Not sure if this has been answered, but I searched this sub-forum with no results. Is MultiROM something we might see in the future for this phone?
Also, bonus question so I don't have to make another thread. Is it just me or is this phone's Bluetooth audio significantly lower than other phones? Seems my S7 edge (screw that phone) got way louder in that department. That phone was stock, this phone isn't. I've never used audio mods but now might be the time. What do you guys recommend?
Don't know about MultiROM. Guess we'll just see.
Regarding BT audio. Didn't stumble over this "issue" yet. But if you're looking for a sound mod, take on that's really universal and we'll done. I use Sauron from Ainur Audio Team. Thread by the team leader @UltraM8 can be found right here on XDA. it's a sound mod with some really good add-ons and a really good audio quality.

Thanks for the reply!
I'm actually pretty surprised we don't have it (MultiROM) yet.
I'll go ahead and check that out once I'm off work, appreciate it!
Bump (is MultiROM still being pushed out anymore or was that just a phase?)
I found out about my Bluetooth issue. It was actually because I allowed poweramp to go louder than normal. If anyone is wondering.

Other than the stock rom most of these other roms have very tinny audio when on calls. I have noticed that the sound through the headphone jack in my car sounds ok.
I am asking the devs on here to please take a close look at this for the community.
Running cm7 with oc kernel
Amen. Praisethe10chars
I am getting frustrated beyond belief with the Inspire. I am about ready to put everything back to stock and return it.
I am running CM7, it runs great, but I can not stand the tinny call quality. I have flashed different radios, and still nothing.
Very frustrated.
I'll guess I'll hold off for now. Using a phone for work with little to no sound doesn't sound like to much fun.
I am still running stock and the sound is fine... so basically the problems are all related to shoehorned kernels. Wait till source is released in a few weeks and I am sure the problems will be resolved.

The source may not be released in just a few weeks...it could take quite longer, maybe up to 90 days. :/

Stock but rooted? I thought that left no sound

The kernel source was released yesterday by HTC, that is why you are seeing different kernels and ROMs in this forum now. I'm sure the devs are looking at this long and hard for a solution.
Ok I need more explaination on the "tiny" sound issue. Is it a volume level issue or something else. I'm familiar with fixing kernel sound issues on the captivate i can take a look at source to see what I can find but I need a better description of the issue. I'm currently still running stock do to the fact that i'm enjoying sense and haven't had the time to do the root process yet(so no sound issue for me), but I can still rummage through source and see what I can come up with.
It's almost a hollow sound for me. And I get echo of what I say through the earpiece from time to time.

Think of a combination of a low-frequency 1980's cordless phone combined with the calling experience through skype\google voice over 3G. It's a highly digitized sounding call experience, both on speakerphone and earpiece.
ok so its quality not volume. So that would probably mean radio kernel interfacing I'll look into it.

Correct, in fact, volume is GREAT, it's just the garbled\digitized sound. It'll crank plenty loud till it really distorts, so volume is good.
UPDATE: contrary to what a couple others have said, it's still distorted when using an external headphone.... not as noticable as using the phone's speaker or earpiece, but distorted more so than stock, for sure.
Thank you for looking into it for us.
Chrisryn is on the case folks. He's good. The Andromeda ROM he was on for the Captivate is what kept me from tossing it out the window.
Now we just need to get the rest of the team on Inspires. Andromeda for Inspire please?

Very cool. Thanks for looking into this. Let me know if I can be of any assistance. I am more than happy to be a guinea pig.
from what i gathered, it isn't a a kernel issue, so much as issues with the dolby information.
if 100% sound is important, use attn1s stock rooted rom. i keep a nandroid of it for when i need to use my phone as my mp3 player. otherwise, i'm running CM7.
also, jasonyump has a few audio fix tests for people to try.

I'm still looking for this answer: If I use this "stock ATT ROM" will I lose my HSUPA or has that been enabled on THIS stock rom?
This is my number one complaint with all the custome ROMS is the "tinny" sound. Thank you so much for looking into this

Wasn't that source the Desire HD kernel source, which is different from the Inspire kernel source as far as audio goes?
Sent from my Inspire 4G.
Is it possible to take a stock kernel and fix just the volume without any other mods? This phone is perfect for the way I use a phone, except the volume is low. I wear hearing aids in both ears and having a little more volume would be great. I know there are custom kernels that have the audio boost in them, but they also have a lot of other things added to and I don't need any thing except the increased volume
capman231
Its possible, but what's the point if all the extra things help, but not hurt anything. Just don't use the overclock, you'll never even know besides the fact your phone will be faster and get better battery.
So dilligaf which one are u talking about
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
just ask one of the devs to compile you a stock kernel with only the audio boost. one of them i'm sure would be nice enough to do it. maybe a tiny donation would push them along.
Thanks fellows for the replys. I just want the stock kernel with nothing but the audio boost and as Roger suggested, I will PM a couple of the developers and see if they can do one for a "Donation". It shouldn't be a major challenge because several of them have it already in their Kernels.
capman231
Getting ready to compile, no donation required(unless you really want to)
Dilligaf your the $hit
Sent from inspire4G
here it is. stock, sound boost(all outputs, including headphones). 4.4.4 toolchain
let me know if its too much sound boost. its what im using in my latest kernel.
should still be a little faster than stock too.
dilligaf thank you and I will donate something to the cause. My only problem with the inspire is my hearing impairment (Hearing aids in both ears). I miss almost all of my calls and all of my E-Mail and text notifications. How much louder does your mod make the phone's notifications and ring tones? I hope it's a big improvement because I like this phone and want to keep it.
capman231
25% boost. Any higher and it may start getting distorted, dsp manager can maybe help a little with that, but you need to replace some libs for it to work. I'll make a zip if you want, I'm gonna do some testing with it myself.
edit- do you use any of the TTY or HAC options? if so, theres some sound settings i could increase for those that i saw in the kernel source.
With that much boost, if I can't hear it I won't never be able to hear it. Do you think it would ba smart to have the DSP just in case? Let me know what you find in your testing and I will download it when you get it tested.
capman231
The HAC doesn't work, HTC told me they know about it and it will be fixed in the Gingerbread update coming this quarter. The HAC works on an incoming call but the party on the other end can't hear me. Haven't tried TTY yet.
I am new to this, I downloader the kernel, now what?
I am new to this, I downloaded the sound fix, now what?
Flash it. If your that new, I suggest reading up.
I installed dsp manager and all it did was turn off all sound on my phone. Noone could hear me in calls and had no notification sounds at all. I had to do a full wipe and flash a different rom to get sound back cause it wouldnt come back with just a full wipe and factory reset with that current rom.

