I do hold that its related to a combination of hardware differences, and ROM. That would explain why not all have it.

Indeed, I pretty much always clean flash. Maybe was still present. I wonder if clean Viper 5.8.0, then a dirty 6.1.0 would make a difference?

+1 Best explanation ever man! :D
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ghostryder12:
Zero, I have been fortunate to not have speaker issues either. Another thought that came to my little mind...The M7 should be identical devices. However, HTC has a few assembly plants and each plan has different hardware suppliers. And some plants would have different suppliers of the same hardware item. So, while my phone softkey lights are not very visible with the back-light, yours are very bright. Why, because of different hardware suppliers. And that hardware responds differently to modifications.

OK, our M7 devices are not inflicted with a poor quality speaker hardware while other users are having problems.

It reminds me of when I was in law enforcement. All of our equipment requests went out for supplier bids and guess what. Low bid won 99.5% of the time. Back in the 80s, we went to rechargeable flashlights. We'd take them home to recharge for the next shift. 9 officer's homes burned down because of a faulty charger. The company? Well, once they received the money for the contract, they sent the flashlights and chargers, then disappeared...gone,,,in the wind.

My point? Low bid wins the contract and users sometimes suffer with sub-par equipment.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
It wouldn't be the audio chip. every S600 chipsets have the same DAC (WCD9310).

Speaker? Surely you mean microphone? :p

Someone mentioned about HDR microphone on earlier HTC One builds ages ago, do you think that could be related?

If it's a hardware compatibility problem, there isn't really much I can do :/ So in a way, it is kinda related to Sense 6 as no one has mentioned this problem on Sense 5.5 bases and I haven't made any changes which would affect the microphone (accept fixing the low volume microphone recording bug back in v13/14).
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gustav30:
I don't think any of the microphone issues are related to this mod.....There are a number of mic/speakerphone issues with stock Sense 5.5 kitKat builds.

I have an open support ticket related to the camcorder microphone bug, where the secondary Mic doesn't work after the first recording. HTC admitted to me a number of people have complained about this bug. And that is on stock 4.4.2 software.

Sense 6, the camcorder Mic bug is not present, but....Sense 6 port has a really low frame rate during video recording. I maxed out at like 11 fps on the Sense 6. port indoors.

For me right now Sense 5.5 on 4.3 jellybean is working great.

So in short, install a stock sense 5.5 M7 Rom, and most likely you will encounter one of the microphone bugs present without this mod.

I think is being amplified in this thread because this thread is devoted to improving sound.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ghostryder12:
It seems to be speaker and mic from all I have read and somehow remembered. And it does seem to be a Sense 6 port issue as I said b4. Ever since Sense 6 ported Roms have been created. Also like I've said b4, these issues may disappear once developers get the official Sense 6 base from HTC.

(I'm not a dev, just a user passing forward what I've learned)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] neniick:
I never had this problem, even when this first popped up in the thread I tried for 10min to replicate the issue, and I couldn't.

Then, last Saturday, I received a call and the other end could not hear me. She called 2 times and both times no dice.

Then I rebooted and suddenly she could hear me.

This was after using whatsapp recording and I checked if I could record with the HTC voice recorder thingy.

[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Already discussed with some devs that H/K audio can't be ported, not even on other m8 devices! Just like the situation with BoomSound for m7, we need the audioflinger to load the libraries.

me and [MENTION=3699616]mwilky[/MENTION] did an experiment, mwilky tried using the H/K audio libraries and Sprint's libaudioflinger (They are different to the normal m8's audioflinger!) and resulted in a system process not responding situation. Not a surprise though. It's what I did when trying to get BoomSound to work, we can't use different audioflinger from different devices or else it'll **** up the system.

That being said, we can't compile/make our own libaudioflinger as H/K's sources are closed and only licensed companies/manufacturers can have access to them.

Maybe I'm wrong though, maybe someone could get the system to bypass libaudioflinger and call the requires libraries without it being recognised by libaudioflinger.

Right now though, H/K audio can't be ported to m8/m7, BoomSound can't be ported to m7 and Beats Audio can't be ported to m8 all due to libaudioflinger not loading the files because it's not in the coding.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mikanoshi:
Almost the same with latest Sony Sound Enhancements, but they moved the code from soundfx libs to platform-specific libs, so they are not working on other SOC. They do everyhting to stop porting :)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] petiha1:
Man I'm so eager to get a proper port for the M8. :D If I had the money, I'd buy it for you right now. ;) Listening to music without boomsound is nothing special, and boomsound is not exactly great through earphones and unfortunately project ERA doesn't make a whole lot of a difference (yet) to the M8. :/
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gallardo5:
So on Google Phone Edition ROM I also have mic issues. Bit it is a bit different. Apps like shazam cannot detect the microphone. When I call someone it is fine, just apps cannot detect it. After I make a call mic works one time, and then again it doesnt work until I make another call. I didnt have to reboot ti fix it. And even after reboot mic doesnt work until I make a call, and then it works once, then again mic cannot be detected. ARHD GPe edition ROM
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Unfortunately, I have no idea how it would sound on an m8 :(

It's not a port you guys will be looking for, It's new features I could find out! Since the S810 has a new DAC, there are potentially more possibilities to further enhance audio quality.

