is clearly an issue with the ROM's I've been using.
Same problem here, popping sound on Google Now launch and quit. Driving me up a wall. Using AOSP based ROM and a CM10.1 kernel. Super noob here so, kernel maybe?

Sorry to rez an old thread, but this is the only one I've been able to come across where you have stated exactly the same issue I am having with Google Now. That popping noise is driving me crazy! Did you ever find a solution for it or a new rom that does not have this issue. I'm on a 4.1.2-based CM 10.0 rom and would love to find a fix for my current rom as I don't want to upgrade to 4.2+ as the multi-user capabilities of it make my precious Directory Bind unusable

Nope, sorry. I eventually returned it to stock and sold the phone. I'm poor.

unfortunately I have not been able to fix the Google now popping sound, I was able to get directory bind working however, if you need further assistance with that I can help you.
Context:
I use Moto Atrix 2 [edison] running MK44.4-edison-141019-RELEASE.zip
The following observation is from the day I installed Mokee in August 2014
I have similar experience with NIGHTLY ROMs as well. These versions use the modified dialer in google AOSP KitKat.
Problem:
My phone has an irritating tone for call drop/call waiting/ etc.
What I have tried:
I wanted to change the respective tones and hence was looking for .ogg or similar files in the system partition. I found media/audio/ui folder has some .oggs such as lock, unlock, etc. but nothing related to call hangup or waiting. There is no setting to disable the sounds as well.
After a little digging, (disassembling dialer.apk and incallui.apk and reading on the internet) I found that android does not use audio files for such sounds. Rather uses a C++ library to generate sinewaves based on given frequency and duration.
ToneGenerator.java, ToneGenerator.h, ToneGenerator.cpp are crucial in generating these tones. When I compared these files in ICS and Kitkat, i hardly found any changes. (I did not have this problem with Stock ICS)
Later I realized, this problem happens only during a call. e.g the above files also control the DTMF tones of the dial pad. When idle (no call connected), dial tones sound proper. But when in a call and I try to use the dial pad, the same horrible sound is played. This horrible sound is like a very slowed (slow tempo) version of the original tone.
This leads me to believe there is some problem with the incallui (or the section of dialer handling incall events) which probably uses a lot of resource: hence slows down "ToneGeneration" .
I have also tried changing the final variable MAX_VOLUME in ToneGenerator.smali (after disassembling framework.jar) to 50 percent, but it dint lower the volume.
Other Mokee users, please check if you have this problem.
Any idea how I can fix this or atleast change the volume to 0.
Any help would be appreciated.
I've set my own notification sound. It usually plays when I get an email or WhatsApp message. Recently I get a short beep instead. I can see that the sound it set properly; both in settings and being picked up correctly by those apps, and my sound plays as I'm setting it so it's available to the system, but it's still playing the beep. I've had this phone a month or so and it's been fine until now. This sort of thing has happened on other phones - just one of those Android things. Usually though it can be cleared up by setting the sound again in settings, or in the apps themselves. But this time it's refusing to play ball! I rebooted my phone. I'm not prepared to factory reset it. Anything else I can try?

Is it all the custom notifications that it's not playing or 1 or 2? I recently made a sound file that wouldn't play as a mp3. I made it into a WAV file and it worked. Not sure if that will help you.

It's just one. It plays fine at the point when i'm setting it as default, but the apps choose to play some other sound. I fixed this problem by going into each app, selecting another sound, save, exit, then setting it back to the sound I wanted. But I shouldn't have to do this (and usually I don't).
