Have you noticed the extremely low volume of the G1 speaker. i can bearly hear the audio whever i play mp3 or video files. Even the phone ringing is relatevly low compared to any phone i have ever owened!!!
Is there a way to alter the hardware setting and get higher volume out the speaker???
Seems fine to me, doesnt seem too low, mayb its the mp3 ur using. I raise the volume of my files with itunes, but even the default sounds on the G1 seem fine.

Yeah, adjust music/video volume using the keys on the side of the phone while playing a song.
I'm sure you already did that so.... there's a program called volume control that let's you adjust every volume setting the phone offers. Also, my speaker has never been that loud anyways but that program helps a bit.
Any one of you guys know where i can but a new speaker phone peace/thing for the G1. I blew mines out with the volume hack. -.- Thanks in advance.
I've noticed the low volume on Cyanogen's ROM, but on every hero ROM I've tried it seems MUCH louder.
I've noticed it too, but I've always used Meltus' AudioHack app to correct that problem.
The only thing I noticed on the G1 that is weak would be the vibrate. That is pretty weak.
My phone started doing this before donut was out. I was using Xrom, and thought it was the rom causing it. I'm running Dwang 1.13 now, and discovered that my issue is being caused by T-Mobile's Visual Voicemail apk. The speaker would work great until I opened VV. The VV apk, routes the media sounds through the headset speaker, like when holding the phone to your ear in a phone call, but it doesn't always re-route the media sounds (and ringer for that matter) back to the loud speaker. There is a hack/apk/widget out to fix it, claiming it to be a cupcake issue, but I only had it happened to me after using VV.
To figure out if you have the same issue, block the loud speaker with your finger and play a song. If it gets louder when you remove your finger from covering the loud speaker, then you have a different issue. If it stays the same volume, block and unblock the headset speaker to see if it changes.
MT3G Fix

If you are running MT3G/Magic You can also try this on the G1 to see if you get better sound
CM's system usually doesn't add the MT3G Sound XML
Download and run this: http://drop.io/tfwtv3d/asset/volmt3g-signed-zip
If this doesn't help, use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517745
i had this more then one , dont know for sure bit this is after i did a switchrom, a simple reboot is a fix

I always cup my hand under the phone when watching videos, it boosts the volume a bit

This problem is really annoying, can someone post a link to the fix for me, I haven't been able to find it.
This also happend to my phone. Started with the last stable before the whole google thing with cyan. Tried a hero rom and it was pounden out sound.
So if anyone does have any insight on how to fix this, with reasoning, that would be nice. No "i did this and reset and it just worked" stuff.
Thanks
Also wish my G1 would be louder when a phonecall came in. My older HTC Juno was extremely loud which I prefer because Im not where my phone is 100 percent of the time.
I would also greatly appreciate some insight on how to make the speaker louder with some tweaks and or apps.
Thanks in advance.

Use Meltus' audio hack, it makes the phone really loud. I suggest using g7-6r2
Aye, that should do it
Also, for people experiencing routing problems, my files might also fix that too.
The G7 files included fixes so that they would run on the Cupcake/Donut/Hero/Sapphire. It might fix it, i'm not promising anything though

+1 If your G1 is quiet download Audio Hack from the market and it will not be quiet anymore. People tell me all the time, "dude your phone is ridiculously loud". I love it..
Meltus' app is amazing, i used to hate when i went to show everyone a video from youtube and you cant hear nothing when your out in public. Def recommend it to anyone who thinks their speaker is low.
Meltus Audio Hack.
Your welcome.
My G1 speaker is terrible!
The other end hears constant echo, and it's very soft for me to hear anything.
I flashed from CM9 , followed the directions in OP. Everything is working as advertised , except when I switch to speakerphone during a phone call there is no sound . When I play videos on YouTube or the browser no audio when my volume clearly says its on the highest level. Games with sound work its strange. Anyone had this issue or suggest a fix. Thanks
Edit: the sound doesn't work for games either

So currently running the nightly 17 build, but issue was the same with previous builds. Curious if anyone else has this issue or if there is a fix. Issue I'm having is since the install of CM10 [all builds I've tried so far], when sending a Voxer message, the audio recording is incredibly low. Also, if Voxer application is running in the background, when making a phone call, the call quality is horrible and modulated. Quit Voxer, and phone quality is back to normal. Didn't have any such issue with stock. Thanks.

The low volume is probably tied into the same bug that's giving the video recording low volumes, which hasn't been addressed yet and has been going on for a while.
Thanks for the reply. I thought it might be connected but with the phone call quality also dropping after voxer use I wasn't sure. If anyone else is using voxer on CM10 can you confirm a severe audio distortion if you use voxer, then immediately after make a phone call?

I don't use voxer at all, I just know that there's an issue with the developers not using both mics in our phones(or at least thats what I am believing the low volume in the video recording is... seems like they're using only the mic that is when the phone is up against your head/mouth and not the 'speakerphone' mic to grab audio around the room)
Voxer
How did you get you voxer to work at all? i launch it, the screen flicker for about 10 secconds, then my whole pohne shuts off, and i need to remove battery to get it to come back up. any help anyone?
It just worked for me. I did a clean install, etc... The only oddity is that when the phone dialer and voxer are open [even in the background], then any subsequent phone calls have audio interference. Force close voxer and it immediately goes away. That and the low audio recording issue that everyone already knows about.
same issue

I can confirm that I am having the same issue with cm10 on my gs3. I didn't realize that if you closed voxer the issue was fixed. Thanks for the tip. it's there somewhere we should submit this bug?
I've had the exact same issue...

I'm running CM10 on my AT&T One X. Everything is fine except for the speakerphone. The volume is really really low.
The speaker seems to be fine by itself. When I play a video from youtube, the volume is exactly as it should be. It's only on phone calls or google+ hangouts where the volume seems to drop low.
Anybody have an idea on how I can fix this?
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.
