Hi,
Whatever the ICS rom I try on my Desire S, I've never been able to have any sound.
At first, just after boot, sound seems okay : I can dial a number, and hear the dial sound. As sound as I start making a call, sound is disabled (speaker AND micro : no incoming/outgoing sound). Every sound is then disabled : incoming calls, music.
But If I plug the hands-free kit, the sound works okay ! ...
The only way to have sound working normal is to revert back to a GB rom.
This thing is making me crazy. I tried everything I could have been able to think about :
Updating radio (currently 20.4801..30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M)
Trying different HBOOT (currently S-OFF with hboot 2.00.202)
Updating recovery (currently 4EXT recovery touch v1.0.0.5 RC3)
I had no sound because of kernel problem. Try different kernels.
H-BOOT and recovery will have effect so don't bother messing with them. Especially not the H-BOOT. It's more trouble than it's worth.

Hi there guys, I've been putting latest cyanogen roms / myhero/ Casense roms on my htc magic 32A, but it seems no rom whatsoever can produce a ringer sound anymore
to my testing, when playing sound from media, no sound whatsoever anymore either...
when calling someone and being called, I can hear the people talk and talk back, so the speaker isn't dead it seems.. suggestions?

have you got an answer? same situation. Flashing my old nandroid (working) backups didn't work neither. Waiting for a solution. If you get it working, please pm me.
Hello All,
I just want to ask regarding my phone mic not working.
I tested just now with camcorder apps. When I start record something with sound and other background noise, then I played the record - all the sound seems working fine. So, I assume the phone mic is working.
But, when I tried to make calls, people not hearing my voice. I tried to used voice recorder and tried to play it again, still no sound being records. I even tried to use google voice, also no sound being pick-up.
My question are why using camcorder apps can pick-up the voice or background sound, but, voice recorder, call to other and google voice cannot listen to any voice I made?
Any suggestion or explanation is really appreciated.
Thanks in advance for all the help...
Notes: I am now in Revolution XE with audio beats Rom... Have test with all revolution ROM, and still have the phone mic problem.
+1. Exact same problem here - been flashing ARHD Roms for over 6 months no dramas, then somewhere in the last month this occurred to me as well.
I have tried nandroid backups, full wipes and reflashes, various roms, sense 3.6, 4 and vanilla to no avail! I know the some of the cyanogen chefs have been having audio routing issues - but even in the supposedly fixed versions I still get the same problem. The best I've done so far, and after numerous voicemails to myself, is get it to a point where headphones with a Mic will work. When I answer a call the loudspeaker Mic activates, so I sound really distant, but if I talk into the back of the phone (directly into the Mic) its better, but I cannot hear them. When I activate loudspeaker neither Mic works
I'm back on ARHD 6.6.7 but now, and not even headphone Mic's work. I've tried flashing volume boost zips, beats zips, vol+ from the market - nothing! I've even gone back to a branded (Telstra Aus) Rom someone posted (based off an ICS, but not official) and nothing! I would brand it back up and call it a warranty job (even though its a software problem, not hardware) but I'm just out of warranty. Somebody plz help!
I have had this issue too on all roms except inser coin. Try flashing insert coin sense 3.6 Rom to see if the mic is back.

I am on MIUI 2.5.18 and the headphone aren't know by the phone as a microphone too.. I want to know if there is a mod to fix this problem.. thanks

