Hi everyone,
When playing a game (I've tested Brawl Stars, Clash Royale, Clash of Clans) or an alarm with a quite low volume, the sound gets randomly muffled as if there were some unwanted AGC (automatic gain control). This happens on all ROMs I have ever tested! Does anybody else experience this? Any solution?
This does not happen with headphones or bluetooth speakers, nor does it happen when playing music or videos.
Answering my own question: renaming "/vendor/etc/acdbdata" to anything else seems to solve the issue (but lowers in-call volume).

Hello,
I am a proud owner of a couple Android Phones since the HTC G1, the HTC Magic and so goes on.
Now I was very excited to get the Nexus S, but on the first day of use, after making all the updates to 2.3.2 and installing all my usual apps, I noticed a crackling sound when hearing music from the speakers.
I can not find the reason of this but would like to know if someone had a problem similar to mine, and if yes, if it was possible to solve it.
There are some facts about this crackling noise that I point as follow:
- The crackling sound is not present all the times. The phone works well when playing shorts sounds like ringtones and notifications. I can hear everything crystal clear;
- When I start to hear a song (tried many different players, all the same problem), or when I am playing a game that uses constant music or sound effects, the crackling sound starts after some minutes of perfect sound (usually between 01:00 and 01:30 of good playing);
- It seems like a irregular white noise, like playing a corrupted MP3 file, that gets in the middle of the media;
- It beguns with a low volume compared to the media and gets louder as time passes, until it gets more frequent and as louder as the music playing;
- At first I thought of a broken speaker, and checked the headphones, but the crackling sound appears when listening music on both headphones and external speakers;
- Then I noticed the crackling sound appears on long voice calls too.
Well... I thought it could be something related to the software, so tried the OEM recovery process (Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset), but it was not sucessfull.
[Q] Does anyone had a problem like mine?
[Q] Could someone point what could be the cause of it or a possible solutions?
Thanks in advance.

I noticed the same thing while listening to Pandora. Not sure what's going on. I'm on Modaco and don't know if its something in there or not.
I hear the noise after about 30 minutes of pandora.
I'm having the same issue running Modaco while listening to music via Spotify.
Just got back to the stock ROM, I'll see if it's any better and keep you guys posted.
I can now confirm that stock ROM is not affected by this issue.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Anyone here having problem on the speaker? When i test ringtone in sound picker and try classic phone or cassiopeia there something weird sound in my speaker
Yes I do too
What kind of sound? Like a distortion you mean? At maximum volume?
I think he means that vibration or something loose like sound that comes on certain frequencies. I only get it in calls at full volume sometimes but not with music playing.
Ah yes for calls it might happen. But if you are listening to music with a high bitrate (high quality), you should not hear any other noises. Because low bitrates (low quality) music can make weird noises at high volume.
Hey, from time to time I am noticing some weird glitches on games. Like for example when I press home button while playing a game, the sound level increases to max for a fraction of the second before exiting the app.
I can't always reproduce this bug, so I had no way of proving it.
But now I started to play Hill Climb Racing game and when I fully upgraded the engine of the first vehicle, it started to produce loud white noise even though I set the media volume to minimum.
Here's the video:

Can anyone else reproduce this bug? Is this a game/phone soft bug or something more serious?
I got the game and played for 30 minutes with the volume off. During that time, there was a really loud noise out of the speaker for about 1 second while I was racing. I didn't manage to get the engine upgraded fully, but yes it's clear that this game has a sound bug.
Phew! I was starting to panic!
Although for me there are no random noises when I turn the sound completely off!
Hello everyone im having issues when using Upscaler. The issue is when playing musing sometimes im getting a strange sound only lasting for milisecond.
Im able to reproduce it in poweramp where you can click on track line to play from any specific part of the song.
Not sure if this is the same problem or not, but i have a crackling sound.
It happens with both pocket casts and google play music. Everything will be fine, then a new podcast or song will start and all of a sudden the speaker turns to garbage, horrible crackling sound. If i plug in headphones and toggle the upscaler on and off, then unplug my headphones, the speaker works fine again.
I have to do this every couple of days. Anyone have that issue as well?
For me the issue was caused by having Adapt Sound enabled (which is simply adaptive EQ) & UHQ at the same time.
UHQ amplifies the harsher frequencies already amplified by Adapt Sound. For music, it's not a problem. I do, however, have to disable both for podcasts etc...
When i am calling someone(with whatsapp or discord) and playing a game at the same time both the sounds don't sound normal how do i fix this?