Read this thread, I posted that if you install dsp manager, some libs have to be changed out or it won't work. It's just a couple posts above yours
Nothing against di11igaf, cause his rom's are great, but Inspired Saga is the loudest rom I've used.
Not sure what the HAC status is on that rom, but it is a Gingerbread rom from a Desire S.
thanks somuch for the kernal
would your sound boost work with something other than a stock rom?
Hello I am trying to get ICS working on my Inspire. I know there are camera problems and a tiny audio fix. But I don't believe I am having the tiny audio problem from what it sounds. My audio when making a phone call sounds like it is like 8bit. When people talk it sounds like they are robots or something. The volume is fine they just sound weird. I know this sounds funny but I can record some audio if anyone would like to help. I have tried all different ICS roms and they all do the same thing. Does anyone have any ideas? I would post this on a development forum but I can't.
Thanks for any help.
You're new. I'll take it easy. A couple things though..
First..Search is your friend. Use it. This topic has been discussed all over the Inspire forum, and is also all through the ICS threads. You need to flash Inspiremod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131256) or one of the many tinny audio fixes that are around.
Next - The development threads are for development only. ROMs/Kernels/etc. Don't post questions there, ever. If the ROM you have a question about has a Q and A thread, use it. Otherwise post in the ROM's thread. But SEARCH first. 90-95% of the questions asked have been answered on XDA somewhere..
Assuming you mean the htc inspire 4g correct. And the other guy is right. I'm learning that too. Lol. Search is your friend.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
Hmmm well thanks for taking it easy on me. But I have tried the insipre patch and it didn't help. The tiny audio fix doesn't seem like the same problem as I am having. But I will try it. I did search but maybe I didn't for it right. Yes I was going to post it on the thread that was already started for the ROM but I don't have 10 posts yet.
I thought posting on the Inspire4G board and saying it was an inspire. People would assume Inspire 4G. But I will make sure to be more clear thanks for your input.
I will try both of those and let you guys know if it works. Thanks again.
Why don't you tell us exactly which ROM you installed? All ICS ROMs are not the same. Was it from the Inspire forum or the Desire HD forum?
And the problem you are describing sounds exactly like wht the Inspire tinny audio fix is for. Audi sounds like you are talking through a tin can or a transistor radio.
Did you install the Inspiremod-v0.5.zip?
Thanks!
Ok the inspire mod worked. I had never read the transistor radio part I just read about the tin can and sounding far away. So thank you to everyone. I will try searching better (sorry about that). I had tried all the different ICS Roms the one I am using now is Black Hole Slushy. I found them all on the inspire forum. I tried Black Hole Slushy, IML74K, the other ones I don't see right now.
A transistor radio to me sounds like talking in a tin can far away. Happy you got it working.
Team
Just wondering if it is possible to add this code to any of your roms? It comes pre installed in the new One series of phones. From what I have read Apt-x allows uncompressed data transmission of lossless audio files. SO out Blue Tooth audio will be much better.
I have the HTC Car SterereoClip which has this CODEC built in. I just wish my Sensation had it so I can gain the benefits.
Thanks all

Ugh dev forum... ask questions in the q&a (question and answer). Or at least general. Follow forum rules. I'm surprised in 2 hrs I'm the first response.
Also bt is wacky right now for us (at least aosp roms). Several routing issues, so I doubt your problem will be solved until the regular bt issues get corrected.

Ok thank you
Sorry if this has been asked before, I did have a bit of a search and could not find a direct answer.
So far I am loving my nexus 5, currently using the latest build of omni rom. However I would like to increase the volume output as even with my BT headphones on max it is just not loud enough when there is a bit of ambient noise, for example when I am at the gym, the main time I use my phone as audio device.
I have seen some kernels that mention sound related things but have no idea what is best or if it actually does what I want? Could someone recommend some options for me please?
Also what is everyones thoughts on the quality of the audio output in general? I have come from a One X+ and so far I feel that my old handset may have been better but without a more controlled side by side test this is just speculation really.
Anyway thanks in advance!
I don't think there's much you can do if you're using Bluetooth. Afaik this isn't controlled by the kernel, rather the bluetooth stack itself.

this app works great! you chose in the app just how much you want to increase your volume, the app creates a flashable zip, you flash that zip in recovery, and you boot up louder
Thanks for the replies, I did wonder whether because I was outputting audio via BT it would complicate things. Will try the app though and hopefully will sort it out!