mkzak78 - Just found your posts in the ARHD thread - it seems we are having the exact same problem, which makes me think its software, not hardware. That and the fact that the loudspeaker mic works fine to record video, but nothing else!
My understanding is that when we flash custom roms, not all files are replaced - only those which need to change for the new rom to work - this allows the roms to be smaller in size. For instance I put a custom splash screen on my phone when I first got it, and through every wipe and flash, it remains the same. Things such as the microphone settings/drivers wouldn't need to change between roms, so perhaps they are not included in the roms? somewhere along the line one of these files has been changed, but it is not being fixed as the rom's we keep flashing don't include them.
I'm wondering if its possible for somebody without this problem to upload a nandroid backup, which I believe includes everything. if we could restore that, it should fix it. Whether or not a nandroid file can be flashed to a different phone however I'm not sure.
Can anyone provide some advice on whether this is correct, or help us out? My previously awesome phone is now a very fancy paperweight if it can't be used to make calls - I'm desperate!
So I have been searching for a while now for a way to get DSPManager working on my Sensation running stock ICS. The only reason I want it is for the dynamic range compression feature. I listen to a LOT of podcasts and they tend to vary in volume and sound quality and the DRC feature would help a lot with it, especially when playing audio from a car stereo.
I have Rockbox on my old iRiver music player with this feature built in and it works flawlessly. However the Rockbox Android port is basically non-functional on my phone.
I rooted and unlocked the phone back in February hoping that would allow me to overwrite the existing files on the phone with the DSPManager files (or the beats audio files). I was able to get it installed and it opens to the screen, but when I try to enable the DRC feature, it crashes.
It seems like the only way this will work is if I flash a custom ROM (like Elegancia.) The problem is that I tried getting S-OFF earlier today and it failed, downgraded my HBOOT from 1.29 to 1.27, and almost soft bricked my phone. I was following the directions in this post. I recovered from a nandroid backup and was able to get the phone going again. I still have S-ON at this point. This is my only phone, so I'm paranoid about permanently screwing it up.
So... is it possible to get DSPManager working on the phone as it is? Or just install Elegancia without S-OFF? This guy has a tutorial where he installed Revolution HD successfully with S-ON.
I've also looked for an app that would give me dynamic range compression but haven't found one.
I'm still a noob to all this flashing stuff... just did a lot of reading before trying this. So take it easy. Thank you.

hi mate,
once i tried to flash beats audio in my ics rooted stock rom and it flashed it successfully
but after that when i open htc's music widget to listen some songs i saw beats audio icon in status bar
but the problem was that from the widget i hadn't sound at all
just playing the songs without sound
maybe it screwed somehow htc's music app
i don't know about dsp manager but if you try it do a nandroid first just in case
about flashing roms with S-ON you can see also this

Search up acid audio mod. It has a Awesome Beats manager (kind of like DSP). It also improves the sound quality a lot.

I've been experiencing a very frustrating issues where the mic is not working during phone call. I can hear the the other person but they cannot hear me, and if they can it's very very low, so low that they can't make out what I'm saying.
However, the microphone does work again if I go to speaker-phone mode. So i know the Mic itself is working (sound recorder works also).
I think somehow the phone thinks a headset is plugged in and disable the mic unless I'm on speaker-phone mode.
I don't think it is a ROM issues as I have tried a large number of different ROMS, including flashing stock OPO image. None worked.
If anyone know a solution to this issue please help me out. It's very frustrating that I can't make phone calls and have to turn on speaker-phone or use a headset.
Try a different Kernel, had the problem with my 3 different Headsets, i tryed the same ROM with some different Kernels and with the AK Kernel everything worked fine...not with the Furnace! Also try to flash UKM over a Custom Kernel. Check out the AK Kernel there you can find everything you need. If you have done everything right as in the "manual" open up Synapse...there is a point called "Sound", there you can find the point "Microphone", volume it up and try again. if its still not working make a full wipe that your device loses all data and reinstall the original CyanogenMod 11s with this tool here or any tool you want!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/oneplus-one-toolkit-manudroid19-gui-t2807418
If its still not working delete again everything with the tool, install the CM11s with this tool again, install the CWM Recovery, flash the crDroid Rom (best ROM and everything works for me!), flash GAPPS, flash AK Kernel and last flash UKM!
This is my current setup and everything is working

No luck here. : /
I've tried everything from flashing different ROMs to flashing different kernel. I even went back to factory reset, lock/unlock bootloader to wipe device. None of that work. Very frustrating. I'm starting to think it's a hardware issues, since trying out that many ROMs didn't help at all.
Did you informed oneplus already?

