Low sound issue sort of fix!

[Guest kn100]

So I noticed sometimes my Skate is ridiculously loud, more than loud enough for even the biggest headphones. On other occasions it's weak just like every other phone I've ever had.

I figured out a pattern. Set a song playing in media player, plug in headphones, ring something with the song playing (credit number will do), then hang up. Enjoy the song now being much, much louder.

Don't ask me why it works, it just does xD

For reference, I am running the newest version of At0mic.

do you not use the equalizer ?

[Guest kn100]

Yes but the EQ can only do so much, since all it's doing is boosting the levels of the song being played. This trick actually boosts the output power of the phone considerably, try it, you'll see what I mean

[Guest H3ROS]

No difference at all here, but then again mines very loud anyway. You're not using iphone or blackberry headphones are you since they do have audio issues.

I don't use the EQ because in my opinion it's kinda crap. Instead I use Headset Profiler to give my headphones their own audio profile and then I use PlayerPro with the DSPPack for clearer audio. I've also managed to toggle an option for Dolby audio, although I'm not sure if that works.

nah using Sony inears but this has worked for nmme onother headphones.

can you explain your setup in more detail?

[Guest NorthernNoel]

I've had the same problem so will give it a go. Had a bluetooth adapter in the car that plugs into a 3.5mm jack. Sound is nice and loud through that. If I plug the jack direct into the headphone socket it's pretty quiet.

[Guest kn100]

Let me know :)

@ kn100

• I use Atomic V4 and I have the EQ disabled.
• I run Headset Profiler so that each time I plug my headphones in the volume goes to 100% and then when they're unplugged it goes back to whatever they were prior to plugging them in.
• When playing music I use PlayerPro with the free DSPPack addon from the market. It makes the audio sound clearer, even with the EQ itself disabled.
• I use Klipsch S4 headphones

[Guest NorthernNoel]

Well I tried it but no difference, it's still quieter. I'm using Poweramp with no EQs enabled in there or on the phone. It's on Atomic 3c

[Guest]

Use poweramp & volume+ sound booster

Tilal was talking about updating his blueginger rom, which would be a current rom with Dolby sound. Hope so, as the sound is significantly better than roms built on 2.3.5

I know tillaz does not support bluemonte no more....but it would be cool if someone could continue the work on that rom too,with tillaz consent of course :)

Not saying bluemonte needs any work done to it,but a few extra tweaks can do no harm.

Where did tilal speak of updating blueginger ? That would be cool.

I am thinking of getting a blade2...do love my blades :)

Only reason is that my camera is forked on my omc.

But with all the development here I may get another skate...But then again,tilal is working on ICS for the cresent too.

I have been experiencing same low sound via headset regardless which ROM I use.

One thing I noticed is that there is a button on my headset and if I continue pressing the sound is much better and louder. But the problem is I cannot forever keep holding the button.

Can this be fixed in the ROM in some way?

THIS

it works a treat :)
