Voices sound like robots? - HTC Sensation

So with pretty much every ROM I flash, people sound tinny and robotic. I can understand them, but it's very tinny and I want good quality. Thru the headphones it sounds fine, just not the phone.
Might this be a hardware issue or is there some mod for this or is this a known issue at all?
I'm not a Sensation expert at all and so far searching hasn't given me the correct answer.
Right now I'm on Leedroid ICS ROM.

Now that's just plain weird.
If it is a software issue try backing up your current setup in recovery and then wipe all partitions except ad card then try to see if the problem persists.
Apart from that I can't suggest anything as I've never heard of that so I THINK it is a hardware issue. I would ask HTC about it and return the phone to stock and send it off.

Yes very strange, I agree I would return to stock and send back too.

The dev forum is super messy.
Can anyone link me to the shipped stock ROM that I can flash and then just do an OTA and maybe send it to HTC or see if the problem is still there?

No sound?

I followed attn1's guide to make gold card, root, and get true S-off. Everything works just fine on the phone except the speaker. No sound in calls, no sound for music, or YouTube.
I tried flashing CM7, same issue to see if this would fix the issue, unfortunately it didn't. What have I done, and how do I fix it.
Soundless,
Diz
This happened to me last night. Inspire kicked my butt yesterday lol. What fixed my issue was I went into sound settings and started adjusting all the volumes and then I tried the physical vol up/down button on the device and sound came back. I have no idea what caused the issue but I had it yesterday.
did you run hackerize ace clean after flashing the new radio?
Yes.
Should I go back into cmd and repeat that process?

Try a flashing another rom and probably a different kernel and see what the results are.
Leedroid's kernel is a good starting point

Flashed Core Droid and that seemed to fix my issue. How would I implement this into CM7? I prefer AOSP look and feel compared to HTC.
Thanks all for looking & the help.

Try reporting it in the Hellfire Phoenix thread and see what the dev says, I don't think one of those speakers is a mic, that's the way it was on the iPhone, but the mic seems to be just a little hole. Pretty sure those are both speakers.
I don't know though, I'm no expert. When you flashed, did you wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, and system beforehand? If not you were bound to have problems anyway, try that and reflash, don't restore any of your apps and see if the problem persists, if it does we can go two ways from here. First would be to see if you got a bad download, re download the zip and put it on your SD card, and make sure not to use CWM to transfer files, and also make sure to NVFlash CWM as just flashing it through ROM Manager is not safe.
If all else fails, use a different ROM and report the problem to the developer.
I've done all these steps numerous times and still same problem. Also I looked it up, checked with my friends who have the same phone, and talked to T-Mobile service reps and they all say it the the left one is the mic and that they aren't supposed to play together. But I would ask on the devs thread but I don't have that permission yet because I haven't made 10 posts yet. I know its the Tom because I followed the instructions exactly, I even waited 10 mins before moving of like he says to do. Also I went back to weapon g2x and the problem was solved.

Could you make a video of this?! That's actually kinda cool! Do you have any issues when using speakerphone?
I've used speaker phone maybe once. I'm on CM9 sk3. Using Power Amp I put my thumb over one speaker and that muffles the sound, move it over the other and the sound is muffled the same amount. If I were getting sound only from one at the most, and likely would get the opposite effect since the reverberance would be focused more, there would only be a slight difference when covering the non-functioning speaker.
Don't know what to say about a video, you won't see me covering the speakers, I have no webcam to record me.
Edit: also running Faux B4

CM7/MIUI low microphone gain permanent fix/solution

Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone has found any solution to overcome the CM7/MIUI low microphone gain issue during voice calls?
The other party on the line barely can hear me during voice calls.
Have searched a lot and haven't found any fix except for the hit mute/unmute during call to temporary (only applies to that call) fix the problem.
Is there any other solution, like replacing system audio driver files from stock/other ROM to fix the low microphone gain issue permanently (well, at least till the next flashing)?
Never had any issue on stock Froyo or Gingerbread. However, not intent to return to stock due to this issue.
I'm on the July 15 baseband with Wind mobile in Canada. Currently using MIUI 2.3.2 with Faux123 048 kernel. Tried stock CM7, Trinity kernels, no go.
My wife has the same phone/system, however she is still on the June baseband. Same low Mic issue applies to hers as well.
Any input is greatly appreciated!

I would love for something as well, this issue seems to be out there for some others phones as well on CM7, i believe their intentions were to reduce background noise. Either way, if anyone steps in that'd be great. I have searched through build props, and system folders looking for anything that says "mic" I got nothing lol. If anyone has any thing they think I should search through I have time today so give me any ideas.