Yep, filed a support/warranty request. But god knows how long it'll take for them to get back to me. There's no phone number support or anything. : /

Hi,
unfortunately I have the same problem. I've tried to fix it even modifying the system/etc/mixer_paths.xml but nothing works (http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...icrophone-ok-google-low-t2805568/post53914918). I noticed when that changing the values of hph-mic and anc-mic to 0, then handsfree mode doesn't work neither. Therefore we have clues to think the main mic is which has the problem.
Curiosly, I do not have had this issue out of the box, I think it began after 30O update. However I've downgraded to 25R and the issue remains.
I hope you the best luck
Regards

Cynogen 11s team is working to add support for CTIA headphones soon. See my post in similar thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55186894&postcount=25)
OK figured it out I uninstalled the latest hangouts update and made and received several calls all seems to be ok now
Is there any update regarding this issue? I still have this mic problem during calls and no clue on how to fix it.
OPO microphone problem is a hardware problem
Same problem here.
One morning main microphone in my OPO died - no one can hear me during call.
Recording sound with main mic gives some barely audible sounds.
tried reboot/factory defaults /root with fixing mixer paths - to no avail
The only solution is to call with speakerphone or bluetooth headset or normal headset.
Looks like hardware problem. Sadly OPO support sucks.

I have a similar problem. Did you find a fix? I did everything. Restarted, ROM changed and everything!
As I wrote - no fix - IMHO it is a hardware fault. Still waiting for response from OPO support in hope for receiving RMA.
I am also thinking to return the phone because of this issue.
Just adding that I also have this problem - phone was working fine until yesterday.
Now mic is extremely quiet in call, unless I switch to speakerphone then it works fine (Video recording sound is fine also, but Google speech to text etc is not working)
I installed Swiftkey last night but I think its unrelated
Has anyone found any solutions for this problem yet?
Yes, I sold the phone!
:laugh:

I´ve opened a ticket. I advice to do the same.
- They will send you a link, with the ZIP-file in this link you have to reflash the rom. But probably it won´t work.
- Then tell them that it doesn´t work (of course only if it doesn´t work).
- Apply a RMA request
- Send them your ONE
- Receive an new one.
I´m waiting for the TNT courier, at the moment.
same problem here. No response from support. now recently even the emails to [email protected] are bouncing back with error, cannot deliver your email to the address.
So.. I'm having the same problem now..
I can't even submit a RMA, as I bought the phone from a person without the invite - so I have the receipt and everything, but when trying to submit the RMA, I have to select the order - Which I have none of, isn't that just wonderfull?
Did any of you find a solution?
I've had Samsung GS3 and GS4 with almost the same issues now and it is killing me, my will to keep living with these problems are close to none...
Hello guys.
My device is Nexus 6.
After a while when i had random reboots here and there, i decided to clean install the rom again, so i formated my sd card.
Later on i did the simple steps of installation, rom, gapps, root, kernel etc..
So everything is great right.. Yeah well after getting my google account's apps back from the cloud and some minor usage, i realized i have no calling audio whatsoever, even if i press speaker or use earpads, only sound i hear is the disconnecting beep when i press to disconnect.
Another weird thing, others can't hear me either.
So what i did is simply trying to clean install other ROMs with the same result..
As of now after like a full day of installing and clean flashing, i am on Ressurection Remix ROM, with ElementalX kernel, ive also tried an older version of the kernel.
At first i have installed all Gapps, then kernel, and then checked, it was all fine. (could call no problem, no sound issues)
I have installed DivineBeats, listened to some music with viper4android + Dolby+ all great..
So i had to make a call, and realized it does this thing again, no sound at all on calls unless i hang up and hear only the short hangup beep.
tried ofc rebooting and clearing cache/dalvik cache with no luck, i also realized i have NO SOUND at all throught speakers, wether its media, typing or anything, with earpads however i do hear media sounds just fine.
Please, i don't know what to do.. a phone without a calling option or sounds.. is just unusable..
Thanks ahead ://
Little update, flashed FrancoKernel r73 (latest).
I do have media and typing sounds..
NO phone calls audio whatsoever, doesn't matter if i use earpads, earspeaker or speakers, can't hear anything but the disconnecting beep.
Tried disabling apps, tried Safe Mode..
Still no audio when dialing...
What could possibly cause ONLY the dial to lose functionality?