I'm also eager to tweak BoomSound since I already know how to tweak it, it's just that I won't know what it will sound like myself...

I'm currently taking a break until HTC releases sense 6 sometime in May - June. Only then I can tweak BoomSound (If it gets to us) :)

Headphones only.
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] randykzc:
Accurately, it improves the sound quality regardless of speaker / headphones.. Speaker / headphones is just the output hardware.. If your speaker is sucks, no matter how good is your input audio quality, it will still sounds sucks.. Hehe

Zero, now that Harman/Kardon is working mostly for all m8 (as I saw you quoted in ViperM8 thread) is there a higher chance of it coming to m7? :D Or is it still limited by hardware
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
As Mikanoshi said, most of the sh!t is chipset dependant and we won't be able to port it because the files are specifically for s801 chipset.

i understand but you still haven't answered his question - i dont have a one x so i am completely oblivious to your work... sorry

he asked whether beats no longer works with your mod installed.

standard sound + beats = beats improved standard sound

standard sound + your mod + beats switched off = your mod improved standard sound

standard sound + your mod + beats switched on = ????
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
well, since this is an overall sound improvement, I'm guessing beats audio is also improved maybe... I don't have the device to test it out so I won't know

Of course beats audio will work! it's not like I haven't deleted the whole beats engine or anything xD it doesn't matter if beats is on/off, this mod is system wide. The mod improves sound with beats on OR off, it doesn't matter at all...

If people have tried, maybe they wouldn't ask this question...

All the live stage effects sounds weird on my rha m750... Will try it on my mdr1rnc when I get home. I've compared the speaker on mine vs my friend's pure stock m8. The speaker sounds clearer and more details with h/k

Using my mdr1rnc now with the h/k live stage effects. Very disappointed, all of them sounds very awkward and not natural. Turned it off and it sounds way better, maybe it's because I like clean audio more than effects. And I just found out that mp3 files can't be played anymore with that tweak.

[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Darkseth:
If you want a the best, purest, cleanest Soundquality, then turn this worthless Beats Audio off ;)

Thats just an Equalizer, that changes the soundsignature. Soundquality can NEVER get better, if it plays the bass and treble louder (it might even cause distortions),
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BrandonPrice31:
What about using fauxsound from fauxkernel with this mod?
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] poondog:
Does it do anything but become louder? :)
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Darkseth:
Sorry, im not using Faux kernel^^ So i cant say anything about that mods.

But unless you can Tweak the hardware DAC via Kernel further (like it was possible on the Galaxy S3 with Wolfson Chip, where Samsung worsened it for some reason), i dont think you could improve it much, except maybe with stuff like Oversampling etc.

Sadly, alot sound tweaks are more just an Equalizer, which raises the bass by 5-10 Decibel, and making it just boom boom into your ears... like i said, most people think more bass = it sounds better.

especialy, if you use bad speakers/headphones (like cheap logitechs, 10€ in-ears, beats headphones). Equipment like that wont really have good mids, bass, or treble. So the only thing one can do to make any difference: more bass.

So always take care when you try a mod, which says something like "extreme bass" or something. That mostly doesnt mean higher quality bass, but more... just bloatet bass.

The by FAR most efficient and effective way to get a better soundquality out of your device: Buy better headphones.

As stupid this may sound, but the headphones/speakers itself always are responsible for at least 75-90% of the WHOLE Soundquality.

Don't just buy some cheap stuff (which mostly also breaks too fast. 150-300€ headphones can save you more money over 20-30 years, than 40€ headphones you have to replace every 2 years.), and try to change the sound completely with strong equalizer settings like +6 over the bass, +10 on treble for "more clarity". Find a headphone, which pleases you perfectly out of the box. One, which makes you hate every equalizer setting, because its own sound signature fits you just so good.

(Well, thats not just for you, just some general thoughts about this. I see alot people who push the bass to the maximum on the equalizer, because they care only about the bass quantity, and no about mids, highs, or even the bass quality. If you use the cheapest 3€ in-ears you can find, you wont hear any sound difference in any device. Thats like watching 1080p Movies on a 20 year old tube TV. cheap headphones will limit the quality, because they are technicaly not able to show the differences in soundquality between good and bad Soundchip/DACs. Thats not only the case on Smartphones, but also on Sound on PC (headphones/headsets (never buy headsets) + PC soundcard, or your home cinema, or anything else)

Music has much more to offer, and in such cases, no mod could ever reveal things like that :) )
[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZeroInfinity:
Funny, because I don't do EQ mods nor do I constantly focus on increasing bass to extreme levels :P

Also, me and [MENTION=4379011]poondog[/MENTION] are doing some kernel-level audio tweaking as well. The thing is with our DAC, we can't tweak it like Wolfson DACs because they are totally different.

Also, my mod has no equalizers whatsoever. It just modifies internal system files and adds new ones as well.

Yes, I think everyone knows by now that the type of headphones or speakers are the major impact of audio quality :P same goes for over powering bass :P

[HTC 10 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mikanoshi:
And for those who think that 300€ for some headphones is effing ridiculous, EQ can provide some enhancements, I don't see anything wrong with that. No matter what you do with the sound settings, you just need to find what sounds best for you on a hardware you currently have, spending 300€ is an enhancement on a completely different level :D
