Distorted ringtone

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.

Headphone sound sucks and low

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.

Move it to the phone like it was suggested to do so earlier in the thread.

Wow this is really sexy. I just hate how when pressing next, it switches songs so fast, that it just feels weird. But whatever, I still love poweramp.

Wound up playing with this a bit more. They've definitely improved the queuing of songs. Interface is nice, just had to get used to it. Looks like I found my new default player. Will most likely buy when 2.0 final gets released.

Volume help...

I am using CM7 rom for my infuse. But get very poor sound, I am trying to get the volume little bit louder when I play the media, I have used a couple of volume booster from the market but it didn't help much. Any one have any suggestion for me??? Thanks a lot
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

CM7 has audio manager built in. DSP manager I believe works really good. Mess with that one.

Voodo control kernels

Im kinda at a loss here ....ive tried several gb kernels and i cant seem to find one that is compatable for the voodoo control app.
Can someone point me to a good kernel for this please
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

Voodoo plus works great for me. Has on any kernel. What are you trying to do?

He probably does not have voodoo plus. I don't think we have a kernel with voodoo sound.
Voodoo plus is it for now.

Thats it i was trying to use the sound controls.
I loved that option when i had my vibrant
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

He probably doesn't. If he did I bet we wouldn't see this post here. So shortbus it's worth the cash. Get voodoo control plus. Problem solved.

Ok so with the paid vrs comes the extended sound controls for this device?

Raver puts his own sound tweaks in his ROMs if you are on Cyanogenmod Hybrid or Octaine.
Yes the paid version works without a supported kernel. I believe it even says that in the app description.

yep. Come to think of it the regular may also come with it. If you have non free version is there a choice to load sound driver?

The free vrs has the option....if the paid vrs has it and it works even thought the free one doesnt....i dont have a problem purchasing it.
The voodoo control app is a must have....works awsome on the vibrant and now i want it on this phone lol
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

The regular voodoo needs the kernel. I think that is how he entices you to pay for it.
"If you don't want or cannot flash a kernel, my commercial app "Voodoo Control Plus" has the ability to load Voodoo Sound with only root." -- free voodoo app description
So you need the paid because we do not have a custom kernel to support it... yet.

Yeah the paid one works. Go ahead and get it. Pretty nice too.

Ok thank you....thats the answer i was looking for

If you don't mind going back to Froyo, The Bali 3.3 kernel has voodoo sound support.