Couldn't agree more! I found as well that it has something to do with CM7's reduced microphone gain values to prevent voice distortion. Read about library file libaudio.so might as well "involved".
It is not that significant, however I'm using the phone frequently for voice calls and always mute/unmute is a little annoying.
I customized, fine tuned everything else to my needs and if this thing would finally get sorted as well i could lay back and fully enjoy my device (kidding, still would messing around with flashing around).

Exactly my thoughts, that's my only true complaint about CM7. People don't seem to realize it though I don't know if they are the type that always talk loud or what lol... but I definitely noticed and know its true cause I restored my 2.2 left my self a voicemail & recorded with voice record... and then went CM7 and left a voicemail and voice recording and it was crazy different playing through speakers and through earpiece. So I don't know what else to do....

yup, I tried GetRIL and tried all the different RILs (rebooting after installing each) and no difference. It's definitely something in the CM code. Somehow it doesnt react well with this phone's mic setup.
hope it gets fixed cause i'm never going back to stock.... soooo slow

Hi mt3g,
Read that you're using ICS. Just wondering if you feel any improvement mic/voice-wise compared to CM7? If so, which kernel are you using it with?
Thanks in advance for your input!

Part of this problem is the ROM and part of it is the kernel. CyanogenMod had this really bad at one point and they fixed it a little with a kernel tweak and then improved it a little more with a change in some of the audio drivers. So, it is hard to get it right. I have not really ever had this problem and I have been running MIUI GB based with the Trinity Kernel by Morfic (if that helps anyone).
Ya all of what I presumed it seems to be a hit or miss but it isn't just the g2x, which made me believe that it really is an issue even though people don't have it. I don't talk loud on the phone but maybe I need to start lol... either way willing to deal with it... p.s. I had the issue on all miui roms all kernels no matter what I tried.

There's an excellent initiative from r4d14n7 resolving this issue.

Noise

Hi.
I'm experiencing some heavy noise during calls, anyone else who have the same problem and do you have any idea how to solve it.?
I love the phone, everything is great about it, except that noise.
I have used 2 operators, one with excellent 3g cover and one with just the opposite and there is no difference.

you don't say your baseband

I updated it to 1.78 and hoped that would do the trick but no, same prop.

I don't have a cover on, love the design as is.
Should it be necessary to reset a brand new phone.?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
i would exchange it--if you have audio issues on 1.78, i think it is phone
many others have similar issue
if you want to LeeDroid--but, probably won't help as bad as you say it is--
OK. I actually considered to exchange it for a Nokia, glad I didn't.
However I still have the problem(it's my fourth phone) but it only occour when I talk, the ringing is clear as crystal and I don't have any other audio problems.
Could I solve it with a custom rom, or do you know if it could/will be fixed with an update.?

Believe it or not I just went to the tmobile store to test another htc one s and it has the same issue so hopefully this OTA will help us least I feel better that mines not the only one.
On a side note the phone there had a better calabrated screen looked better we need supercurio and rbg changer for this phone it being super amoled once you play around with that the results are alot better
Any of you have an sometimes unresponsive bottom portion of the screen?
Other than the noise/static, the phone works perfectly. Screen is beautiful and responsive, speed is amazing and wifi picks up where my old iPhone didn't. No flaws here.

Not sure if you guys with noise issues are rooted. But, when i went to LeeDroid 2.1, all noise gone--
I haven't rooted yet, but if a new rom could solve the problem then...
Is leedroid one of the best?, I really want to keep sense because that's one of the main reasons for buying the phone.
Could it be the noise cancellation that's not fine tuned.?

not sure why it went away and yes i find leedroid perfect--i have no issues--this is what i wanted coming from constantly flashing differnet roms on my n1 and always trying to get out of trouble
great phone--rooted, i have nandroids and titanium backup and leedroid tweaks thanks to J4n87. still have sense and ics--best of both worlds

device rebooting and freezing

im running ordroid 9.0.0 and i get this freak error my device reboot many times and dont stop until i remove the battery and i hate it cuz its reboot during a phone call or when browsing ive done so many thing to prevent this problem but no use any help ???
ps.ive done full wipe thing and dont tell me to reflash it cuz ive already dont it
Very strange that never happened to me while running ordroid . However I just had it happen to me ruining Aokp. I also needed to pull battery for it to boot. Strange because ordroid never gave me any problems like that! I wish I had the answer. IM going to strat maintence rebooting my device daily and see if that helps. Its reconvened we do that anyway. I wish I had a clear answer for you but all I know is my device just did the exact same thing with aokp rom. Hopefully we can get some answers. best of luck to you. Mine only did it once and its not a continuing continuing thing like yours. I hope you get the issue resolved. I'll be watching the thread for answers. Good luck!

Check to see if your battery is lose and if it is this is your issue. This can be fixed by putting a small piece of paper onthe battery area to stabilized it. This is not my issue but it could be your s . If the battery wiggles chances are thats the problem.
