[Q] speaker "explode" noise - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

when on max volume, the speaker will make a loud horrible crackling noise( like its exploding ) this will only happen in certain songs.
pretty sure my speaker is broken, or maybe its software?
what should i do?

Try to do the same thing on another OnePlus One. If its happening there too, maybe try another rom. If its still happening, it is the song.

Which ROM are you on? I'm guessing you're on CM12 (or some lollipop based ROM) I notice that same crackling noise on max volume (speaker) when I play Clash of Clans. Just reduce it one volume step down and the noise disappears (only solution till it's fixed). Otherwise wait for stable CM12S. If you're on CM11S/CM11 then that's not good

Yes I can hear it on Zeta ringtone. As I mentioned earlier its a lollipop issue (its still in beta), only solution is to be patient until CM fix it or reduce one step below max or go back to CM11s/CM11 (because that's stable).

I also have this problem when playing most things on YouTube on max volume. It's a problem for all cm12 based ROMs.

Any reason the headset might stop working?

I recently switched from CM10 to JellyBam version 5.2. It is running Android 4.2.1. Ever since I installed it (and I've tried re-flashing it twice) the audio is only coming out of the main speaker and not the headphone jack. Does anyone know why this would happen?
Update:
It seems to not be recognizing the headphones at all. When I set it to make the phone silent when I plug in headphones nothing happened.

If you check that thread you'll see that there are problems routing sound to the headphones in this release.....ther's also a suggested fix as well.

I see that a permanent fix is on it's way through some code change. Others report that app works for them, hope you have the same experience.
It foes work... However the auto detect wasn't working for me... When I use headphones I had to set it that way
.. Using the speaker I had to set it to speaker... Its not jumping through hoops as its just checking an option. But it does indeed get the job done

How loud can it go on headphones?

Yo.
I need an answer on this. Can this phone go loud on headphones? Opinions are very mixed... How is it compared to Moto G?
I heard there are newer versions of N5, did they change something with volume or not? Maybe Android updates does something to it?
Pls notice that I'm talking about headphone out, not speakers.
Mine goes very loud. I also use viper4android though.
There is only one version of the n5

trollop thinks he's funny
could someone say how it is without v4a, just stock phone?
Not running stock but it's plenty loud. There's a mod and an app to let you change the mixer_paths. The DAC still isn't the greatest but at least you can turn up the volume.

Could you please tell me what this app is called?
So I can basically install it, change some numbers in mixer_paths and get higher than stock volume WITHOUT DISTORTION? That would be great!
Here you go
Loud enough to blow my ears out on max volume lol. It depends on your headphones too anyways.

In what unit of measure? Decibels? The output partially depends on your headphones and rigging up a decibel meter isn't exactly going to yield great results. Also, if I answered in decibels, I don't think you'd be we to process the information usefully.
..and that is why trollop was funny. You asked an unanswerable question. 11 is as valid as anything else because there is no unit of measure that answers the question that you could possibly understand.

Horrible call quality

Hey all,
Everything was fine and dandy with calls being loud and clear, until about a few days ago.
One day the call quality from my side just randomly went from great to terrible.
I can hear the other side just fine, but from my side its really low-volume and barely hearable.
Things I've tried:
-Flashing different radios (25R,30O,33R,Find7, radio from the latest nightlies)
-Flashing different ROMs and kernels
-Switching network modes (LTE, 3g, 2g)
-Combinations of the above
If anyone has experience dealing with issues like this/knows anything to improve the call volume from my side, any help would be very much appreciated.

You are not alone, I've had similar issues. For me speaker phone still works perfect, its just my voice during a regular call that's terrible.

