Sound Quality

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Making a call / accepting incoming call
2. Listening Music

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The sound is distorted both on call and music by both headphones and speakers. 
It was ok at R15 version but after new versions sound quality got worse.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
R21, Inspire 4G

Please provide any additional information below.
I used Sabsa Prime 6.0 before and sound quality was very good. I think if you 
check that rom's code maybe you can get 1 or 2 things to increase the sound 
quality ( or maybe add Beats software because it may be the responsible one for 
increasing sound quality )

Have had the same issue. I have also noticed all 
sounds/notifications/alarms/etc have a tinny sound effect on the speaker. Have 
noticed this through R9.1 through 14 (Will be updating to R21 tonight, and will 
test again.)

I'm running r23, hoping that the bad audio would be fixed but it still appears 
to be distorted. I hope that the next release would fix it.

In response to Dex, is it fixed through the phone's speaker? That's where the 
issue has risen for me. I'm doing a clean flash of R23 as we speak either way, 
I'm just interested.

R23 has mutch better sound than R22 but it is still a bit distortion to work 
with. In normal earphones it sounds ok but when i connect the phone to my car 
to listen to spotify the distortion is back. connectto car using 3.5mm jack -> 
RCA

Keep up the good work ! This ROM kicks ass !!

slight) enhancement but still sound is distorted.

I've dirty flashed R24 and the audio quality appears to have improved, no more 
of the distorted bass, but the quality is still some ways from being good. I've 
compared the quality of the same song with the same pair of headphones on both 
my computer and my DHD without any EQ.

I somehow fixed the problem,

1. Flashed audio fix from codefireX thread 
https://www.dropbox.com/s/oa1trskrz3556w8/audio_fix_flashable.zip

2. Installed Beats Installer

3. Flashed AwesomeBeats V3.

I dirty flashed from R24 to R26.2 and the sound quality is excellent. Thank you 
so much for this, now I have the perfect JB ROM for my DHD.

I did a clean flash of 26.2 and had the audio problem and recently dirty 
flashed 27, but the audio problem persists. What is the fix?

Still persistant in R28. Problem has actually worsened. EXTREMELY tinny and 
quiet audio, now on both speakers (notification sounds, google voice talk-back, 
music through speaker, etc...) and during voice calls. 

Any word of where this problem is coming from? Seems to pop up intermittently 
from release to release.

after downloading the sound mod in the thread it seemed to have fixed the sound 
issue.

After a clean flash of R29 and the inspiremod+gps zip,  the phone sounds great.
