[i9023] CM9 Problem with System Sounds

Well, to make it short, every single sound file you can find in /system/media/ui wouldn't play. It's not that the sound files are corrupted, I've tried putting a new set there, or "it's just like that with CM9, you really must stick your ear in the speaker to hear it", there's no sound coming from the speaker.
Yes, there's no keyboard sounds, no clicky sounds, or whatsoever.
What's the problem and what should I do?

Hello!
I have the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S i9000T with Cyanogenmod 9 Stable.
I try to play audio files in /system/media/ui with a file explorer and listen properly.
Another observation: using the headphones I can hear the sounds normally. That makes me think that the problem is the system sounds with the internal speaker.
The problem is "solved" doing a factory reset.
Thanks!

Sound record and calls problem

Hi there!
Since this afternoon no one is able to listening me in the calls, but I can hear them. I installed a voice recorder and the sound is incredible low, only listen when my ear is right to the speaker.
But If I use the free hands mode people can hear me out, so what is going on? A mic is broken?
Broken os + AK kernel

I just had the same problem, look at this video and tries with the voice recorder. I have installed a version for CM12S whether the problem is hardware and I did the test with the voice recorder and it is even lower than in the video

Whatsapp Voice Calls Too Loud!!!

Hey All,
I have a problem with Whatsapp voice calls, the volume of the conversation on the earpiece is too loud even on the lowest setting, I have to put the phone away from my ear in order to hear.
This is only on Whatsapp Calls. In regular phone calls and Viber calls it is normal and I can lower the earpiece volume normally.
Anything I can do to fix this? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling a different version of Whatsapp but it didn't fix the problem.
Any app that can lower the volume even more?
Thank you kindly in advance.

I think it's not a Whatsapp problem. I just noticed that Viber calls are also loud!! It seems that's a problem affecting data calls only.
If i restart my phone the problem goes away for a few minutes and then comes back.
Very frustrating...

mine does the same. I don't use viber, but whatsapp sure is loud. I actually noticed call volume doesn't affect whatsapp call actual volume. As you say it's too loud at the minimum, but it's exactly the same even at the max. It's like it's stuck at max volume, and lowering call volume in the phone doesn't actually affect real whatsapp call volume. is this your case too?

The volume in Whatsapp might be based on 'Media' volume setting instead of call volume setting -- of course, this would be a bug as well. Try reducing the Media volume level before or during a call and see if that helps. Settings -> Sounds and vibration -> Volume -> Media. Hope it resolves your issue.

That was my first thought too, unfortunately none of the volumes have effect on the whatsapp call volume..

Yes it's exactly the same thing. I also tried lowering all the volumes like media and call and ringtones... i even performed a restore to factory settings to no avail. Very annoying!

you can change that in settings

Change what in settings?
We mentioned that we tried lowering all the volumes from the settings. Is there any other setting to change?
Furthermore i noticed that sometimes if i make the Whatsapp call, there is no problem. But if i receive the call and answer it, the volume will be stuck on loud.
Please someone help.
Thank you.

I'm having this problem too. Extremely frustrating and I'm considering returning the handset and getting something non-Samsung because of it.

PS I have contacted WhatsApp customer support and they don't seem to be able to help - it appears to be a Samsung bug.

What can we do? Wait for a software update from Samsung?

no hints?

Well it seems that the recent Samsung Firmware update released this week around 300MB solved the issue, fingers crossed.
I'll keep testing though... and will report back.

Same issue here but with S4 and this thing started with lolipop update and persists.

Have you tried resetting it to factory settings after the update?

Tried two different roms and it was a clean install every time, I'm not using ota. This is a problem with lolipop TW roms on S4 and seems lke S7. Maybe android 6 fixing this bug? I can't try cause there are no 6 for s4.

I have a LG v30 and same problem .. cannot change call volume no matter what

same issue on my kenzo using custom rom

Hello, It was a firmware issue which was fixed in Stock ROM's, it won't be fixed in custom ROM's. You need to buy a pair of headphones with inline volume control.

OxigenOS 5.1.6 sounds too loud also at minimum volume.

Hi, I've update the op6 to oos 5.1.6, but I noticed that with the minimum volume the sounds are TOO LOUD. Is impossible to mantain the phone with the sounds on at work with this volume. There are any methods or a different way to reduce the volume of system+ringtone+notification (because OP has merged in a only one volume)?
I am rooted and I have twrp.
Change volume percentage (original mininimum is 14%, I tried 4%) with automate or something like this, doesn't function.

You can try gravity box to separate notification and ringtone volume or a custom kernel to edit the speaker loudness :good:

I have the same issue. I have had to turn notifications off for Facebook and Messenger as its too loud. The only other way to stop them is to set the slider switch on the side of the phone to vibrate....
I thought it was just me, but not being able to totally volume down notifications is a major flaw in this firmware

How to increase Bluetooth volume?

I've a pair of Bose Bluetooth headphones but listening to Spotify the volume is very low. How can I increase it? I've rooted and magisk installed.

I've had the same issue when using Bluetooth headphones

You can try disabling Absolute volume in Developer Settings

spotify sometimes "normalizes" volume so it may be doing that also.
in spotify settings turn off that option

Get better headphones. Or try this;

I don't really use Spotify so this may not be accurate, my volume is about the same as my s9+ was over bt, but I installed ainur sauron mk3 and my headphones got a little bit louder.

I just checked my 7 pro, and it's disabled by default in developer mode.

I tried the "good old" OnePlus 5T "trick", unpair your headphones and repair them, this fixed my issue with my aire2's as the volume was really low, and when speaking on the phone, the sound from my mic was really noisy in the other end, so now everything runs perfect!

Volume In spotify
I was having the same problem and what fixed it for me was forgetting the device in Bluetooth settings, then reset the Bluetooth device. After I paired them back up the sound hurt my ears because it was turned all the way up lol

Use viper4androidfx ? Kind of a must have for audio anyway and you can manually adjust the output in db
Ah lol just noticed the thread is old af.. nvm then

I am having the same problem. Coming from Huawei Mate 20 X, the volume is too low. Even on maximum output (doesn't matter if absolute volume is enabled or not) the volume through my Sony WH1000-XM3 is one or two steps too low compared to the Huawei.
For listening at home it is fine but when out and about in busy city, it is quite annoying.
Any fix?

I'm also seeing the same issue coming from a Note 10+, I'd say this is around 20% lower volume in comparison.