Yup, the speakerphone works great but its inconvenient.
Gutted to have such a basic function impaired.
Hopefully this issue will be fixed by the next OTA, which should be next week around Monday.
Same here. My call quality is really bad. When I am speaking on the phone I'm typically running around desperately trying to find a quieter place, with the phone held up to my left ear and a finger plugged right into my other ear, hunched over like Quasimodo in a desperate attempt to understand 50% of what the other person is saying.
I learned one thing from the OPO. You actually do get exactly what you pay for. Lesson learned. :good:
win
So, after updating to the latest version of vanir and re-flashing the 33R radio, my in-call volume magically got back to normal.
I wish everyone affected best of luck and patience :fingers-crossed:
OPO hype much more than the phone deserves. Not going to last long

@Kiahnlliya I agree with you 100%. Same lesson learned. In fact, if it was not for the invite system, I wouldn't have bought this phone. I just had to own the phone, most difficult to buy.

@Kiahnlliya @jrior001 @latenightchameleon My in call audio volume from the earpiece is really very low & muffled. I think I am audible on the other end, coz haven't got any complaints from people talking to me. I am on stock 33R unrooted. This is really annoying & really hope I can get rid of this issue with a firmware upgrade.

You should try the latest cm nightlies, they've pushed a bunch of improvements to audio and volumes.
It's a very simple fix if rooted. You need to edit a value in mixer_paths.xml. Some custom ROMs increase the value.

It'll be very helpful if you could please let us know what exactly has to be edited, with what values, in the mixer_paths.xml file.
Thanks in advance.

No you'll need root or custom recovery to flash the zip unfortunately. Otherwise you will need to wait for your ROM to be updated. CM have merged this in their commits so hopefully if your on stock CM11S you'll see this in the next update.
thanks alot mate for the fix.
Simple fix found
Hey i was having the same robotic voice on the reciever's side as well and i found a simple fix for it! just disable the "ok google" detection and delete your voice recording as well. It worked for me.. It might work for you as well.

[Q] CM12 is so quiet...

Forgive me if this has been asked already (I did spend 5 minutes searching here to no avail...)
Obviously since official CM 12 came out the glitchy audio problems have been sorted out on all the ROMs, though no matter what lollipop ROM I install it's just too damn quiet. Feels like it maxes out at about 70% the volume of CM11S and as I listen to spoken word not music it's become unusable.
Is this some weird confluence of events that only affects me? (I can't find any other complaints) Anyone know any workarounds? I installed Viper4Android and it worked but there was no way of getting it any louder (if anything it was a bit quieter no matter what I tried)
The buggy Beta CM12s were fantastically loud, but alas the Max Headroom style digital glitches made them unusable.
I would love to be able to hear my audiobooks and podcasts again. Can anyone please advise?

Thanks but doing that killed my OPO. I now get "couldn't play back the track you required" on Play Music and "episode appears to be in a format we can't play" with Pocket Casts.
I should also have pointed out that speaker volume is of no interest to me, just bluetooth and headset. Thanks for taking the time to answer me though.

Great work! The ROM is pretty stable and fast. Good battery life also.
The only issue is that the "wake up when picked up" feature is not working.

If Temperature exceeds the limit, the Sound Chipset turns OFF automatically to safeguard it, like at first boot the Temp is very high that's why we loose sound. To turn it back ON we need to make a call.

The initial thread in "Original Android Development" tells us that the audio bug is still there.
However, I wished that this issue would get a higher priority.

This procedure does only help a few people. For me as for others, the occurrence is totally random.
I never faced Sound disappearing issue randomly when temp exceeds, the sound automatically disappear.

I am glad that this works for you. But I guess (= no know) that many things depend of and influence the audio driver (which I understand from @Alberto96 causes the problem), so that every kind of different configuration can change the behavior. I am sure that more research has to be done before we can see a solution.
If @Alberto96 has a better explanation, it would be nice to read it here.
Edit: I read it and understood it wrong. So, my comment is nonsense. But it seems that the sound disappearance happens after different triggers (temperature, vibration, headset plugged in...)
I'm trying to make a call, but the call is muted. Sometimes I can hear, it seems that depends on the person, has phone number that I can hear, already has others who do not. Attached logcat.
